Many of us enjoy snuggling close to our pets and despite misguided news reports detailing health risks, most of us will continue to do so.
But, there is a risk of sleeping with pets and it has to do with diseases carried by our old enemy, the flea. So, what's the best way to shut down this annual pest? Fleas may be one of our pets' worst enemies, but they don't have to conquer your pet or your home.
The most common type of flea in the U.S. is the Ctenocephalides felis…or the Cat Flea. Despite its name, this species will feed from cats, dogs and even humans. These wingless insects attack both people and pets and feed by drawing blood from their host.
While most people relate to the irritation of flea bites, fleas can transmit more serious diseases. Flea allergy dermatitis is certainly the most common problem associated with fleas, but they can also transmit Bubonic Plague, tapeworms and Feline Infectious Anemia.
The challenge of winning the flea battle lies in understanding the flea's life stages, then attacking all levels of the life cycle.
Female cat flea - A single female flea can lay 20-50 eggs at a time, creating over 2000 fleas in her life span of three months. With just 25 adult female fleas that equates to more than a quarter of a million fleas in only 30 days!
The non-sticky eggs fall off the pet, ending up in your carpeting, pet bedding or furniture upholstery. Outdoor environments such as leaf litter, lawn or mulch in moist and shady areas are also ideal environments for egg incubation.
Flea eggs hatch after 1-10 days (depending on the temperature and level of humidity) into larvae. These larvae feed off flea feces and debris, then molts three times in a 5-25 day period before spinning a cocoon (pupae). The flea pupae then hatch in as few as 5-9 days to the fully formed adult….OR they can remain dormant for up to five months.
Adult fleas comprise only about 5% of the entire flea population. The remaining 95% consists of eggs, larvae and cocoons in the pet's environment. It's easy to see how the flea can quickly invade and even overrun your home.
Expert "Flea Guru", Dr. Michael Dryden recommends a combination of products and procedures. The very important first step is a visit to your veterinarian. "You can beat the fleas, but you have to purchase the right products." Flea products obtained from a veterinarian have been proven effective through rigorous testing. Topically applied products like Frontline, Advantage & Revolution have worked well in the battle against the flea as has the orally administered pills, Capstar and Comfortis. With the rapid life cycle of the flea, the product must have a kill ratio of 90-95% to be considered effective. Anything less will not do the job completely.
Dr. Dryden continues "That's not the case for (generally less expensive) over-the- counter products. Natural and organic doesn't necessarily mean safe. I'm all for green and saving the planet. But I am also all for using a product which is proven safe for my pets."
Shampoos and collars are less effective and in some cases can even cause harm to your pet. For example, the wrong dose of your dog's flea product can have devastating and even life-threatening results if given to your cat. It may sound silly, but the EPA estimates that this mistake happens thousands of times every year!
Once the flea does appear, Dr. Dryden promotes a 3-part plan. The first step: eradicate the existing fleas on your pet. Proper product usage is very important and, remember, one dose won't eliminate all the different stages.
Flea spray label - Secondly, it's necessary to ensure that you have rid the premises of the fleas. Use products that contain Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs) to kill flea eggs and larvae. Your outdoor environment may need to be professionally treated. You need to regularly clean the indoor areas frequented by your pets.
Treat ALL dogs and cats….not just the affected pet. And all pets should be treated for at least three to six months to ensure total elimination.
Thirdly, prevent new infestations with lifelong flea control. Using a veterinarian recommended flea product will kill all levels of the flea infestation. If the flea can't reproduce, it will become extinct. However, if even one cycle of flea prevention is missed, the battle will continue.
Knowing how to combat fleas is really more than half the battle. And although they are hardy little critters, we do have safe effective products to fight these bugs. Ask your veterinarian for product recommendations and advice.

Garnet Bella Beans necklace in silver. A pop of cherry red flashes from deep inside this luscious oval garnet cabochon bezel set in fine silver and attached to a small Funky Link chain in sterling silver. The necklace is about 18 inches long and is finished with a lobster clasp. I make these chains completely by hand, one link at a time (the lobster clasp is machine made). The garnet is 10.1x12.1 mm and has a rich red color, like a fine red wine. This garnet does not show any brown hues, or muddy color. The bezel setting was made from fine silver and hand fabricated to fit the stone. The back of the permanently affixed setting is closed. There is a very tiny cultured freshwater pearl adjacent to the clasp.

• as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to complete your purchase, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
• if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
• as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

• Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
• Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

Absolutely! I love to share photos of my work. Whether you purchase your cultured Tahitian pearls from me, or from any other vendor, always ask for additional photos in natural indirect daylight, indoor lighting, etc. Tahitians can look much different under different lighting conditions. I do use a lightbox to photograph my offerings, however, I also try to include at least one natural lighting shot in each listing.
Lighting plays an important role when viewing cultured Tahitian pearls. It is best to examine your new piece under natural, indirect lighting (next to a covered window) on a white surface, like a paper towel or tissue. Direct sunlight will show luster, but indirect lighting will highlight the overtones.
Cultured Tahitian pearls require a bit of special care. Please store them in a soft cloth pouch, or in a velvet lined jewelry drawer. Do not store them with other items, especially hard stones like diamonds. Pearls can scratch. Remember that any pearl jewelry should be the very last item you put on before leaving your house. Apply all cosmetics, hair products, and skin care products prior to putting on your pearls. When you take them off, wipe them down with a soft terry cloth or micro fiber cloth (those glasses microfiber cloths are great!) The nacre on cultured Tahitian pearls is much thicker than other types of pearls, so they can be worn without worry.
Your new strand of cultured Tahitian pearls should be inspected periodically. If you wear them often (believe me, you will want to wear them!) have them restrung at least once a year. Look for signs of thread wear like frayed knots, loose knots, or broken thread.
When creating finished jewelry, many factors are considered in pricing. Each oyster can be implanted with only one nucleus at a time. It is incredibly labor intensive, and not always successful. Cultured Tahitian pearls receive no treatments, other than drilling. They are rare gems from the sea, cultivated by man.
I am absolutely available for trunk shows, in home shows, and other collaborations!
I want to ensure that you receive your purchase in a timely and secure fashion. For packages delivered to the US I offer free shipping via USPS Priority Mail 2-3 day shipping with tracking, insurance and signature required. FedEx 2-day, if available to your location, is an additional charge. For International buyers, I use USPS Priority International Mail service, with tracking and insurance; delivery times vary depending on the country. Note to international buyers: all taxes, duty, and vat charges are buyer's responsibility; please note that I do not accept forced returns for non payment of customs fees; US law requires that I declare actual value of an item on all customs forms, and actual value will be reported.

"I do what I do instinctively, and that's me. If you like me, that's fine; if you don't like me then don't watch me." - Colin Fletcher
If you've followed the career of Sunderland, England's Colin Fletcher or watched him on the TUF Smashes series, you'll understand when he declares, "I am a clown."
The question is, will the man known for elaborate entrances befitting a man nicknamed "The Freakshow" be bringing any extras with him for his Smashes final bout against Norman Parke this week?
"It will just be me," said Fletcher. "It's too expensive to fetch an entourage and then you've got to feed them."
Very true. Luckily, having Fletcher around by himself is entertaining enough, and it's why he's one of the most intriguing debutants to hit the UFC in a while. And that's not even counting what he does in competition as well, where he's compiled a 9-1 record with eight submission wins, as well as the two victories over Ben Wall and Richie Vaculik that have put him one win away from a UFC contract. But of course, the first thing you will notice is the occasional clown makeup and the always fun-loving attitude.
"I'm not trying to fill a space," he said. "I don't want to be the person who everybody goes 'oh, he's entertaining, blah, blah, blah.' I just do me and if people like me, that's fantastic. I'm over the moon with the response I'm getting. I'm getting loads of followers on Twitter and I'm getting comments every day, and everybody seems to be very, very warm and nice. But I'm not doing what I do for that aspect of things. I do what I do instinctively, and that's me. If you like me, that's fine; if you don't like me then don't watch me. I tried for a long time to fit in with people and stuff, and I'm just a bit silly and wild. I do what I want and I have a lot of fun with it, and that's all I can do."
And if he says it's just his natural personality, you can't argue with him because it doesn't come off as artificial. Yet for all the pre-fight antics, he wouldn't be here if he couldn't fight, and he showed his stuff both on the UK scene and on Smashes, putting to rest any thought that he was an entertainer and not a fighter.
"I wouldn't be comfortable going in to fight dressed up like an idiot if I was an actual idiot," he laughs. "That's one of my favorite quotes. You might look at me walking into the cage and think 'this man looks like an absolute idiot.' Therefore, if I step in that cage and there was any doubt and if I wasn't ready, then I would be an idiot. Every time I step into that cage I'm more than confident that whoever I fight, I'm prepared to give them a tough fight. I want to fight to the best of my abilities, and hopefully the crowd will react to that and enjoy themselves."
That approach helped him survive six weeks on Smashes and emerge as one of the two lightweight finalists, even if he does say "I've survived worse, to be honest." Keeping it light while showing up when called to fight is a gift though, and his approach seemed to work like a charm.
"I'm always very light anyway," said the 29-year-old. "I'm not a big stress person. I'm very, very light-hearted with everything really. I like to spend a lot of time playing with my kids and I think that keeps it nice and light-hearted, so I don't get stressed by a lot. And to be honest, I get paid to do my dream job and I consider myself a very lucky man."
If there was any stress involved for Fletcher, it was the initial idea of fighting Parke, who he became good friends with on the show. He even wrote on his official UFC bio form, "I love Norman Parke, he's like a little brother to me, but I love my wife and kids more so I'm going to have to hurt his feelings to provide for them. I'm sure he'll forgive me."
When reminded of this, Fletcher hasn't strayed from those feelings in the slightest.
"I do love Norman and he does seem like a little brother to me," he said. "He kinda acts like I did when I was a bit younger and he's a fantastic lad, and I hope he has a mint career down the line. But he's not gonna stop me providing for my family; nobody is."
And as time has gone by since taping in Australia ended, Fletcher has been able to distance himself in a way that he wouldn't have been able to do if the two fought while on the show.
"It would have been really difficult to fight him in the house I think because we were spending a lot of time together," he said. "But now that we've spent a long time away from each other, I think it's gonna be pretty much the same as all the others."
A Team UK chat with their coach, Ross Pearson, who faced the same situation when fighting teammate Andre Winner in the TUF 9 finale, also eased the fighters' minds as well.
"We did have a little bit of a chat about it, all of us sitting around together as a team, and it's just something you have to do," said Fletcher. "You just gotta grit your teeth and get on with it. It's not nice, but it's one of those things. Everybody wants it, it's just who wants it the most."
Fletcher, a married father of two, wants it pretty bad, and it's been that way since he discovered mixed martial arts around six years ago. It wasn't easy getting up to speed on all aspects of the game, but once things started to click, he was hooked.
"What I struggled with was coming from a striking background and a bit of a rough upbringing background where I was fighting with my fists all the time," said Fletcher, who turned pro in 2008. "It was kind of strange to just roll about on the ground and it was the transition between using all your strength and technique. You don't have to be really, really strong and athletic, and sometimes setting up traps and things work better. So it was like a puzzle very early on. But as soon as I caught on, it really intrigued me and I said I've got to get better at this because I've got the right kind of fighting mentality to set people up for things."
Nine wins and a lone loss have followed, but despite the eight wins he's picked up by tap out, he doesn't fancy himself a submission artist.
"My first couple fights I ran out and steamrolled people very quickly," he said. "Obviously the opposition got a little bit tougher and you can't do that anymore, and I took a bit of a deep breath and figured out that if I put a lot of pressure on people early on, I could try and get it to the ground and things like that. And that's how I got a lot of victories off chokes. I wasn't hunting for submissions; I was trying to knock people out, and that was making them shoot to take me down in a sloppy fashion, so I was finishing them with submissions. I was blending the fact that I love to stand and strike with the fact that I can manipulate you to shoot in sloppily, and catch you while you're doing that."
So as the biggest fight of Colin Fletcher's career approaches, what should we call him? A striker, a submission artist, a comic, or "The Freakshow"? None of the above, according to Mr. Fletcher.
"I'm an MMA fighter and that's what I love about the whole thing," he said. "It's open to interpretation, isn't it? There's no one thing over another."

If everything goes according to plan, I'll be home in France in two weeks. It's been four years since I have not been back and it was not for lack of planning or trying. Just happened that way. But now, as we get closer to the date, I buzz about even faster. As B. said "now you're like a buzzy bee on a sugar high"… There is so much to do, straighten out, finalize, revise…Things I don't want to do while away. People to see, places to be, milestones to celebrate. Life. Family. Time. Away.
I am already thinking about all the flavors of my childhood. Lavender fields, apricot jam and cherry clafoutis, cantaloupe with a splash of port wine, nectarines, barbecues and Champagne and cassis cocktails. Picking berries on the side of the roads by the Durance river. The juice of fresh peaches trickling down my chin, and my arm, and ruining my dress. But always leaving me happy happy.
I've always thought my little corner of Provence has some of the best stone fruit until I tried a Southern peach here. I can't even compare they are so different. South Carolina peaches are a treat for sure. Think about your favorite peach scented anything and there you have it. It sounds like it has magical powers doesn't it? Well it does. Right now, it makes the perfect dessert. Breakfast. Snack. I am even tempted to call it dinner tonight.
Imagine how giddy I was this week when I found myself the recipient of over 10 pounds of just ripe, just perfect peaches. Yeah. Giddy. It did not take me long to figure out what I wanted to do with them. Instincts kicked in and once back in the kitchen I started the little dance I'd do everytime at the restaurant. I started poaching, roasting, peeling, dicing…Pots and pans filled every corner of the stove and countertops. From savory to sweet, salsa to sorbet. Truly a good day.
The first thing I made though was galettes, free form tarts. I poached four peaches in jasmine tea, let them cool completely, peeled, pitted and sliced them thin. I used half a peach per galette, some I left all peach and some had a small handful of blueberries added to them. All were sprinkled with sugar infused with lemon thyme like I did previously in these Fresh Berries Tartelettes. Simply rub herbs and sugar together, can be citrus zest too, it works wonders!
I love how packed the summer gets. I love the epic heat of a day spent outdoors followed by stormy winds and thunderstorms. Summer. When rules are bent and time extends following the sunset. And mostly, right now, I love summer because of peach galettes….
Peach and Peach Blueberry Galettes With Lemon Thyme Sugar:
Makes 8 individual galettes (we share but you don't have to)
– I use lemon thyme a lot this year because our one little plant is going wild. Our lemon balm and mint have suffered from the heat but you could definitely use those flavor.
Rosemary, oregano, chocolate mint and sweet basil work beautifully too. The sky is the limit!
– we are not fond of the taste of tapioca flour so I use cornstarch instead but feel free to use either or.
– If you are not baking gluten free, replace the rice, millet, sorghum flours and cornstarch with 1.5 cups of all purpose flour and omit the xanthan gum.
– you can make this as one large 9-inch galette if you want to.
For the pastry dough:
5 tablespoons (70gr) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 egg yolks
pinch salt
1/2 cup (80gr) superfine sweet white rice flour
1/2 cup (60gr) millet flour
1/4 cup (30gr) sorghum flour
1/4 cup (40gr) corn starch (or tapioca flour)
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup cold milk
For the fruits:
4 peaches
1 tea bag jasmine tea (or your favorite)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup blueberries
For the lemon thyme sugar:
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon thyme finely chopped
Prepare the crust:
In a mixer, whip the butter on medium speed until light and airy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time and beating well after each addition. Mix until incorporated. Add the salt, and all the different flours, and the xantham gum and mix briefly. Add enough milk to moisten it. Dump the whole mixture onto a lightly floured (use more rice flour) board and gather the dough into a smooth ball. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Prepare the fruits:
While the dough is resting, place the peaches, tea bag, sugar and enough water to cover the fruit in a large saucepan set over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and poach the peach until just fork tender. Remove from the heat and let them cool on a clean kitchen towel. Once cooled, peel and halve them, remove the pits and slice the peaches thin.
Prepare the sugar:
In a small bowl, mix the sugar and lemon thyme together with your fingertips and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F and position a rack in the center.
When the dough is nice and cold, roll it out on a lightly floured board or in between two sheets of plastic. If the dough tears while you roll, just patch it with your fingertips. Cut eight 4-inch rounds, rerolling and using the dough as you go (ig it gets too soft, just refrigerate for a few minutes as you fill the other galettes with fruit).
Arrange the slices of half a peach in the center of each round and gather the edges, pleating as you go with your fingertips (don't worry about being even – these are free form. Imperfections are wonderful anyways…). Add blueberries on top if desired and sprinkle with some lemon thyme sugar.
Place all the galettes on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 30-35 minutes.

Protect the continuity of your business.
Key person life insurance in New Hampshire to protect your assets and your future.
Key person life insurance can keep your business afloat in the event of the death of any employee who is an integral asset to the company's survival. We'll work with you to design coverage that helps assure the continuity of your business for employees, customers, and creditors.
Insurance coverage that businesses should not overlook.
You might describe the skills and knowledge of the senior staff as priceless, but if anything happened to them, the financial losses for your business could be very real. That's why you need to safeguard the future of your business with key person life insurance.
Ensure the continuation of your business.
Where ordinary life insurance compensates a person's financial dependents for loss of income, key person life insurance is all about the costs a business faces when the person dies. It's best suited for staff who are so vital to the company's operations that it could struggle to survive without them.
What does key person life insurance have to offer?
The payout from a key person life insurance policy will ideally help the company stay afloat while the other members of your staff come to grips with running the business, or until your business hires a suitable replacement and brings them up to speed.
Additional payout options for every situation.
In the worst-case scenario, the payout could instead be used to wind down operations in a controlled manner rather than face the chaos and damage of a forced liquidation. In addition to paying out when a key staff member has passed away, some key person policies will also pay out if the person is diagnosed with a terminal illness or suffers a critical illness that means they can no longer work.
Key person life insurance is a great way to protect your business. If you think this might be a good fit for your business, let us know. We can walk you through your options.

One of the Yes Network's most aired shows are their Yankee Classics. Generally, during the regular season on off days and mornings before a game when there was none the day before, you can catch the Yankees Classics. Then they fill up a lot of the schedule with them during the off-season. As a Yankee fan, I think it's a great idea, although the ranking of some games as "Classics" can sometimes be questions.
Well, this is an attempt to log as many of the Yankee Classics that have been shown including some commentary and rankings on whether they really are classics or...not so much.

And now, The Opinion Page. Many reporters and editors turn to the "AP Stylebook" to answer questions on grammar, punctuation and usage, so it's news when words are purged. Last month, The Associated Press announced the elimination of Islamophobia, homophobia and ethnic cleansing from next year's stylebook, a decision Chicago Tribune syndicated columnist Clarence Page calls a linguistic blow for blandness. Now, there are a few words so offensive that they're beyond the pale: the N word, the F word.
But right below those fighting words lies another category of vivid terms that can grab your attention, but it can also derail a dialogue before it even gets started. So tell us: Is there a word from your experience that can stop a conversation in its tracks? Give us a call, 800-989-8255. Email us: firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also join the conversation on our website. That's at npr.org. Click on TALK OF THE NATION. Clarence Page's column "Words with Negative Power" ran last Wednesday. He joins us here in Studio 3A. Good to have you back on TALK OF THE NATION.
CLARENCE PAGE: Thank you. Glad to be back, Neal.
CONAN: And let me offer one possible conversation stopper, the word Nazi.
PAGE: Right. There you go. You know, we've got to watch words that can take us off the air too but...
CONAN: Yeah. Exactly.
PAGE: But even in your previous segment, somebody made the reference to Hitler that democracy brought us Hitler. You know, there's another word, name that gets overused, shall we say, to a point that that it crosses the line of appropriateness in a lot of circumstances.
CONAN: Interesting to see a letter I think in The New York Times today protesting the use of the nuclear option, that phrase to describe the situation in the United States Senate. Hey, we're not that far away from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
PAGE: That's right. That's right. But you know, this is where I'm on defense about a lot of words, but, you know, on the one hand, I know the "AP Stylebook" folks, they — their heart is in the right place, and I certainly understand why in a news story where you're trying to be as objective down the line as possible why you might want to advise people not to use words like Islamophobia or homophobia. But for us opinion writers, we get dispensation here because...
PAGE: ...I'm fighting against blandness in our language as well and we - sometimes, we can overdo politeness to the point where we take away a lot of effective words or language. So even the N word you mentioned earlier, how do you refer to Dick Gregory's autobiography, you know, which used that in its title? Richard Pryor, his first hit album used that as a title. But in 2004, the rapper Nas tried to use that word to title his CD, and Warner Brothers wouldn't let him do it because Wal-Mart wouldn't sell it, right? And so you get censorship in the commercial marketplace as well.
So this says a lot about our society. I think it's sort of a marker each year as to where we stand with our sensibilities.
CONAN: Part of the AP's reasoning was that phobia raises questions about psychiatric - a clinical psychiatric term.
PAGE: Yes.
CONAN: It means fear of, and it's often used, you know, agoraphobia to describe various psychiatric conditions. It's also widely used in the general parlance to describe fears of lots of things.
PAGE: Well, that's exactly right, and I think, you know, the AP editor who was quoted in regard to that himself was trying to dance around the hardcore truth. The fact is homophobia and Islamophobia to me are like the word racist. They're legitimate words that have specific definitions but are oftentimes used as epithets, either directly or to imply if there's something wrong with your character over your criticism. Now, you know, there are people who innocently believe that Islam says certain things in the Quran and blah-blah-blah - we don't really know, but they've heard this, you know, and they believe that that's the truth.
And to me if somebody doesn't mean to offend you, your first reflex should be to educate them. If they're willing to listen, then help them out. You know, let them become more knowledgeable about the world. On the other hand, if they're deliberately trying to provoke and to offend, that's a different matter. But that's why...
CONAN: And you can have any choice of words that can still be offensive. The other point you made in the piece, homophobia. This had a very specific origin and a very specific definition and may be irreplaceable.
PAGE: Yeah. You know, I use the Advocate magazine as my source. The psychologist George Weinberg, who is given credit for coming up with homophobia and has used it, I guess, for 10 or 20 years in arguments for gay rights and all, said that, you know, the effectiveness of the word, whatever it's implications and all, is such that it really generates dialogue and gets people's attention. I think you could say the same for Islamophobia. And certainly, I'm all in favor of opening up dialogue.
I'm concerned about when a word shuts it down though, because you know, if somebody calls you a name, your first reflex, well, I don't want to talk to them anymore or maybe I want to punch them in the nose or something. But, you know, it's not constructive dialogue. So I can see, you know, again, words like this should be used judiciously I feel, but I wouldn't necessarily, you know, strike them altogether from the usage.
CONAN: Right. Interesting. We've asked you to pitch in, of course. From your experience, what's one of those words that sort of stops the conversation in midstream? Bearing in mind the licenses of all of our member radio stations please. And here's Tammy(ph) in Florida, says fascist.
PAGE: Fascist, yeah. That's another one, you know? I think people come up with fascist because they get tired of being called socialist, you know? Because socialist has been used so much, you know? You want to come back with something, like, oh, yeah, well, you're a fascist, you know? And in fact, I think that people on the left feel a little bit shortchanged because they don't have epithets that bite as well as socialist or communist or Marxist, (unintelligible) that clashes. Lot of folks don't know what a fascist is, you know?
CONAN: They're too young, thankfully.
PAGE: Yeah. And in our society, we're not really conditioned, most of us, to grow up to be afraid of fascists. But, you know, being a Cold War baby, we all were raised to be afraid of communists.
CONAN: Well, yeah, but nevertheless, if you've ever met a real socialist, his name is not Barack Obama.
PAGE: Well, this is exactly right. And here's where we do need some dialogue because a lot of folks obviously are using it as an epithet just like, you know, the whole birther thing, the Hawaii birth certificate. People who know better bring it up anyway just out of frustration because it's some way to take a dig at Barack Obama. But it's also a roundabout way of saying, well, he's alien. He's somehow foreign to real Americanness. And, you know, words could have a lot of power that way.
CONAN: Let's see if we get a caller in on the conversation. 800-989-8255. Email us: email@example.com. Tom(ph) is with us from Los Gatos in California.
TOM: Hey, good morning, gentlemen. I'm really enjoying the program. The real word that stops conversation is called - I think in society, whether it's talk radio or newsprint or any other media, is the word - the newly coined word truther, that anyone who questions, you know, the true origins of 9/11, you know, like, Ahmadinejad, you know, gave a speech a few years ago in the United Nations. Everybody walked out because that - when he was - as soon as he started talking about 9/11, that was a complete conversation - I mean, for professional diplomats to walk out shows not only that they were afraid of that word and afraid of any kind of discontent with the official policy or explanation of 9/11 but extreme racism, which brings up another word, apartheid or apartheid. We can't use that word, apartheid - we can't use that word in association with our own social policies, even though we have more apartheid or apartheid than South Africa ever had. Like the city of San Francisco, for example, incarcerates four times the number of African-Americans.
CONAN: There's a difference between a policy that is in law as apartheid was in South Africa and one you calling a de facto apartheid in San Francisco. And I think there's quite a distinction there. And - but it was Jimmy Carter who got into great trouble, Clarence Page, and he applied the word apartheid to Israel and the Palestinians.
PAGE: Right. Which shows you how - in fact, the Hitler issue, the use of certain words in certain situations. Is it appropriate or not? And that can have a politically volatile edge to it. I don't know if my answer would be satisfactory for the caller, but I had experience with people getting offended by truther because I compared truthers and birthers, saying that they are - to me, they're the two sides of the same coin just from different political extremes in regard to either the Obama or the Bush administration because I've checked out both, Neal, as all of us good journalists do, checked out all these theories about 9/11. I checked out the theories about Obama's birth certificate. I find them both to be equally unconvincing, shall we say. So I think it's a very fair comparison to make and sorry if people get offended by that, but let's have dialogue.
CONAN: So you didn't drink the Kool-Aid.
PAGE: Didn't drink the Kool-Aid.
CONAN: Rob in Virginia Beach writes, let's kill drink the Kool-Aid.
PAGE: Don't drink the Kool-Aid. Thank you.
CONAN: Unless referring to a horrific incident in Guyana, of course, the People's Temple.
PAGE: Well, yeah. Well, yeah, absolutely. And I wonder about the folks at Kool-Aid. They're not too happy about that either, you know? It's just been - their brand has been pulled into this awful tragedy. And, well, what more can I say about it?
CONAN: Let's see if we go next to Sally(ph), and Sally is with us from Nampa, Idaho.
SALLY: Hi. I really appreciate this conversation. It's kind of fun.
CONAN: Well, go ahead.
SALLY: Thank you.
CONAN: What's the word in your experience that's a conversation stopper?
SALLY: OK. So the word is housewife.
PAGE: Oh, my wife will appreciate that.
SALLY: What does that (unintelligible) for you? I mean, seriously, in a conversation, housewife is negative nowadays. Society, you know, society tends to think of a housewife as some slob who's sitting at home, doing nothing. There's no production in that life, you know? And so that word...
CONAN: I think bonbons may be involved.
PAGE: Oh, yeah.
SALLY: Yeah. Right. Right. Sitting around bonbons, nothing - no production in that life.
PAGE: I got to hand it to Sarah Palin, for example. You know, she sometimes has been referred to in the past the Alaska housewife who became governor, you know, et cetera. And, you know, that's not an easy job, folks, you know? And women tend to get the sort and I'm willing to admit because my wife is listening, especially. But no question about it, though, that so often, the wife in the family gets both ends, you know, earning money outside and managing the household as well. So let's give them props.
SALLY: All right. So nowadays, you know, it's really - it's more elaborate or acceptable to be a stay-at-home mom if you're still raising children or, you know, domestic engineer, right?
CONAN: Well, the fact is once you hear that word housewife, people stop listening because they think they know everything.
SALLY: That's right.
PAGE: I remember Roseanne Barr saying - domestic goddess was her title, I remember.
CONAN: Sally, thanks very much for the phone call. Appreciate it.
SALLY: You're very welcome. Thank you.
CONAN: We're talking with Clarence Page on the Opinion Page this week. You can find a link to his column at npr.org. And this is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News.
This tweet from Suzie(ph): Redneck.
PAGE: Yeah. You know, that's - what, you might just be a redneck. Look at Jeff Foxworthy. Yes, he's made a career out of that, you know? But it's one thing if Jeff Foxworthy tells that joke, but it would be another thing if I got up and get a whole monologue about it.
CONAN: It might be just...
PAGE: Which on the flipside, by the way, reminds me of Chris Rock and his N-word versus black monologue, which is a classic. But on "The Office," the - and I'm blanking on his name now. The star of "The Office."
CONAN: Steve Carell.
PAGE: Thank you. Steve Carell, it was this brilliant episode they had where he tells that joke in "The Office" and is greeted with silence by everybody for obvious reasons. And it says a lot about, you know, it's not what you say, it says who says it.
CONAN: Here's an email from Jennifer(ph) in Charlotte: What a coincidence. I'm grading my AP language in composition class definition papers, in which they are defining labels such as racist, nerd, gay, jock, atheist and the like. Several students have recognized that labels can be used negatively and are harmful to civil society. I'm going to have them follow up on this conversation. Thanks. It does matter what words we use. And that was one of the great points in your piece that words matter.
PAGE: Words matter. Words matter. And I'm a word man, you know? Right? You know, you're a word man, too, of course, you know, and talking every day on live radio.
CONAN: I'm more of a yoga(ph) man, but that's...
PAGE: There you go. Right.
PAGE: But words do matter. And that's why I feel - and a lot of my readers do too. I just got an email from someone who questioned my use of the word further. He said he heard that time - farther was distance and further was time. Well, I was taught that further is further than farther. Simple as that.
CONAN: Simple as that. Well, boy, you can get into a long conversation about that.
PAGE: Absolutely.
CONAN: Interesting. There was another term the AP decided to no longer use you didn't mention in your column, and that is ethnic cleansing.
PAGE: Right. Right. And this is something, too, that has been misused, you know, here I think it's more in the euphemism category, as you could say. Ethnic cleansing is too mild. It doesn't evoke enough of a powerful response. I think that was the AP's objection that it's used so often as a euphemism for what is essentially a very, very brutal practice outlawed by the U.N. for a very good reason. And we tend to make it sound so benign to say, you know, ethnic cleansing, as if they're just peacefully but forcefully moved, whereas Islamophobia and homophobia...
CONAN: Oh, I think it's a pretty ominous sounding term that aptly describes what's going on which is a form of genocide.
PAGE: Yeah, exactly. There you go. Now, genocide, now, that's a powerful word. That's what we're talking about with ethnic cleansing.
CONAN: We should note Congress recently voted to rid the federal code of the word lunatic.
PAGE: Right. Right. That, you know, lunatic goes in the category with retarded, you know, that these are words. I think we're talking - especially we've seen a lot of controversy around that.
CONAN: And we had the young man who wrote that letter in response on the air a couple of weeks ago as he explained his objections to the use of that term to refer to him and others with his condition.
PAGE: That's right.
CONAN: And what an insult it is.
PAGE: That's right, you know? And that's the kind of word that kids use and we need to tell our kids, no, don't use it. That is not a nice word, not a proper word to use. And it's like when my son was about 7, he and his buddies were talking about, well, that's so gay, you know?
CONAN: Yeah.
PAGE: It's the same kind of thing here once again that the - I certainly grew up with don we now our gay apparel this time of year, you know, but it has a whole different meaning now.
CONAN: Bridgette(ph) from Johnson City, Tennessee, writes in with the word feminazi, which I think is a Rush Limbaugh-ism.
PAGE: It is a Rush Limbaugh-ism. He has to take credit and blame for that.
CONAN: And this from Roxie(ph) in San Antonio: Schizophrenia, schizophrenic and any overt reference to medical or psychiatric diagnosis. As the child of a schizophrenic mother, I find it particularly divisive and supports the stigmatization of mental illness. And that, I guess, goes along with what the AP was talking about.
PAGE: It goes right back to the same thing with phobias, you know, that - and, you know, I've been nailed for the use of schizophrenia by readers. I don't do it anymore. The other problem with schizophrenia is a lot of people don't even use it right, don't really understand what it means. They use it to mean split personality, for example, as we used to call it. And it's something much more complicated.
CONAN: And this email from Sega(ph) from Durham, North Carolina: A word that stops the conversation is anti-Semitic.
PAGE: Oh, yes. Like racist, you know, same kind of thing there.
CONAN: And this from Claire(ph) in San Francisco: Hipster. They hate this because, by definition, hipsters don't allow themselves to be categorized.
PAGE: Hipster is today's hippie, you know? Like the '60s hippie could be either a compliment or an epithet, and hipster's the same thing now.
CONAN: And, Clarence, I have to say you look great with those flowers in your hair.
PAGE: (Unintelligible). You got my generation.
CONAN: Clarence Page joining us here in Studio 3A. He's a syndicated columnist with The Chicago Tribune. His piece, "Words with Negative Power," ran last week. And again, if you'd like to read it, there's a link to it at our website, npr.org, and may not see you again before the holidays, so Merry Christmas.
PAGE: Thank you. Same to you, Neal.
CONAN: This is TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. I'm Neal Conan in Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
