Diamond Pet Foods has issued a recall for a number of dry dog foods manufactured at its facilities due to a salmonella threat [link] That's the link to the announcement on their website. The list of brands under recall is by no means complete - Wellness and Natural Balance have both announced through their email newsletter lists that they are recalling some of their dry dog foods manufactured at Diamond facilities. I recommend checking out the website for instructions on how to identify what foods are included.
The pet food recall has been expanded to include a variety of dry cat foods. [link]

For fellow iPad and iPhone readers who are annoyed with spoiler font not being easily read, I have a (partial) solution. Last night I downloaded an app for browsing called iCab. It has a module (settings) that allows web pages to display all font as black (or white) with contrasting background. Unfortunately it's not possible to make it your default browser on the iPhone. But that's okay for me because I only plan to use it to read b.org when I am all caught up on a movie and want to go back and read 250 white-fonted posts.
(I saw Avengers yesterday and ONLY read fun stuff on iPad or iPhone; my laptops are for work! So I had to find a solution for all of that spoilerfont!)
Hope this is helpful.
java,
diigo browser allows you to highlight text. that's what I use.
