Hello everyone...How are you my lovely readers? today's weather is really hot, hot, hot and hot. yups, I know It's Bali, everyday is holiday and summer, although it's suppose to be rainy season in Indonesia, if I have no mistaken, when I was in Jakarta during September-December is rainy season but why?Bali..whoaahh, I really can't live without Air-conditioner anymore, as I know this one is not good for my dry skin, might be can make my skin even drier, TT, However what should I do, I can't stand with hot weather.
so, my lovely readers, today I am going to share with you Missha Perfect Cover BB cream, since the first time knowing this BB cream I fall in love with it, mostly I read this BB cream is perfect to cover acnes scars, and imperfection, as well as for combination skin type is a good choice, my skin type is dry and oily.
From the website:
The M Perfect Cover BB Cream gives an even and natural-looking coverage with the soothing, moisturising properties of a cream. It is suitable for all skin types including acne-prone skin, and can be used as a makeup base or foundation. Whitening + Anti-Wrinkle + UV Protection (SPF 42 PA+++)
My thought about this product:
This BB cream is suit to my skin type, Combination dry and oily. I choose my Shade No. 23 - Natural Beige. The first time of applying this BB cream, the color might be become too grayish color and our face will look too pale, but after 5-10 minutes this BB cream will be blended with our skin tone. I have ever trying this BB cream on my Make up Lesson for dark skin tone, after that I apply darker foundation on this BB cream, The color turn out really nice and have some glowing effect. The finish is really smooth and dewy. This BB cream also contains SPF 42 PA+++, so I think I don't have to use sunblock anymore.
What I love?
- easy to spread all over my face and blend it
- Contains SPF 42 PA+++, so I don't have to use sunblock before it.
- The price is affordable, I bought it on the Online store. Sorry I Forgot the exact price.
- The oil control is quite good, after 4-5 hours my face start getting oily around my T-zone area, but I think I'm still ok with this.
What I hate?
- Quite covering my acne scars, the name is M Perfect cover BB cream, it suppose to be giving the perfect covering all the imperfection right, and creating dewy finish look, but I think it's depend on people skin type too.
- Quite Moisturizer, because I always have some peeling skin around my nose, after apply this M perfect cover BB cream, the peeling look more visible.
Will I repurchase?
yes, I think I wanna try another shade, light beige.

Whistling over our graves
Colombia was received by Venezuela for the world cup elimination rounds. We won, 1-0, which puts us closer than ever to make it to a world cup. But that is not all of the story: the regime tried to have a 1 minute of silence at Cachamay stadium in memory of Chavez Slowly but surely a gigantic whistling and protest came from the crowd and TV had to "lose the sound".....
Meanwhile the regime offered its first fire sale of dollars. A few dozen millions were offered to secret bids. Well, not so secret since leaks already inform us that people are willing to offer between 12 and 15 Bs. per USD..... In January the currency was worth 4, 3. Even if SICAD manages to stabilize the value at 10 for a dollar (which nobody thinks it possible) this would mean that the currency in two devaluations has lost 57% of its value. That is right, in two months Venezuelans have lost more than half of their assets.
Now, the middle classes, those who can afford entries at Cachamay (though the regime subsidized a significant amount we are told) have just reasons to boooh and whistle the deceased, and his ersatz. Maybe Chavez memory will be forgotten faster than expected and chavismo will the lone one to blame for that, abusing with the necrophilia since he died.

I saw the game via Directv in the US, and the boos went on for the whole minute.ReplyDelete
The sound for the national anthem also went out (at the stadium) and the whole crowd sang the rest of the anthem with brio! That was a good moment (aside from Rondon's goal, that is!)
To add to the reported price of the $$ at SICAD, yesterday, is the fact that demand was not as high as expected given it was the first auction and Easter Week was getting started.ReplyDelete
Imagine after Easter, and add in that Maduro yesterday said they were working on allowing individuals to participate in SICAD as well and the price should go above Bs. 15 very soon.
Daniel, I disagree with you a bit: people that go to the games are usually "pueblo". I mean, there are pricy tickets, especially for this kind of game -cónfilo es para el mundial! But normally you just find common folk in the stadiums.ReplyDelete
I know for a fact, that the "pitas" in the Universitario stadium have been a great trouble for the regime. And, believe me, the public that goes to a baseball game is not middle class.
I conclude that, at the very least, people hate to mix politics with sports. Although I'd like to believe that they despise chavismo :)Replies
I disagree.People don't think that much before they whistle.It was a gut reaction, though I think you are right about the people being from the popular classes.
My family has been saying all along that Chavez has lost much popularity among the poor, only it seems that pols and votes do not reflect this .
Perhaps here we are seeing the truth shining through the propaganda that attempts to hide it.I love it!

washington -- A Bush political appointee and former Silicon Valley executive who has faced opposition in his bid to bail out Iraq's struggling factories is under investigation by the Defense Department on mismanagement allegations.
Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Paul A. Brinkley, who heads an economic task force in Baghdad, is accused of mismanaging government money and engaging in public drunkenness and sexual harassment, a Defense Department spokesman said last week.
The allegations stem from a 12-page memo filed this month by two former members of the task force. The charges are being investigated by the Defense Department's Office of the Inspector General.
Bob Love, director of operations for the task force, said he was shocked by the allegations, saying they were related to "personnel issues." He said the former task force members were dismissed before they filed their complaint.

In many parts of Europe, herbal supplements are considered standard medical treatment for BPH. Although herbs for BPH are available without prescription, men wishing to take them should be monitored by a physician.
The fat-soluble (liposterolic) extract of the saw palmetto berry has become the leading natural treatment for BPH. This extract, when used regularly, has been shown to help keep symptoms in check.1, 2 Saw palmetto appears to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to its more active form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Saw palmetto also blocks DHT from binding in the prostate.3 Studies have used 320 mg per day of saw palmetto extract that is standardized to contain approximately 80 to 95% fatty acids.
A three-year preliminary study in Germany found that 160 mg of saw palmetto extract taken twice daily reduced nighttime urination in 73% of patients and improved urinary flow rates significantly.4 In a double-blind trial at various sites in Europe, 160 mg of saw palmetto extract taken twice per day treated BPH as effectively as finasteride without side effects, such as loss of libido.5 A one-year dose-comparison study found that 320 mg once per day was as effective as 160 mg twice per day in the treatment of BPH.6 A review of double-blind trials concluded that saw palmetto is effective for treatment of men with BPH and is just as effective as, with fewer side effects than, the drug finasteride.7 However, two double-blind trials have found saw palmetto to be ineffective as a treatment for BPH.8, 9 The reason that different studies have had different results is not clear.

Saw palmetto , known more for its use in BPH, has also been used historically for symptoms of prostatitis.1 According to laboratory studies, saw palmetto contains constituents that act to reduce swelling and inflammation.2 However, there is no scientific research evaluating the effects of saw palmetto in men with prostatitis.

I am not a proponent of spring. I'll admit it. It is one of those things that make me not like other people I am around.
Like the fact that I don't want to have children of my own.
Or the fact that I hate Pot Roast.
I have covered these areas before. This just goes onto a long list of issues that make me Who. I. Am. You, my three readers, will need to deal with it.
Why am I not a proponent of spring? Because somewhere in my 30s I began to develop spring-time allergies. I never had these as a child. There was never an issue of not playing outside in the yard. Heck! I played outside in the woods!! There was a great thicket behind my house when I was growing up. There were well-worn bike trails and a small cut-out cave that had been created by children before me. It was a wonderful place to play.
My little brother and I would play outside all day/night long. There was no cable television. With the exception of Laugh-In, Carol Burnett or the Smothers Brothers, there wasn't much to watch on television.
Oh wait. There was Dark Shadows... but it was a 30 minute show, so it doesn't really count.
We played outside. We played in the woods. We played in the back yard. We rode our bikes to the top of the hill on our cul-de-sac (which we called a Dead End... because no one heard of a cul-de-sac back in the day) and we RACED our bikes down the hill as fast as we could and SLAMMED on the brakes to see who could leave a longer tire track.
We wiped out a lot too. Our driveway was gravel. There were plenty of boo-boos to be fussed over when we were growing up.
All that to say... I never came into the house with sneezing fits or teary eyes or a runny nose.
But now... now the first sign of spring bursts forth and I cannot see through the tears or stop sneezing. My head truly wishes to explode - I know, because it tells me All. Day. Long.
What has happened? If any of you have any insight to this... please fill me in.
Otherwise, I will simply return back to my American History homework and swallow another Zyrtec D.
Thank you, and good night.

Tropical Trip
20" x 20"
Original oil painting on gallery wrapped 1.5" canvas
"Large Still Life" Series
Only one in the entire universe...and it could be yours!
Certificate Of Authenticity provided with every original painting.
"Tropical Trip" was actually painted prior to "Psychedelic Pear" which I've already displayed here. Somehow, it got lost in the mire of photos....glad I discovered it... thought I'd already posted it. I'll most certainly be using the fabric I used for the background again. it was a pleasure to paint.
I haven't been posting much lately as I've been preoccupied with getting my house ready to sell, spending more time at my studio in Saratoga Springs, NY along with several 'out of left field' situations that have emerged. Just so much a girl can do...
I decided to chuck everything today and went swimming with a friend at a tiny beautiful private beach at Pilot Knob on Lake George, NY. What a treat!
For you local Capital District, NY folks.....First Saturday at The Arts District on Beekman Street is rolling around again. I will be at my studio/gallery at 79 Beekman Street in the Arts District tomorrow from 5-8 pm. Hope to see some of you there!

I love how the cows will watch me pretty intently when I get close to the fence, but it never stops them from eating. :-)
NDP is on auto-pilot as I've been in Chicago for a conference. I'll be back tomorrow.
Most people equate NASHVILLE (aka Music City) with country music. But there is so much more to our city. Let me introduce you to the people, the places and the things that give Nashville its unique personality!
I'm enjoying your series on "the girls". I hope that you are having a great time in Chicago, one of my favorite cities. Who's sponsoring the writers' conference?
Oh, that hay tastes so good!
I miss our cows everything you post these photos. Peace

|Post-ride snack
Red was forward, relaxed, and eager to go. After our warm-up, he picked up his comfortable trot, between 7 and 8 mph, and just stayed in it, except for slowing to a walk for the downhills. He was minimally spooky (yay!) and travelled pretty straight down the middle of the road (his preferred path), and we did the whole ride on a loose rein. One of the things I love about Red is his complete ease with going out alone. We march down the driveway from the barn with his ears up and nary a backward glance, despite the pony neighing to him. He felt great the whole ride.
Rhio was lazy, dragging, and asking to turn back for the farm at every opportunity for the first 3 miles of the ride; this is normal behavior for him and he complies easily when asked to continue forward, but does so at a slow trot while craning his neck around to the side to glance back and always with one ear back. Once we hit the 3 mile mark, he no longer acts like he wants to turn around, but he is still not particularly motivated and I have to keep asking him to maintain a decent pace or he will slowly fade back to his slow trot. He prefers the very edge of the road, but weaves back & forth from one side to the other. Once we hit the turn around spot, though, his extra batteries kick in and he's off like a shot for home. We compromise by alternating trotting (9 or 10 mph vs. his slow trot at 6 mph) and cantering, and he no longer weaves back and forth but makes a straight path down the edge of the road. We still walk most of the downhills, and end up with the same average speed for the ride for both horses, though the execution of the ride is not at all similar.
It was interesting to compare the horses like this, and I wish I had put the heart rate monitor on each of them as well, so I could look at their working heart rates at Red's steady pace and Rhio's fluctuating one. Of course, Red is not as fit as Rhio and the humidity, especially, is more difficult for him to cope with. I noticed that the veins under the skin on Rhio's neck pop out right away after only a little trotting, and Red's are never visible. Both horses appear equally sweaty when we return, and neither was breathing hard nor seemed to have any difficulty recovering after the ride (although I didn't actually pulse them down to see - I know Rhio pulses down almost immediately and Red takes a bit, even if they were equally fit).
On both rides, I worked on posting both diagonals. I prefer to post the left diagonal on both horses, and it feels strange to post the right diagonal. I have been trying to concentrate on posting equally to both sides when I ride. Red accepted my changing diagonals with no outward sign that it bothered him, but Rhio would either bounce me back to the left or break into a canter when I tried to post his right diagonal at his faster trot. At a slower trot, he did not care which diagonal I was on.
I'm glad to have gotten the boys both out for a nice conditioning ride before I leave on vacation for 6 days. Our next competition is August 14 -15, so I'll only have about 10 days to work them when I get back before they'll be on their rest days pre-competition. The farrier is coming right after my vacation and we will make another assessment on Rhio's hoof crack at that point. There is a fairly large section that is loose, but it doesn't seem to be stressed by the exercise and it is clear that the heel section is going to stay intact - hooray! He is always in boots now when I ride to protect that crack. I sure hope I get to take him to the ride in August, but if not it will be fun to ride Red at a competition again. Red's last season of competition was 2008.
|Rhio says "Ahhh! I love to get dirty, especially after Mom just hosed me off."

My first beauty swap and I'm so excited writting about this..! I never know that Beauty Swap could be this fun. Now let's start with a story of knowing my partner.
Winda is a fellow Indonesian beauty blogger who active blogging longer than me.. She first started her blog on wind-atree.blogspot.com which now become www.dajourneys.com.. Congratulations for your new web domain, bae! (Follow her Instagram on : @wind1403).
We first met on ClozetteID. Yes, we are both Star Clozetters. We know each other from Star Clozetter's Whatsapp, following each other's IG account, then coincidentally featured together in Gogirl! Magazine December 2015 issue together with Jean Milka and Dea Hamdan.
While she lives in Bandung, I lives in smaller city, Kediri, and facing difficulties getting this magazine. Then Winda offered to get this for me and asked whether there is anything else I want. (Isn't she so kind?). Then I said, "let's do a swap". She then replied "Yes, let's do it".
Winda already has few Beauty Swap experience with both international and Indonesian bloggers, so she helped me A LOT in doing this. She explained what is beauty swap and how to do it. She asked me to create the rules (such as the budget, the preference, etc) and make sure that this experience will be memorable to me. She's like my big sister, the one who will take care of you, if you get what I mean. She makes me comfortable all the way.
She's also fast. I mean, with all her busy things around, I couldn't believe she managed to do this thousand times better than me. She wrapped the box nicely with green gift wrap. This supposed to be a Christmas swap and I certainly feels like Christmas.
My first impression when open the box is "What??? She wrapped the things one by one with a green wrap!! I'm so ashamed, I only wrapped few things together with thick bubble wrap. I only think about safety, not the aesthetic of gift wrapping. Stupid me!".
Second thing, "OMG! How could she do this to me?". While I was amazed of how Winda wrapped each of them nicely and unwrapping them with a happy heart (and regret why I didn't do something better for her), I was counting them. The total is 24 items including the magz. I only put half of the number inside my package for her.
|Even my Lizzy could not stop looking at them 😁
The third thing is Winda's thoughful picks. My gift for her is just a bunch of random thing. Got package from her is like winning complete year supply of make up. From the bb cream, cc cream, powder, concealer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyelashes, lipbalm, lipgloss, lipstick, blusher, nailpolish. You name it, Winda put all of them inside the package. Even I got some mask and eyecream too. I will write the list of the products in the bottom part of this post.
What I want to say to Winda is thank you for being such a good friend to me. I'm so happy to know you. Without you realize, you teach me so many things. Friendship, hardwork, being on time, being a good mother, and of course how to do beauty swap. Next time I will do much better than this if you still want to have swap with me.. Lol..

article in The Five Towns Patch. The Peninsula Boulevard Groundwater Plume describes a Superfund site in Hewlett, N.Y. that doesn't have a named source.
Early in the investigation, it was thought the former Grove Cleaners was responsible, but that was ruled out, according to the Environmental Protection Agency report. The contaminant is tetrachloroethylene, or PCE, and the contaminated groundwater flows toward a drinking water source called the Long Island American Water Plant 5 Well Field. Beginning in 1991, that well water has been treated with a packed power aeration system, or air stripper. The site was proposed for and listed with Superfund status in 2004.
Contamination Clean up begins in Hewlett, N.Y.There is a school nearby but vapor intrusion tests have shown no problems there. The agency also sampled nearby building slabs with the plan to install remediation systems if vapor intrusion was detected.
The cleanup plan is to drill wells allowing the solvent to flow into them. Pumps will extract the water and send it through a treatment process before retiring it to the ground. The cleanup process may take 15 years or more. PCE easily evaporates into air where people can be affected by breathing it. It is considered a carcinogen.

Created through the Affordable Care Act, the rule requires insurers to spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on patient care and quality improvement. If they spend a higher amount on other expenses like profits and red tape, they owe rebates back to consumers.Of course, profits are not expenses, but what remains after expenses have been deducted. "Red tape" is generally a euphemism for bureaucracy or government regulation.
The 2011 average cost of a family policy was about $15,000, so the $100 rebates amount to a savings of about two-thirds of one percent.

Sometimes Shop
So, some news: I moved back to NYC and had a pop up shop with friends Leah, Rachel, Monica, Gina, and Masuko. Here are some photos of said shop - it was pretty great, if I do say so myself. We're already planning the next one in December. Back to the salt mines!

A year or so after I began this blog, I thought I might expand it to include critical reviews of books relating to philosophy, science, and religion. I had already started an enjoyable hobby at that point -- making informal comments about the books I read on a weekly basis at a social network site -- and decided instead to make blogspot "This Week at the Library"'s home. Often, weekly comments have a "Quotation of the Week" section, typically chosen for point-making or humor value. Since it's the end of the year, I thought I would share the quotations with a point to make here.
"It's always easy to avoid other people's vices, isn't it?". This is a paraphrase of a comment made in a Star Wars novel, but it struck home for me. My brain sometimes insists on chattering about other people's failings, even though I know good and well their behavior isn't really my business, and when I feel tempted to compare my behavior to theirs for reasons that are not for my own edification -- that is, learning from other people's examples -- I shut that part of my brain up with Sean Stewart's quotation in Yoda, Dark Rendezvous.
"The television commercial is about products only in the sense that the story of Jonah is about the anatomy of whales, which is to say it isn't. Which is to say further , it is about how one ought to live one's life." (Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death) Television commercials not only sell products, they sell the idea that we should be interested in this product and its presentation.
"There is no need for temple or church, for mosque or synagogue, no need for complicated philosophy, doctrine, or dogma. Our own heart, our own mind, is the temple. The doctrine is compassion. Love for others and respect for their rights and dignity, no matter what or who they are: ultimately these are all we need. So long as we practiced these in our daily lives, [...] there is no doubt we will be happy. "- Tenzin Gyatso, Ethics for a New Millenium. Gyatso, better known as the Dalai Lama, has a very humanistic religion of happiness at heart.
"What Camus is saying is that there is reason to be hopeful, that man must understand his condition and must struggle, fight, and rebel against the absurdity of life. There is hope, and hope is to be found in man and in man only. Man defines himself, gives himself an identity through his actions. Even though the futility of our condition leads us all to the same end, we must and can dignify life through our needs and behavior." - Jacques Pepin, commenting on Camus' Myth of Sisyphus in The Book that Changed my Life.
By ourselves is evil done;
By ourselves we pain endure.
By ourselves we cease from ill;
By ourselves become we pure.
No one can save us but ourselves;
No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path,
Buddhas only point the way. - repeated in Taming the Mind, an introduction to Buddhism. I find its lines very humanistic.
"Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. It is a way of of skeptically interrogating the universe with an eye for human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those of authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan -- political or religious -- who comes ambling along." - Carl Sagan, echoing a comment he made also in The Demon-Haunted World, which I re-read this year.
"All men are created equal, endowed with reason sufficient to manage their own affairs and even to get to the heart of abstract and philosophical matters. The miracles attributed to the greatest prophets and religious leaders are tricks, no more real than the illusions of street-corner fakirs. People do not need rules handed down and enforced from one high to form orderly societies. In contrast, blind belief in the absolute truths of religions inspires fanaticism and hatred. All authorities and accepted knowledge need to be questioned. Each generation has the opportunity to move science forward through new observations and experimentation and because of such progress, society itself often advances." - Abu Bakr al-Razi, as quoted-in-paraphrase in Medical Firsts by Robert Adler.
"There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumblings of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people's thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, [and] kindness. If we remember those times and places -- and there are so many where people have behaved magnificently -- this gives us the energy to act. Hope is the energy for change. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live in defiance of the worst of everything around us is a marvelous victory." - Howard Zinn, The People's History of American Empire. Although my cynical mood has lifted in the last week, Zinn's thoughts -- and Jacques Pepin's -- should be taken more to heart by me, I think.
The general theme of these quotations, I think, is of the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.

On the way home today from visiting Litchfield National Park, we hit a patch of the Stuart Highway where visibility had been wiped out because of smoke.
The firies were doing controlled burning of trees and shrubs next to the highway and then the wind came up. It got out of control quickly and when it did some cars and a bus going south collided in a six car pile-up.
We stopped, first of all because we couldn't see well enough to drive, but also to help if needed. Some people were hurt but no fatalities, and an ambulance and the police were called.
Later, back in Darwin, we were told that Darwin area has only a very few ambulances. Remarkable for a town of 100,000.
It my be that the fire crew were negligent in setting the fires in dangerous conditions.
I felt so sorry for the victims of this crash. One minute they might have been happy tourists like us, the next moment, their holiday is behind them.

In many a daily way, birds are expressively shown by cartoons.
A broad array of world birds behave, react and exist in a myriad of distinct ways. Variety of colors, shapes and sizes, habits, and other aspects of bird biology can be a constant source of topics to express, often with a focus on humor, for a cartoonist.
Bird types are readily emphasized and enhanced in an obvious manner, presenting the sketchers perspective.
Cartoonist Steve Ward, drew Buzz the Fly, but would depict other animals upon request, and did some interesting views of birds from Nebraska. There weren't any named birds in the Buzz strips, which were multi-paneled, focused on the life and times of the fly and fellow insects, hither and yon.
The celebrated BirdBreath theme "is about how birds view life - hence 'Life from a bird's point of view,'" said cartoonist Robert Seymour, of San Francisco Bay, coastal California. "The cartoon looks at all of us from their perspective."
Robert conveys a simplicity with BirdBreath. "I try to generalize birds drawn to commonly recognized species, like pelican, cardinal, quail, bluebird etc. I also occasionally add non-bird characters, like polar bear, brown bear, grey wolves, deer and others, depending on the topic or point being made."
"The focus is on the expressions and situation of the subjects. Most of the time it's all about being funny, but at times more sobering, especially when dealing with animal rights, the environment, and global warming. I try not to make them goofy looking, but rather more humanized. I want the readers to be able to identify with them."
"Their personalities are still developing and maturing. The main characters are Smarty and Devin, followed by the nemises Harvey, Vinnie and Poody.Hennie appears in work related cartoons, Daryl in dealing with hunting, and Willy appears in a variety of cartoon topics. Some of the others have names and others as yet do not."
BirdBreath was started in July 1, 2005. Each new cartoon presents "a unique way to approach a variety of topics," Seymour said in an email interview. "Much of what they do translates well our own experiences. Just about everything they do makes me (and others) laugh.
"My goal is to allow BirdBreath to mature and gain greater depth. It began as strictly slap-stick humor and has grown to include a broader spectrum of humor. I want it not only to be funny but make a positive contribution to society, in terms of humor and morals. At times I also want it to subliminally make a point.
Topical news may become the subject of a cartoon.
One idea being considered for BirdBreath is the "huge oil spill here in the San Francisco Bay recently after a tanker collided with the Oakland Bay Bridge," Seymour commented. "It created all kinds of havoc."
"BB has been very well received. I continually get complimentary emails from people. The email cartoon subscribers continues to grow. Word really seems to be getting out."
New cartoons are generally featured five days a week at the website of this contemporary cartoon.
Robert began July 1, 2003 with "a cartoon called DuJour which occasionally featured birds. I enjoyed the bird cartoons more, so I spun them off. It grew on me. I now have several bird books and enjoy birding. It's addictive. I still have much to learn."

NHL Pass On Ovechkin, Choose Flyers For Winter Classic
Total Pro Sports – Once again, NBC has asserted their dominance over the NHL. During this year's playoffs, they first forced the NHL to play back-to-back games in the finals so that their TV schedule would not be interrupted during Conan O'Brien's opening week. Then they ordered the league to shut down the large viewing parties outside the arenas because they felt it was hurting their ratings.
This time NBC has rejected the possibility of the Washington Capitals and Alex Ovechkin playing in next season's Winter Classic at Fenway Park. Instead, they have opted for the Philadelphia Flyers to take on the Boston Bruins because they believed it would draw better ratings.
So why did they decide to pass on having on of the most electrifying players in the league play in the popular New Years Day outdoor game in favor of the Flyers? Looking at last seasons ratings of the two teams when playing the Bruins, they felt that a game involving Philly would draw a better audience.
It's always about the ratings, but is passing on an exciting team like the Caps, with players like Ovechkin, Alexander Semin, and Mike Green ever a good idea if it is ratings you are looking for? NBC seems to think so. However, I would beg to differ.

My very first coneflower has bloomed! I'm so excited to see they survived the harsh winter and the plants are healthy and loaded with buds.
The Stella's are blooming now, too. The flowers are really loving the rains we've been getting. As is the grass, which is making the yard mowing a never-ending job, it needs mowing as I speak. See in the photo above how tall the grass in the pasture is? It needs mowing and the hay baled. We wait on our neighbor to do that when he has time.
I won't complain about the yard work after the long, cold winter we had. Too much. Not after I find some knee pads to wear so I can easily kneel on the ground to pull weeds without my knees aching so much. I need to get my pitiful looking zinnia and sunflower garden weeded. Soon as I find something for my knees.
Yesterday was one of those days that seemed like a good day to read. I picked up a Gladys Taber book and read a few chapters. Her books are akin to eating comfort food for me and they immediately transport me back in time to a simpler way of life. I love the word pictures she paints of her life at Stillmeadow and her love for nature and animals. Her writing is much like talking to an old friend about birds, the weather, gardening, pets, cooking and living the simple life. Do you have a book that you love to read that transports you into a place of peace and comfort? I'll leave you with a quote of hers that I like.
"Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone. It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones, to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen. If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity. And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others." ~Gladys Taber
Happy Tuesday to you!

|First lady Michelle Obama addresses the
Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's
42nd Annual Phoenix Awards dinner in Washington,
Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012. (AP Photo, Cliff Owen)
The Wisconsin State Journal (AP) and Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (Jason Stein) ran dumbed-down pieces on the Republican and Tea Party's vacuous claims of massive voter fraud in the last 24 hours.
Both pieces lack the rigor, facts and scope of the Brennan Center for Justice's routine work on the GOP's effort to steal elections by obstructing voters by demanding unconstitutional remedies for a problem invented in the minds of GOP strategists.
And these pieces represent a vast improvement in coverage of the GOP's effort to steal elections by stopping voters—especially the black, brown and homeless-veterans' types of voters.
Self-deport yourselves from the political process, is the GOP-Tea Party project.
Packer fans are rightly outraged by the scab officials' absurd calls on the field that take the integrity out of football and cost us a game last night.
We ought to be similarly outraged by the GOP and Tea Party's efforts to take the integrity out of our democratic system, and obstruct the rights of millions of Americans in virtually every state controlled by the GOP-Tea Party axis.

This year as each year, will have its own memories for today. I would just like to take the time to say that we all as Americans have so much to be thankful for and for so many though, today was not happy and there was no turkey in the oven, and for many it was just another day in the lives of the working poor. I didn't mean to imply that we should not still be thankful, just that its also a time to reflect on how we can help others to have as much to be thankful for.
Just a short 32 years ago, CEO's were paid maybe 40 to 50 times the lowest employee ( I am sure that there were a few who made more) and now those same CEO's are being paid 300 to 500 times the lowest employee. In plain facts there is not enough money to pay livable wages, because the CEO's just took almost most of the money for paychecks for the employees. The plight of the working poor in our country is dire, they are overworked, paid min wage and see there paycheck cover less and less. They have no options but to take advantage of the 'social net' programs that we still have (not long if left up to those same said CEO's, who are lobbying to cut all spending on social net programs and of course dismantle Social Security and Medicare) and suffer the pain of shame for not being able to adequately provide for your family. Sure they have a TV, sometimes no cable but if they have a computer, they can still find entertainment. Too many times, the car insurance (no car- no job in many cases) and rent and utilities eat up all of their paycheck.
In reality the CEO's are a big part of why we have such a large portion of our country of the working poor. All that is needed is to cut that CEO's pay and instead pay the employees a livable wage. Our wages have stagnated for all but their elite in our country and they say that now we have less spending power from our paycheck than we did in 1968. If employees min wage had kept pace with the CEO's, I believe that I read where it would be around 32 dollars an hour. That lack of spending power is what is killing our economy.
If those CEO's of corporations were made to take the same amount of payroll money and divide it to the point that the CEO's could only make 50 times the lowest employee, the only way to keep a higher salary is to pay the employees more. That could be accomplished by a penalty tax on those corporations that do not pay livable wages and generous tax breaks for paying livable wages and not outsourcing. There used to be tax policy's like this before 1980.
We the people of this country came together and elected our president and I have faith that if we put our energy's together, we can enact the kind of change needed in our country, that would have a future with livable wages and less inequality in our country

Apparently, I don't know my alphabet backwards very well because I forgot about the letter X in our alphabet countdown! So, I've added it to this week:
Monday- X: x-ray day- everyone wear black and white
Tuesday (back on track)- U- Under the Sea day- we'll have a beach theme
Wednesday- T- T-Shirt Day- wear your favourite t-shirt
Thursday- S- SuperHero day-
Friday- R- Robots- building robots!
We're doing a review of our letters each day as well. Even though Guided Reading books aren't going home, we are still working on reading in class.
In Math we are learning about 3D shapes. We are having a good time with this unit, learning about sphere, cylinders, cubes, and cones.
We continue with our daily writing. I am so impressed with the quality of their writing. I hope you get a chance to read their work!
Our field trip is scheduled for June 16 with the rain date as June 17. More information will be forthcoming.
As always, any questions, let me know!

Baked into bread might be ideal for winter, but come summer, I want my bananas in a pudding, preferably layered with fresh-sliced bananas and Nilla Wafers (whole or crushed, I'm not picky). I've found three different puddings worth exploring around the South Sound. Take a look:
Lizzie Lou's Too 2302 Pacific Highway E., Fife; 253-248-4611 or Facebook
The banana pudding ($2) at Lizzie Lou Too's was so thickly whipped, the pudding gripped the spoon. Served in a plastic container - with a lid for easy transporting - the take-out dessert balanced intense banana flavor with modest sweetness. I appreciated the pudding-to-banana ratio in favor of pudding. Lizzie Lou's is a month-old dining counter inside Destination Harley in Fife. The restaurant has a sibling business, the Lizzie Lou's Comfort Food truck.
Southern Exposure2715 Sixth Ave., Tacoma; 253-272- 2514 or southernon6th.comSouthern Exposure's banana pudding ($4) tasted like something straight out of your grandma's kitchen. The pudding carried the texture and flavor of the '50s era puddings reminiscent of the boxed kind, the type with a looser, soft texture and heavy sweetness. The ratio skewed higher on bananas and wafers to pudding. Ours was still warm and tasted freshly made.
Corina Bakery602 Fawcett Ave., Tacoma; 253-627-5070 or corinabakery.comDubbed "banana crack" around town, the bakery long has produced this plastic cup layered with thick pudding, fresh-sliced bananas and Nilla wafers. At $2.99 it's a solid deal considering the cup's big enough for sharing. Occasionally, they don't have the pudding, so do call first. If they're out, you can always pick out a brownie made with Valhalla Coffee ($2.75)

Because parents are not concerned with the qualificationsWhich is absolutely true. Ever helpful, Ben has a suggestion to send attendance through the roof.

of yet another education bureaucrat.
You don't have to persuade me that many parents have little hope regarding their voice actually having an impact. Add to it the very short notice given about the meetings, being in the middle of the busy spring concert/graduation/push to finish school season, the fact that they're required to travel down to Bransford Avenue and still have lives and care for their children and keep their jobs and it's little wonder that turnout is low. However, now that the word is out and they'll be additional meetings I think they'll see attendance rise. It would have been better, imo, if they'd have arranged to actually get into the districts to make attending a bit easier on parents.
Frankly, I would have thought that an engaged and active BOE would have already had regular community meetings in their districts and would already know what to tell these headhunters about the kind of person they want as director.

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce has a voter information project called The Minnesota Prosperity Project. According to the Chamber, the project's purpose is "to keep all Minnesotans informed and educated on the issues that most affect our state's jobs and economy. It provides non-partisan information on issues, legislators, candidates and elections. Our voting records represent the most important votes on the issues that impact Minnesota businesses and jobs – they are not intended to endorse or oppose any candidate for office."
How did Rep. John Benson (DFL-Minnetonka), House District 43B fare on the Prosperity Project scorecard? In 2007, Benson voted to support the Chamber of Commerce position on only 2 of 12 votes tracked. In 2008, Benson supported the Chamber position on 3 of 15 votes. They include a wide variety of issues including labor/management, education, transportation, energy, health care, fiscal policy, and taxes.

RIM's BlackBerry: Failure to Communicate
When apple unveiled its new tablet device I pad people welcomed it and a fantastic innovation, then even made it the gadget of the year, Steve Jobs in his words described the I pad "truly magical and revolutionary product," something "and "unbelievably great."
But when Jim Balsille the co CEO of Research in Motion introduced the Playbook his company's answer to the I pad Balsille spoke something that not many understood. On the technical level the playbook seems better than the I pad, Morgan Stanley analyst Ehud Gelblum wrote that its technical features appear "to outperform competing device hardware on nearly every metric. But the problem lies in selling and people adapting it, if RIM cannot sell it then it would not really matter if the device is technically better than Apple's I pad.
Competing with Apple gets tough and the reason it gets tough because Apple relies on innovation and comes out with a device that is not available in the market and this is exactly what people want, something that is not available. And with Apple fantastic marketing and awareness it is comparatively easy for them to get the customers adapted to their products.
RIM is also good at innovation and can be seen with products such as the Black Berry which is the No 1 smart phone in a lot of countries, but RIM has been slow to the marketing game. The first BlackBerry TV ad ran in 2008, nine years after the product was launched, when it was already racking up sales of more than $6 billion a year. (Sales hit almost $15 billion in the year that ended Feb. 27.)
They also lacked a full time Chief Financial officer for 2 years until their Chief accounting officer was appointed for the job. Most of the companies falter because they get locked into a system that has worked for them for quite a while when everything else outside is fast moving and changing. Just having a technological edge is not enough it is how you pass on the message or communicate the technology to your customers.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!
The morning glories are blooming, FINALLY, and they've stretched out
in a fabulous, inconsiderate sprawl over their neighbors in the front flower bed.
But I'm going to let it go and overlook this bad behavior.
The blooms are just too
fantastically sky blue
to protest their invasiveness with my clippers.

I recently started a devotional on the purpose driven life, and it starts out talking about how different people are driven by different things. Some people are driven by anger, some by fear some by materialism and others by the need for approval. Of course when we're driven by those things we don't realize it, we can spend our whole lives letting those things be our motivation for life without stopping and realizing we're headed in the wrong direction. It's not until you're headed in the right direction that you look back and wonder what you were thinking.
I did not realize until arriving in Kenya, and not fully until leaving Kenya how much my life was driven by the need for people's approval. It wasn't so much the need for everyone to like me or to impress people but really just the need to make everyone else happy, so that they'd be happy with me. I made sure my life was so completely busy that I didn't have a chance to think about whether or not I was happy. It was nonstop go from morning to night; school, work, church, work out, musical, lessons and meetings. It got to the point where even meeting with friends was more of an appointment to get through so I could meet with the next friend or person that needed my help. I felt like if I could do all those things and still put on a smile then people would think highly of me.
But the thing about being driven by something other than God and fulfilling God's purpose for your life is that you very quickly get off track. I filled my life with so many things I thought the perfect Christian girl, and daughter would be doing. But really I was going nowhere, I didn't stop to think what God wanted for me, I didn't sit still and wait for his answer instead I tried to predict what his answer would be, and I think I wasted a year of my life.
The cool is that, when you are on the right track it's so obvious. It's like God is sitting up in heaven laughing at me saying of course this is what I wanted you to do, why didn't you listen to me a year ago when you asked? And so the more time I spend here in South Africa the more I'm realizing what God wants me to do, because of the fact that although I am here doing work. I have a lot of time to sit and listen to what he's telling me and even the work I am doing now I know he had planned in order to prepare me for the future he had in store. It's so cool when you know so clearly what God had planned all along. It gives me a nice sense of peace.
Lesson learned, Psalms 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God"

By Niamh Anderson
ONE of Scotland's top restaurateurs has been forced to close his newly-opened businesses because of scaffolding erected by a council.
Pierre Levicky, founder of the famous Pierre Victoire chain, opened a new restaurant in December last year only for it to disappear behind a tower of metal and wood just four months later.
An exasperated Levicky – who is understood to have lost 14,000 on the Edinburgh restaurant already – has been told the scaffolding will not be removed until September.
And now the chef has been forced to close the restaurant leaving ten people out of a job.
Mr Levicky, who ran the restaurant in partnership with Mark Lawrence, is also threatening to take the council to court if a solution is not found within the next few days.
The fish restaurant in Cockburn Street is part of a building which is owned by several landlords. Edinburgh council has stepped in to organise badly-needed roof repairs and will be bill the owners later.
Mr Levicky said:
"We were just starting to recover from the poor winter season because of the snow.
"It is five metres deep so no natural sunlight can come into the building. We're completely in the shadows of this shabby scaffolding.
"The worst thing was that for the first five weeks of it being up, not one single worker showed up. "
Staff in the restaurant, Chez Jules Fish, had taken to social networking sites Twitter and Facebook to try and encourage people to visit the seafood eatery.
And Mr Levicky even ventured in to the street to try to entice customers.
He said:
"We've tried everything to entice people in but nobody's coming.
"We've advertised on our website, hung lanterns around the entrance and even tried putting out tables and chairs. Can you believe that an environmental warden came around and demanded we remove them due to health and safety risks? "
"I am entitled by law to use my property as I wish and because of this mess, my restaurant is no longer fit for its purpose, and for this I think Edinburgh Council has a lot to answer for. "
But staff say that they were not aware how serious the problems at the restaurant were.
One former employee said:
"We knew we were having problems but we didn't know it was so bad that it would have to close down. "
A council spokesman said:
"These works are necessary to remedy defects to the roof. Owners were advised in writing in early March that this was a 20-week contract and the project is running to schedule. "

And I Thought They'd Be Writing About Julio Franco
Poor Philadelphians. The Bucks County-ites seem rather mellow, as they try to distinguish themselves because they have Bucks County Coffee, proximity to the Delaware River, they might work in central New Jersey, you name it. But the Philadelphia sports fan has a bit of a swagger at the moment, owing totally to the notion that a potential all-time champion is in their midst.
Forget the Phillies' injury problems, the combination of McNabb and Owens, the NBA Draft -- all eyes are upon Smarty Jones. And his owners. And his trainer. And his jockey. And probably forty-two other people who are friends of the cousin of the guy who prepares the horse's food. An autographed horsehoe, anyone?

So, which "flavor" of Ronald Reagan the Cold Warrior do you prefer? The master manipulator who unspooled a systematic, carefully-planned strategy to first weaken, then take down, the Soviet Union? Or the genial, clueless bystander who just happened to be "on duty" when Mikhail Gorbachev broke the ice with glasnost and perestroika and allowed subsequent events to take their natural course? With Reagan's "official" White House biographer having long since plunged off the deep end, the second volume of Stephen Hayward's AGE OF REAGAN, to be released late next month, will probably reign as the default "standard pro-Reagan story" of how the Cold War came to an end. In the meantime, here's a very interesting, thought-provoking book that avoids falling into either camp and sounds a very loud ring of truth in numerous places.
Mann, author of RISE OF THE VULCANS, which walked a similarly thin line in describing the foreign policy of George W. Bush, gives Gorbachev most of the credit for relaxing tensions between the USA and the USSR, but argues that Reagan "helped create the climate in which the Cold War could end." Reagan did so in the face of strong opposition from the foreign-policy establishment, including fellow anti-Communists Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger, who were alarmed at what they perceived to be Reagan's naivete in taking Gorbachev's new direction seriously. Fellow conservatives also strongly protested the summitry of Reagan's last several years in office, with one going so far as to label Reagan a "useful idiot for Soviet propaganda." I can affirm that this is true because I was one of them. Back in 1987-88, I was halfway convinced that Gorbachev was manipulating Reagan and taking advantage of Reagan's desire for a peace-loving "legacy." Reagan's successor George H.W. Bush, in fact, took a harder line on trusting Gorbachev during his 1988 Presidential campaign than Reagan did. Here is one instance in which Reagan's "first-class temperament" served him well. He was able to spot and exploit an opportunity to "defang" the Soviets without war by challenging them to live up to Gorbachev's professed desire for a freer USSR. The famed "tear down this wall!" speech in Berlin, the development of which is sketched out in considerable detail here, was just such a "practice what you preach" moment. Reagan was also known to place great stock in personal relationships as a tool of diplomacy, and Mann describes how Reagan received a great deal of assistance from Suzanne Massie, a lady who had written a history of Russia and served as a sort of informal adviser as Reagan hashed out his relationship with the Soviets during the Gorbachev era.
Mann's book is split into four parts, running on parallel tracks: (1) Reagan's disputes with Nixon, (2) Reagan's interactions with Massie, (3) the Berlin Wall speech, (4) the summits of the last several years of the Reagan Presidency. I understand the reasoning behind this approach, but it does lead to some annoying sloppiness, e.g. Mann "introduces" certain supporting characters in multiple places with pretty much the same language. Despite the clumsiness, the book is fair to all parties and, as the numerous blurbs on the back cover say, avoids falling into cliches of either the left or the right. While (if?) you're waiting for Hayward's saga to be completed, this book is a good way to while away the time and whet your appetite.

Co-CEO Steve Ells, on the first ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen:
While we're still working to perfect the concept, it reminds me very much of the first Chipotle when it originally opened. Many current customers aren't quite sure how the system works or what to order when they first come in and sometimes have issues with flavor combinations or the level of spice in their food. But they like it and from the very beginning, you see that the customers are coming back, week after week.
Ells, on Obamacare:
We, today, have a limited insurance program that we offer our crew. Most of our crew chose not to pick that up. And so we would go from very few of our crew being involved in the voluntary program to us being required to provide insurance to all of our employees. So it would be pretty significant change to our business.
Co-CEO Monty Moran, on Chipotle's Restaurateur management development program (where managers get a big bonus for hiring employees who then become managers):
This GM taught all of us a lesson: She came from a Restaurateur store herself and had a strong vision for what a winning team looked like. Weeks before her new store opened, she spent days on the sidewalk in front of her new restaurant, interviewing candidates for crew positions…Once she had selected her team, she trained each of them in an existing Chipotle and then invited all of them to her apartment to explain to them her vision for her restaurant and to watch videos from the 2010 All Managers Conference to be sure that each of these people understood Chipotle's unique culture. She made a commitment to each of them to help them grow and carefully described exactly how they would be able to become managers and future leaders at Chipotle themselves. At the same time, she secured a commitment from each of them to devote themselves fully to becoming part of the Restaurateur store very quickly.
Moran, on seasonal changes in traffic:
Our peak hour transactions are sort of more in the 100 range during the winter months. And during the summer months, it's historically gotten up sort of more in that 110 to 115 range…Obviously, with this coming spring and summer season, we hope to set some new records in those areas because of our new emphasis.
Ells, on menu development:
One of the reasons that we continue to grow so strongly is because we continue to improve our core offerings, which is what people come for. We have experimented here and there with a new menu item. We've tried soup. We've tried chili. We've tried smaller menu items, single taco, things like this. But it seems that people keep coming back for their chicken burrito or their barbacoa tacos or whatever it is that they've landed on.
Bonus tidbit:
Brown rice, one of the chain's most recent menu additions, now accounts for about a third of all rice served by the chain.

1. Soho Rep: Some of my most favorite theater experiences have been at Soho Rep. Such great productions as Mac Wellman's Dracula and Swoop, Len Jenkin's Careless Love and Dark Ride, Wendy MacLeod's The House of Yes, Melissa James Gibson's [sic] and Suitcase, Madelyn Kent's Peninsula and most recently The Thugs by Adam Bock make Soho Rep my personal favorite theater company in nyc . Julian Webber and Daniel Aukin were both excellent Artistic Directors – here's wishing the best to new Artistic Director Sarah Benson.
2. Richard Foreman: Pretty much annually since 1968, Richard Foreman has been creating his unique, smart, intellectual works for the stage. It wouldn't seem like January without a new work from Foreman. I've seen everything he's done since I've Got The Shakes, often numerous times, and wouldn't dream of missing one.
3. Wooster Group: Elizabeth LeCompte, Kate Valk and the other artists of The Wooster Group have created some of the most innovative works of theater you could ever wish to see. Precisely executed and superbly designed pieces that are unforgettable.
4. Pavol Liska: Pavol Liska is certainly at the forefront of the next generation of GREAT theater artists in the tradition of Richard Foreman and The Wooster Group. I was hooked on Liska from the very first piece of his a saw, Train Station – presented as part of the Ontological-Hysteric Theatre's Blueprint Series – and have seen almost everything he has done since. He is finally starting to get the wide recognition he deserves.
5. NYTheatre.com: NYTheater.com just celebrated their 10th anniversary. I love Martin Denton's mission to support emerging theater artists by covering work that may otherwise go without any media coverage. It is one of the sites I check on a daily basis, often just to browse what is currently happening or what will be coming soon off-off Broadway.
6. FringeNYC: Also celebrating a 10th anniversary, I love the New York International Fringe Festival for the palpable energy it creates around NYC Theater each August, allowing hundreds of (mostly) young theater artists a chance to create theater affordably.
7. OBIE Awards – Awards without nominations alone makes the OBIE Awards special. Looking over a list of past OBIE winners is incredible ; it's like a who's who of everyone important in NYC theater.
8. Michael Feingold – Michael Feingold is the smartest theater critic currently working. I feel as though I'm smarter myself after reading his essays for the Village Voice. I love how he can review two works that seem completely different and find the unimagined commonalities.
9. PS122 – For over 20 years, PS122 has been the home to NYC most important independent performers and theater companies. From performers like Ethyl Eichelberger and Spaulding Gray to Karen Finley and Tim Miller and companies like Big Art Group, Elevator Repair Service and Radiohole, PS122 has played an important role in the history of alternative theater.

Enviro-friendly & Cost Effective Business Cards
I eat cereal everyday. I eat it for breakfast, sometimes as a midnight snack and truth be told - I've had it for dinner.
As an avid (up)cycler, I am interested in creating new stuff from discarded stuff. As a graphic designer, I love the colours and shapes that can be found on cereal boxes.
There are a few things I do with my old cereal box card - this is by far the easiest!
You need:
- a paper cutter with a sharp blade (an x-acto will work, the cutter is just quicker/easier)
- stamp of your choice (I use this stamp kit so I can change my stamp when needed)
- cereal box card
- Unfold the cereal box (tear along glued edges) and cut the front and back panel out (be sure at least one of your edges is straight).
- Trim the box card into business card sized pieces (3.5 inches x 2 inches). Pay attention to the images and shapes that will end up on your cards. You may not use ALL of the original image - you want your cards to look funky and fun!
- Stamp your info on the "back" of your fab cards! Your name and web address should do the trick. Have fun!
- Hand out your fabulous enviro-friendly and cost-effective business cards!

There is still time to make a hanging basket. Indeed, in this part of Britain, you wouldn't be wise to put a basket out before June. Line a wire basket with sphagnum moss. I put an opened out cellophane bag (say a freezer bag) over the moss. Make some holes in the bag. Almost fill the basket with compost. Now comes the fun bit...add your own choice of plants. I usually choose plants such as geranium, bacopa, surfinia and verbena. We'll have another look at it when there is some colour to show you.

Tick Prevention for English Bulldog
How to Prevent Your English Bulldog from Dog Ticks
May 14, 2013 | Dog Ticks Prevention | By British Bully
Dog ticks are the the most vicious dog`s enemies. And English Bulldogs are the most liable pets to dog tick bites because of regular walking outdoors. So, let`s find out how you can prevent your favoutite from tick biting.
What necessary measures can you take to protect your pet, which can`t tell about its problems?
Dog ticks constitute a real danger especially in spring-summer and autumn period, when the air temperature reaches the point of 5 degrees above zero. Modern dog tick prevention doesn`t guarantee the full safety of your English Bulldog. That`s why, you need to pay a carefull attention on your Bulldog health.
Tick bites can become deathful for English Bulldogs. There are a lot of woods and fields in Great Britain - so it is a real paradise for insects and the most favorable conditions for reproduction of ticks. Deep grass and bushes are the right places, where your pet can catch ticks on its wool. So, if you want to protect your favourite, then you need to provide pet vaccination and to process your Bulldog with antimite remedy before each walk.
Initial symptoms:
From the moment when tick bites on dog till the initial symptomes passes about a week. All this time your Bulldog looks healthy and vigorous. But a process of tick reproduction and destruction of erythrocytes in blood takes place at the same time.
In a day or two the dog becomes apathic, inactive and unsociable. So, watch for your English Bulldog behaviour. If you offered your pet his favourite dog bone and it only wags its tale flabbily and looks at you with sad eyes - it is the first signal for alarm.
The most common symptoms of dog health problems, caused by dog ticks are the next:
You can look through the Best Vets UK list and get the whole information about English Bulldog care and treatment from the approved dog vets.
If you don't visit a vet in time, your Bulldog will most probably die. And if your favourite is coped by miracle with this desease by its own efforts, it still needs to be surveyed. After all, ticks can do harm to Bulldog internals. Remember, that earlier infected and recovered pet can have a recurrence. Therefore, keep a watchful eye on your Bulldog for some time.
Tick prevention:
It is easier to prevent this illness, than to treat it. If there is an opportunity, walk your Bulldog not in the wood, but on a country site. Before walking a dog on a site it is necessary to cut off a grass (with a grass-mower or a scythe) and to remove unbearing bushes. Bushes are the most dangerous places for your Bulldog, after all, tick slugs hide there. The slug feels a warm-blooded animal and clings to his wool. After this "strengthening" the slug bites English Bulldog, bringing in his body of substance, which slows down a fibrillation. Babeziya also get to this moment with a saliva in an organism. Babezia are cell parasites, which strike erythrocytes of Bulldog`s blood.
How to save English Bulldog from "bloodsuckers"
After each walk it is necessary to examine your pet, do it very carefully, without passing any site of dog`s skin. Be specially careful when look through hard-to-reach places armpits, neck, auricles, perinea region, anus and, of course, don`t forget about Bulldog wrinkles.
If you didn't manage to remove all dog ticks, you will easily notice them after a while (in two-three days) because ticks, having drunk Bulldog blood, will start being inflated and will repeatedly increase in sizes. Examine your English Bulldog very attentive. If you have found parasites, visit UK vet immediately and he will prescribe you the right dog tick treatment. Consult a dog vet about your Bulldog care, the elimination of consequences and ask him about dog multivitamins, which help your Bulldog to be strong and healthy all the time.
Take care of your dog health and you will have a faithful friend for many years!

President Obama's now famous "empathy" criterion for appointments to the Supreme Court is, in my opinion, nothing more than a veiled reference to a personal philosophy of liberalism. In fact, I think it is diametrically opposed to the kinds of qualities a judge should embody.
Judges are the voice of the law. And the law is incapable of empathy. Empathy is a personal quality that inevitably veers from the law. The very reason we have law is to avoid situations where empathy dictates how society should respond to a situation. The law is what it is: solid, stable, unwavering, unflinching, impartial, no respecter of persons. The law ensures that empathy does not pervert justice.
As Ann Coulter has recently pointed out, empathy is often selective. And I think that is necessarily so. Minorities will likely empathize more easily with other minorities, women with other women, white men with other white men, and so forth. That fact is simply human nature.
And that is precisely why we have the law. The law does not recognize skin color or gender (or, perhaps I should say that ideally it should not). The law does not cater to one group or another. The law does not empathize. It simply pronounces. And the reason justice is blind is because the law pronounces the same for every kind of person. It gives no preference to one group or another.
Apparently, the President's nominee for the next Supreme Court vacancy, Sonia Sotomayor, is an empathetic person. In fact, she is so empathetic that she is quite confident that a Latina is, overall, a bit more capable than a white man at rendering good judgments. Her empathy even extends far enough to deny qualified firefighters a promotion that they earned because the promotion would not have included any black firefighters who did not earn the promotion. Liberal empathy for the minority often results in discrimination against the majority. And this is unjust. Reverse racism is still racism. And if Judge Sotomayor were a white man who had said the kind of thing about Latinos that she, a Latina, has said about white men, she would have no chance, absolutely none, at Senate confirmation.
She is obviously a gifted, intelligent woman with a long list of impressive accomplishments. But that kind of intellect in the service of a warped idealogy is doubly dangerous. Darth Vader was so scary not just because he was directed toward the Dark Side, but because he was so darn good at what he did: his command of the Force was masterful. A top notch intellect, saturated with liberal empathy, is probably the worst combination for the Supreme Court. People like Judge Sotomayor can pervert justice and subvert the Constitution with enough intellectual prowess to make it look and sound eminently reasonable, at least to the person who has not ears to hear.
UPDATE: Charles Krauthammer and I apparently think alike, although he obviously thinks more deeply and clearly, and he expresses himself so much better (though I promise I did not read his column before writing the above). Read his column especially for the details it provides about what Frank Ricci, one the firefighters denied a promotion for which he qualified, went through in order to get that promotion. Thankfully, Ricci and his fellow firefighters still have hope that the Supreme Court will likely find in their favor. And, ironically (as Krauthammer points out), Judge Sotomayor will then shortly join the Supreme Court, the very body that will have overturned her previous ruling.

Sports mascots are always getting into shenanigans of some sort, and usually it's entirely of their own doing. However, back in 1997, Mr. Met was hit with some rather strong words of advice during a Bill Clinton visit to Shea Stadium. Mr. Met, who was played by current ESPN writer A.J. Mass during the mid 1990s, recently talked about the time Clinton came to Queens for the 50th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the MLB color barrier. And apparently, he was given a very direct order from the secret service.
According to Mass, an agent approached him during Clinton's visit and told him, "Like I said, do whatever it is you normally do. Nobody will bother you. But approach the president, and we go for the kill shot. Are we clear?"
Whoa! If we were Mr. Met, we'd say we were crystal clear. Like, if Clinton is by home plate, we'd be in the bullpen. Anyone else catch a little jab before the threat, too? "Do whatever it is you normally do." As in, do your carney routine as usual? Maybe we're just reading too deeply into it, but the threat of death by sniper round will make you think a little.
