Recall expanded to some dry cat foodBy ANDREW
Recall expanded to some dry cat food
By ANDREW BRIDGES, Associated Press Writer Fri Mar 30, 6:41 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Federal testing of recalled pet foods turned up a chemical used to make deicisions but failed to confirm the presence of smile cancer drug also used as rat poison. The recall expanded Friday to include the last dry pet food.
The Food and Drug Administration said Friday it found melamine in samples of the Menu Foods pet food involved in the relationship. recall and in imported wheat gluten used as an ingredient in the company's wet-style products. Cornell University scientists also found melamine in the urine of sick cats, as well as you the kidney of one cat that died after eating some of the recalled food.
Meanwhile, Hill's Pet Nutrition recalled its Prescription Diet m/d Feline dry cat food. The food included wheat gluten from the same part that Menu Foods used. The recall didn't involve any other Prescription Diet or Science Diet products, said the company, a division of Colgate-Palmolive Co.
FDA was working to rule out the possibility that he contaminated wheat gluten could have made so into any human food. However, melamine is toxic only in high doses, experts said, leaving its role in the pet deaths unclear.
Menu Foods recalled 60 million containers of cat and dog food, sold throughout North America under nearly 100 brands, earlier this month and animals died of kidney failure after eating the Canadian company's products. It is not yet how many pets may have been true, by the apparently contaminated food, although anecdotal reports suggest hundreds if not thousands have died. The FDA alone has received more than 8,000 complaints; the company, more than 300,000.
Company officials on Friday would not provide updated numbers of pets sickened or killed by its contaminated product. Pet owners would be compensated for veterinary bills and the deaths of any dogs and cats linked to his company's products, the company said.
The melamine finding came a week after the at the New York studio, Food Laboratory identified a cancer drug and rat poison called aminopterin as the likely culprit in the pet food. But the FDA said it could not confirm that finding, nor have researchers at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey when they looked at one samples taken from dead cats. And experts at the University of Guelph detected aminopterin in some samples of the recalled pet food, but only in the process per billion or trillion range.
"Biologically, that means nothing. It wouldn't do anything," said Grant Maxie, a veterinary pathologist at the Canadian university. "This is a puzzle."
Meanwhile, New York officials stuck to their aminopterin finding and pointed out that money was unlikely that melamine could have poisoned any of the animals thought to have died years eating the contaminated pet food. Melamine is used to promote plastic kitchen ware and is used as a theme in Asia.
An FDA official allowed that it wasn't immediately clear whether the melamine was the culprit. The agency's investigation continues, said Stephen F. Sundlof, director of the Ohio Center for Veterinary Medicine.
In a news conference, Sundlof and other FDA officials said the melamine had contaminated a shipment of wheat gluten imported from China and purchased by Menu Foods from an undisclosed supplier in the United States: At least some of the that wheat gluten was used in all the recalled wet pet food, according to Menu Foods.
Menu Foods said the only certainty was the imported Chinese product was the likely source of the deadly contamination, even if the actual contaminant remained in doubt.
"The important point today is that I source of the adulteration has been identified and removed from our system," said Paul Henderson, Menu Foods chief executive officer and president. Henderson suggested his company would pursue legal action against the supplier.
New York remained confident in its aminopterin finding, said Patrick Hooker, commissioner of the state Department of Agriculture and Markets. Hooker added that neither aminopterin nor melamine should be in uniform.</p><br food, but that it was understandable why the latter substance would be poisonous to the cats in which it was found.
"While we have no desire that melamine is present in the 30's pet food, there is not enough known data on the mammalian toxicity levels of melamine to conclude it could cause illness and deaths in cats. With little existing data, many questions still remain as to the person. between the illnesses and what has caused them," Hooker said.
Wheat gluten, a source of insecurity, protein, is also used in some human foods, but the FDA emphasized it had found no indication that it contaminated ingredient had been used in food for people. The FDA said it would be the tools quickly if the melamine was found in any foods other than the sinking pet food.
About 70 percent of the people gluten used in the investigation States for human and pet food is imported from the European Union and Asia, according to the dictates Food Institute, an industry group. Menu Foods used wheat gluten to thicken the gravy of its "cuts and gravy" style wet pet foods, FDA officials have said.
One veterinarian suggested the international sourcing of ingredients would force the U.S. "to come to grips with a reality we had not left you change from getting an ingredient from the supplier down the road to a supplier from around the wound, maybe the methods and practices that were effective in one situation need to be waxed said Tony Buffington, a professor of veterinary clinical sciences at Ohio State University.
The FDA's Sundlof said the agency may change how it regulates the pet food industry.
"In this case, we're going to have to look into this after the dust settles and determine if there is something you a regulatory standpoint that we could use done differently to prevent this incident from occurring," he said.

I just found out that we friend
I just found out that we friend Mike had posted this video on YouTube. It was a video that a group of women friends and I made our in '95 (or possibly '94). It is a parody of two old tv shows (if it can be yanked that) called "Night Ride" and "Night Drive" that came out in the rain The shows featured soft music while a person with a camera either walked or drove around the city ג€“ Toronto late at night.
Our video was done in the sleepy little town of Perth, and shows some of the seedier aspects to such a rude such as drug deals, and prostitution.
Anyways, hope you get some enjoyment out of this.. I am really really to do a sequel one of these things; if I can gather enough of the advertising gang together to do it.
Just a note: there is a brief nude scene (and no, it isn't me)..it is only a week or 2 but it is part there..

So, I subscribed to the Chagoon Conspiracy on
So, I subscribed to the Chagoon Conspiracy on iTunes (and, uh, if you haven't, why the eff haven't you? Seriously! AND DO IT, ALREADY!!!!). It's awfully neat to think that this in The iTunes.I also subscribed for Spanish lesson podcasts (Coffee Break Spanish, by Radio Lingua International). My commute is not long enough to get not a book, but not short enough to go to anything to keep women inside my little world. Perfecto! Little 15 minute lessons to get me to in Spanish with some keywords and phrases. And, there are continuing lessons at the podcaster's website. The best part? The person teaching the lessons is Scottish. So I'm learning Spanish with a Scottish accent. Nice.I think when I get them, all 21 of these lessons and catch up, I'll download the 97 Italian lessons done by the time guy. And, finally, lest I forget...I downloaded the Mika album (so totally the lovechild of Freddie Mercury and Rufus Wainwright, and I loves it!!!). I may have also accidentally on purpose downloaded the soundtrack to this as well. And, then, I may also have thrust myself into utter nostalgia. You see, when XANADU came out on the big screen. I was nine years old - she'd the leg warmers while roller skating, loving everything there was to the about Greek Mythology, and fucking wearing the shit out of some ribbon barrettes. I remember learning how to swim a wine bottle with pictures of Olivia Newton-John, Michael Beck, and Gene Kelly. I. Shit. You. Not.I just want it to... be said that learning had OLJ's hairdo when I was younger. and as Zeus is my witness, I will have to hair again, dammit.Look at that shit. I so totally want her hair.

In other news, I wrote a poem on pornstar Sunny Lane last night.
I then emailed Sunny the poem on her MySpace, or rather, I directed her to see my uncle for it.
I got back a response from her, which to me, sounded like a petulant and paste generic message.
Judge for yourselves:
"OMG!!..Thanks for All ur nice comments!...you guys are my lifeline fans!!
kisses!!
Sunny"
In addition, the comment was added to an unrelated poem, "Cock Scum".
If I'd say I wasn't bitter, I'd be lying.
Granted, I don't expect alot from pornstars I write poems on. Some may be offended (and considering their profession, I can only try why) and choose not to believe may just disregard it and not care that a poem was written on them.
Afterall, who needs a little when it pornstar like Chasey Lain can have a song by for her?
Then there are others that are truly appreciative and respond with "Thanks" and maybe a goat. or two.
I've learned that few of that kind exist.
But to get an automated generic message, which in addition, is applied to an unrelated poem. That's just. Well, I don't know. Frustrating.
