now there is a fda recall on dog treats, pig ears?
Question by darlin12009: now there is a fda recall on dog treats, pig ears?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — North Bergen, NJ — March 23, 2007 — Petrapport, Inc. is voluntarily recalling pig ear dog treats it imported from a Chilean company during the period August 2006 through December 2006 because the pig ears have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious infections in dogs, and, if there is cross contamination, young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Laboratory testing has confirmed that samples of Full-Cut Pig Ears dog treats sold by BJ’s Wholesale Club in 25-count packages under the “Berkley & Jensen” brand with no lot number and only the expiration advisory “BEST IF USED BY 2009” (without referencing a specific month) were contaminated with Salmonella. Additional testing of other pig ear dog treats from shipments during the above time period has not revealed any additional evidence of Salmonella contamination, but Petrapport nonetheless is voluntarily recalling them out of an abundance of caution due to concern that the pig ears imported during this period may not have been effectively irradiated for Salmonella before shipment from Chile.
The voluntary recall includes dog treats sold by BJ’s Wholesale Club in its 25-count packages of “Berkley & Jensen” Full-Cut Pig Ears dog treats with no lot number and only the expiration advisories “BEST IF USED BY 2009” (without referencing a specific month) as well as “BEST IF USED BY SEPTEMBER 2009,” “BEST IF USED BY OCTOBER 2009,” “BEST IF USED BY NOVEMBER 2009,” and “BEST IF USED BY DECEMBER 2009.”
Also included within this voluntary recall are the following lots of pig ear dog treats sold in bulk by other retailers under the “Petrapport” brand:

Salmonella can potentially be transferred to people handling these dog treats, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the product or any surfaces exposed to these products. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Dogs that become ill from Salmonella generally will have a fever and diarrhea that may contain blood or mucus. Affected animals may seem more tired that usual, and may have vomiting. Some dogs do not have diarrhea, but will have decreased appetite, fever and excess salivation. If your dog has consumed the recalled product and is exhibiting these signs, please contact your veterinarian.
While there have been no confirmed illnesses to date, consumers should immediately stop feeding these treats to their dogs. These products have been removed from the sales floors and the sales inventories of all retailers.
Consumers who purchased any of the above-identified pig ear dog treats should discontinue use of the products and may return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers who have further questions may contact Petrapport at 800-447-3872 extension 110.

What’s up with all these stupid celebrity questions all of a sudden?
Question by laura: What’s up with all these stupid celebrity questions all of a sudden?
They come on here and ask stupid questions that they already know the answer to or something about politics that there really isn’t an answer for. They ask one question and never come back, never answer anyone else’s questions, never post any official questions that aren’t designed to make them look good or make them look like they care about what the general public has to say. Does anyone else think this is stupid?

Interior Design… Develop Portfolio??
Question by Michelle B: Interior Design… Develop Portfolio??
I’ve recently decided to change my major to interior design and the college im planning on attending requires a portfolio review..
How do i go about developing a portfolio? i feel so stupid for having to ask something like this, but o well..
I plan on calling and getting more information..
is the portfolio going to be based off work i do in the college art classes?
i’m starting to get really nervous about this bc i feel so inexperienced but other ppl are in the same place right? we’re not already expected to know EVERYTHING..

Answer by Andrew L
Your last paragraph is right on. The reviewers of the portfolio are looking to see what kind of person you are as an artist. Put in past and current work that you think best represents the creative person you are or want to be and you’ll do just fine. No one is expecting you to have interior design work in your portfolio, especially if you are an undergraduate.
Don’t worry. Everyone else is in the same boat, and the reviewers will appreciate seeing work from non-interior design classes. Think about the experience you want the portfolio readers to have when they are reviewing your work. Make sure the layout is clean and clear. Think about page size, etc. Plan ahead…figure out where you’re going to print it, what kind of paper is best, and so on.

If humans are created via intelligent design, why are we so flawed?
Question by Nice guy: If humans are created via intelligent design, why are we so flawed?
Supposedly humans are the crown of creation. However, if one compares humans with animals, the only component that sticks out is our brain. In all other aspects, our body is at best mediocre compared to animals. Our senses are not well developed and even if we train them we never get close to most animals. Our immune system is crap; animals are on average much healthier that we are and we even have doctors to keep certain trouble away from us. Our skeleton is not made for upright walking and brings us back pain and other trouble with great regularity. Even our brain is not well designed since we only use a fraction of it. Among humans, good design requires talent and experience and a deep understanding of the nature of the object to be designed. Supposedly God, if infinite, should have all of these traits without limits. However, if we humans are the product of intelligent design by a God, then it appears to me that the result is mediocre at best. Take the human eye. Often cited as evidence for intelligent design, even we humans have come up with artificial eyes that are far superior to the human eye. So if we supposedly are evidence for intelligent design, my respect for the designer has just dropped a notch. As I designer, I would try to use the best components for my design, and not just for one part of it, unless I have a restricted budget.
