If, like mine, your dog is not a cold-weather breed, there are still ways to enjoy the snowy months. Here's a list of great products that I really use to help Mojito survive until spring.
A cozy bed
…or five. Mojito and the cats have beds in every room of our home (yes, even the bathroom). Their favorites are cuddler beds like Slumber Nests. We also have a heated PetSafe Wellness Sleeper that, when plugged in, is the most popular spot in the house (see photo).
Boots like Muttluks keep snow and ice from getting stuck between toes, as well as offering protection from freezing pavement and potentially dangerous ice melt chemicals. Mo has been known to refuse to put a paw outside without them. (Read a post about our first try at dog boots.)
Sweaters and Coats
Dogs that are shorthaired (or no haired, like Mo) will appreciate an extra layer against snow and wind. It's great to pull a coat off inside the door and have a nice dry dog underneath, too. This season, one of your warmest options is the plush Velveteen Striped Hoodie — I was so impressed with them that Mo has one of both colors.
Piddle Pads
We have a seldom-used second exterior door that is enclosed by a lean-to. On the worst of the wintry days, we learned to drop a Piddle Pad in the corner of the lean-to and ask Mo to do his business out there, saving us both the trip into the storm; a great option for small or elderly dogs! If you really want to get fancy, check out the Pet Loo.
Doggie doormat
To keep the outdoors where it belongs, Mo has his own "Wipe Your Paws" doormat just inside. We've taught him to go straight there and wait, so as not to track mud or melting snow all over the floors. He then gets his boots and coat removed, and only then is free to dash off to where he'd rather be: the sofa.
Joint Care
Dogs with arthritis or other joint conditions can feel worse in damp and cold weather, just like people. Mojito has luxating patellas, so we're sure to give him all the support we can with Joint Care 3. The Chewable form is by far the easiest to use — I either crumble it over his food or use one as a treat reward.
Odor removers
This one is for us outnumbered humans in the house. I like to regularly wash everyone's bed covers with Nature's Miracle, and keep upholstery and rugs fresh with AllergenSpray.
Treats and Toys
Okay, these are year-round use! But when weather is inclement, there are options to have some indoor fun. Treat toys like the Occupi get Mo thinking and moving, as well as games of "hide and seek" with Liver Snax hidden about the room. Skinneez toys are also scattered all over the house — both the cat-sized and the Minis.

A retired sheriff's deputy plans to challenge Sheriff John McMahon for San Bernardino County's top cop job.
Clifton L. Harris of San Bernardino, who last worked for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, said that even though it's a big challenge, he's ready and raring to fight for equality and safety for all citizens of the county.
From 1976 to 1990, Harris, 63, worked his way up from jailer to investigator in the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department before moving to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department for another eight years.
"After I retired, I continued to be involved in law enforcement one way or another," Harris said in a phone interview. "I think by getting away from it you have the opportunities to see where the holes are and how to better the community."
When Harris retired in 1998, he worked to get teaching credentials and has taught criminal justice over the years.
Harris earned a bachelor's degree in business from the University of La Verne. That, coupled with his law enforcement background, teaching and business experience and community relationships with all ethnic groups, makes him believe he's qualified to be sheriff.
Harris publishes a weekly newspaper — The San Bernardino American News — and is a private investigator.
He said he recently read the vision/value statement of the Sheriff's Department and thought "something very important is missing."
"There is no mention of the Constitution and the protections guaranteed to all citizens," he said.
Harris said that time and time again the position of sheriff is handed down when the job becomes vacant. He wants to change that.
"We are all equal as citizens with rights," he said. "The difference is those with power and money take advantage of the system and force their will on those of us less fortunate. This is blatantly wrong and we must break the cycle in San Bernardino County."
If elected, Harris vows to end the favoritism, cronyism and nepotism that he believes has plagued the county agency for decades.
"I'm aware of educated members of the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department consistently passed over for promotions, while those less prepared are promoted," he said. "Such unfair treatment of employees will stop if I'm elected sheriff."

Temple Stadium Philadelphia Pa 5/16/70 - PART II of III
OK - I just re-read this and dearly want to hit the delete button. But maybe I'm a bit like 1 or 2 of you & hopefully I'll not take such a big hit for being "out there". I've never discussed my feelings about this, my sweetest passion ever, with anyone else but myself in 38 years, except for my wife Sheri, so I'm privileged & thankful to have you guys here that I don't know, but know so well, to share this with. I was a child when I saw Jimi that day, but I didn't come home as one . . . . Read on - If you dare. Sorry in advance - for the length.
Peace out.
We had spent the better part of an hour going over the "after concert" plans with little Jeff's dad, as he dropped us off at Temple. We were going to meet him at 10pm about a half mile away at the Cedarbrook Mall in front of Korvette's (a now defunct dept store). In fact Temple Stadium is now sadly gone also. His last words to us, "Don't make me wait. I have things to do early tomorrow."
So, the sun is almost down, stars are coming out, Steve Miller is hitting the stage, probably around 9:00pm, I'm feeling MUCH better, so Little Jeff turns to me and says, Steve, don't forget my dad's picking us up at 10 o'clock. He'll kill me if we're late. Jeff there's no way I'm leaving until this is over. He's telling me, Steve I'll get killed. So I said, Well go meet him then & tell him I'll get home myself. (HOW I wished now, he'd just had gone) . . . . But he was worried about me, and I suspect he was a tad horrified to be tripping alone in a car with his father . . . Big Jeff was on my other side-GONE. Tilt sign under his eyelids. Huge smile, like a grizzly on V's, Totally immersed in the day, as I was.
I was never-ever into the San Francisco scene.
I was listening to The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Zappa, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Nazz . . . This music took me to places in my soul that I believe some people have never ever been to - or even knew existed. A possible creation point of all things dream-able, a place where ALL things are possible. The SF thing just meant nothing to me. I mean no disrespect. It was just my perception at the time. People dropping Acid & putting on Dead records for hours on end and when the entire day was over they'd turn to each other, slowly, and proclaim "WOW man". What a thrilling way to spend a day . . . . . I hung at plenty of my friends "happenings" (I was a couple years behind them-I always hung with older people) and more often than not, at the end of the day, other than the warmth of having spent time with friends, I basically came out of it as a day wasted I'll never have back. This is because I was learning to play and almost always had my 62 Stratocaster in my hand. I missed her whenever we were apart. I know I'm nuts, but this was very personal to me - & I'm just setting up my day at Temple. This was the most important day in my life. I was 15 and I was going to see a man who took me to Atlantis and brought me home "safely" with nothing but a guitar in his hands. And a little help from his friends.
I never consciously rejected the SF music scene. It just, at the time, bored me to tears. Some of the SF bands music truly transcended to wonderful places that exist only in the other world. Those songs are as beautiful to me as the day I 1st heard them. Lather, Wooden Ships, ALL CSN&Y songs, Box of Rain, lots of Workingman's Dead, even later Quicksilver, but I just could never embrace the "scene". It just seemed to me like a hoard of people with no place to go & nothing to do, so they all just did "it" together. I always thought Steve Miller was one of those that left SF behind . . . . . .
So his band is on stage and out of the PA comes the 1st familiar music I'd heard all day. They were sooo good. But just the same, as every song ended, I was dearly hoping it was his last one. By time they played Livin' in the USA I was in a spectacular groove. Friends we'd met & hung with all day were coming & going - always with a smile & a hug. The only problem I was having at this point, was keeping my concentration. Tripping never ever posed this specific problem for me again, but this was Hendrix. Fucking HENDRIX ! ! And I knew this day would come, and I finally made it! And I had planned to study every single fingering to take home with me, every single move, every expression in his eyes, in his lips, even his posture, and I was so fucked up. Every time I finally talked myself down, the concentration expended for the task actually brought on another wave, each more intense than the last. It was like, "Here we go again!" But I was finally starting to have a lot of fun. So, when little Jeff started on me again. . . . Steve, my dad's probably already waiting for us and it almost takes a half hour to walk . . . . I snapped & said Leave me the fuck alone dude. Go tell your father I'll get home myself and get the fuck out! I had already made plans to stay over big Jeff's that night anyway and as B.J. just stood there with that big grin on his face (I was so jealous) I knew he was with me & we'd be just fine. I'd been thru a lot of shit w/ L.J. though & loved him like a brother, so I apologized and asked what he wanted to do. Make your decision-now, and let it go. I don't have the energy for this, but I have to stay. So he was in. He was gonna see Hendrix with me! I believe he's still thanking me - wherever he may be . . .
So about 10-10:30 Steve Miller is done. I have no clue if he did an encore. I'd probably guess no & would probably be wrong. . . .
All I know is, a good 45 mins later, the entire stage is completely stripped of all things irrelevant to Jimi Hendrix, and nothing, including ANYTHING I just recalled in the last 20,000 words (or less :-) meant anything to me. IT WAS TIME. All previous memories and anxieties of the day are quickly turning to gray for now. But Jimi Hendrix is nowhere to be found. Little Jeff is trying his best to stay off my case, but it's already after 11pm & he's simply freaking. I then eliminated all thoughts about my 2 best friends from my life as I realized in a short time Jimi Hendrix would be there. The same Jimi Hendrix that left a crowd at Monterey gawking, without any words to say. And yet, a different Hendrix. A grown up Jimi. A Hendrix that about 6 days before had given us the "Band of Gypsy's" LP . . . I already knew every note of that sweet sweet record. The intro to Power of Soul from that record left me in a cold sweat & I had never heard anything like it. Just as I had felt after the 1st 20 or so listenings of Electric Ladyland, Axis: Bold As Love before it, and Are You Experienced before that one. There was no humanly way to coax music like that out of a 6 stringed instrument. And the man who had unlocked the key was on his way!
The announcer kept coming on saying Jimi was on his way, so everybody roared. But nobody showed. The crowd in its frustration began to push forward. There had once been a rope barrier about 10 ft in front of the stage which gave its life at that point. We were now being pushed up against the stage. I was about 15 ft back. So the MC announced that Jimi was here but he "can't" come on until we move back. Word filtered back, supposedly from a roadie, that Hendrix, in fact had not arrived yet and of course, in grand Philadelphia style the crowd largely ignored the MC & went ape shit. [Morons] So it went on like this for another 25 mins. All that mattered to me was this bullshit had to be cutting into Hendrix's playing time. And . . I was also discovering some interesting patterns forming on my hands I had never seen before. I was somewhat aware of Jimi's legal & band hassles from the interviews and knew he was on tour under a certain amount of duress. So I wondered for a moment if this place was endeared somehow to him, or was this just another date he wanted to "get it over with" and get out. I didn't have much of a chance to ponder this thought, because all of a sudden in mid thought, at about 11 or 11:30 out of nowhere some guy comes out and says . . . . . . . . .

Lilian's History Tales
Hello, I am Lilian Kennedy Brzoska.
Brzoska is my birth name. My glorious, musical daddy was a Polish Emigrant after being based here during the 2nd World War. My artistic mum hails from
in Perthshire. They met on a dance floor and loved one another through thick and thin, marrying in 1950. He naturalised after my younger sister Angela was born and took my mother's name, which at that time was Kennedy. We became The Kennedy Family, with relatives in Poland and our roots firmly anchored by the
River Forth
in Stirling.
This makes me a hybrid Being connecting Scotland with Eastern Europe in my cellular body and in my Heart. I was born below the
Wallace Monument
and feel Scotland in my bones. I currently live and work from an individual residence in
, in Scotland, though engaged in Co-creative Community Living experiments in Scotland and mainland Europe. I am a regular traveller between The Worlds, around Scotland, to Cathar areas, Catalonian France and Spain, Ireland, Stirling and Perthshire. I travelled around the world with my daughter when she was very young. I loved New Zealand, San Francisco, Disney World's Epcot Centre and all the places I stayed in Massachusetts. I delight in travelling. I think I travel in many dimensions, as well as on the physical plane and my gratitude overflows.
I belong to
The International Theosophical Society Edinburgh Lodge
and focus a seed group here in Kirkcaldy. I have been to many Theosophical Society International Conferences in Europe and truly appreciate the depth and beauty of the current members.
International in Scotland
is one of my beloved peer development projects. I teach Co-counselling and also have a care over the administration of the current
I have no car. This is a deliberate choice, made when my daughter was three. I enjoy buses, trains, other people's driving skills and their generousity. I.always appreciate a lift and celebrate sharing many wonderful car journeys. I would be happy to share driving but have no license, since lessons are so expensive and I have always used public transport. I think it is important. I celebrate having walked many miles engaging within the beauty of
I have a deep relationship with Mother Earth and believe Peak Oil solutions need to be implemented to ensure the survival of our air, our waters and our sanity.
I currently work as "Silver Birch Productions". I have a Trustee role with "Attention Fife". I have been their Volunteer Trainer and performance tutor/director/ arts skills provider. We have a holistic approach to our engagement with Families who have children diagnosed as having Attention Deficit disorders of many degrees. We suggest natural solutions, mineral supplements, homoeopathy and co-creative attention sharing, as alternatives to drugs.
I enjoy people of all ages, though not necessarily all people. I prefer meeting generous hearted explorers of Life, though I have spent many hours listening to the woes o' the mean-spirited curmudgeonly, in the hope of lifting their load and freeing their spirits to soar. I celebrate giving much attention to people engaged in transforming their difficult emotions.
I recognise the rights of all people to enjoy freedom of thought, expression and belief. I particularly enjoy the company of sparkly creative children who like laughing. I would like those who believe in hatred, violence and oppression to change their minds and stop physically, psychically and emotionally bullying the Peaceful Majority and the Planet's creatures, stealing her resources and poisoning her elements. Non-violent communication skills are therefore part of the skill base I offer as I share in co-creative workshops.
I enjoy playing with good Angels and working with the Tuathe de Danaan Nature Spirits Being. We communicate with All Beings here, to help us navigate this glorious Planet through her next stages of development, in the trust we'll not kill ourselves off before my deeply talented daughter has reached my age and manifest her dreams.
I love
wild Scotland
with a passion anchored through all time and space. I practise meditation, singing and dancing to work through all perceived hurt, to stabilise my ability to unconditionally love all beings, including myself. I am a Storyteller and a Writer of songs, Poems and ditties. I act, direct and design for "Silver Birch Productions" and " Miracle Productions " while engaging in " Miraculous Actions" with friends world-wide.
Blessed Be. Come. Let's see whether we can co-create miracles together.
I send Love to all Beings bravely incarnated on Earth at this very challenging exciting time.

This is me
This is the playground of Phillip Wong; a designer and photographer in Auckland, New Zealand. I take photos, post them here, and talk about them. Usually coherent, always original.

Modus Operandi
The world is a fascinating place without any need to dress it up. How else would you describe walking alongside Lake Taupo, New Zealand and passing a man wearing only a loosely buttoned business shirt, an adult nappy, and a pair of running shoes? Fascinating indeed.
While days aren't always this interesting, there are things that grab your attention where-ever you are. Whether you're drawn to a glorious sunset or a plastic bag stuck in a bush, capturing it is what it's all about. Work quickly because it might all disappear infront of your eyes. And don't discount the resulting image because the histogram isn't perfect or the sharpness is a little lacking. Photos are a record and if it's able to reproduce the mood or feeling of the time, it might just be a keeper.
The Importance of Equipment
My first ever experience of photography was as an 11 year old taking photograms in science class. An observant teacher saw I was quite interested in what we were doing and allowed me to take home the chemicals and some photographic paper for a short while to keep playing with. In that time, I raced around the family shop with a make-shift pinhole camera taking random shots of the place. I set up a crude processing area in a small room (approx. 1m x 2m) where we grew alfalfa and bean sprouts. The only thing I needed to buy was a red light bulb. Developing the images was a very basic once through the developing solution, once through the fixer (I was always impatient with this step and paid the price but, hey, I was 11), and once through a water wash. The end result: it's amazing what you can produce from a tin-can with a pin hole in one end, a piece of photographic paper at the other, and a bit of enthusiasm to hold it together.
Many of the most celebrated photos of all time were made decades ago from cameras that weren't that much more complex than a pinhole. There's a pretty good chance then that you too can capture the moment with whatever full-frame, enthusiast, point and shoot, or mobile phone that you have.

Shells at Matarangi. In the last few days the sea has been rough enough to tear up the sea bed and toss up shells by the bucketload.
The following is part of a comment I left on Phyllis's, The Easts Head West, most recent post.
"Reading all the comments is so heartwarming. What a great bunch of people we have come to know in this new age of communication. extra addition - I'm sorry there is not always enough time or energy in a day to comment on all I read. Do you think I have too many Blogs on my reading list? There is another complication that goes with chronic fatigue .... brain fudge, which leaves me with no energy to think, write or type. I can assure you though, that if I follow your Blog I read almost every post.
I'm so glad we both have our faith in God to see us through the difficult days. Days when we wish it was all over and days when we dread that we will no longer have our mothers. Days when difficult decisions must be made and days when we are exhausted by all that goes with seeing that our mothers get proper care balanced with maintaining our own lives as well as we can.
Like you I have a wonderfully supportive husband. John brings me back to reality when I want to run away. Last night I came home to a warm house and dinner almost ready to go on our plates. That's true love."
From Simpsons Beach late afternoon sun catches Shakespeare Cliff. This is a historic landmark named by Captain Cook on his first voyage to New Zealand. It is probably named after a part of the White Cliffs of Dover.
Yesterday went smoothly. The drive there and back which is a chore was made lighter when determined to sing and praise my God most of the distance. The lady who comes in as Mum's carer is young enough to have the energy but mature enough to get on well with Mum and meet her needs appropriately. She told Mum she has been married 19 years. She must have been a child bride as my guess would have put her in her early 30s. She has a slight English accent so that pleases Mum too.
Mum wasn't feeling great but most of that was down to the gout pills.Her wrist had been aching for a few days and since she'd been doing some writing we put it down to that. But then it really flared up with the full blown pain and heat of gout. Mum takes a fairly massive dose of Furosemide, (Lasix), a diuretic, to prevent a build up of fluid from around her heart. This in turn provides a perfect climate for acid build up and gout. The gout pills make her feel quite ill so she isn't interested in eating or drinking and we have to be on the ball with regular cups of tea and tempting food. Making sure she drinks enough is imperative and we also give her electrolytes from time to time.
Pretty reflections from the sunset, remember we are on the east coast. The brisk walker in silhouette is not me. I wish I looked so good.
I have added the photos from my walks at the beginning of the week. Today might stay rain free for long enough since I missed out yesterday I will be disappointed if I miss today as well.
My plan to treat bread and baked goods as an indulgence seems to be working. Both our daughter and daughter-in-law are working at weight loss. We can encourage each other although I feel the need to be very sensitive where Jay is concerned as she can be very touchy with me. I understand that. My mother can trigger the opposite of what she intends in me too.
On a Hurray note. Mum gave me some cash on Wednesday for groceries I had purchased for her. I was so sure I'd put it in my bag but couldn't find it and because I've been functioning like a Zombie I couldn't imagine what I might have done with it. $30 means a lot to us and to displace it was distressing, especially when I began to think I'd posted it with Mum's letters or maybe it had gone out with the trash. This morning I followed what has become my normal morning routine, and got a cappuccino sachet out of the box and low and behold the $30 popped out too. Yay!
One day I will take the time to learn to put my photos through one of the editing thingies and straighten them up. I have come to the conclusion that as I press the button to snap I also tilt the camera. This result s in some hilariously tilted horizons and water running up-hill. Meantime they remain a record of the beauty around us.

From Norwich, United Kingdom:
As a 20 year old student at University, consultants at my clinic have always said my control is excellent. I have HbA1c's of around 4 to 6 over the last few years. On my last two visits, two separate consultants have said my daily intake of insulin (90 to 100 units per day) is more than a normal person produces. What if any, are the dangers or consequences of this in the long run? I appreciate it can send me into hypo's but this very rarely occurs and so I am wondering more about the long term effects to myself.
If you are comfortable with your weight/food intake, are not having multiple and/or severe hypos and have control as good as it sounds then you are on the correct dose of insulin for you. One issue may be unhealthy injection sites -- lumpy sites mean you need more insulin to get the same amount into your blood.

Rural & Agriculture
The Future Value of Land
- Details
It's long been a matter of common knowledge that the value of farmland far outweighs its productive capacity. However, certain commentators have been suggesting for some time now that the inflation seen in recent years in respect of the value of agricultural land is slackening.
In these uncertain times, more evidence is emerging post BREXIT strongly suggesting not only that inflation is at an end but in fact that land values are expected to drop over the next year.
The Land Reform
- Details
The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 was passed by the Scottish Parliament on the 17th March 2016. As most readers will be aware, the new Act contains many changes to the law of agricultural tenancies. These changes arise from the recommendations of the Agricultural Holdings Legislation Review Group to improve relationships between agricultural landlords and tenants and to increase the supply of let land. Many criticised the introduction of agricultural tenancy legislation into the Land Reform Bill which was originally meant to relate to wider land reform issues. The criticism centred on the fact that it would have been better if the recommendations had been introduced in a "standalone" Act drafted with sufficient time to give detailed thought to what are quite complex legislative changes and which would have received more detailed scrutiny.
Equestrian leases
- Details
I am occasionally asked whether or not giving a lease to someone for equestrian purposes creates an agricultural tenancy and I thought that it would be worthwhile explaining the legal position. Many landlords are concerned about granting a lease for these purposes thinking that it will give the tenant security of tenure and some equestrian tenants believe that they have an agricultural lease with all of the rights which that carries with it.
Land value fluctuations and tax planning
- Details
Most farmers are aware that in recent years the price of agricultural land has been far higher than one would expect if the value was directly related to the economic return which can be made from it. There have been many reasons for this of course, not least of all a shortage in the supply of land coming to the market as compared to previous years. However, other factors which have driven high values include the significant tax benefits which investing in agricultural land brings, including the potential to obtain relief on the value of the land at 100% for Inheritance Tax purposes.

Local residents will get their chance to learn about and comment on the proposed re-configuration of SR 66 around the village of Archbold.
The state and village will host an open house from 4-7 p.m. Nov. 15 at Northwest State Community College to give everyone a chance to see what is being proposed and how it will impact their properties.
There will be a chance for attendees to write down complaints, criticisms and comments. While some people would prefer a speaker and audience, the open house format is preferred.
"The study is under review in draft form and will be gone over," Dettling said. "This will be an open house, ODOT prefers it this way. It's better for one on one."
Each station will have a comments page and those comments will go into the draft and on the web page.
Dettling urged the council to attend a part of the event as the state needs to see the council there in "full force."
In other actions, the council:
Selected a contractor for Woodland sidewalk improvements.
The council selected Krueger Construction to do the work. The bid was for $18,331 and the engineer's estimate was $21,500. The village had only two bidders.
The work is to be completed by Dec. 1.
Approved transferring $500,000 from the income tax fund to the capital improvement fund.
Seeing it as a way to promote economic development, approved the formation of a Music Commission to plan, promote and implement music events.
The creation of a Music Scene came from Max Nofziger of Austin, Texas, who said it would be a way to improve downtown vitality, build the community and personal growth.
The council set aside $5,000 for the commission for 2017.

Minnesota consumers now have a new energy efficiency home improvement loan program that allows more people to access low-interest, unsecured loans and make important energy efficiency upgrades, thanks to a partnership of the Minnesota Department of Commerce and Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
The Commerce Department provided $1 million for a loan loss reserve that allows Minnesota Housing to lend up to $10 million through its Fix Up Loan Program for Minnesota homeowners to make home energy improvements. The loans will help pay for upgrades like new high efficient heating and air conditioning systems, new water heaters, insulation and air sealing, new light fixtures, and replacement windows. Homeowners who qualify may borrow up to $15,000 at a 4.99 percent interest rate without placing a lien on their property.
"This new loan program is a win-win for Minnesota: It strengthens the state's housing stock and saves energy, reduces carbon emissions, and creates jobs," said Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman. "It's an innovative collaboration of two state agencies combining resources to incentivize energy efficiency."
Minnesota Housing began offering the 10-year term loans in May; so far about 35 loans have been originated by lenders. The maximum loan amount is $15,000. Minnesota Housing expects that $10 million in available resources can fund 750 to 1,000 loans. The energy savings from the program will be measured over the course of the loan program.

Ode to the Joys of Student Housing
Yesterday, I was naturally minding my own business, when there was a knock on our door. When I got to it, there were some guys letting themselves in. Which really irked me, because usually always we get notice saying that people will be coming in our "unit" to fix or inspect something.
Not this time. These guys said they came to "fix" my wireless Internet box. I was suspicious but shrugged, whatever, I knew they were part of the school because I had seen them before.
I should have been even more suspicious when they borrowed one of my kitchen chairs to stand up on to get to the box. Then did they fix it? No! They pulled out some wire cutters and disconnected it, and took the box with them. What?! "What about my Internet?" I asked.
"Oh, we're just moving it. You should be able to get a signal. See ya!" And they left. I ran to my computer, and sure enough, no signal! I waited. And I waited. Still no signal. I felt like Cindy-Lou Who when the Grinch stole her Christmas tree!
When my husband came home, I snatched his laptop and walked around with it testing the signal. Good news and bad news:
Good news: I found a signal.
Bad news: I have to sit suspiciously close to my neighbor's wall.
Ben has tried to call the school about it, but I think they must have caller ID because they won't answer. I demanded to my husband that he make it work! After all, I do need to feed my addiction!
But as for now, I am wireless while my hubby is out. So if you don't hear from me, don't get mad, feel bad!

I found out about this story this morning when I stopped by your house. Ben informed me of the intruders. Oh man! I don't know which is more irritating... the fact that they just walked in before you answered the door or the result of your WiFi after they left. Both would be super irritating. I'd be calling big time. I wish you luck.
And I'm with "Our Family" on this... how am I supposed to have my laughs each morning without your blog? I'm gonna be sad and mad!

Already Represented?
Do you need a personal injury attorney and trial lawyer but are already represented? Or, are you now in the process of selecting a personal injury attorney?
If you are already represented, there are questions that you need to ask your current attorney.
Do not feel shy or intimidated, as the responses could impact your financial future and physical well being. If you are not satisfied with the responses, you are free to seek additional advice and Counsel.
- How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
- What are the different areas of your practice?
- How many personal injury cases do you currently have?
- How do I know that it is you that I am getting as my lawyer, and that my case will not be shuffled off to someone else?
- How many personal injury cases have you ever actually taken to jury verdict as lead lawyer?
- Most importantly, what is your win/loss record, with "win" being defined as obtaining a jury verdict in an amount greater than the highest amount of money that was offered by the insurance company to settle before trial, and "loss" being defined as obtaining a jury verdict in any amount less than what was offered by the insurance company to settle before trial?
- What are the strengths of my case, what makes it valuable?
- What are the weaknesses in my case, those things that potentially could reduce its value?
- What is my responsibility during the pendency of my case to help bring about the best possible result as opposed to your responsibility?
- Why would an insurance company be afraid of you, meaning why would the insurance company offer the most money possible to settle my case, rather than test you in a jury trial?
The law firm which represents you has lots of cases, and you only have one. If your lawyer isn't able to answer these questions, or does not want to answer these questions, what else isn't he or she telling you? If you need an attorney, ask me these questions. I will answer them and any other questions or concerns you might have. Better yet, here is my cell number, call me: 904- 607-8888.
So, ask your current lawyer, or ask me:
"Please tell me why I should hire you, that is, why is it in my best interest that you represent me in this case, as opposed to any other lawyer."

Machining of metals is to a great degree normal and the procedure is genuinely straightforward as well. Be that as it may, metals can't be utilized anyplace and all over. A basic case is the utilization of plastics. We as a whole know we can't utilize metal or steel utensils in a microwave stove. Plastics, then again, can be utilized effortlessly in microwaves and are viewed as more solid.
This request expands the requirement for aptitude in CNC plastic machining. It is an alternate procedure than embellishment of plastics which is done in much higher amounts. Machining of plastics is done particularly, for select ventures. Plastic is a delicate substance in nature, consequently, the setup additionally has an imperative impact in the machining procedure.
When managing a moldable substance like plastic, architects are confronted with many difficulties. These incorporate the uncommon shape that the plastic is to be machined into, close resistances that may influence the plastic, and low amounts to be delivered at once.
Expertly Machined Plastics are required for an assortment of clients in practically every industry. There are plastic parts required in fields like aviation, space, solution, power through pressure, gadgets and even food industry. This is on the grounds that machining bodes well than trim, as in the previous procedure, the many-sided quality of machining is lessened, which is particularly imperative for infusion shaping.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Rhode Island
A friend asked me if she could "borrow" an expensive rug. I was moving and was intending to put it in storage. I agreed not seeing the harm of my rug being in her home rather than a storage facility. That was over a year ago. I now am moving to a permanent address and asked for my rug. I told her I would pay for the rug to be moved. She refused saying she would return MY rug if and when she moved. I was outraged. I have the original sales slip, etc.
What recourse do I have?
Asked on 3/22/13, 11:22 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
Jonathan Whaley Whaley, Bowie & Bagley LLC
Your best course of action is to speak with an attorney and disclose all of the facts. The value of the rug, both monetary and sentimental, may be important. A lawsuit is possible, though it may not be necessary.

Awareness Month Alerts Public to Warning Signs of Rosacea
What at first may seem like an innocent blush or sunburn may ultimately foreshadow rosacea. April was designated Rosacea Awareness Month by the National Rosacea Society (NRS) to alert the public to the warning signs of this red-faced, acne-like condition that affects an estimated 14 million Americans.
"Rosacea is frustrating and baffling for so many people because its conspicuous signs and symptoms may not only come and go unexpectedly, but they can affect various individuals in ways few might imagine," said Dr. Richard Odom, professor of dermatology at the University of California - San Francisco. "Unfortunately, without treatment rosacea tends to become progressively worse -- and can have a substantial impact both physically and on people's emotional, social and professional lives."
In surveys by the National Rosacea Society, nearly 70 percent of rosacea patients said this condition had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem, and 41 percent reported it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements. Among rosacea patients with severe symptoms, nearly 70 percent said the disorder had adversely affected their professional interactions, and nearly 30 percent said they had even missed work because of their condition.
Rosacea usually first strikes between the ages of 30 and 60.1 For many people, it starts innocently enough, resembling a sunburn or an inexplicable blush. Suddenly, without warning, a flush comes to their cheeks, nose, chin or forehead. Then just when they start to feel concerned, the redness disappears.
Unfortunately, it happens again and again, becoming ruddier and lasting longer each time -- and eventually, visible blood vessels may appear. Without treatment, bumps and pimples often develop, growing more extensive over time, and burning, itching and stinging are common. In severe cases, especially in men, the nose may become enlarged from the development of excess tissue. This is the condition that gave comedian W.C. Fields his trademark red, bulbous nose.
In some rosacea sufferers, the eyes may also be affected, a condition known as ocular rosacea. An eye affected by rosacea may appear watery or bloodshot, and patients may experience eye irritation, burning, stinging, itching, dryness or even light sensitivity.
"The good news is that, while rosacea cannot be cured, it can be effectively controlled with medical therapy and lifestyle changes," Dr. Odom said. Individuals with any of the following warning signs of rosacea are urged to see a dermatologist or other physician for diagnosis and appropriate treatment:
- Redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead
- Small visible blood vessels on the face
- Bumps or pimples on the face
Watery or irritated eyes

The information the Society provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace
consultation with a qualified physician. The Society does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Rosacea may vary substantially from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. For more information, visit About Us.

Butterfly Dreams has two different pieces to it; the bullet and the massager.
The actual butterfly piece is made from TPR, which rates a 7/10 on the Eden material safety scale. It's made from food-grade material, is hypo-allergenic, latex free, phthalates free, and is unscented. TPR is a somewhat porous material that shouldn't be shared with others. If you're planning on sharing with someone else or another orifice, it can safely be used with a condom.
The massager is very flexible and soft, especially the wings, since they are the thinnest part of the piece. It contorts easily but still bounces back into shape. Like silicone, the material of this toy is a lint magnet. It picks up dust, hair, lint, even particles you didn't realize were around. It doesn't feel sticky to the touch, but it does have a lot of drag to it that's easily eliminated by adding some lubricant.
When the bullet isn't inside, there's a lot more flexibility than when it's in place. The shaft can be fully bent in half without it, but can't really bend at all while it's inside. If you're someone who prefers really soft toys, this would work best for you without the bullet inside.
The 'shaft' of the butterfly is totally smooth, without any type of texture to it. The face of the butterfly and tail end both have some to them, but probably not enough to be noticed while in use. This is great for someone who doesn't care for texture, but would probably be considered boring for someone who needs it.
The bullet is made from ABS Plastic which rates an 8/10 on the same safety scale. Both materials boast the same safety features; however, the ABS plastic is non-porous. The cap has a silver plating to it, but is also made from the same material. The bullet itself is totally smooth, has no texture to it, no drag, and is totally rigid.
The box this toy comes in claims that this toy is 'unscented'. While there normally would be some type of scent, even a 'new' smell to a toy, this one truly lived up to its claim. There was no smell when the box was opened.
Butterfly Dreams comes in three vibrant colors; purple, blue, and pink. This vibrator is designed to look like a butterfly, but also has a long 'shaft', unrealistically sized compared to it. The look of the butterfly itself even looks odd; more like a combination of a bird and a hornet with butterfly wings. It's truly a more artistic looking item than realistic.
The insertable 'shaft' on the butterfly isn't exactly phallic, but does have a slight upward curve to it that's designed to work well with your g-spot. The face of the butterfly (the part that resembles a bird) is made to connect with your clitoris, the bottom of the butterfly (the part that resembles a hornet) should connect with your perineum, and finally, the wings (the only area that actually does look like a butterfly) will provide a small amount of external stimulation. All of this depends entirely on your anatomy and how sensitive you are to vibrations.
The size of this toy is great for beginning toy users and those that prefer slimmer toys. The insertable area won't have enough girth for a size queen since it's only 3 1/4" in circumference, but someone who's never used toys would probably have a lot of success with this. The shape and overall size is also very agreeable for a beginner, and the artistic features make it a great choice for someone who doesn't care for the look of realistic toys.
The included bullet is all white in color, other than the silver plated cap. It's wider at the top (where the battery compartment is), but narrows to a rounded point, making it simple to insert it inside the hole on the back of the butterfly. The coloring and size make it look like it should be some type of applicator. It is longer and thinner than most standard bullets, being 3 3/4" long, though the hole inside the toy will fit most sizes.
Since the toy isn't large, hiding it is fairly easy. It should be kept in a closed container to protect the material, but it's small enough that it can be tucked into a nightstand drawer, dresser, toy box, etc. The look of the toy makes its intended use fairly obvious, so anyone who sees it will probably know what it is and what it's for. It could be carried around in a suitcase, backpack, or purse, but do keep in mind that the look of the toy itself isn't discreet.
The bullet functions using one AAA battery that's not included with the toy. Unscrew the battery cap, put the battery in plus side down, screw the cap back on, and the bullet is ready to go! Where the cap meets the bullet there's a small rubber ring. This is what makes the bullet waterproof. Always make sure that the cap is screwed on tightly to avoid any water from accidentally leaking into the compartment.
The bullet has three different vibration intensities; low, medium, and high. There's no variety in pattern, only a difference in the power each setting puts out. There's only one button on the toy, and it controls all the functions. This button is located on the top of the cap. When you press it once it brings you to the lowest setting. As you start to press it for a second time the vibration stops. It sort of pauses in between each setting. The second press bring you to the medium setting, and a third press brings you to the highest. A fourth click turns the toy off, and cycling through the settings is the only way to power off the toy. The bullet doesn't hold your setting, and holding in the button will only pause the vibrations; it won't turn the toy off. The power button is in a convenient location, making it easy to change the function, even while it's in use!
Even on the highest setting, the vibrations aren't all that powerful. It would be acceptable for someone who's sensitive to vibrations, but would disappoint someone who needs powerful toys in order to take them over the edge. On top of the toy not being super powerful, it is fairly loud. When used inside the toy it is a little more muffled, but can still be heard through a closed door. If you need toys that are quiet because of your living situation, than this might not be the best choice. However, since the hole in the back of the butterfly is a standard size, most bullets will fit inside, making it easy to replace this loud one with another that will work better for you. Whether you use the included bullet or replace it with one of your own, using a small amount of lubricant inside the hole helps it to slip in and out effortlessly!
The material of this toy is very easy to care for. Before and after each use, make sure to clean with anti bacterial soap and warm water or your favorite toy cleaner. Simple as that. Since TPR can't be sterilized by boiling, make sure to use a condom if you plan on sharing with another partner or between orifices.
TPR can be used with both silicone and water based lubricants.
Since the material of this toy is like a magnet to dust and hair, it's important to keep it stored in a plastic bag or small container to prevent it from getting dirty during storage. It's small enough that it would fit easily in a quart sized Ziplock bag, or you can always use the packaging that the toy comes in.
Like all Cal Exotics' packaging, this toy comes in a thin cardboard box that lacks discretion. The front and both sides of the box have full color images of the toy it contains. It has a small amount of information on the back, bottom, and sides. Though the box isn't discreet, it is tasteful in the sense that there's no nudity on it.
Inside the box, the toy comes in a clear plastic bag. The bullet is already inserted into the back of the butterfly, but will need to be removed in order to insert the battery. The only informational paper that's included with this toy is about battery insertion.
The box can be used as storage for the toy, or it can be broken down and recycled.


text: I have a Cambridge Soundworks subwoofer attached to my Mac Pro and has just been emitting intermittent static noise regardless of whether audio is being played through the system. The static only seems to affect the subwoofer and not the satellite speakers and continues even if the input volume is turned down on the unit and in OS 10.5.7. I have moved the power adapter to different outlets and away from other power cables but that has not made a difference. I have an APC battery backup unit about a foot away from the subwoofer, but it has been in a similar position for years without the static problem that recently began. Any suggestions?

I have been through some rough times. First Fessor Pro has been threatening me with this fat manuscript of uneven quality. It all climaxed one Thursday, with me surrounded with many steaming and burning pots and pans and spices, pushed into a corner by certain Paladin, who insists on teaching me the correct multifractal formalism. Everything in sight is boiling and burning and he is shoving at me pieces of paper covered with old computer code, between lines of which he scribbles integrals over tangent spaces (ie Lyapunovs), with q meaning Chicago tau, s(mu) meaning P(lambda), and everything Bowen-Ruelle-Sinai and indescribably rigorous. As I am nodding in exasperation I note that the spice which I am copiously pouring over the
brew is not sweet paprika, but cayenne, and so on and so forth.
So I fed them cous-cous and they loooooved it and so we proceeded to the Royal Ballet where all was all very cultured and deadly boring. And I am as good as dead. But Romeo and Juliet ballet was a good preview for what followed: we had a 5 (yes, five!) days of a superstrings symposium here, and I went to the lectures in the same spirit as to Romeo and Juliet; I wanted to see strings dead, I wanted to see them all die. But no, it is like Mercutio. He gets stabbed, he falls down and you think it is over. He gets up; dances and falls down. Over? No - here he hops up again, piruets and keels and falls over. And so it goes - on, and on, since Regge poles through duality through extended supergravities to this. When is the s#!t going to die? It is frightning - a whole bunch of bright kids seem set onto making this a life career; oh, die, please die gentle death! The world around us is asking us infinity of fascinating questions - do we have to lobotomize all this young talent?

Having previously co-directed at 2nd Star, Douglas assumes his first full-fledged 2nd Star directing assignment with this production. In his director's notes, Douglas recalls that he acted in this show for a year as a teenager.

There are no special dietary recommendations for people with duodenal ulcers, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Historical recommendations of bland diets and avoidance of fatty, acidic or spicy foods proved ineffective for people with ulcers. However, doctors advise that individuals experiencing irritation after eating particular foods should avoid those foods.
Treatment for duodenal ulcers generally relies on lifestyle modifications, such as smoking cessation, and medications to reduce symptoms and eradicate any H. pylori bacterium, which is a major cause of the duodenal ulcers, notes Johns Hopkins Medicine. Doctors prescribe antibiotics to kill off H. pylori, if present, and medicines that control or block the production of stomach acid. Some people with duodenal ulcers may benefit from the use of mucosal protective agents that protect the stomach from acid damage.
When medication and lifestyle changes are ineffective at controlling symptoms, doctors sometimes recommend surgery, reports Johns Hopkins Medicine. Surgical options include a vagotomy, which involves cutting parts of the vagal nerve that sends messages from the stomach to the brain, or an antrectomy, which removes the antrum, which is the lower part of the stomach that produces the hormone responsible for the stomachメs ability to secrete digestive juices. Surgeons use another procedure, a pyloroplasty, to enlarge the small intestine so that food can pass more efficiently from the stomach.
