Perhaps amateur hour in DC is drawing to a close. The Mid-term Election of 2014 is over except for the final tallies and run-off elections in several races. Still, the net result has been determined: the Republican Party gained control of the Senate and strengthened its grip on the House of Representatives. Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is expected to become Senate Majority Leader while Ohio Congressman John Boehner is expected to remain Speaker of the House.
Also as expected, politicians and pundits alike were quick to declare what the American people were telling DC through the ballot box. Since only one-third of registered voters appear to have bothered to vote, it's not clear how you can say with any confidence that the election represented the will of the American people.
Another expectation that has been fulfilled are the questions and comments about the perceived need for the Republicans to compromise with the Democrats and President Obama. While it is true that the president holds the veto pen, it is also true that many Democrats may side with Republicans and pass legislation with a veto-proof majority.
Furthermore, while compromising on relatively unimportant matters is laudable, compromising on matters of principle is not. Besides, there is no such thing as a co-senator or co-congressman. The winning candidates and collectively the party or movement that won the majority are the winners. Unless I misread the Constitution, they are not obligated to share their victory with the losing cause. To act like there are co-victors in an election would be an affront to the American electorate.
As for the meaning of this election, I believe the American voters peacefully revolted against a number of things they see wrong with our federal government. The following is a partial list:
- A president who mislead the American people time and time again and was unwilling to admit his mistakes and promptly remedy them
- Obamacare as a real life Frankenstein
- The much ballyhooed stimulus money and programs that produced only marginal improvements in the economy and unemployment
- A seemingly endless stream of scandals involving the Administration
- The unchecked power of the IRS, EPA, and other agencies
- A tax system which is so 20th century
- Constant attacks on our rights protected by the 1st and 2nd Amendments
- Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's false claims that the Republican Party was the reason for gridlock when he holds the power to authorize up or down votes on the hundreds of bills passed by the House
- False claims by many Democrats that the Republicans were waging a war on women
- The U.S. no longer seen around the world as the super power it once was
Sadly, President Obama and Senator McConnell, both career politicians and neither a strict constitutionalist, are unlikely to change their approach to governance in light of the election. However, it was refreshing to listen to the Senator's direct responses to the questions posed by reporters. A solemn looking man, he was able to dead-pan a couple of remarks during his press conference which, if he's not a one-trick pony, should add some much-needed levity into Senate press conferences.
For his part, the President tried to be his usual cool, calm, and collected self, but at the close of his post-election press conference was only able to serve as the chief cheerleader for the USA after passing up many opportunities to demonstrate humility and graciousness. He simply was unwilling or unable to see the election results and his low job approval ratings as an expression of dissatisfaction with his policies by the people he helps govern. He remains as obstinate as ever that his ideas for transforming America are the right things to do. It was clear through their questioning and in reports and commentary that even the media, most of whom are registered Democrats, knew the real score.
"The one thing that I want the American people to be confident about is that every day I'm going to be filling up my time trying to figure out how I can make their lives better," said the lame duck president. Earlier in the session, he even went so far as to say, "I have a unique responsibility to try to make this town [ DC ] work." Really? All by your lonesome?
Unlike a chastened President Bill Clinton after the Democratic Party he led was subject to a similar lopsided defeat during the Mid-term Election of 1994, and despite numerous opportunities during the press conference, President Obama simply refused to accept responsibility for his party's loss. He also made the preposterous claim that it is his responsibility to ensure such things like making sure every American has a job, is college educated, and can afford the mortgage. The Harvard educated constitutional lawyer fails to see that in a free market society, not every outcome is pleasant because life is messy not only in DC as he pointed out, but everywhere this side of heaven. Still, our free market society has proven over nearly 300 years that the system of governance created by our Founders ensures that there is a greater likelihood of a positive outcome for the masses than in any other nation in human history. But it is certainly not the president's responsibility to create a government that guarantees one. To do so robs the individual of personal responsibility and self-reliance along with the satisfaction and security that comes from exercising them.
Happily, despite his tendency to favor big government solutions, Senator McConnell has demonstrated great respect for the Senate as a deliberative body and hopefully he will lead its restoration. Senators are supposed to be the legislators who take a less populist approach to governance than their counterparts in the House who have much shorter terms in office. The longer terms for senators are intended to make them less concerned about their re-election and partisan politics and more concerned about the common good. Of course all elected officials and civil servants should do their jobs heedless of public opinion which has proven to be transient. Besides, public opinion perennially underrates our top priority: national defense, and it is easily manipulated by the media and sophists. Godspeed to all elected officials who have their priorities in sync with our national top priorities and are not out to win a popularity contest.
Speaking of our top national priorities, this election does not change them. In summary and in short, according to the Constitution they remain (1) national defense, (2) interstate commerce and transportation, (3) the administration of the federal government, and (4) other responsibilities specified in the Constitution of the United States. These can be considered our ordinary national top priorities.
However, these are extraordinary times, so extraordinary measures should be taken as soon as possible. Over the last 100 years or so populist presidents, socialist-leaning Congresses, and activist Supreme Court justices exploited the assumptions made by the Founders when they wrote the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Constitution needs to be amended to protect liberties taken for granted by the Founders. Doing so will also help ensure that we reverse course away from becoming a socialist state. Toward that end, business and organizational leaders along with all citizens of good will should consider supporting a renewal of Constitutional Stewardship which calls for strict interpretation of the Constitution as amended and a Constitutional Convention.
The purpose of a Constitutional Convention as authorized by the Constitution is to consider and propose which amendments, if any, should be considered by Congress. It is not a law-making body. When considering various reform measures, and as I wrote previously, the Liberty Amendments would be a good place for the convention to start.
Lastly, as I also wrote recently, an amendment to define marriage and one to define the term human being are also necessary since the relativist society in which we now find ourselves was not something the Founders envisioned. While you and I may not agree on the definitions, I hope you have the courage of your convictions and support the definitions of your choice. Passing these amendments will surely eliminate a lot of wasted time and money spent debating the issues and fighting each other in court.
President Clinton tried to transform the U.S. into something that American voters rejected handily. He was savvy enough to change his preferred political agenda. President Obama would be wise to do likewise. Nevertheless, well-written amendments can help ensure that even though we may elect leaders in the future who let themselves get carried away with misguided ideology, we can make sure that the damage is minimal and that the U.S. can remain a stronghold of personal liberty.

April 14, 2016, Las Vegas, Nevada – Sister Victoria Dalesandro, OP, who has served since 2011 as the director of caring and healing at San Martin Campus of St. Rose Dominican Hospitals, was profiled in the Spring 2016 issue of Reach, a publication of the hospital.
In the article, Sister Vicki speaks of some of the highlights of her 60 years as an Adrian Dominican Sister. A native of Los Angeles, she returned there to teach in South Central Los Angeles in the 1960s, during the riots, and later opened a social service center for people who lived near the city's Skid Row.
Sister Vicki first came to St. Rose Dominican in the 1990s, working on a variety of projects – such as classroom on wheels – and beginning her studies for a master's degree in pastoral studies to allow her to minister as a counselor. She worked with pregnant women in Apple Valley, California and became certified as a chaplain. Back at St. Rose Dominican since 2011, Sister Vicki told Reach that she "love[s] visiting patients and working with the nurses."
Sister Vicki is now working on the hospital's new No One Dies Alone pilot program, "training volunteers who are interested in sitting with dying patients who would otherwise be alone."
August 7, 2015, Henderson, Nevada – The Siena Campus of Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican Hospitals expanded its ability to serve the community of Henderson, Nevada, with a special July 30 dedication of its new St. Dominic Tower. The five-story, 220,000-square foot facility includes a cardiology center; six operating rooms; an additional 96 private rooms; an oncology unit; 56 treatment bays for the emergency room; and more space for such services as admitting, pharmacy, lab, and radiology.
"This expansion project is so important for the community the Siena Campus serves," said Brian Brannman, senior vice president of operations for Dignity Health Nevada and president of the Siena Campus. "With this new tower, St. Rose will have the ability to care for more individuals who need it most, using the latest equipment and with a focus on delivering an outstanding patient experience."
Sister Corinne Sanders, OP, of the Adrian Dominican Sisters General Council, addresses the gathering. Photo by Edyta Sokolowska.
"As I look to you, our St. Rose Dominican community, and look at this magnificent building, I can only imagine the smiles upon the faces of our seven Dominican Sisters who founded St. Rose in 1947," said Sister Corinne Sanders, OP, during the dedication ceremony. "Since that humble beginning, St. Rose Dominican has continued to respond to the needs of the people and to grow accordingly."
Sister Corinne noted St. Dominic's work: reminding the people of his day of "God's magnificent love and passion for wholeness" and following in Jesus' mission of healing, liberation, and love. "Embracing this same mission, we are called to be a healing touch and loving presence in the lives of many who come to St. Rose Dominican. …The Adrian Dominican Sisters, those gathered here and those throughout the world, are grateful and honored to walk in mission with you as co-creators of God's love, healing, and peace," she concluded.
Sister Corinne is a member of the General Council of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, sponsors of St. Rose Dominican Hospitals.
Most Reverend Joseph A. Pepe, Bishop of Las Vegas, led the blessing ceremony. Other events celebrating the new tower included a public preview on Saturday, August 1. A special, more exclusive tour of the building will be held for specially invited guests on Friday, August 14.
Ground was broken for the tower on February 28, 2014, and funds were raised through the efforts of Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican and the Partnership for Compassionate Care Campaign. The St. Dominic Tower will enhance the hospital's ability to care for the health needs of the public. Watch an interview with Dr. Robert Pretzlaff, Chief Medical Officer, and Mike Walsh, Project Director about the project and its impact.
The four-year expansion and renovation project also included a new parking garage and an expanded neonatal intensive care unit. The projects were overseen by the design and building team of Orcutt ӏ Winslow Partnership and Kitchell.
The second of three St. Rose Dominican campuses, the Siena campus was opened in 2000. The other campuses are Rose de Lima, the original, built in Henderson in 1947, and San Martín, opened in Las Vegas in 2006. St. Rose Dominican Hospitals is part of the Dignity Health, a health care system of 9,000 physicians and 380 care centers in 20 states.

The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is immensely popular, as it was the first permanent stone-bridge connecting Pest and Buda. Also, it was the second permanent crossing on the river Danube. It is one of the historic and symbolic buildings of Budapest. It is the most famous bridge as well of the Hungarian capital. Its construction was conceptualized by István Széchenyi. He was one of the leading figures in 18th century of Hungary.
The stone lions are situated at both the sides of the bridge, they also becomes the part in beautifulness of Budapest. They have been carved by sculptor János Marschalkó. By the end of the century, the traffic on the bridge increased swiftly. The ironwork completely was replaced after making the decision. It is absolutely a spectacular view of the panorama of Budapest with the Széchenyi Chain Bridge. Mainly, this is the cherry on top which makes this bridge a popular tourist attraction and historical symbol. Beautifulness of Budapest is depicted from the lighting which highlights its elaborative details. And especially at night it is a sight to behold.
With the Buda Castle in the background, the Hungarian capital's first bridge, now a monument, is a fascinating spectacle that has attracted many tourists to Budapest. The bridge was built upon the request of Count István Széchenyi by designer William Tier
Thank you

More than 4 million barrels of Venezuelan crude and fuels are sitting in tankers anchored in the Caribbean sea, unable to reach their final destination because state-run PDVSA cannot pay for hull cleaning, inspections, and other port services, according to internal documents and Reuters data.
About a dozen tankers are being held back because the hulls have been soiled by crude, stemming from several oil leaks in the last year at key ports of Bajo Grande and Jose, which has resulted in delayed operations for loading and discharging.
Since debt-laden PDVSA cannot afford to have the ships cleaned, they have to wait for weeks to navigate international waters, delaying shipments.
Dirty tankers are the latest of a litany of problems weighing on PDVSA, the source of most of Venezuela's export revenue and critical to the government's budget.
Oil production and exports are currently at lows not seen in more than two decades. PDVSA's difficulty with paying creditors and service providers makes pulling itself out of that hole more onerous. That has contributed to a deep, years-long recession in the OPEC country.
As of Jan. 25, vessels carrying some 1.4 million barrels of crude, diesel, gasoline, fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas were anchored in Venezuelan and Caribbean waters waiting for cleaning, according to PDVSA's trade documents, verified by Reuters shipping data. The company did not respond to a request for comment.
"PDVSA almost solved this situation in Bajo Grande in early December because it needed to drain inventories, but it is now taking at least three weeks to complete the cleaning," said an inspector at Lake Maracaibo, who was not authorized to speak to the press.
The dozen or so tankers that have not been cleaned are mostly from PDVSA's fleet of owned and leased vessels, according to a series of PDVSA's internal operational reports confirmed by Reuters vessel tracking data.
In addition, another 11 tankers in early January are being held up for "financial retention," a classification used by PDVSA in its internal reports to identify loaded vessels that have been embargoed or temporarily retained by port authorities, inspection firms or maritime agencies due to unpaid bills.
Those tankers, along with several smaller ones retained for other operational delays, are holding a combined 2.9 million barrels, according to the data.
The list includes the Aframax Hero, loaded in September with 520,000 barrels of fuel oil bound for China. The cargo is moored in Curacao, delayed by more than 100 days, until a payment to inspection firm Saybolt (CLB.N) is made.
PDVSA's crude exports fell to 1.59 million barrels per day (bpd) in the last quarter of 2016 from 1.82 million bpd in the first quarter, a 13 percent decline, according to Thomson Reuters trade flows data.

Get on your bikes Newy and get sharing
Newcastle will be home to a permanent electric-bike sharing scheme as docking stations pop up around the city.
Topics has heard that Transport for NSW will launch the scheme next week, offering 19 charging stations and a fleet of e-bikes as a new option for tourists, commuters and anyone else who wants to cruise around the city with the least possible effort.
Hunter firm BYKKO trialled the scheme, billed as an Australian first, for three months in Newcastle two years ago with three bikes and one docking hub, but the new system looks to be on a far grander scale.
The trial offered bikes at just $2 an hour and the first 90 minutes for free.
The Mobility Parc docking stations, made by Swiss e-bike firm WattWorld, look like track-and-field hurdles with a row of red lights above a corresponding row of power sockets and charge indicators.
The Mobility Parc Facebook page recently posted this enthusiastic missive (translated from the French): "The Mobility Park of wattworld in the land of kangaroos!
"The City of Newcastle in Australia has chosen a Swiss-shared electric bicycle system, 160 stations produced in Geneva and electric bikes are now sailing to the southern hemisphere."

The readers of motoring magazine auto motor und sport have voted the Golf, the new Polo and the up! the "Best Cars 2018" in their respective categories. No less than three Volkswagen models thus secured one of the year's most important awards. They were presented this morning in Stuttgart to Dr Herbert Diess (Chairman of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management), Dr Frank Welsch (Member of the Board of Management responsible for Development) and Jürgen Stackmann (Member of the Board of Management responsible for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales).
"The Golf is the heart of our brand – and therefore we're especially delighted to win this award", said Dr Diess at the presentation event.
This is reflected too in the car's record of success in the "Best Cars" poll, as this is the sixth time in succession that the Golf has won in the "Compact Class" category and also the popular model's 32nd award in total in the 42-year history of the poll (formerly "The Best Cars").
The Golf thus continues to be a major player in the motoring world. Its story of success too is an exemplary one, beginning all of 44 years ago. With over 34 million units built across seven generations, the Golf has been setting standards in the compact class for decades and continues to this day to take on a pioneering role in the introduction of leading edge vehicle technologies.
The Polo was voted top in the "Sub-Compact Cars" category with 33 per cent of the readers' votes. It's 43-year history of success shows that the Polo too is one of the key pillars of the Volkswagen brand. With around 17 million units sold to date, the Polo is one of the world's most successful compact cars. The recently launched sixth generation has a fully new exterior design, which makes the car – now as a rule with four doors – appear sportier and more grown up. At the same time, the new Polo is now bigger than its predecessor in every dimension.
In the "Mini Cars" category the readers crowned the up! the winner. While the up! is admittedly the smallest and newest Volkswagen of this trio, with more than 1 million vehicles sold (since 2011), it too can show a formidable record of success.
The small car has a very clear design, a comprehensive set of standard features and a multitude of options for personalization. Highlights of the range include the new 85 kW / 115 PS up! GTI and the special edition up! beats with a 300-watt sound system.
Two Volkswagen SUVs also did well in the poll: in the "Compact SUV / Offroad Vehicles" category the company's top SUV, the Tiguan, took second place and the T-Roc, only launched last autumn, celebrated a surprise success in third.
The auto motor und sport international readers' poll is celebrating its 42nd anniversary this year. In addition to the German edition, 15 other European and three non-European magazines from the "auto motor und sport" group took part in the poll. In total, 378 models in eleven categories were on the nominations list to be voted the best cars of 2018.

A skateboard is typically a specially designed plywood board combined with a polyurethane coating used for making smoother slides and stronger durability, used primarily for the activity of skateboarding. The first skateboards to reach public notice came out of the surfing craze of the early 1960s, developed to help surfers practice when waves were unfavorable. The first prototypes were simple wooden boards with roller-skate wheels attached, and the practice was sometimes referred to as "sidewalk surfing." The surfing group Jan and Dean even had a minor hit called "Sidewalk Surfing" in 1964. By the mid-1980s skateboards were mass produced and sold throughout the United States.
A skateboard is propelled by pushing with one foot while the other remains on the board, or by pumping one's legs in structures such as a pool or half pipe. A skateboard can also be used by simply standing on the deck while on a downward slope and allowing gravity to propel the board and rider. If the rider positions their right foot forward, he/she is said to ride "goofy"; if the rider positions their left foot forward, he/she is said to ride "regular." If the rider is normally regular but chooses to ride goofy, he/she is said to be riding "switch," and vice versa. A skater is typically more comfortable pedaling with their back foot; choosing to pedal with the front foot is commonly referred to as riding "mongo."

I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
Mathew 19:9 NIV
1. This passage does not forbid polygamy
A man who marries another woman is NOT said to commit adultery. But a man who divorces his wife AND marries another woman is said to commit adultery.
2. If a man divorces his wife and marries another woman he has committed adultery
A man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is said to commit adultery (with the exception of marital unfaithfulness.) But he is allowed to marry more than one woman, so why is it adultery to marry an extra woman in the case of divorce?
3. It is not directly stated here to be considered adultery if he divorces his wife and does not marry another woman?
If divorce is the same as adultery than why is it not directly stated to be adultery unless the man both divorces his wife and marries another woman?

text: An Abomination is a type of Undead monster found in the World Of Warcraft universe as well as the original Warcraft series prior to the creation of the MMORPG. They are large and grotesque Frankenstein-like monsters created via sewing together the dead bodies of varied creatures and can be allied both with the Scourge and the Forsaken. Abominations are not very bright and, although capable of human speech, tend to be lumbering monstrosities with a tendency to overwhelm opponents with clumsy attacks as well as plague clouds or (in some cases) more exotic methods of attack such as flatulance or explosion.

Ever since I had my stroke, I have been offering myself as a guinea pig for scientific research. From day 1 I have given blood to analyze and been a test patient for students. In the rehab center I also participated in several research studies. This was quite satisfying as I felt at least someone was gaining some benefits from my disease and situation. It was something I could do, and only stroke patients could do. It made me feel useful. All this research had one theme in common: the effort for the patient was way too much. It took too long, and the researchers somehow hadn't taken that into account,. Everything longer than 30-60 minutes (depending on the phase of the rehab a patient is in) is too much. Even from 30-60 minutes research time, a patient needs at least a day to recover. Last week I participated in the NEURAS research in the LUMC. I was invited at 9:30. a good time to start. First I had to go through the standard tests, used in rehab, to evaluate the level of the patient. This consisted of a questionnaire and several excercises, where little cubes had to be lifted and glasses of water had to be poored with my bad hand. This took about 30 minutes. Then I was offered a cup of coffee (very important to keep your patients watered and fed), before I had to be strapped into the next research setting. I was connected to a robot and a computer. I had to "drive" a virtual car while the robot did several things to my arm, in order to detect spasms and reactions of my muscles. I had to drive the car over different roads, and I could feel in the robot the effect of the structure of the road. While driving, I had to collect coins that were scattered over the road. It was a fun game. After that, tasks were added. I had to listen to a voice saying "high" and "low" at both a high and low tone. Sometimes the height of the tone did not correspond with the meaning. It was extremely difficult for me to focus on the auditory task while driving the car and trying to collect coins. In fact, I was not very good at it. Then an added difficulty was introduced. Some of the coins suddenly changed into different symbols, and those had to be avoided. It was at this task that my brain started to melt. I couldn't do it, so my body decided to skip the "high-low" task altogether, in order to leave some brainpower for the other tasks. After an hour in total I announced I was getting tired. This was something I learned from my ergotherapist: at the first sign of tiredness, say something and prepare yourself to stop. People listened to what I was saying but wanted to finish this part of the research. I could relate to that, so I pushed myself to continue, in order to finish most of the research that was planned. After 1,5 hour I was getting exhausted. I announced that I needed to stop very soon, as I was almost collapsing on the spot. The researchers tried to motivate me to continue. What if I took a lunchbreak and continued afterwards? I told them I would be happy to return another day, but I could not continue that day. This caused some commotion on the researchers side, but we agreed to continue two weeks later. When I came home, I went straight to bed, slept for 3 hours, and had dinner. After dinner I fell asleep and slept until the next morning. The second day I stayed in bed while sleeping on and off. I just didn't have the energy to walk. Today is the third day. I am out of bed, and will go to fitness in the afternoon. My husband stressed that I should make this known to anybody in research working with CVA patients (and maybe this applies to other neurological diseases as well). Everything that takes more than 1 hour is too long for a CVA patient. And even an hour may be too long, depending on the task ahead and the phase of recovery a patient is in. Researchers and professors, please take this into account when designing research. Go and visit a rehab center. Interview patients, nurses and therapists. They can enlighten you about the timespan you can use to conduct research.

The transfer and the salsa
Since it was Queen's Day, followed immediately by the weekend, my first four days were holidays. I had to rely mainly on nurses during this time to train and guide me. Afterwards, the nurses and therapists told me on numerous occasions, "Everything is therapy."One of the first parts of this therapy I had to learn was "The Transfer." When I thought of the word "transfer," images of Schiphol airport, planes, hotels and holidays came to mind. Here it had a different meaning. The word "transfer" now meant between my wheelchair and something else. It seemed easy, and it was, for normal people. For people like me, though, it was a complicated operation. To start, I had to plan in my head what I had to do. Then I'd take the first and most simple step of calling the nurse to let down my bedrail. Someone that I didn't know had already placed the wheelchair parallel to my bed with the brakes on and the chair facing me. I lowered the bed to the chair's height, then turned my legs over the bed's edge and sat up straight. This meant I had to drag my limp leg over the edge with my working arm. One doesn't realize how heavy a limp leg is in reality. If it wasn't for the nurse cheering me on and other natural powers forcing me to leave the bed, I would have fallen back in the pillows to sleep a bit more. As it was, I had to pause for a minute to rest and regain some strength. The nurse gave me a lot of instructions that went in one ear and out the other. First, I had to raise the wheelchair's armrest. Next, I had to put my feet sideways of the floor. Then, my right hand was placed on the wheelchair's armrest, while my left hand stayed on the bed for support. When my left hand bunched up into a fist, I was instructed to stretch it out flat. "Then wiggle your ass to the wheelchair," the nurse said. "It's just like the salsa." My youngest daughter though this was hilarious. She imitated the nurse and got a lot of praise. It may have been the salsa to her or other people, but to me it was a chance to forget something: brakes on the chair, raise the armrest, feet in the right direction — very frustrating. The nurse would stand back and watch my attempts. She did this on purpose so I better learned what I had to do. As an educational psychologist, I recommend this approach in training. As a patient, however, I wanted to smack someone every time I forgot something. Especially when my youngest daughter added to the humiliation: "Look mom, it's really easy! Just like the salsa!" The nurse helped me to educate my daughter. She was a cozy grandma, and my daughter really liked her. "Do you know how hard it is for your mom to go and sit down?" the nurse asked my daughter. "No," she responded. "Go sit on the bed with your feet on the ground," the nurse instructed. After my daughter complied, the nurse continued, "now lay down flat on your back on the bed." The nurse stood with her legs against my daughter's, then said, "try to sit up straight without the use of your hands." That was a challenge for my daughter's muscles. She managed to sit up, but her face was red and she moaned a lot. "Hard, wasn't it?" the nurse asked. "For your mom it's much harder." My daughter looked at me with admiration. "When you wake up tomorrow," the nurse continued, "try to realize how many muscles you use when you are getting up and out of your bed." My daughter promised she would, then had to go home.

Equality and Human Rights Framework
European Parliament adopts Resolution during plenary on undocumented women migrants in the EU
On 4 February 2014 the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the position of undocumented women migrants in the European Union. According to Catherine Briddick (Rights of Women), the resolution makes for interesting reading, considering as it does the particular vulnerabilities that undocumented women migrants face in the EU.
For example, it states:
"whereas on account of their legal status, undocumented migrants are frequently denied access to decent housing, basic and emergency healthcare services, and schooling; whereas their undocumented legal status prevents them from being protected against labour exploitation in the workplace or from physical and mental abuse; whereas that legal status does not allow them to seek access to justice;...
whereas undocumented women migrants are more likely to suffer violence and abuse, including sexual abuse, and are liable to fall prey to sexual exploitation and to trafficking in human beings in general; whereas access to state-run women's shelters is subject to the requirement for a legal form of ID or a residence permit and whereas victims consequently have no choice but to remain in an abusive situation or flee to the streets; whereas they risk deportation if they contact the police;"
Recommendations include:
- to Member States "to ensure that all migrant women, including undocumented migrant women, who have been victims of abuse or gender-based violence, including migrant women exploited in the prostitution industry, are provided with protection and support and considered to have particular reasons to be granted asylum or residence permits on humanitarian grounds;"
- to Member states to sign and ratify relevant Conventions, including the Istanbul Convention in relation to violence against women
- to Member states in relation to the Victims Directive the rights in which are available to all regardless of immigration status (Recital 10 of Directive 2012/29/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime.)

Brie & Cranberry Hand Cooked Potato Crisps
Thanksgiving you say?
Well, then I say... Cranberries!
No thanksgiving dinner is complete without cranberries.
I do not really know the importance of brie.
Maybe they go hand in hand together?
I should try it for real.
I do not know what they smell like, regular potato crisps?
There is nothing distinct about the smell.
But the taste. They are very sweet.
Cranberries are sweet, but they are also sour.
Maybe it is the combination with the brie cheese that makes them so sweet.
Maybe it is just the food additives.

Review of The Neuroethics of Biomarkers: by Matthew L. Baum (Student Fellow Alumnus)
Matthew L. Baum. The Neuroethics of Biomarkers: What the Development of Bioprediction Means for Moral Responsibility, Justice, and the Nature of Mental Disorder. Oxford University Press, 2016.
From the review:
The Neuroethics of Biomarkers makes a valuable contribution to the literature by providing a forward-looking theory of disorder and an accessible but nuanced philosophical investigation of bioprediction. While Baum's views will benefit from further development, the work as it stands will be of interest to scientists, clinicians, and those working in bioethics and the philosophy of medicine.

text: !! AVAILABLE PUPPIES !! Meet Our Poodles... Our References... Web Page Links Questions Answered... Whats New at Bijou...Bijou Difference Contact us: email@example.com NOOOOOO !!!! It is PARAMOUNT that people view Veterinarians not as "Doctors" but as Sales people in a white lab coat with a products and services to sell you. Gone are the days of Veterinarians graduating from College and apprenticing at a busy private clinic and learning hands on practical skills, and exploring other methodology to best help their clients in the clinic, affording owners to properly and appropriately get needed medical care for their pets, and then opening their own private practice and becoming a trusted family friend, that only has your pet's best interest at heart. If you are too young to remember, the old school Veterinarians and or Large Animal Veterinarians and how skilled they, were at hands on diagnosis, treatments and surgery abilities, then just watch an episode of National Geographic's The Incredible Dr. Pol featuring Dr Jan Pol As that is what we should all look for and hope for in our Veterinarians. A knowledgable Veterinarian, diverse in their skill set, able to problem solve and diagnose using their experience and 5 senses (instead of the diagnostic tools, they have to still pay off) and resolve any issues surgically if needed, right in their office and not refer out to specialists and who were willing to educate animal owners, and put animal welfare above all else. IF YOU HAVE A CONCERN OR ISSUE EMAIL ME !!! before you spend exorbitant amounts at a Vet office I'm sure most Vet's do get into practice because they initially really wanted to help animals. But with school bills living expenses and all their bills adding up for new graduates especially, it is easier and certainly more profitable to start charging people for extensive services and treatments that animals really do not need, but are not outside of the Veterinary College's guidelines often pressuring owners with guilt inducing statements or by ONLY offering the most expensive and extensive treatment options instead of less expensive options, knowing that the general public, will trust a health care professional. Small practices, are also being sold and swallowed up by larger Chains. Which means there is an increased emphasis on profitability, and so costs have sky-rocketed and Vets are pushing unnecessary procedures and testing, to meet their quotas for the company. Especially with the Pet Insurance Companies now footing the bill, it is viewed like a blank check for some Vets. Veterinary Chain stores in Canada are: VCA, Inc. (Veterinary Centers of America) (bought out by MARS) *Click to read a Vet's Shocking expose Veterinarians learn nutrition at school from Pet Food Sales Representatives such as Science Diet for many decades and also get kick backs for selling this food to their clients. Mars - the privately owned largest manufacturer of pet food in the world just purchased a second chain of veterinary hospitals staging them as the largest owner of veterinary hospitals in North America. MARS manufactures: Cesar, Eukanuba, Iams, Natura brands (California Natural and Evo), Pedigree Royal Canin, Sheba, Temptations Whiskas as of 2015. Now you wonder why Veterinarian industry cringes when people say they are feeding professionally prepared "RAW" because their Clinic Chain will not be making profit on food sales (or meeting their Quota of sales) and pets will be healthier, requiring less Vet visits $$$$ Veterinarians learn about immunology from Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives which is why Veterinarians believe "more is better" when it comes to vaccines/heart worm/flea/tick pesticides. Puppies do need initial series of vaccines, this is well documented and uncontested. However when and how much to Vaccinate is the big debate and Dr. Schultz and Dr. Dodds have strong opinions, the world is starting to listen to in order to keep our Pets healthy. What is also known 100% as of 2019, is that no dog needs yearly vaccines !! Thankfully today because of the public outcry and education surrounding limited vaccinations, and Titres, because of Dr. Jean Dodds, Dr. Schultz as well as Dr John Robb's "save the pets" campaign owners are not jeopardizing their pets health, by learning to question what is put into their pets, and only accept what they believe and their breeders say is healthy. This means that Pet Owners need to be very educated on what procedures or treatments they want their animals to have. Pet Owners buying from an educated proactive responsible Breeder are going to be way a head of the game, and well armed. Vet's unlike human Doctors in Canada, only make a living and pay their bills, by dispensing products and offering services or by encouraging many unnecessary health investigations on your animal. Common rip offs that risk your pet's LONG TERM health are : * Yearly vaccines (aka OVER vaccinating) * Heart Worm yearly tests if your animal is on medication * Heart Worm Medication if you are in a low risk area * Lepto and Corona Vaccinations * Yearly "wellness" exams * Cancer treatments, giving unrealistic expectations to owners, when all Vets know the minimal time that buys an owner, is really not a lot, considering the pain and trauma it will give their dog We all know Vaccines are essential to establish your Pup's immune system, after maternal antibodies wear off. NO one in the entire world disputes that fact. However, after the initial series and follow up a year later (for routine shots and Rabies) It is hazardous to your pup's long term health and unnecessary, to continually bombard the pup's system with toxins. Ourselves after the initial set of vaccines, only vaccinate every 4 years, we do not use flea, tick or heart worm medication and we do not use any pesticides in our yard, or frequent locations that do. We do not live near hydro wires, or any other environmentally risky areas and our kids drink filtered water. The only thing we could do more, is to feed organic, freshly prepared RAW diet (I just don't have the time). We do feed as quality of an "adult" food to our Poodles as we can. So your pup's and your puppy's parents start out healthy and for generations. More and more people are opting to not vaccinate beyond the initial puppy 1 year vaccines and instead doing Titres every 3 years to measure level of antibodies or vaccinating every 3 years or just not vaccinating at all. Either of these choices is certainly a lot wiser than needlessly vaccinating a healthy dog every year for no reason. Topical flea/tick medication, oral medication and Vaccines given to your pet is a toxic soup you are constantly exposing your pet to. Think about it, next time you blame a breeder for your pet's ill health. We as Breeders keep our dogs as toxic free as we can, but after our pups leave our home, we have no control over their health choices and we can not be responsible for poor choices owners may make that can effect the long term health of our pups. (CBC's Marketplace's under cover dog "Marshall", CANADA'S TOP BULLDOG 2012) YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO: "BARKING MAD" I really can't stress enough to forgo the shine expensive Vet clinics that treat you like a VIP and is staffed by Veterinarians with less than 10 years experience. Your puppy will receive the most appropriate care at a busy clinic that is experienced in large animals, that has Veterinarians with 20+ years of experience, (usually farm vets, Think "The Incredible Dr. Pol) because your puppy is more likely to only receive care and or treatment that they will need from an experienced Vet that has seen it all. Established Vet's will also probably not be recommending crazy in-depth extra services just because they won't have a new machine a new clinic or school bills to pay off, or worse have no idea what they are looking at so they try a "hit and miss" approach for treatment options. PLEASE watch this episode of "Barking Mad" featured by CBC's Market Place before you doubt me. YES THEY DO ALL OF THIS !! So how do you find that "good" knowledgable vet for one of OUR POODLES ? Find a Vet like the "Incredible Dr. Pol" if you can !! A Vet Clinic that is not a Chain, as they are strictly money motivated. Your vet should also have a calming effect on you and put HANDS ON YOUR ANIMAL BEFORE any recommendations. Fear mongering vets, that right off the bat start recommending procedures and or tests, wellness checks or specialists or surgeries, or make guilt inducing statements and have not yet touched your dog, are your first red flags RUN RUN RUN Vets that initially "lay hands" on your pet and listen and feel and help to educate you, is a good sign. Statements like, "his ears are a bit waxy and you can clean them out with either a home remedy (which they share with you) or we have a solution here that is inexpensive you can purchase." and they show you what they see, and how to treat yourself is an excellent sign. Vets that recommend blood work, testing or specialists without really giving your pet an exam or without expressing an opinion are a RED FLAG, as usually means they have no skill level themselves and or are not competent. Good vets will examine and usually say statements like, "looks like it might be ____ and this should work or we can try ____ treatment or ___ treatment" offering you their opinion on the problem presenting and a couple options and also price comparison, without guilt. GOOD OWNERS, will contact their breeder ASAP when in doubt about ANYTHING. GOOD BREEDERS started with a good healthy foundation dogs, have clear lines and will be knowledgable about common issues and will offer their puppy people solutions, or find out helpful information or resources for their puppy people. I do NOT know everything, but I will try to help you out. AND keep in mind, if you are not happy RETURN THE PUPPY to us we do NOT pay any medical bills, but we will buy back any of our pups at any age and for any reason. Unfortunately for pet owners, these corporations as of 2019 it is MARS are gaining a Pet Industry Monopoly !! REAL LIFE VET HORROR STORIES !!! Our brown pups can get baby teeth that "grow into" the gums. Like our Vet said, "the gums accommodate this growth as it is gradual and does not suddenly puncture the gums" These puppy teeth fall out and adult teeth come in perfectly. Offering puppy a frozen cloth to knaw on or bones or ice cubes made of chicken broth will usually help the baby teeth along with falling out. We have had Vets suggest that a young puppy with a puppy, with a tooth that was not straight and had cut into the gums get braces or oral surgery to repair. These poor people were going to be fleeced for $2,000.00 + dollars because the Vet knew that they would pay it if a "Vet" said they needed it. After speaking with me they realized that puppy/baby teeth fall out and they choose to wait the few weeks as I suggested and indeed the tooth fell out all on its own in a few weeks and adults came in perfectly. Phoenix had his 6 month dental check up with the vet (yeah I have never heard of this either)and we were told that he has a Class II malocclusion with tooth #404 striking the hard palate and tooth #110, 109, 108 are deformed with the dentin exposed and the tooth crowns are missing. The veterinary dentist is stating that tooth 110, 109, 108 grew in deformed and would like to Xray these and extract them and either shorten or move tooth # 404 with an incline plane. I know in the contract you stated you would like to know about possibly surgery before they happen. I wanted to know are you familiar with this situation and would you agree with the vets decision. Attached please find picture of 6 month 40 lbs Phoenix. Manuel L. - Charlotte, NC UPDATE 4 weeks later Phoenix's tooth and is no longer touching the roof of his mouth. My advise, is to always wait until the "ADULT" teeth come in, as 99% of the time will be perfectly normal as well, people have to wait until the Poodle is fully developed, as it and puppy's jaw is still growing. In 2011 one of our puppy people chose to IGNORE my advise, put her puppy through the unnecessary surgery of a tooth extraction. After the surgery her puppy's gums became infected and puppy became horribly ill. She then emailed me to complain about her puppy being sick and the huge medical bill she had as a result of her choice. One of our puppy people had a puppy that they made a monster of. They didn't teach the puppy properly how to not nip, jump and when visitors came they got the puppy all worked up so puppy then pee'd. When children came the puppy was constantly getting hit and told "NO" and had no positive experiences with children and soon became fearful of children and visitors The puppy growled the first time the owners tried to brush it and so they stop = puppy won This behaviour got worse as the puppy grew as owners never taught puppy to submit and or who the leader was. So instead of reading my web page on how to deal with this behaviour before it got out of control or following my instruction to seek out a suitable trainer off of the many web pages I provided They went to a Vet for prescription drugs and began medicating their puppy to modify behaviour which I'm sure you guessed, didn't work, but sure made the vet a lot of money $$. Sadly despite my best screening methods, inexperienced owners sometimes do fool me into believing they have the support and or knowledge to train new pups, as in this case. These people emailed me a year later, with this unruly, handful, claiming I bred bad, scared, vicious poodles and wanting to return their Poodle to me, which of course we will take back at any time and for any reason and in this case will keep for rehabilitation, before rehoming and refunding the owners. What is sad is this Vet knowingly prescribed drugs to a puppy whose brain was still developing knowing that the owners were just not equipped to handle the dog, knowing the medications could cause permanent brain damage, just to make a buck. Diarrhea One of our puppy people returned their cherished Puppy to us stating they could not deal another year of having intermittent bought of diarrhea again. They told me that their Vet recommended switching foods to their expensive one they sold which they did for a few weeks and got relief, then it happened again and again. They contacted me and I sent them my FOOD page which has a few suggestions for resolving this issue. However their vet told them they should biopsy the bowels which the owners agreed to doing instead, and put her on a wack of medication instead of trying the less invasive measures I had suggested on the web page Suggestions which were for sure cheaper. Sure enough, to no surprise the lining was irritated from the diarrhea ! FOLKS IF YOU BIOPSY A BOWEL OF A DOG WITH DIARRHEA IT WILL !! 100% SHOW INFLAMMATION AND IRRITATION !! This is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, just common sense. Owners being upset or "nervous" along with giving antibiotics and switching up foods and travelling and visiting people with their new puppy and giving treats, or dragging their puppy to the vet to find something will also cause GI upset So they returned their otherwise healthy 3 year old poodle to me with much grieving. We immediately took her off all the medications, put her back on the food we were feeding and left food out 24/7 for her to "free feed" instead of dishing out food amounts, only at certain times and watch her gobble it down and vomit it up. I did continue with Pumpkin and a daily probiotic. Sure enough 3 weeks and going strong she has not had any loose stools or any vomiting. Week 3 I also decided to start feeding her RAW Turkey and tripe patty each morning just to help her stomach build up healthy natural flora. Had these people just followed our advise to stop all treats, free feed a food we used add pumpkin and a probiotic OR... switch to RAW and of course keep a routine (people always forget routine is paramount for low stress) they would have resolved this issue on their own and saved a fortune and saved my puppy being put through crazy ass surgery ! To date this girl has not had any further GI issues. Always consult with me before doing any surgeries. AND if you don't get the answer you want, ASK AGAIN, as I may be at a dog show and missed your email or had technical difficulties. I will never avoid you. IF you have tried all I recommend, and you are not satisfied by all means seek Veterinarian help and or we can bring puppy for a free second opinion at our Vet Keep in mind you can always return your puppy for a refund. We do not pay medical bills but we will buy back any of our pups at any time for any reason During the 2012 Diamond Food salmonella scare we sent pups home UNKNOWINGLY with food that had been recalled. As soon as the company called us on a Saturday to inform us of the recall, we sent out emails to all our puppy people to inform them that their puppy may have samonella and to get to the Vet and get the puppy on: Antibiotics of: Metronidazole and Apo-Sulfatrim pills 1-2x a day for 7 days (at vet $22.00) Having on hand or providing Hills a/d high nutrience tin food (at vet $3.00/tin) B complex vitamins or Amino B complex liquid Vitamin 2x a day for 7 days ($18.00/2oz) IF they wished... Treat puppy at home "unless" puppy gets dehydrated and then puppy should see the Vet for IV overnight to hydrate. Thankfully most of our puppy people did follow our very simple treatment recommendations from our Vet, which we also followed. However one of our puppy people in Nova Scotia took their Vet who told them he needed to do an Xray on their puppy as a precaution, also deciding to give the puppy barium swallow (so Contraindicated with these symptoms) and because puppy didn't pass the barium this Vet decided to perform stomach surgery on that poor puppy to remove the barium ! Unfortunately this couple called me AFTER this Vet's butchery and expensive Vet bill that they PAID ! Another of our Puppy people were very affluent and took their puppy to the most expensive and impressive clinic in the area. This Clinic saw dollar signs with this couple and soon had them paying for every diagnostic procedure they could come up with, totally ignoring the facts that were provided to them and told the couple they would have to quarantine their new puppy for 2 weeks for fear of Parvo Virus at $350.00/day to ensure the puppy was responding to treatment well enough to go home... We provided education to the Vet clinic that ALL our pups will test positive for Parvo Antibodies, because we immunize for this disease But again the clinic ignored the facts provided to them, as did the new owners. Sadly these people still believe that their Vet provided perfect care to their puppy and will continue to go there with my poor puppy, who will be the subject of goodness knows what future unrequired surgeries or procedures. OF course it is not only the public that gets ripped off. I get brain farts too. I woke up one morning to hear a puppy rasping bark... So I took him to a local vet that was open for emergencies thinking puppy had something lodged or Kennel Cough Without examining my puppy he said he wanted blood work and Xrays... After paying the $90.00 visit fee I said "no" took him to my vet 1.5 hours away. Who said "you have never had kennel cough so I doubt this is it". He looked at the puppy's throat and proclaimed "there is a red thread caught on his back tooth" and with great struggle finally removed it. It was hanging back there tickling and irritating his throat. Problem solved with a $45.00 visit. Important to know that even if puppy had kennel cough, there is no need for any treatment. Kennel cough will resolve itself within 2 weeks on a healthy dog as is just like our Human flu and bordetella vaccine (kennel cough vaccine) is just as useless as the Human Flu vaccine as the strain mutates faster than the vaccines can be manufactured. I purchased a puppy from a Breeder in NY. When I got home the puppy was lethargic, barely moving and not eating. When the puppy did move, it was limping as if it had a broken leg. I ran to the Emergency Clinic (yes I'm a slow learner...) and just walking through the door was $90.00. Before they even laid hands on the puppy they informed me of a number of diseases it could be and what extensive tests they would have to do to "rule out" health issues. Again... I regained my senses and left, going to my Vet the following morning. My Vet took one look at the puppy and felt his limbs and asked "when did this puppy receive it's last vaccination and what was it"? As soon as my Vet heard that the puppy was vaccinated 2 days ago and with Lepto and corona (puppy was way too young for this vaccine) he prognoses that the puppy had a reaction to the Vaccines causing fever, stiffness, sore joints and abdominal tenderness. We were told to take puppy home, feed AD science diet tin food and puppy should recover in a week, which he did. That vet bill with a case of tin food cost me under $100.00. We ended up neutering this puppy as didn't turn out to be show quality and found him a quality pet home We informed the new owners that the puppy can NOT have any more vaccines and for sure not Lepto or Corona and advised if they are worried to to Titres instead. These people IGNORED our purchase instructions and agreement and instead listened to their Vet (who also ignored our instructions) and vaccinated their puppy, who seizures and died. FOLKS... we only want to help you take the best care of your pups !! Breeder Friend of mine wanted me to add this onto the web page as is the most common rip off Vet's will try. She sold a puppy to a family and months later they called her to say they saw the puppy had spaghetti type worm. Of course as every knowledgable Dog Breeder knows is Whip Worm and does require a special dewormer sold by the Vet. (FYI whip worm symptoms mimic Addisons Disease). Breeder told them to just go into the vet and also told them what dewormer to ask for. Their vet said that he would have to see the dog which was fair enough, at the cost of a Vet Visit They brought the worm to show him. The vet said that he had to witness the worm from the puppy and said he would have to do a fecal exam for a fee of course $$ AGAIN... as every knowledgable breeder knows, whip worm can be undetectable in fecals and the Vet had the worm ! So just imagine.. this vet also knew that as well $$$ The Vet dispensed the dewormer to them (which of course was priced at 10x what it should have been) Charged them for a Vet exam, physical, and fecal exam which was over $200.00 for a $10.00 prescription and told them that just because the fecal was negative doesn't mean that the puppy didn't have whip worm, just it was not shedding the worm at that time and that they should come back in month to recheck the puppy out $$$$$$ and they would have also dewormed the puppy !! When the couple called their breeder to say what a good thorough vet they had found, the breeder soon set them straight with the scam. So always check with your Breeder, it is a free consult from someone that has basic medical knowledge and knows their dogs. AND what most Breeders will tell you is to "just treat the puppy with dewormer because fecals are not reliable, are an additional cost and treatment with a dewormer is cheap and will not harm a healthy worm free puppy". (photo is an "example" only) This next story (trust me I have a million of them) happened to friends of ours that had a greyhound with a swollen toe. They went to the most expensive vet in their area wanting the best treatment for their fur baby. Their Vet said "it is probably cancer and I will book amputation of the toe for next week, meanwhile we should biopsy and and send it in". That bill cost them $500.00. THANK GOODNESS they contacted me before they made any further health care choices and I convinced them to go to my Vet an hour away, who does not have a fancy new clinic but who has 35+ years of experience and is sought out by Breeders and caring pet owners from all over North America (some even flying in to see him). My Vet took one look at the toe and said "he has an infection and what appears to be a broken toe. I will prescribe antibiotics and there is this treatment of putting honey on it that will reduce the swelling" and he had the audacity to only charge them under $75.00. Unconvinced by this simple diagnosis and inexpensive vet visit, they called me again and I had to say "try it cause you know you can always cut off parts of your dog later if it doesn't work" (common sense people..geesh) So they did and 2 days later the swelling was almost completely gone and well there is nothing they can really do for a broken digit, but the dog kept his quality of life, his ability to walk properly and his toe. Of course now my Vet walks on water according to this couple. Broken Toe. One of my puppy people wrote me about her puppy having a broken toe and how great the Vet was so caring and concerned that they put an almost full leg cast on this poor, growing puppy $$ The vet was so concerned they even did an Xray to confirm $$ (I don't know of any Vet worth their salt, that can't tell if a digit is not properly lined up or not by touch) The vet was so concerned puppy not be in pain that they even gave pain medication.. This caring Vet also wanted to see the puppy every 2 weeks to redo the cast and or wrapping $$ Caring Vet NOT $$$ What the Vet didn't tell them was that the puppy didn't need a cast and certainly NO PAIN MEDS. We have had our show puppy get a fracture by jumping off the deck. No Xray, No meds, No Cast = Grand Champion Poodle Puppy will have to be kept from running by being leash walked to potty for 6-9 weeks No playing or rough housing of any sort for those weeks, until the injury heals. We say no pain medication, because by experiencing discomfort, the puppy will limit themselves from further injury If there is any signs of infection of course you might need some antibiotics or raw honey application. We say no wrapping or Casts because they can cause more damage and grief, with possible dermatitis under the bandage/cast as well as causing puppy to have unwanted weight on knee and hip joints as well as injury from improper body mechanics Just have to think of how many humans you have seen with "toe casts" ? Example I have had a call about a puppy with a rasp sore throat, blood in the mouth. They called the emergency clinic who said "rush them in to see the Vet". Thankfully they called me before they went to the Vet. I was able to assure the couple that based on the age of the puppy, that puppy had just probably lost a tooth and swallowed it and give it overnight to see how this otherwise bouncy and happy puppy would fair. Sure enough puppy was perfectly healthy the next day and they even found another tooth in one of the pup's toys. I have tons of information available on my web page, I'm available 24/7 to help you with any issues you may have. INNOCENT ISSUES THAT HAVE COME UP We have had a couple complain of a very sick dog with organ failure and some very upset pet owners... because the Vet told them they had purchased a defective dog and to contact the breeder to pay their vet bill !! Only to receive an answer my email asking how their puppy was, a week later to find out that the poodle had drank antifreeze that the owners found tipped over out back. Quick to blame, slow to offer an apology ;) We have also had people have a sick adult dog that they were very upset with us over. Their Vet suspected we sold them a defective dog. However once the dog received IV treatment he got all better which was not something the Vets expected to see with a congenital issue, which told them it was exposure to something. Credit goes to the owners as they pieced together the mystery. Their parents owned an orchard and they had started walking their poodle through this orchard routinely and it was after a few weeks of their walking there that their dog was very sickly and they put it together that the orchard was being constantly sprayed and their adult Poodle was drinking out of the puddles along their walk. Their dog ended up being fine and is still alive today. RARE.....1x in 25 years Another of our browns developed kidney issues...knowing we don't have such problems in our lines we asked them to do further testing and thankfully they had a common sense Vet...they found out that their adult dog that was being used for hunting, actually had been exposed to Leptospirosis and received proper treatment and recovered. This is from someone that contacted me for a puppy....NOT ONE OF OUR PUPS After we got Theodore, he could hardly walk and his muscles had atrophied as he was kept in a cage most of the time. We noticed his urine was not concentrated and after a few months of antibiotics we did an ultrasound and found he had kidney disease. We later found out he had gotten into antifreeze and the owner did not tell the breeder when they returned him. They returned him because he had a seizure and they did not want to deal with any problems. We lost our beautiful boy just before he turned three Irene - Burlington I mention these stories to remind people that our Poodles/Dogs are living breathing creatures and as such can and will be exposed to all sorts of things and may have any number of issues as a result and where there is no one to blame, except chance. I network with animal health care professionals ALL the time and I am always updating my knowledge base. With my over 24 years of experience of Breeding and Training and with my knowing my own lines better than anyone else I will be able to assist you in some manner, so do give me a chance to help you out with one of my precious pup's health. ~ But please do realise in advance.... that I refuse to be held accountable, for the choices YOU make for your puppy ~ We would also like to see you be informed about Lepto or Corona vaccination by your Vet to make an informed choice, knowing the side effects and that some dogs and breeds (Weimaraner) do react and have seizured and some pups will come up lame with muscle weakness, from this vaccination. Vaccines have even caused autoimmune hemolytic anemia or AIHA in dogs. While vaccinations are always going to be neccessary part of our lives it is paramount that owners be educated and make the best choices for their puppy. Long term effects from Vaccinations are being studied and a Puppy Owner must consider the pro's and con's Some Vets are also giving a Rabies vaccine every year, which is against the manufacturer's recommendation in many cases. Again... ask questions and be informed, because your puppy (my puppy's) health is at stake here. Cancer... a big concern for people and all breed and mix breeds today. We live in such a toxic environment, of chemically treated dog foods live near or under hydro wires, freely administer chemical shampoos to our pets and or spray furniture with chemicals to smell better, spray our yards or walk our dogs over chemically sprayed lawn or fields or orchards. One owner of a Shih Tzu, wanted me to warn people not to walk their dogs on lawns as theirs developed nasal cancer from inhaling chemically treated lawns. We have been doing a ton of research on vaccines and how they contain some harmful substances used to extend the life of vaccines, that years ago they didn't. Rabies has mercury to name one, so we have been following Jean Dodd's protocol and hope our puppy people will follow our recommendations because over vaccinating has lead to several strains of cancer, seizures that you can read about on this page: http://www.bijoupoodles.com/Vaccines.html This is going to be painful and possibly hurtful for pet owners to hear but... One thing I want all dog owners to know is as a health care professional I know treatment for cancer is worse than the actual cancer and for the limited time of life extension for the amount of suffering the animal will silently endure (seemingly not in pain and not complaining) because animals only want to please their owners, well owners have to decide for themselves what they wish to put their animals through. I don't know any vets that have their bills and equipment paid off that would recommend or even encourage chemo for pets with cancer because they do all know that the pain and suffering the poor animal will endure will only buy the OWNER a few additional months with their cherished companion. And yes they will certainly donate to a fund in your animals name and send you a lovely card though :( The vets in the end are the only ones that win $$ CONSIDER THIS We only breed Poodles that have passed every conclusive health clearance available to us at the time (constantly growing). We raise our Poodles as toxin free as possible which means limited use of vaccines, no heart worm, no flea or tick medication no pesticides in their yard, quality dog food, non-smoking home, no factories with toxins in the air, no hydro wires, no microwaved food. We strictly supervise people with our pups to ensure "0" injuries and we do not go to off leash dog parks risking head injuries or such. HOWEVER... Once that puppy leaves our care, we have no control over the medical choices, lifestyle choices, environmental choices food choices that you are going to make for your puppy, so it is really not our responsibility for issues that come up beyond our control. We do the best that we can, no expense spared, to ensure you get a quality bred, healthy puppy the day of purchase.

Dozens Take Part in Health Walk
Gloria Serra, a volunteer at the UMMA Community Clinic in South Los Angeles, is always giving tips to clients seeking health advice. At the top of her list—exercise. So, on a recent Friday, she put on her walking shoes, visor and sunglasses and joined dozens of other volunteers, residents and healthcare providers for a two-mile walk to celebrate health and fitness.
Although the sun's intense heat pressed down on them, Serra and the other walkers marched on enthusiastically. Serra says she has seen more interest among clients in talking about the connection between obesity and major health problems. They want help.
"A lot of people are asking about healthier things to eat," she said. "I tell them not to drink soda and instead to drink water." She says she has also mastered the art of making "green" juice with kale, spinach and cactus paddles as part of her daily vitamin intake and to cleanse her body.
The organized walk, now in its second year, came after the Board of Supervisors approved a motion by Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas that commends the important service of health centers by proclaiming August 11 thru the 17, National Health Center Week in Los Angeles County. Nearly 100 people participated.
The walk, which began at St. John's Well Child and Family Center on W. 58th Street and ended at Mt. Carmel Park on 70th , was done in a partnership with the Southside Coalition of Community Health Centers, the Empowerment Congress, UMMA Community Clinic, St. John's Well Child and Family and L.A. Care.
"This walk exemplifies the importance of exercise and fitness," said Jim Mangia, CEO of St. John's. "It also creates a sense of stronger and healthier communities."
Indeed, many of the participants walked with their children in tow or in strollers. Some, like Amelia Amaro, who brought her 4-year-old daughter Janele, thought it was important to set a good example.
"It feels good to walk," she said as she sipped on a bottle of cold water. "I walk every morning when I take my son to kindergarten."
Maria Reyes was visiting the park with her children, Adan,3, and Brian, 1, when she saw the event and decided to visit. While she strolled along, receiving information from healthcare providers about healthcare enrollment, emergency preparedness, reproductive health and blood pressure tests, her sons munched on bananas, watermelon slices and grapes.
"This is great," she said and then looked down with pride at her two boys. "And they have a great appetite."

some of the pictures seem to be so creepy! but some of them are really cool, especially Beat It and Smooth Criminal :)
Yeah I don't like some of the images...but like you said some of them are really cool :)ReplyDelete
you know this is what you should realise- the style- yeah he got 'it' even when he was little he wore his clothes with a certain swagger. But this is the thing do you see the poses- and I dont necessarily mean the signature ones- Michael is a visual artist and a dancer. (I love the Italian Vogue issue)ReplyDelete
He FELT instinctively how to 'strike' pose. All is well & I like seeiing the tributes on magazines. People SHOULD realise his influence- MJ= culture a way of living- But like all things it has two sides: these magazines they are is still getting attention & collecting money because they simply copy his sense of style- Put him on a cover of anything & it sells. Its al physological.
One love. Love your blog to pieces though.
