IMPORTANT: Pet Food Recall

FitSugar — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 07:30:00 -0700

I am sick and tired of dealing with recalls, after the Oscar Mayer Chicken and the contact lens solution. Now 90 brands of pet food are being tied to kidney failure in cats and dogs. I believe in creating a fit family and that includes the pets!!!

On Saturday, Menu Foods, a Canada-based company recalled 50 brands of dog food and 40 brands of cat food. This includes pet food made by Iams, Nutro, and Eukanuba.

An unknown number of cats and dogs have suffered kidney failure, and already 10 have died after eating the affected food. As a precaution, Nestle Purina PetCare Company and Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc. voluntarily recalled some of their pet food that was made by Menu Foods.

The pet foods that were recalled were made with wheat gluten that had been purchased from a new supplier. There is suspicion that this could be the cause, but nothing has been determined yet.

The "cuts and gravy" style products sold in cans and pouches are among some of the affected products. Consumers are being advised to stop using these and the others on the list.

Menu Foods makes 17 of the 20 top pet foods in the North American pet foods. If you're concerned about which products have been recalled, you can check out the Menu Foods website for a complete list.

Fit's Tips: If you have been feeding your pet any of the foods on the list, and they seem to have a loss of appetite, are vomiting, or just not acting like himself or herself, take them to the vet immediately to get checked out.

Whitney Houston Lists Her Round House

CasaSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:57:15 -0700

Whitney Houston has put her 12,561-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-and-one-half-bath Mendham, NJ, house on the market for $2.5 million. The most notable element of the house, which was featured on her short-lived reality show Being Bobby Brown, is that it's entirely round. It also has soaring ceilings and beautiful natural light, but if you have a thing for angles, this house won't do. According to the listing, it was built in 1992, while Real Estalker says Houston snapped up the mansion at the height of her fame in 1987. But regardless, it looks pretty '80s to me! I do like her Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired glass panes, but the vertical blinds, peach-colored décor, and drapey window valances are beyond tacky. Take a look at the photos, and tell me what you think when you read more.

Jennifer Aniston stepped onto the set of The Bounty looking like she was ready for bed in New Jersey yesterday. This sexy nightie is a new outfit for her character after we've gotten particularly familiar with her business casual look. Jennifer is famous for her always perfectly tousled hair and soon she'll be showing off her vocal chords too. Most of you are looking forward to hearing her sing in Goree Girls though maybe she'll find time for a quick vacation before diving right into her next project.

NJ Woman Bakes Her Way Out of Foreclosure

SavvySugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:30:40 -0700

Mortgage apple cakes are the tastiest thing on the menu for one New Jersey homeowner. Angela Logan must make a $2,559.54 payment on July 26 if she wants to keep her home of 20 years out of foreclosure, and because of a successful bake sale it looks like she'll meet the deadline.

Logan cooked up the idea to sell apple cakes for $40 each in order to pay her mortgage, and as of Tuesday, she had more than 500 orders, including one from Hong Kong. A health official warned her that it's illegal to use her house as a commercial kitchen, but Hilton Hasbrouck Heights is allowing Logan to use its kitchen, where she's able to bake 10 cakes at a time.

The actress/stand-up comedian blames her financial troubles on a home improvement project that went wrong, and the fact that several of her paychecks were frozen when one of her talent agencies shut down. Logan is now studying to become a nurse to have a more secure career, and says she "won't stop baking until people stop ordering."

City Officials Fail to Prevent Porn Star Invasion

TresSugar — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:00:00 -0700

The Exxxotica Expo opened today in Edison, NJ, for the second year in a row, meaning that blushing city officials failed in their attempt to prevent the porn convention from coming to town.

The city, hell-bent on keeping local fans from meeting their favorite porn stars, passed an ordinance that prohibited sexually oriented products at gatherings within 1,000 feet of a school, church, hospital, or playground. Only problem? The convention is being held more than 1,000 feet from any of those sites. Score one for the porn stars.

The city's focus on the annual convention borders on an obsession. It's become a major issue in the town's mayoral race, and one candidate produced ads that say: "Mayor Candidate Says YES to PORNO!" The candidate under fire for not getting on board the anti-porn convention train responded by saying, "No, it's not something that I would personally approve of. By the same token, I don't think we should be foisting our personal values upon everyone else, unless they're harmful.”

Do you agree, or would you be bothered if a porn convention came to town?

It's All Fun and Games For Gerard and Jennifer in Atlantic City

PopSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:30:56 -0700

Jennifer Aniston was back on the set of The Bounty in Atlantic City today, though this time around she was joined by her costar Gerard Butler. The on-screen pair kept things professional while they worked, and it looks like their rumored secret rendezvous were business meetings rather than romantic ones. Instead, things might be heating up between Jen and another one of her leading men.

Who Has the Longest and Shortest Commutes in the US

SavvySugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 04:30:10 -0700

Southern California is notorious for its insane traffic; drivers there might be pulling out their hair, but the average commuting time is surprisingly not the worst in the nation. The US Census Bureau declared that commuters from East Stroudsburg, PA spend the longest time getting to work, averaging 40.6 minutes each way, typically driving to their jobs in the NYC area.

Other commuters who work in NYC can empathize; residents in White Plains, NY and Wayne, NJ have the second-longest commute, averaging 36.9 minutes. Those times are much greater than the national average of 25.5 minutes. On the flip side, the shortest commute goes to Grand Forks, ND where workers drive an average 14.3 minutes to work, followed by Cheyenne, WY (14.9 minutes) and Roswell, NM (15.7 minutes).

How long does it take you to get to and from the office?

PopSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:30:19 -0700

Gisele was recently spotted nesting up in Boston as she gets ready for her and Tom's December arrival, but this weekend she was in NYC's Washington Square Park to take on a new job. The glowing supermodel was named a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Environment Programme. Gisele is thrilled about her role and said, "I have been working on environmental issues for a long time and agreed to become a Goodwill Ambassador to be part of a global and far-reaching organization. Now it's about action on a global scale to secure a healthy future for the next generation, wherever they live in the world." While Gisele was out doing good, Tom was in NJ for his game against the Jets which ended up being his first regular season loss since 2006. Gisele is also working on another new project - she is apparently taking helicopter flying lessons on her way to becoming a licensed pilot.
