This Blog is a digital journal for two cute pooches, Casey (A White Color Shih Tzu Dog Mix) & Peanut (A Brown Dachshund Dog Mix) who are both two complete opposites who have nothing in common except this blog and same owners.
In 2007 and 2008, much of the industrialized world entered into a deep recession.[2][3] Contributors to this downturn included high oil prices, high food prices, the collapse of a substantial housing bubble which sparked an interrelated credit crisis. Many large and well established investment banks as well as commercial banks in many nations around the world suffered massive losses and even faced bankruptcy. It was argued that huge increases in commodity and asset prices came as a consequence of an extended period of easily available credit and the primary cause of the downturn was exceptionally financial.[4] This crisis has led to increased unemployment, and other signs of contemporaneous economic downturns in major economies of the world.
In December 2008, the NBER declared that the United States had been in recession since December 2007, and several economists expressed their concern that there is no end in sight for the downturn.[5] The recession could be the worst since the Great Depression of the 1930s.[6][7]
Today ...... The World Economy is Worsening!!!! with no signs of improvements, ....Even Animals are also hit, left by the owner
POOR CREATURES..... TO WHOM WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR MONEY????

Where do you go to find a pet friendly resort? One of the best places to look is to search the internet. By starting this way you have all the resorts in front of you and can read about each resort to decide which one is best for you and your pet.
For many of us our pets are like our children and just like any other parent we can't imagine going on vacation without our pets. Luckily, there are over 40,000 pet friendly resorts around the world that let you bring your furry friend with you.
There are some things that you need to consider before heading to a pet friendly resort. Because it is pet friendly, other dogs have been there. If your dog is sensitive to the smells of other dogs, take along blankets from home so that they can sleep and nap among familiar smells. Ask if your pet is allowed on all parts of the property or if they have areas designated for dogs. Follow those rules as their might be people traveling without pets who don't want doggy kisses while they are sunbathing.
What can you expect to find at a pet friendly resort? Many of the resorts are just like any other hotel except they allow dogs to be in the room with you. You will have to provide food and other necessities for your dog. However, some pet friendly resorts cater to pooches. They might have their own bed, their own menu filled with doggy treats and areas at the resort that are strictly for pets to play such as a pet park. There might be someone on staff who can walk your dog and take them to potty if you have to go somewhere that does not allow dogs. While you are gone they shouldn't be bored as some resorts have movies for dogs or TV channels for dogs.
Whether you want to travel overseas, the beach, the mountains or the next state you should be able to find a pet friendly resort so that your four legged children can vacation with you. If you want to stay at a place that isn't on the list of pet friendly resorts, call and ask them if they accept pets. Some resorts have a couple of rooms that they just use for guests with pets even though they don't advertise this. So, pack your pooch's bag because wherever you go he will be going with you.
So ... the next time you decide to go for a vacation with your family .... please do not forget your four legged children .... bring them along to Pet Friendly Resorts
The bone marrow or stem cell transplant, a procedure that every year saves tens of thousands of lives and won for the Seattle physician who pioneered it the 1990 Nobel Prize in Medicine, appears poised to come full circle and finally become more widely available to those who first made it all possible.
Dogs.
"They helped us figure out how to help save ourselves, and so this represents a big giveback to the canine species," said Dr. Jeffrey Bryan, a veterinary oncologist at Washington State University.
Bryan is spearheading a project to soon launch what would be the world's first large-scale clinical transplant program for dogs. The program is expected to become available to treat dogs with lymphoma sometime this summer.
Bone marrow transplants had been done experimentally in dogs over the decades, Bryan said, and clinically for a few dogs by some pioneering private-practice veterinarians.
Dozens of pet owners came down to the Dog Pound last week to have their cats and dogs vaccinated at the annual Rabies Clinic.
Every year Saugus Animal Control Officer Harold Young and other Essex County dog officers set aside the first Wednesday in May to invite pet owners to bring their animals in for rabies updates.
The world of choosing a pet can be overwhelming and full of daunting decisions. Land or water? Caged or free? Hairy or scaly? One of the largest factors in pet selection is the age of the pet owner. Although it is ultimately up to personal preference, some pets may be more suitable for a certain age group than others.
Young children are often initially overwhelmingly excited about owning their first pet. It's like a whirlwind romance — complete with a giddy courtship that levels off into a general liking or, unfortunately, a slow disdain. But children this age don't understand the long-term commitment involved in owning a pet.
Automatic Form-Filling and Password Management Software - Robo Form Pro
If you are like me ..... very forgetful .... then RoboForm Software is a must .....
Someone once told me ..... I would even forget my head .... if it was not attached to my body ..... :)
Dear Readers .... we introduce to you .... the proven and legendary RoboForm ......
RoboForm was awarded the prestigious Editor's Choice Award by PC Magazine on May 25, 2005.
Here are some of the top comments from various Popular Sources ....
In January 2008 RoboForm was recognized as "Top 25 Products We Can't Live Without" "Hands down, ...RoboForm is the best tool for storing user names, passwords, and other contact data for Web sites." Steve Bass, PC World
"Like me, you probably have more usernames and passwords than you can remember. Let RoboForm recall them for you." Grace Aquino, Bloomberg January 2008
Wayne Cunningham of CNET Download.com declares in his newsletter: "One of the basic tools that offers undisclosed power... I highly recommend it." RoboForm is declared "The Best of 2003 -- Most Practical Program" by CNET.
M-Systems (now part of SanDisk) declared RoboForm2Go (Pass2Go) to be the winner of M-systems' Essential U3 Application Award in 2006.
Lee Gomes of Wall Street Journal says: "Easy to use and without any hidden spyware... Innovative, lean, useful product."
Mike Himowitz of the Baltimore Sun writes: "RoboForm... is the Rolls-Royce of this [password manager] category."
Joel Bruckenstein of MorningStar Advisors says: "RoboForm2Go [Portable RoboForm] software has performed flawlessly. It is portable, so I can take my passwords and bookmarks anywhere."
Tucows, a major shareware and freeware site, gives Five Cows to RoboForm and makes it Head Of The Herd.
One of the hardest parts of entering online sweepstakes is typing your personal information into entry forms over and over (and over!) again. Roboform is an elegant solution to this problem.
Simply type your personal information into this program, and you will be able to automatically fill forms with a single click of your mouse. You'll save an enormous amount of time and energy, and be able to enter more sweepstakes than ever before.
You can even save individual entry forms, so that if you return to enter again, all of your opt-in fields and other information can be entered with a click.
This vastly simplifies daily entries. If you have more than one sweeper in your home, you can store separate information in identities, meaning that each person can enter quickly and easily.
RoboForm Pro 6.0 retains the intelligent field-matching ability of previous versions and adds a cleaner, simpler user interface. It masterfully handles filling in Web forms and logging on to secure sites. You'll be amazed at how much you don't have to type when RoboForm is on the job.
ReviewRoboForm Pro 6.0 (formerly AI RoboForm), from Siber Systems, makes filling in Web forms and entering passwords both effortless and safe. Clicking on a Passcard navigates to a secure site and logs on automatically. The program stores various types of personal information in Identities and... click here for full review
RoboForm Pro allows multiple people to store sensitive information on the same computer or for a little extra, you can order RoboForm2Go and take your passwords with you on a flash disk.
The practical features on RoboForm Pro are extensive, and the Safenote function is one of the most useful and impressive. The Safenote feature works like a notebook. As a whole RoboForm Pro works as a password manager and notebook. It not only saves email passwords, but also valuable information like bank PINs, appointments or meetings. When you save a password into the system RoboForm Pro automatically files it into your “Passcards” list. From there it is just point and click. Additionally, all password information can be printed, so you can store a hard copy.
RoboForm Pro automatically appears on your Internet toolbar and creates an icon in the bottom tray. Clearly labeled features make this software easy to navigate. Every time you create a new password and user login on a website, RoboForm Pro will prompt to save and store the new information. No matter how many different passwords and usernames you create, they are safely stored and you’ll never forget another password again.
There are so much more review ...... but dont take oour word for it ..... try it free ..... download a free trial here
OTTAWA -- Pets travelling on Air Canada are being bumped up from cargo to checked baggage starting Sunday, as the window closes to appeal a tribunal ruling that deemed the cargo rule unreasonable for pet owners.
Air Canada is quietly making the change one day before it is required by law to reverse its pet policy, instituted last June. The change relegated pets weighing less than 70 pounds to cargo, giving them lower priority than baggage and mail.
But on the eve of the policy change, the airline had yet to change its online promotional materials and continued to tell customers that their pets could only fly cargo.
...... that sounds like great news ..... "eh" fellow Pet Owners ...... "Now Every Pet Can Fly Normal" .....

TaxSaya is an application software developed as an alternative for tax payers to fill tax information and calculate their LHDN income tax return. It is downloadable to your local hard drive and runs without the need of internet connection, just like using Excel, Word and so on.
TaxSaya is a brainchild of an MSC-status company, EA-Link System, which is a software house with expertise in developing solutions for the Malaysian tax industry since the last 5 years.
Presently, to submit your LHDN income tax, you can do so through 2 main methods: Filling up your tax form (e.g. Borang BE 2007 or Borang B) manually Use e-Filing i.e. online tax submission via web-based application
Now, you have TaxSaya as another option. But you must understand here that TaxSaya is not an absolute substitute for either of the above (Yes, you can use the TaxSaya form to fill up your tax information, print out the form (TaxSaya is essentially the BE form, only perhaps in a better interface), and send it to LHDN, but with some catch. Read on).
What it offers is a step by step guide and gives you perhaps an easier and more user friendly interface, rather than skimming through the original LHDN tax form which at times can be mind boggling.
TaxSaya comes with its own attractive features. The most interesting part of the software is the English and Chinese languages it offers, as opposed to only Bahasa Melayu for the normal LHDN tax form (Yes, isn’t a wonder why LHDN does not produce form in multiple languages for a multi-lingual country?).
As you fill up the section of the form, the software will, in the end automatically calculate the amount of tax payable without you having to go through the hassle of calculating your tax.
So, what have you got to loose ..... 4 more days to Income Tax Submission Date line .....
"Banana Hands" Tony Robbins is sueing "The OptiMINDzer" Stephen Pierce ..... say what ???? ..... thats right, you hear it right dear readers .....
This two so called Motivational, inspirational, Money & Success Coahing Guru .... and so called "Good Buddies" are now in a Law Suit Battle ......
Say what ..... that's right, from Buddies to Law Suit ....
.......""In the lawsuit, "Banana Hands" Robbins claims the wife of Stephen Pierce -- the other motivational dude -- used a small camera to record almost 50 minutes of a speech Stephen gave at one of Robbins' seminars. Pierce then posted the video on his website, and encouraged his readers to skip Robbins' $8,000 seminar and buy his video instead. Self-help yourself, folks!The firewalking guru is also claiming that Pierce posted a fraudulent statement on his website claiming that he got permission from Robbins to film the speech and make it available for public sale.Robbins is suing for all profits Pierce made via the unlawful use of Robbins' likeness. Calls to Pierce's camp were not returned.""".......
is this for real ..... or this is another one of Their Publicity Stunts to attract and gather hype, publicity and tons of FREE Traffic and visitors to their websites ...... :)
Its a free software, that helps you automate the Tax filling process and the Paid version will Optimize your Income tax return ..... hurry .... you have 4 days to the date line ....
Just a note to all usgin E-Filling, kindly read the alert by our fellow blogger (Sabahan.com ) Kindly note that this incident happened about a year ago (Apirl 2007)
....... extract for article .......
"Unfortunately, Rickey of WattaHack has written an alarming post regarding a serious security flaw he discovered while filling his tax returns via LHDN e-Filing recently. He was shocked to find he was able to see the other tax payers account details after clicking the “Save & Continue” button. It looks like this is a simple cookies permission problem or perhaps database related problem but I don’t know for sure. If that’s the case, it seems to me the developers were either not fully qualified or didn’t do enough testing before the system went live. The security flaw was discovered on 7 April, I am not sure if it has been fixed at the time of this writing but two days after the discovery, the flaw was still in the wild. A person named Najlah Ishak who claimed to be the Public Relations Officer for LHDNM did post a comment where she asked to be contacted at 019-222 0034. What I find unsettling was that we don’t know if Najlah really works for LHDN. She could be an impersonator trying to take advantage of the situation. If she is the real Public Relations Officer, she should have made it easier for the blogger to report the problem by giving her official contact number or LHDN email address. "......
.....
This year I am going to use the e-filing system again and I really hope it is as secure as they made us believe. Update: This problem has been fixed.
Although the problem is reported as fixed ..... but for security, it is advisable to use the traditional way, manual submission.......
However, nowadays, you can either pay someome to do it, or invest in a software that can help you optimized and get the most of your return like the popular Taxsaya software..... best of all .... its FREE
Katherine, of Atlanta, is only eight and is very shy.
The moment she saw Rocky's picture on the Internet, it was love at first sight.
Making a difference in this world can come in all shapes and sizes, like the difference Katherine Hawkins has made in Rocky's life.
"She looked at the dogs on there, she saw Rocky and that was it," said her mother, Suzanne Hawkins. "She had to have him. She fell in love."
Rocky needed surgery. He'd been hit by a car and his broken leg was never treated by his previous owners.
So to prove her love, Katherine raised the money, first with her allowance, then by selling cookies.
"You cannot resist a little 8-year-old girl holding this envelope saying would you please give money to help this dog that's been run over," said Suzanne.
.... a great philanthropist in the making indeed!!
ny1.Bill Gates Wants to Share His Fortune With You-Fiction! (HOAX Email)
Summary of the eRumor: According to this message, Microsoft founder Bill Gates want to make sure that his Internet Explorer browser remains on top. So, Microsoft and AOL are doing an "email beta test." If you forward their email to your friends over the next two weeks, you'll get money in the mail.
The Truth: This is a hoax. Neither Microsoft nor AOL is participating. Plus, there is no system being used on the Internet to track forwarded emails in order to compensate those who forward them. It's become one of the most widely circulated hoaxes on the Internet.
Message Body Dear Friends,
Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.
When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period.
For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00.
Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque.
Regards.
Chinu! I thought this was a scam myself, but two weeks after receiving this e-mail and forwarding it on, Microsoft contacted me for my address and within days, I received a cheque for US$24,800.00.
You need to respond before the beta testing is over. If anyone can afford this Bill Gates is the man. It's all marketing expense to him.
Please forward this to as many people as possible. You are bound to get at least US$10,000.00.
Description: This email scam weaves a fraudulent tale of a baby named Natalie who has brain cancer. It asks the email recipient to forward the said mail to other users and for each email that is sent out, the supposedly ailing child will receive a 5-cent donation. This email is clearly a scam and recipients of the said mail should delete it, disregard its contents, and NOT forward it to other email users.
Original Message: Hello, My name is Krista Marie and I have a new born baby named Natalie. She means the world to me, and just resently, the doctors have discovered that my little Natalie has Brain Cancer. Unfortunatly my husband and I don't have the money to pay for the bill. But my husband and I have worked out a deal with AOL and they have agreed to give us 5cents to each person that recived this e-mail. So please, forward this to everyone you know, and help out my little Natalie and I. -Krista Marie
