Lately something every Chargers fan wants to talk about is the front office and GM A.J. Smith. The Chargers front office has a certain way of going about there business like every team in the NFL does. Some of the Chargers fans are unhappy with the way things have been run around here. For me, I believe in every decision A.J. Smith and the management makes. The Chargers go where ever A.J. Smith takes them. It is A.J.'s way or the highway and that is the way the Chargers have chosen to run the franchise. The Spanos family own the team and they trust A.J. Smith to make the decisions. Us fans have to realize the team is ran with the Spanos money and they can do what they want with it. If it were our money, we would spend it how we want. The reason the Chargers have been good since 2003, is because that is when A.J. Smith arrived in San Diego. It's been said many times but it is true, the NFL is a business. Recently the Chargers did not offer long term contracts to two of their pro bowl players in Jackson and McNeil. They did offer them a fair one year tenure to come back and play one year for around 3 million dollars. McNeil did sign last week for 630,000 dollars to play week 6-17. The reason Jackson did not sign is because he wants to be one of the highest payed receivers in the NFL. Jackson should have known that is not the Chargers way especially after he has gotten two DUI's. Jackson took bad advice from his agent and is now sitting out for the season in the prime of his career, when he could have been making 3 million dollars and get a huge pay day at the end of the season. The Chargers are not 1-2 because Jackson and McNeil have not played. You can't think that the Chargers would have pass for 500 yards and won last Sunday if they had their starting left tackle and number one receiver. The Chargers started out 1-3 last year with these two players and they also didn't make it to a super bowl either why would things be different this year. A.J. Smith wants the players to know that the state of the NFL today is that the talent coming out of college every year is better and better and ALMOST every player is a second round draft pick away from being replaced. Why would the Chargers give a player a five year 60 million dollar deal when they already may have had them for their best years when that player was only making 550,000 dollars a year. If you draft well you can replace your good players with a draft pick that will cost a fraction of the big contract the pro bowler expects. The Chargers and most teams in the NFL have a few players they throw the money at. For most teams it is the QB. The Chargers did this with Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates knowing these players could not be replaced. In the past it was Jamal Williams and another player I would throw into the cannot be replaced mix would be Quentin Jammer. Unfortunately the NFL uses up their players and it is sad, the players throw their bodies out on the field every week and risk their health to try and get the big pay day. It is hard to feel sorry for them though when at 21 years old they are handed millions of dollars, who else has that opportunity. When the fact is most players will play twice as hard to get the payday and then fall off after they get it. For Example, Randy Moss, Albert Haynesworth, and Larry Johnson. Now some teams do throw their money at players, like the Cowboys and Redskins. Who sign every big free agent. It just shows spending money does not win games. The Chargers have won more playoff games since 2003 then the Cowboys and Redskins combined. Sorry for the lengthy blog but it bugs me when I hear people say if we could just spend the money we would win a super bowl.

First Look: Bistro Barbes now open in Park Hill
Park Hill is becoming less and less of a food desert these days. Last week Gretchen Kurtz saluted the Abbey Tavern, which turned a former florist shop on East Colfax into a neighborhood hangout, and yesterday chef/owner Jon Robbins, founder of Gypsy Kitchen, opened Bistro Barbès at 5021 East 28th Avenue. The atmosphere is neighborhood-comfortable but the menu is ambitious, with dishes flavored by North African, Spanish and Middle-Eastern cuisines. We sent photographer Danielle Lirette to take a look; keep reading for a taste of Bistro Barbès.

Heinen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Heinen tannery is producing shoe upper leather since 1891 in Germany. Last year we launched our environmental product line under the name terracare. the terracare logo was designed on 99designs as well.
Today we want to extend our product line terracare into a product group called terracare zero. The zero stands for the elimination / neutralization of the CO2 emission of the leather production.
Some of the shoes produced with heinen terracare leather has a hangtag on the the shoe so the consumer can see what leather was used during shoe production and how this leather was produced. the logo is targeting the environmental cautious consumer.
The terracare zero logo needs to be based on the terracare logo. The terracare logo is well introduced to the market, which we need to continue to push. The zero add on should be somehow integrated into the existing terracare logo. The zero reflects the zero CO2 emission. So maybe the word zero and CO2 can be integrated into the terracar logo.
The terracare logo can be seen on our website http://www.terra-care.de and is also still on the 99design web site.

Hello friends! I'm so grateful for the support everyone has been giving me for the Minnesota's Most Valuable Blogger contest. You guys are truly the greatest! If I could make a batch of cookies for all of you and send them to you - I totally would. Or maybe a batch of baked manicotti?
This dish is so scrumptious! I can't watch an episode of Giada at Home anymore without wanting to recreate her recipes. If you haven't seen my recipe for homemade mixed berry jam, you have to check it out! This recipe actually reminds me of a recipe that I created based on an Amy's frozen meal. It has all the same ingredients - minus the Italian sausage. The Tofurky sausage adds such a great layer of flavor though. You get the sweetness from the peas and tomato sauce and the spiciness from the sausage - and don't forget the ooey gooeyness of the Daiya mozzarella. So good!
- 1/2 cup of Vegan Ricotta - click the link for my recipe
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 small onion - about 1/3 cup - diced
- 1-2 garlic cloves - minced
- 2 Tofurky Italian Sausages (or your favorite Vegan Italian Sausage) - diced
- 3/4 cup frozen peas
- 2 cups Vegan Mozzarella (I used Daiya - my favorite non-dairy cheese)
- 6-8 Manicotti shells
- 3 cups Marinara Sauce
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-by-2-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion, and garlic. Cook until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables have softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Once cooled - add the peas, ricotta, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Spread half of the marinara sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Using a small spoon, fill the manicotti shells with the sausage filling and arrange in a single layer in the baking dish. Pour the remaining marinara sauce on top of the filled shells. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top and drizzle with olive oil. Bake until the cheese has become bubbly and melty - about 30 minutes. Broil for the last 1-2 minutes.

Box Score Vs. Louisville Box Score in PDF Format
NEW YORK (AP) -Rick Pitino still roots for Providence, the team he led to the Final Four more than 22 years ago. He likens the program to his alma mater, and still considers it his first big break in the coaching profession.
If the Friars were playing anybody else Thursday, Pitino surely would have cringed.
Instead, he watched the Friars nearly match a Big East tournament record with 26 turnovers, and his fifth-ranked Louisville Cardinals eventually find their own offensive rhythm in a sloppy 73-55 quarterfinal victory.
"We do a very good job of moving the ball and defending," said Pitino, whose Cardinals advanced to play either No. 21 Marquette or No. 10 Villanova in Friday night's semifinals.
Earl Clark had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and freshman center Samardo Samuels added 22 points for the top seed and regular-season conference champions, who've won eight straight and are trying to show the NCAA selection committee that they're deserving of a No. 1 seed.
The Cardinals (26-5) have won 18 of their last 20 overall, including five wins over ranked teams, highlighted by a 69-63 victory over then-No. 1 Pittsburgh. Their last loss was Feb. 12 against Notre Dame.
The Friars (19-13), meanwhile, are just hoping they get a look on Selection Sunday.
"I'm kind of like everybody else. You listen to a lot of predictions, but the one thing that those people who predict have in common is they're not in the committee room," said first-year coach Keno Davis, who led Drake to the NCAA tournament last season.
"When you talk about finishing in the top half of the Big East, is that enough?" Davis added. "We'll see what happens. We'll have our fingers crossed on Sunday and look forward to playing more basketball."
Davis had better hope the committee looks at the Friars' body of work - including notable wins over Pittsburgh and Syracuse - and not at their performance in this one.
Weyinmi Efejuku scored 17 to lead the way, but Providence's ghastly turnover total was one shy of the tournament record set by Georgetown in 2002. Efejuku committed five of them.
Senior forward Geoff McDermott had 11 points but committed seven turnovers, and the team wound up shooting a dreadful 2-of-17 from beyond the arc. Providence finished 33.9 percent from the field overall against the nation's 22nd-best field goal percentage defense.
"I think they're the most aggressive defense we've faced, and consistently aggressive," Efejuku said. "Forty minutes, they're in your face."
Guard Sharaud Curry, who hit five 3-pointers and scored 25 points in the Friars' win over DePaul on Wednesday, was held to six points and was 1-of-6 beyond the arc.
Louisville had plenty of chances to blow the game open in the first half, at one point holding Providence to one field goal over nearly 9 1/2 minutes. During that ragged stretch, the Friars committed four straight turnovers, had one possession where they missed three straight from under the basket and airballed an open 3-point attempt.
The Friars, who average 14 turnovers, coughed the ball up 15 times in the first half alone and fell behind 34-24 at the break.
For every laughable gaffe that the Friars made, though, Louisville tried to match them.
Star forward Terrence Williams, a 41.9 percent 3-point shooter in the conference, missed his only try in the first 20 minutes. He also blew an open dunk on the Cardinals' second possession and didn't score in the first half.
Once the Cardinals finally stopped throwing up 3-point tries - they finished 3-of-19 for the game - and began looking inside, they methodically pulled away.
Leading 43-36 with about 13 minutes left, veteran guard Edgar Sosa curled in a jumper that started a 10-2 run, and Williams made his first basket with just over 9 minutes left to give Louisville its first comfortable lead.
The smaller Friars couldn't keep up with Louisville's athleticism, giving up a fast-break basket seemingly every time they threatened to close the gap over the last 10 minutes.
When they managed to slow the game into the half court, the 240-pound Samuels went to work inside. His emphatic jam with about 1:30 left put the signature on his best game since the second of his career, when he scored 24 points against South Alabama.
"He was good," Pitino said. "I don't think he did anything spectacular. I think he just stayed within the framework of teamwork and got a lot of good shots."

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama woman has given birth the same day she was arrested for the death of her 9-year-old stepdaughter, who authorities say died after being forced to run for three hours as punishment for eating a candy bar.
Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp says Jessica Mae Hardin is under guard at a hospital after giving birth Wednesday.
Hardin and her mother-in-law Joyce Hardin Garrard were charged with murder in the death of Savannah Hardin. Harp says his office is interviewing witnesses and may upgrade the charges to capital murder, which carries a possible death sentence.
Harp says Savannah Hardin had a bladder condition and was not supposed to have the caffeine in chocolate. He says there is no evidence the condition contributed to her death.

Keller's Roast Chicken
Thomas Keller is most known for his landmark 3 Michelin star restaurant, The French Laundry in Yountville, California. French Laundry food is famously exquisite, requiring an insane amount of preparation for each dish (if you're curious about just how insane, check out Carol Blymire's now retired French Laundry at Home blog in which she cooked her way through the restaurant's cookbook.) A few years ago Keller launched another restaurant in the area, ad hoc, for patrons who wanted quality, without all the fuss. Home cooking, done incredibly well.
Out of the restaurant came the cookbook, Ad Hoc at Home which made its way to our home last fall, and into my father's hands. Now, normally my dad shows only a mild interest in the various cookbooks that come our way (unless it's a cookbook featuring sauerkraut and pork, in which case he's all over it), but this time, not only did dear old dad read the book cover to cover twice, but he enthusiastically tackled Keller's roast chicken with root vegetables, cooked in a cast iron pan. (I'm guessing it's because the recipe calls for rutabagas and turnips, dad's favorite food group next to sauerkraut and pork.) But for whatever reason, it's now the only way that dad will roast a chicken (at least for the last 5 months).
The recipe may seem a little involved, but once you get the hang of it, it's dead easy. The first time dad made it there was a bit of howling from the kitchen as he tried to get the wishbone out (of the raw whole chicken), or as he attempted to truss the chicken without the drumsticks slipping out of the string. But the results are just so darn good, he kept at it and now puts it together easily.
The chicken must be at room temperature before it goes in the oven, or the chicken will not cook evenly. What Keller recommends (and what we do) is leave the chicken in the refrigerator, uncovered (on a plate and not touching anything else in the fridge), for 1-2 days after buying it, so that the skin gets a bit dried out. It will roast up crispier this way. Then 1 1/2 to 2 hours before it goes in the oven, we put it on a plate on the kitchen counter to come to room temp (about 70 degrees). Remove the neck and giblets from the cavity of the chicken before you set it out to come to room temp. (Save for stock.) Note that Keller's original recipe calls for a leek (to be cooked with the root vegetables), which we skip in our adaptation.
- One 4 to 4 1/2 pound chicken
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled (smash with the side of a chef's knife, makes it easier to peel)
- 6 thyme sprigs
- 3 medium-sized rutabagas (also called "swedes"), ends cut and discarded, rutabagas peeled, and any outer tough layer discarded, then rutabagas cut into 3/4-inch wedges
- 2 medium-sized turnips, prepared the same way as the rutabagas
- 4 medium-sized carrots, peeled and cut in 2-inch segments
- 1 small yellow onion, peeled, roots cut off but core kept intact (see the photos for Frenching onions), other end cut off and discarded, the onion then cut into quarters
- 8 small red-skinned new potatoes
- About 1/3 cup olive oil or grapeseed oil (Keller uses canola oil, we prefer olive or grapeseed oil)
- 4 Tbsp butter, room temperature (spreadable)
- A large (11-inch if you have it) cast-iron frying pan
- Kitchen string
1 Preheat oven to 475°F.
2 Use a paring knife to cut away the wishbone from the neck/breast area of the chicken. You will probably have to use your fingers to feel around for it. This is a little bit tricky, but if you can remove the wishbone first, it will make the chicken easier to carve after it is cooked. (This ease of future carving is the only reason to take the bone out, so you can leave it in if you want.)
3 Generously season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add three of the garlic cloves and 5 sprigs of the thyme to the cavity, using your hands to rub the thyme and garlic all around the cavity.
4 Truss the chicken with kitchen string. To do so, start by cutting a 3-foot section of cotton kitchen string. Place the chicken so that it is breast up, and the legs pointing toward you. Tuck the wing tips under the chicken. Wrap the string under the neck end of the bird, pulling the string ends up over the breast, toward you, plumping up the breast. Then cross the string under the breast (above the cavity and between the legs). Wrap each end around the closest leg end, and tie tightly so that the legs come together.
5 Place the vegetables, onions, garlic, and remaining thyme sprig into a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil (or grapeseed or canola oil) and toss with your hands until well coated. Season generously with salt and pepper.
6 Slather the chicken with oil and season well with salt and pepper.
7 Create a bed of the root vegetables in a large cast iron pan (or use a regular roasting pan if you don't have a cast iron pan.) My father likes to leave out the potatoes at this stage and arrange them around the chicken. Place the chicken on the bed of vegetables. Slather the top of the chicken breasts with butter. (Note that we added some extra sprigs of thyme to the top, probably because my dad forgot to add them to the vegetables! But it still worked.)
8 Place the pan in the oven and roast the chicken for 25 minutes at 475°F. Then reduce the heat to 400°F and roast for an additional 45 minutes, or until the thickest part of the thigh registers 160°F on a meat thermometer and the juices run clear.
9 Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 20 minutes before carving to serve. You can keep the vegetables warm by keeping them in the now-turned-off oven while the chicken is resting. Stir to coat the vegetables with the cooking juices before serving
10 Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Place vegetables on a serving platter with the chicken pieces arranged on top.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown responded Friday to allegations that his department had lowered testing standards for recruits, blasting the claims as unfounded.
Brown said he found no factual evidence that his department had violated established procedures by allowing mediocre recruits to repeatedly take driving and shooting tests until they passed.
The chief launched an internal review after the president of the Dallas Police Association sent a letter to city officials Thursday complaining that the department had grown lax in its testing requirements for operating police vehicles and shooting firearms, two skills integral to an officer's job.
In the letter, Ron Pinkston singled out one recruit who he said had failed the department's vehicle operations course several times, but was allowed to retest until he passed. He also accused the department of allowing "marginal" shooters to take remedial training until they succeeded.
After interviewing employees at the police academy and firearms training center, Dallas police said they found no evidence of any wrongdoing. There were "no facts" to support the claim that shooters were taking remedial lessons until they qualified, and department policy allowed the recruit to retake the driving test, police said.
Brown is now launching an internal affairs investigation to find out the source of the allegations. "We take these allegations very seriously and will not tolerate the lowering or downgrading of our training standards," he said in a statement.
Pinkston said Friday he remains confident "there is evidence out there" to support his claims.
He said his association would like Brown to release memos, test scores, letters of termination and Texas Commission on Law Enforcement documents "for transparency purposes." He also asked that instructors, police academy staff and recruits be allowed to talk publicly "without retaliation."
"I'm also disappointed that he is starting an internal affairs investigation to find out who leaked the information, instead of starting an internal affairs investigation to find out who bypassed the policies and procedures already set in place," Pinkston said.
The original letter is below:

Morbid obesity is an important public health problem, but the complex relationship between obesity and the skeleton is poorly understood. This proposal has been designed to examine the impact of obesity and obesity treatments on skeletal health, and to facilitate my long-term goal of becoming an independent clinical investigator. Recent epidemiologic data suggest that fracture rates in morbidly obese adults are higher than is commonly believed, and may equal or surpass rates in normal-weight adults at certain skeletal sites. Furthermore, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is becoming increasingly popular as a treatment for morbid obesity, but there is growing concern that the surgery results in accelerated bone loss and increased risk of fractures. Our knowledge in this field has been complicated by known limitations in dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in obesity and during weight loss. This proposal seeks to provide a more complete and accurate evaluation of bone density, microarchitecture, and strength in both obesity and after gastric bypass surgery using advanced imaging techniques. A prospective, longitudinal cohort of morbidly obese adults will be studied before and for 2 years after gastric bypass surgery using quantitative computed tomography and high- resolution non-invasive imaging. Normal-weight and non-surgical obese controls will be recruited for cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons. We will also examine the complex physiology connecting adipose tissue and the skeleton, and evaluate potential mechanisms of accelerated bone loss after gastric bypass. The career development plan consists of a five year mentored program that will incorporate didactic and research training and will be guided by well-established scientists who have been selected based upon their expertise in obesity and metabolic bone disease. In summary, the proposed research will test innovative hypotheses about the skeletal consequences of obesity and gastric bypass surgery, while providing a training platform and investigational niche for the candidate to establish independence as a clinical investigator. Characterization of obesity's effects on bone may yield insights on how to optimize skeletal health in obese patients, uncover ways to minimize fracture risk for patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery, and shed light on the complex interactions between adipose tissue and bone.
Severe obesity may be associated with defects in skeletal health, and weight-loss surgery may further lead to accelerated bone loss and increased risk of fractures. The proposed project will provide an in- depth analysis of the effects of obesity and weight-loss surgery on bone health. The knowledge gained from these studies will improve the clinical care of obese patients and those who are considering weight-loss surgery as well as shed light on the complex interplay between bone and adipose tissue.

Dave "Higgo" Higgins of Australia's long-running rock station Triple M conducted an interview with METALLICA frontman James Hetfield during this year's Soundwave festival in Australia. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.
Regarding the progress of the songwriting sessions for METALLICA's follow-up to 2008's "Death Magnetic", Hetfield said: "Yeah, we're trying to write [new material], but gigs keep popping up that are too exciting to stay home for. We have lots of material [we've been] working on from the day 'Death Magnetic' ended all the way up until now. "There's tons of material. Some [riffs] stick with me because the theme keeps coming back. Out of 700 riffs, there's at least three I've played 20 times." Asked what the new material is sounding like, Hetfield said: "I don't know where it's going yet but we've got lots of different sounds, different styles. We're certainly not afraid of jumping into past 'feels.' "After 'Death Magnetic', we've stopped running hard and started embracing some of our past. 'Master Of Puppets' was kind of a core reference for 'Death Magnetic'." On the topic of how he responds to fans who want METALLICA to make an album that sounds like their old stuff, like "Master Of Puppets", Hetfield said: "Let's not do that, shall we?! It's a catch-22, because I completely understand what people want. It's like they're asking you to recreate a memory in their past and you cannot do that. It's a moment of time. "We're one of those bands that doesn't really care what people want. "We have been artists since day one. We're not going to roll over for anyone and, you know, we're METALLICA for a reason and we're going to keep doing that." METALLICA's much-anticipated 3D movie, "Metallica Through The Never", will make its theatrical debut on August 9. "Metallica Through The Never" will be the first new release via Picturehouse, the full-service independent film marketing and distribution company started in 2005, which is reopening its doors with founder Bob Berney at the helm. The film, written and directed by Nimród Antal ("Kontroll", "Predators"), stars members of the iconic rock band and Dane DeHaan ("Chronicle", "The Amazing Spider-Man 2"). DeHaan plays a young band crew member who is sent out on an urgent mission while the band is playing a rousing live set in front of a sold-out crowd and unexpectedly finds his world turned completely upside down. "The idea started off as a best-of show," Hetfield said. "Taking all the effects and props and ideas from all the tours from 'Ride The Lightning' all the way up… 'Kill 'Em All' was just us and a Vodka bottle. "The footage is unbelievable but we wanted a storyline along with it... [It's] about one of the runners in the show who goes on this crazy adventure trying to find this 'bag' that we need for the end of the show. There is a plot, but we're still trying to figure it out!"

Hi everyone,
I would like to start a new discussion about job interviews in English. In my opinion it is good idea to prepare well before going to an interview. So... which grammar tenses are best to use in an interview ? To talk about work experience - past simple and past perfect continous ? To talk about ourselves - present simple ? So let's discussion begin. For a start I would like to add some useful word which can be used in an interview : apply, deal with, income, improve, hard-working, essential, motivate.
Hello everybody,
Find attached a link for 50 questions and answer for a typical jon interview.

Preparing the Kitchen
Every part of our homes is cleaned for Passover, but we pay special attention to the kitchen, because (a) that's where most of our chametz hangs out during the year, and (b) we will be using our kitchens to prepare our Passover food.
Dishes and Utensils
Today, most Passover-savvy homes have a special set of dishes, silverware, pots, pans and other utensils for Passover use only. If necessary, certain year-round utensils can be used—provided they are koshered for Passover. This gets rather complex—you'll need to consult a competent rabbi about your particular utensils, but you can click here for the basic koshering procedures.
Oven and Stove
Thoroughly clean and scour every part of the oven and stove. Heat the oven to the highest temperature possible for 1–2 hours. Heat the grates and the iron parts of the stove (and the elements, if electric) until they are red-hot. It is suggested that the oven and the stove top should be covered with aluminum foil afterwards for the duration of Passover. A self-cleaning oven should be run though a full cleaning cycle and may then be used (but no hot Passover foods or dishes should be placed on the glass door).
Microwave Ovens
Clean the oven thoroughly. Fill a completely clean container, that was not used for 24 hours, with water. Turn on the microwave and let it steam heavily. Turn it off and wipe out the inside.
To use the microwave during Passover, use a flat, thick, microwave-safe object as a separation between the bottom of the oven and the cooking dish. When cooking or warming, the food should be covered on all sides.
For 24 hours before koshering the sink, do not pour hot water from chametz pots into it. Meticulously clean the sink, boil water in a clean pot which was not used for 24 hours, and pour three times onto every part of the sink, including the drain stopper. Then line the sink with foil or liner.
Refrigerator, Freezer, Cupboards, Closets, Tables, and Counters
Thoroughly clean and scrub them to remove any crumbs and residue. Afterwards, place a heavy covering over those surfaces that come into contact with hot food or utensils.
Tablecloths and Napkins
Launder without starch.
Cars, Garages, etc.
Vacuum your car or van; thoroughly clean your basement, garage, or any property you own. Special care should be taken with items you will be using, or rooms you will be accessing, during Passover.

b. If the sink is koshered for Passover, you can then put your dishes into the sink. Note that some have the custom of covering it even though it has been koshered.
c. Koshering a dishwasher for Passover use is not a simple feat. If you feel that it is very important for you to have a dishwasher on Passover, please speak to your community rabbi about what options may be available to you and your dishwasher.
d. It is generally safe to turn on the oven for that much time. If you have any specific concerns, I suggest that you talk to an electrician or appliance specialist.
e. There are different approaches to koshering a microwave for Passover. A quick google search will reveal the suggested method of the major kosher agencies in the US.
Thank you very much
shabbat shalom
Worcester, MA
However, when it comes to Passover, there are certain extra stringencies some communities have. For example, the custom in many communities is not to kosher knives for Passover, but rather to buy new knives. The reason for this is, that both the design of most knives, that they have grooves, as well as the function of knives, that they are used with pressure on food, lead to food getting more firmly stuck onto the knife. In order to be extra strict for Passover, we therefore don't kosher knives. On a practical level, it's worth it to have extra utensils which are used only on Passover and stored away throughout the year.
The blades of the food processor would have the same status as knives.
One should consult his local Rabbi as to how he should conduct himself.
can a kitchen aid stand mixer be koshered for passover ? like the motor, bowls whisks etc.

Whatthefuck Lyrics
Artist: Twiztid
Album: Mosttasteless
[Jamie Maddrox]
Hey yo fuck everybody that aint down with us.
Superstars Incorperated label us.
Infamous niggas is rediculous.
For tryin to replicate our context.
Not equivalent to my terror they suffer broke next.
Bitch ass niggas is tryin to imatate.
My real estate.
So me and Monoxide child.
We had to migrate like ghost in the window.
We sinners with the halos.
Left the company in the dust for lack of payroll.
Now we stable.
On our feet willin and able.
To switch upon your boys to enable.
You wanna talk about fables.
I turn the tables.
Like the exorcist.
Dominate your cerebelliam.
So dont stay next to this.
Multiple equation abration to your mindstate.
Inquisitive minds and eyes dilate.
While I dominate all that underground.
Im not the devil with the whores, pitchforks, or shovels.
So can you dig it, I be Jamie Maddrox.
Bleach white like ?mr pollack?
Recurred like Mr thomas.
But I dont be claimin white socks.
My crew evails.
Sucka, my weapon for bashin brains.
Leavin competition tangled in chains like I was pinhead.
A ?sinabite? Livin at night.
Afraid of sunlight, police told to shoot on site.
You think they might.
If they do I return fire.
At rapid speeds.
To show them bitches what tricks I have up my sleeves.
Increase in disease!
[Chorus 1x]
So Whatthefuck! Whatthefuck! Yeah!(repeat with chorus)
Increase in diease.
Will your body rest in peace?
Now that your souls been released.
Will your body rise from the grave?
Will you have time to pay?
Hopin that your soul will be saved.
[Monoxide Child]
To tell ya the truth its like this.
Everybody can suck my dick.
And I could give a fuck less bitch you aint shit.
And I would be the first to tell.
I got your family all hot.
Pretendin they burnin in hell.
True, I sold my soul.
I never did shit wit it.
But I could give a fuck about it.
So I know I could live without it.
A constant struggle to get to the top.
Increase in deceased, let it pop.
Then watch em drop.
Pushin a button, stoppin at nothin.
Before you fuck wit both those kids,
You betta think before you say somethin.
All up in your crib what?
Lookin for goods, scream sounds mothafuckas,
With them masks in the hoods, it aint good.
Remember that, all you suckas on the internet.
Thinkin its cool but we in to that.
Sittin in my room alone mad depressed.
Relieve the stress by stickin pencils in my chest.
God bless a bag of weed so I can get high.
And get back at you suckas and some music shit to make your ears bleed.
Proceed to talk that shit, its all wack.
Im gonna get high and pay the whole world back.
Increase in disease!

Wheat Ridge car dealer Phil Wolf believes President Barack Obama might just be a jihadist. In Wolf's world, the president still lacks a legitimate birth certificate, despite evidence to the contrary, and the president might be connected to the shooting massacre at the Fort Hood U.S. Army post. Those are the messages Wolf advertises in a billboard that he erected at his used-car lot, triggering accusations of racism (via The Huffington Post).
Denver Post columnist Mike Littwin calls the "birther" message at the center of the billboard the "strangest conspiracy theory since the Trilateral Commission days," expressing utter confusion as to why the billboard slams Obama as traitorous with its message: "Wake up America! Remember Fort Hood!"
The controversy is snaring innocent bystanders, including Wolf Auto Sales of northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska, which received multiple calls and e-mails about the billboard, although it is not affiliated with Wolf Auto Group of Wheat Ridge (via dscriber).
As for Phil Wolf, he tells 9News he's received threats: "We've had calls as far as Canada to Florida. We've had calls all over the country. I didn't expect employees to leave scared going home from work that were threatened, death threats and attempts to bomb the place. It's been pretty crazy out there."
Still, Wolf says he won't back down. The Anti-Defamation League wishes he would, saying the billboard uses religious imagery to stereotype all Muslims.

Bringing Nature's Beauty Indoors: A Scene from My Wintertime Oasis. Clockwise from back: Cycas revoluta, Agave geminifolia & Kalanchoe 'Manginii'
I kicked my Christmas tree out yesterday (p.s. Sorry Mr. Balsam, I will miss your sweet fragrance, but you were growing stale and it was time for a fresh start). Of course no sooner did I shove that big boy out the door than I began to long for something fresh and new to fill the void. Luckily, I have a growing collection of houseplants —many transitory summer residents of the balcony and terrace, seeking seasonal shelter from the cold— and they've been begging to move beyond their cramped corner in my studio.
This gorgeous orchid has just begun to bloom (Paphiopedilum Magic Leopard #1 x Paphiopedilum fairrieanum). Some orchids prefer dry, desert-like conditions, and others prefer tropical heat and humidity. Click back to my previous post on orchid obsession for resources and easy-care, species suggestions.
And while it's certainly true that there's a plant for almost every indoor situation, finding the right place for each species can be a challenge. Cacti and succulents thrive in hot, dry conditions; making them perfect winter residents for homes with wood stoves and furnaces. But other houseplants prefer cooler temperatures and high humidity. Just as you would investigate the cultural requirements of a perennial or shrub before choosing a spot for it in your garden, it's wise to get familiar with the needs of your houseplants in order to provide them with the best microclimate within your home.
Most herbs, like this rosemary plant, prefer full sun and infrequent watering throughout the winter months. Situated beside a south-facing glass door in the kitchen, this plant provides fresh flavor to many dishes and refreshing scent beside the compost bin and dog dish (is that your bad breath, Oli?)
If you have pets or small children in your home, it's very important to familiarize yourself with toxic plants and either avoid them entirely, or situate them within enclosed terrariums, high upon shelves, or in out-of-the-way, closed-off rooms. Revisit my post 'Dangerous Beauty' for helpful links, online lists and other toxic plant resources. And no matter how careful I am, inevitably some insect pest or other finds its way into my home and onto my houseplants during the winter months (even fresh cut flowers sometimes provide a 'free ride' to bugs!). Click back to my previous post on the subject of insect infestation for some non-toxic solutions and trouble-shooting resources.
Peperomia are wonderful, easy-care houseplants. This particular cultivar, P.caperata 'Raspberry Ripple', has become one of my all-time favorites. Read more about this beauty in my previous post, 'Hello, I Love You, Won't You Tell Me Your Name' by clicking here.
In addition to providing a pet-proof glass barrier for poisonous plants, terrariums also increase humidity and create endless possibilities for beautiful display of small, tender plants and objects. Learn how to make a terrarium and find more resources on my Indoor Eden page by clicking here.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Shipping lanes between Guangdong province and Taiwan have been shut down as southern China braces for typhoon Usagi, expected to hit landfall Sunday.
Xinhua newswire reported Saturday that as of this morning most shipping lines from Xiamen City to Kinmen, Taiwan and all lines from Quanzhou City to Kinmen were canceled already. But Usagi is expected to make a direct hit in Guangdong Province sometime on Sunday afternoon and last until Monday morning. It is likely that all shipping routes in the line of fire will be shut down this weekend.
Usagi's center was 180 kilometers (111 miles) southeast of Taiwan at 9 a.m. this morning and moving northwest at a speed of up to 20 kilometers per hour (13 miles per hour), the Chinese National Meteorological Center said today.
The National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center issued red alerts for the region for storm tides and waves expected to be as high as 10 meters (33 feet) in the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait and the East China Sea around the Diaoyu Islands.
Port hub cities like Guangdong are bracing for impact this weekend.
This isn't the first time a Usagi has come to southeast Asia. In August 2001, an early Usagi "relative", a mere tropic storm, cost over $8 million in crop damages in the Philippines and at least 10 deaths.
The latest Usagi incarnation is a whole lot bigger, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. calling this Usagi a "super" storm.
The term has become popular in meteorological circles, and in the general media, following last year's Super Storm Sandy which destroyed much of the New Jersey shoreline.
Many climate scientists blame changing ocean temperatures spurred on by ice melt in the poles for stronger storms. The ice reflects the sun, but when the ice is gone, the sun bakes down on the colder ocean waters in the north and ultimately leads to increases in ocean temperatures.
According to a NOAA report in August, the combined average temperature over global land and ocean surfaces for August 2013 tied with 2005 as the fourth highest in the 1880–2013 record, at 0.62°C (1.12°F) above the 20th century average of 15.6°C (60.1°F).
The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for the year-to-date (January–August) was 0.59°C (1.06°F) above the 20th century average of 14.0°C (57.3°F), tying with 2003 as the sixth warmest period on record.
Warmer surface water dissipates more readily into vapor, making it easier for small ocean storms to escalate into larger, more powerful systems.
Usagi will impact some of China's busiest ports, including those in Zhuhai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Jieyang and Shantou.

The PSR-3000 offers the most value for the dollar of any arranger keyboard we make, with new features previously reserved for the top models like Mega Voice technology, color screen, 3-part vocal harmony, video out and organ flutes that use modeling technology. In addition, SmartMedia capability and USB "TO DEVICE" for connecting hard drives, thumb drives and floppy disk drives finally bring large media storage to this level of product, and broadband for connecting the keyboard directly to the Internet and downloading content – an industry first. And finally, there are still features that even a beginner would appreciate like performance assistant technology for song playback that, when enabled, insures that even a non-player cannot make a mistake. Convenience, quality and expandability – the PSR-3000 has it all.
Mega Voice technology and MEGAEnhancer software – music to your ears
First introduced in Tyros, Mega Voice brings a new level of realism to the PSR-3000 keyboard. Why are Mega Voices so special? They feature multiple samples across the keyboard with sophisticated velocity switching – for incredibly authentic instrument so...
Mega Voice technology and MEGAEnhancer software – music to your ears
First introduced in Tyros, Mega Voice brings a new level of realism to the PSR-3000 keyboard. Why are Mega Voices so special? They feature multiple samples across the keyboard with sophisticated velocity switching – for incredibly authentic instrument sounds. They contain not only the basic samples of the instrument but also the performance techniques used with it – including open and muted string sounds, slide effects, harmonics, hammer-on notes, strumming and body noises. Taking this a step further, included with the PSR-3000 is MEGAEnhancer software, which allows you to convert MIDI data on your PC so that it takes full advantage of the PSR-3000's Mega Voice capabilities. So now, MEGAEnhancer does for MIDI files what Mega Voice did for the built-in styles – taking data that sounds programmed , to sounding like music.
Large color screen – you're going to love it!
The LCD on keyboards is your connection to the instrument, whether it's selecting a voice, reading sheet music or browsing songs and styles on the Internet; bigger is better and color is better yet – like the QVGA display found on the PSR-3000. Color adds a new dimension to the different screens you use to control your music, but is most appreciated on ones with a lot of knobs and faders like the mixing screen. As with your TV or computer screen, after seeing and working with a color screen, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
Microphone input, Vocal Harmony and Video out for real time performance
This past couple of years has seen a resurgence in TV talent shows that is adding new talent and vitality to the music market and entertainment field. Whether you sing for fun or for a living, the PSR-3000 has features that help you sound great. The keyboard is equipped with a microphone input (MIC not included) and a professional Vocal Harmony function, upgraded from the previous model to 4-part harmony including your original voice, which transposes your voice in real time to provide authentic sounding harmony. Add a choir to provide more depth and emotion to a ballad or expand your singing range with the unique Gender function. The harmony function can be triggered in real time from 3 different sources; left hand chords, right hand notes or from a track in a MIDI file. There are literally thousands of song files available from many different sources on the Internet that contain lyric and harmony information (for example: see the XF section at yamahamusicsoft.com. ) that makes the whole process plug and play. Call up the song and follow the lyrics in the screen, or connect the video out jack to your television for a family get-together or for audience participation in a club environment. The lyrics advance as the song does and the harmony will come and go at the appropriate times. And because it's MIDI, you can change the key without altering the sound. Once your friends and family try it, your biggest problem will be getting the microphone back!
Virtual Drawbars – all of the sound, none of the weight!
If you are a fan of that vintage organ sound, then look no further than the PSR-3000 Organ Flutes. One press of the Footage button calls up a graphical representation of nine drawbars and assigns the increment/decrement buttons under the screen for controlling them. You can make adjustments in real time that include flute footage volume, rotary speaker speed and type, organ type, vibrato, percussive attack and length, response and EQ. Once you get it the way you like, then simply save the new voice and call it up any time you like. And because the PSR-3000 has 2 Foot Pedal jacks, you can assign one to control rotary speed for smooth, hands free operation.
SmartMedia™ offers high-capacity storage
For the utmost in simplicity, compatibility and portability, the PSR-3000 features SmartMedia storage (card optional), offering up to 128MB of high-speed access to songs, styles, registration memory and user voices. Unlike audio files, MIDI songs and styles are small files, allowing you to store literally hundreds of your favorite tunes on a card that is not much bigger than a postage stamp. For convenience, there are a couple of ways to get data to the card. You can connect the keyboard directly to your computer, using the USB jack on the back, and transfer songs and styles from your computer to the card. Or, if you don't plan on having the two devices in the same room, simply pick up a memory card reader for your computer from your favorite electronic supply store and transfer data that way. For those that have large collections of MIDI data on floppy disk, you can connect an optional USB floppy drive (like the Yamaha UD-FD01 shown at right) and transfer the data directly to a SmartMedia card.
USB connectivity brings music directly to your keyboard
The PSR-3000 has 2 USB ports on the back, USB To Host and USB TO DEVICE.
- USB TO HOST is plug and play simple for recording and playing back MIDI files, as well as transferring data to and from your computer.
- USB TO DEVICE is for connecting optional peripheral USB storage devices like floppy disk drives, thumb drives and hard drives. USB TO DEVICE is also used for connecting the keyboard to the Internet using an optional USB-Ethernet or USB Wi-Fi adaptor. You'll need your computer to activate an account, but once that's done, you can browse through songs and styles and download music directly into your keyboard, play it, score it and learn it – no computer required. To learn more about this feature, visit the Internet Direct Connection services page. For the ultimate in user control, if the MIDI file is an XF file with embedded chord data, you can re-mix it. The keyboard will follow the chords in the song and replace appropriate tracks with auto accompaniment tracks like bass, drums, horns and guitar. For example, you can take a Rock song and convert it in real time to Latin, Jazz, Country or Hip Hop. This feature also adds accompaniment to interactive digital sheet music, which normally would only have the left and right piano parts (see Scorch XF at www.yamahamusicsoft.com). And with Yamaha's interactive Guide Mode, even a novice can learn to play their favorite music. Simply start a song, press Guide, and the keyboard highlights the notes on sheet music in the display screen and slows down or even waits for you to find the notes.
A Keyboard with more Style
The PSR-3000 features Styles (accompaniment patterns) in a variety of different musical genres including Rock, Jazz, Latin, Country and Dance. As you play chords with your left hand, the selected Style will automatically provide drums, bass, guitar, strings, organ and horn parts. This is live playing at it's best. For even greater diversity, this keyboard is the first in the line to offer four sections to the built-in Styles. For example, you could use the A section for the Verse, B section for the Chorus, C for the Bridge and D for a Solo. In addition, each Style has three different Intros and Endings with dedicated panel buttons, and will automatically fill, if you like, between sections.
Sounds Good To Me
A keyboard can only sound as good as the speakers that reproduce its sound. The stereo speaker system in the PSR-3000 has been specially designed to faithfully reproduce the powerful dynamics and subtle overtones of the onboard voices and music styles. The keyboard comes with 829 voices and is 128-note polyphonic. Additional sound features include a selection of special samples called Sweet!, Live! and Cool! voices.
- Sweet! Voices reproduce all the natural expression and vibrato of their respective acoustic instruments.
- Cool! Voices feature long samples of electronically amplified instruments.
- Live! Voices use stereo samples to ensure the most accurate reproduction of each instrument's natural presence, resonance and vibrato.
The PSR-3000 is compatible with commercially available song/style data includin
- GM2 - General MIDI 2
- XG – Yamaha Extended Voice Set
- DOC – Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection
- SMF with lyrics – Standard MIDI File
- KAR – Karaoke Files
- XF – Songs with lyrics and/or chords
- SFF – Yamaha Style Files
Ease of operation
There are many tools in the keyboard that make it easy to be a power user from the first day you own the keyboard.
- Direct Access button: Press this button and the function you would like to adjust, for example pitch bend, and the LCD screen instantly takes you there. Saves wading through menus and sub-menus.
- Music Finder: Complete keyboard setups by song title. The keyboard selects an appropriate voice for the right hand melody, the correct musical style and the correct tempo. Simply call up a song title and start playing.
- Quick record: To record a song, just press the Record button. Recording starts as soon as you start playing the keyboard and will record everything you play – the Style, Left & Layer Voices and Multi pads – or a single track.
- One Touch Setting (OTS): Provides you with a recommended voice with effects for each section of a Style (4 per style). Can be set to change automatically or you can select one of the four buttons. For example, on a jazz style, one OTS might be piano, the next jazz guitar with a little echo, the third sax with reverb and the forth might be piano and vibes layered.
- Multi Pads: These four buttons change to match the genre of each Style (or you can change them yourself) and can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard playing. Translation: MIDI-Loops.
- Built-in Help: Help messages give you explanations and descriptions of the main functions and features found in the keyboard. Language choices include English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish or Italian.
- Demo: In addition to the main demos showing some of the more advanced features found in the keyboard, there is also a short demo for every sound.
- Mixing Console: To change voices, adjust levels, panning, transpose, tuning, pitch bend and effects on various tracks or parts that you play, simply press the Mixing Console button and make adjustments using graphical representations of rotary pots and faders.
- Registration Memory: Set the keyboard up just the way you like and take a digital snapshot by memorizing it to one of the Registration buttons. Load and save banks of eight registrations to User memory, SmartMedia or USB device. The eight Registration buttons are conveniently located just above the keyboard.
- Performance assistant technology: Guarantees that you can't play a wrong note. Here's how it works. Select an XF compatible song, press the Performance Assistant button and every note you play will fit the music. If you move up the keyboard, the pitch goes up. If you move down, the pitch goes down. Play a perfect arpeggio, or play chords in time with the music, or really go for it and play a solo. As long as performance assistant is "on", you're "on".

March – Ask the Vet
This month, Dr. Moser answers your questions about weight loss for a Manx and switching to Senior Dog Food.
Q: My Manx has gained 2 lbs and I want to get her back to a healthy weight. I have been feeding her 1/2 cup of Wellness® Healthy Weight Recipe Cat Food per day. She is 11 years old and has not lost any weight just yet since switching from Wellness CORE. Do you have any suggestions on how I can help her lose weight?
A: The first step in any weight control program is to accurately measure body weight and estimate a body condition score. Get a pediatric or small animal scale that you feel comfortable weighing the cat on at home; or visit your vet. Also, assign a body condition score to the cat. To find out how to do a body condition score, visit www.acvn.org and click on Statements and Endorsements– and then on AAHA Nutritional Assessment Guidelines.
You did not mention the body weight of the cat—so let us assume that your cat is 12 pounds and your goal is to get to an optimal weight of 10 pounds. At 10 pounds, the Resting Energy Requirement (RER) is about 215 kcal per day; for weight loss you want to offer 70% of this or 150 kcal per day. This translates to about 1/3 cup of Wellness Super5Mix® Healthy Weight Recipe Dry Cat Food per day. Try to spread it out over at least 2 meals during the day. This is a small amount of food — only about 42 grams, so expect to see hunger behavior.
Increase the cat's activity as much as possible and weigh the cat on Tuesdays and Saturdays of each week. Record the weight in a notebook with daily feeding information. Remember cats should lose no more than about 1% of their body weight per week. Modify the amount fed when the desired weight is achieved.
Q: I have an 11 year old Shih-Tzu and I'm thinking that I should begin using the Wellness Super5Mix® Just for Seniors Recipe Dry Dog Food. Would this be correct or should I be looking for physical cues before switching her purely based on age?
A: Just like humans; dogs and cats require special care as they grow older. Mature adult body size is a good indicator of longevity in dogs. Small breeds of dogs such as the Shih-Tzu, tend to mature quickly (about 9 months of age) and become seniors in their mid to late teens. On the other hand, large breeds like Great Danes , mature more slowly ( 15 -20 months) and become seniors by about 7 years. For this reason, small breed dogs generally have longer longevity than large breed dogs.
The first step in setting up a geriatric program for your aging dog is to schedule a senior wellness visit at your local veterinary clinic. Make sure there is no disease or other condition which imposes specific dietary guidelines; and that the veterinarian does not recommend any type of special nutrient restrictions or enhancements.
In your healthy aging Shih-Tzu, I recommend feeding Wellness Super5Mix Small Breed Adult Health Recipe Dry Dog Food for now. I am in favor of the enhanced level of dietary protein and omega -3 fatty acids for the long silky coat. Note the omega 3 fatty acid contributing ingredients like salmon meal, salmon oil, menhaden fish meal and flaxseed found in this Wellness recipe.
Continue to monitor the senior dog's body weight, drinking and urination behaviors, total food intake per day, stool quality, activity and skin and coat condition. At some point you and your vet may consider feeding a traditional senior dog food like Wellness Super5Mix Just for Seniors, which has less protein and fat – and increased fiber to support weight maintenance. Both Wellness Super5Mix Just for Seniors and Wellness Super5Mix Small Breed Adult Health Recipe dry dog food have added glucosamine HCl and chondroitin sulfate to aid in hip and joint health.

My 2-year old female cat is only 7 1/2 lbs. She never has big appetite for food except treats. I would like her to eat more and gain more weight, what should I do? She's currently on wellness core/salmon and premium brand canned food. I have another cat who is about to turn 4. Do they need any supplement besides their current diet? Thank you
I have a 22 lb Maine Coon that our vet feels should be closer to 18lb. Since he loves his food this has been a real struggle. Six months ago I switched him from Science Diet dry to Wellness Core and Turkey Salmon can. It took almost 4 months to get close to the amount that your charts show for a 18 lb cat. I was very suprised that the change over would take that long. He is more active, more adgile (can now jump straight up on to the dinning room table Hmmph!) While he has only lost oz's his comformation is improving, he has more of a shape along the spinal column and you can almost feel his ribs. The other big change is he is no longer ravenish, he is ready to eat at meal time (AM/PM) but is not driving me crazy at 4 am when he gets fed at 6am. Oh the other great side effect is his breath is way better and his bowel movements no longer turn the room blue. He must be feeliong all better inside. thanks for a great new choice. Oh keep the coupons coming!
Instead of recommending a starvation diet to the owner of the Manx, switching to a wet food diet would be so much better. Not only will it be lower in carbs, but it will also give the cat the protein and moisture that is essential to a cats health. The cat will be able to have enough food to prevent feeling hungry and will lose weight too. That's a win, win diet!
Wellness has some great low carb (grain-free) wet foods. I have been feeding my cats this grain-free food for several years and they love it. -
My lab, who is 7, has a kidney problem and also had lyme. My vet doesnt want him eating too much protein. We give him Wellness Super5Mix for Seniors but I am not sure how much he should get to loose weight. He is 88 lbs and has put 15 lbs on in the last three years when he started eating a Rx food our vet wanted him on once a day and the other meal I give him Wellness. I give him 2 cups total a day plus veggies. He loves fruit also as he was raised by a spanish family and thus he loves fruits and veggies.l
Really its nice information the passport workshop with Jamie and Nichole was absolutely fantastic! Make sure there is no disease or other condition which imposes specific dietary guidelines; and that the veterinarian does not recommend any type of special nutrient restrictions or enhancements. The other big change is he is no longer ravenish, he is ready to eat at meal time but is not driving me crazy at 4 am when he gets fed at 6am. Oh the other great side effect is his breath is way better and his bowel movements no longer turn the room blue. He must be feeling all better inside. Thanks for a great new choice. I can count on if I ever need photography advice or a second set of eyes! I'm so glad I attended as I came away with so many resources as well as a whole lot of inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
