I became worried when their food bowls were still full when I got home from work yesterday so I consulted "The Google" and to my horror found several sites dedicated to stopping Hartz and other corporations from selling these products. These pyrethroid containing products have killed or harmed thousands of animals even after being forced to stop selling a different version of the products in 2006. There appears to be a pattern of the EPA approving these products then pulling them a few years later after complaints from consumers.
Here is a heartwrenching video of two cats that had adverse reactions, one survived but still has trouble walking, the other sadly, died.
Since money has been tight I've been buy the Hartz stuff instead of Advantage. I just threw it all away, I'll buy the Advantage stuff next week. Very sad story.

What does your vet have to say about it? It might be worth a phone call before you act on the word of a Kos Kid.

There was a story on this on TV recently. The list on the EPA site included ALL the brands of flea and tick stuff I had heard of. The stories, however, indicated more problems with older dogs. Tick-borne diseases can be pretty nasty, so we're kind of stuck. However, we tend to go a little over a month between applications, and currently use Frontline. (Had used Advantix occasionally depending on what the vet had.)
So far, no problems. The biggest problems are due to what the dogs eat in the yard.
So we're set to do underway SQUATS with the Newest Carrier, the USS George H.W. Bush for some practice approaches and connections for fueling underway.

Now that is just so cool! I would love to see any you can provide.

Thanks for reminding me to check the Paulian forums. This story seems like a bit hit with them today... Was Tiller's Murder a Staged, State-Sponsored Terror Attack?
There's a good chance that this shooting was done by an agent provocateur, in an attempt to advance the pro-abortion and anti-gun movement.
* No evidence has been presented that Roeder did the shooting.
* Roeder was 170 miles away when arrested.
* The police are continually telling us that Roeder is linked to militant anti-abortion groups, but at the same time tell us he acted alone, before the investigation has even started.
* Roeder has never been a member, volunteer or contributor to Operation Rescue.
* Roeder posted some comments on the Operation Rescue forum that are peaceful in nature.
* Roeder has no history of violence. Criminologists can tell you that it is very rare for non-violent people to suddenly become violent after the age of 50.
* Roeder opposed abortion, which is his right to believe.
* Roeder was pro-life, which contradicts the notion that he would kill someone.
* Roeder is being called a "lone nut", just like Lee Harvey Oswald and many other scapegoats of history.
We saw the first signs of conspiracy theories on the LGF thread this morning. Looks like it will take hold. Enjoy your July 4th Ron Paul rally.

The problem is I'm an engineer. So during UNREP's, I'm usually stuck down below at a "maneuvering" station, and can only come up for air every so often.

I was lucky having my work space compartment right next to one of the hanger bay elevators. Open the doors and see all the action from flight ops and UNREPs.

I saw ONE post about it, and the Lizard seemed to be dismissive of that.
There were one or two people here this morning talking about it being staged to justify the DHS memo. It looks like this is going to take hold.
That kind of thinking is all over Free Republic -- some of them say it outright, that the DHS probably killed Dr. Tiller in order to justify their report. Others use terms like "Reichstag fire." That one's very popular.

The reallly long ones are tough. Like the Suez Canal Transit, 14 hours (assuming we go straight through the lake in the middle) straight of Aft Steering, Engine Room, or Control Room duties.

I saw one comment that might be stretched to read that way - though I didn't. The material you quoted is - frankly - a bunch of idiots grasping at straws.
Portland is a very progressive city. I'm pretty sure a tea party here would attract maybe 20 people or so. I searched my zip code for political donations a while back. Only one Republican donation in my entire zip code.
I can't believe you would pass up the opportunity to do a little field research on your pet topic. I may start questioning your commitment to the cause.

I spent two years reproving nutsoid lefties about that meme after 9-11. Great. Just peachy.

Has most of the world gone insane?
First, the left went completely nuts by the end of the Bush administration and now the right wing.
It seems like the only sane people are here at LGF, and I'm not so sure about some of us. (No one I'll mention by name, unless they're already banned.)

I worked on avionics so my work space was air conditioned to near sub zero temps. During my one and only cruise to the Gulf leaving the space was a real problem since my glasses fogged up big time.
Nice pic Charles, I really like the clouds and colors in this one, it reminds me of the sky in a painting of the Battle of Gettysburg we used to have in the living room when I was young.
(no, it wasn't the original, it was a cheap street artist knock off of the original)
Yes, the world has gone insane. Flights of political fantasy that no writer would even dream of trying to sell are all over the place, now, and eagerly lapped up by people who won't exercise their reason as they would watching a movie.

Sounding exactly like the troofers after 9/11.

I’ve noticed a minor development in the story of Mahmoud Mashharawi.
As many will recall, Mahmoud Mashharawi was a boy, somewhere between 10 and 12 years old, who died on January 4, 2009, in Shifa Hospital in Gaza. CNN and BBC’s Channel 4 both broadcast stories about his death, featuring poignant video of the Shifa hospital staff’s attempts to save his life, video that was purportedly shot by Mahmoud’s own older brother Ashraf Mashharawi, a Palestinian filmmaker who happened to be working on another film project in the area on the day of his brother’s death. Both CNN and Channel 4 reported Palestinian claims that the boy and his cousin had been deliberately targeted by a drone-launched Israeli missile. Although they didn’t present any evidence of this, Channel 4 reported it as unchallenged fact, saying “Israel, equipped with the most technologically advanced guided missiles and video target selection that America can supply, had selected, targeted, and killed two more children in Gaza.” CNN, however, was evenhanded enough to report this only as a claim, and to add that “The Israel Defense Forces says it does not target civilians and that it is unaware of the incident in this report.”
The stories aired by CNN and Channel 4 contained footage of an obviously faked resuscitation scene at the hospital, in which medical personnel pretended to be trying to save the boy with chest compressions, without actually trying to do so. Additionally, it later surfaced that the doctor supervising the care of Mahmoud Mashharawi, Norwegian anti-Israel activist Mads Gilbert, was strongly affiliated with Vennskap Tromsø-Gaza (“Friendship Tromsø-Gaza), a Norwegian anti-Israel group from Gilbert’s home town of Tromsø that, at the time of the incident, had contracted with filmmaker Ashraf Mashharawi to produce an anti-Israel film which was to be shown in Norway.
On February 10, 2009, the Norwegian national TV station NRK, which dedicates much of its journalistic resources to producing anti-Israel propaganda, released part one of a video documentary about the event, which contained some new video that had been shot inside the hospital (though it conveniently edited out the obviously faked “chest compressions” scene).
Now for the new developments: at some point since I last checked, NRK posted a version of part 1 of the documentary, with English subtitles. You can see it here.
They also released “part two” of the documentary, which presents the results of laboratory studies that they commissioned, to attempt to prove that the boy’s death was the result of a deliberate Israeli attack on two little boys. You can see it, with English subtitles, here.
Somethig is going on, the Chicago media print & radio is going big time afgteer Roland Burris.
I thought that the dust had settled , but no.
I wonder if there is a perjury indictment coming down?
The new English subtitles in part one of the NRK documentary don’t reveal much that’s new about the hospital scenes, but they do reveal a few things. First of all, when I posted about the Norwegian-only version of Part One in February, I noted that some of the initial hospital scenes were clearly filmed by Dr. Mads Gilbert himself, not by Ashraf Mashharawi. At one point, he literally stabilizes the boy’s airway with one hand, while holding a video camera with the other. The subtitles now make clear that NRK admitted all along that Gilbert, not Ashraf Mashharawi, was doing the initial videotaping: “Mads Gilbert also films Mahmoud coming in.” (06:41) This is contrary to what CNN and Channel 4 originally implied.
There are two later hospital scenes that Gilbert actually appears in, so he couldn’t have filmed them. In one, Gilbert and his chest-compression-faking colleague, a big man in a white coat, play out a stiff, awkwardly overacted scene in which Gilbert appears to pronounce the boy dead. He disconnects the ventilator tubing, places his hand on the dead boy’s forehead, hangs his head dramatically for a while, and then calls for the boy’s father. The audio is cut off, but the subtitles now make it clear that Gilbert also said “the brother is here too” (02:05). They then explain that “his big brother Ashraf Mashharawi is waiting outside and will soon be told” (02:07). So Ashraf Mashharawi didn’t film this scene either. The fact that Gilbert referred to “the brother” rather than using Ashraf’s name suggests that it was someone other than a member of Ashraf’s film crew who filmed it.
The other hospital scene with Gilbert’s face in it is the deleted one with the faked chest compressions. I now realize that, as the patient is no longer connected to the ventilator in that scene, and he has a new blanket over his midsection and legs that wasn’t present in the “pronouncement of death” scene, the faked CPR scene was probably filmed after the “pronouncement of death” scene. In other words, after the medical staff had decided to stop trying to save Mahmoud, and after they had then played out the dramatic “pronouncement of death” scene with the boy’s dead body as a prop, they then decided as an afterthought to go back and stage a fake CPR scene.

This sounds almost identical to the bogus "Flaming Glade Plugin Air Freshener" story that has been circulating on the Internet for several years now.
Koko Taylor, the Grammy Award-winning "Queen of the Blues," died Wednesday afternoon at Northwestern Memorial Hospital of complications from surgery, according to Marc Lipkin of Alligator Records. She was 80.
Taylor, born Coral Walton on a sharecropper's farm outside Memphis, came to Chicago in 1952 and worked as a house cleaner. She began to sit in with blues bands and in the early 1960s signed a contract with Chess Records after being approached by Willie Dixon. In 1965 she recorded her signature song, "Wang Dang Doodle."

“Justice O’Connor has often been cited as saying that “a wise old man and a wise old woman reach the same conclusion in dueling cases. I am not so sure Justice O’Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes the line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, if Prof. Martha Minnow is correct, there can never be a universal definition of ‘wise.’ Second, I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experience would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion.”

This is threadworthy, IMHO. What a spectacularly disturbing idea. Hell, why not insist the al Qaeda be invited, too, while they're at it?!
The Secret Service must be absolutely thrilled at this.
Why do I start to get the feeling that Obama's much-vaunted Cairo speech might turn out to be an utter fiasco, with INVITED Islamists interrupting him to scream "death to America!"?

No more so than the Egyptian security forces. The last thing they want is a replay of what happened to Anwar el-Sadat' with President Mubarak, and the MB would be happy to supply them with exactly that.
I'm not really interested. I googled a little bit and it seems Code Pink (and probably a few Paulians) have been holding Tea Parties here for a while...

This was more along the lines of stuffing the kitten into a square glass bottle and letting it grow up in there. If you start 'em young, no pruning required.
They're not that far apart. I didn't watch the whole video (too annoying) but the people in colonial dress kept talking about liberty and the Constitution were probably Paulians. The oldest Tea Party reincarnations were 9-11 Truth things from about 2006.
Canon's SX2000 Looks like a great point and shoot. I've been using a Canon A590IS since retiring my old Sony. I like Canon's twilight and flash performance much better than Sony's. Might step up to a DSLR at some point.

On the plus side, it might be a "teachable moment" for The One. If he were to realize that, no matter how hard he tries to bend over backwards, there are some people who will hate us and wish to destroy us simply because we exist. And that said people include Him in the "us" they wish to exterminate.
Of course, this could also cause severe cognitive dissonance in The One- which he would probably "cure" by declaring even more loudly that Everything Is Our Fault.

There was one in Portland?
Wow. I thought they had outlawed everyone who wasn't an Obama lover there.
Actually, it filled Pioneer Courthouse Square, but there were the requisite, er, regulars on the Square.
Based on the Max ridership, I would say a lot of us were from the greater Metro area.
No more so than the Egyptian security forces. The last thing they want is a replay of what happened to Anwar el-Sadat' with President Mubarak, and the MB would be happy to supply them with exactly that.

You have to believe that security will be very tight. Obama could get a shoe thrown at him ala Bush, but I doubt it.
Actually, I expect a love fest & no threats at all to Obama.
No matter how it is received or what the reaction, you can count on Robert Gibbs' cheery spin that BHO had an astounding triumph overseas and reinstated the respect for America that had been squandered by the previous administration...

Agreed. CBS News was just talking about The One using his "Star Power" to woo the entire Muslim world. The guy was almost swooning.
/Somehow, I don't see the "Arab street" suddenly developing a collective man-crush on The One. Unlike the MSM.

That's also the law in the entire State of New Jersey, if I'm not mistaken.
(And yet, oddly, they have the lowest gas prices in the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast(ish) region...)
It is getting tedious. At some point Obama has to own the issues.
Did he inherit some problems? Sure he did, but in my opnion he has just expanded them through bad judgement & over inflated self image.

Bush had six or seven years to piss them off by preventing them from terrorizing American soil.
That's a lot of pissed off.
I have no use for Obama, but he's starting THIS game at a serious deficit.
That does not mean I think he is doing anything right ...
Here are some pics. Small but more than I would have guessed.
We showed up after it had started. I never saw the people in costume--too far into the center of the square, and it was too crowded by then. I remember the pitchfork with the tea bags.
I'm not going to zoom in on all 500 pictures, but I didn't see the two small Ron Paul signs I saw. (One was just leaning up against a wall.) I took a picture of one, then my camera died.
I think there were more people as the event wore on.

BBIAB, maybe. I am going to increase my carbon footprint for the day by purchasing factory-farmed extra-cruelty fossil-fuel prepared chicken, which I shall devour with the aid of tree-killing paper napkins and oil-wasting plastic cutlery. Perhaps I will imbibe a fat-taxable carbonated high-sugar no-food-value beverage as well. While the face on the sign outside the non-green facility will be an elderly male Caucasian, the employess shall be members of various downtrodden and exploited minority groups, up to and including Rotarians and UFOlogists. I imagine there may even be PAULIANS working there. I do not think Nazis eat chicken, however.

We tried the Hartz brand once.
All the animals went immediately berserk.
The dog acted like the doggie Hartz was burning him.
The cats ended up losing their hair at the cat Hartz application site.
We immediately washed it off of them, and have used nothing but Advantage or Frontline since.
