These are all subjective, pejorative labels that attempt to describe in medical terms various states of acting or being, visible emotional turmoil or ways of perceiving the world that do not fit into the arbitrary mold of 'normalcy'.

It was more than inedible, the meat supplier Evanger's Pet Food purchased from was a dead animal carcass processor. A company that removes dead animals from farms – including euthanized horses – and processes the meat from those dead animals for sale to pet food.
Some background. In Evanger's lawsuit against meat supplier Bailey Farms, LLC – it states:
Bailey represented to Evanger's that its plant was APHIS certified; when Bailey delivered its beef to Evanger's, each pallets on which Bailey shipped the beef had a tag that contained Bailey's APHIS certificate number "WI.-BLO-0004." This same designation "APHIS #WI.-BLO-0004" was included on bills of lading and invoices Bailey sent to Evanger's.
What is APHIS certified?
APHIS stands for Animal Plant Health Inspection Service. APHIS is a division of the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) but APHIS most certainly does NOT inspect – pass or fail – meat (for human consumption). Explained by the FDA in a previous update regarding Evanger's: "USDA-APHIS provides a voluntary service to facilities that wish to export to certain countries, inspecting their facilities according to standards established by the importing country." An APHIS certification would NOT provide the holder with the ability to process "human grade" meat.
Was the Evanger's meat supplier (Bailey Farms) certified by APHIS for export?
The FDA says no; "The APHIS-assigned number that the supplier was using signifies export certification."
But…was it actually a APHIS number?
I made a phone call to the USDA, APHIS regional office (governing Wisconsin), the office confirmed that Bailey Farms does not hold a current APHIS license. When I provided the APHIS number (stated in the Evanger's lawsuit) to the USDA representative (APHIS #WI.-BLO-0004), I was told this number "was not a APHIS number". The USDA representative stated the number must be a state number (such as in some type of Wisconsin state license). (I have shared everything I have learned with FDA – waiting on a response from FDA on this issue. When clarification is provided by FDA – it will be shared with consumers. I do not know if Bailey Farms ever had an APHIS number or not.)
The next phone call was to Wisconsin Department of Agriculture. Again, Wisconsin Department of Agriculture was not familiar with this type of number. However they did explain that Bailey Farms holds a valid "Animal Food Processor License" within the state (license number 209915-M2). Wisconsin Department of Agriculture stated the Animal Food Processor License held by Bailey Farms would also include the license to transport and process dead animal carcasses into pet food products.
Does a Wisconsin 'Animal Food Processor License' mean the Bailey Farms meat was USDA inspected and approved 'human grade' as Evanger's told consumers?
No. Absolutely no. An Animal Food Processor License does NOT permit the holder with ability to process "human grade" meat. Wisconsin law states: "'Animal food processing' means slaughtering animals or processing carcasses or carcass materials for use as animal feed". And (bold added): "(5) "Carcass" means all or part of a dead animal, as defined in s. 95.72 (1) (c), Stats. "Carcass" does not include any of the following: (a) Material that may be lawfully sold or distributed as food for human consumption.
What kind of 'meat' does Bailey Farms (supplier to Evanger's Pet Food) actually process?
If you Google the street address for Bailey Farms (549 Karem Drive, Marshall, WI), this image is displayed…
Quoting their website "a producer of quality pet food products". But…
The Google Map also tells us there is another business located at the very same location. The other business is "Marshall Stock Removal"…
A Google search for 'Marshall Stock Removal' finds "Bailey Farms Stock Removal"
Bailey Farms and Bailey Farms Stock Removal have the same exact logo, same physical address – they are the same company. Bailey Farms is not a 'farm' at all. Bailey Farms turns out to be a dead animal processor. A company that picks up dead animals (cattle and horses) from area farms and processes meat from these animal carcasses into pet food meat – no matter why the animal died and no matter if the animal was euthanized.
From the Bailey Farms Stock Removal Facebook page we find these images…
Freeze-Dried Dog Treats sourced from dead animal carcasses (non-slaughtered). The Bailey Farms/Bailey Stock Removal dog treats do not disclose they are sourced from dead animal carcasses, but they do include the warning "Not for human consumption – Dog Food" (unlike the Evanger's pet food which marketed the products as "Human Grade" meat).
Are there more 'Bailey Farms' out there? Are more stock removal companies selling dead animal carcass meats – including euthanized horse meat – to pet food companies?
Absolutely there are. In every state – multiple in areas of the US that have large livestock populations – there are companies that remove dead animal carcasses and process the meat into pet food/animal feed. These companies are just like Bailey Farms – selling raw meat processed from the dead/non-slaughtered or euthanized animal carcass. And as well, rendering companies (some) pick up and process dead animal carcasses into pet food ingredients (though these would be rendered ingredients – not raw meat).
Is this legal? Is it legal to sell dog treats/dog food made from dead/non-slaughtered animal material?
Per federal law, it is ILLEGAL for animal food to contain any part of an animal that is non-slaughtered. The Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act defines an adulterated (illegal) food as (in part) "if it is, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter". Repeat: it is a direct violation of federal law for a pet food (any food) to contain even the smallest amount of meat sourced from a dead/non-slaughtered animal.
But…FDA openly allows anyone in the animal food business the opportunity to violate that law without prosecution. The exception is…unless the pet food company or meat supplier gets caught harming an animal.
With canned pet food – opposite to federal law – the FDA openly allows canned pet food to source meat from "diseased animals and animals that have died otherwise than by slaughter" – FDA states "it will be considered fit for animal consumption". But FDA includes this disclaimer:
The Center will consider regulatory action based on low acid canned food violations alone where the report indicates a probable hazard to pets. CVM will also consider regulatory action against canned pet food on the basis of use of decomposed animal tissues or use of tissues containing violative drug residues.
So with the example of Evanger's pet food – since the pet food caused the illness of multiple animals and the death of one, FDA investigated and multiple recalls occurred (again…only AFTER pets got sick and died).
With the use of meat such as that sold by Bailey Farms – sourced from dead animal carcasses – the FDA states:
CVM is aware of the sale of dead, dying, disabled, or diseased (4-D) animals to salvagers for use as animal food. Meat from these carcasses is boned and the meat is packaged or frozen without heat processing. The raw, frozen meat is shipped for use by several industries, including pet food manufacturers, zoos, greyhound kennels, and mink ranches. This meat may present a potential health hazard to the animals that consume it and to the people who handle it.
Districts should conduct preliminary investigations only as follow-up to complaints or reports of injuries and should contact CVM before expending substantial resources.
Review –
FDA "is aware" that meat from dead/non-slaughtered and diseased animal carcasses is sold to pet food manufacturers.
FDA "is aware" that this material is a direct violation of federal law (laws the agency is charged with enforcing).
FDA "is aware" this material "may present a potential health hazard to the animals that consume it".
But…FDA will continue to allow meat from dead/non-slaughtered and diseased animal carcasses to be processed as pet 'food' and will only investigate it a pet dies or is sickened, but won't expend "substantial resources" on the investigation.
Evanger's purchased meat from a dead animal carcass processor – and sold this illegal meat as "human grade" to consumers (even in a pet food claiming "organic"). There was no punishment for a violation of law – only a recall.
By the way…The penalty (per law) for introducing an adulterated food into interstate commerce: "(1) Any person who violates a provision of section 331 of this title shall be imprisoned for not more than one year or fined not more than $1,000, or both."
When will this end? When will FDA enforce law with pet food? When will a pet food company using illegal sources of ingredients be held accountable by law?
Maybe if some pet food companies, ingredient providers and FDA representatives spent a year in jail…maybe pet food would change.
A lawsuit – Pet Food Consumers v. FDA is coming. This has to stop and consumers will sue the FDA – forcing the agency to enforce law. Soon.
Wishing you and your pet(s) the best,

Downtown Longmont Alley Redevelopment and Activation Plan
City of Longmont, CO
The redevelopment of city alleyways into pedestrian-friendly destinations and "backdoor" environments for retail streets is a relatively recent trend in many American cities as communities look to capitalize on underutilized city spaces to enhance the public realm environment. The City of Longmont, in association with the Longmont Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) saw renovation of their downtown alleys as a way to further develop multi-modal transportation and provide new business opportunities for downtown properties.
In the core of downtown Longmont, the majority of the parking areas are located in the blocks east and west of Main Street – often making the back door the first impression visitors have as they walk through the alleys and breezeways to reach Main Street. Previously, the alleys existed as utilitarian corridors with overhead electric lines, visible trash receptacles and access for delivery vehicles. These areas were creating an inadvertent barrier for customers to reach Main Street as well as the cross-neighborhood pedestrian traffic.
To address these issues the City of Longmont and the LDDA undertook a project with Centro to improve the downtown alleys. This project focused on the six alley segments located between 3rd Avenue and 6th Avenue on either side of Main Street and addressed drainage issues, utilities, alley pavement within the 20 feet wide alley right-of-way, trash enclosures and creating a sense of place and identity for Downtown. Centro led on the stakeholder engagement and on identifying highest and best uses of the alleys and how to incentivize private businesses to utilize the alleys once redeveloped.
In 2012, demolition and construction began on the East side of Main Street. Enhancements included utility line burrial, additional light poles, ornamental pavers with increased drainage capacity as well as construction of common trash enclosures. Parking lots were also upgraded throughout the process. Construction on the west side will begin early 2015. The LDDA has already begun to see a catalyst effect of the project, as many property owners have improved their alley entrances.

Minnesota nurses rally against concession demands
Monday, May 17, 2010
More than 12,000 Twin Cities-area nurses will vote on Wednesday on a takeaway contract demanded by six Minnesota hospital systems. If the contract is rejected and no new agreement is reached by the June 1 deadline, a walkout would be the largest nurses' strike in US history. Some 2,500 nurses rallied at locations in St. Paul and a suburb of Minneapolis last week to press their demands.
"This is the eighth week of negotiations and not a single employer has been willing to discuss any of our proposals," Joni Ketter, director of organizing for the Minnesota Nurses Association (MNA) told the World Socialist Web Site. "We're negotiating with six different hospitals at six different tables, and we're confronted with the same basic set of concessions at every table. The hospitals admit that they are coordinating their bargaining. They have lawyers at four of the six tables that are from the same firm. Unless we see a major movement by these hospitals, I think they will be forcing these nurses to make a decision about whether or not to strike."

Nurses aides deserve our thanks
Monday, November 23, 2009
Thanksgiving may be a good time to give medical thanks to a group of people who could be the hardest working, most under-valued bunch in the health care business: nurses aides or nursing assistants.
These folks do the bulk of the basic care for the basic functions (of lot of which malfunction) of hospital patients and nursing homes residents.
These people do the real work that gives patients and nursing home residents the best quality of life they can have, considering their conditions, disease, disabilities and inabilities. These workers turn people, clean them, hoist them, clean them again, feed them, clean them again, rub in moisturizer to relieve their well-worn skin and clean them some more.

Minn. Health Department promises improvements to flu nurse line
Friday, October 23, 2009
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - State officials are conceding Minnesota's new nurse hot line was overwhelmed by flu patients on its first day, and they're pledging to make improvements.
Assistant Health Commissioner Craig Acomb (AY'-kohmb) says operators took 2,100 calls from 11 a.m. Wednesday to 8 a.m. today, and that doesn't count those who got busy signals and gave up.
He says that call volume is "unprecedented" and no one expected that so many flu sufferers would call seeking help.

The Idea
I was hanging at band practice (sadly, just as a listener, as I have no musical talent), when my friend Jen used the term "Mouth Bay". I asked "Mouth Bay? What do you mean?" She said that whenever you say or do something in the South Bay everyone finds out. Then she immediately added "YOU SHOULD PAINT THAT!". So I did. Literally. The first thing that came to mind was two gossipers coming out of a mouth. While the working title was "Mouth Bay", the finished painting became "Say What?!?".
South Bay/Mouth Bay
The South Bay in the Los Angeles area is actually quite large. Within the South Bay is an area, known as "The Bubble", primarily made up of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach. It's this small area where the term "Mouth Bay" originated. While this expression is not well known, it seems to date back about 30 years. And yes, there's a lot of gossiping in South Bay Bubble. But, where isn't there a lot of gossiping?
The Upside of Gossip
Back a few hundred plus years ago in Britain, iron masks were used to punish gossipers, usually women. In more recent times, there have been many studies about the positive aspects of gossip, such social bonding. Check out "Have You Heard? Gossip Is Actually Good and Useful". While gossip can create chaos, it can also be a way for people to cope with chaos. Ok, maybe not chaos, but it can definitely help people cope with stress.
Band Practice
To make a really long story short, I met a local band called "The Farmers" AKA "Farmers" by way of Darren (reference subject for "Big D's Dirty Little Secret") and Joel (hand model for "Rage Against the Machine", muse for "Randy Dreams", and director for this Farmers' video).
Occasionally, I hang out at their band/jam practice. THANK YOU FARMERS and FRIENDS! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have painted "Say What?!?".
A lot has changed since the making of this video: the Pitcher House has moved to Redondo Beach, the original Pitcher House location was revamped and is now Saint Rocke, 705 is now a medical center, the band's website is no more, new songs have been created, and the line up has changed.
But what hasn't changed is our love of rock music, art, and friendship.

With Springtime right around the corner it is a great time to fill our diet with easy to digest foods in preparation for warmer weather and increased activity. Many people turn to harsh detox diets to loose weight and shed extra pounds they put on over the winter. These types of diets deprive the body of important nutrients and brain nourishing fats which leave people feeling hungry and craving more food.
A better solution is to nourish yourself with light, easy to digest nutrient dense foods that satisfy and energize the body. To help you get started here is my latest recipe creation for a Nourishing Vegetable Sipping Broth. The inspiration for this broth came after I was offered a tasty vegetable broth as a warm '"tea" at a friends house. I have been enjoying this warm broth in the morning with a light breakfast and for dinner with a salad. It leaves me feeling energized and very satisfied, I hope it does the same for you.
Nourishing Vegetable Sipping Broth
(Yield 5-6 quarts)
- 9 Quarts Water
- 8 Carrots, unpeeled
- 4 Stalks Celery + Celery Hearts with Greens
- 2 Yellow Onions, with skins
- 8 Cloves of Garlic, with skin
- 8 Green onions, bottom half
- 3 Small Sweet Potatoes, unpeeled
- 1/2 Red Onion, with skins
Herbs & Spices
- 3 Dried Reishi Mushroom Slices
- 3 Bay Leaves
- 3 Inches Fresh Ginger Root, unpeeled
- 1 Sheet Roasted Nori Seaweed
- 3-4 TBS Salt
- 2 TBS Dried Sage
- 1 TBS Dried Oregano
- 1 TBS Astragalus Root Powder or 3 Root Slices
- 3 tsp. Turmeric Powder
- 2 tsp. Roasted Dried Dandelion Root
- 2 tsp. Black Pepper
- 1/2 Lemon, juice and pulp
Fill a 12 qt. soup pot with 9 quarts of water and begin to cook on high heat. Add the lemon juice and pulp, salt, pepper, and turmeric to the pot. Wash the carrots, celery, green onions and sweet potatoes, set aside. Leaving the skins on, quarter the onions and lightly smash the cloves of garlic. Set them aside and begin to chop the other veggies. Cut the ends from the unpeeled carrots and chop them in half lengthwise. Chop the stalks of celery in half lengthwise leaving the celery hearts whole with the greens in tacked. Chop the unpeeled sweet potatoes into chunky rounds. Chop the green onions in half and remove the roots. Slice the unpeeled ginger root into 1/4 inch slices.
Crumble the roasted Nori and add it to the pot along with the Oregano and Astragalus Root powder. Add the veggies and remaining ingredients to the pot, stir. Bring to a roaring boil then lower the heat to medium/low, cover and simmer for 3-4 hours. Stir very occasionally and give the broth a taste. It should be lightly salty and mildly spicy but not overwhelming. Add more salt if necessary although it is not intended to be a very salty broth.
At the end of 3-4 hours, turn off the heat and allow the both to cool about 10 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the veggies and herbs from the pot and place them into a bowl. The veggies are actually quite tasty and can be eaten if you wish, compost that what you don't eat.
There you have it, nourishing, golden veggie broth. Ladle into mugs and sip until your hearts content. Store the broth in glass jars in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze what you don't need for later use. This broth would make a very hearty base for any vegetarian or vegan soup. Enjoy!
*If you don't have access to a 12 qt. soup pot, simply make this broth in the largest pot you have and adjust the amount of ingredients as you see fit.

What better way to kick-start this blog than a Natty Boh on the front stoop on a gorgeous Thursday night in Federal Hill?
Natty Boh is to Baltimore what a Philly Cheesestake is to Philadelphia. Although no longer brewed in Baltimore, Mr. Boh can be seen everywhere from t-shirts to that oh-so-famous Smyth billboard and ad campaign where he is proposing to the Utz potato chip girl (I don't know how Smyth will ever top that one!). Although it is not known as the best tasting beer, there is nothing that says Baltimore more than sitting on your marble stoop drinking the beer "from the land of pleasant living."
I am sure there will be many more Natty Boh's in the next 100 days, but for now cheers to Baltimore and good ol' Mr. Boh!

30 Dec 7 Healthy New Year's Resolutions
Setting a New Year's resolution is easy… sticking to it is the hard part!
While people make resolutions with the best of intentions, they often set themselves up for failure with resolutions that are unrealistic or without a plan to achieve them. To set yourself up for success: Write down your goals, share them with someone who will support you in achieving them, and be sure they are as specific and achievable as possible.
Here are seven small but meaningful changes to consider making.
Eat Mindfully:
The idea here is pretty simple… enjoy your food! Take time to prepare it yourself, savor each bite, eat without distractions (like your phone in hand), and listen to your body. You'll quickly discover that if you do these things, your body will tell you what it needs and when it's full.
Stay Connected:
You're already joined at the hip with your phone… that's pretty much a given in our technology-fixated world. But when was the last time you connected personally with friends or shared real quality time with family? Chances are, it's been too long. A lack of social bonds can damage your health as much as alcohol abuse and smoking, and even more than obesity and lack of exercise, says a 2010 study in the journal PLoS Medicine suggests. It's time to reconnect.
Drink more Water:
Treat yourself to a new water bottle and keep it filled filled and ready for simple sipping throughout the day. Once in the habit, you'll likely consume far less in the way of soft drinks, sugar-loaded juice, caffeine, and alcohol. Reaching for your water bottle can also ward of hunger and impulse snacking which can lead to unhealthy choices and weight gain.
Manage Stress:
We all experience stress from time to time. Short periods can even be good for us. But when stress becomes chronic, it can create or contribute to all sorts of health concerns. From heart disease, to depression, insomnia, and more. For tips on managing stress, click here.
Reduce your Sugar Intake:
The average American consumes over 77 pounds of sugar or sweetener each year, and I'd wager that the average Canadian isn't far behind. Do you really want to put 77 pounds of this disease-causing substance into your body? Really? It's time to cut back! Read labels, bake with less, and cut back gradually. You'll soon discover you can do with far less than you thought.
Achieve your Fitness Goals:
What are your fitness goals? Building muscle? Building endurance? Increasing your flexibility? Find workouts that will help you achieve these goals and that you enjoy. Enjoyment is key if you're going to stick with it. New to exercise and not sure where to start? Consider booking an appointment with a personal trainer or join a gym and ask for some guidance from a staff member.
Stick to a Sleep Schedule:
Many people focus on getting enough sleep, but having a schedule — i.e. going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, can lead to better quality sleep. For tips on getting a better night's rest, click here.

That is the standard because different bounced into a vital cause and also game screening the region are genuinely distinct. All the same, for every one of those which are merely from checking out the problems to start Destiny 2 Xbox and PS4 enhancing, it is eager to choose some time ago the significant advancements to consider keeping in mind the verdict goal to begin developing types occupation being an expert game analyzer.
Installation dates are frequently remarkably unbending, having adequate energy weight of the calling, as well as in addition a good deal of additional mins could be, currently and also after that, rather undesirable.

You need good API docs if developers are going to have success with their integrations. Just as importantly, your docs are also like marketing material. If on first reading, the prospective user doesn't understand how your product works or thinks it would be a nightmare to integrate, you're in trouble. Derric Gilling, CEO/co-founder at Moesif, having put a lot of thought into the Moesif docs, gives you the lowdown on how to design good REST API docs.
First choice off the bat is how to organize your docs at the highest level. There are three schools of thought: centralized docs with a separate API reference, centralized docs and no separate reference or decentralized docs. Your preference will depend on your needs.
Moesif along with Stripe, among others go for option one. The main motivation is to serve two types of reader: developers looking at overall integration or those looking for the particulars of the API. In cases where you expect most users to integrate your API through a wrapper or SDK, it makes sense to put the REST API docs someplace else. The overall benefits of the approach are: making sure the right users go to the right place and the ability to have different layouts. The downsides are: it can put your API reference in the shade and it doesn't really work if you only have one level of integration (i.e. no SDKs, wrapper libraries).
Companies like Mixpanel and Square on the other hand centralize docs but have no separate API reference. This choice makes sense when your docs are targeting non-developers such as product managers. The risk with a separate API reference is that you put off these users if they land in the wrong place. The benefit of this approach is that you make sure the REST API reference is no second-class citizen. The downsides are you have to compromise on layout and the docs can get confusing if you have a lot of documentation.
The decentralized docs approach is favored by the likes of Twilio. Twilio siloes its docs according to product (e.g. SMS, video, authentication). This makes sense where readers are only interested in one part of the API for one product and don't want to be distracted by talk of other products. The big plus of this approach is that you can just read the part of the docs that is relevant to you. You can also scale the docs by product team. The downsides on the other hand are that you can create artificial silos between products and it can be hard to organise get started guides when relevant information is split across products.
Derric concludes his post by listing some useful tips on how to design and publish your docs. Without question, go for sticky navigation so the user doesn't need to scroll to the top to go where he wants. Preferably have sidebar navigation with an accordion design to avoid clutter. In a similar vein, Derric recommends saving the user's scroll state so he can go back to the same place after refreshing the page.

Thier toes. Really come on now you can admit it. I just have to do my big toes… the rest are smooth. And really I only get like 3 or 4 hairs.
Today I decided to wax them. What was I thinking. Oh my poor big toes!!!!!!!
don't call me twinkle toes… and don't call me hairy toes either ROFL are you not all SO GLAD I shared this with you?
MAR27 add: You all crack me up! The tan lines ROFL
Suddenly I feel like singing "in the jungle the mighty jungle the Lion sleeps tonight…"
And by the way ROFL my hairy toes are a hit you shoulda seeeeen all the footprints I had… only ten comments hmmm.. perhaps those footprints on my xanga were hairy ones who still shave in shame? HEHEHEHE
Now all we need to complete this laughter is to find a guy who does it ROFL
MAR 28 update – OK my Music Minister informs me that tweezers hurt yet even more. Now I have to wonder.. how many different forms of torture have you put you toes under! I've shaved and waxed so far. I don't know if I would have done the tweezers.. but then again her logic makes sense… one or two hairs tweezers quick.. but not so painless ROFL Who here has cut the poor toe? The stinker bleeds like nothing else ROFL.

Bakersfield Second Saturday
SERVICES: Brand Strategy • Brand Identity + Logo System • Collateral • Website Design • Program Development
Second Saturday brings the community and local businesses together in Downtown Bakersfield.
Second Saturday is a monthly event downtown. We connect with the farmer's markets and businesses open on Saturdays to create a fun, family-friendly experience.
We work with businesses to encourage special discounts, offers or experiences to make Second Saturday an event that is not to be missed.
Every month, we release a new map of downtown the Monday before Second Saturday. The map includes details about all the businesses, farmers markets + events happening so that attendees can plan their route for the day.
Situation + Strategy
Second Saturday is a community gathering centered around Downtown Bakersfield that launched in October 2017. We partnered with Councilman Andrae Gonzales to revamp the offering, create a brand identity + website and manage all the connection points between organizers + local businesses.
The main need for this partnership was to find a way to involve businesses, both brick + mortar and vendor-based, by providing an opportunity for them to showcase themselves to the community.
Bakersfield's growth is contingent on downtown. While there are many places to visit in the area, most people aren't aware of the offerings + events that make Downtown Bakersfield such a great place to spend time. We also need to bring more business downtown. By focusing on the storefronts, we're able to share where they're located and keep them top-of-mind for prospective visitors.
Plan + Implementation
Our first course of action was to craft a strategy that was repeatable monthly, scalable + exciting for the community. We decided to center our offering around a monthly map, released the Monday prior to the event, to gather attention and share details with our community. We invested time to communicate with each business who signed up to create a special offer for attendees of Second Saturday—from a photobooth to 40% off to free accessories.
We designed a website using SquareSpace to communicate our vision, gather email addresses and provide more information for interested businesses.
We also partnered with Lex & Ev, a duo creative team, to photograph + capture video of our December Second Saturday. We wanted our imagery + video to set us apart from other community events as the top tier of community-oriented marketing + branding. [click here to watch]
Each month, we facilitate sign ups using our website, design custom maps + marketing materials, generate content for our social media channels and advertise so that businesses gain more traffic every Second Saturday.
Results + Transformation
Our community looks forward to this monthly gathering, and it is a great marketing tool for local businesses to leverage. Sign-ups each month exceed our expectations. Our hope is that this event helps foster a positive view of Downtown Bakersfield while boosting the local business economy.

Welcome to That Weird Girl Official
Hello my lovelies!
Before I even begin, Happy New Year loves, I hope this year brings you joy and fulfills your wishes!
Now, since I do product recommendation in the beginning of every month, this month I would be reviewing three products hmm. I recently got these items as sweet New Year presents and well, I really love them and wanted to share it with you all.
The Maybelline Electro Pop in Orange has been fairly new in India. This is a tinted lipbalm with a slight orangish tone. This is very much like the Baby Lips that come and leaves lips moisturized and flavorsome (yum!) If you are in search of good lipbalms, which you should be since the weather is harsh and cold, then invest in this one.
Price: 165 INR
Color show by Maybelline are really affordable nail paints that lasts long and do not solidify in the bottle disgustingly. The shade that I got is a code 015 Nude Skin which is such a lovely color! It makes the nails look very natural yet very flawless.
Price: 85 INR
Lotus Herbals in very much an Indian brand and has a great reputation for being gentle on skin. The Lotus Herbals White Glow range has been a complete winner for me with spot on day and night cream, and of course this deep clean facial foam wash. The Lotus Herbals' White Glow Deep Clean Facial Foam Wash is an amazing product that would not leave your skin stretchy after the wash, which makes it a complete charmer. It leaves skin really soft and your skin is oil based, you have to buy this!
Price: 185 INR
Which one is it that you would like to try? I would love to know 🙂

2014 !!
A new year, a turning of a page. Celebrations were plentiful and a sadness appeared as I was packing all the seasonal finery away for the year. It has become a tradition for me to have a small, cut tree, fresh greenery and many candles and lights to warm our home for the holidays. This year was no different, but a feeling of sadness came as things were put away this year. It took a few days to figure it out. I loved that little tree. I felt a deep connection to the shape, the size, the way it held energy in the corner, and continued to drink the water I gave it. This year, I left it up a little longer, and when I was ready to let it go, it reminded me of other losses in my life. The sadness came and went.
Today we placed it in the woods to become a home for birds for the rest of the winter. It will decompose quickly in the next year and give the earth some new mulch, becoming unrecognizable within 2-3 years. There is always a controversy around buying a cut tree. Our world is full of them....controversies and cut trees. I choose to buy a tree in keeping with the tradition of our family celebration, knowing all along that our environment is over burdened and over stressed in many ways including the creation of Christmas tree production.
There was also joy in bringing that tree home. The smell of the pine, the outdoors, the green after all the gray days. This picture is the cover on the CD I created in 2001 For The Love of the Earth~( http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/fasone ) and I still do! Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall. I gave the tree back to the Earth today with a big THANK YOU to the tree, and I am grateful I was able to enjoy that which gave it's new life away for the sake of beautifying our living room.
In gratitude for another well-lived year!

Hey all!
I just finished my last final on Tuesday. It is so weird to think I only have 2 semesters left until I finish school. You may also have noticed something different about me… It could be that I am a brunette again! I feel so much better going back to brown because I just look like me. I feel a lot like myself again. So needless to say we are going to keep up with this hair color for awhile. 😉
I decided to break out my old shirt that I made last year you can see the original post located here. I actually lived in this shirt pretty often it is just that comfy. I wore it with my leopard scarf and other neutral tones. I have had some fun and fancier outfits lately I really wanted to do something casual *my version of casual.* I also got my hair done when I took these photos and I was feeling super extra and put on my favorite sunglasses!
Great news! I don't think I talked about it (I probs have) but my favorite blogger Liz from With Wonder & Whimsy she included me in her article in FabUPlus magazine located here. I just have to say that it is so cool to me that I have a magazine issue that I am included in. Even if its super small it was something that was very big to me. AND ITS LIVE!! Go read the article and show some love.
On a Christmas spirit note… I have some fun holiday posts planned for the rest of the month so get excited! 🙂
Enjoy this post!

Due to my spring break I was able to actually get out and enjoy a must-see comics film on its opening weekend. I was a bit wary, natch, as many reviews had trashed the film, but I kept a "must see for myself" attitude as many I know who know comics said the film was rather good.
To be sure, there are some definite weak spots, but as a whole the film is enjoyable.
--Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Yeah, I can't quite believe it either, but honestly, Affleck is the BEST Batman we've seen. Yes, better than Christian Bale. However, Ben is only slightly better than Adam West. (I'M JOKING!) I'm serious, here. Affleck was sensational.
--Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Not only is she beyond gorgeous, during the climactic battle scene she showed the zeal for combat that we've come to associate with the Amazonian.
--Nods to comics stories. I'm not nearly as versed on DC as I am Marvel; however, the obvious nods to the alternate reality tale Injustice were very well done. And need I mention The Dark Knight Returns?
--Tie-in to Man of Steel. The first cinematic DC Universe meld was executed very well. The opening montage with Bruce Wayne zipping through a battered Metropolis during Superman and Zod's epic confrontation in MoS was almost perfection (aside from Wayne having to tell a subordinate to vacate his building which is almost right next to the Kryptonian world engine leveling the city!! WTF?).
--The Supes-Lois Lane love affair. Good idea, but needed more fleshing out. Given the length of the film, what's the deal? I'm also not keen on Amy Adams as Lois -- it reminds me of the looks mismatch between Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. Almost.
--Doomsday. A villain this big deserves more development and attention. Plus, his first incarnation looks like a huge pile of shit.
--Why is Wonder Woman around? Are we really supposed to buy that she's trying to get that photograph back from Luthor? Because that's all we were really fed, given her response(s) to Bruce Wayne. But I don't mind much -- again, Gadot is breathtakingly gorgeous!
--Sneak peeks at upcoming Justice League members. They seemed quite forced: Wonder Woman checking out each (video) file that Batman sent her? Yeah, maybe. But it came off as rather cheesy.
--Lex Luthor. Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal is really the only -- but significant -- downside of the flick, in my opinion. It's as if he's trying to be the Joker. Luthor is a cut-throat, amoral (thanks, Duff!) businessman, not a raving lunatic, but that's how Eisenberg plays him. And it's awful.
The film is long, yes, but it pretty much needs all that time to adequately establish everything without coming off as rushed (aside from the Doomsday plot). Some of the flashback and dream sequences perhaps could have been edited down (did we really need that additional -- and repeated -- young Bruce Wayne scene?), but as a whole they worked.
I read one review that compared (negatively) the "busyness" of the film to Spider-Man 3. I disagree. Outside of the time needed for a better development of Doomsday, BvS is far superior.
Be sure to check out Doug Ernst's review as well.Posted by Hube at March 29, 2016 11:20 AM | TrackBack
I was sitting in the theater on the first Friday with my twins and my grandson, fifteen seconds away from the previews starting, when my phone buzzed to tell me my wife had had a biking accident that we eventually learned broke three bones in her wrist. So I did not get to see it for another week. (And, damn, those first tix were for Imax 3-D).
But here's my take:
1) The length did not bother me in itself--you're right about needing that for plot purposes, but if you are going to do such a long film, don't torture me with those grinding slow motion "drama" shots like how long it takes young Bruce to fall into the hole, or the shell taking forever to fall out of the breech of the gun at Superman's funeral. Length was fine; pacing could have been better.
2) Ben Affleck was a great Batman, Gadot was a glorious Wonder Woman, and Superman himself was very, very good. That said, Lois Lane and Perry White were poorly cast and in general detracted.
3) Exactly my thought about Luthor--Eisenberg was going for Heath Ledger or something, and it clanged all over the film. The whole point of Lex Luthor is cool, rational, intellectual evil; this was the Joker with a factory.
4) One of the strengths of the film was understanding that Superman could be out-thought. Having so many super powers made life mentally easy--what's the point of worrying about tactics when you can just walk through any ambush? So I loved that both Luthor and Batman consistently out thought Supes throughout the movie.
5) Wonder Woman looking through the pics of Flash, etc., was cheesy, but God I did love that old photo of WW.
6) Gratuitous useless shots that should have been edited: the montage of Batman pumping iron to be able to wear the suit!? Gimme a break.
7) My favorite Easter Egg--that Holly Hunter played a DEMOCRATIC senator from Kentucky. (I'm just pissed that they killed her because I think she's got one of the sexiest voices in the business.)Posted by: Steve Newton at April 2, 2016 03:05 PM
It was a C movie at best. The trailer for Cap was more exciting. I had the feeling going in the movie was going to be dark in both the way it was shot and the overall feeling.
Affleck was ok as Batman but he was too big. Ive always believed Bruce Wayne to be suave and debonair. When he put on a three piece suit he looked like one of Luca Brasci's henchmen. His performance was good overall.
Lex Luthor was WAY over the top. Again, I thought he was an evil genius. Not a completely obvious psychopath.
I liked WW. She was pretty good.
Overall, the holes in the plot were big enough to drive the budget of the movie through.
Are the DC comics movies and ABC broadcasting owned by the same people? If so it would have been neat to see the kid who plays Bruce on GOTHAM play the young Bruce in the movie.Posted by: Arthur at April 4, 2016 09:28 AM
One other thing. How the hell are they going to make an Aquaman movie? That scene with him was terrible. How can you have a guy who supposedly lives underwater not look completely uncomfortable underwater? You could tell he was holding his breath and was having trouble keeping his eyes openPosted by: Arthur at April 4, 2016 10:22 AM
To maybe add some context to the portrayal of Luthor - I'd say the full-on craziness didn't start until he tried to absorb "the knowledge of 100,000 worlds" (or whatever the Kryptonian computer said). Driven temporarily mad by information overload/alien concepts, he'll be back.
Just a hunch.Posted by: Brud Lee at April 12, 2016 01:21 PM

However recently the RBN began to draw some unwelcome attention from bloggers and the US media, forcing it to try to vanish from view.
It actually relies on what you intend on doing and what the company you're employed for asks from you. In some instances, you may have to do some net designing. When searching for a PR job, it is perhaps helpful to know the fundamentals of HTML coding. The fundamentals give the employer an thought of what you are able to do. They may ask you to design a website for the corporate's first time and so they'd need the reassurance that you simply understand what you're doing and that the company doesn't should spend more money on bringing on a web design team when the company might imagine that you possibly can simply do it your self. You needn't realize it every single element about coding, just the fundamentals.

Springton Manor
I love spring, as in the season... and I really love Springton Manor, especially after getting a chance to not only see the lambs but also getting to pet them! I was looking for something fun to do with both boys and I thought this would be perfect. It was pretty crowded, and that one LOUD mom kept following us around, but the boys only had eyes and ears for the animals. Finn is an animal fanatic and when we finally did get a chance to pet the baby goat he went right for his tail. It was so great and I'm bummed that I missed that photo opp.

José Organic
José is a company based in Argentina focusing on packaged premium infusions. The design brief consisted in creating a complete branding experience including corporate identity, brand names and two distinct lines of teas, one traditional based on mono-herbs and one more contemporary in nature (blends) to reach diverse markets.
In a country with a history of bulk products, the difficulty presented was foremost that of differentiation and secondly , to design a product that would stand out even in export markets. The minimalist design was up to then, unthinkable according to current standards and resembling aesthetics mostly associated with beauty products. José has been displayed in department stores such as Harrods, Selfridges and the Bon Marche, to name a few and had a presence in North America, Japan and the rest of Europe.
In addition, the engineering of production methods, including the use of new materials such as muslin cloth and man made fibres for industrial production, the application of the brand to a variety of products and use in trade shows, promotional materials and the development of a tea house / pop-up shop followed on the initial concept.
José has been a ten year project that culminated in the selling of the company to Cachamai Argentina, one of the country's biggest tea manufacturers.

Latest News
Comedian Chris Porter won't talk politics. He says you can watch CNN for that.
Chris Porter stays away from controversial material like the NFL steers clear of Colin Kaepernick.
"I avoid politics and religion and anything else like that which isn't fun," Porter says while calling from his Los Angeles home. "I want everyone to come out and see me to have a good time. These are very polarizing times. I don't want to bring anyone down. If they want to experience what I won't talk about, just watch CNN."
When Porter performs Friday and Saturday at Goodnights Comedy Club, guests can expect personal bits. "I like to talk about dating and random stuff like that," Porter says. "I can make people happy by just talking about how bad my dating experiences are. I just got dumped. We were friends for 12 years. We dated for two months and that was it. I guess I'm like that restaurant you drive by all of the time. When you finally go in there, you realize it's not so good and you leave."
Porter could give perennial lovelorn comic Richard Lewis a run for his money in the sad sack department. However, don't feel bad for Porter, who is enjoying life in Los Angeles much more than he did in his native Kansas.
"I went back to Kansas for Thanksgiving and there was six inches of snow on the ground," Porter says. "My blood has thinned since living in LA. I had to get out. I love living in Los Angeles."
Porter talks about his adoptive city during his act. The "Last Comic Standing" alum loves running into Hollywood's has-beens.
"Everyone asks me if I see any Kardashians and the answer is no," Porter says. "We don't run in the same circles. I only see weird celebrities. I just did a show and Kato Kaelin was part of it. He's a super nice guy and my favorite thing about him is that he will talk about the past. But what tops that is a recent experience with Fabio. We're in an Italian restaurant and Fabio walks in and my mother couldn't stop laughing. He was just being very Fabio but my mother had to leave the room since she was in hysterics."
Porter wears glasses but may need to visit an ophthalmologist soon since he recently failed to recognize super model Cindy Crawford backstage at a concert after they were introduced. "She told me her name is Cindy and I still couldn't figure out who [she]was," Porter admits. "In my defense, it was dark there and I wasn't on her mole side."
Too much complaining
Wimpiness bothers Porter. "It's one thing to be in touch with your emotions but what's going on today is ridiculous," Porter says. "People complain more than ever and I like to talk about how people don't do anything. We hire people to do simple things. When I was growing up, we fixed things. We didn't go to an app to see who we could hire to help. When we needed a deck, my dad built it. We would go out and get wood and some bolts and build the thing. I can't help but compare this era to how things were 20 years ago."
Porter will be making his debut in the Triangle. "I'm surprised that I've never been to Raleigh," Porter says. "I'm preparing for it. I bought some new undershirts and a coat. It'll be cold in Raleigh. Cold to me is anything under 50 degrees. Remember that my blood is thin since I've been out in Los Angeles for a long time."
Who: Chris Porter
Where: Goodnights Comedy Club, 861 W. Morgan Street, Raleigh
When: Friday and Saturday, 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Tickets: $22 and $30 Friday, $25 and $33 Saturday

The CPSC issued a recall for 167,000 Kidde fire extinguishers. According to the CPSC, the hazard posed by the extinguisher is that the "pressurized cylinders in the recalled fire extinguishers could lose pressure and fail to operate. In the event of a fire, this failure could put a consumer and property at risk".
The recall applies to "Kidde XL Fire Extinguishers with model numbers FX340SC, FX340H, FX340GW, XL5MR, FX210R, FX340SC-2, FX210W, XL2.5TCZ-4, E-340-3 and with manufacture dates between October 2007 and April 2008. "Kidde" and the model number can be found on the label on the front of the extinguisher. The manufacture year is on the bottom of the extinguisher. If your extinguisher is one of the listed model numbers and is marked with the year 07 or 08, contact Kidde to determine if you have a recalled extinguisher".
The extinguishers were sold at stores across the country from October 2007 through April 2008 for $35. If your extinguisher has lost pressure, the meter on the extinguisher will be in the redzone. Contact Kidde for a free replacement if your extinguisher has lost pressure.
