Great American
On Great American Dog I heard that Galaxy got hurt how is the dog doing?

I thought I read that Galaxy got hurt last week on Great American dog,but I cannot find on any website how she is doing. I used to like to watch this show but I have found that some of the wrong dogs got voted off and the judges were really not fair.

Not sure…the show was filmed several months ago, so I’m sure she’s doing fine now.
Also, at victoriastilwell.com’s forum, it’s been revealed that her injury came from a game of fetch after the challenge, not the challenge itself.

I used to like this show as well, but I think the challenges have gotten out of hand and the judges have been unfair. Look at Bill and Star – first he isn’t challenging her enough, then last week he challenged her too much, this week he didn’t challenge her enough again and they got eliminated. Star and Andrew were the smart ones to not jump – how were they supposed to know that there was a harness attached to them? What if the next time one of the other dogs is on a high platform, say a balcony, and they jump believing everything will be okay – but there isn’t a harness attached to them?

Added: I also found this from the American Humane:

“American Humane received many concerns regarding the limping dog. This dog did not display any signs of distress, nor did it limp following the challenge. It is our understanding from the show veterinarian that, after American Humane left the set and the contestants were taking their break before the taping of the judging segment, the owner, J.D., was playing Frisbee with his dog, Galaxy. During that play session, the dog came up lame. The dog was seen in the edited show limping without explanation, giving the impression that the limp was perhaps due to the stunt challenge. Again, it is editing that lends itself to the difference between audience perception and reality, as well as the desire of the producers to heighten the drama of the show. Audiences will find further veterinary explanation in future episodes.”

You can read the whole thing on how they ensured none of the dogs were hurt:

The Great American Symphony


The Great American Symphony


$21.2


The years of the Great Depression, World War II, and their aftermath brought a sea change in American music. This period of economic, social, and political adversity can truly be considered a musical golden age. In the realm of classical music, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber, Howard Hanson, Virgil Thompson, and Leonard Bernstein — among others — produced symphonic works of great power and lasting beauty during these troubled years. It was during this critical decade and a half that contemporary writers on American culture began to speculate about “the Great American Symphony” and looked to these composers for music that would embody the spirit of the nation. In this volume, Nicholas Tawa concludes that they succeeded, at the very least, in producing music that belongs in the cultural memory of every American. Tawa introduces the symphonists and their major works from the romanticism of Barber and the “all-American” Roy Harris through the theatrics of Bernstein and Marc Blitzstein to the broad-shouldered appeal of Thompson and Copland. Tawa’s musical descriptions are vivid and personal, and invite music lovers and trained musicians alike to turn again to the marvelous and lasting music of this time.

The Great American Mission


The Great American Mission


$24.95


The Great American Mission traces how America’s global modernization efforts during the twentieth century were a means to remake the world in its own image. David Ekbladh shows that the emerging concept of modernization combined existing development ideas from the Depression. He describes how ambitious New Deal programs like the Tennessee Valley Authority became symbols of American liberalism’s ability to marshal the social sciences, state planning, civil society, and technology to produce extensive social and economic change. For proponents, it became a valuable weapon to check the influence of menacing ideologies such as Fascism and Communism. Modernization took on profound geopolitical importance as the United States grappled with these threats. After World War II, modernization remained a means to contain the growing influence of the Soviet Union. Ekbladh demonstrates how U.S.-led nation-building efforts in global hot spots, enlisting an array of nongovernmental groups and international organizations, were a basic part of American strategy in the Cold War. However, a close connection to the Vietnam War and the upheavals of the 1960s would discredit modernization. The end of the Cold War further obscured modernization’s mission, but many of its assumptions regained prominence after September 11 as the United States moved to contain new threats. Using new sources and perspectives, The Great American Mission offers new and challenging interpretations of America’s ideological motivations and humanitarian responsibilities abroad.

Great American Prose Poems


Great American Prose Poems


$13.99


A prose poem is a poem written in prose rather than verse. But what does that really mean? Is it an indefinable hybrid? An anomaly in the history of poetry? Are the very words “prose poem” an oxymoron? This groundbreaking anthology edited by celebrated poet David Lehman, editor of The Best American Poetry series, traces the form in all its dazzling variety from Poe and Emerson to Auden and Ashbery and on, right up to the present. In his brilliant and lucid introduction, Lehman defines the prose poem, summarizes its French heritage, and outlines its history in the United States. Included here are important works from masters of American literature, as well as poems by contemporary mainstays and emerging talents who demonstrate why the form has become an irresistible option for the practicing poet today. Great American Prose Poems is a marvelous collection, a must-have for anyone interested in the current state of the art.

Four Great American Classics


Four Great American Classics


$4.99


These four landmark novels of nineteenth-century American literature have gained a permanent place in our culture as great classics. They are not only part of our national heritage, but masterpieces of world literature whose deep and lasting influence is felt to this day.

Great American Hoteliers


Great American Hoteliers


$7.49


During the thirty years prior to the Civil War, Americans built hotels larger and more ostentatious than any in the rest of the world. These hotels were inextricably intertwined with American culture and customs but were accessible to average citizens. As Jefferson Williamson wrote in "The American Hotel" ( Knopf 1930), hotels were perhaps "the most distinctively American of all our institutions  for they were nourished and brought to flower solely in American soil and borrowed practically nothing from abroad".  Development of hotels was stimulated by the confluence of travel, tourism and transportation. In 1869, the transcontinental railroad engendered hotels by Henry  Flagler, Fred Harvey, George Pullman and Henry Plant. The Lincoln Highway  and the Interstate Highway System triggered hotel development by Carl Fisher, Ellsworth Statler, Kemmons Wilson and Howard Johnson. The airplane stimulated Juan Trippe, John Bowman, Conrad Hilton, Ernest Henderson, A.M. Sonnabend and John Hammons.. My research into the lives of these great hoteliers reveals that none of them grew up in the hospitality business but became successful through their intense on-the- job experiences. My investigation has uncovered remarkable and startling true stories about these pioneers, some of whom are well-known and others who are lost in the dustbin of history.

The first and greatest book of regional American cuisine, now revised for today’s home cook. Imagine a person with the culinary acumen of Julia Child, the inquisitiveness of Margaret Mead, and the daring of Amelia Earhart. This is Clementine Paddleford, America’s first food journalist.

The Great American Cookbook is the culmination of Paddleford’s career. A best seller when first published in 1960 as How America Eats , this coveted classic has been out of print for thirty years. Here are more than 500 of Paddleford’s best recipes, all adapted for contemporary kitchens. From New England there is Real Clam Chowder; from the South, Fresh Peach Ice Cream; from the Southwest, Albondigas Soup; from California, Arroz con Pollo. Behind all the recipes are extraordinary stories, which make this not just a cookbook but also a portrait of America.      From the Hardcover edition.

The Great American White Woman


The Great American White Woman


$10.39


The Great American White Woman reflects perceptions of an uncertain society. The story chronicles the life and death of Niece Thompson. Niece suffers a tormented childhood and witnesses her younger sister killed by a drunk driver. Through her adolescence, she endures an abusive mother that hides behind the veil of Christianity. To establish a sense of self, Niece runs away from home, but her experiences have virtually shaped a delusional and skewed view of the world around her. Homeless and struggling, Niece meets Hope Andersen. They fall in love, but as a young woman Niece’s sexuality and personal identity fall victim to her past. As they plan for a future together, Hope’s deepest carnal desires mark their relationship with a degree of darkness and turmoil. Niece’s worst fears manifest in the graceful form of her adversary, a blonde-haired woman named Casky. The ensuing conflict between Niece and Casky is a portrayal of self-serving corruption in pursuit of anoverwhelming desire. Combining elements of suspense and romance, the literary contribution is designed to capture the imagination with a polemic challenge to race, religion, and relationships. The story in its shallows examines covetousness, worship, desire, and praise. However, in its surreal depths uncovers the idolization of the blonde, the brunette, and the redhead. Very different, the work travels through the Church of the Great American White Woman and takes us to the door of Pandemonium. Filled with unique and memorable characters, the story is an intricate web of life and human nature.

The American People in the Great Depression


The American People in the Great Depression


$14.95


On October 24, 1929, America met the greatest economic devastation it had ever known. In this first installment of his Pulitzer Prize-winning Freedom from Fear, Kennedy tells how America endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of that unprecedented calamity. Kennedy vividly demonstrates that the economic crisis of the 1930s was more than a reaction to the excesses of the 1920s. For more than a century before the Crash, America's unbridled industrial revolution had gyrated through repeated boom and bust cycles, consuming capital and inflicting misery on city and countryside alike. Nor was the alleged prosperity of the 1920s as uniformly shared as legend portrays. Countless Americans eked out threadbare lives on the margins of national life. Roosevelt's New Deal wrenched opportunity from the trauma of the 1930s and created a lasting legacy of economic and social reform, but it was afflicted with shortcomings and contradictions as well. With an even hand Kennedy details the New Deal's problems and defeats, as well as its achievements. He also sheds fresh light on its incandescent but enigmatic author, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Marshalling unforgettable narratives that feature prominent leaders as well as lesser-known citizens, The American People in the Great Depression tells the story of a resilient nation finding courage in an unrelenting storm.

The Great American Story


The Great American Story


$114.71


This study examines U.S cultural values through the lens of family storytelling. Through an examination of 53 family stories, it addresses: the role of family storytelling in the transmission of cultural values; the existence of shared American cultural archetypes, motifs and themes; the existence of shared national values and the role of storytelling in promoting peace. As dynamic folklore, family stories are ideal instruments with which to tease out deeprooted values. Stories are rich repositories of cultural schemas, the bricolage of information and attitudes that form our identities. They are also repleted with symbols that reflect shared, unconscious understandings. Unlike many other cultural products, moreover, they are relatively unaffected by government or corporate agendas. More unlike, many other types of folk narrative, they typically resonate with Americans. Finally, storytelling both reflects and comprises the social drama characterized by anthropologist Victor Turner, which leads to communitas, the spirit of community. The study attempts the promotion of communitas by demonstrating how humankind makes connections through the shared elements found in our stories.

Great American Hypocrites


Great American Hypocrites


$11.99


A takedown of the GOP’s deceitful propaganda machine from the hugely popular blogger of Salon.com’s Unclaimed Territory and the author of the New York Times bestsellers How Would a Patriot Act? and A Tragic Legacy Long since Americans were wooed by images of Ronald Reagan astride a horse, complete with cowboy hat and rugged good looks, the Republican Party has used a John Wayne mythology to build up its candidates and win elections. Their marketing scheme of evoking brave, courageous, heroic warriors has been so persuasive and strikes such a patriotic nerve, that many citizens have voted based on this manipulative imagery even when they’ve flat out disagreed with the GOP’s positions on key issues. Glenn Greenwald puts this bogus GOP mythology under microscopic critique and successfully argues that none of these men is, in fact, a brave, strong moral warrior—far from it. Rather, most have dodged military duty, have strings of broken marriages and affairs, and live decadent, elitist lives, which they so ruthlessly condemn Democrats for doing. Such false archetypes—that GOP leaders are exclusively fit to command the military, represent traditional family values, and are fiscally restrained and responsible because they’re just regular folk like us—are so firmly entrenched in our culture as to allow the GOP to sit back and let their time-tested marketing ploy spin itself silly while avoiding debate on real issues. When they actually do voice opinions, it’s nothing more than a smear campaign of the supposed weakness and elitism of the Democrats. To prevent this tired marketing scheme from succeeding again, Greenwald takes off the gloves and knocks down the hoaxes and myths, exposing the tactics the right-wing machine uses to drown out both reality and consideration of real issues. But he also calls on Democrats to shake off the defensive posture (“We love America too,” “We support the troops too,” “We also believe in God”) and start attacking the Republican candidates for the hypocrites they, in truth, are. The first book to dissect the Republican Cult of Personality and leave it openly exposed in its unabashed, shameful depravity, Great American Hypocrites is a deeply necessary call-out to Democrats to attack the GOP with their competitor’s very own weapons. Ever since the cowboy image of Ronald Reagan was sold to Americans, the Republican Party has used the same John Wayne imagery to support its candidates and take elections. We all know how they govern, but the right-wing propaganda machine is very adept at hijacking debate and marketing their candidates as effectively as the Marlboro Man. For example: Myth: The Republican nominee is an upstanding, regular guy who shares the values of the common man. Reality: He divorced his first wife in order to marry a young multimillionaire heiress whose family then funded h

The Great War: American Front


The Great War: American Front


$7.99


When the Great War engulfed Europe in 1914, the United States and the Confederate States of America, bitter enemies for five decades, entered the fray on opposite sides: the United States aligned with the newly strong Germany, while the Confederacy joined forces with their longtime allies, Britain and France. But it soon became clear to both sides that this fight would be different–that war itself would never be the same again. For this was to be a protracted, global conflict waged with new and chillingly efficient innovations–the machine gun, the airplane, poison gas, and trench warfare. Across the Americas, the fighting raged like wildfire on multiple and far-flung fronts. As President Theodore Roosevelt rallied the diverse ethnic groups of the northern states–Irish and Italians, Mormons and Jews–Confederate President Woodrow Wilson struggled to hold together a Confederacy still beset by ignorance, prejudice, and class divisions. And as the war thundered on, southern blacks, oppressed for generations, found themselves fatefully drawn into a climactic confrontation . . . From the Paperback edition.

Corvette:  The Great American Sports Car


Corvette: The Great American Sports Car


$16.99


The King of Cool It seems impossible. At one time, the Corvette was the car that almost nobody wanted. When it first surfaced for the 1953 model year, the cars were rough-riding, underpowered, and lacking in the “fit” and “finish” that buyers of refined roadsters would normally expect. Through six generations and major makeovers, Chevy’s European-inspired rocket has outperformed and outlasted the competition. There is no other car that enjoys such a rabid fan following, and no car is more instantly recognizable, regardless of the year. In Corvette: The Great American Sports Car, accomplished automotive author John Gunnell provides a year-by-year examination of the Corvette’s evolution. With more than 225 photos and fact-filled biographies of every production Corvette ever built, Corvette: The Great American Sports Car is a handy, colorful, authoritative reference sure to appeal to any Corvette lover.

A Veritable… Arsenal of Manufacturing: Government Management of Weapons Production in the American Revolution.


$74.67


Used – The American colonies that rebelled against Great Britain in 1775 did so without the weapons manufacturing infrastructure necessary to support such an action. There were few Americans skilled in the production of weapons, and the colonies’ craft-based production operations were not organized for large-scale output. Worse yet for the rebels, the war disrupted the operations of the few craftsmen available to support the war effort. Money became scarce; resources, expensive; and transportati

 Baltimore Orioles Ironman Lithograph


Baltimore Orioles Ironman Lithograph


$174.99


The drive to compete. The drive to excel. Every day. Every game. A local kid from Maryland broke into the big leagues as a third baseman with the Baltimore Orioles in 1981. The following season, on may 30, 1982, in the team?s 46th game of the year, Cal Ripken, Jr. Was penciled into the starting lineup. It would be sixteen years and 2,632 games before the Baltimore Orioles would have a starting line-up without his name in it. He shattered the longevity record of 2,130 games set by the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig – a feat that most baseball observers thought was unattainable by any other player. Cal Ripken Jr., the ultimate competitor, transformed the position of shortstop. He was a gold glove caliber fielder who brought power to the position of shortstop like few before him could do, and he had the uncanny ability to come up with the biggest hits when the lights were shining their brightest. The litany of his achievements is amazing: rookie of the year, two time American League most valuable player, and member of the 1983 World Champion Orioles. One of the greatest ambassadors the game of baseball has ever seen, he had the great fortune to play with his brother as a teammate and his father as a coach and manager. Cal Ripken, Jr.?s place in baseball history was cemented by his overwhelming selection into baseball?s Hall of Fame in 2007. Limited edition to 888 pieces.

$599.99


“During his 13 years in Yankee pinstripes Don Mattingly terrorized opposing pitchers winning the American League batting title in 1984 and the American League MVP in 1985. Don would go on to win 9 Gold Gloves and be named to All-Star teams from 1984 thru 1989. His on field tenacity and his power at the plate earned Mattingly the title of “”Donnie Baseball”". He finished his illustrious career with 2,153 hits, 222 home runs, 1,099 RBI’s, and a .307 lifetime batting average. He is quite possibly the best Yankee player to have never played in a World Series with the team. On August 31, 1997 the Yankees retired his number 23 and dedicated his plaque for Monument Park at Yankee Stadium. The plaque calls him “”A humble man of grace and dignity, a captain who led by example, proud of the Pinstripe tradition and dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, a Yankee forever.”" The Louisville Slugger bat is personally hand signed by Yankees great Don Mattingly with the inscription “”Hitman”". Officially licensed and authenticated by Major League Baseball and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity card (COA) and hologram from Mounted Memories. This product is officially licensed by Major League Baseball and comes with an individually numbered; tamper evident hologram from Mounted Memories.

 Mapex Saturn Pro 14x11 Root Beer Burst Tom Tom - Floor Model


Mapex Saturn Pro 14×11 Root Beer Burst Tom Tom – Floor Model


$259


Condition Notes: This has been used as a floor model. It has a few light stick marks but is in otherwise great condition!Mapex Saturn Series matches the finest, thinnest plies of North American Maple with a selection of dark, rich walnut. The result is a beautifully hand crafted drum with a remarkably wide tonal range. The Saturn is exacting enough for any and all studio applications and has been thoroughly road tested by nearly every professional artist on the Mapex roster. These tom toms feature 6 ply, 5.1mm maple walnut shells, 8-coat hand rubbed high gloss lacquer, Mapex low mass lugs, 2.3mm chrome steel Powerhoops, and Remo Emperor drumheads. Mapex’s low mass lugs are secured to the shell via only one point of penetration. Fewer holes in the drum shell means less vibratory interruption, resulting in truer tone and unimpeded resonance. Made from 2.3mm chrome steel, the Mapex Powerhoop provides flex resistance without adding unnecessary weight that may mute the drum.The item number listed on this page is for an individual component drum, not a complete kit.

 Pearl 24x18 Masterworks 6-Ply Maple Bass Drum - Gransparkle


Pearl 24×18 Masterworks 6-Ply Maple Bass Drum – Gransparkle


$1479


“With no assembly line boundaries and no mass production compromises, Masterworks drums truly represent all that is possible.  There is no inventory.  Every drum in your kit is designed by you, and hand built to your exacting specifications, one drum at a time.  We’ve assembled an elite group of pearl master craftsmen in order to manufacture the finest drums the world has ever known.  Masterworks drums are as individual as you are, and like no other you have heard or seen before.  Custom Drums. There seems to be quite a few companies making them these days. Most buy shells from the same manufacturer, mount hardware they bought from some place else, and apply a custom paint job. The end result, after a lot of hype, is a custom drum set…or is it?Masterworks hopes to change the way drummers view a custom set of drums. At Pearl, the word custom holds quite a bit more reverence. It means we made it, not assembled it. It means everything about the kit is made by hand, one piece at a time, by a Pearl master craftsman. From hand selecting the finest woods and painstakingly forming the shell, to die casting and plating the hardware that mounts to it, drums bearing the Masterworks badge are one of a kind ultimate acoustic instruments, hand made to your specifications, with the expertise and quality no other company can match. Maple has been a favorite choice of drum manufacturers since the late 1700′s. Its grain is a beautiful canvas for transparent finishing techniques, and its tone is ideal for general purpose, all encompassing applications. Our North American Maple, like all of the woods used for Masterworks drums, is hand-selected to meet stringent requirements for proper density, age, and consistency of grain and color. Maple offers a smooth, warm, well rounded tone, with equal amounts of hi-end attack and mid-range body, and an excellent low-end punch.Medium thickness drums, as with our 6 ply, 7.5mm Masters MCX shells, have slightly greater stiffness and resist some of the energy transfer from the heads. With slightly less vibration, a trade-off is achieved, allowing the sound to be slightly “”cooler”" than a thin shell drum, but with greater volume and projection. These drums represent a great choice for all around, general purpose applications, offering a warm, full bodied wood tone, with great attack, loudness and presence.”

 'Round Midnight


‘Round Midnight


$6.99


A French music lover befriends a once-great American jazz artist and attempts to save him from self-destruction in this moody drama. Saxophonist Dexter Gordon portrays Dale Turner, a fictional musician inspired by a number of famed jazz figures, including Bud Powell and Lester Young. Largely forgotten in his home country, Turner has moved to Paris in search of a more appreciative audience. He finds it in the form of Francis Borler (Francois Cluzet), a bebop aficionado who befriends the expatriate player. Borler soon becomes familiar with Turner’s darker side, including his struggles with alcoholism, drug addiction, and depression. Fearing for the musician’s life, the fan becomes his caretaker, an arrangement that leads to a brief improvement in Turner’s health and fortunes but places great emotional strain upon them both. Director Bertrand Tavernier pays great attention to the visual and aural details of the jazz world, with outstanding musical supervision provided by Herbie Hancock. ‘Round Midnight’s greatest asset, however, is Gordon’s Academy Award-nominated performance, informed by his own life experiences. His naturally fascinating presence combines with the film’s obvious love of the music and its milieu to provide what many have hailed as one of the more authentic and affectionate presentations of the jazz world on the silver screen. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

All across the globe, an unprecedented Category 6 storm decends with greater force than could have ever been imagined. The Eiffel Tower is shredded by violent winds – the Great Pyramids reduced to piles of rubble as twisting, black funnels snake across the desert. For years scientists have been expounding theories – and warnings – of global warming trends. Now these warnings are coming true with a frightening ferocity. But though it may have created regions of volatile and extreme weather, global warming isn’t what triggered the terrible temptest. The cause is unknown. As various regions of the Earth succumb to the increasingly powerful super storm, beautiful but discredited scientist Faith Clavell (Shannen Doherty, TV’s Charmed) teams up with storm chaser Tommy Tornado (Emmy Award nominee Randy Quaid, Elvis) and head of FEMA Judith Carr (Gina Gershon, Face/Off), to determine the trigger and eliminate it – and that means infiltrating the storm itself. Compounding the chaos, a terrorist organization is threatening to make the situation worse. Now it’s not only man against nature, but man against man as the newly-intensified Category 7 approaches – and possibly, the end of the world.10.5 APOCALYPSE: A year ago the greatest quake in history rampaged America’s West Coast.

100 Americans Making Constitutional History: A Biographical History


$280.65


100 Americans Making Constitutional History: A Biographical History presents 100 profiles of the key people behind some of the most important U.S. Supreme Court cases. Edited by Melvin I. Urofsky, a respected constitutional historian, each 2,000-word profile delves into the social and political content behind landmark Court decisions. For example, while a case like Brown v. Board of Education is about an important idea–the equal protection of the law–at its heart it is the story of a little girl, Linda Brown, who wanted to go to a decent school near her home. The outcome is accessible and objective stories about the individuals–heroes and scoundrels–who fought their way to constitutional history. 100 American Making Constitutional History helps students understand the human side of the Supreme Court’s decisions from the early republic to the present. Each biographical profile, written by a constitutional scholar or legal analyst, includes a discussion about the Court decision and how the specific legal issues evolved into great constitutional questions and drama. It puts a face and history to major cases by reminding the reader that there are people behind them, seeking vindication of their individual liberties and civil rights.

Mixing history, culinary suggestions, and personal anecdotes, he introduces readers to unusual heirloom vegetables as well as to common favorites. Two-color throughout. Line drawings. From the Publisher A perfect leek from France. Flavorful zucchini from Italy. An infamous potato from Ireland, and a humble lentil from Ethiopia. 100 Vegetables offers a veritable cornucopia of vegetables and stories from around the world — from Argentina to Zimbabwe, from Australia to the United States. William Woys Weaver — veggie connoisseur, gardener, and historian — guides us through a range of peppers, potatoes, peas, gourds, onions, tomatoes, greens, and a whole lot more. Not every carrot is the same. All beans aren’t equal. Take the Petaluma Gold Rush bean, a rugged legume, grown for over 150 years and brought to California by an American whaler from Peru. Or the violet carrot, which the Greeks brought back from India following the conquests of Alexander the Great. Mixing history, culinary suggestions, practical information, and personal anecdotes, Weaver introduces us to unusual heirloom vegetables as well as to common favorites. He provides answers to general questions, such as the difference between a yam and a sweet potato, and presents lively portraits of one hundred vegetable varieties, which he’s grown and harvested in his own kitchen garden. Organized alphabetically by common name, 100 Vegetables includes beautifully detailed drawings throughout and a helpful appendix of seed resources.
