Euroglyphus maynei is prevalent in humid geographical areas throughout the world (1). These mites thrive in humid human dwellings where there is no liquid water to drink. Their bodies contain 70 to 75% water by weight, which must be maintained in order for the mites to reproduce. Their primary source of water is water vapour, which is extracted from the air. At relative humidities above 65 to 70%, adequate amounts of water can be extracted from unsaturated air to compensate for that lost by all avenues (2). Study of the biology of E. maynei has been relatively uncommon because the mite is difficult to culture. E. maynei has been increasingly recognised as an important source of allergen exposure for patients with House dust mite allergy (3).
See common environmental background tomites in our Scientific Document (link to the right).
E. maynei is the source of at least 47 individual allergens. Twenty-two of the allergens were recognised by more than 50% of sera from 16 E. maynei-allergic individuals, and all but 1 of the subjects had IgE that bound to more than 10 allergens. One of the proteins was identified as the allergen Eur m 2 (3).
Although a number of allergens have been isolated from this mite, only a few have been characterised:
A moderate degree of cross-reactivity exists between the House dust mite E. maynei and the House dust mite Dermatophagoides species (12). Other studies have reported a higher degree of cross-reactivity between these 2 types of House dust mites, with a high level of primary structure similarity being demonstrated among Eur m 1, Der p 1 and Der f 1. Eur m 1 and Der p I showed 85% amino acid identity, and the 3 allergen amino acid sequences taken together showed a 78% identity (5,13-14).
Similarly, amino acid sequences of Eur m 1 and Eur m 2 were reported to have an 84 to 86% sequence identity with the corresponding allergens from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae mites. This was reported to be the same as the degree of sequence identity found between D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae, despite Euroglyphus being a member of the Pyroglyphinae subfamily rather than the Dermatophagoidinae subfamily (4,15). Pso o 1 from Sheep scab mite (Psoroptes ovis) has also been shown to be homologous to mite Group 1 allergens (16), and Pso o 2 to mite Group 2 allergens (17).
Other authors have also reported significant cross-reactivity among Dermatophagoides and Euroglyphus species. Blomia kulagini demonstrated a medium degree of cross-reactivity with Euroglyphus maynei. Immunological crossreactivity between Pyroglyphidae and non- Pyroglyphidae mites was reported to be very low (18).
After an examination of cross-reactivity at the T-cell level, E. maynei Group 1 allergens were reported to be a significant source of primary T-cell sensitisation and to have little T-cell cross-reactivity with D. pteronyssinus or D. farinae (19).
Although E. maynei and B. tropicalis are the source of both species-specific and crossreactive allergens, most allergens in each appear to be species-specific (20). Eur m 3, a Group 3 mite serine protease allergen, has been shown to exhibit 42-57% homology with a cloned trypsin gene from the German cockroach (21). As Blo t 3 from B. tropicalis is highly homologous to Group 3 Dust mite allergens, cross reactivity is likely between B. tropicalis and E. maynei.7 (22). Der p 4 and Eur m 4 were calculated to be 90% identical, and their amino acid sequences demonstrated an approximately 50%-identical match to insect and mammalian alpha-amylases, although the clinical relevance of this latter finding is unknown (8).
Of 2 recombinant allergens constructed from Sarcoptes scabiei, 1 was homologous to and cross-reactive with the E. maynei allergen Eur m 14, an apolipophorin from haemolymph (23). Amino acid sequence data has demonstrated similarity between Eur m 14 and other allergens in D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae; these allergens showed strong similarity to the insect apolipophorins that exist in the lipid transport particles in haemolymph (10).
E. maynei may commonly induce symptoms of asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis and exacerbate atopic dermatitis in sensitised individuals (24-26).
House dust mites from the family Pyroglyphidae – Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, D. farinae and Euroglyphus maynei – are recognised as the major source of allergens in house dust and the indoor environment, producing multiple potent allergens. They are common inhabitants of homes worldwide (27-29). In fact, the House dust mites to which humans are most frequently sensitised are these very 3 (4,30). Sensitisation to E. maynei has been reported throughout many countries of the world.
In Germany, sensitisation to E. maynei was shown to be common (31). In 86 German farmers with rhinitis and/or asthma evaluated by skin-specific IgE determination, the most frequent sensitisations were found to be to the 3 Blomia species, E. maynei and G. domesticus (25).
In a survey of mites in 30 homes in Oxfordshire, UK, D. pteronyssinus and E. maynei were found to be the most abundant species, but D. farinae was absent (32). In Oxford, UK, 25 atopic children under 11 years of age were studied through skin test and IgE antibody response to D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, D. microceras and Euroglyphus maynei. All of the children were sensitive to D. pteronyssinus, 20 (80%) were also sensitive to D. farinae and D. microceras, and of this latter group16 (64%) were also sensitive to E. maynei (33).
Similarly, a survey was done of the House dust mite population in the homes of 50 asthmatics residing in Liverpool, UK, who had strong skin reactivity to D. pteronyssinus. It was demonstrated, as expected, that D. pteronyssinus was the commonest species. However, E. maynei made up 37% of the total adult mite count and was the predominant species in 48% of beds examined (34). Glasgow, with a mild, highrainfall climate, combined with deteriorating housing and low standards of living in many parts of the city, is said to be a particularly suitable place for thriving populations of House dust mites. In a study, 31 species were detected, of which the most abundant were D. pteronyssinus (64.3%), Glycyphagus domesticus (16.7%), and Euroglyphus maynei (11.6%) (35-36).
In a Polish study, more than 30 mite species were found, of which the most common were those of the Pyroglyphid family, especially D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae. E. maynei occurred in very small numbers (37). These findings concurred with those of a study examining house dust samples from 335 dwellings at 27 different localities in Poland. This study identified 15 species, including 4 species from the family Pyroglyphidae. D. farinae predominated, followed by D. pteronyssinus, and only 1.6% of the homes contained E. maynei (38).
Among farmers working and living in rural regions of Austria (Styria, Lower Austria), and 26 citizens of Vienna, elevated levels of IgE antibodies specific for E. maynei were more frequently observed in the urban dwellers (39). In the Czech Republic, E. maynei was found more commonly in recreation houses and some hospitals (40). In Russia, in a group of patients with allergic disease who were sensitised to D. pteronyssinus, 80% were also sensitised to D. farinae, 55% to E. maynei, 45% to A. siro and 35% to L. destructor (41). Sensitisation to this mite has been reported in Scandinavian countries (42). In Sweden, E. maynei was shown to be a common cause of sensitisation among the whole farming population, with a prevalence of 4.5%, as shown by on the detection of serum-specific IgE (43). However, sensitisation to this mite in Swedish bakers was reported to be rare (44).
In Israel, the House dust mites D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae and Euroglyphus maynei constituted 94.8% of the mites. The most prevalent species of mites were shown to be D. pteronyssinus (85.6%) and D. farinae (71.3%) (45).
E. maynei has also been shown to be an important mite in the Americas. In a study involving 8 geographic areas of the United States, it was demonstrated that the most common Dust mites found in homes were D. farinae, D. pteronyssinus, E. maynei, and B. tropicalis (46). In Hawaii, dust was collected from 102 university student dormitory rooms. Thirty-three samples were selected for analysis and shown to contain D. pteronyssinus in 81.9% and D. farinae in 11.2%. The presence of the Euroglyphus species was reported to be very low (47). In the city of Juiz de Fora, Brazil, E. maynei and Tyrophagus putrescentiae were some of the main species found (48). In 99 subjects with acute asthma and 100 controls in Cartagena, Colombia, sensitisation to E. maynei was demonstrated to be 68.7% vs. 22% (49). In a study involving 56 asthmatics in Santa Fe, Argentina, 46 were found to be positive on skin test to D. pteronyssinus, 43 to D. farinae, 27 to Aleuroglyphus ovatus, 38 to B. tropicalis and 27 to Chortoglyphus arcuatus; 38 of 54 individuals had IgE antibodies to E. maynei, and 22 of 54 to L. destructor (50). In 100 children with a history of mild or moderate asthma living in Mexico City, skin tests demonstrated that D. pteronyssinus was positive in 96, D. farinae in 80, and E. maynei in 41 (51). In an allergen exposure study in Uberaba, Brazil, 240 dust samples were collected from 60 houses. D. pteronyssinus was reported to be the most frequent species found (15.6%), followed by D. farinae (12.3%) and E. maynei (7.9%) (52).
In Valdivia, Chile, among 100 consecutive paediatric asthma patients evaluated, 80 were confirmed to have skin reactivity to at least 1 mite species. All patients with skin reactivity for mites were positive to D. pteronyssinus, 99% to D. farinae, 92% to E. maynei, 80% to L. destructor, 73% to T. putrescientae, 72% to B. tropicalis, 70% to A. siro and 68% to C. arcuatus. All of the patients with severe persistent asthma had skin reactivity to mites, as did 85% in the moderate group and 73% in the mild group. Ninety-five percent of patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis were shown to have skin reactivity to mites, as were 92% of patients with asthma and eczema and 100% of patients with asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema (53).
Mites from mattresses in homes of 11 cities in Puerto Rico were assessed, and E. maynei was found in 5.3% of homes (54). The predominant mite species in Perth and Bunbury in Australia were D. pteronyssinus, E. maynei and Tarsonemus species. Surprisingly, D. farinae was found to be absent from all dust samples examined. E. maynei was present in the 10 Bunbury homes and in 50% of the Perth homes, ranging up to 81% of mites identified (55). E. maynei has been reported from China (56). In 93 Taiwanese asthmatic children aged from 3 to 15 years examined for IgE antibodies to 5 different species of mites, 63 were found to have IgE antibodies to at least 1 mite. Seventy-seven percent were shown to be sensitised to E. maynei. Some patients were shown to have IgE antibodies to E. maynei (3.2%) and B. tropicalis (3.2%), even though they had none to D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae (57).
In the manufacture of "chorizo" sausage, occupational allergy has been reported to E. maynei (58).

Update from our 2017 Bay Area SUDS
Sunshine and smiles were abundant during the annual Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk & Family Picnic on October 8th at Pleasant Hill Middle School. A record 1,200 walkers enjoyed an afternoon of fun and entertainment after "stepping up" their fundraising efforts to raise our goal of $210,000.
Pleasant Hill Mayor, Michael Harris, welcomed everyone to the event and declared October 8th as Down Syndrome Awareness Day for the city of Pleasant Hill. The walk kicked off to the music from Las Lomas High School's Pep Band, a cheer by Carondelet High School's dance and cheer squad and an uplifting speech from special celebrity guest Megan Bomgaars from TV's Born This Way. Megan also had a long line for autographs at her booth where she sold her "Don't Limit Me" t-shirts. DJ Joey provided the festive music which, of course, resulted in dancing later that afternoon!
Each team received a professionally printed team sign donated by Don Gardner of SPX Associates to carry along the walk. Key accomplishments were recognized for walkers with Down syndrome at the finish line, garnering cheers and applause from the sidelines. Huge thanks to our friends from the Golden Gate Garrison, 501st Legion and the Avengers who gave out medals and took pictures with our walkers.
Plenty of grassy areas made the perfect setting for family and team picnicking afterwards with food trucks, a coffee bar, and an ice cream stand. Attendees were treated to free carnival games, cotton candy, face painting and mini golf among other lawn games.
Special thanks to our gold sponsor Macy's for their 5th year of sponsorship and to Scott Ferguson, Macy's District V.P., and Kia Panah for bringing their team to hand out prizes and gift cards. We are also very grateful to our other gold sponsors, John Muir Health and Fremont Bank Foundation, for their partnership this year.
We would like to acknowledge and thank all of our advertisers, donors and supporters: Eternal Water, Far West Sanitation, Recycling4Smiles, Pleasant Hill Orthodontics, Quest Foundation, SPK Associates, Vivas Banners, West Coast Avengers, Golden Gate Garrison 501st Legion and Taste of the World.
A big thank you to everyone who fundraised this year! 188 families created a fundraising page which resulted in over 2,000 generous people from around the world donating and making our goal of $210,000! Top fundraising honors go to the Peninsula Team with a record breaking $20,000; Nico Tom and Julie Tang individually brought in $7100 and $6600 respectively. The top 6 fundraising teams raised over $68,000 and include: Peninsula Team, Team Drucker, Team Leah, Dubh Nation, Team Friends and Glam Grace.

Racing Gloves – Why Should You Use Them?
A lot of people, all around the world, think of men or women, who enjoy racing, as brave souls and daredevils. One can easily understand why those people are regarded in such a way. While there is not any doubt that racing or driving some powerful vehicle, like a racing car or motorcycle, carries a substantial element of danger, it is not all there is to it. Aside from the element of danger, racing or driving is also about keeping yourself calm and cool, as well as trying to maneuver and control the vehicle to the best of your abilities. To achieve all of this, you will need some help. That help can come in the form of racing gloves. In the remainder of this article, we will delve deeper into the advantages of wearing racing gloves while driving.
Racing Gloves
When you are driving your vehicle or speeding around a race track at breakneck speeds, the worst thing that can happen to you is to lose control of your vehicle. People usually lose control the moment their hands slip from their steering wheels. Now, how come this doesn't happen to professional racing drivers? The answer is simple; they wear racing gloves. The gloves they are wearing are not just any gloves, but the ones specifically made from high-quality leather.These gloves are designed to suit the needs of pro racing drivers, but they can also be used by anyone who would like to ensure maximum control over his/her vehicle.
With the help of the right racing gloves, you will keep your hands safe, maintain a much firmer grip on the steering wheel, and make your ride much more comfortable and enjoyable.
Less Fatigue
People who regularly drive, usually spend hours in their vehicles. Spending so much time behind the wheel can have devastating consequences for your hands. The situation can be made even worse, in case your steering wheel constantly vibrates or is somewhat loose. Racing gloves can help you with this problem since they function like a barrier between them and the steering wheel. That way, your hands will suffer much less friction and abrasion, thus significantly reducing the risk of blisters occurring.
Enhanced Control
This one is pretty much self-explanatory. Losing control over the steering wheel can happen at any time, due to some reasons. One of the most common causes is sweaty palms. When using racing gloves, you will not even have to think about this issue, and you will have a much stronger and firmer grip on the steering wheel.
Preservation Of The Steering Wheel
The steering wheel is one of the most critical components of every vehicle. It is one of those rare parts, that must be in absolutely perfect condition at all times, so as to ensure the safest possible ride. However, due to the constant use and wear and tear, it can suffer a certain amount of damage. In that case, the steering wheel would not only endanger the driver and the passengers, but it would also significantly reduce the resale value of the vehicle. By using racing gloves, you will protect your steering wheel from any dirt, grit or sweat you might have on your hands, and preserve its condition.
Protection From Extreme Cold
Nobody likes to drive in extreme cold. When hands suffer from extreme cold, they become much less flexible, as well as less responsive. That usually leads to an extremely unpleasant ride, and, more importantly, increases the risk of accidents. To prevent this scenario from happening, use racing gloves to keep your hands warm.…

THE SOCIALIST PARTY strives to establish a radical democracy that places people's lives under their own control - a non-racist, classless, feminist socialist society... where working people own and control the means of production and distribution through democratically-controlled public agencies; and where the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not for the private profit of a few. We believe socialism and democracy are one and indivisible.

The massage we offer for couples is a massage for body, mind and soul, meant to increase intimacy, empathy as well as freedom, communication and confidence between the two lovers. It is a unique experience in an ambiance in which you will feel pampered with sensual tenderness in safety. The massage encourages the communication and freedom in the couple on a background of mutual trust. It is also meant to revive the sparkle within the long-term couple relationships.
The woman can choose either a female or a male therapist whilst the man will have a female therapist. The years of experience, the knowledge and self-giving of our therapists will make you feel from the very beginning that you have chosen a team of professionals that will not only help you to feel excellent but will also offer you the whole support you need to attain unguessed states of fullfilment and happiness on a background of mutual understanding, communication, trust and freedom in your couple.
Nowadays, although we consider that we are within a full sexual revolution, there are neither genuine understanding and knowledge of sexuality nor true empathy and intimacy in the general life of the couples. Couples separate quite fast because of the lack of true communication and profound intimacy that leads to frustration, jealousy and loneliness. On the other hand, many of the long-terms relationships lose the excitement and attraction from the beginning and they do not know how to revive it. Even though we know so much about sex, this does not protect us from couple problems and lack of fullfilment. Tantra and Tao have found the ideal solution to solve these problems and to wisely benefit of sexuality. For Taoists, sexuality is even a medicine. They have noticed that the awakened sexual energy, guided towards certain areas of the body can ameliorate and even cure many ailments. Tantrics have noticed as well that instead of denying sexuality, it can be used to feel infinite states of heavenly happiness and unity within the couple relationship.
The massage we perform is inspired both from the ancient Tantric and Taoist tradition combined with the relaxing massage. The goal of this massage is first to release tensions and then to awaken and energize some superior states of wellbeing, pleasure, happiness. The massage is also meant to improve self-confidence and the confidence in the other one, freedom, empathy and self-knowledge.
Even at the phone call you will receive all information you need and you will be reminded our principles such as: our services involve only massage and we do not offer sexual services. Even though the massage could trigger states of unguessed pleasure, even multiple-orgasms without ejaculation or discharge, we aim to spread the awakened energy in the whole being so that a profound and global state of balance will occur.
The atmosphere when you are received will be sensual, warm, clean and relaxing. We have everything is needed for massage: organic oils, towels, shower and an environment what is going to please your sight.
Before having shower, you will have some time to talk to our therapists who will explain you what the massage consist of, how it is structured. The atmosphere encourages trust and free communication between the two lovers as well as a state of unity within the couple on a background of increased freedom. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
The massage starts with a part of relaxation that aims to wind down the body and to calm the mind. Then the massage gets more and more sensual: fine caresses on the massaged areas, the massage with forearms, light mobilisation, the awakening of the erogenous areas. By combining the relaxation massage with the sensual massage, the therapist will unblock the main meridians of body and they will remove by acupressure the accumulated tensions in the areas that need it.
In the case of man, this sensual massage will be performed with palms, forearms, breasts, thighs, calves, chin, soles, waist to awaken and energize a state of effervescent pleasure that gradually takes hold of the entire body. The alternation between Taoist techniques of massage and sensual massage will gradually manage to produce in the being who receives this kind of massage an awakening of the capability to live the sensation not only to consume it. A refinement of the pleasure from a gross local pleasure to a state of elevated, global orgasmic pleasure will occur. All this occurs in the man body by fully controlling the seminal potential and transforming it into an immense beneficial energy that triggers pleasure, happiness and a huge beneficial power.
In the case of woman, when the pleasant euphoric relaxing feeling appears and the body gets ready to experience more, then the therapist will ask her if she would like to have a yoni massage. Only if the lady agrees, the journey in the unguessed world of pleasure will continue.
In acupressure, it is considered that all our organs as well as all parts of our body are projected and have a certain corresponding area both at the level of soles, palms, ears and especially at the level of genitalia. Yoni is the Sanskrit word for the female intimate parts. Yoni massage involves in the first stage the massage of the pelvic area that brings about unblocking of the energy. A feeling of pleasure given by this flow of energy will appear. Then the unblocking and the harmonization of each part of the yoni will follow. Each part of female yoni is linked to the awakening of some feelings. Thus, a symphony of feelings can be triggered at that moment, even a global state of bliss.
During the intimate massage, the therapist will aim to go through three distinct steps:
Nothing will occur. The therapist will stop and will perform a relaxing massage combined with elements of Taoist massage. Even in that case, the effects of massage will be felt much time afterwards because the created structure of this massage allows a feeling of fullfilment and relaxation from the very beginning.

House and neighborhood characteristics can positively influence the sale of a home, but what about the words used in the MLS Listing and online marketing property websites? The right words or phrases could you're your sellers home sell quickly, but choose less descriptive or commonly vague terms and it may take you longer to find that perfect buyer. Write an effective listing with the following tips:
Choose Your Words Wisely
One analytics firm reviewed the word choices of a million listings that closed in 2016. Phrases like "open concept" and "natural light" closed more quickly, while listings with "ceramic tile" and "two story" stayed on the market longer. Analysts also found that four word pairs associated with quick closings included "fence" references, indicating that privacy may be a top priority for buyers.
Tell Stories With Emotion
Humans love stories so be sure to capture potential buyers' senses with your words, and try to paint a picture of what it would be like to live in the home. A claw-foot tub becomes a place of solace from the daily grind, and a large yard transforms into a buyer's new outdoor retreat oasis.
Highlight Brand Names
Don't focus solely on basics such as square footage and the number of bathrooms. Instead, identify brands that will stand out from the competition. Everything's fair game — from appliances to fixtures to interior designers or architects who helped with your last renovation. Feel comfortable with name-dropping when it comes to the highlights of the home.
SEO and Listing Details
The 2015 book "Zillow Talk" found that listings as long as 250 words tend to sell at higher prices. And to help grab a potential buyer's eye, give particular attention to the first 10 words. While you write your Listing Summary, use descriptive words that attracts your target buyer. By having 250+ words, that provides further information, this allows the bots to gleam over your information and provides a better opportunity for your Listing to be found by potential buyers. MLS has limited space for you to write….your online marketing Property websites has more space for you to use.

I originally published this post on Food Network Humor.
Thanks to the success of frosty-haired Food Network host Guy Fieri's gameshow masterpiece Minute To Win It, TV execs everywhere are bound to be looking for new ways to use our favorite Food Network hosts on all sorts of prime time game shows. Here are a few of the best ideas so far:
Bros Icing Bros, hosted By Sandra Lee
America's favorite alcoholic semi-homemaker hosts the TV version of this popular internet meme, and helps contestants design snazzy, dollar-store tablescapes in which to hide bottles of Smirnoff Ice from their friends, who are then forced to actually drink the stuff when they unwittingly stumble on it during dinner. Of course, the hardest part of the game is keeping Sandra from drinking all the booze before it even starts.
Are You Smarter Than Alton Brown?
Lovable food geek Alton Brown hosts this quiz show, where participants try to prove they can beat him at food trivia. When they inevitably lose, he forces them to put on a chicken suit and appear in one of those skits on Good Eats.
The Butteriest Loser, With Paula Deen
Paula Deen mentors fifty underweight contestants from across the country, as they embark on a journey to gain weight. Eating nothing but butter, bacon and foods dipped directly in Crisco, the contestants discover what it really means to win big, as they lose their waistlines and gain the kind of self confidence that can only come from seeings busts of themselves rendered entirely in butter.
The Marriage Ref, Hosted By Rachael Ray & John Cusimano
What? You thought this was a game show? Nope, it's just couples counseling. Because the only way John could get Rachael to see a therapist was to allow her to turn it into another TV show.
The Bachelor: Brian Boitano Edition
Brian Boitano cooks up a love match when twenty women try to woo the figure skating foodie over the course of six weeks. Challenges include seeing who can create the most dishes using the words 'nuts' and 'balls', testing who can bust out the best 1992-themed dance moves and seeing who can come up with the best costume for the San Francisco pride parade.

I'm really having a tough time right now. I've had a headache since yesterday morning. I went to bed at 7:30 last night and woke up with the headache still here this morning. I'm hoping it goes away as the day progresses. Not really sure what is causing it? I haven't had a headache like this in- I can't remember? It's TOM so that might factor in. I think I'm probably stressed with my Grandma too. It's a short work week though and I hope it goes quickly. Hubby has the WHOLE WEEK OFF- but I'm stuck at work because of their scheduling system.
I weighed in this morning even higher than yesterday. I feel a little out of control and need to get my emotions under control. If only this headache would go away!

Netflix took a gamble on their original series House of Cards, and its success could mean the end of television as we know it. Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said at a media conference today that it's the most-watched program on Netflix.
He also said that almost all viewers who watched the pilot watched multiple episodes. Sarandos won't give any hard numbers though, because "it is a real apples-to-oranges comparison with network ratings." He also pointed out that there aren't advertisers, so their business model is a bit different. Still, it'd be interesting to see what was most-watched before and how House of Cards compares.
Netflix has spent $100 million for two seasons of the Kevin Spacey series, but Sarandos said that they got more for their money than if they'd spent those millions aquiring other (non-original) programs.
Part two of the entire-season-streaming experiment will begin in May with a new season of Arrested Development, which we're guessing will crash the site and blow past House of Cards. Despite this, Sarandos insists that Netflix is "not trying to dismantle television."

April 21st - Bottle
We've been renovating our house and while cleaning out our pantry, I came across this bottle.
White wine vinegar.
As many of you know, white wine vinegar can only be described as tart. There isn't anything sweet about what's inside this bottle.
Yet the bottle itself is quite attractive and one of the reasons I purchased the product. (Clever marketing)
And then of course I got to thinking.
How often do we meet people who on the outside are attractive and pleasing to the eye, yet when we get to know them it's a completely different story? Inside, they're as tart and sour as this vinegar.
I wonder what would happen if our features matched what was on the inside?
Would many of us run and hide, unable to show the world our true selves?
Who do you know that fits this description? And, how have they effected your life?

If there's time enough to throw it together (took Draftnik, Banshee, and I a couple of hours last time), I'll be showing my crown kite "Swanson's Kaleidoscope". Some of you may remember it from the forums at KiteBuilder.com. Jim Swanson recently won the title of "Kite Builder of the Year" for this particular cellular piece. So far, I've only had it out on display once...at OSOW down in Madison last year. Unfortunately, it was way too windy to attempt flying it. Perhaps we'll get to take it out on it's maiden flight at Dekalb next weekend! :))

In my last post, I mentioned that we wouldn't be going downtown to the main square (called the Zócalo) for the Independence Day "grito." Well, that was a lie, because we did! We spent the evening (and all night, in fact) with one of our students and her family, and they decided that they'd like to go downtown for the grito. It was a perfect year for us to go, actually, because it had been raining and many people had cleared out early so we weren't totally squashed against other people like the metro at rush hour on a rainy day (not a fun experience as I'm sure you can imagine).
You may have heard the news about what happened at the Independence Day celebration in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacán. It's a city hours away from where we live, and nothing like that thankfully happened here in Mexico City. However, Morelia is where the current President of Mexico, Felipe Calderón, was born, and many people here still refuse to recognize him as the true President (including part of the government and part of the police force), so it might have had something to do with that. Nobody is sure yet. But I'll save that for another post…
Anyway, on Monday night, the streets that we walked on from the metro stop to the Zócalo were filled with people having fun throwing confetti and spraying each other with bottles of foam. We decided to get festive with some hats, headbands, and fake moustaches:
When we arrived in the main square, hundreds of thousands of people were still there and it was impressive. Here are some pictures:
Next, a Mariachi band played, and then the President of Mexico came outside on the balcony of the main federal building and led the crowd in the "gritos" to honor national heroes, and finishing with "¡Viva México!" or "Long Live Mexico!" Here is a great video that I took of the "grito."
After the gritos was a fireworks display that was right over the Cathedral. Here's a short video with music and the fireworks.
We were really excited that we got to experience Mexican Independence Day in the Zócalo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Eligibility for TANF in Ohio
Ohio TANF eligibility standards are largely based on income level and other state-mandated requirements. These TANF requirements decide whether an individual or family is eligible to receive financial assistance from the government. The TANF program is designed for low-income families, and it strives to ensure the children from these families have access to the financial resources they need. The program also attempts to cultivate the formation of two-parent households in low-income communities. Keep reading to learn more about the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) eligibility in Ohio.
Who qualifies for TANF in Ohio?
Learning who qualifies for TANF in Ohio does not have to be difficult. As mentioned above, TANF eligibility is largely determined by household income and employment status, and there are strict income limits used to evaluate the eligibility of a household or individual. To be eligible for benefits, you must be a resident of the state of Ohio. You must also be:
- Currently pregnant or financially responsible for a child younger than 19 years of age.
- Categorized as a low or very-low income individual.
- A U.S. citizen or national, permanent resident or legal alien.
- Unemployed or underemployed.
If you meet the TANF requirements listed above, then you will more than likely be able to receive benefits. The state government defines "underemployed" as being employed but earning less than one needs to survive. You may be eligible for TANF benefits if you are currently employed but you believe you will be unemployed in the future.
Find comprehensive information about receiving government assistance in Ohio by downloading our free guide.
Ohio TANF Requirements and the OWF Program
If a person meets the Ohio TANF eligibility standards, then he or she will also qualify for the Ohio Works First (OWF) program. This program is required for anyone who meets TANF requirements and chooses to receive benefits, as it provides families with financial assistance for a limited amount of time. Ohio families can receive cash assistance for a set period, after which, they will need to be approved for an extension (this extension usually requires a hardship). Each county has different TANF requirements in regards to the OWF program, but if you wish to continue receiving benefits, then you will need to provide an acceptable reason.
What are the income limits for TANF in Ohio?
Residents can only find out if they meet Ohio TANF requirements by filling out a Request for Food, Cash and Medical Assistance form from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS). The ODJFS will decide who qualifies for TANF based on applications, and the department will want in-depth information about meeting eligibility requirements such as your income and personal finances before it can make a decision. The ODJFS will ask you for information if you receive income from any of the following sources:
- Full- or part-time employment
- Child, spousal or medical support
- Disability or retirement benefits
- Worker's compensation
- Social Security benefits or SSI
You will also need to provide information about the amount of money in your checking and savings account, any stocks, bonds or annuities you may have. To meet TANF requirements, you will need to provide income information for all the members of your household if they have received any income within the last 60 days.
Evertone who qualifies for TANF will also need to report any expenses they have. If you believe you are eligible for TANF, then you will need to provide details about any expenses the members of your household have as well. These expenses may include child care as well as any child or spousal support payments. You will need to provide an estimate of your medical expenses if you are responsible for anyone who is disabled or at least 60 years of age. Your TANF eligibility may also be impacted by the amount you pay for rent or mortgage and utilities such as gas, electricity and water. If any of your income information changes during the year, then you will need to report the change to the appropriate party immediately.
Review our comprehensive guide for more details about applying for financial assistance in Ohio.
Additional Ohio TANF Requirements
Other Ohio TANF requirements may be implemented by the ODJFS. If an applicant meets the TANF eligibility standards, then he or she may be required to enter into a self-sufficiency contract to receive program benefits. A unique contract may be drawn up for each member of the household that sets forth conditions regarding the employment options and behavior of each individual. The self-sufficiency contract aims to ensure each member of the household is capable of providing for himself or herself at the end of 36 months, and most contracts will include some type of work provision. Unemployed members of the household who meet the requirements for TANF may be required to perform community service or file for child support if they are eligible and have not done so already.
Different TANF requirements may be enforced by different counties. Many counties require all able-bodied and work-eligible beneficiaries to perform a job search on a regular basis. This job search entails filling out and submitting applications, and beneficiaries will need to submit proof of their search. If a family that meets the TANF eligibility standards fails to adhere to any of the terms of their self-sufficiency contract, then they will be sanctioned. If individuals or a family is sanctioned a total of three times, then they may have their TANF benefits revoked for a period of time. Eligible TANF beneficiaries who are already employed, laid-off or involved in a labor dispute may not be required to meet any work provisions.

Hi! I can't thank you enough for visiting my blog.
This blog is about my struggles with mental illness (severe depression with a side of anxiety), my own path toward anti-racism and other forms of bigotry, and my take on things that connect to either (or both) mental illness and social justice.
Feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear from you. Now let's become more evolved. Let's get honest. Let's have tough conversations. Let's get better.

It's tacky to ask the submitter to report their response to Duotrope. Not every writer uses Duotrope anyway.
I do get why they ask, Duotrope's stats are inaccurate. Most people who do use Duotrope are happy to report their acceptances and loath to report rejections. (They show our journal with an acceptance rate 10 times higher than our real acceptance rate.) But still, it seems indecent to ask the writer to report his rejection.
Imagine a rude editor writing "Please report this insulting, self-indulgent tirade of a rejection to LROD." That would be f-ing hilarious.
BTW, we've learned how not to reject writers by reading your blog. Thanks WR and anonymice!

It's always odd when a rejection asks for a favor. Gee, report to Duotrope, what a deal.

Hey I used to keep those stats too!

John Bruce has some egomaniacal things to say regarding his own writing and Foundling Review on his ridculous blog. (Scroll down: it's just a post or two below his tactless criticism of a suicide note.)
- September 2, 2010 at 12:22 PM
john bruce is practically having an orgasm over the vqr tragedy. he's found a way to stay "neutral" on the topic by trashing both sides.
- September 3, 2010 at 1:41 AM
Anyone who criticizes typos in a suicide note and then thinks that's somehow indicative of intellectual weakness must have fathomless insecurities himself. Look up "schadenfreude" in the dictionary, and you'll find a photo of John Bruce. I didn't think it was possible, but he's reached new lows this time, even as he's pumping himself up to greater heights (in his own head, that is). A sad, old man.

I'm wondering why Duotrope manages these statistics. I'm old school, when writers did not imagine they had the right to a speedy response. The net lets us tsunami magazines with submissions, then check to see how quickly they are mowed down. Get lives everyone!
- September 5, 2010 at 9:11 AM
Well, when a journal requests no simultaneous submissions, and you respect that, and they don't reply for six months to a year, or maybe never reply ... that's why we need Duotrope.
But I consult their stats without reporting anything, so I'm part of the problem.

FROM THE PASTOR…..MY DEAR PARISH FAMILY, I hope that many of you are still REJOICING in the EASTER GLORY celebrated just 2 weeks ago. So often, the fervor and joy of Easter ends with parishioners leaving the church doors. As I look back over our celebrations, I am most grateful to all parishioners who came and participated so faithfully. All the services and Masses were well attended, almost having a full church for each liturgy. Your participation and faith expression was very uplifting to me as your pastor. We truly are a faith-filled parish and I am very proud of all parishioners. And I thank all those who were very patient with the parking situation over those blessed days. Because there were so many who attended, parking was at a premium. But it all worked out so beautifully. Even if some might have been parked in, I appreciated the patience shown till others were able to leave the parking area. May God continue to bless us all with the Easter Joy that hopefully will last throughout the year, even in moments of darkness. Remember, the light has come into the world and the darkness will NOT overcome it!
As our parish celebrated the entrance of new members into the Catholic Church, I want to thank MARY ANN SPYCHALSKI and the R.C.I.A. TEAM for a job well done. It truly take a lot of work and preparation to run a successful program – preparing for the various rites, teaching every week on Wednesday, breaking open the scriptures on Sunday and working with each person insuring their readiness for the celebration of the Sacraments. I thank them all for a wonderful job and hope and pray that God may reward them for their work. Thanks to the C.D.A. for preparing the reception following the Vigil. They did a wonderful job and I am sure everyone in attendance appreciated their work. Thanks to all!
I am so happy that many parishioners commented on how beautiful our church looks for our Easter celebrations. Especially appreciated is the Risen Christ statue. I also thought it added a prayerful atmosphere for our liturgies. I am now wondering if there would be interest from parishioners who might be willing to purchase a NEW NATIVITY SET for the church – 24 inch figures painted in life like tones. In just a few weeks Chris Kirkpatrick will have a poster showing the nativity set and the price for each figure. We already have 3 of the figures promised and now others will have the opportunity to purchase other statues to complete the set as a memorial for a deceased loved one or in honor of the families who will buy them. Please take a look at the poster in the baptismal area and if you are interested, let us know immediately by calling Chris at the Rectory stating that you would like to buy a statue that will be placed in the sanctuary every Christmas celebrating the love of God for the world.
I want to remind parishioners once again about our 5K VICTORY RUN that will be held on May 16th to benefit the Athletic Programs at our school. We are hoping to have 200 runners/walkers participate. If you would like to help us reach the goal please go to the website www.olvcatholicschool.org, click on the 5k Victory Button which will take you to the page to donate or the page to sign up for the Victory Run/Walk. Thank you again for all your support, without it there would not be opportunities for the students to participate in the athletic programs at a reasonable cost. If you have questions, please contact Todd Hershbine at [email protected].

Flame Falcons
The Flame Falcons were a Space Marine Chapter created during the Twenty First Founding and based on the world of Lethe. Like other Chapters of the Cursed Founding, the Flame Falcons suffered from mutations in their gene-seed—in this case resulting in their tendancy to spontaneously burst into flame during combat . The Chapter was declared Excommunicate Traitoris and driven from their home world by a force of Grey Knights thereby becoming one of the Renegade chapters.[1]
|Basic Data
|Chapter Symbol
Little is known about the Flame Falcons, except that they were declared Excommunicate Traitoris within a century of their creation. It is said during a campaign on Raffenburg's World, their largest battle yet, that members of the First Company, who were stationed at the front lines at the fiercest of the fighting, began to immolate. This did not harm the Space Marines, only their foes. The lines were reinforced and when news was reported back that the flames were helping the Space Marines, the commander thought it was a miracle, although he had already sent for an Inquisitor, fearing mutation.
The Inquisitor, however, had a different view. Eventually all of the Flame Falcons began to immolate and they began a celebration on their homeworld after the victorious campaign. The Inquisitor had called for the Grey Knights who came and destroyed the mutant marines. It is not known how many marines survived, but there have been sightings of immolated marines on more than one Imperial battlefield.
