Heartworm Treatment For Boxer Dogs
Heartworm disease is caused by the parasitic roundworm Dirofilaria immitis that live in the arteries of the lungs and right side of the heart of dogs, which are considered the definitive host for heartworms. Heartworms can also affect cats, other mammal species and to a rare extent, humans. Dogs and cats of any age regardless of the breed are highly susceptible to Heartworm infection.
Heartworm infections have received in-depth studies on canines since this is a very important disease condition in dogs. Many cats may have died due to heartworm disease, but because of the absence of clinical signs and definitive diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of the heartworm in cats.
Transmission of Heartworm infection occurs when infective larvae of Dirofilaria immitis is carried by a mosquito which passes on the infection each time that it bites a dog. The infective larvae then grow and migrate in the body over a period of several months and until they develop to become sexually mature male and female worms. These adult heartworms are usually found lodged in the right side of the heart and the arteries of the lungs. Mating gives rise to offspring which are released into the bloodstream.
Unlike dogs, the adult heartworms do not give birth to microfilaria in cats. Thus cats are infected from a mosquito which has fed from an infected dog. Since the body of the cat treats the presence of heartworm as foreign, the body may form cysts in the brain, liver, kidneys and other vital organs to stop the invasion of the heartworm. This is the reason why cats with Heartworms do not show definitive signs indicative of the disease condition. Cats may exhibit certain signs associated with a defect in the nervous system such as circling and seizures. They may also have liver and kidney failures, or sudden explained death. But in dogs, the main sign associated with Heartworm disease is a slow progressing heart failure.
Tests to Detect Heartworms:
Diagnostic tests for Heartworms are made by extracting and examining blood of the patient.
Occult Heartworm Test. This is a serological test where blood is processed with a Heartworm detection kit to detect antibodies to the adult heartworms. This is the latest test used for Heartworm diagnosis since it is more sensitive for detecting the presence of adult worms in the heart. Microfilaria Test. An old method of Heartworm diagnosis and it is used to detect microfilaria present in the blood. The problem with this method is the possibility of yielding false negative results in situations where the adults are not producing microfilaria especially with an all male or all female heartworm infections. The time of blood extraction is also a contributing factor in the outcome of the test because microfilaria do not circulate in the bloodstream during the day hours. Aside from the above tests, x-rays, angiography and echocardiography (ultrasound) can also help detect the presence of Heartworm infection in both dogs and cats.
Modes of Treatment of Heartworm Infection
Veterinarians often give a poor prognosis for cats found to be positive for Heartworms. Treatment in cats has been observed to reach a 70% treatment fatality rate. This adverse outcome is due to the apparent sensitivity of cats to the drugs that are used to treat Heartworm. The line of treatment which has been successful in dogs cannot be used in cats for the reason that cats tend to form blood clots that can plug blood vessels thereby killing the patient. Approximately 70% of cats have been found to die during the treatment process.
At present, there are no Heartworm medications in the United States approved for the treatment of Heartworm infections in cats.
In cats, the best line of treatment would be to go for symptomatic and supportive treatment—such as intravenous fluids, oxygen therapy, cage confinement, bronchodilators, cardiovascular drugs, antibiotics and proper nursing care—the adult heartworm will die in two or three years time within the cat's body, thus losing the foreign body. When x-rays reveal lung disease, small tapering doses of prednisone is often prescribed. This favorable development will only occur if there is no further infection from infected mosquitoes.
Surgical removal of Heartworms can also be done with the visualization provided by ultrasound of the tricuspid valve or in the right atrium.
Heartworm treatment in dogs is often very risky and expensive. Although the serological test can tell us whether there is the presence or absence of Heartworm, it does not give the amount or quantity of adult heartworms present.
When a dog suspected to be harboring Heartworms is brought to the veterinarian, there will be many tests to be performed before a line of treatment can be formulated. Blood tests and x-rays have to be performed. If the tests come out positive, then a drug is given through the intravenous or intramuscular route for two days to slowly but surely kill the adult heartworms. Slowly, because sudden killing of all adult heartworms at a single time can result in these dead worm blocking smaller blood vessels causing the death of the patient.
But if the worms will be slowly killed, then the body's macrophages, the body's defensive cells, will have time to reduce and engulf the remains of the adult worms.
This treatment procedure is done when the dog is still confined in the hospital so that the veterinarian can keep an eye on him and can readily detect any adverse reaction to the treatment.
After two days, the dog is ready to go home, but with orders to keep him calm for the next six weeks or so. Exciting him would increase the heart rate sending worm debris into small blood vessels which can still result in the death of your dog. At this time, the owner should be vigilant in observing signs of pneumonia brought about by the death of worms in the lungs. They should readily report any signs of pneumonia so that the dog can be given antibiotics and supportive care.
After six weeks, you bring back your dog to the veterinarian for microfilaria treatment. This is an oral medication and you can bring your dog back to your home.
After two weeks, a microfilaria check will have to be conducted again. The presence of microfilaria will reveal the presence of adult Heartworms and the long process must start all over again. Bit these situations happen only once in a while.
Prevention is still the best course of action to consider. If you live in an area infested by mosquitoes, then your dogs and cats should be taking heartworm preventative.
You can choose from two types of heartworm preventative medications—daily or monthly. The purpose of these heartworm preventative medications is to kill any migrating larvae in the body which is heading towards the heart. There has been no heartworm preventative which has been made to kill adult worms in the heart.

Khamenei: Western idea to limit Iranian missile power 'stupid'
Negotiations between Iran and the West are progressing, with some believing that a final deal on Iran's nuclear status can be reached in the coming months. (photo courtesy: aei-ideas.org)
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Western expectation that the Islamic Republic limit its missile power is a "stupid" idea.
Ayatollah Khamenei, who made the remarks on Sunday during a visit to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Forces' Central Command, was reacting to a request made by world powers currently engaged in nuclear talks with Iran.
"They (the West) expect limits to Iran's missile program while persistently threatening Iran with military [action]. Therefore, such an expectation is stupid and foolish," Khamenei said.
"The arrogant front is making efforts to bring the Iranian nation to its knees and force it into retreat, but it will definitely not achieve this goal," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
Khamenei reaffirmed his support for "negotiations and initiatives in foreign policy" but said that "such issues as sanctions should not be tied to negotiations."
"The officials must resolve the issue of sanctions in another way," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The exhibition Ayatollah Khamenei was visiting had put on display the achievements of the IRGC Aerospace Forces in the design and development of drones, radars and defense systems as well as anti-ship, ballistic and anti-shield missile systems.
"The most important lesson of this exhibition is the proof of the talent and capability of the Iranian nation for entry into difficult fields and the fields from which the enemy intends to bar them (the Iranians)," Khamenei said.

To me this is comfort in a bottle. A warm and cozy milky vanilla with the musk lingering in the background keeping it a tad powdery.
This is not a scent I usually wear out, it's too intimate and I like to keep it for myself and my loved ones. It's one of my favorite bedtime scents.
(Review for EdP made in Oct 2014).
I want this fragrance purely because it's named directly from lyrics in a Blondie song - I think at this point in my collection, that's enough of a reason to warrant purchasing something!
Mounds of dust, powdery, chalky, cold vanilla. I see the word ethereal thrown around everywhere but this time I really have to say it, ethereal!
This is other worldly, it makes me think of a pale blue ghost in an empty attic, sitting in a rocking chair, looking up at the moon. There is something oddly melancholic about it, but the fragrance is so sweet. I've never heard of white amber before, but this definitely isn't a rich/dark amber so I guess it fits.
Soothing crystalline musk mixed with creamy vanilla and freshly baked bread. A hug in fragrance form.
A quiet lullaby. This fragrance is equally airy and earthy to me. It has a dreamlike quality to it that seems to encourage me to relax and peel away the layers of the day, and I feel less and less like punching someone the longer I wear it. ;) So far my favourite to dab on the nape of my neck before bedtime.
I own the perfume oil, and this lingers beautifully. A definite re-purchase!
This smells pleasant enough, but I found it a bit boring and it gives me a headache. I'm a perfume newbie though, so I suspect I might be sensitive to certain kinds of musks. I also had hope it would be a warmer, milkier fragrance, but it's definitely more cool.
This smells like the top of a baby's head. It is lightly sweet and innocent. Definite notes of powder and vanilla. I use this as a linen spray on my sheets because it is the scent equivalent of sweet dreams. If I was to wear it on it's own I would probably layer it with something as it is a little simple.
Creamy, sweet and comforting, but not sugary. The ambery drydown makes it sexier than it seems at first, creating a very grown-up gourmand.
Warm, creamy and beautifully delicate, not too sweet or musky. The Fragrantica description is very accurate. It's a nice skin scent on me. I ordered at least $100's worth of samples and this is one of the few I'd buy a full bottle of.
Love's True Bluish Light is a fine example of what Ava Luxe does so well; milky, soft and powdery vanillas. I find this fragrance a little similar to Angel Face by the same house, however it's not a complete replicate.
The composition opens with a delicate vanilla milky-ness. To be honest, Love's True Bluish Light is fairly linear. After having worn this fragrance for nearly three hours, there hasn't been much of a development since the opening.
I'm really enjoying the softness that this fragrance brings. It's soothing in a creamy and sensual way. It's thankfully not too sweet on my skin, but I can't say that I find it particularly gourmand like others do. An oriental vanilla classifies it well for me.
I'm not usually a fan of mellow scents, but in this case, as the same with Angel Face, the subtlety is pleasing. I feel especially cuddly when wearing Love's True Bluish Light.
It's not a complex scent, but the simplicity works in a way that I wouldn't want it to be altered in any fashion. I like having a scent in my wardrobe that sits amongst the loud and violent aromas to greet me with gentle thoughts and harmonious delicacy.
Surprisingly Love's True Bluish Light lasts relatively well on my skin, but be warned that the sillage is very intimate. Occasionally I am asnomic to musk, so this fragrance will greet my nose when it feels up to it.
Love's True Bluish Light
I bought this mainly because I love the name. It sounded lovely but I wondered if it might be too "foody" for me. Well,
Yes, this is gourmand, it is vanilla and it is rich and creamy. But I have to say, it is the most beautiful foody gourmand I've come across, and far from being heavy or cloying or too sweet. As it gets down to the base, it takes on a nice musky quality that balances out the sweet creaminess.
This is a nuzzler, for sure. It should definitely be on every gourmand lover's list. It's the epitome of the perfect gourmand for me, since I don't care for the very sweet scents.
To say that anything whatsoever containing black musk is "pretty" is an act of courage for me, since I am, alas!, hyperosmic to it.
But Love's True Bluish Light is really, really so incredibly well blended that I love it, and would recommend it to anyone who can wrap their senses around a gourmand - a sort of spicey creme caramel/flan musky mad little thing - that is a little more grown up, a lot different and rather fetchingly daring.
Love's True Bluish Light is beautifully made, a sweet musky pretty thing that is creamy and sexy yet not overtly edible.Its a veritable compliment magnet, not to mention a real wrist sniffer, AND its niche but super affordable.
An 8.5 out of 10 for lasting power and sillage, but a 10 out of 10 for the genius of the perfumer's blending of black musk in a gourmand composition.
Truly an amazing feat: To blend notes of vanilla, musk and creams and not emerge with something sickly sweet. This is pure heaven--really, like a minerally-sheer but tenacious fluff of clouds, cream and musk that just swirls and swells around you, growing more complex and chiffon-like as it warms on the skin. The vanilla is vanilla-pod rich and the milky notes are subtle enough to resemble a dash of warm cream, rather than a milkshake. There's also something cool, strangely sweet but astringent running throughout, that I swear is a hint of blue chamomile, but maybe my mind is being persuaded by the fragrance name and packaging. Anyhow, this is a creamy, sheer, smooth blend of vanilla and musks that's far more complex than it initially lets on. It's only subtly sweet and I imagine only those who like no sweetness, whatsoever, in their fragrances would object to "Love's True Bluish Light". It has a sheer muskiness to it that's more in the direction of almond-musk blends, like "Lea by Lea St. Barths", than any heavy gourmands. Very well done.

Mojo Bicycle Cafe. Genius.
Bikes ‹and a full-on bike service/shop area› coffee and cute boys ‹ok and girls too :)›. Super.
Also been there when some drumming, music and performances go on late at night, which is the spot to be.
The cafe has a good selection of sandwiches, good local coffee ‹from Sonoma county: Ecco Caffe beans› and drinks. The shop has a good selection of Swobo, planet tool stuff, color rims for the cool kids and tons of other goodies. I'm eyeing a super cute helmet that I think I'm gonna be getting pretty soon. Matches with some shoes of mine. mmmhhh...
The only thing that threw me off a bit was that there was no bike rack adjacent/in front of it. Maybe they are working on that ‹?› There are a few bike racks within the block though.

I posted this on my ride report, but I figured I would do a little repost here in the equipment section because I am now a huge fan of Motoport Kevlar mesh riding gear. There might be gear out there that is of equivalent quality and protection, but so far, I havent seen any better protective gear on the market. Long story short, I was on my KTM 990 and went down on Mex 1 at 70 mph. I slid and tumbled over at least 200 feet on the rough asphalt and came out unscathed. What amazed me most is how the kevlar had a few scars, but was still in good enough shape not to warrant a replacement, just new sleeve zippers and couple of patches here and there. The jacket is the Kevlar Air Mesh II with Quad armor. The pants are stretch kevlar street jeans, also with quad armor. The quad armor is a bit bulkier than the tri armor, but I feel the advantages well outweigh the disadvantages. I have crashed in this gear several times off road, but this was my first crash test of the Motoport gear on the pavement. The following is a repost from my ride report...... The long straight stretch of Mex 1 south of Chapala was virtually deserted, or so I thought. The moment I hit the pavement my brain kicked into neutral thinking, ah, this is kind of nice to riding on some long straight deserted slab for a change. Butt on the seat for once, and I relaxed. For some miles I was riding behind Miguel. In 6th gear at that speed my RPM's were a little on the low end so the motor was kind of chugging. I decided to bump up the speed to get to a smoother rpm for the motor. In order to do this I had to pass Miguel. Like I said, my brain was in neutral and I was lulled into complacency thinking that we were the only ones on the road as I had not seen another vehicle for miles. I got on the centerline and started to pass Miguel when I felt my rear end get bumped. I immediately knew what happened. There was a vehicle behind me making a pass and I was so brain dead that I didnt even check my mirror. I was instantly down, sliding with the bike for what seemed like an eternity. But in real time I separated from the bike immediately, then continued to slide down the pavement head first, on my back before I started to tumble. I was told that I tumbled around 10 times but I dont remember it. All I remember is that when I started to tumble I instinctively brought my hands and arms into my chest. When I stopped I was lying in the middle of the road and my only thought was to crawl to the side and get off the highway. After that I was simply lying there with my eyes closed taking stock of my condition. I can wiggle my toes. Good. I can move my fingers, good. But damn, I dont feel any pain, I must be really messed up. Am I alive? After a few seconds I cracked one eye open to see the guys standing above me. I looked at Miguel with one eye open and said, "I think I'm OK." Then I got up, started to walk around and realized that not only was I unhurt, but I had zero road rash, not even so much as a scratch on me. Only three words are necessary: Motoport Kevlar Mesh. We loaded up the bike into the Dodge Ram and headed for the closest, town, Guererro Negro. My handle bars were broken in two so Ramon (the driver of the truck) took me to a welder and got the bars put back together. We then went to the Malarrimo Hotel, took stock of the situation, and decided to further evaluate the bike the next day. The bike was still rideable but needed some patching up. It fared surprisingly well because it simply slid on its right side and never tumbled, and never hit anything. CJracer will be mighty proud of how well his clutch cover held up in the crash. It took me most of the day to get the bike back in shape to ride any distance. I could have made it to the KTM dealer in Guadalajara or Chihuahua in a weeks time, but that didnt make much sense since I was only a long days pavement ride from San Diego. The only casualties of the day: My pride shredded backpack burst camelbak handlebars right mirror broken support frame under the headlight mask headlight mask dashboard mount throttle cables hand guards one bent fork cracked lower triple clamp at one of the pinch bolts throttle lock right tank and tank guard bent subframe bent luggage rack helmet scuffed up riding gear And finally, the front bumper of Ramon's truck. The following day I rode the bike to San Qunitin, then the next day home to San Diego. Parts and gear have been ordered and should be here next week. I fully anticipate to be back on the road in under two weeks. That aint so bad I think. I'm a lucky bastard. Hopfully I have gotten the crashing out of my system for a while. Dios quiere...... The Motoport Kevlar Mesh jacket is an amazing piece of gear. I got mine with the quad armor in it as well. I dropped the jacket off at Motoport and they are going to put a couple of patches on it, then fix a couple of the zippers on the sleeves that had broken in the crash. This is what Motoport gear looks like after being tested sliding and tumbling across rough ass Mexican asphalt at 70 mph. They now have a very loyal fan of their gear. This kevlar is amazingly tough stuff. Incredible actually. On top of that NONE of the stitching blew out either. The pants had a pretty good abrasion in only one area, but it didnt even go down to the inner liner. The jacket, well I think the way it looks after a crash like this is nothing short of staggering. Funny thing is that I was kind of wavering about spending 400 bucks on just an armored jacket as there are many cheaper option out there, but none nearly as good. The Quad armor pants were another 300 bucks, but well worth it. Very cheap insurance if you ask me. I am now a very loyal customer of Motoport.
First off sorry for your crash... But you know why you did crash, so it's all good here... Second, thanks for taking the time to post this in equipment, hopefully more people will wake up and realize that it is worthwhile to wear good gear... C.
Same, bummer about your crash. Glad you are ok. Yesterday I received confirmation from Wayne that my suit is in production and should be shipped to me in a few days. Can't wait.
I'm mainly an off road dirt bike type of guy, so I usually wear MX type gear. However once I got my 990 adventure I knew I would be spending a fair amount of time of pavement, but I had no decent gear that would withstand a high speed slide across the asphalt. After researching different materials and different brands of gear on the internet, and seeing stuff in person like Aerostitch, Roadcrafter, BMW, etc. I was just more confused about what gear to buy. The polyester mesh crap that you see on the racks in many bike shops (not mentioning any brands) was out. No way I wanted that stuff melted into my road rashed skin. High quality expensive race leathers would be decent protection from road abrasion, but they just dont breath at all for my purposes, and the armor in them was lacking IMO. So i came on the equipment forum and looked at threads about the Motoport stuff. I had never heard of them before since they are such a small operation. I saw the pictures of the gear and was interested, but I dont like to buy stuff that I havent seen in person. Well low and behold I figure out that Motoport is only about a 30 minute drive from where I live. I made an appointment to come by the shop and check things out. its a small manufacturing shop in an industrial park that does everything in house, nothing is farmed out, everything is hand made, and custom made to your specifications for an additional price. Once I was given the nickel tour of the shop and saw the materials used I was impressed. Then Wayne showed me different pieces of gear that had been crashed, Motoport gear and many other brands. After examining many pieces of crashed gear it was immediately apparent that the Motoport Kevlar Mesh held up to road abrasion far better than any other piece of gear I looked at, far better. I saw crashed BMW gear, Aerostitch and Roadcrafter among many other brands like Joe Rocket, Alpinstars, etc. I immediately got fitted for some Motoport gear, it was a no-brainer. Although expensive compared to the bargain gear, it was still cheaper than than quite a few other expensive brands including the BMW branded stuff. The Kevlar mesh flows air incredibly well, even with the full quad armor. Last week I was riding in 115 degree temps and as long as i was moving at least 30 mph, I was as comfortable as I could possibly be in that type of heat. I have had some pretty good off road crashes in the quad armor and was impressed at the protection compared to the MX style gear that I normally wear. The standard tri armor didnt look like anything special to me, but when I saw the quad armor I was convinced that it was probably better than the CE plastic stuff that i had been wearing. Anyway, long story, longer, after last week's crash I will wear nothing but the Motoport kevlar gear. That one little experience has made me a believer in the quality and workmanship of the gear. It is truly staggering how well the gear looked after sliding across the pavement at 70 mph. I dont have so much as a scratch on me, I'm just a little sore from the tumbling that I did after the long slide, thats about it. Just so you folks know, Wayne did not ask me to post anything, I was simply so astounded by my experience with the gear that I had to share it. Sure, I spent close to 900 bucks for the jacket and pants once the cost of my needed custom features were added in, but it was worth every penny and more. I figure that the cost of skin grafts would have been on the order tem times more than the cost of the gear, and thats with my health insurance. Bottom line, top quality gear is the best money you can spend on yourself. Also another thing to note is that just because some gear is expensive, doesnt mean that it is good quality. This Motoport stuff is top notch in my book. Spend the money and dress for the crash because you never know when it will happen to you, and if you ride long enough, it will happen. Of course i was very lucky in the respect that the truck didnt run me over, and I didnt hit anything except the pavement. I dont want to downplay the crash because according to eyewitnesses, it was pretty horrific to watch. It was pretty horrific from my perspective too. However, because the Motoport gear did its job so well, I am unscathed and will hit the road again in a weel or so when I get the bike back together, instead of getting skin grafts in a hospital or nursing broken bones somewhere.
You win the award for most appropriate inmate name! Thanks for the highly valuable report. A crash like this with such a happy ending is a rare thing indeed.
I have the stretch and not the mesh and "only" with tri-armor. Went head first over the bars at around 30-40 MPH or so and landed on my left shoulder and flipped back onto my feet believe it or not. Couldn't believe how well the armor and the gear worked. Had a slight scuff on the shoulder of the jacket and zero rash. My shoulder was slightly bruised, with no gear I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to bounce right up and may have broken my shoulder or collarbone. Everyone who has ever crashed in motoport gear sings it's praises. I'm upgrading to the quad armor this winter. CE, blah blah, Wayne lies, etc etc. Bottom line, the gear is pricey but probably the best out there. Glad to hear you made it thru OK.
Congratulations on an excellent outcome to a potential disaster. Thank you for sharing the detailed accident report. Your gear really did the job in every respect. What were your helmet, gloves, and boots?
Helmet: Shoei Hornet. face shield and beak were gone but my head feels fine. Gloves: Motoport stretch kevlar. Except for some scuffs on the right glove knuckle plastic, they are in great shape. Boots: SIDI Crossfires, non-SRS. If I had been wearing anything less than full MX boots I'm pretty sure I would have broken an ankle or foot. FWIW, I always wear MX boots, even when street riding, you get used to them and they are well worth the protection. I realize it sounds a bit like I'm preaching, but I think the MX boots were key in avoiding an ankle/foot injury.
I can understand not liking the motoport gear for whatever reason but I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it was low quality. To the OP. Thanks for posting this. Since none of the manufactures provide real proof of the crashworthiness of their gear, first hand accounts are about all we've got. I've had my motoport mesh pants for about 3 years. I love them. I'm not crazy about their jackets as I like a close fitting jacket and from the pictures I have seen the jackets look pretty bulky. I have a Rev'it Ignition jacket (mesh/leather) that will hopefully do the job if needed.
Thanks for posting up a review of how everything held up in the crash. Most importantly, I'm glad you'll be OK.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Swimmer, Just a comment on the Motoport fit. I had the Revit Ignition and loved it. Still like the style. Had a 40-50 mph get off and it did okay, but was ripped beyond repair. For a replacement, went to the Motoport Riva to go with the Motoport pants, and to get bit more protection. I know what you mean about some of the bulky examples of the Motoport jacket fit. But you might take a look at the Riva. I find it an even better fit than the Ignition, though not as cool looking.
I'm happy to do it amigo. We are fortunate that we have so many types of gear to choose from, but sometimes, that is the problem. After my experience with my gear, I just thought it was a good thing to share it with you FF's. Hopefully some of you FF's that like to ride around in jeans and T-shirt will think twice about what youre wearing even before you just hop on your scooter to go the grocery store. I had a jacket that was just that poly mesh crap. I gave it to a buddy. Since my crash I told him to throw that jacket directly into the trash. I did not do him any favors by giving him that poly mesh jacket.
I read some article in Motorcyclist about their Kevlar suits not performing well in low-speed crashes, but that was years ago and they've had plenty of time to improve their product since then.
ditto on thanks for the report! I read all the bike magazine tests on gear and most of what they talk about is how it looks .... I understand none of the staff may feel up to actually crash testing it but thats what we really want to know ... is it worth it wearing/bringing all that heavy gear all the time!
Interesting. It sure does hold up well in a high speed crash, thats for sure. Dont really know how a low speed crash could be harder on the gear. You never know about mag reviews though as it seems they always have certain sponsors that they have to keep happy with their reviews.
I've got some oceanfront property here in landlocked TN to sell you. I've crashed in my Motoport pants at less than 30mph multiple times on gravel, rocks, and hardpack dirt. Not a scratch on the pants. Maybe the outcome would've been different if it was smooth pavement.
I think this may be the article you refer to: http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/faqs/2809-abrasion-test-cycle-sept-1988-a.html The Kevlar fabric they tested in 1988 was 100% Kevlar, very different from the modern blends like the Keprotec (the "stretch Kevlar" used by Motoport) or mesh fabrics currently in use. Textile manufacturers learned long ago that most pure Kevlar fabrics were not well suited to motorcycle use. Although the fibers are very strong they have no stretch and break when over stressed. They performed fairly well in some tests and very poorly in others. Blended with nylon and lycra Kevlar is very abrasion and tear resistant.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Arizona Dark Money Group Gave Lavishly To Other Groups
The CPPR, run by former congressional aide Sean Noble, spent $23.2 million in 2011, with $14.8 million given in grants to 19 other nonprofits. Bloomberg has previously reported that the CPPR contributed $55.4 million to other nonprofit political groups in 2009 and 2010.
Among the recipients of the CPPR's largesse in 2011 were the American Future Fund, Concerned Women for America, 60 Plus Association, Free Enterprise America, American Commitment, and the Coalition to Protect Patient Rights (not to be confused with the CPPR itself.) Each of these groups received over $1 million from the CPPR.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, one of the above groups, Free Enterprise America, received $3.6 million from the CPPR, but little is known about Free Enterprise America beyond that fact that it shares an address in Phoenix with the consulting firm DC London, which is run by Noble. Another group, American Commitment, received $1.6 million from CPPR in 2011. In 2012, American Commitment dropped about $1.9 million in outside spending, much of it in support of Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) during his ultimately successful Senate run. American Commitment shares an address in Washington, D.C. with DC London.
Furthermore, the documents obtained by the Center for Responsive Politics show that DC London, along with another Noble consulting firm called Noble & Associates, received $3.1 million from the CPPR in 2011.
TPM readers might be familiar with the CPPR from its role in an $11 million dark money donation in California that was ultimately unmasked by the state's campaign finance watchdog. In early November, California's Fair Political Practices Commission said the money for the donation made by a little-known Arizona group called Americans for Responsible Leadership came from Americans for Job Security, and had been funneled through the CPPR.

David Weekley Homes and Shea Homes found themselves in the company of legendary brand names such as Apple, Cadillac, and Ritz Carlton this week when they became two of 50 brands to receive the J.D. Power and Associates' Customer Service Champion designation.
They were the only home builders that made the list that represents the top 5% of more than 800 brands J.D. Power evaluated for customer service excellence in five areas: people, presentation, price, process, and product.
"Shea and David Weekley did especially well with product, people, and process," said Dale Haines, senior director of the real estate and construction practice for J.D. Power.
J.D. Power pulled new home sale title documents in more than a dozen major home building markets across the country last year and contacted the home purchasers, asking them to fill out an online survey about their customer experiences, said Haines. Power focused on builders who were closing about 150 homes or more in a year.
The results showed a growing spread between the top and bottom performers in the market, Haines said, adding that during tough times companies that consider customer service just one more part of their job, rather than an intrinsic part of who they are, tend to abandon customer service initiatives.
"We are very honored to be part of the list," said Ken McDonald, Weekley's Orlando division president who accepted the award for Weekley on Wednesday evening. "We have always taken J.D. Power seriously and it has always been part of our goal to finish in the top three."
Rather than let customer service languish during the downturn, Weekley worked to improve it. "Every year we continue to raise the bar," said McDonald, adding that a big component of the company's customer service success is the work of its internet sales advisors, who are extremely quick to respond to customers looking on the company's web site. "Ninety percent of our customers start their home shopping there." And they expect quick answers to their question as well as a concierge approach from the internet sales contact, he said.
"We feel that our customers are different today than they were during the boom. Their requirements and characteristics are different."
But all the company's employees are to be credited with the customer service success, he says.
"Number one, it's our people," he said. "We continue to try to recruit the best employees."
Shea appeared on last year's list as well, and customer service is definitely in the DNA of its employees, said Robb Pigg, Shea's vice president of operations.
"I think it's about a cultural commitment to the customer here at Shea," said Pigg. "[Quality customer service] is a promise that we make to those who shop with us and who buy from us. ... We have been able to develop and maintain people who genuinely care about serving people the best they can. They care about the quality of the service that we provide and that spreads and influences the trades who work on our jobs."
Pigg said Shea executives are excited to be included in the list for the second year in a row. "This is especially rewarding to be recognized as a customer service champion. It isn't something you can apply for or that you even know has been undertaken."
Teresa Burney is a senior editor for Builder magazine.

Using Regular Expressions for Search/Replace with eMbedded Visual C++
by Andreas Pohl based on article by Zafir Anjum
on July 31st, 2002
Environment: eMbedded Visual C++ 3
I took the code of Zafir Anjum and tried to compile it with eMbedded Visual C++ to use it on a Windows CE-based device, but it didn't work. So, I changed his code so that it compiles and runs correctly. The code of Zafir Anjum doesn't work with Unicode strings that are standardly used. I did not change this, but basically I changed all TCHAR variables and all generic text routines to their SBCS equivalents. (TCHAR to char and, for example, _tcslen (generic) to strlen (SBCS).)

Zimmermann is a model of efficiency
Righty's 76-pitch complete game puts him in historic company
By Manny Randhawa and Joe Harris / MLB.com
ST. LOUIS -- Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann brought an 18-inning scoreless streak with him when he took the mound in Friday night's series-opener against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. And though he came out on the losing end of a 1-0 pitchers' duel, Zimmermann turned in another masterpiece, allowing three hits in his second complete game of the season.
His scoreless streak ended with Matt Adams' home run in the second inning, but he was on his way to a more impressive feat. He needed only 76 pitches to go the distance, breaking the Nationals' record he set at 85 pitches last season and putting him in some historic company.
In the last 100 years, only nine other pitchers have turned in complete games of eight innings or more with 76 pitches or fewer. Former Orioles right-hander Jose Bautista has the record with a 70-pitch effort in an eight-inning complete game in a September 1988 loss to the Mariners, while former Rockies right-hander Aaron Cook was previously the last to join the group with 74 pitches over nine innings in a win over the Padres on July 25, 2007.
"I had a good fastball again tonight, down in the zone, and the curveball and sliders were there when I wanted them," Zimmermann said. "Really it was one mistake, on a changeup that was down the middle, and he made me pay."
Zimmermann's most trying inning was the second, when he threw 18 pitches, including the changeup he hang to Adams.
Less is more
Pitcher | No. of pitches | Team | Result | Date |
Jose Bautista | 70 | BAL | Vs. SEA, 1-0 loss | 9/3/88 |
Aaron Cook | 74 | COL | Vs. SD, 10-2 win | 7/25/07 |
Carlos Silva | 74 | MIN | Vs. MIL, 7-1 win | 5/20/05 |
Andy Ashby | 75 | SD | Vs. COL, 7-2 win | 7/5/98 |
Bob Tewksbury | 75 | STL | Vs. CIN, 9-1 win | 8/29/90 |
Vic Lombardi | 75 | BRO | Vs. CHC, 4-3 loss | 9/9/47 |
Greg Maddux | 76 | ATL | Vs. CHC, 4-1 win | 7/22/97 |
Bob Hendley | 76 | CHC | Vs. LAD, 1-0 loss | 9/9/65 |

"He's been really good," Washington manager Matt Williams said of Zimmermann. "He hung a changeup to Adams and didn't get that pitch where he wanted to get it. Other than that, he induced some double plays and we played good defense behind him."
Zimmermann required only nine pitches to get through the third, seven for the fourth and five for the fifth. He threw 14 pitches in the sixth before returning to a single-digit pitch count in the seventh, when he threw seven. In his eighth and final frame, he threw five pitches.
"I was throwing a lot of strikes, and they knew that, and they were coming up hacking," Zimmermann said. "I was locating the fastball and I got a lot of ground balls tonight, and those guys behind me played great defense and turned a couple of double plays, which was great."
In all, outside the third and sixth innings, the right-hander threw 44 pitches over seven innings. But Washington's offense couldn't back Zimmermann's stellar performance, getting shut down by his counterpart, St. Louis starter Lance Lynn.
"He threw the ball extremely well," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said of Zimmermann. "We've had a couple good games where we come out against Zimmermann and he's going to be greedy, he's not going to give us much. Good fastball and we know it, and it's one of those that you have trouble catching up with. He was another guy that effectively used his offspeed pitches and made really good pitches once we started getting something going for the double plays."
Lynn shut the Nationals down for eight innings. He was perfect through five, and finished having allowed only two hits, a Jose Lobaton single in the sixth and a Jayson Werth single in the seventh, and no walks.
"I'm sure everybody in here, offensively, will go up and say something to him [Zimmermann] at some point," veteran first baseman LaRoche said. "He understands it, though. ... You need to push a run or two across and you can't do it, and then a guy goes out and does what he did. It's frustrating, but it happens."
Said Lynn: "That's tough. He threw the ball well, he's got good stuff. He's been doing it for years now, where he's going out there throwing the ball well, going deep into games. He did it again tonight. It's crazy how one swing costs you the game."
Zimmermann (5-3) has posted a 0.36 ERA (one earned run in 25 innings) over his last three starts.

It's common to think about education expenses as they relate to fresh faced college students just starting out - but what about the rest of us? Can you deduct the cost of an education when you're not pursuing a degree or certificate for your first career?
You might.
Under some circumstances, you may be able to claim the cost of an education as a business expense. To take the deduction, you must be working (sorry, recent or soon to be college grads); itemize your deductions on Schedule A if you are an employee or file a file a Schedule C, Schedule C-EZ, or Schedule F if you are self-employed, and have qualifying work-related education expenses for education.
To qualify for the deduction, your education must either be required by your employer or the law to keep your present salary, status, or job or your education must help you maintain or improve skills needed in your present job. That said, expenses don't qualify if the education is intended to meet the minimum educational requirements of your present trade or business (meaning to get started), or is intended to qualify you for a new trade or business.
It sounds complicated but think of it this way: if it's a course you have to take (even if leads to a degree) in order to continue to keep your job - or get better at your job - it's generally deductible. This includes continuing education credits and seminars, for example.
You can't deduct the cost of getting your first degree or prepping for your first job (initial bar exam fees, for example, have consistently been found to be not deductible) or the cost of training to switch jobs. While your mother might find it great that you decided to give up the law to become a Master Gardener, the cost of making that jump is not deductible as a business expense - although that cost may qualify for certain educational tax credits, like the Lifetime Learning Credit.
This, of course, brings us to today's giveaway. Deductible or not, paying for an education while working can be tiring. We have a host of giveaways today to help you stay connected with friends and family
First up, we have one netTALK DUO, which is a small, simple digital telephone adapter that provides free HD calls throughout the US and Canada using a regular phone for just $69.95, which includes a full year of service, and just $29.95 for each additional year. The netTALK DUO allows for a dedicated line inside your home or dorm room so long as you have internet access. In June, PC Mag ran ran a rave review, granting it the coveted Editor's Choice Award. And in these cost-cutting days, the netTALK DUO is the perfect way to cut back on Back to School expenses. The netTALK DUO is available via netTALK's website and at WalMart, Amazon, Dell, Buy.com, TigerDirect.com, CompUSA, CircuitCity, and online and instore at P.C. Richard & Son (also available in Canada, eh?).
To keep up with your iPad or Kindle, we have a TuffLuv iPad or Kindle case, the perfect functional and stylish accessory to help students easily adapt to the hustle of campus life. You can choose from a diverse range of materials and styles to wrap the latest devices in - from natural Hemp to animal-free Veggie Leather as well as the striking Moroccan design of the Marrakesh line. Tuff-Luv cases can withstand all of college life's little hazards even those less ordinary, like a fall out of a second floor window.
Next up: a TP-LINK router. With the number of hours that students spend online, they really need a solid and reliable wireless router that will keep them online and without any drops in connection. There are a lot of fancy-looking routers out there, but TP-LINK spends their time on the quality of the Router to ensure that it just plain works. No one wants to keep walking back to the crevices of their home to reboot their router. You will set it up and never have to think about it again. The TP-lINK Ultimate Wireless N Gigabit Router (TL-WR1043ND) is easy to set-up, and will keep you online with a fast, constant connection, so you can do research online, stream music and videos, and -- when you need a break, of course, play online games.
We're also giving away a skin for your laptop and/or phone from Sticky Skins. You can give your cell phone, laptop, iPod, tablet or gaming device a unique look while protecting your investment against slippage, scratches, or other damage. At Sticky Skins, you can choose from top artist designs or customize your own protective skin to turn an everyday cell phone, iPod or laptop into a work of art that reflects your style and tastes to make any device uniquely yours. You'll enjoy beautiful designs, colors, and artistic patterns every time you text, surf the net, or jump into a game. Sticky Skin covers made of high quality vinyl that is digitally printed with vibrant colors that make your device stand out. Sticky Skins fit perfectly on hundreds of devices and are easily removable without leaving any residue. They also work well with your hard cases or carrying bags.
Finally, you can wind down with a set of BodyGuardz Bump series earphones. Bump boasts 16 ohms of sensitivity wrapped in the smallest of the Earjax models.

And don't forget the handy black aluminum tube and lanyard that come inside the package, helping to keep your buds safe and close by.

Butterflies and bees love the tufts of yellow stamens on these vibrant single blooms. The airy blossoms are held on dark stems and seem to float at the middle or front of a border. An especially welcome burst of color in late summer and early fall.
These hybrids of species native from Mexico to Colombia hold their display in reserve for mid- to late summer and early fall, when most gardens and most vases are looking a little tired. Planted in threes and sixes, Dahlias serve to fill holes that develop in the perennial border and make excellent potted plants (1 tuber in a 12″ pot). They prefer full sun, though partial shade is acceptable, and they like rich soil and even moisture. Dahlias are perennial in Zones 8–10. Where they are not hardy, Dahlias are easily overwintered indoors.
For more information on growing Dahlias, click on Growing Guide.
The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the Shipping Details box for each item. Please refer to the Shipping Details box to determine the earliest shipping time. Unless you specify otherwise, fertilizers, tools, and other non-plant items are shipped with your plants or bulbs. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at expected time of delivery.
We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

Dahlias offer flamboyant flowers on lush plants from summer through fall, right up to the first frost. Fully hardy to zone 8, these hybrids of species native to Mexico and Colombia may overwinter in Zone 7 with a thick blanket of mulch. Gardeners in colder zones can get a head start by planting tubers in pots 4 to 6 weeks before the last spring frost date. Plant tubers several inches deep in a light, soilless potting mix and water sparingly until new growth appears, then more freely. Place pots in a sunny window or under grow lights, and then plant outside after danger of frost has passed. Taller varieties will need staking, with stakes placed carefully so as not to injure the tuber or roots. If planting is delayed (either indoors or in the ground), store the tubers in their bags in a cool, dry, dark location.

Often discussed alongside its critically acclaimed and more popular sequel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is generally thought by critics to be artistically a lesser work than Huckleberry Finn. Yet in spite of its shortcomings as a work of art, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has remained popular around the world throughout the more than 120 years since its publication in 1876. Twain himself called this novel his "hymn to boyhood."
About Twain in general, Henry Nash Smith says that "there can be no doubt that Mark Twain was an artist of the people. His fresh handling of the materials and techniques of backwoods storytellers is the clearest example in our history of the adaptation of a folk art to serious literary uses." Walter Blair discusses in his article "Tom Sawyer" the novel's sources, both autobiographical and literary. Twain is widely known to...

After 10 successful years of SomnoGuard® AP, we are pleased to introduce to you the new generation SomnoGuard® AP 2.
The two-part mandibular advancement device against snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea differs mainly by about 2 mm smaller vertical opening of its predecessor. The flatter AP 2 comprises less material, which improves the wearing comfort. In addition, a thicker screw was used, which ensures even more stability and security. Scales on both sides of the rail enable easy reading of mandibular advancement.
SomnoGuard AP 2 is also available in our online shop.
I now use my almost 30 years of experience in the field of diagnosis and therapy of snoring and sleep apnea to develop a new generation of prefabricated oral devices. They are effective, affordable and the perfect first step into an individual therapy.

I was born in the Falkland Islands – my family has been there for several generations. My father was a policeman and my mother worked in the Post Office, but they separated a few years before the war. I was 13 when the conflict started. My father went into the mountains to fight with the Parachute Regiment, a kind of local resistance.
When Argentine soldiers came through Port Stanley, I sometimes bought food for them in the shops because they weren't allowed to. I remember thinking "What the hell is going on? Why is all this happening?" I still think that – it was all so unreal that if you try to rationalise it, you can't.
Before the war my mother was living in Port Stanley too, with an Argentine man. There were a few mixed couples. But after Argentina surrendered, my mother's boyfriend had to leave – the British army turned up and told him he had 20 minutes to say goodbye and then he was put on a ship. Argentines were the enemy.
I married an islander and had a son – he's 20 now and at Bristol university. My wife and I separated, and, in 2000, when I was in Buenos Aires for an exhibition of my work – I'm a painter – I met an Argentine and we later married. We shuttled back and forth between the islands and Argentina, but we split up in about 2008-09 and I ended up back in the islands. I still came to Buenos Aires to visit our children, who are now nine and five. I just wanted to live with the kids, so I began to look into how to get Argentine papers. I had started thinking about what being British was anyway. It wasn't the same as in 1982.
Buenos Aires is my home now. I had some very good friends in the city who were ex-conscripts and they helped me get my papers. The Argentine officials were really surprised and I ended up being presented last year with my National Identity Document by Cristina Fernández, the president. It was a big thing. When people ask where I'm from, I say the Malvinas, not the Falklands. I say I'm Argentine, it's what I am. At the end of the day, I find the whole nationality issue boring because here we still are, coming up to the 30th anniversary of the war, and nothing has changed.
There comes a time when you look at the world, and it's changing, and you have to ask yourself: do you want to be in on that change, or be like my mother and lose everything? If you want to be with the people you love, you just do it – you don't put your country first, you put your family first. My mother asked the [Falklands] governor if her boyfriend could return, but he told her Argentines were never going to be allowed back again.
There's a lot of anger in the islands about what I've done. Sometimes I dream I'm going back and that explains some of the aerial shots of islands and cut-up maps I use in my paintings. The imagery just started to come when I got home after a scholarship to art school in Chelsea. I never intended to paint about the war, although I have timed my new exhibition in Buenos Aires to coincide with the anniversary. Sometimes I incorporate poems and I had been working with T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land for ages before I realised that the first word is "April" – when the war started – and the last words, "Shantih shantih shantih", mean "peace".
My oldest son is quite proud of his home, but I'm not. So much has changed – the arrival of a lot of money from the fishing industry, for a start. I don't like all this oil exploration either. People say, "We're going to be rich," but I tell them, "You're going to have warships patrolling the place for 50 years."
My life has made me realise that you can cross borders, that things aren't black and white. My parents died before I took Argentine citizenship. I don't know if they'd be turning in their graves. But they didn't have Argentine children. I do.

I've gone though a lot of higher end stuff, up to the HE-6. Most of those are on sale or I've traded away, but I'm keeping the PX100-ii.
For the price point, I'm perfectly happy with the little Senn. For me, the more expensive something is, the pickier I become. I have higher expectations of it, then start to listen for technicalities instead of listening to the music. At that point, I'm not really enjoying the music anymore... so what was the point?

Hello world!
I'm Adam Wolf. I make things and think about them. I like to spend time with my wife. We like travelling, taking photos, and reading together Saturday mornings at the coffee shop. I am an improv enthusiast, and you can often find me and my wife sitting in the front row at HUGE Theater.
I make products.
During the day, I work at a engineering design company. I help take ideas and turn them into finished products. I normally use embedded Linux or Android, but I do a lot of other things too.
I help people make stuff.
In 2010, Matthew Beckler and I started Wayne and Layne. Wayne and Layne makes open source hardware kits. Our products are pretty varied, but they're all fun to build, fun to use, and come with detailed explanations of the design. We use Wayne and Layne to teach youth and adults. We work with schools, camps, and workshops to help them craft the DIY experience they want to give.
I can help you make stuff.
Although my day job and Wayne and Layne keeps me busy, I'm sometimes able to freelance. One of my recent projects was an exhibit for kids, currently at Cascade Meadow Wetlands & Environmental Science Center. I worked with Kidzibits, helping plan and then writing all the firmware for this large, interactive exhibit that puts people in charge of power distribution for a small town.
I write.
I'm one of three authors of Make: LEGO and Arduino Projects: Projects for extending MINDSTORMS NXT with open-source electronics. It's published by O'Reilly, in the Make line. It's available in stores and online.
I read.
I love to read, especially science fiction and young adult novels. My wife is an elementary school teacher, so I have a good excuse for the YA. I normally read between 75 and 125 novels a year. I really enjoy discussing the novels I've read.
I enjoy improv.
Minneapolis has a really great improv scene. I go out of my way to see Show X every Monday night at HUGE Theater, and Splendid Things when they play. I try to see improv when traveling. The more I do, the more I realize how great we have it in Minneapolis!
