An FYI: We recently learned in dog-training class that some common human foods are dangerous for pets. Topping the list: grapes, raisins and chocolate. Also fatal, the sugar substitute Xyitol. (That's probably not really great for humans, either.)Read a full list of non-pet-friendly foods here.

From a Flyer reader: "We found a camera on the November 1st when we were out for a family walk. It was on Hopkins between Heathfield and Dorking."You can email me at kris(at)forgeflyer.com if you think it's yours. Just include what kind you lost so we can make sure it goes to the right person. I know you sneaky Rodgers Forgians -- you're always trying to score a free camera!!! Always!

What the heck is this? Snarkiness at its peak. A list of "unsexy" Hollywood stars featured on the Sun's main page of its website. You know, a slideshow of celebrities' mug shots is one thing -- at least they did something that got them arrested. This is just mean and petty and a poor use of dwindling news resources."With People Magazine recently publishing their Sexiest Men of 2009 list as well
