Time for the HoH competition. At last, Julie explains the endgame. Everyone is eligible to win this final Head of Household competition, which consists of three parts, and will conclude on Thursday. At that point, the winner will evict someone on the spot. They begin phase one of the competition, and I'm a little bit nervous, and not ashamed to admit it. Well, maybe just a little bit ashamed. In this first portion of the game, Julie reads a word that one of the evicted houseguests used to describe either Will, It'sOnica, or Nicole. The houseguests need to guess which of them that word describes. Nicole groans.
The first word, "brave," comes from Autumn. All of the houseguests guess themselves. But Autumn was describing Nicole, who then takes the early lead.
Next is Kent, whose word is "energetic." Everyone guesses Will, which is correct. Nicole is still ahead.
Krusta used the word "strong." Will and It'sOnica guess that she was talking about It'sOnica, which is correct. Nicole picks herself. The game is tied. Suspense!
Shannon's word is "aggressive." Nicole and Will guess that she was describing Nicole, and they're right. Nicole and Will are now tied for the lead.
Sheryl used the word "explosive." Everyone looks blank. Will is the only person to guess It'sOnica, which is the correct answer. He moves into the lead and, at home, I yelp "yes!"
Bunky's next. His description is "arrogant." Everyone guesses Will. Everyone is right. "It's 'confident'!" Will says. Everyone twitters nervously.
Mike's word is last, and it's a toughie: "Loyal." Will looks guilty, then shakes his head. No one seems confident about his or her answer, and no one gets it right. The correct answer was "Nicole," who is the last person I would have thought Mike Boogie considered loyal. At the end of this segment of the competition, Will is in first place, followed by Nicole, and It'sOnica. But it's very close, and Julie points out that it could all change Tuesday! God, if this goes down to a Will/Nicole showdown, I don't know if I'll be able to stand it.
After the competition, the houseguests all agree that they had no idea what they were doing in there. As they walk out to the patio, Will reaches his hand down his pants to, I don't know, scratch, or readjust, or whatever it is men do with their junk when they stick their hands down their pants. They wonder whether they're still on television, and Nicole moans that Jeff must be around somewhere. She wonders whether they let him go behind the walls to peek into the house. "They're not going to make him sit in the parking lot," Will snarks. So Nicole starts mournfully looking at the walls, while Will and It'sOnica go outside to play yet another game of backgammon. On her way outside, Nicole trips and almost bites it in the kitchen. Finally, she makes it outside without incident. "That was wack," she says. "Wiggity wack," Will agrees. "I'm explosive?" It'sOnica asks. Heh. Those last two minutes were the most entertaining part of this entire episode.

The bad guy is incapable of living without the assistance of a machine or another person
Big Bad or other major antagonist severely injured or drained of power. It doesn't have to be a machine; it can be the inability to survive without attatching to another body. This can be a way of creating sympathy for the villain, showing that they are weak or dependant. The weakness can be exploited by someone attacking them -- the Evil Overlord may not have full strength because of what's happened to him, or may be stuck in one place. Dependance means that The Hero can destroy the support system to destroy his enemy. Frequently, the very thing that made the Dark Lord this way was done by the protagonist, sometimes in a battle that didn't succeed in killing the enemy but did injure him. This can be a sign that the hero wasn't ready to fight the villain, that he did so rashly, etc.. This may result in a Dragon-in-Chief. Not to be confused with Evil Cripple. See also Man in the Machine, Brain in a Jar and No Immortal Inertia.

Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson is free on $10,000 unsecured bail. That means he didn't have to put up any money, but he would owe the $10,000 if he fails to show up in court.
Iverson surrendered to authorities on Tuesday to face charges that he burst into an apartment with a gun. He didn't enter a plea, but his lawyer says he's going to plead innocent.

According to the US State Department, only 37% of Americans have a passport, compared to the British, who own passports at a rate of around 70%. Europeans tend to laugh at this discrepancy, while Americans chuckle and point out how even the biggest European countries would fit comfortably in some of our states; we don't need to travel between nations to get somewhere different.
After 9/11, the federal government decided that even travel between friendly nations, such as Canada, should require a passport upon return so more people are looking to get one these days.
The problem is, it's a bit of a pain. You can't just get a passport in your home town, you have to go to a big city. It takes a long time, costs quite a bit, and is only useful once in a while. Plus, it has to be updated regularly.
And lately, the State Department has decided they ought to make it harder. Edward Hasbrouk at Consumer Traveler reports:
The U.S. Department of State is proposing a new Biographical Questionnaire for some passport applicants: The proposed new Form DS-5513 asks for all addresses since birth; lifetime employment history including employers' and supervisors names, addresses, and telephone numbers; personal details of all siblings; mother's address one year prior to your birth; any "religious ceremony" around the time of birth; and a variety of other information. According to the proposed form, "failure to provide the information requested may result in … the denial of your U.S. passport application."
One of the questions on the proposed questionnaire:
"Please describe the circumstances of your birth including the names (as well as address and phone number, if available) of persons present or in attendance at your birth."
Under this proposed change, to get a passport, they want you to provide phone numbers of your employers, information about siblings, and so on. Look, I understand a desire for security, but with this and the child-groping searches in the TSA, it has clearly gone too far.
I don't even rightly recall all the places I've worked, or when, or who the boss was, and have no method of contacting most of them. Some of the places I worked for shut down and are no longer in existence. I don't remember all the dozen or so addresses I've lived at, or when.
To a certain extent, I can of understand the use of this to specifically and definitely pinpoint the exact person with a passport, but it also seems like a useful way to build a good government profile tracking peoples' history and movements over the years as well. Do we really want them to have that information so easily?
It's not like they can't get it, but they'd have to dig at it, and this would just hand the information over on a silver platter. This is more information than the federal government requires on a security clearance questionnaire; although to be fair, they do send out people to do background checks on those as well.
But all of this, for a passport? I don't even want one; I just thought it would be nice to have some time. If this is what I have to go through, I expect I'll hardly be alone in just not getting one.

Poisonous Snakes Crossing Your Path! Don't be afraid, be prepared
August 21, 2014 by clarice
Filed under All Posts, Animal News, Reptiles, Wild Animals
An autumn nature hike is enriching and relaxing, but keep in mind… you're not alone!
August and September are two of the most beautiful months to explore the great outdoors. The weather is perfect and nature during this time of year is awesome.
All is calm and serene with insects buzzing, a bird chirping here and there, and maybe a light breeze or the cheerful sounds of a bubbling stream. What could be more enjoyable?
Yet in this seemingly peaceful environment you must be attentive and prepared for any encounters with wildlife. The great outdoors is the home to many creatures, small and large, and you are traversing their native space. Animals are generally shy and reserved, preferring to go about their business and keep to themselves. But sometimes contact is unavoidable, and this includes running into poisonous (venomous) snakes.
Snakes are very remarkable animals. They have adapted to live on the land in the trees, grasslands, and desert areas and they are also found living in water, including the oceans. They eat meat so will prey on insects, birds, small animals and other reptiles, and sometimes even other snakes.
Being cold-blooded animals they are unable to regulate their own body temperatures, so they are most active when it's warm and less active as it gets cold. Snakes like to come out when it's sunny, but not scorching. Sensitive to temperatures exceeding 80 degrees, they are most likely to be seen early in the morning, in the evening, and during the nighttime when it's warm.
Preventing snake bites
A nice thing to know is that snakes only bite if they are provoked or startled. Most snakes do not act aggressive toward humans without provocation and by simply leaving them alone, you should be okay. Despite a sinister reputation, snakes are almost always more scared of you than you are of them. If you spot a rattlesnake or other venomous snake, you should stop, watch it and let it leave before continuing on.
Avoiding snake bites is not difficult as long as you take precautions. Educate yourself about the types of snakes in your area before venturing out, and then stay aware of your surroundings. Wear the appropriate clothing for outdoor activities too, like long pants and hiking shoes. Although these may not stop every bite they can help deflect a bite.
Venomous snakes have modified salivary glands that they use to inject venom. During a bite the snake passes the venom into a duct into their fangs, and then into its prey. However they can regulate whether or not to release venom, and don't necessarily inject venom with all bites. A bite without venom is known as a "dry Bite" and will occur between 25-50% of the time. This varies with different species; pit-viper bites will be dry about 25% of the time while coral snakes will be dry up to 50% of the time.
Only a small number of people experience snake bites. On average about 7,000 people in the United States report being bitten by venomous snakes each year. As reported by the Rapid City Journal, the curator of reptiles at Reptile Gardens south of Rapid City, snake expert Terry Phillip says that the No. 1 reason people in this country are bitten by venomous snakes is because they were "trying to catch, kill 'em or tease 'em." Further, of those bitten by venomous snakes, 89 percent are men between the ages of 16 and 30 years.
Phillip further states that if bitten by a venomous snake, make wise choices. None of the common field treatment myths are effective, like the cut-and suck method, tourniquets, nor applying ice or alcohol. He says to remain calm and remove jewelry or anything that will restrict movement from the affected limb, and then seek medical emergency treatment immediately. If you get bit call your local poison control center, then the center will call a hospital in advance for treatment.
Poisonous (venomous) snakes in the United States
There are about 25 species of poisonous (venomous) snakes in North America, with at least one or more species found in each of the 50 states. The most notable venomous snakes in North America are comprised of two groups; the Pit Vipers which include Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouth, and Copperhead snakes, and the Coral Snakes.
The Rattlesnakes are probably the best known venomous snakes, and this pit viper is found all across the United States. They are so named for the "rattle" at the tip of their tail, which when sounding, strikes fear into the heart of the intruder. Their primary method of protection is their camouflage rather than the rattle, so you know they are riled if you hear it sizzling.
There are 32 recognized rattlesnake species in the genus Crotalus, all bearing a large pair of fangs. Though none of these snakes are considered aggressive, if threatened they are known to hold their ground. A few familiar species include:
- Western Diamondback Rattlesnake C. atrox
The Western Diamondback, ranging from California to central Arkansas and south into Mexico, has gained much of its notoriety due to being featured in Western Movies.
- Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake C. adamanteus
The Eastern Diamondback is the largest of the rattlesnake species and is the heaviest, though not the longest, venomous species in the United States. It has large range from North Carolina to Florida, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
- Sidewinder C. cerastes
The Sidewinder is a well known snake from the Midwest deserts where is slithers sideways across the sands leaving a zigzag pattern in its wake. It ranges from Utah and Nevada, then south through Arizona and California and into Mexico and down the Baja.
- Timber Rattlesnake C. horridus
The Timber Rattlesnake C. horridus is an abundant snake, and the most populous of rattlesnake in the northeastern United States. It ranges from the northeast south through Florida and into Minnesota and Texas. It is commonly found on wooded hillsides and rocky outcrops.
The Copperhead Agkistrodon contortrix is also a pit viper with 5 recognized subspecies. It is widespread throughout the Eastern and Southeastern United States. It is responsible for most of the bites from venomous snakes, and although the bites are quite painful they rarely life threatening. Still a victim should still get medical attention.
Coral Snakes
The Coral Snakes comprise a large group of venomous snakes, and they are not restricted to just the Americas. However the New World has the largest number, with 65 recognized species in 3 genera. These snakes are extremely toxic. Their venom is a powerful neurotoxin that requires prompt snake bite treatment. A bite from one of these fellows will shut down your nervous system and stop your heart.
Coral snakes are identified by the colored bands ringing the entire length of their body and a blunt black snout. The bands alternate in red and black, with a thinner yellow in between. They can easily be confused with the harmless King Snake, as their body colors are similar looking, though the King Snake has a red snout. It is the arrangement and size of the colored bands that distinguish the two. A rhyme that can help distinguish them goes like this, "Red touch yellow, kill a fellow (Deadly Coral snake). Red touch black, friend of Jack (Harmless King snake)." Three species encountered in the United States include:
- Eastern Coral Snake Micrurus fulvius
The Eastern Coral Snake typically ranges from North Carolina through Florida and along Mississippi.
- Texas Coral Snake Micrurus tener
The Texas Coral Snake typically ranges in Texas, but is also found in Arkansas and Louisiana.
- Arizona coral Snake Micruroides euryxanthus
The Arizona coral Snake, also known as the Western Coral Snake, typically ranges in Arizona and south to Sinaloa in western Mexico
The Cottonmouth Agkistrodon piscivorus, also called the "water moccasin," is another species of pit viper with a serious bite that can be fatal. Although this snake's aggression is somewhat exaggerated, it is a fast fellow and an occasion male can be aggressive and cranky. It has a thick, heavy body that's brownish or olive/gray in color and a flat topped head. It is known to stand it ground when annoyed and may gape repeatedly, exposing the cotton-looking lining of its mouth, thus its common name. It ranges across the east, Mideast and southeastern United States.
The beauties of autumn season are yours to fully enjoy when you are aware of the venomous snakes in your area and ready if one should cross your path. Fully prepared, your hiking experience will be fun and relaxing!

Vivariums, Perfect Homes for Exotic Pets
February 1, 2014 by Contributing Author
Filed under All Posts, Aquariums, Freshwater fish, Reptiles
Housing your pet will never be as fun or rewarding as when you create its perfect home.
Each animal has its particular habitat needs and a vivarium setup is a re-creation of its natural home. There are as many unique virarium arrangements as there are exotic pets.
A vivarium is an enclosure where selected plants and animal species are kept or raised. The concept of vivariums started initially as a medium to study and research selected flora and fauna. Literally, vivarium means "a place of life".
The ecosystem inside a vivarium is created to simulate, on a smaller scale, the environment conditions, which are favorable to the species. Vivariums can range from small enclosures that can sit on a table to a very large structure that houses bigger animals and are placed outdoors.
Types of Vivariums
There are several types of vivarium depending on the habitat that you wish to simulate and the accompanying flora and fauna that will be used. These include:
- Aquarium: These are water habitats that can house freshwater fish, saltwater fish, and coral reef inhabitants.
- Insectarium: These habitats are for housing insects and arachnids.
- Terrarium: This is generally a dry habitat for housing reptiles
- Paludarium: The paludarium simulates a semi-aquatic habitat such as in rainforests or swamps. Other setups of a paludarium combine a terrarium and an aquarium, sometimes known as a viquarium
- Riparium. A riparium recreates the wet habitats near lakes, rivers, and ponds. The setup is suitable for marginal plants that thrive best in the water-saturated soil along the water's edge.
- Penguinarium: A unique habitat for housing penguins
Materials for a vivarium
Vivariums are commonly made of clear plastic or glass containers. Wood or metal can also be used as long as there's a side, which is transparent. There are also vivariums made from plywood with built-in sliding glass doors.
The material that you will use depends on what flora and fauna you plan to put in, the desired size, height and weight, cost, desired quality, as well as the ability of the materials to simulate the natural environment and provide protection against extreme environment conditions.
Coated plywood can retain heat better compared to glass or plastic vivariums. These types of enclosures can also withstand high humidity. When making a vivarium, it is recommended to place a high-drainage substrate on top of a layer of stones to help retain humidity without the substrate surface being saturated.
The type of substrate will depend on several factors including what is favorable for the plants and/or animals, the benefits, and the aesthetic value. The most common substrates used include soil, wood chips, pebbles, peat, sand, coconut coir, and wood mulch. There are also vivariums that use tissue paper and newspaper.
These are the recommended methods to effectively regulate humidity inside the vivarium:
- Regular pulverization of water
- Enhanced water evaporation by placing a basin inside
- Use of humidifiers and automated pulverization systems
The lighting system is always designed to meet the requirements of the animal and plant species. Various types of bulbs are needed to simulate specific natural environments. There are also certain flora and fauna that require a good source of ultraviolet rays for vitamin D synthesis and assimilation of calcium. Specialized bulbs are available which can emit a more natural sunlight effect.
You may also need to put in a day/night regulator to mimic the change between light and dark periods. The regulator is set depending on the natural habitat of the species including the season that you desire to achieve.
Heat inside a vivarium can be provided in several ways:
- Heat rocks
- Infrared lamps
- Heating lamps
- Hot plates
- Heat mats
- Heating cords
- Equipment that can generate hot air inside the vivarium
The heat inside the enclosure is controlled by a thermostat. Thermo-control systems are often employed to regulate not only heat but also light cycles and humidity.
Aside from promoting proper air circulation, ventilation can also prevent the growth and development of pathogenic molds and bacteria. This is particularly true in vivariums that maintain a warm and humid environment.

Cool Pets! Reptiles… lizards, snakes, turtles and tortoises
Cool Pets! Reptiles… the Fascinating World of Lizards, Snakes, and Turtles
The sighting of a reptile captures everyone's attention! These are the most bizarre and curious of all the land dwelling creatures, and also some of the most adorable of the aquatic creatures. Like other terrestrial animals they evolved from creatures of the sea, but these animals are certainly some of the most provocative.
Reptiles, just like their aquatic ancestors, are cold-blooded animals. But unlike the familiar warm-blooded pets such as dogs, cats and other mammals, reptiles lack any sort of furry cover. Rather they are sheathed in scales, or bony plating known as scutes. Although reptiles lack that cozy, huggable appeal of a fuzzy soft covering they are fascinating to look at and intriguing in habit. They are exceptional animals and make very cool pets!
Cool Animals Known as Reptiles
Incredibly, there are over 8,000 reptile species in the world! These are extremely ancient creatures, and have been a part of many culture's folklore throughout history. This large group is divided into four classified orders.
- Turtles, of the order Chelonia, are the most aquatic and are also the oldest living reptiles, existing nearly unchanged since the Triassic period.
- Lizards and Snakes are placed in the large Squamata order, and all are terrestrial.
- The very large, carnivorous reptiles found in tropical and subtropical swamps are placed in the order Crocodilia that includes alligators, caimans, crocodiles, and gavials. The 'ruling reptiles' of the great reptilian subclass Archosauria is also part of the Crocodilia order, and includes the popular, but extinct dinosaurs.
- The tuataras from New Zealand are in the order Sphenodontia with just 2 species.
Reptiles have a vital role in the natural world. They are an important part of the food chain both as predator and as prey. Predatory reptiles eat various species of rodents and insects, yet in turn, some mammals as well as birds of prey will eat some reptiles. Both sides of the equation help to keep animal populations in balance.
Cool People that Love Reptiles
All pet lovers tend to be very passionate about animals, and that's equally true for reptile lovers. Reptile lovers repeatedly prove to be ardent enthusiasts for these unusual creatures. Also as is true to all animal lovers, these people also understand and care about the passions of their fellow reptile keepers. The dedication these fascinating creatures inspire is best illustrated by an amazing story that unfolded just a couple weeks ago.
At the recent Reptile Super Show, held on November 2nd and 3rd in San Diego, California, the herptile community came together to help an aspiring 13-year-old boy named Zayd Sheck realized his dream of owning a beautiful boa constrictor.
The United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK) reported that Zayd "…came to the USARK booth to hand over a rosy boa he found in the lobby (misplaced in container by an attendee after purchase). After speaking with Zayd's mother, we found out that Zayd has been to many reptile shows this year following one certain boa constrictor bred by SoCal Constrictors and had been saving his money to buy the boa. He had saved enough for the snake but not enough to buy a cage, so he bought two raffle tickets for a snake kit at our booth and would be able to take the snake home if he won the kit."
Well Zayd did not win the snake kit in the raffle, so a wonderful USARK volunteer spoke with the breeders of the snake, relaying Zayd's story. Together they devised a plan "…to guarantee Zayd had an incredible day!" After the raffle USARK paged Zayd, asking him to come to their booth. When he arrived they presented with the boa from SoCal Constrictors that he had been eyeing for months, along with a ReptiHabitat Snake Kit from Zoo Med. The herptile community extended a great gift to this aspiring reptile keeper. Zayd and his mother were overwhelmed with appreciation, "… Zayd's mom had tears in her eyes and hugged nearly everyone in the room"!
Benefits of Reptile Keeping
For enthusiastic reptile lovers, learning about these animals and keeping them as pets is an exciting adventure in and of itself. But reptile keepers, as is true of all pet lovers, are passionate people with a profound respect for animals. Their strong compassion lends a deep concern when any Animal Cause comes up.
The ultimate reward for both the animal world and humanity is people equipped with knowledge and the ability to help maintain and even breed these wonderful animals. Reptile lovers make it possible to save many endangered species from extinction.
Find the Best Reptile Pets
It's exciting to learn what great pets reptiles make. They come in a variety of shapes, patterns, colors, and habits. Keeping them as pets is a fascinating hobby, and they have many advantages over other types of pets. They are generally quiet, clean, odorless, and non-demanding. Many require very little space, are low maintenance, and yet are fascinating to observe.
The trick when picking out your pet is to match the reptile that best fits into your lifestyle and home environment. See pictures and find great information for all sorts of Reptiles on Animal-World. A broad selection of Snakes, Lizards, turtles and tortoises will make good pets.
Join the Herp Community
You can follow in the footsteps of Zayd and attend multiple reptile shows, expos, and special reptile events. There are so many dedicated people in the herptile community that it's easy to get involved. All across the country there are numerous clubs and organizations too.
One of my personal favorite organizations is the United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK). In their own words, they are dedicated to the "…science, education and conservation" of these fascinating creatures. Join their mailing list and you will receive details about many upcoming events. Another great online resource for shows and expos is the Reptile Shows & Events on Reptile Channel. Just be warned, once you start getting involved you may very well get hooked, and be a reptile lover for life!

Four Gorgeous Sea Turtles Returned to the Sea!
September 25, 2013 by clarice
Filed under All Posts, Animal News, Reptiles
Rescued sea turtles rehabilitated and returned home
Sea turtle rescues and releases are such an exciting adventure for people, perhaps because we are mostly land dwellers.
Yet it warms my heart, and I'm sure yours too, to learn about any type of pet and animal rescue.
The warmth and caring of people, for all the creatures in the animal world, never ceases to amaze me!
South Carolina Aquarium's Sea Turtle Rescue Program
On a sunny September 13th, after treatment and revitalization at the "Sea Turtle Hospital" of the South Carolina Aquarium, four beautiful sea turtles were returned to their vast watery home. Parker, Dennis, Crosby and Skully were released at the Isle of Palms County Park, sent to rejoin with their cronies in the Atlantic Ocean.
At the season's change, as the weather warms, sea turtles begin to move into the coastal waters. They are a threatened and endangered species, and are affected by the many pressing issues surrounding coastal development. Specimens can end up in a state of distress, injured, or sick. A caring individual will rescue them and see to it that the animal is delivered into the hands of the dedicated employees and volunteers at a rescue facility, like the South Carolina Aquarium's Sea Turtle Rescue Program. There they are monitored and treated until they are well enough to be re-introduced into their natural habitat.
Four sea turtles released in September, 2013
Parker was a 5-pound juvenile Kemp's Ridley sea turtle that was accidentally ensnared in a recreational fisherman's net at the Myrtle Beach State Park Pier in June.
Dennis, another juvenile Kemp's Ridley, had been rescued as a "cold stunned" turtle last winter. Crosby is a 9-pound juvenile green sea turtle that was found in April floating on the Folly River. Dennis was one of over 30 sea turtles that had been treated for cold-stunning in various rescue facilities.
The biggest of the group is Skully, a 70-pound juvenile Loggerhead. He was found in June, stranded on a sandbar.
The South Carolina Aquarium's first beach releases for 2013 started with 5 specimens on May 23rd, consisting of a Kemp's Ridley, 2 Loggerheads and 2 Green Sea Turtles.
On July 31st at the same place 3 sea turtle's were released; Sutton, another juvenile Kemp's Ridley sea turtle, Raker another green sea turtle, and Splinter who's a Loggerhead sea turtle.
Another seven sea turtles were released a month earlier on June 18th.
Prior to that, the South Carolina Aquarium participated in the Sea Turtle Trek for Florida Release held on April 12th.
They contributed two sea turtles to the Sea Turtle Trek, a 65-pound Loggerhead and a Green Sea Turtle. They joined with the New England Aquarium and the National Aquarium in Baltimore to release a total of 52 sea turtles into the ocean. The 52 turtles were loaded onto the US Coast Guard Cutter Fort Macon and transported to the Gulf Stream where they were released.
Other organizations involved were the University of New England at Biddeford, National Marine Life Center, and the Riverhead Foundation.
When you are out and about, keep a watchful eye out for sea turtles in distress. Depending on the local rules and regulations, you can either call the local authorities or rescues to come get the animal, or if allowed, you may be able to rescue the animal and transport it to a facility.

Pet's Point of View, SuperZoo 2013
August 5, 2013 by clarice
Filed under All Posts, Animal News
"Pet's Point of View" Animal World Perspective of SuperZoo 2013!
From a Pet's Point of View, SuperZoo is great! For humans it is very cool too, and necessary to keep the industry humming along. But animals just have a simpler perspective, and its one that Dr. Jungle and I found simply enchanting.
Business and pleasure go hand in hand, but the best reasons to attend pet shows are all the awesome animals! Now don't get me wrong. I like to see cool new animal habitats, futuristic aquariums, great new toys, nutritious foods and yummy treats as well. But without the animals, what's the point?
Now at the show, just like us humans, animals too like cool habitats and they especially like food. But Dr. Jungle and I found that they spent most of their time simply hanging out watching the other pets, and of course the human animals too.
Types of Pet Shows
SuperZoo is a production of the World Pet Association (WPA). Being an industry trade show it is not open to the general public. It consists primarily of displays by manufacturers and distributors to exhibit their pet products. Retailers then peruse the displays to become familiar with the latest offerings and select items to sell in their pet stores. Some other types of shows are for pet groomers or pet breeders. These will also has displays, but as their names suggest, they cater to particular pet industry professionals.
Some of the best types of pet shows are those that are open to everyone. The "America's Family Pet Expo", also a production of WPA, is one of the largest and is held annually in Orange County California. This type of show that has displays too. But it differs in that its exhibitions are by retailers offering both pets and pet products to the general public.
Types of Pets at SuperZoo
All types of animals were represented at the SuperZoo show. Usual pets included aquatic animals ranging from the hardy saltwater clownfish and damsels to freshwater tetras, barbs, bettas, all sorts of fancy goldfish, and even corals. Birds, small animals, and reptile categories were well represented too. Unique pets popped up all over too, including fascinating hybrids and mutations of regular pets as well as new and unusual species.
One of the most interesting were the exciting and popular newcomers… the "glofish". These genetically enhanced freshwater fish are mostly barbs, tetras, and danios that sport a fluorescent glow in bright greens, reds, yellows, blues, and purples. Picasso patterned clownfish and really cool king/milk/corn snake crosses were some of the most striking looking, while some of the most unusual were the skinny (hairless) rats. Unique pets ranged from puffer fish that are a completely freshwater species (Mbu Puffer Tetraodon mbu) to some first time US imported animals like large spotted plecostomus (Hypostomus regain), and multiple varieties of brilliant tarantulas.
Dog Grooming and Competition
With all those good looking animals hanging out there's bound to be competition, and it is tough. All types of pets adore attention but here the dogs rule! Getting spruced up with the groomers is a big pastime, sometimes taking up to two hours or more! We saw dogs decked out in all their natural glory, and many dogs decked out with "creative" colors and cuts.
This was a great show! At such an exhibition I think a pet's perspective is the opportunity to stand out. What they want to know is "how do I steal the show"! Even thought there are only a few first place winners, I must say, the results were well worth it! Many of these awesome animals will soon be available to people and you can find the pet that's your "first place" winner! Check with your local pet stores or find one of these dedicated, incredible breeders.
Types of Pets: Choosing the Best Pet For You
Types of Pets
"What's your lifestyle like? There is a type of pet for you no matter what type of life you lead!"
Having a great pet experience depends a lot on finding the perfect pet for your
Many pet animals make wonderful pets, but different types of pets can suit different personalities. You will want to find a pet that is a perfect companion for your lifestyle. Your age, home environment, and activity level are all considerations when deciding what type of pet could have your needs and wants met.
Read through this guide if you are looking for a pet to share in your life but aren't sure yet what type of pet would best suit you. Once you identify a good pet for you, you will find that owning that pet can be rewarding and fun! So many people have reported how they ended up with their particular pets and how they truly changed their lives in a positive way. Most people feel their pets are a integral part of their family and couldn't imagine their lives with out them. Pets usually enhance their owners lives, and deciding to own one will most likely be a very good choice!
Now on to how to choose between all the different types of pets available to you! Not all animals will suit who you are, so there are questions you should ask before venturing forth with a particular pet. Different animals have different temperaments and specific needs, in much the same way that people differ. Examples are some animals do very well living in small apartments, whereas others need huge areas to roam around in. Some animals may need a very specific diet, while others could thrive off a simple commercially prepared meal… Read More
Animal-World's Featured Pet of the Week: The Leopard Gecko!
January 27, 2013 by Jasmine
Filed under All Posts, Featured Pets, Reptiles
Animal-World's Featured Pet for this week is: The Leopard Gecko!
Leopard Geckos are awesome lizards to keep as pets! They are good for beginner reptile keepers and are a good "staple" lizards for seasoned reptile keepers! The Leopard Gecko Eublepharis macularius is one of the easiest lizards to care for, and they are quite hardy. Pet stores almost always carry them as regular stock. If they don't have one on site they can almost always special order one for you with no problem!
These geckos don't require much of a time commitment other than basic maintenance and food. Biting is a rare occurrence with Leopard Geckos which makes them ideal lizards for children. (Remember to still supervise young children however!) They are also easy to tame and train. Many people like to walk around with their pet gecko clinging to their shirt! Breeding them in captivity is also generally easy.
Leopard Geckos are nocturnal, meaning they are active at night and sleep or rest during the day. They originate from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Blyth described them and gave them a name in 1854. North America imported these lizards regularly until sometime in the 1970's when importation became illegal. Today they are a very popular pet lizard and readily available in the pet industry. Leopard Geckos often have a ton of spots (hence their name!) but can also have no spots at all. Juvenile Leopard Geckos have no spots and do not get them until they mature a little. There are many variations in the colors and spots of these geckos. They can even come in albino and tangerine colors! Full grown size for these guys is only around 8 inches long. If you take exceptional care of your gecko he/she may live up to 20 years! Average lifespans are around 5 to 7 years however.
After you have the initial habitat set up for your gecko, they are easy to care for! For one leopard gecko, you can start out with a simple 10 gallon terrarium. You should purchase a larger one if you would like to keep more than one lizard. On the bottom, you can put paper towels, walnut-shell bedding or carpet. Be careful not to use any type of sand because sometimes geckos will ingest it as a source of calcium and too much sand can impact their intestines. Each gecko should be provided with their own hiding place (such as a log). They also love to climb, so branches or other decorations can be added. You should also purchase a lighting source. Put the light source (40-60 watt bulb) on one side of the terrarium so that your gecko can go in and out from it as it wants.
The ongoing maintenance is relatively simple and does not require too much time. Feed your Leopard Gecko mostly crickets and mealworms pretty much on a daily basis. It is suggested that you coat them a commercial calcium powder and/or gut loaded powder to make sure your lizard is taking in enough calcium, vitamins, and minerals. In particular make sure the powder you purchase has the vitamin D3. Or you could provide a UV fluorescent bulb to help provide the vitamin D3. Also give your gecko fresh dechlorinated water daily. Make sure to clean out any uneaten food on a daily basis, and wash their dishes and cage out thoroughly on a weekly basis.
Most Leopard Geckos do fantastic in a captive home environment, especially when well-cared for. One of the most common problems is vitamin deficiency, which can be easily remedied with the proper lighting and food powders. They can also acquire parasites if their cage is not kept clean. Again, this is easily remedied with a proper environment.
Leopard Geckos breed quite readily in captivity. I won't go into all the details, however, if you are interesting in breeding them read more here on Leopard Gecko Reproduction.
Have you determined that a Leopard Gecko is the perfect pet lizard for you? That's great! Make sure to read even more on Leopard Geckos before you bring one home!

Fix This2 Reviews
On my way upstairs Mikey stopped me. "Gee, me and Evan are... going to see Frank tomorrow.. You should come. You know.. He needs support in what he's doing."
"I could give a fuck if he needs support Mike, besides I work tomorrow. So no," I caught myself in this awful tone I was using and immediately apologized to him, using my fatigue as my excuse. The hurt expression faded from his face.
"Its okay.." he said, "Just get some sleep,"
I sighed. "Yeah, I will,"
I trekked up the stairs, and found Evan sitting on the window sill staring outside. Its amazing how perfect she could look while wearing my shirt. She was fiddling with something.. A pack of cigarettes. She looked over and weakly smiled. "Hi," she said.
I slowly approached her side, "Evan?"
I cleared my throat and shifted my weight... "You haven't been... smoking have you?"
She shook her head. "No....I couldn't find any... this pack is empty,"
I laughed hoping that was an attempt at humor. "You okay?"
"Are you?" she asked, turning back to the window. "Where did you go?"
"Just for a walk. I really needed to get some semi-fresh air." I said, smiling.
She sighed. "I've been thinking..."
I went to tuck her hair behind her ear.. But retracted my hand. "About what?"
"There's... there's a way I can fix this,"
I gasped slightly. "No... no you can't do that. We have to figure this out. Evan... you..." I grabbed her hand. "No one is going to abandon you, it doesn't matter who it belongs to. I'll still be here."
"I know you will.. And that's what I love about you..." she continued to stare out the window. "I... just get so mad at myself... that I wasn't more careful."
"We were careful baby," I said, kissing the top of her head, "These things just happen. I'm going to sleep okay?"
She stood up and kissed me, "Good night," she said, leaving the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Nothing good ever came from that.
I wandered downstairs. I really needed to work on the whole, sleeping at night and being awake during the day thing. I was never tired when it was convenient. Apparently Mikey and I shared nocturnal tendencies, as I found him mindlessly staring at the t.v. in the living room. He looked up at me and smiled as I walked in. "What's up?" he said.
"I need a fucking cigarette so bad I'm ready to kill someone, you?"
He laughed at this, "I have none, don't kill me."
"I wouldn't dream of it. So what are we watching?" I said turning to the t.v.
"I have no fucking clue." he replied. He looked over at me, "Its boring whatever it is. Are you nervous about tomorrow?"
I shrugged, "I don't know... I wonder if I should even go. Like...it's just going to cause a fight, I know it." I stared down at my lap. "I want to just... fix this...permanently."
He turned his head sideways, "How would you do that?"
I scoffed, "Get rid of the problem," I said, motioning to my stomach.
His eyes widened. "What?! You can't do that are you fucking crazy?"
I gave him a look. "I know I can't."
"I don't know why you are so scared, that baby is going to be so fucking loved it won't even know what to do with itself."he said, folding his arms across his chest.
"What are you talking about?"
"Think about it. Gerard will love it no matter who it belongs to. Frank might not if its Gerard's, but if it is you got the crazy uncle," he pointed to himself. "And you'll be such a good mum,"
I smiled at every word that left his mouth. "Thanks Mikey,"
"You're welcome, now stop stressing okay?"
"I'll try," I said, hugging him. "Thanks again, I think I'm going to try and get some sleep. Wake me up when you want to leave okay?"
"I will."
I climbed into bed next to Gerard. He was sleeping already, and deeply. I leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear, "I love you,"
He didn't even stir. I fell asleep soon after.
Mikey woke me up at ten, already prepared to leave. "I need a few minutes. Ten at the most,"
He sighed, impatient. "Okay."
Gerard was gone, to work I was told. But I found a piece of paper folded up on the nightstand.
I love you too!
And that was all it said. I smiled and realized I had wasted three of my ten minutes staring at this paper. I quickly changed into whatever was lying around, swiped some eyeliner on and pulled my hair up into a crazy ponytail. Mikey was waiting by the door with two travel mugs full of coffee.
"Yay! Caffeine!" I said, grabbing one from him.
"Okay, lets go," he said, pushing me out the door.
When we arrived to this massive building and were seated in an uncomfortably small visitors room. Ten minutes passed before he walked in the room and sat in tho couch across from me, next to Mike. One thing to make it less awkward. Yay.
We made extremely uncomfortable small talk for a while. It really surprised me though, Frank was there voluntarily and could leave whenever he wanted. But he didn't.
Mikey stood up. "Washroom?" he asked.
"Oh, just outside to the left," Frank said.
I shot a look to Mikey, mad that he was leaving. He saw it and just smiled. What a jerk.
I just stared at the door until Frank got up and moved next to me. I flinched a bit and moved over making enough room as possible.
"So, how are you doing... with... everything," he stuttered.
"I'm okay..." I replied, slowly relaxing.
A big smile spread across his face, and he said nothing.
"What?" I asked.
He shook his head, "Nothing.. Its just...were going to be so happy,"
I stared at him completely confused. "...huh?"
"Well you said you thought it was mine right? When we find out for sure, you and I are going to be really happy. That's why I'm doing this. For you,"
My mouth fell open, and no words came out.
He looked at me, genuinely unaware of why I was confused. "You okay?"
"We... you and I, are...over...Frank...nothing is going to change that." I finally managed to spit out.
"What do you mean? I thought you said the baby is mine."
"Well I don't know yet," I said. Jesus Christ Mikey was taking a long time in the bathroom, "And even if it is...why would we get back together?"
"Because... that's just what you do when you have a baby with someone."
I sat there attempting to comprehend what the fuck he was talking about. Mikey finally walked in and sat down, glancing between both of us. "You guys okay."
"Yeah," Frank answered for me.
I don't think I said another word for the entire "visit". I just wanted to go home.
A/N OMG WHAT IS THIS?! AN UPDATE?! i REALLY hope i still have some readers. i'm trying really hard to update more its summer holidays now so all i basically do is sit at my computer might as well do something productive right?

I had the most amazing bachelorette party ever. We did a Stripper 101 class in the afternoon which was such a blast, I had no idea how much mechanics went into a good lap dance or pole routine. I am totally determined to get a pole installed in my room LOL! So much fun. We all rocked matching tanks that my MOH made. Later that night we took a limo from the hotel to a yummy dinner at Grand Lux and finished our night at TAO. It was so much fun!!! Me and the BM's and 2 of my close friends left the hotel in black, my cousins showed up at dinner in black and my friends showed up at TAO all in black....I just thought it was amazing that people all came through and deliberately made a wardrobe decision in favor of me....silly, but I thought it was amazing.

Do it herself ;P
Some of my DIY projects:
Water Bottles:
(The preliminary, wrong ink and wrong bottle LOL, will post updated soon)
I ordered the water-proof water bottle labels from www.labelsbythesheet.com and in photoshop I simplified our monogram so it was just our names, I made a barcode where the numbers are our wedding date and added nutritional content.
I bought these el cheapo 10 x 13 frames from Wal-Mart for $5 each (more on the 10 x 13 frames later). I didn't like the look of the exposed open corner, I wanted a "flushed" look so on each side, one edge of the perpendicular frame became part of the new frame (you can see this a little bit better in the finished, unpainted box photo).
I attached the frames together with L brackets from Home Depot.
I knew I wanted to be able to open and close my box with ease at any time and also lock it. So, also at home depot, I purchased wood and had 2 pieces cut to the exact measurement of the circumferance of the box.
I also wanted it to rotate so I picked up a lazy susan (at yep, you guessed it Home Depot) and attached it to the wood that would be on the bottom of the box---this was THE hardest task of all, I had such a hard time :@
I drilled holes on the top layer where I wanted my slot to be. I then went around the holes with a jigsaw to cut out a rectangular opening.
I attached the top piece of wood with cabinet hinges and screwed on a lock.
I didn't like the raw edge of the wood so I purchased some wooden molding from Michaels and secured them along the edges and along the open card-slot area to frame it.
raw unfinished and unfinished
I then painted it black (well, I painted it brown first but changed my colors, then I painted it black)
Now, about the 10 x 13 frame: No wonder it was so damn cheap! This size is pretty rare, I had such a hard time trying to print out 10 x 13 size prints, so I settled for 8 x 10's. Now, the problem with this was that I needed photo mats, which are also a pain in the deriere to find. So I ended up using card stock cut to 10 x 13 size and mounted my 8 x 10's onto that.

Images coming soon!
Blinged out Toasting Flutes & Cake Server:

Thank You Parasol:
Images coming soon!
Marble Message Magnets for Favor Boxes:
Images coming soon!
Photo Coasters for Sponsors:
I bought tiles for .16 cents each at Home Depot.
I took one of our e-pics, photoshopped in the "Thank You", and had several sheets printed out at kinkos (I used the online file upload tool and just picked them up, easy peasy) Technically you can use any paper or design you like, you can also fill up all the space on the tile.
I used a paper punch for the scallops to add some texture around the pictures
Then I stuck them on with a thin layer of mod podge glue on the back and then over again on the top (had lots leftover from marble magnet project)
When they were dry, I water-proofed them with a clear gloss coating spray
I bought cork rolls from Michaels and cut them into same size squares as the tiles and used liquid nails adhesive to attach them...
Voila, photo coasters. I made 40 for <$15 ($20 ish including the mod podge but I already had it)
Wine Labels for Sponsors:
I'll try and get a better pic of this to show you. We will be giving these along with the coasters and some cheese in a basket for our sponsors.
I bought wine labels from www.labelsbythesheet.com
I bought 20 bottles of $2 buck Chuck from Trader Joes (btw, it's now $3 buck Chuck, it doesn't sound as fun though huh?)
Soaked them in tubs of water for about 2 days to really get the adhesive to disintegrate and loosen up. We then peeled off the labels, and wiped clean.
I totally had to make the template from scratch, this was the tricky part because the labels came with the stickers that you see on champagne bottles and I had to work around those. I do have a photoshop template if you need one so pm me.
I took an artys looking e-pic and made a design it says "2006 Merlot" on the red stripe and "Thank you for being a part of our special day. Love, Sharie & Ray"
Printed on my inkjet and affixed to the bottles.
Hair Flower:
modeled by my daughter, hence the "bigness" lol

Not much but I just wanted to post my DIY something blue boy shorts that I made from some super comfy cotton panties and iron on transfers from Michaels. It's too hot in Vegas to wear those cute Sexy Little Bride hoodies or "Mrs ____" ones, so I'm wearing the VS "Bride" tank and my boy shorts with my Rocky Balboa robe (lol, I call it that I feel pumped and ready to go like a boxer when I put it on teehee) it's really the "Bride" robe from VS. I LOVE IT. My favorite shower present ;)
back (I LOVE the back)
and yes, I plan on wearing them under my dress as my something blue ;) They're sooooooooo comfy and nobody will see them anyway.

Our wedding photographer relocated from Las Vegas to PA (across the country) and we were having a hard time scheduling our e-session with her so we will be doing a family session with her after the wedding but I really wanted some pictures beforehand so I enlisted in a brilliant up and coming local photographer, Joey Allen. We scheduled a 6 a.m. shoot to get a time slot and also to take pictures before all the tourists jammed up the spots but it was well worth it and I am more than pleased with his work.

The Story:
So where do I begin? We first noticed each other on a Friday night at a lounge in Las Vegas. Assuming he was a tourist and vice versa, and the fact that we didn't exchange a single word, we both thought we would never see each other again. We had no idea each other was a local Las Vegan! I thought about his smile that whole night until the next day, my friend said he was bringing a friend with him to hang out and low and behold, there was the guy from the night before. Was it fate? Most likely but either way, we've pretty much been together ever since.
We are already married, we tied the knot in a romantic, intimate ceremony (just the two of us) in a Las Vegas wedding chapel--which was always a dream of mine. And we are now planning the church wedding & reception that we will celebrate with our family & friends on the 4th of July, 2009--our anniversary!

Now that I've gotten that out of the way. Looking back at the last 30 years, I can't recall anything that I have given up to raise our children. Now Joy and Angela can have a different outlook. They gave up a lot just by being Erica's sisters. Mainly, they gave up having their parents attention. I did what I did because that was the way it was. And raising Dylan is the way it is now.

>I've had to aDD things to my life - like soccer games and ballet recitals but I didn't give UP anything . <
The one thing that I'm not willing to give up, to the point of ignoring dr's orders, is sewing. At times (way too many times I suspect if you ask dh and kids. But I'm afraid to ask.), sewing comes before family. Better yet, make that I will never give up.

It deserves all your attention
There are so many mid-size sedans on the market that choosing one can be a difficult decision. Together, carmakers sell over a million of these every year in the US, and if you don't have a competent offering in that segment, you're basically giving away profits to your competitors.
The big guns right now are the Honda Accord, the Nissan Altima, the Ford Fusion and the Toyota Camry, which topped all others as 2010's bestselling car. Here in Canada, though, the most popular mid-size sedan last year was the Fusion. Expect the new Hyundai Sonata to do some more damage to all of those mentioned above.
However, a newcomer to the segment is so good that it also has the potential to steal a significant amount of sales away from its rivals. But it won't; more on that later.
We're talking here about the Kizashi, Suzuki's first splash in the mid-size sedan category. Forget about the Verona, an unreliable, rebadged Daewoo Leganza that was sold in North America for a couple of years; this is the real thing, engineered and developed by Suzuki.
The entry-level Kizashi is the S model tested here. Step inside and you'll be greeted by comfortable seats covered in high-quality fabric upholstery that resembles the ones found in the Mazda6. The dash's combination of textures, tasteful bright trim and chrome-ringed switchgear look and feel upscale.
The base Kizashi also includes a full array of standard features, including keyless entry and start, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, an 8-speaker stereo with USB port, leather-wrapped wheel and shift knob, a power driver's seat and heated front seats.
Unlike the Accord, the Camry, the Mazda6 and the new Subaru Legacy, the Suzuki's proportions are tidy, more in line with the Fusion. As a result, two adults will be at ease in back, but three across is pushing it. One look at the narrow rear doors is a good hint that you may never see a Kizashi taxicab anytime soon; headroom and legroom are among the worst in its class, and it's got the smallest trunk, too.

For most healthy people, symptoms of flu are unpleasant but pass after several days. However, older people, the very young, pregnant women and those with underlying health issues are at risk of severe illness if they catch flu. Last year, around 760 people were admitted to intensive care with complications of flu.Flu vaccinations are free for lots of people, to protect those at greater risk and to help prevent the spread of the disease.Flu vaccinations are completely safe and cannot give you flu.Contact your local GP to get your free flu vaccination…If you're at greater risk of fluYou are at greater risk of flu if you:
If you're a carerWhether you are a paid or unpaid carer – if you're the main carer for someone who is ill or disabled and whose health would be at risk if you fell ill, you are entitled to a free flu vaccination from your GP.If you have a child aged two or threeThis year, the free vaccine is also being offered to children aged two and three. The vaccine will not only protect healthy children from flu, but will also help to reduce the spread of flu and protect others, such as younger siblings, grandparents and those who are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill from flu. Speak to your employer…If you're a frontline health and social care workerAs part of your duty of care to your patients or residents, you should do everything in your power to protect them against flu.

About time for another Ron Clements and John Musker's Disney film, right? It's been a while, and some of the all time favorites such as The Little Mermaid, The Great Mouse Detective, Aladdin, Hercules, Treasure Planet and the latest which was The Princess and the Frog, were directed by this pair!
Im glad to announce that this fantastic pair is working in a new project in the Disney Studios! They are producing (apparently the development stage is done) No Name Game which is an adaptation of Rumplestiltskin.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm very psyched about this project, because I've become a huge fan of the series Once Upon a Time, which has lent me to develop a fondness for Rumple's character.
I'm so excited! Allow me to express my joy and excitement through all of these Disney gifs!
Awesoooome! AwesomeAwesomeAwesoome! I can't wait! :D
2D PLZ. I'm so sick of 3D!! 3D is beautiful, but 2D is magicuuuull!

When traveling to motorcycle shows and exhibitions, I often like to ask chopper builders what inspires them in achieving the S-shape defined by the gas tank, seat and rear fender. In the majority of cases (when the wife isn't around), the answer is that the source of inspiration is a woman's body.
I believe that this picture reflects that very well.
P.S. Note that the woman is wearing tanga underwear just so that almost nothing would stand in between her and the bike. Looks like a perfect blend to me!

I have written before about talking with our children, but the topic has been active this week in Boston as parents have wondered and worried about how to discuss the bombing and its aftermath with their families. The basic rules, I think, apply to any crisis or problem or difficult situation: use honest, age appropriate information and raise the subject more than once, in a way that can be explored or kept short.
How children react is surely variable and, even as parents who know them well, we may not be accurate when we guess how a conversation will proceed. I have heard all kinds of stories over the past days, ranging from parents who tried (probably vainly) to totally shield their young children from the news to kids who were glued to the television. Some children have seemed unaffected while others have become overtly anxious and clingy, wanting the lights left on at night and needing frequent reassurance that "They" are not going to break into the child's home.
Cancer in the family is a less tangible boogy man, but it surely impacts everyone. My experience teaches me that it is impossible to keep the fact from children for long. You may know the cliche that children are wonderful observers and terrible interpreters of events around them. Even if you have not discussed a cancer diagnosis with them, they surely will notice the charged atmosphere, the ringing telephone, the delivered flowers, and the tense tears. I remember one woman, years ago, who never told her school age daughters about her breast cancer or chemotherapy. Although she wore a wig for months and was quite will, often spending hours in the bathroom, she had convinced herself that they were oblivious. I fear for those girls' mental health and trust in relationships in the future.
This is an excellent bibliography from the University of Michigan Cancer Center. Even if you don't need it now, it is well worth remembering or bookmarking for possible use in the future.
The purpose of this guide is to help patients and families find sources of information and support. This list is meant to provide links to authoritative, up-to-date information sources for patients, families, and caregivers.

|Hahahaha, my expectations? This dynamic between the two signs aren't often discussed here (probably a reason :p) so as a change of pace I thought I'd ask opinions. This is not to aid some persoanl vestment
Thanks for the thoughts though, I've not heard of many Cap/Leo pairings or friends. Small dose kinda thing maybe?
|The couple of Leos I've known came across as rather emotionally needy. This, in and of itself, I think would make this pairing a difficult one (not withstanding other placements, of course). I do have a Leo friend who leans on me for a lot for emotional support when he has issues with women (especially), work and life in general. But, I'm not usually very gentle - I think he calls me because he knows I'll be forthright with him. Or maybe he just likes the abuse, if he's at fault I won't hesitate to verbally smack him upside the head (or physically if I'm meeting him out).

|^^^ that's a complete misinterpretation of what I said/described!
|my boyfriend has a Leo moon and I have a Capricorn moon and most of the time we work well together....although our suns are very compatible [I'm Aquarius, he's Libra], we've been together about three and a half years...moved in together a year ago and the Leo/Cap differences have definitely reared their ugly head, especially in the finances, and it does get VERY ugly when it does get ugly, and my thoughts become really dark at those times when it comes to the future of our relationship, but he's the only guy who's gotten me to stay in a relationship for longer than three months, and we've both invested a lot into it, and most of the time he definitely does brighten my life, makes me laugh, goes out of his way to show affection - especially when we were fighting, he was trying very hard to show his love for me [and even though i was still pissed off, I did notice the energy he put into trying to smooth things over (not sure how much was Leo, how much was Libra, in the end it really doesn't matter)]....but I think with other compatible planets, it really can work, there is nobody else who can make me laugh and who can brighten up my life like he does. since we've been together, my issues with depression have been mostly kept under control, and I know most people who would've seen the 'real' me by now would've been running as fast as possible probably, hahahaha......then again, I don't know who would've stuck around after having to hear his immature whining.....and with the finances, when it got down to it and I told him straight up that he could not live with me anymore if he didn't get a job, he found a job within two days of fighting. so, I know both of us are serious about making this work!

I was surprised there weren't more of these responses
|Long time Leo lurker. I am a Leo female who dated a Cap male for 7 years. Broke up with him midway had 1.5 year break, got back together and got engaged, but I broke off the engagement. We met freshman year of college, were friends but only started dating after we both graduated. The problem with that relationship is that we were both un-evolved. Additionally, he is very much a mama's boy. When we started planning our life together he had to inform his mother of everything, would throw me under the bus, and she had a say in everything. I began to feel as if we were not 'building' anything... not forging our own path, so I broke it off. We were both 30 and I felt very uncomfortable with having to discuss everything with his mother.
I am now dating another Cap, lol. Who I also met freshman year in college. Back then we had developed an emotional bond, and there def. were feelings but he never asked me to be his gf, so I moved on with someone else. Stayed in touch, even hung out after we both graduated. Well he contacted me out of the blue last year and went IN on me, lol Telling me that I dumped him, and he was walking around with feelings for me but I dumped him and he was so hurt. This was news to me, and I told him so. I told him that he never spoke about his feelings, and never asked me to be his girl, so how was I supposed to know? He said I should have just 'known' that is the way we were heading, lololol.
I saw him for the first time earlier this year, and the fist thing he said was that I was the love of his life, lol. We've since then started a relationship, and he is VERY evolved, as am I. It works, lol. Don't kid yourself Leo ladies, Cap males are slow. But there is a difference between slowness and INERTIA. I let him take the lead, we are going at his pace, but I am loving it. We are slowly peeling back the layers and it is the sweetest thing. Thus far we have had two major arguments, the first was my fault... he could have walked away but didn't. The second was his fault I could have walked away, but didn't.
His basic nature is very similar to my ex, but he is 100 times more evolved. Thus I am able to leverage what I learned from my ex, and it is lovely.
Leo ladies, I know we love attention, but let them come to you. If you haven't heard from him in a few days, don't ask 'why haven't you called, where were you' the first time he does. My Cap rarely goes a day without contacting me, the most is a day and a h
|** A day and a half**.
Cap males are not very touchy feely at first, and may take a very long time to get there (my ex), but trust it will come. He won't tell you he loves you everyday, he just expects you to know. Know that if he is putting his time and effort, he cares.
If he says he's busy, he is. It's very easy to figure out a pattern with men... just be patient. My Cap hasn't let me down thus far. I will trust him until he gives me a reason not to.
He says he loves that I am a hard worker, is always sunny and bright, always happy, and always can put him in a good mood.
I can write a book about Leo Cap relations, so I won't bore you, PM me if needed. All I can say, is that I glad my Cap and I re-kindled things when I am in my 30's, have had chance to evolve as a person, and learn from my ex Cap.
|One last thing. Caps HATE games, furthermore, they see right through them. If I'm available I text back, pick up the phone, etc. There's a difference between being available and being needy. 99% of the time I let him initiate contact and even if I have been DYING to talk to him I never project that on him. Bottom line, have your own life, your own activities. Just know that if they are into you they will be slow but steady.
We're both very busy so I hardly every find myself sitting around waiting for that phone call or text. Still, I have learned that with ANY man, you should never guilt trip him, make him feel that you've been sitting by the phone, or that you are at all co-dependent.
Caps in particular love their space and expect that if they are giving you time and effort, they expect that you trust them, and not nag with: where were you, why didn't you call, you have another girl, you don't love me, etc.
If you're looking for a man to sweep you off your feet and go from zero to sixty in six months, a Cap is not for you.
|You two sound very happy
What's more is you've managed to peg the isms. There is experience behind the lines, you aren't just writing in traditional format. When you two didn't walk away from each other...that's important because you see, it adds so much strength and character to the relationship. Then the storm blows out and you are left with something even better than before
I hear a lot of things I do in there Not all Caps are the same but the only note I'll add is some do need a little push, pull, etc. Never too often and you are correct. There IS a pattern. May I be so bold as to inquire your chart? I am ridiculously curious.
Posted by leolady77
it's a different situation [is it okay for me to talk about me and my bf in this thread since i'm referring to our moons and not our suns? cos like....just, yknow, i know it's a different situation with our moons being Leo and Cap and not our suns, but since we started living together, I do feel like our moons are now much more part of our relationship because we dont have our own places to run off to if we need to!] but my boyfriend definitely brought out passion in me that I had always repressed......the passion that a Leo can show is definitely out of this world, it's an amazing thing to experience

I dream of the day you say, "I love you too,"
When my heart will no longer be without you.

"The Tree of Life in Bahrain is a mesquite tree which grows in the middle of desert. The tree is said to be 400 to 500 years old. Its long roots probably have found some underground water source, but it is still a miracle as it is the only green living organism living in a vast and barren desert. The local inhabitants believe that this was the actual location of the Garden of Eden."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Allison Robert said...
I'm sorry that you disapprove of my editorializing on School of Hard Knocks in a how-to guide, Burnaphatone, but I find it very difficult to describe the achievement without simultaneously acknowledging that it's very random and often frustrating (even you as a supporter have tacitly admitted this). I feel obligated to make that observation in any guide that potential newcomers might read, because they're otherwise left with no way to anticipate the potential difficulty of SoHK, and may even think they're doing something wrong if they can't get it quickly. I commonly make observations concerning the general difficulty of achievements (and why some might be troublesome to players in certain circumstances) in every guide I write for that very reason.
Whether you nail SoHK quickly or are still queuing for battlegrounds hours later is entirely a function of latency, friendly *and* enemy player cooperation, gear quality, and just sheer dumb luck. That your own faction can grief you while doing this is just icing on the cake, and to me is the sign of a very poorly-designed and mean-spirited achievement. Blizzard can and has done much better than this.
It's fine to disagree with people over the nature and difficulty of the achievement, but referring to them as "bads" is not appropriate. Please be polite, or we ask that you do not comment.

Getting Ready for the Health Insurance Marketplace
The first resource that the Initiative has developed is the Getting Ready for the Health Insurance Marketplace toolkit. SAMHSA Enrollment Coalitions Initiative participants, which are identified by their logos in each toolkit, have provided crucial input and support in the development and dissemination of this product. Anyone can access and view the 30-minute, interactive, online toolkit at their convenience.
Each toolkit is composed of three sections. The first section describes the health care law, how it works, and why it is important for uninsured individuals with behavioral health conditions. The second section explains how the Health Insurance Marketplace works, how to apply for health coverage and where to get help. The third section contains numerous communication ideas and materials from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that groups can use to create awareness and motivate uninsured individuals to enroll.
Useful resources and materials can be downloaded directly from the toolkit including articles, brochures, fact sheets, presentations, videos, posters, cards, outreach messages, flyers, widgets, and social media resources. Many of these materials are available in multiple languages and customized for specific population segments, such as different ethnic/racial groups. Organizations can choose which will be most helpful for the uninsured individuals they serve.
The tool-kit has been developed in six slightly different formats, including five based on the feedback and input of the members of the SAMHSA Enrollment Coalitions Initiative.
- Getting Ready for the Health Insurance Marketplace General Toolkit
This is a general version of the toolkit that can be used by anyone.
- Community-Based Prevention Organizations Toolkit
- Consumer, Family, Peer and Recovery Community Organizations Toolkit
- Housing and Homeless Services Organizations Toolkit
- Mental Health and Substance Use Providers Toolkit
- Criminal Justice Organizations Toolkit
