Has The End of USrael Tolled?

Coming Sooner Than You Think

The Economic Tsunami

By MIKE WHITNEY (courtesy of www.counterpunch.org)
<DIR>

"If the world's central bankers accumulate fewer dollars, the result would be an unrelenting American need to borrow in the face of an ever weaker dollar - a recipe for higher interest rates and higher prices. The economic repercussions could unfold gradually, resulting in a long, slow decline in living standards. Or there could be a quick unraveling, with the hallmarks of an uncontrolled fiscal crisis." (New York Times editorial 4-2-05)

It seems that there are a growing number of people who believe as I do, that the economic tsunami planned by the Bush administration is probably only months away. In just 5 short years the national debt has increased by nearly 3 trillion dollars while the dollar has continued its predictable decline. The dollar has fallen a whopping 38% since Bush took office, due largely to the massive $450 billion per year tax cuts. At the same time, numerous laws have been passed (Patriot Act, Intelligence Reform Bill, Homeland Security Bill, National ID, Passport requirements etc) anticipating the need for greater repression when the economy takes its inevitable nosedive. Regrettably, that nosedive looks to be coming sooner rather than later.

The administration is currently putting as much pressure as possible on OPEC to ratchet up the flow of oil another 1 million barrels per day (well over capacity) to settle down nervous markets and buy time for the planned bombing of Iran in June. Like Fed Chief Alan Greenspan's artificially low interest rates, the manipulation of oil production is a way of concealing how dire the situation really is. Rising prices at the pump signal an upcoming recession, (depression?) so the administration is pulling out all the stops to meet the short term demand and maintain the illusion that things are still okay. (Bush would rather avoid massive popular unrest until his battle-plans for Iran are carried out)

But, of course, things are not okay. The country has been intentionally plundered and will eventually wind up in the hands of its creditors as Bush and his lieutenants planned from the very beginning. Those who don't believe this should note the methodical way that the deficits have been produced at (around) $450 billion per year; a systematic and orderly siphoning off of the nation's future. The value of the dollar and the increasing national debt follow exactly the same (deliberate) downward trajectory.

This same Ponzi scheme has been carried out repeatedly by the IMF and World Bank throughout the world; Argentina being the last dramatic illustration. (Argentina's economic collapse occurred when its trade deficit was running at 4%; right now ours is at an unprecedented 6%.) Bankruptcy is a fairly straight forward way of delivering valuable public assets and resources to collaborative industries, and of annihilating national sovereignty. After a nation is successfully driven to destitution, public policy decisions are made by creditors and not by representatives of the people. (Enter, Paul Wolfowitz)

Did Americans really believe they could avoid a similar fate?

If so, they'd better forget about it, because the hammer is about to come down big-time, and the collateral damage will be huge.

The Bush administration is mainly comprised of internationalists. That doesn't mean that they "hate America"; simply that they are committed to bringing America into line with the "new world order" and an economic regime that has been approved by corporate and financial elites alike. Their patriotism extends no further than the garish tri-colored flag on their lapel. The catastrophe that middle class Americans face is what these elites breezily refer to as "shock therapy"; a sudden jolt, followed by fundamental changes to the system. In the near future we can expect tax reform, fiscal discipline, deregulation, free capital flows, lowered tariffs, reduced public services, and privatization. In other words, a society entirely designed to service the needs of corporations.

There are a number of signs that the economy is close to meltdown-stage. Even with cheap energy, low interest rates and $450 billion in borrowed revenue pumped into the system each year, the economy is still barely treading water. This has a lot to due with the colossal shifting of wealth brought on by the tax cuts. Supply-side, trickle-down theories have been widely discredited and Bush's tax cuts have done nothing to stimulate the economy as promised. Now, with oil tilting towards $60 per barrel, the economic landscape is changing quickly, and shock-waves are already being felt throughout the country.

The Iraq war has contributed considerably to our current dilemma. The conflict has taken nearly one million barrels of Iraqi oil per day off line.(The exact amount that the administration is trying to replace by pressuring OPEC) In other words, the astronomical prices at the pump are the direct result of Bush's war. The media has failed to report on the negative affects the war has had on oil production, just as they have obscured the incredibly successful insurgent strategy of destroying pipelines. This isn't a storyline that plays well to the American public, who expected that Iraq would be paying for its own reconstruction by now. Instead, the resistance is striking back at the empire's Achilles heel (America's need for massive amounts of cheap oil) and its having a damaging affect on the US economy.

Just as the economy cannot float along with sharp increases in oil prices, so too, Bush's profligate deficits threaten the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. This is much more serious than a simple decline in the value of the dollar. If the major oil producers convert from the dollar to the euro, the American economy will sink almost overnight. If oil is traded in euros then central banks around the world would be compelled to follow and America will be required to pay off its enormous $8 trillion debt. That, of course, would be doomsday for the American economy. But, a recent report indicates that two-thirds of the world's 65 central banks have already "begun to move from dollars to euros." The Bush plan to savage the dollar has been telegraphed around the world and, as the New York Times says, "the greenback has nowhere to go but down". There's only one thing that the administration can do to ensure that energy dealers keep trading in dollars: control the flow of oil. That means that an attack on Iran is nearly a certainty.

The difficulties facing both the dollar and the economy are not insurmountable. The world has been more than willing to compensate for America's wasteful spending as long as America shows itself to be a responsible steward of the global economy. However, the administration's military and economic recklessness suggests that some of the key players on the world stage (particularly Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Germany, France, China, Brazil) are collaborating on an alternate plan; a contingency plan. If Iran is bombed in an unprovoked act of aggression, we will certainly see this plan activated. The most likely scenario would be a quick switch to the euro that would have grave implications for the American economy. (Russia has already indicated that it will do this) For Iran, an attack would justify arming disparate terrorist organizations with the weaponry they need to attack American and Israeli interests wherever they may be. In any event, an unprovoked attack will dispel the remaining illusions about Bush's war against terror and confirm to everyone that we are engaged in a new world war; a conflict for global domination.

The neoliberal chickens have come home to roost. America has become the latest staging ground for the eccentric economic policies of the Washington Consensus. The towering national debt coupled with the staggering trade deficits have put the nation on a precipice and a seismic shift in the fortunes of middle-class Americans is looking more likely all the time. The New York Times summarized the country's prospects like this:

"The economic repercussions could unfold gradually, resulting in a long, slow decline in living standards. Or there could be a quick unraveling, with the hallmarks of an uncontrolled fiscal crisis."

"An uncontrolled fiscal crisis"... America's future under George Bush. We are facing years of collective struggle ahead. If there's a quick fix, I have no idea what it might be.

The higher echelons of world Jewry are aware and alert to America's desolate financial situation. America has been ravaged by avaricious globalists, therefore the country's collapse seems to be imminent. The ailing America gets closer and closer to the abyss.

Jewry is divided. The Zionists, still the most influential faction, are holding on tight to Israel and hope to ethnically cleanse the rest of Palestine from the Palestinians. But many Jewish leaders know that Israel will cease to exist anyway. Considering that America and Israel are going to collapse just as the Soviet Union collapsed, the leading Jews probably are contemplating where to look for a new power base. No doubt, It will be be Germany, the future centre of a new Europe, controlled by Jewish power centres.

These omnipotent globalists obviously anticipating the need for greater repression when the economy takes its inevitable nose-dive in America, Germany and all of Europe. Therefore the new "European-Warrant" was introduced and a so-called "anti-discrimination" bill will soon be passed in the German "Bundestag". Both laws are meant to outlaw and detain any person at any time when it becomes necessary.

The new Orwellian rulers are going to run the new Europe in a way that compares Bolshevism to a kind of loveable fairytale.

After all, Lionel de Rothschild demanded on October 22, 1939 from Churchill's secretary, John Colville, to define the following war aim against Germany: "Germany must be handed over to Jewry and the Germans shall be scattered amongst the peoples of the world." (John Colville. "Downing Street, Diaries 1939-1945", Siedler Publishers, Berlin 1988, p. 31)

Maybe the Nets didn't land Carmelo Anthony, but they found a way to gain attention and significance last night.
Reality TV stars Kim Kardashian and Snooki met and chatted after the third quarter in full view of a slew of photographers and the remaining 14,051 gawkers in the stands that again included Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov.
Sources later confirmed there was stuff also happening on the court where the Nets' bid for not only significance but their first 3-game winning streak in two years fell just short because Dirk Nowitzki, frigid all game, got a bounce and a roll on his 7-footer with six seconds left as the Mavs, though tested for 48 minutes, outlasted the Nets, 87-86.
"I can't jump that high, but I wanted to take a broomstick and punch it out," coach Avery Johnson joked about the tantalizing end to Nowitzki's winner.
And if that shot by Nowitzki (23 points) tantalized, the next sequence tortured. The Nets (12-32) wanted to run a play for Brook Lopez (24 points). It was to be delivered by Devin Harris (15 points, 11 assists).
It wound up going to Jordan Farmar, who hurled a desperation heave at the buzzer that was wide and short. Give him credit for even getting it off.
"I sort of short-hopped it and just shot," Farmar said.
"Saw a couple of things. They switched the pick and roll. I had Brook open but couldn't get him the ball clean. I tried my outlet with Jordan and the shot was left, a little short," said Harris, who on the previous possession — with the Nets up, 86-85 — missed a 13-footer with Shawn Marion defending.
The Nets, who on three occasions trailed by seven in the fourth quarter, twice grabbed the lead in the end game. At 2:35, Sasha Vujacic bagged a left corner 3-pointer for an 83-82 lead. After J.J. Barea scored for the Mavs, Lopez made two free throws for an 85-84 lead that Harris upped to 86-84 with 1-of-2 free throws, a feat Tyson Chandler (19 points) duplicated at :35.2 to make it a one-point spread. Harris misfired, DeShawn Stevenson rebounded for Dallas at :20.1 and Nowitzki had one last shot in the tank.
"It's difficult. We fought all four quarters, they made their runs, we made ours. Dirk hit a tough shot," said Lopez.
Even with Nowitzki's points rising despite an Arctic shooting touch, the Mavs could not shake the Nets and the third quarter ended tied at 68 as a prelude to Kim and Snooki doing their version of the Yalta Conference amid the Nets continuing to look at ease after recent history that had been, in a word, unsettling. Every day, there were rumors regarding Anthony and more than half of the Nets roster. Every day, there were questions. No day saw a reprieve.
"I haven't talked to 'Melo. That's the NBA, there's going to be trades, there's going to be superstars traded," said one-time Nets savior Jason Kidd (five points, eight assists). "But I haven't paid too much attention."
Well, that makes one. Everyone, including the Nets involved, seemed fixated on the daily doings on the Anthony trade front. It was so bad, that Prokhorov, who flew in to douse the rumor fires Wednesday, told a Russian media outlet that the Nets "clearly gave up three-to-five games."
But the Nets won both games after their owner's nyet and again looked energized and purposeful. Had upper management known, maybe Prokhorov would have gassed all the trade speculation months ago.
"I know it cost us at least two weeks for sure just in terms of focus and game preparation. I was watching them before the games. We tried to mask it, we tried to camouflage it but it wasn't pretty," said Johnson.

Teacher Luke: Hello Dear Listeners, I've been a little bit quiet recently but I'm still here.
This episode is a chance to explain what's been going on recently, and to answer some of your questions and comments from Facebook and Twitter.
Yesterday I devoted over an hour to recording an episode only to be let down by my recording device which ran out of memory space. It was very annoying indeed because I lost all the work that I had done on that recording. I've since learned the importance of regularly backing up your work on an external memory card or alternatively "backing up into the cloud".
I hope you enjoy the episode and more episodes will follow before long, including the continuation of my series on The A – Z of British Slang.

The Eastleigh by-election is a must-win for the Liberal Democrats- that is a given.
The party has a lock on the council, and a loss here would be devastating for internal morale and for the public perception that the party can ride out its current unpopularity in the opinion polls and survive, and even thrive at the next general election.
Yet, from overseas, while I see the energy and commitment that the party is putting into the by-election, I am filled with foreboding, for this energy masks an a profound, even existential, crisis. The fact is that the burden of the by-election is falling on fewer and fewer members- I have received at least ten contacts over the past week urging me to donate, go and campaign, work on phone banks and all the other sundry by-election work. Even to a committed political, social and economic Liberal like myself it is intrusive. To the voters in the constituency it must be unbearable.
To be honest, for the first time, I am genuinely irritated with the party leadership- both the executive and the Parliamentary leaders seem to be competing with Labour and the Conservatives to be the most reductionist. The gall of Labour, having trashed our ideas and philosophy for years now seeking to adopt a policy platform comprising several key Lib Dem policies is political transvestism at its most cynical. Yet the Liberal Democrats, still, apparently the ideas power-house of British politics, seem ever less involved with philosophical debates and ever more with the mechanics of power and the tactics of politics. OK, I'll admit I expected that entering government would increase the significance of tactical position taking. What I was not prepared for was the wholesale abandonment of our Liberal culture of political debate. We are being reduced to foot soldiers in a party, whose leadership equates debate with dissent. In short, the party is in danger of losing its very ethos, indeed, its very soul.
I have watched over the past two years as first the Socialist-lite faction abandoned the party, and I was not so concerned about that- the keepers of the Liberal flame were always nervous of collective solutions, even as we embraced- indeed embodied- radicalism and anti-establishment ideas. Then I watched the self-declared Green Democrats gradually peel away. Then, and most grievously, I watched self-declared "Social Liberals", like James Graham, back away from the coalition. In the end much of the core membership has remained, but close to the Parliamentary party I see too many fresh-faced cynics in cheap suits. The synthetic cheap thrills of proximity to power seem to have trumped the intellectual tension that led so-called social Liberals and so-called economic Liberals to work together to craft intelligent and intellectually honest policy. Now, the membership is being used simply to support the mechanics of political tacticians- it is altogether cut out from policy.
Some would say that this is a result of the inevitable new disciplines of being in a coalition government. I say it is selling out the proud radical dissenting Liberal tradition for a mess of pottage.
I am not interested in whether the personality of Nick Clegg- or any other politician, however Liberal- achieves his personal political ambitions. I'm interested in the promotion of a radical Liberal political agenda, built around an open appraisal of our country's needs and and honest presentation - including admitting drawbacks- to our country's voters.
Ed Miliband is a pusillanimous pustule of a professional politician. His whole career has been marked by the ceaseless striving for position on the greasy pole of left-wing cant. It would be a tragedy if the voters can not determine the difference between the cynical reductionism of the failed Socialist agenda- which even Labour has all but abandoned- and the intellectually robust radical agenda of modern Liberalism. Yet, to be honest, even I find it difficult to tell one set of populist sloganeering from another, and not just because Labour are seeking to steal the Liberal Democrats' political clothes.
The executive and the leadership of the Liberal Democrats - even if Eastleigh is held- need to be called to account. The fact is that the tactics for this by-election have brought out my deepest fears for the future. In seeking victory, the leadership has continued to choke-off the very core what our party stands for- the right to publicly dissent. Rightly, the British electorate can smell a rat- and that is- in my view- a significant contributor to our current dire position in the polls. If Eastleigh is lost, then the party leadership- indeed the party itself- will be in the last chance saloon. Even if it is held, there is no doubt that the ties of friendship and loyalty that have kept so many of us on the Liberal road have been tested to the limit. If the next conference is another stage-managed love-fest of the Parliamentary party, as it is in the other two parties, then do not be surprised if the Radical Liberals are the next, and final, group to grow disenchanted, even with the Liberal Democrats- the party that was supposed to challenge and renew the moribund, broken British political system.
After 35 years of campaigning.
After thousands of Pounds donated.
After hopes raised by great victories and defeats mourned.
After decades of friendship
I can not watch the great Liberal ideology, which I have been proud to support all my adult life, reduced to a hobby-horse for the politically ambitious but personally inadequate. I will be going to conference in the Autumn with fire in my heart. The political bromides offered up by Labour and Conservative must be challenged and defeated and the political life of our country remade- and if Liberal Democrats lose sight of this great task- what hope is there for the economic, social or political future of our country?
Eastleigh- win our lose- must be where the party rediscovers its political soul.

Earlier we reported that a fight broke out during the funeral of veteran comedian Ricky Harris. At the time it was unclear to what happened but now we have footage of the unfortunate event. TMZ got their hands of the footage which according to reports involved Snoop Doggs' Bodyguard and a cousin of Harris.
The guy who tried to fight Snoop Dogg during actor and comedian Ricky Harris' funeral was an upset relative, but several fists stopped him from getting to Snoop. Multiple sources inside the Long Beach church tell us it was one of Ricky's cousins who stepped to Snoop and called him a "bitch ass n****." We're told 2 members of Snoop's crew — Daz Dillinger and another dude — stepped up, took down the cousin … and all hell broke loose. Snoop's bodyguard eventually dragged the guy out of the church.

All Berkeley Unified School District elementary schools provide a rich variety of visual and performing arts experiences for Kindergarten through fifth grade students. Students continue to develop artistic skills in middle school arts electives and after school classes. Berkeley High School offers a broad range of arts classes including Ceramics, Photography, Computer Art, AP Studio Art, Afro-Haitian Dance, Modern Dance, Drama, Advanced Theater Projects, Band, Orchestra, Jazz Band, Guitar, Chorus and AP Music Theory. One year of high school visual or performing arts is required by the UC and CSU systems.
Thank you to the voters of Berkeley for funding the Berkeley Schools Excellence Program and and the BUSD arts programs. BSEP provides $1.5 million annually to fund nearly all elementary and middle school music programs, as well as other visual and performing arts.
We also thank the Berkeley Public Education Foundation, the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, Cazadero Performing Arts Camp and Cal Performances at Zellerbach Hall, UC Berkeley for their continuing support along with the UC Berkeley students who tutor music students in the schools through The Music Connection (TMC).
Berkeley Schools TK-12 Music Program
TK – Second Grade: Several schools provide weekly music classes with instruction in singing, rhythm, composition and playing pitched percussion instruments.
Third Grade: All BUSD third grade students attend weekly music classes. The curriculum is based on Orff-Schulwerk methodology which includes singing, movement, rhythm, solfege, note reading, recorders and pitched percussion instruments. At the end of the school year, band and orchestra instruments are demonstrated in preparation for beginning instrumental music in fourth grade. Recorders are $5.00.
Fourth and Fifth Grades: After an extended period of sampling among violins, violas, flutes, clarinets, trumpets, trombones, percussion, ukulele, guitar and chorus, fourth graders choose chorus or the instrument they wish to study. Fifth graders continue with chorus or the instrument studied in fourth grade. Classes are held twice a week during the school day. Both grades perform at school concerts. Fifth graders have the opportunity of participating in the Performing Arts Showcase in March and attending the Jumpstart Retreat for fifth graders at Cazadero Performing Arts Camp in May.
District Music Calendar 2014-15
Sixth Grade: The three BUSD middle schools have sixth grade bands open to all brass, wind and percussion students and 6-8 Orchestras open to all strings players. Middle school music classes, including chorus (at King) meet before school, zero period. The combined sixth grade bands play The Star Spangled Banner at the opening of a Giants game in May.
Seventh and Eighth Grades: 7-8 Bands, 6-8 Orchestra, Chorus at King, and Modern Music at Longfellow meet zero period offering students moderately challenging compositions and ensemble skill development. After school music classes including Jazz Band and Modern Music at King, Jazz Band at Willard and Jazz Band at Longfellow are open to 6th-8th graders. At middle school, evening concerts are scheduled during the school year and ensembles participate in the Performing Arts Showcase in March of each year. Some bands and orchestras compete in regional music festivals. There is a Jumpstart Retreat at Cazadero Performing Arts Camp for eighth graders in October.
Information for elementary and middle school families.
Berkeley High School: 9-12 graders may choose from the following Music electives: Chamber Orchestra, Concert Orchestra, Concert Band, Pep Band, Lab Band I, Lab Band II, Jazz Ensemble, Guitar, Chorus and AP Music Theory. The ensembles hold regular evening concerts and participate in the Performing Arts Show case and competitive festivals in the Bay Area and beyond.
Information on the award-winning Berkeley High Jazz program can be found here. A strongly articulated music program from grades three through twelve encourages and supports students to achieve at the highest levels. In late April, 2013 150 musicians from BHS performed in four groups at the California Music Educators Association (CMEA) Band and Orchestra festival. This is the first time ever that four BHS groups have performed at a CMEA festival, and all came out winners. Chamber Strings earned highest marks from all the judges: a Unanimous Superior. Chamber Winds earned three Superiors and one Excellent. Concert Band earned three Excellents and one Superior. Concert Orchestra earned four Excellents. Bands, chorus and orchestras from the three Berkeley middle schools also participated in the 2013 CMEA Festival, with ratings given from Excellent to Superior. In the spring of 2013, just two days after winning the combo division at the Reno Jazz Festival, and a month after winning the same division at the prestigious Monterey NextGen Jazz Festival, Berkeley High's Combo A was named as the High School Combo of the Year by Downbeat Magazine. This is the number one jazz trade magazine in the US. The BHS students outplayed groups from across the nation. This is the second year in a row that BHS's Jazz Combo A has won both the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Downbeat Magazine Award.
BUSD California Standards-Based Music Program: Music is an integral part of human experience. Used in celebrations, rituals and everyday life, it expresses the heights and depths of human feelings and emotions, the joys and the sorrow encountered by all. Significantly, the study of music combines human emotional experience and intellectual cognition. Music teachers follow the California Standards in Music when developing curriculum and assessments.
One of the greatest values of a comprehensive music program is that it allows all students to develop fully those qualities that will help them understand and enjoy life. It provides a means for creativity and self-expression. Through music they learn that their thoughts and feelings can be communicated non-verbally by composing and improvising music using higher-order thinking processes, such as those involved in skill mastery, analysis and synthesis.
Benefits of Studying Music
Berkeley Unified school District was recently recognized by the NAMM Foundation (National Association of Music Manufacturers) as one of the Best Communities for Music Education 2014. Best Communities for Music Education honors school districts that have demonstrated exceptional efforts toward maintaining music education as part of the schools' core curriculum. Berkeley is one of only 10 districts in California named among the 320 districts nation-wide to receive the distinction this year. A NAMM-funded Cost of Music Education study found that an average district spends $187 per student per year for a comprehensive K–12 music education program. BUSD actually invests close to $330 per student per year.
Much research has been compiled linking success in school to a music education. Please refer to the following links to read about the studies and findings:
http://www.vh1save the music.com/benefits
Performances: In addition to school concerts and the annual spring Performing Arts Showcase, the elementary schools participate in the Music Education Program with the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra. All K-5 students attend a Meet the Symphony concert in November, BSO musicians visit classrooms with their instruments and in February students from six schools play with the BSO at the I Am a Performer Concert. Parents are welcome to attend.

If you have an instrument in playable shape you would like to donate to the program, contact the Music Office at 644-8831. You will receive a letter from the BUSD Board for your income tax files.
Visual Arts K-12
Students are encouraged to express their knowledge, ideas and creativity through all forms of visual art, including drawing, painting, photography and three dimensional arts. Elementary classroom teachers encourage skill building and several schools have a credentialed art teacher or teaching artist on staff who guides students through standards based projects on a weekly basis. Some after school programs include visual art classes.
Each middle school offers standards-based visual art courses as electives during the school day. Students build on skills learned at the elementary grades when exploring portraiture, color, design, still life drawing, print-making and ceramics. Elementary and middle school art is always on exhibit at the schools. Every odd year the Berkeley Art Center hosts a district-wide visual art show grades K-8 where student work from each school is on display. The next K-8 exhibit at the Berkeley Art Center will be February 14 – March 22, 2015; reception on February 18.
Berkeley High School offers a very extensive selection of Arts courses including drawing and painting, several levels of black and white (darkroom) and digital photography, various levels of ceramics, print-making, sculpture and AP Studio Art. In addition to in-school gallery exhibits, BHS student work is shown each spring at the KALA Gallery in Berkeley. The Arts and Humanities Academy, one of the small schools at Berkeley High School, provides the opportunity for students to learn in core subject areas through various art forms while personally developing artistically. http://aha.bhs.berkeleypta.org/
Dance K-12
Dance is a regular elective at several elementary schools as well as the middle schools. Dance is also a popular choice among the classes offered in the after school programs K-8. The high school offers classes in Afro-Haitian, Modern and Hip-Hop. Advanced students present a show of their own choreographed pieces in the spring.
BHS Performing Arts Calendar_2014 -2015
Drama K-12
Drama is integrated into the elementary curriculum at several schools and plays are staged each school year. The middle schools have vibrant theater programs, presenting two or more plays, some student written. Some middle school productions are a collaboration between the drama, dance and music departments. There are levels of high school theater classes for the beginning through advanced student. Both plays and musicals are staged along with student written and produced drama.
Arts on the Run
Each January, three busloads of Berkeley High School students representing the Dance, Drama and Music Departments travel to all three middle schools for a one hour performance. Designed to present the eighth graders (who will be entering BHS in the fall) with the variety of artist involvement available at BHS, Arts on the Run MCs encourage students to not only be open to the many options for artistic expression at the high school, but also share the pride and sense of family students find when they become a member of a performing arts group at Berkeley High.
In addition to the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra and Cazadero Performing Arts Camp, BUSD has a partnership with Cal Performances at Zellerbach Hall through the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Partners in Education Program. A Partners team since 2001, Cal Performances and BUSD annually present workshops for teachers as preparation for SchoolTime performances at Zellerbach Hall. Teachers attend a three hour workshop lead by a teaching artist whose expertise is close to the art form their students will see on stage. The teaching artist visits the teachers' classrooms with information and hands on experiences before the students see the live performance. More information.
The Berkeley Symphony Orchestra Music in the Schools program provides Meet the Symphony concerts at each elementary school in November. Centered on a theme such as rhythm, the instrument families in the orchestra or the science of sound, the concerts feature student friendly pieces. Musicians visit each K-5 classroom for a demonstration and personal interaction. In February students K-5 join the Symphony for the I Am a Performer concert; all students sing or play with the Symphony. Young musicians have the incredible experience of playing with professional musicians under the direction of Ming Luke, a gifted conductor. http://www.berkeleysymphony.
Cazadero Performing Arts Camp: A longtime partner with the Berkeley school music program, Cazadero is often students first opportunity to attend sleep-away music camp. Two Jumpstart weekends – eighth graders in the fall and fifth graders in the spring – provide dedicated rehearsal time with district music staff and high school mentors. Students work on new music and prepare a concert for parents while meeting musicians from other Berkeley schools who will be in their ensembles at the next school level. http://cazadero.org/music-camp/
City of Berkeley Parks and Rec Department Summer Camps: in partnership with the City of Berkeley recreation department, BUSD teachers offer four music day camps for students grades 5-10 on June 15-19, 2015. Registration and information is at the following link: http://ci.berkeley.ca.us/activity_guide/
The Music Connection (TMC) is a UC Berkeley student run club which brings volunteer tutors into music classes grades 4-8. In addition TMC has set up an after school enrichment program as nearly all of the K-5 and Middle Schools. A team of tutors arrives at a school once a week for individual lessons, small ensemble work and music theory instruction. The TMC students also arrange College Music Days so that middle school and fifth grade students can experience rehearsing with a college band, string ensemble or chorus. Music is carefully selected so that students feel comfortable playing next to older students.
BAESC – Berkeley Arts Education Steering Committee
Begun in 1998 by Berkeley Reparatory Theater Managing Director Susan Medak, BASEC is a collaboration between local arts organizations, parents, teachers and administrators. The goal is to bring a variety of strong arts programming to students in the Berkeley schools. In the early days of the committee members lobbied the Berkeley School Board successfully to adopt the California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards. Reinvigorated after extensive surveys of arts offerings in the schools and parent and teacher feedback on the value of arts and creativity in the school day, BAESC will begin strategizing ways to ensure that all students in Berkeley schools regularly participate in the Arts. To receive BAESC meeting notices, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Professional Development – Arts Anchor Schools
A collaboration with the Alameda County Office of Education Alliance for Arts Learning Leadership and Berkeley Unified School District, the Arts Anchor Schools Project provides funding for schools to pursue professional development in arts integration techniques and strategies. A team of classroom teachers identifies a focus for arts integrated curriculum development and writes a proposal for their professional development work for the school year. Designed to be teacher led, Arts Anchor projects bring personal and teaching skills to teachers through modeling and coaching. While teams at several schools have identified an arts teacher on staff who can lead curriculum development and provide lesson modeling and coaching when the classroom teacher is teaching arts integrated lessons, other schools have found it beneficial to hire a teaching artist or arts organization such as the Museum of Children's Art (MOCHA) or Visual Thinking Strategies in Education (VTS).
Currently three elementary schools are focused on dance integration while teachers at four schools are becoming more skilled at integrating visual arts. In all cases learning in the art form is occurring along with learning in the other core curricular area (social studies, math, and language arts). One middle school is working with a teaching artist from VTS. Students are learning to observe works of art and discuss what they see, backing up their ideas with evidence. Such close observation of details is a springboard for writing.

There is no one Civil War flag. The Union flag of the United States did not change during the Civil War since the Union never recognized the rights of the states to secede. The states that seceded from the Union joined the Confederate States of America, which had adopted its own flag. Both flags accompanied various regiments and units into battle, often with flags representing individual units.Continue Reading
The flag usually associated with the Confederacy is actually a regiment battle flag. The official flag of the Confederacy initially bore a close resemblance to the Union flag and underwent several revisions before the war ended.
Flags are a necessity of every nation. They identify the nation as a sovereign entity and embody the nation's history, people and beliefs. They also serve as a source of national identity, patriotism and pride among citizens, as well as identifying official government institutions and territory claimed by a nation.
During war, flags become more important. They serve as a rallying point for troops and as a source of morale and inspiration. Amid the smoke and confusion of the battlefield, they help troops maintain organization, stay in formation, focus attacks and avoid firing upon friendly targets. They also identify troops as belonging to a particular side and help personnel who become separated or disoriented to avoid capture and locate their units. Flags can also communicate messages to other units and to commanders.
Flags also allow commanders to assess progress, execute plans or revise strategies, observe troop movements, and coordinate, reinforce and direct units. They also mark the end of the battle and indicate when a unit reaches a particular location, takes a position or claims a territory.Learn more about US History

Our # XMCMT020424, Choate Machine Tool 9 Shot Magazine Extension for Mossberg 12 gauge Pump or Auto Models 835 Only NIB with Clamp Blue Steel / This listing is for One Barrel and One Magazine Tube Extension Kit with clamp; Buyers, however, may take any number of additional kits we have on hand at the same per-kit price, and with no additional shipping charges. When the Mossberg Model 835 pump gun made its debut in our little store some 25 years ago, we noticed immediately the differences between it and the venerable Model 500. The biggest thing to us was, that it had a magazine cap a lot like a Remington 870, where the 500 did not. That configuration naturally called for a tube extension with a 24 inch barreled model 835, a configuration that our Tennessippi Turkey and Buckshot wielding Deer Hunters all learned to respect and then to love. This setup includes a Mossberg Factory 24 inch Blue Steel Barrel for the model 835, with factory Williams sights and 16 ports that help deaden both downrange noise and felt recoil. Mossberg factory number is 90800. This barrel has a uniform .727 diameter smooth bore, and the factory advertises it as a Slugster. Folk had best not try slugs in other 835 barrels, only this variant. Our Mississippi neighbors, who can legally deer hunt with Buckshot, love the Barrel and the Choate extension kit we are furnishing with it. Manufacturer on the extension kit is our old friends in Arkansas, Choate Machine Tool. Choate's manufacturing experience outdates their competitors by at least a decade; these folks have been around a long time. Construction is all matte blue steel tube and swivel clamp, with black polymer tube end. The folks from Bald Knob even include a high visibility orange replacement shell follower and extended steel spring. Where a standard model 835 Pump Mossberg holds 4 each 2 3/4 inch shells in its factory magazine tube, attaching one of these ups that capacity to 8 in the pipe, yielding an 8+1 capacity on 2 3/4 inch shells. For 3 inch shells, make that 7+1; and on 3 1/2 inch shells, 6 + 1. The +1 means one in the chamber. With steel shot, then, the equivalent firepower on 3 1/2 inch shells is similar to 900 rounds of .22 caliber projectiles with a fully loaded shotgun; and about 500 round equivalent of #4 Buck, about .22 caliber, with lead loads. This apparatus will only fit Mossberg Models 835. Threads will match on some variants of the 590, but since the 590's barrels are never 24 inches, this setup wouldn't match the barrel length. It will not work on a 935; will certainly not work on a 500; will not work on a Remington; will not work on the door handle of a 1937 Dodge Blue Bird School bus. It will only work on a Mossberg 835 shotgun with 24 inch or longer barrel. Replacement pricing on this package is upwards of $400 in our neighborhood, and nobody keeps them but us. We're offering the Mossberg 90800 Barrel and Choate 835 kit in the photos, or their identical mates, all for only $ 239.00. Not for sale to residents of New York City.

Hazard Prevention
Many hazards can be prevented. Workplace accidents are a good example. A comprehensive accident prevention program can reduce the frequency of accidents dramatically. Most fires can be prevented. Spills of hazardous chemicals can be avoided. Home accidents and falls can be prevented just by not letting stuff get in the way of your walking paths. For more information visit
Risk Mitigation
Natural hazards have been the cause of the vast majority of Federal Disaster Declarations. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes and other natural hazards cannot be prevented. Some technological hazards such as a regional power outages cannot be prevented. Accidents that were not prevented and intentional acts that were not deterred can result in property damage and business disruptions. For those hazards that cannot be prevented, there are still many opportunities to reduce the potential impacts on life, property, business operations and the environment. For more information visit

Conservative activists and talking heads, taking their cue from Herman Cain's campaign, are dismissing the revelation in Politico that Cain was accused of sexual harassment by two employees when he was president of the National Restaurant Association. Politico gave Cain ten days to respond to queries to their detailed and thoroughly reported article, and he provided only inscrutable answers that verged on an admission:
In a series of comments over the past 10 days, Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly about whether he ever faced allegations of sexual harassment at the restaurant association. They have also declined to address questions about specific reporting confirming that there were financial settlements in two cases in which women leveled complaints…. Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon told POLITICO the candidate indicated to campaign officials that he was "vaguely familiar" with the charges and that the restaurant association's general counsel had resolved the matter.
Rather than furnish a compelling argument for himself in the Politico story, since Cain didn't have one to make, he waited for the piece to come out, then went after them with name-calling. As CNN reported, "A statement from Cain's campaign vice president J.D. Gordon did not directly address the allegations and called the report a sign the media 'have begun to launch unsubstantiated personal attacks on Cain…. Since Washington establishment critics haven't had much luck in attacking Mr. Cain's ideas to fix a bad economy and create jobs, they are trying to attack him in any way they can." (Coincidentally, Gordon himself sent a public letter in 2009 accusing a Miami Herald reporter of sexual harassment.)
Anyone with half a brain can see this for the dishonest misdirection it is. A report on an unflattering aspect of your personal history is not an "attack." Nor does Politico count as one of Cain's "critics." Politico is a straight newspaper, not a journal of opinion. (Disclosure: I worked there for a year, so I speak from experience.) The article did not attack or criticize Cain. It did not say, "You should not vote for Herman Cain," or "Herman Cain would make a bad president," or even "Herman Cain may be a bad boss for women." It made no value judgments of any kind. It simply reported the facts.
But most conservative media blowhards are echoing Cain's talking points. As partisan hacks who prize their side's victory over truth, they are completely incapable of recognizing that Politico has no anti-Cain agenda. As far as most conservatives are concerned, if a newspaper runs a story that reflects poorly on Cain, it might as well be a Democratic press release.

I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe earlier, because I literally make kale chips at least 3 times a week. We can't get enough of it here. Even our 10-month old daughter loves crispy kale chips!
We have three varieties of kale in the garden this year:
- Rainbow Dinosaur kale (Urban Harvest)
- Vates Blues Curled kale (Urban Harvest)
- Red Russian kale (Ferme Tourne-Sol)
The Vates Blue Curled has proven to be a wonderful, robust variety for cooking with. The curly leaves hold their integrity much better than the other two when cooking. The Red Russian has produced very well; with its flat broad-leaves, this one is nice to harvest young to add to salads.
Kale is so wonderfully good for you – high in B vitamins, antioxidants, iron, calcium, fibre, omega 3s. just to name a few of the many benefits of eating this "queen of greens." It is delicious sauteed with a little garlic to go with your morning eggs, blended into smoothies, cooked into omelettes, chopped into salads and baked with other veggies. But in my opinion, there is no better way to eat it than to turn it onto crispy kale chips… on the BBQ!
Yep, you read correctly, I make these on the que. In the hot summer months, who wants to turn their oven on?
Here's what you need to make the basic version of BBQed kale chips:
- A few nice mitt-fulls of fresh kale (curled variety preferred)
- A couple table spoons Olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- A few tablespoons of Nutritional yeast.(Nutritional yeast is high in B vitamins, protein and iron! It is low sodium and gives things a nutty delicious flavour… amazing addition to salad dressings! I buy it at Herb and Spice.)
- Handful of pine nuts, if desired.
Here's how to do it:
- Wash your kale if necessary (and dry thoroughly!) and tear into large pieces (I usually just tear leaves in 2 or 3)
- Toss kale in olive oil, coating well.
- Toss in the nutritional yeast and sea salt (and pine nuts, if using.) I never measure this stuff… it's all about experimenting with quantities o see what you like.
- Spread out the kale on a baking sheet.
- Place on a BBQ on low heat.
- "Bake" 5-10 minutes, turning frequently! Kale will burn VERY quickly if you don't keep a close eye on it.
- Chips are done when kale is crispy but not dried out or overly browned.
- Serve immediately, as an appetizer or snack. I find these are perfect to serve as a nibbly when you're barbequing other things.
Try experimenting with all sorts of seasonings. Another blend we really like uses sesame oil, sesame seeds and a dash of tamari… go nuts! There really is no wrong way to do kale chips. Drooool.

Lord Stanley of Alderley: My Lords, those of your Lordships who were present at Report stage when my noble friend Lord Ferrers gave the Government's reason for not accepting a somewhat similar amendment will, I am sure, agree that he gave one of the best and indeed most amusing performances that I have ever heard from him. He has quite a record of doing that and of getting the Government out of difficulty by using his charming manner. Unfortunately the answer he gave lacked a certain logic. Indeed, in relation to the previous amendment regarding the Scotland legislation to which he replied at that stage, he was completely caught out. I tried to tell him about that before he came into the Chamber, but unfortunately I did not see him.
Some less charitable than I might say that on the previous occasion when we discussed this matter my noble friend was struggling through a nonsensical government brief. He intimated, for instance, that there was no difference between an affirmative resolution and a negative resolution because they could both be debated. I do not think that is quite the case as regards the House of Commons. Here, it is a question of persuading the Whips to give time for that. Sometimes the Whips are not always keen to do that and can be awkward. My noble friend also said that more parliamentary time would be taken up--as the noble Lord, Lord Carter, said--by an affirmative order than by a negative order. I do not follow that argument. Either it implies a refusal by the Whips to give time to pray against a negative order, or it goes against what my noble friend Lord Mackay said in Committee; namely, that such an order would be rare indeed.
Therefore I hope your Lordships will agree that my noble friend's argument so far has much charm but little substance. As the noble Lord, Lord Carter, said, my
Earl Ferrers: My Lords, my noble friend commenced his remarks with deep flattery when he said that he thought I had made such an amusing speech that I had dug the Government out of a hole. All I can say, with equal flattery, is that I have never heard such rubbish in all my life from my noble friend, and that is saying quite a lot.
Earl Ferrers: My Lords, my noble friend talks a lot of good sense too, but the important thing is to make sure that good sense overtakes what is not good sense. On this occasion my noble friend has slipped below his normal standard. I wondered whether the noble Lord, Lord Carter, had spoken to his noble friend Lord Williams. Perhaps he has not done so. Perhaps he was not present when his noble friend Lord Williams said this afternoon that we should not discuss again that which has already been discussed. We are doing precisely that. At the instigation of the noble Lord, Lord Carter, we discussed this matter on a previous occasion. However, he has tabled a virtually identical amendment today.
The noble Lord, Lord Carter, does not want me to say that there will be no parliamentary time to discuss the measure. He is saying that he does not want me to use that argument as regards an affirmative resolution procedure. I return to the same argument as I used on the previous occasion when we discussed this matter. There are many occasions when there are affirmative resolutions and many occasions when there are negative resolutions. Almost certainly, on every occasion when these measures arise, someone pops up--it does not matter what Bill it is--and says, "Oh, this is subject to a negative resolution but it ought to be subject to an affirmative resolution; otherwise people will not have the time to discuss things".
If I may say so, that is an old chestnut. There are some matters which are of considerable concern and which should be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure. However, there are some matters which are subject to the negative resolution procedure. What that means is that the order has to be laid and one has to wait for 40 days, within which time a person can pray against it. This is exactly the kind of occasion where I would suggest that the negative resolution procedure is the best way to proceed.
If we did not have the negative resolution procedure, we would find that your Lordships' time and that of another place was taken up in considering and talking about a whole lot of orders which were subject to the affirmative rather than to the negative resolution procedure. The noble Lord, Lord Carter, may say, "Do not give me that line today". However, that is exactly the line that I am giving him. Certain matters ought to be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure and others ought to be subject to the negative resolution procedure.
My noble friend said that he wanted to know what was meant by hybridity. I do not know whether he asked the Clerk of the Parliaments about that or whether it was the staff in the Parliament Office. I believe he said that he could not understand a word of the explanation. I am not surprised. Sometimes these matters are difficult to absorb. If my noble friend cannot understand an explanation given on hybridity by officials of the House, I do not think I am the right person to try to lecture him about it. I suggest that he has another go. Hybridity arises on affirmative orders but not on negative orders. Both the noble Lord, Lord Carter, and my noble friend tried to make that a cause of ribaldry. However, the risk of hybridity can arise on rural orders because they remove a rural exemption. That could be seen as affecting adversely individual interests rather than only classes of interest. For example, one might remove a rural exclusion for a parish and that might be seen adversely to affect the individual interests of the one or two landlord associations working in that area. That is how the element of hybridity arises.
I believe that the amendment is unnecessary and undesirable. There is a perfectly good negative resolution procedure. My noble friend Lord Stanley of Alderley was correct to say that the provision will not arise all that often. If he keeps his eyes open--I am not suggesting that he is falling asleep; I mean he should keep his eyes open with regard to what is on the Order Paper--and if those who advise him do that, he will know in plenty of time whether there is anything which Parliament ought to discuss. Frankly, I do not think there will be many matters which Parliament ought to discuss as regards these orders. However, if there is anything to discuss, there will be an opportunity to discuss it.
Lord Carter: My Lords, I am extremely grateful to the noble Earl for those comments. Those of us who have lived and worked in the countryside for a long time have seen a number of examples of rural hybridity. I am not attempting to deny the possibility of hybridity. However, it is interesting that the noble Earl did not attempt to deal with the point that I made. I am told that since 1983 the Government have been continually dehybridising affirmative resolution procedure orders. Apparently it is an acknowledged technique. All I am suggesting is that if they are concerned about hybridity--they are entitled to be concerned--there is an easy way to deal with it which is standard procedure; namely to introduce an amendment in the other place which would remove the risk of hybridity.
The noble Earl was being, for him, a little unfair when he said that I was reintroducing an argument that we had discussed at Report stage. The Companion to the Standing Orders states:
We hear the argument about parliamentary time on every Bill. We hear the arguments about the affirmative and the negative procedures. In the Government's own words this procedure will be used only rarely. If one is to change a designation, as well as consultation with all the interested parties, which the Government have accepted--they introduced their own amendment on that, although they did not accept the point about having regard to certain views--we feel it is important that the orders should be discussed by both Houses. I am afraid that the noble Earl has not really answered the point that I made. Therefore I should like to take the opinion of the House.
On Question, Whether the said amendment (No. 6) shall be agreed to?
Their Lordships divided: Contents, 120; Not-Contents, 145.
Resolved in the negative, and amendment disagreed to accordingly.
4.8 p.m.
Clause 42 [Moratorium on disposal of land, &c.]:

Rebozo #857Posted by admin in HOLD, Rebozo
Wonderfully woven daily-use rebozo or shawl. This heavy duty but striking rebozo would be worn over the shoulders, folded and placed on top of the head, or used to carry a baby. This rebozo measures 67″ in length, not including the approximately 5.5″ of fringe along each end, and 24″ in width.
This classic shawl is woven with soft colored stripes including the predominant purple, green, and yellow alternating with ikat stripes. There is some use of metallic threads in the stripes. The fringe creates a very elegant touch to the ends.
Additional photos can be found here.
This shawl is in very good used condition, with a little sign of wear, a few very faint stains and some knotting of the tassels. Very lovely textile for display or use!

Your credit card debt hangs around like a bad smell and it seems like nothing will get rid of it. If you would like to start paying back your Credit Card Debt but don't know where to start, here are 15 ways to pay off your credit card debt.
Whilst paying back your debt isn't the most exciting thing to do, at least when it is gone you can feel better about yourself.
Even taking control of things can be a big boost and knowing you are starting to tackle the problem can provide some much needed relief.
Here we go!
1. Cut up your Credit Cards.
If you are paying back your Credit Cards but keep spending on them each month, consider cutting up your credit cards so you can't use them anymore. This could be considered drastic action but could be considered in extreme cases. This is what I should have done but I didn't!
2. Monitor your spending.
Manually tracking all your monthly expenses will help you build up a picture of where all your money goes. Once you have done this for a month, consider if you really need to spend the money and what you save you can use to pay off your credit card debt. I found I was wasting money buying lunches at work so I switched to making my own. This saved me quite a lot.
3. Make sacrifices.
Cut out the morning coffee, borrow books from your local library (assuming in the wake of all the cuts it is still open). Make your own lunches for work instead of buying them.
4. Move to a cheaper Credit Card Deal.
If you have a good credit rating, see if you can get a 0% balance transfer card. Pay off as much as you can when the transfer is complete. You will save interest and money and you should be able to pay off your credit card debt faster. However be careful that there aren't any hidden charges as it could end up costing you more.
5. Set up a Monthly Budget and try to stick to it.
Make a list of all your expenses and as each one is paid, mark it off your budget. Sticking to your monthly budget should mean you have money left at the end of the month. More ammunition to start tackling that Credit Card Debt!
6. Make more than the minimum payment.
If you only make the minimum payment towards your credit card debt, you will be in debt for a very long time. Using the above tips you should be able to free up some spare cash to start tackling the problem. If you have multiple credit cards, start with the most expensive card first then work your way through. The most expensive card is usually the credit card that charges you the most interest each month.
7. Talk to your Credit Card Companies.
See if they will reduce the amount of interest you are charged each month. Whilst it might seem unlikely it is possible they may do this. Less interest being charged should result in your payments having a bigger impact on the balance.
8. Start an emergency savings pot.
Credit Cards are typically used to cover emergency expenses. If you can start an emergency reserve fund, you will negate the need to spend on your credit cards.
– See this post on Saving up an Emergency fund.
9. Reclaim mis sold Payment Protection Insurance.
You may be entitled to a refund if you have been mis sold PPI. The extra cash could come in useful to help you with paying off your credit card debt. There are a lot of companies out there who can help with this. Alternatively you can also reclaim PPI back yourself.
– See How to Reclaim your PPI for free for information on reclaiming your PPI.
10. Sell your Old Mobile Phones.
If you have old mobile phones lying around, sell them. Whilst they may not be worth much the extra few pounds can go towards paying off your credit card debt.
Mazuma have always been good with me, you can find out more about them here.
11. Sell unused or unwanted items on eBay.
Again what you have might not be worth much but every little helps so they say. However if what you have is worth next to nothing, it is probably not worth your time.
See this post here for tips on selling on eBay.
12. Consolidate your Credit Card Debt.
If you have a good credit rating, you may be able to get a loan to pay off your credit cards. The interest on your loan should be cheaper than your credit cards for this to be effective. Another thing to consider is what you will do when the credit cards are paid off. If you will be tempted to spend again then this might not be a good idea. Alternatively you should close the credit card accounts to remove the temptation. After all you don't want to end up in an even worse situation than when you started.
13. Make additional small payments each month.
If for example your weekly shop was £5 cheaper, pay that £5 off one of your credit cards. It might not seem like much but each little bit you throw at the problem reduces your balance slightly. I find this helps me but I am strange like that.
14. Avoid missing payments.
Missing payments on your Credit Cards will result in you being given late payment charges and if your card goes over its limit, over limit fees. You will also incur extra interest and that's not going to be helpful to you.
Ideas on what you can do if you can't pay your Credit Card
15. What if your Credit Card Debt is beyond self help?
If your Credit Card debt is so serious and you feel there is no hope then seek help as soon as you can. There are a number of organisations in the UK who can help you without charge.

Make your house a haven for your cats and dogs. Here's the gear they should live with -- and how you can live with it, too.
There's a certain irony in suggesting that you encourage your dog or cat -- which may be sprawled across your sofa right now -- to feel more at home. But it is important to consider your pet's environment. "The right surroundings help reduce boredom and keep your pet relaxed, healthy, and better behaved," says Greg Kleva, a trainer at Bark Busters and the host of "It's a Dog's Life" on Martha Stewart Living Radio. Here are some things your pet needs to feel comfortable and safe and tips on how to integrate them into the home you share.
Catching Some Z's
For most dogs, a crate with a soft liner is a great escape from the occasional chaos of a busy household. Just don't alienate the animal. "A lot of owners put unsightly cages in the basement or in unused rooms, but this isolates the dog, and loneliness can create behavior problems," says Melinda Miller, hospital director at Smith Ridge Veterinary Center, in South Salem, New York. Instead, place the crate away from high-traffic areas but near the family. If you want something more stylish, opt for a crate in wood or wicker.
You have more than one spot to relax in the house, and your pet should, too. Whether to let animals on furniture is up to you, but if they are allowed, a towel or blanket can protect the upholstery. You can also place beds where family members spend the most time, such as the den and bedroom. Choose cushions that suit your pet's sleep style. Dogs that sleep curled into a ball often prefer fluffy round beds; those that stretch out like longer, flatter beds; and dogs that rest their heads will find a bed with bolsters along the side coziest.
In addition to a cushioned bed, a cat might like a window perch or a tiered "cat condo" for climbing and snoozing.
Dinner is Served
A pet's eating area should be away from commotion, such as in an open pantry. Cats and short-nosed breeds of dogs do best with wide, shallow feeding bowls, which accommodate the shape of their heads better than deep, narrow bowls do. All dishes should be fixed in a holder or heavy enough to not move and frustrate your pet (and scatter food, which frustrates you).
Let's Play
To keep your pet stimulated and your home neat, rotate out a third of your pet's playthings every few weeks. For safety, don't leave out toys with small removable parts or long strings. Place other toys in an open bin or basket on the floor. This lets dogs and cats get them at will; plus, it helps you with a quick and easy cleanup. "Many dogs can even be trained to put their toys back in their toy chests at night," Miller says.
Climb In for a Catnap
Some animals like the secure feeling of an enclosed bed. This one is handsome enough to put in any room. Handwoven pet basket, $185, olivegreendog.com.
The Right Stuff
A few good-looking and hardworking pet accessories.
Throw a durable blanket over furniture, or use it as a travel bed. Quilted throw blanket, in Leaf Green, $135, utilitycanvas.com.
Use a mat under food and water bowls to catch spills. Fish-shaped mat, in Wheat, $35, chilewich.com. Ridged Happy Cat bowl, in Creme, $22, georgesf.com.
Store kibble in a container that doesn't have to be hidden. Bon Chien medium food-storage can, $54, harrybarker.com.
