How on Earth Did a Photo of a Potato Sell for $1 Million?
This potato cost a lot of cheese.
Someone coughed up more than one million Euros (about $1.1 million) for a picture of a potato, proving that while some people out there have disposable income, some have a lot more than others.

— The Independent (@Independent) January 25, 2016
An unidentified European businessman is the proud new owner of the photograph, which was actually taken in 2010. The picture was taken by famed photographer Kevin Abosch and sold at an auction last year.
It's believed the picture will go down as the 15th-most expensive photograph ever sold.
There are two other copies in existence.
Abosch, whose photos can command up to half a million dollars, has taken shots of non-potato subjects that you may have heard of, including Yoko Ono, Steven Spielberg and Sheryl Sandberg. He routinely sells pieces in the luxurious $280,000 range and claims this is the most expensive one he's ever sold.
For a potato.
Yeah, let that sink in, like warm butter on a baked potato.
If you're still not sure if this is an excessive amount, go to Wendy's and get one with broccoli and cheese. We promise it will be well short of a million bucks and it has two toppings.
As you may have suspected, news of the $1 million potato photo caught the attention of exasperated people on Twitter:
Need to start making more potato art..

Someone sold a pic of a potato for 1M—Please tell whomever bought it that my Instagram is now for sale.

A photographer sold a photo of a potato for 1.08 million dollars. This is why I don't understand art.

Is 2 minutes waiting time between matches acceptable?
Hi guys Lachie here,
I have been playing a bit of Titanfall lately, as I have previously written about and there is something that has been bugging me in between matches. As you may know I do not play a lot of online MP and prefer to mostly stick with story driven games. One of the main reasons for this is I like to become immersed in the game worlds and really take that time to break from reality and enjoy an outer body adventure. You can get this through a variety of different genres and even with other technological mediums such as movies, books or music. However when it comes to video games I find that the break between online matches severely disconnects my involvement in the game.
Now I know that in most games, especially on consoles, there will be breaks between action in the form of loading screens which can sometimes go for a few minutes. However in my experience if a game has long loading screens then it is often panned by critics as a problem or used as an excuse by some gamers for why they do not like the game. If a game takes more than a minute to load into a new area then that is perceived as a defect of the game.
Say I told you that I knew a game that was really fun to play and had great over the top action but for every 10-15 minutes that you play you have to wait between 2 to 2:30 minutes to play again (90 seconds allocated break + loading time). You might be dominating, flying around the map blowing up countless enemies and feeling totally badass, and then suddenly it stops and you sit there twiddling your thumbs for a couple of minutes. This would be inexcusable in most games but seems relatively accepted in online multiplayers.
It could be argued that you need that time to organise loadouts, stuff around with your settings or maybe go for a quick wee but if you have been playing the game for a while you do not need that long. I found myself simply sitting there waiting once I passed level 20 because I did not need long to prepare for the next match. This completely broke my attention with the game and in a medium that I want to get completely lost in I feel that the excessive break makes this impossible to achieve.
What is the solution? Should game designers simply cut back on the break times to a minute, or preferably 30 seconds? I believe so. People can quite easily drop out of the game lobbies if they need to fix their loadouts or make a cup of tea, if they are that way inclined. Shorter breaks would mean that you could not lose focus on the game because you will be thrown back into a match without having time to think about outside issues. This would increase engagement and make it feel like a continuous spree of dogfights rather than a series of disconnected matches. Maybe this is an unfeasible request due to designing constraints, but if it can be achieved why is it not happening?
Feel free to let me know if you disagree, or agree, or what you solution to this problem would be?

Frock Shop returns with a flock of bargains this weekend
A good sale can be found daily -- just check out Groupon. But a great sale is much harder to find -- and twice a year, Frock Shop delivers. Katie Gartner, founder of Frock Shop, even does all the leg work.
See also: Fashion Lab Runway Show, Mona Lucero Fashion Show
"I started Frock Shop because I saw a couple of gaps in the marketplace," she explains. "I saw the need on the boutique/designer side for an outlet where owners could gain exposure while selling overstock and samples. I also saw the need on the consumer side for a place to buy unique designer merchandise at a fraction of the cost."
For its fourth sale, Frock Shop has gathered original samples and overstock items from many local designers, including Mona Lucero, Audrey Marie, FreeRavin, Rae Marie, Janie G, Stephanie O Designs, JM Designs, Vicky Krabil and LamanBlu, as well as several boutiques: Goldyn, Blush, Nest, Anna Be and Token Threads. The pieces will be sold at a fraction of their original cost -- 50 to 80 percent off the pricetag -- at Fashion Denver , 1070 Bannock Street, during the sale that starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday, October 5.
Frock Shop also has a VIP early-shopper's package that would make a great girl's night out on Friday, October 4. For more information, visit the Frock Shop website www.frockshopsales.com.

Actress Deepika Padukone is known for giving us some of the finest performances in recent years-from Cocktail to Ram Leela, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani to Race 2 , Finding Fanny to Happy New Year.
And now Deepika Padukone is set to take her acting prowess a notch higher with Shoojit Sircar's family comedy drama Piku.
Apart from the fact that the film Piku is a casting coup-since it brings Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone together for the first time, Piku is also Deepika Padukone's first stand alone title role since her debut in Om Shanti Om.
In this quirky father-daughter tale, Deepika plays a modern Bengali girl alongside Amitabh Bachchan who plays her father. Currently India's top actress, Deepika has always experimented with films, a fact that is evident from the diverse range of roles she has played in the past. It is this desire to seek diversity in her body of work that got her to say 'yes' to Piku as well.
While talking about her decision to pick Piku, Deepika Padukone told a leading newspaper, "I want to read a script that makes me wonder, "How am I going to do this?"
Incidentally the script of Piku has been written by Juhi Chaturvedi. Shoojit and Juhi gave audiences one of the best entertainers in recent years-Vicky Donor. Even though, like Vicky Donor, Piku is a family comedy drama, what makes it different is the sheer line up of the talent.
Talking about his decision to cast Deepika along with Amitabh and Irrfan, Shoojit says, "It's not just actors, but even us directors want to work with mainstream stars. We want to reach out to maximum people..."
Well with Piku, we hope Shoojit hits a bullseye.

Review California State University - Fullerton
I've only been attending CSUF for a year now, however, I can definitely say that I am loving the experience. The classes I've taken so far are wonderful and the professors are always so engaging and willing to help any student who asks. The campus itself is modern and clean. One thing I especially love about the campus is that it has an arboretum. I tend to go there during my breaks and just immerse myself in nature whilst studying. The only complaint I have is the parking, which is a complete nightmare! If there were more parking structures for students and school staff to use, I'd be a happy camper.
It is a college situated in Orange County, CA. Near Disneyland. It is a very large campus with so much diversity and everyone is very friendly. My first year was awkward for me being away from home but there are so many clubs, organizations to get involved with that once involved you have so many things to keep you busy. I feel that I have grown so much in my two years tremendously and being more open to new things and campus and community involvement. Community involvement is what Fullerton thrives on for their student. Get involved! I've grown as a student and as an individual thanks to all the help that is here for the taken and the people who really want you to succeed.
Great school with even greater professors! Have not met one professor who did not want their students to pass. Class sizes are small despite what you may here my biggest class was 100 kids but my smallest was 12. The campus is constantly expanding and is student centered. Only downside is, is that if you are a commuter it is hard to find parking if you are not at school by 9 o'clock. However they offer a variety of majors and minors. Only thing is you have to get involved to get the most out of your college years!

As of this morning's ER shift, I've volunteered over 900 hours (901, to be precise) at the hospital.
There was a death today; also a birth, since we heard the telltale snippet of Brahms' Lullaby on the overhead. The death was premature. I hope the birth was full-term.

Why I nearly walloped Louis with his Strictly glitterball! And it's not just because he's got a new girlfriend, says Petronella Wyatt
Tangoed: Strictly and Olympics champ Louis Smith with Petronella Wyatt
Despite knowing that interviewers should be impartial, I want to wallop Olympic double medallist and Strictly Come Dancing champion Louis Smith with his glitterball trophy.
The British king of the pommel horse, who proved he could trip the light fantastic just as well as he could the light gymnastic, has stood me up three times. We had, I thought, arranged to dance together. I've polished my polka and spruced up my salsa, but, like the song, Louis won't dance.
Finally, on my fourth attempt, he agrees to meet me in London's Proud Cabaret club. He strolls in — looking even younger than his 23 years — with his pecs flexing, fulfilling every woman's fantasy. But his opening gambit is not encouraging. 'I'm sorry,' he says politely, 'but I don't know why I'm here.'
'To dance with me,' I say.
'Oh,' he replies, putting down his Team GB bag. 'But I'm not sure I can lift you.'
I bristle. Is this a reference to my weight? 'Oh, no,' he answers. 'It's just that I'm a bit exhausted, what with everything.'
I'm not surprised. After covering himself in glory with silver and bronze medals at London 2012, Louis started Strictly rehearsals almost immediately. Then, following a stuttering start with partner Flavia Cacace, he went on to win the competition with a perfect score for his showdance to Take That's Rule the World, when he made his unforgettable entrance — topless on a giant globe.
And now, after being given an MBE in the New Year honours list, he is preparing for the gruelling Strictly tour, which starts tonight.
Or, I think, it could be down to his new girlfriend. He coyly declines to name her, but told a magazine a few days ago that he hasn't been able to sleep for thinking about her.
'She's just a girl I've had my eye on quite a bit recently,' he said.
However, he makes it clear his tiredness is down to his public triumphs. In a voice that sounds as if it has barely broken, he tells me: 'I don't know what was more thrilling — winning two medals or Strictly. Though, of course, I have dreamed of the Olympics all my life.'
Born in Eyre, Cambs, to an English mother and Jamaican father, Louis showed a flair for gymnastics from infancy. Aged four, he'd practise balances by putting his feet in a bucket attached by a rope to the ceiling. His amazing skills meant he was dubbed Mr Fantastic Gymnast on Strictly. And he admits: 'I think being a gymnast gave me an advantage in dancing over the other kinds of athletes.'
He is probably referring to cyclist and fellow Olympian Victoria Pendleton, who did not distinguish herself on the show. 'It's hard if you're a rower or a cyclist', says Louis. 'You're not trained to use your whole body so much.'
I attempt to shoehorn his upper body into the costumes we have been loaned by the Strictly suppliers. It is icy cold and I have an off-the-shoulder spangled dress with a cut-out on one side. 'I wouldn't like to wear that,' he says. Luckily, he proves agreeable to changing into slinky black trousers and a Latin-lover-style white shirt.
Flavia Cacace and Louis Smith wowed judges and audiences with their impressive dance routines
Louis says he found the training for Strictly 'much harder than for gymnastics. I have been training for the pommel horse for so long that it was a doddle compared to Strictly. And the hours were longer, too.'
He was approached to appear on the show before the Olympics even began. 'I think they wanted a line-up of Olympians,' he reveals. 'I already knew I was in Strictly on the day of my Olympic quarter-final.'
In the end, he and Victoria were the only London 2012 celebs — their rivals included such unsportif stars as Jerry Hall, Sid Owen and Fern Britton.
Unsurprisingly, Flavia assumed she wouldn't have to motivate her athlete partner to train hard. But she said: 'He would practise for 15 minutes, then want to lie down for five, because he said the Olympics had taken so much out of him. I had to keep him concentrating on the dancing because he is easily distracted. It all worked out well in the end, though, and he was a brilliant partner.'
Louis says he thought Flavia was a hard taskmaster. 'She is the nicest person I know and was very patient with me. But she pushed and pushed me and would only allow me 40-minute lunch breaks. To be honest, I didn't think I'd last long on the show.
'At first, the judges lacerated me, which was a bit devastating. But Flavia said I picked things up very quickly. Then in Halloween week, when I came top of the leaderboard, it all seemed to come together. I'm very supple and I think I gave the programme a new circus magic.'
Work horse: The athlete's strong opinions belie his years - behind his charming farewell smile is steel
Smith never knowingly undersells himself — but he does it in the careless way of a youth who has yet to be touched by failure. With his open, everyman face and toned body he reminds me a little of a lucky World War II pilot.
When it comes to dancing with me, he certainly behaves as if he's been captured by the enemy and is refusing to cooperate.
'Could you spin me around?' I ask, looking as if I have been poured into my sparkly dress but have forgotten to say 'when'. He shakes his head. 'One of the hardest things was learning how to lead,' he says.
I wonder if he enjoyed dancing at all? 'I found Latin very hard. I prefer ballroom. I didn't like having to shake my hips for things like the salsa. Everyone laughed and it was a bit humiliating.'
He does, however, agree to let me touch his bulging but granite-hard chest and lift my leg in the air. He looks so young that I feel like one of those women in the era of tea dances who picked up 19-year-old gigolos.
'Nice biceps,' I mutter.
'Yours are good, too,' he says somewhat ambiguously.
He tells me he put himself on a two-week, carb-free diet before going topless for the showdance. 'After the Olympics I allowed myself to go on a binge so I did really need that diet. It's not true that athletes look great all the time,' he says with a disarming flash of modesty.
The medalist says he is not sure how to take the fact more people probably know him through Strictly than for his Olympic achievements
My leg is beginning to ache. I ask if he will lift the other one instead, as it is feeling left out. If he won't dance with it, at least he ought to introduce himself.
While I'm up there, I ask should athletes be given honours. Aren't medals enough? This animates him so much he jolts my leg up so hard I feel it will rip away from my hip.
'Why shouldn't I get an honour? If the Royal Family chooses to notice me, why shouldn't I? Honours are totally different from medals. Honours are for service to your country. It's less personal.'
It's a pity he didn't bring his medals along, as I could have danced around them instead of Louis, who seems to be doing his best to head for the door.
I ask if the medals are really made of gold, silver and bronze, and he says: 'The gold ones are nine-carat plated and cost £550 to make. The silver ones are silver and cost £250. I think the bronze ones cost about £20!'
'Even so,' he adds, sticking out an obstinate lower lip. 'People forget that gold isn't everything. It's pretty impressive to win silver or even bronze. It does mean something to be the second-best in the world.'
His strong opinions belie his years. Behind his charming farewell smile is steel. Does he feel sorry for hockey player Hannah Macleod and rower Alex Partridge, who had their bronze medals stolen in a London nightclub? 'No. They were idiots,' he says. 'You shouldn't go clubbing with medals.'
He says he is not sure how to take the fact more people probably know him through Strictly than for his Olympic achievements. But he thinks that being on the tour is a 'smart decision', adding: 'Afterwards, I'll be able to say "I've been on tour" — just like a rock star.'
With that he strides off into the snowy afternoon, leaving me looking like a shivering bottle of something sparkly that's gone flat.
As I change back into my usual clothes I reflect on what Fred Astaire once said of Cyd Charisse: 'When you dance with her, you know you've been danced with.'
n The Strictly tour runs until February 10. For details and tickets, see strictlycomedancing live.com or call 0844 875 8758.

The Little Black Gallery Press Release
from 29 October - 7 December 2013
This is the first exhibition of Lichfield's Caribbean images, many unpublished, representing all genres of Lichfield's photography: landscape, portraiture, fashion and nudes.
It follows the internationally acclaimed exhibition Patrick Lichfield: Nudes at The Little Black Gallery in 2012.
Patrick Lichfield (1939-2005) was an internationally renowned photographer who worked for all the major magazines. His pictures were exhibited worldwide, and he published several books during his career. The National Portrait Gallery dedicated a retrospective exhibition to the first twenty years of his work in 2002.
His great break was when he was summoned by Diana Vreeland, the doyenne of fashion editors, to photograph the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and he was given a five year contract with American Vogue. In 1981 he was appointed official photographer at the wedding of his cousin The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer.
Lichfield established a home on Mustique, which he had first visited in the mid-1960s. He spent a considerable amount of time visiting the Caribbean islands and they provided a backdrop for many commissions – Cuba was the unprecedented location for the 1994 Unipart Calendar.

Is it possible to have a flat tummy with Liposculpture only? (photos)
Doctor Answers 10
Flat Abdomen Following Liposculpture
Hi. Thank you for submitting your photos. This helps assess you while not in the office.
Liposculpture is a great procedure. But in your case an Abdominoplasty would be the best procedure to achieve a flatter tummy. Liposcultpure does not help tighten existing lose skin. Liposculpture will help reduce volume in your stubborn areas but it will often times make the skin appear more relaxed.
An Abdominoplasty allows me to remove lose skin & tighten the abdominal muscles at the same time.
I like to add liposculpture while doing an Abdominoplasty because it allows me sculpt the entire surrounding areas.

From your photos, you appear to be a better candidate for a Tummy Tuck with tightening of the muscles. A breast lift will reposition your nipples and reshape your breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance.
Also, best to be a BMI less than 30 or within 10 pounds of your goal weight and stable at that weight for 6 months prior to surgery for optimal results.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.
Best of luck!

Tummy tuck with lipo, some advices:
After having analyzed your question and photos, i realize that you have a very beautiful body, with some sagging skin, fat tissue and several stretch marks...So, we need to rescue that figure!
In this regard, I'm totally agree with you, therefore i recommend you a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.
Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).
kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Last November 16th, I donated hematopoetic stem cells (the stem cells that form bone marrow–adult stem cells) to a man with MDS whose best chance of surviving was a stem cell transplant. I can't believe it's been a whole year now. Last I heard from the program, he was still alive. Now that it's been a year, I have a chance of learning his name, maybe even meeting him!
Back in college, the National Marrow Donor Program did a drive on campus. I have to admit, I was not in a healthy frame of mind when I signed up. I'd found out that my mother was going to die. I was depressed. I wasn't still suicidal at that point, but I was extremely sad. Bone marrow transplants weren't what could save her, but I signed up thinking that death was so horrible and maybe I could save someone. It's actually not a bad way of looking at it—we can't always save the ones we love, but sometimes we can help other people. (It's even easier to sign up now…they just need a cheek swab and can even send you a kit in the mail.)
I didn't think about it much, kept the card in my jewelry box and eventually forgot entirely about it. Fast-forward to Summer of 2009. Out of the blue, I get a phone call saying that I might be the match for someone. Am I still interested? Will I give more blood to confirm? Do I have questions? Can I fill out a bunch of forms?
I took a few days to think about it, read about it online to make sure I knew what everything entailed and decided to go ahead.
After months of back-and-forth and some blood tests to confirm that I was a really truly perfect match (they said something about 20 points of comparison), we scheduled the donation.
The Donation Prep
Donating bone marrow stem cells (PBSC) is a bit different from donating regular bone marrow. Instead of pulling marrow out of a bone, they take the stem cells that create marrow right out of your blood. It gets run through an apheresis machine and the stem cells are collected while the rest gets put back in.
In order to donate, you need far far more bone marrow stem cells in your blood than the average person has. Before donating, you need a series of injections of a drug called Filgrastim (brand name Neupogen) which kicks your body into overdrive producing the stem cells. They don't inject it straight into the blood but put it in where it'll trickle in slowly over the day. Unfortunately, your body's not meant to be producing this many stem cells and other things and therefore it's quite painful in areas with a lot of bone. I had a lot of pain in my arms, legs, and shoulder blades. It wasn't more than I could bear without meds, but it was too much for me to be able to go to work the day after the first shot.
I got injections over the 4 days before the day of donation. Because I live in DC and Georgetown University Hospital is part of the donor program, I was able to do it all here. For people who don't live near a donation hospital, arrangements vary. The NMDP will fund travel, food, and lodging if you need to fly/drive elsewhere, not just for you but also for a companion (which is really important, I couldn't have done this without ProfX).
The hardest part of the preparation was almost entirely unconnected with the donation process. As I mentioned, the Filgrastim/Neupogen causes a lot of bone pain. My plan for Friday – Sunday was pretty much to take painkillers regularly and zone out on the couch. Come Friday, I was already hurting by mid-mornings so I took the day off work after my shot & went home to pop my first painkiller.
Only it turns out I'm violently allergic to Tramadol, the painkiller they gave me. Had we known, I'd have been given something else. I actually ended up in an ER because I was so sick, constantly vomiting, and got dehydrated and started passing out (I'd initially thought maybe I could wait it out). The ER folks had a briefing from my supervising doctor & took great care of me. It's the only time I've been through triage in less than 15 min, and had there not been a stabbing victim ahead of me, it'd have been faster. I spent Friday night-early Saturday morning in the ER, then had a checkup with the donation doctor/nurse to see if I was still well enough to donate.
The worst part was before I got to the ER. Being in the ER wasn't fun, but I felt so much better once I got an anti-nausea med and a liter of saline that I was happy to just lie there.
The checkup on Saturday went well. They gave me a smaller dose of the Filgrastim because they weren't letting me take any painkillers until Sunday, but I checked out ok and I felt like I was still up for it. On Sunday I took oxy-codone, which I'd had before and was exactly what I needed for the pain.
The Day I Donated
I donated on Monday the 16th. Got up very early and headed out to the hospital. They had to do one last blood test to see if I had enough stem cells, make sure nothing was wrong, and then I could donate. The test came back fine, so I got a quick IV test. I really don't like IVs or needles, they make me a bit queasy, but by this point I was desensitized to it. I'd been stabbed a lot that week.
Unfortunately, like many women, I just didn't have the veins for the IV-in, IV-out system. So we went with a central line instead. I was not wild about it but also not going to back out at this point. The doctor convinced me that the neck really is better than the leg (she had very good points, I just felt squicky about my neck) and I got wheeled off to get the line put in.
Then back to the donation room. I got hooked up to the apheresis machine and soon got going. The donation itself was quite smooth. The only hitch I remember was a short period where I was losing too much calcium (a known possible side-effect they'd told me how to look out for), but they had a bag of it on hand and took care of it quickly. Because of the myriad of drugs in my system and the weekend I'd had, I just slept through most of it.
Near the end, I hallucinated faeries dancing around my nether regions and telling me that I couldn't use the bedpan. So I just waited until it was all over to visit the bathroom. Gotta obey the faeries. That was weird, but not bad-weird.
After the donation was over, the courier showed up and they showed me the collection before sending it off with him. It was awesome to think "Wow, my body made that and it's going to go help someone now!"
I felt well enough to celebrate with pizza that night (which the NMDP covered, since there was no way ProfX or I could've cooked anything). I'd saved up enough time to take the week off, so I rested up, went to an Amanda Palmer show Thursday (not my brightest idea, perhaps, but very worth it), aced the GRE Friday, and was back at work the next Monday. It was one of the craziest weeks of my life.
If You're Going to Donate
It's hard to say no when you're aware that you may very well be the only chance this person has at surviving. But donating is a big commitment and it definitely involves some risk. A year later, my experience feels like a good one. At the time, I was mostly exhausted but felt successful.
The doctor/nurse/aid trio at Georgetown made me feel like I was in good hands. They answered my questions, they checked me out rather extensively after my ER visit, they talked with me about my frame of mind, and they told me periodically that I could back out or I could reschedule if I didn't feel I was able to do it right now. I felt like I was their patient, which is how it should be.
I also had a very good experience with my NMDP liaison, who walked me through the 4-5 months before the donation and followed-up with me several times afterward.
The big problem for me was a previously-unknown allergy to a painkiller, which I don't really see as part of the donation process. But if you're donating PBSC I suggest talking with your doctor about the painkillers. If you've taken a heavy-strength one before (I took oxy-codone after a surgery when I was 16), then let them know that it worked for you.
One Year Later
This last year has actually been kind of hellish. I've often felt completely impotent, buffeted by fates and chance and other people. I'm grateful that I can look back and pinpoint somewhere that I was able to make a difference for another person, a lasting difference. I hope that he gets entirely better, but even if I was just able to give him another year or two, I know first-hand what that means to a family.

I worked with her:
Back 16 years ago, and it was her first veterinary job after vet school. She should not be around animals. She had trouble with anesthesia and surgery, among other things and was let go after 6-8 months. I see things haven't changed. Please heed the reviews and do not take your animal there because the rates are cheap. Your pet is not worth it!!

Suzy A.:
Dr. Negrin killed my dog!! He bit his tail after chasing it. He was 7 mos. old. I took him to her and she gave him a total of 4 shots including a pain killer, an antibiotic, an anti-inflammatory shot, and the distemper shot. He vomited that night and was sluggish in the am. I called to ask about the symptoms and was told it is typical for the distemper shot. Two hours later, my dog was dead. She offered no support and claims that my dog had a heart attack. However, he was fine before he went to see her. She should lose her job!

Do not go here.:
This vet does not even deserve one star because on March 30, 2012, our beloved pet and family member passed away due to Dr. Negrin misdiagnosing our dog with a "hurt back." He was given 2 steroid injections for "back pain" that he never needed. She never ran any blood tests or checked his urine. She kept insisting it was just back pain. Our dog lost over 10 pounds since his annual check up with Dr. Negrin in January 2012. She did not see this as a red flag and she simply told us it was because of his back pain. We also told her he was drinking a lot more water than he usually does and, again... you guessed... she told us it was because of the back pain. Finally, we requested that she run a blood test. She said she'd have the results in the next morning. After not hearing anything from her by 11:30 a.m. the next morning, we decided to take him somewhere else. The new veterinarian called Dr. Negrin's office to get our dog's blood results faxed over to them ASAP. To our SHOCK and absolute HORROR, Dr. Negrin NEVER sent the blood vials out to be tested. They were just sitting in her office the entire time. Our dog was sick for months with untreated diabetes which eventually led to his death. By the time we took him somewhere else, it was just too late and his organs were shutting down. We put our blind trust and faith in Dr. Negrin hoping that she knew what was best for our dog and we are left devastated over this. We hope you find this review more than helpful in deciding to take your pet elsewhere.

TLC was an awesome vet to go to when Dr. Negrin didn't work there. Since being there, my dog hasn't gotten the proper care he needs. If she wasn't busy being so self absorbed, maybe my dog could have received the attention he deserves. All she does is gab about her personal life or lack thereof and then demeans her staff when they try to take over and do the correct thing. I have yet to see the same vet tech there, so they must get sick of her nonsense as well and relocate to a responsible veterinarian. I do not suggest this veterinarian to anyone. If you're lonely and miserable like this woman and you need the "small talk" and don't really care what kind of attention your pet is getting, this is the vet for you.

Mississippi River Oil Spill Witness Contradicts Pilot's Account of AccidentOct 23, 2008 | Parker Waichman LLP A witness to the July 23 Mississippi River oil spill testified yesterday that it appeared the improperly licensed pilot at the helm of the towboat Mel Oliver was asleep at the time of the accident. That testimony directly conflicted with that of the pilot, who told the same Coast Guard hearing earlier this week that he was busy fixing the towboat's radar just prior to the spill.
The Mississippi River oil spill occurred when the tanker Tintomara and a barge carrying 419,000 gallons of oil - being towed by the Mel Oliver - collided. The barge split in half, spilling much of its cargo into the river. It is estimated that about 280,000 gallons of oil actually spilled into the Mississippi. The spill was the worst to ever occur on the lower Mississippi River.
On Tuesday, John Bavaret, the pilot operating the Mel Oliver told the hearing that he was filling in for the ship's captain, who had gone ashore to visit his girlfriend. Bavaret did not have the proper license to do so without supervision. Because he was doing double duty, Bavaret testified that he only had time for quick naps on the rare occasions he had down time. However, he said he was busy fixing the Mel Oliver's malfunctioning radar at the time of the collision, and it was only when he heard a warning from the Tintomara that he realized the tanker was heading straight for the barge being towed by the Mel Oliver.
Bavaret said he tried to move the barge out the way, but claimed the Mel Oliver's steering system jammed. Bavaret also claimed that the vessel's wing meter, which is supposed to detect whether the vessel has turned, was also broken. In addition, Bavaret acknowledged ignoring radio transmissions from both Coast Guard personnel and the crew of the Tintomara who were trying to warn the Mel Oliver of the impending danger. According to Bavaret, his radio microphone had fallen to the floor and that he did not want to risk reaching for the device.
But yesterday, a deckhand on another vessel near the Mel Oliver at the time of the collision claimed that it was his belief that the towboat's pilot was asleep when the crash occurred. Brent Ledet, a deckhand on the Judy Ann, said that as his vessel pulled alongside the Mel Oliver right after the collision with the Tintomara, a Mel Oliver deckhand shouted out that he "guessed he (the pilot) fell asleep."
Ledet's testimony also contradicted Bavaret's claims that he tried to steer the Mel Oliver out of the way of the tanker. Ledet said the Mel Oliver slowly drifted from the river's east bank in a beeline across the river without a change in speed and no sign of backwash or smoke coming from the stacks. Those, he said, would have been signs that the pilot was awake and attempting to throw his engine into reverse.
Ledet also said that as the Judy Ann pulled along side the Mel Oliver, he saw the green glow of a radar screen in the towboat's wheelhouse, which would indicate it wasn't broken.
Coast Guard investigators have also said they checked the equipment after the accident and found no problems.

Multaq Heart Risks Prompt Canadian ReviewJul 26, 2011 | Parker Waichman LLP
Multaq, already under scrutiny in the U.S. and Europe because of a link to potentially serious heart side effects, is being reviewed by regulators in Canada. As was the case elsewhere, the Health Canada Multaq review was prompted by the halt of a Multaq study because of a high number of severe heart-related problems among patients taking the drug.
Health Canada says it's evaluating information on Multaq and the potential for an increased risk of problems such as heart attack and stroke. It says it will take regulatory action as needed when the review is complete. That could include updating the labeling information with new safety information, the agency said.
"Health Canada will keep health professionals and the public informed of new safety recommendations coming out of the review as appropriate."
Multaq is approved to treat temporary atrial fibrillation. As we reported previously, the halted Multaq trial, called PALLAS, was evaluating the drug as a treatment for permanent atrial fibrillation. Seventy percent of the 3,149 patients enrolled in PALLAS had permanent atrial fibrillation for over two year. Those taking Multaq had double the risk of death, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations. There were 32 cardiovascular deaths in the Multaq group compared with 14 in the placebo group.
Adverse heart events are just the latest safety problems to be associated with Multaq. In January, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada and regulators in Europe all warned that Multaq had been associated with severe liver injury. When it was approved, the FDA also ordered that Multaq carry a black box warning stating the drug can cause life-threatening, severe complications in patients with recent severe heart failure.
According to the Los Angeles Times, cardiologists from the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said last year that generic alternatives work better than Multaq and that the drug should be considered only when other alternatives don't work.

You can use either Dry Erase or Wet Erase markers.
However, we have found that some dry erase markers may stain the board. So we recommend using ONLY the
Expo Vis-a-Vis Pen Wet Erase. They are use with overhead projectors. It wipes off easily with a damp paper towel
or damp cloth. You can order these directly from us. See the Clap Pen Below.
Besides writing in the name of the Production, Directory, Camera and the Date. You can always use removable vinyl letters and numbers. The ones
we have used are made by Chartpak and are called Pickett Design Vinyl Numbers/Letters Stickers, 3/4", Black. You can get them in other sized, but
the 3/4 inch ones fit the best.

Joanne Gillies' Right to Live: Hard Times and Love on YouTube
Mike Mosher
The Michigan Nature Association sponsored a workday in March, 2012 to help remove invasive Autumn Olive plants from the Rizor Sanctuary near Partialville, Michigan. The Sanctuary (for rare wild flowers, painted turtles, etc.) was named for naturalist Lyle Rizor (1920-2007) and his wife Mary, my creative friend Joanne's father and mother.She writes,
I re-inspired my Dad to nature by being in the hiking club SpinDrift Girl Scouts, and then he bought a little piece of woods in the middle of the woods...and he put away the shotguns, and deer rifles, and spent more time with his cameras....
My mom and dad and I were like a three fold cord. We did a lot of hiking, and tree planting, and watering, and seeking out wildflowers together. I think the love of nature was a gift that we gave back and forth to each other. When I was very little, I followed Dad like a shadow doing gardening, and planting trees, grass cutting, and even fire wood and tending the fire in the fireplace in the house. Then when I was a teenager, my attitudes and values persuaded him that he needed to spend more time in boots, slacks and flannel shirts with the camera, than in the hard shiny shoes and suits he wore to work.
When a sophomore at Ann Arbor Pioneer High, she lived in a big rambling and messy house, with her parents and plenty of siblings, on then-rural south Main Street that has since been replaced by apartments. The Saturday in October, 1970, when I visited, it felt relaxed and lived in, piles of stuff around, shaggy year-round-outdoor dogs yowling in the back yard. Joanne was friends with an older man down the street, a friend of songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, who taught her piano, and she played a beautiful rendition of "Like a Bridge Over Troubled Waters" that melted the heart of everybody's mom.
She liked me in 10th grade, I liked her too, and she used to draw ornate crayon drawings during classes that she'd give to me in our mid-day romantic interludes. It was one of those yearning, intense, straining unconsummated affairs before teenagers start really doing it, and I hope I'm not being ungentlemanly to say she was a terrific kisser. We would huddle on the stairs to the second floor entrance to the school auditorium, pressed close until the crew-cut campus cop quietly asked us to leave.
Joanne Rizor moved 28 miles from Ann Arbor to Hartland while still in high school, and I lost touch with her. She graduated from Hartland High School in 1973, attended Bible college for a year, and soon married a Canadian guy named Gillies. And in the end, Facebook puts everybody in touch with everybody whether they like it or not, but I was delighted to hunt her down about a year ago. Joanne Rizor Gillies now lives in Kaministiquia, Ontario. Perhaps her father's appreciation of nature inspires her own in this locale.
She's done a lot of living, the mother of twelve children, who raised the last eight kids by herself. She's written songs of her life, sung over a few chords strummed on guitar. It's a plaintive, old-school folk music style, reminiscent of Joan Baez or Judy Collins or even earlier mountain country models. She has posted videos of her original songs on YouTube. which you can find by searching "joaohnna13" (note eccentric spelling).
"You Have the Right to Remain Silent" (2007-2008) cuts close to the bone, unspooling emotions, especially pain, sung clearly in the clear light of day. This woman came into her voice after a lot of life and suffering, bitterly but assertively proclaiming "I think I have a right to live." She sings a ballad of the adventurous family with seven children piled into a car on a quixotic trip to New York in "Proverbial Words", and babies keep coming until Gillies gives her the boot.
One deep motif in her life is her appreciation of John Lennon and his message of peace, and how John lived it in his respect for, and cooperation with, his wife Yoko. The nearly 22 minute song "I Love You John/Change the World" is accompanied by a pen drawing she made, entitled "Changing the World", that gradually changes colors, patterns, stripes. John is drawn carrying laundry, a task he performed the last five years of his life when he was a househusband and the banker's daughter Yoko handled the family business of music royalties.
Joanne looks into the camera to narrate "Mom of 12", a multi-part spoken word odyssey, harrowing stories of her creepy stoner ex-husband's rock star desires, and their shared intense interest in Lennon, her stressful times of medical problems and an unheated house.
It's not entertainment as much as it is art, and maybe a feminist statement much like Mary J. Blige's testaments to survival. More people should know and listen to Joanne Gillies, for the hard-won women's wisdom of a tender songwriter.

If you have never used a pet sitting service before, then you are in for a pleasant surprise! Most pet owners do not like leaving their pets at a boarding facility, no matter how great the facility is. However, there are some cases where some pets would do better at a boarding facility because of a medical or behavior problem, but most pets would probably love the chance to stay home instead of going to a strange and noisy place.
Many times pets get a little stressed out and confused when they are dropped off at a kennel. They are not in their own environment so they get scared, confused and worried. If you have ever used a boarding facility before, have you ever noticed that it takes your pets a few days to settle down and get back into their normal routine? Well, Carolina Pet Sitters is here to help those pet owners so their fur-babies can stay home.
We realize that pets are a very important part of today's family unit. They are definitely a huge part of our family. We have two children of our own, Hannah and Harrison, but we also have threeo fur-babies--Darby, Tinky and Lucy. They are not just our dogs...we love them dearly!!

The Tale of Aramis and Christelle
By: Raven in Red
Athos had a wife at one point, D'Artagnan has Anne, and Porthos has all his favorite women, but what about Aramis? Why doesn't he have someone to love? Meet Christelle, who follows the Four Musketeers through the events of The Man in the Iron Mask.
Chapter Eight
Philippe was taken to the palace while Christelle was locked away in the Bastille. She gave up trying to fight. It was hopeless. She was going to die in prison without ever seeing Aramis again. She wept bitter tears, wanting only to be able to apologize for the pain she had put him through.
All night, Christelle sat alone in her dark, windowless cell, her clothes getting dirtier by the second. Soon she felt just like all the other prisoners, dirty and without hope. Eventually, she had cried all her tears away and could only sit in silence. No one was there to comfort her or offer her a small shred of hope.
Then, the next morning, she received a miracle. Someone came to her cell, probably to bring her meal, but she saw that it was D'Artagnan. He unlocked the door and walked in. He looked sad while she looked angry.
"Why are you here?" she asked calmly.
"I am here to make right the wrongs I have committed against you," D'Artagnan sighed. He reached out and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder.
"If you're here to free me, I refuse to go," Christelle said bitterly.
"Christelle…" he sighed, "I am only trying to help you and Philippe."
"You serve the king," Christelle sighed as well. "You have sworn an oath of honor which can never be broken. I get it."
"I will return for you before midnight," said D'Artagnan in a stubborn tone as he prepared to leave. "And I will get a message to the others."
"Wait!" Christelle stopped him. "Thank you." She reached out and gave her friend a hug. "And I'm sorry."
"I will be back," D'Artagnan promised. "And you will see Aramis again."
"Oh, thank you!" Christelle hugged him one more time before he finally left. Once the door was shut, she knelt down and clasped her hands together in prayer. "Thank you, God, for this great miracle!" All day, she thought of nothing but Aramis and how she would actually be able to see him again.
Finally, after many long and lonely hours, D'Artagnan finally returned. He supplied Christelle with the uniform worn by the Bastille guards so that she would not be discovered. He then stationed her by one of the main entrances, where she waited for the others.
Just before midnight, she heard a knock at the main doorway. She opened the hatch and peered out.
"Open up! We have a prisoner!"
Recognizing the voice as that of Porthos, she smiled and took the slip of paper he passed through the gap to her. She then opened the door and allowed them to pass. She noticed that they were all in their old black Musketeer uniforms. Athos was covered with a shabby blanket to make him look like a prisoner. For a brief moment, Christelle locked eyes with Aramis, who smiled gratefully but said nothing. He made the others aware of her presence.
"Bring him down to level three," Christelle ordered in a deep voice, trying to sound like a guard. "The captain will see to the document."
Once they were all safely down in one of the corridors, Athos cast away the blanket, revealing his own uniform. Aramis approached Christelle.
"Are you alright, my dear?" he asked gently. Christelle nodded and accepted a kiss from him.
"It worked!" Porthos sighed with relief.
"Well, it's a prison. Of course there's no trouble getting in. The problems will come when we want to get out," Athos said, just before they were all forced to hide. A line of guards jogged past, probably indicating the changing of the guard. A bell started to ring.
"It's midnight! We have ten minutes!" Aramis whispered, leading them down a hallway. They reached the lowermost level. "Down there," he gestured toward a door. They approached a guard sitting at a small table. With a single punch, he was unconscious on the floor. While Christelle kept watch, the others began rifling through his pockets, looking for the key to Philippe's cell.
"Is this what you're looking for?" someone asked. They all turned toward the cell to see a Royal Musketeer, dangling the key in question from his finger. He stepped back into the cell.
"The key," Athos drew his pistol.
"No," the Musketeer refused. "Remember this?" he gestured at Philippe. "You look so sad. There's nothing left of him anyway, just a sniveling, drooling-" He was cut off by Philippe, who knocked him out with a hard strike from the mask.
"I knew you would come for me!" he said gratefully.
"We feared the mask would destroy you," Athos sighed.
"I wear the mask," declared Philippe, "It does not wear me!" With that, the door was unlocked and Philippe was led out. The group then retraced their steps through the prison, eventually coming face-to-face with D'Artagnan, their swords drawn at him.

Vanadium Oxide Anions Clusters: Their Abundances, Structures and Reactions with SO₂
Wyrwas, Richard Ben, Jr.
MetadataShow full item record
Early transition metal oxide clusters have been a focus of study for several years. The production of vanadium oxide cluster anions in a pulsed helium flow reactor provides a relatively precise way of introducing defect sites and controlling the oxidation state of the vanadium atoms. The composition of the clusters can be changed from the V2O5 stoichiometry, where the vanadium atom is in a +5 oxidation state, to more reduced stoichiometries yielding a mixture of oxidation states containing atoms in the +2 oxidation state. The subsequent addition of reactant gases such as H2O and SO2 yields very intense adsorption reactions as well as a demonstration of the robustness of particular defect free clusters. For example, the cluster has been identified as a defect free cluster where all vanadium atoms are in the +5 oxidation state and all oxygen atoms are predicted to be in the 2- state. The cluster has been shown to not adsorb SO2- while clusters in a reduced oxidation state, such as and readily adsorb one or more SO2 molecules. The adsorption process has been shown to be size dependent, with the smallest monovanadium oxide anions being the most reactive.

Release Notes: Most of the core has been rewritten and cleaned up. Dynamically loadable worker modules were added. The rules parser was rewritten. Initial coldplug support was added. Event processing was made faster.
Release Notes: This release uses signals to handle children (implies cleanup in the event loop). It has separate info and debugging output. There are minor cleanups.
Release Notes: Support for 2.4 hotplug was actively started. A 2.4 coldplug binary, hotplug2-coldplug-2.4, was added. A generate_alias utility was added to create modaliases out of busmaps. hotplug2-dnode was added to convert /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug events into uevents. hotplug2-modwrap was added for modutils. In dumb mode, the program detects whether to use /sbin/modprobe or /sbin/hotplug2-modwrap. This can be overridden using --set-modprobe-cmd. The "setenv" action was added in rules. The --set-coldplug-cmd parameter was added. --udevtrigger was renamed to --coldplug. Comments in rules file are supported.

Nectar FAQs
Q: What's the difference between Sucrose, Dextrose and Fructose?
A: Hummingbird nectars mixed with Sucrose deliver energy quicker to hummingbirds because sucrose is digested faster by the birds. Dextrose and Fructose, which are often used by other companies in their hummingbird nectar, fail to mimic the key properties of the natural flower nectar that serves as fuel for hummingbirds. Quite simply, nectar mixes based on dextrose and fructose will not convert to energy as efficiently as Perky-Pet's 100% sucrose formula.
Q: Why buy nectar concentrate?
A: Perky-Pet offers a variety of choices for people looking to buy hummingbird food. You can by pre-mixed, ready-to-use liquid hummingbird food. You can also purchase packets of powdered mix. Concentrate is great because it's easy to store—just put the resealed jug underneath the sink—and doesn't require much mixing. Just pour one-part concentrate in with three-parts water, stir a few times and you're set to fill your feeder.
Q: How do I keep my feeder from spilling?
A: First off, we advise you to carefully read the instructions that came with your feeder and check YouTube for instructional videos. Also be aware that there are top-fill and bottom-fill feeders, so there are some differences in how to fill both kinds without spilling any nectar. But you want practical advice, right? Here you go: We usually hold our feeders by their hanging hooks rather than the body of the feeder. Holding them by their hanging hooks lets gravity keep them level, and that keeps them from spilling.

2009 Toyota Venza - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Vehicle2009 Toyota Venza 4dr Wagon (2.7L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewRecently I purchased a 2009 Venza (base 4-cly).
I am having issues with a knocking feel and steering column rattle noise.
Toyota gave me the TSB for a Steering Column Rattle Noise, T-SB-0005-11, and said my Venza is one month out of the Toyota 3yr basic warranty.
The dealership will charge $1,333.68 for parts and $243.53 for labor to address this issue.
This is the second time that I bought a Toyota with a steering column and warranty issue (the first time was a 2006 Camry, Intermediate Steering Column TSB ST001-06).
There will NOT be a third time for Toyota to do this to me.
I will go back to driving Hondas.
Best FeaturesTaller ride than a Camry
Worst FeaturesToyota has numerous issues with steering column problems according to the posts within this website at around the 20,000 mileage mark. If the Toyota is a Certified Pre-Owned, Toyota needs to fix that issue at no additional cost to it's owner, and if that Toyota is 1 month out of the Basic Toyota warranty, as mine is, they need to take resposibility for the defective parts and replace it. Toyota is not taking care of their loyal customers. If you are a Toyota owner experiencing these same steering column issues, please notify Toyota: 1-800-331-4331 Toyota Motor Sales USA National Customer Relations 19001 South Western Avenue Department WC-10 Torrance, California 90501

Here's another one ! My 2009 Venza ( 20,000 miles ) is driving me crazy with the (now) well known steering column rattle problem...who has a $1000.00 ++ to blow on a repair for a rattle ??? Toyota, you gotta be kidding me with this ridiculous repair ! Its sad when Toyota can't man up and fix their mistake! I'm a loyal customer ( at least 10+ new Toyota's ! ) over the years and I bought Toyota for a reason...quality ...I guess everything changes eventually. After 30 years of owning Toyota I'm thinking about a new history with Honda. Bruce in Pa.Report it
