My Date With Janice, and Liza- A Tale of "Sturm and Drang"
If your date wows you with a show that contains a struttin', beltin', diva... By all means, go, and have a ball, but...
Take pause. 'Cos there just might be a few things stirring in the wind.
Anyway, picture this, Summer 1977. Janice and I, a couple of fresh faced 18 year old's, go downtown on a date.
Janice and I were tight high school friends having slugged through Thespians and a severely mauled senior class production of "Our Town" in high school. (I missed my queue which caused us to cut out nearly a third of the show.)
So we decide to go on a date.
It all started well enough. I grabbed my dad's putput Cortina (a beater of a car) and Janice and I whisk off to a night on the town. We are dressed to the nines. I think I was wearing my overlapelled powder blue polyester Homecoming suit with matching platform shoes. Janice bedazzled in her pink chiffon dress and disco sandal pumps.
We were south suburban kids from Midlothian so we head up I-57 to the Dan Ryan up to the Near North Side for dinner at the Pinnacle on top of the Holiday Inn (now the W). It was a wonderful dinner (except for some really sucky shrimp cocktail) in the revolving restaurant overlooking Lake Shore Drive at Ontario. It cost a goodly chunk of my Jewel stock boy's salary but we were livin' it up.
Actually, I was too intimidated to complain about the Shrimp Cocktail.
From there we headed downtown to the Shubert (now the restored Lasalle Bank Theatre). I had landed us some nice mezzanine tickets for the Liza Minnelli's Broadway bound work in progress called "Shine It On", soon to be renamed "The Act".
The show was a dazzler with Liza delivering a whole host of Kander and Ebbs. "Shine it On", "City Lights" and the slightly dirty "Arthur in the Afternoon". I still have the Original Cast Recording on LP. (You can also sample the music by clicking here if my YouTube clip below has fed your appetite.
Also, kids that we were, we were startled to find that her leading man was none other that Mark Goddard, better known as Major Don West from "Lost in Space"! (BTW, did you know he is related to Robert Goddard, the father of rocket technology?)
We had a great time. Post-show we returned to the car as a thunderstorm moved into the area and headed back down the Dan Ryan, Midlothian bound.
As luck would have it. I had just maneuvered the car into the express lanes when strange noises started emanating from the engine. Gradually I note that I can no longer keep up with traffic. The poor Cortina was ailing.
We made it as far 43rd street when the car completely died. In a ferocious thunderstorm, in the inner express lane shoulder, in the heart of the ghetto.
Me: "I need to call my dad to come get us. I'll go up to that gas station and call him."
Janice: "You can't leave me here! I'm coming with you."
Me: "Are you sure you want to do that? It's really a mess out there"
Janice: "Are you friggin' kidding me? You can't leave me alone in the car. What if 'somebody' comes!" She had a point, the ghetto was much rougher in those days. And our suburban white bread breeding screamed we have to stick together.
So together, in the pouring rain we hop over the express lanes divider and scramble across the local lanes to the embankment leading up to the gas station. For those of you who don't know the Dan Ryan expressway was dug down into a trench through the city's south side. We now had to climb up the muddy, soaked, embankment to reach our targeted pay phone.
So we climb, crawl actually, in our respective heels, up the muddy slope and reach the phone.
And so I call and...
There's NOBODY HOME!!!!!! I FORGOT!!!!! My parents were off to the campground for the weekend and unreachable. And none of our friends were home either.
So Janice had to call home and wake her parents to come save us. Not particularly fitting into the neighborhood we decide that they will fetch us from the car. So back down the embankment we descend, slide, and tumble. Back across the local lanes, over the divider, back to the car, dedraggled, drenched and soiled, to await the parental rescue.
And the wait, began. We laughed, we cried. And were the duly retrieved 45 minutes later by Janice's slightly annoyed parents. Yes, they both had to make that trip to see the sight of us! I think, now, they were quite bemused at our failed coifs and muddied garments. So homeward bound we were, slumped in the back seat, as the smells of wet 70's synthetics wafted about us.
Deeply scarred, I rarely ventured again into the dating pool.

Award winning singer, composer, actress Ann Hampton Calloway, welcomes her old friend, iconic Oscar winner, Liza Minnelli and pianist/composer Billy Stritch. Ann and Liza sing together and separately, reminisce and share fascinating insights on artistry and performance.
I caught this debut epsisode last night. (Thanks, Mike & Steve for the heads up). The show is way to0 short at only an half hour. But there is an absolutely stunning duet between these dazzling divas of "Stormy Weather" that is not to be missed.

If this were only true . . . do you think O'Reilly would still be alive? Don't ya think these dozens of lesbian gangs would have hunted him down, sliced off his genitals, and force-fed them to Michael Vick as his own special dog treats?
And the Big "O" on the other side of the fence (my side) has a field day with it. And who can blame him? Maybe Michael Moore's next big film should be "Lesbian Gangs From Outer Space!"
More proof of O'Reilly's incompetence as a "journalist." What a fear-mongering douche bag.

Of Blue Hairs and Honeysuckle
My mother said, "She died last year." (Meaning my friend's mother.)
Aunt Kitty said, "Who died?"
Mother said, "Jean Killian."
"She died last week?"
"No, Kitty, she died last year."
"I didn't know that."
"Well, Kitty, you went to the funeral."
After a pause, my aunt said "I didn't go to any funeral last week."
And so the weekend went, whether traveling in The Blue Hair Express or sitting in a living room the world was small and getting smaller. Defined by diminished physical capacity, intrusions by others to accomplish daily tasks, the loss of all friends, it was confining and restrictive for me. The days were humid, the pace glacial and the nights welcome. In the evening, when the scent of honeysuckle blew through the open windows on night breezes, the pace was more in sync with the world of the Blue Hairs. People sat, relaxed in the heat, and told stories with that distinctive southern rise and fall in cadence. There is a natural harmony with the night as old age progresses. Edging closer to bedtime, slowing down evermore as that hour approaches. Their daylight is the well remembered past, when children played and bodies were strong.
My niece was also there with her newborn daughter. Cradling it, hovering like the first time mother she is. It is incomprehensible to me that a child would be born in this world. The future of that generation is bleak beyond words. When Marx said capitalism would destroy itself, he couldn't have imagined it would destroy the entire planet. His dream was too big to encompass the punitive and cowardly spectre of total destruction. The property we now fight for is oil, the bodies of women, the ideas of long dead gods. That generation will fight over water, air, and who knows what bodies, living or dead. It seems to me the flow of things is day into night with those approaching their final hours finding refuge and pleasure in the memories of their days. That cannot be the future.

Vitter Epilogue
I would have no comment or opinion, and would be personally offended on your behalf, if you lived by the same rules.
Heck, I even think prostitution should be legal, if regulated.
However, if your mouth and your laws keep invading my private space and my civil rights based on your supposedly superior sense of morality, I fully expect for the full court press to come down on your pathetic ass when your house of cards comes tumbling down.
I'll shut up now.
Tucker Carlson Has a Hissy Fit While Defending David Vitter
Tucker Carlson is both stupid and a dick. Its is the hypocrisy you blithering idiot.
And remind me, Mr. Standard-Keeper-Of-Press, just what were your impeccable standards 9 or so years ago? Oh. I see. That was different. It wasn't one of your own. IMHO, that makes YOU, TC, a slimy little steamer.
Wendy Vitter - A Star Is Born????
Shorter Wendy: "Hello everybody, This is Mrs. David Vitter."
"Oh yes, And in keeping with my previous campaign promises, I shall remain married to this latest member of the castrati congressional boys choir. His version of the 'National Anthem' has improved remarkably"
When you build a career, or lend support to your husband's career, by moralizing on other peoples' bedrooms and then your own bedroom door pops open with some nasty revelations...
Why the surprise if people have something critical to say about what they see?

More On McCain's Gay Sweaters
Nope, not the walk in the Baghdad market, his support for a ridiculous war, his flip-flopping on evolution, abortion, Falwell, Bob Jones, campaign finance reform, lobbying reform and every other issue.Not his temper, his ambition or his obstinence. Gay sweaters have done him in:I would call this RGP. Republican Gay Panic.In the final days of his imploding candidacy, John McCain has taken a page out of Richard Nixon's play book, finding increasingly bizarre explanations for his political failures. Strangest of all: He reportedly feels his handlers forced him to wear "gay sweaters."
Dear, Dear John, I would be more concerned that your staunchly antigay, pro-"family"-Protection-of-Straight-Marriage, Florida Co-Campaign Chairman got caught offering to pay to give BJ's in a public park restroom.
From Wayne Besen:
When Mark Foley (R) isn't trolling for male pages and (Rev.)Ted Haggard isn't paying escorts, we have Sen. David Vitter (R) hooking hookers and co-chairman for Sen. John McCain's presidential bid, Bob Allen (R), soliciting oral sodomy in a public Florida park.
In the comments section it's noted that this hypocritical clown "was pushing for HARSHER legal punishments for people who got caught having sex in public places." Now this is something to panic about. BTW, I do not regard these people as gay. We don't want them. Methinks this is what should be referred to as "stunted homosexuals" (not even practicing).
Make it stop, GOP jokes are writing themselves!

Phrase Of The Day: "Moral Avatars"
Check out this link to Balloon-Juice on The DC Madam Palfrey / Republican Senator "Paragon of Virtue" David Vitter (LA).
But there's the rub: far more than for Democrats, Republicans put themselves forward as moral avatars, righteous defenders of the sort of theocratic values that gets their evangelical base warm and flushed.
Another One Bites The Dust. Another staunch "Defender of Marriage", a fallen warrior in the culture wars.
F'n hypocrite!
They are on a roll over there today. I'm gonna add them to the Blogroll. So go over there and take a read by clicking the link under the "Daily Reads".
The Trying NY Times
The Bush administration says the white paper reflected the scientific understanding of the time, but it reads like a veneer of science cloaking an aversion to homosexuality. The committee should examine whether Dr. Holsinger cherry-picked the literature or represented it objectively. Most important, it must determine whether Dr. Holsinger holds these benighted views today. The Senate should not confirm a surgeon general who considers practicing homosexuals abnormal and diseased.
"Practicing homosexuals"? Perhaps when I'm done practicing I'll go pro and make some porn or something. Or maybe I'll don my wig and cha cha heels and prance away to some dead diva for tips and bar shots.
I wonder if my parents are practicing heterosexuals. I shudder to think if they were professionals. I can handle the truth but what would my siblings, and God forbid, my nieces and nephews think?
Why can't they just drop the clinical speak that creates that concept of "the other", separate and apart, subcategorized, and dehumanized, though use of the term "practicing homosexuals". It conjures completely unnecessary images of "practiced" sexuality. Just refer to us as "gay people", (I'm not even asking for the dreaded "GLBT" bull. Never liked it anyway.)
Anyway, The OpEd piece is overall supportive. "Dr." (hows that, again?) Holsinger and his neanderthal views should not be allowed anywhere near the office of Surgeon General. Let him go "practice" his "medicine" elsewhere.
Update: Boris comments that "accomplished" might be a nice touch in the step up from "practicing". Would this make my sister an "accomplished heterosexual" with her brood of five, brilliant children.
Hmmm, I wonder what category my maternal great grandparents would fall under with their astounding pack of 14 progeny.

MANCHESTER – Police said this morning a tip has led them to an arrest in the leafy robber case.
James Coldwell, 49, of 50 Lowell St. has been charged with robbery in connection with a Saturday morning holdup at the Citizens Bank branch at 1550 Elm St.
The robber had duct taped tree banches to his head and torso to disguise himself, police said.

As those who know me will tell you, I have been searching for the perfect apartment for 2 months now and, most recently, for the perfect roommate. I have exhausted myself looking at all types of places and have seen the very worst along with the very best. I have come to realize that "close to the L" means you can hand them coffee as they go by in the morning, "study nook" indicates that dead space in the living room behind the water heater that is useless, "quaint neighborhood" means that none of the store signs are in English" and "vintage" or "Victorian" means the place is to die for but you won't get it if you are not a gay male couple. Don't get me wrong, I love gay men, but I am tired of having the perfect place snatched out from under me by the next cute couple to come along. If this was a one time occurrence I would not say anything, but more and more the landlord will begrudgingly hand me an application but refuse to take my deposit check or discuss move in dates. I am an attorney, I am single, I have one cat, and I make a decent amount of money. I LOVE vintage and Victorian and just about wet my pants when I see a fireplace mantel or a built in china hutch in a formal dining room, but I am tired of getting turned down for apartments. I own antique furniture, don't throw wild parties, and always invite the neighbors when I cook. (For the record, I grow my own herbs because fresh is the only way to cook from scratch.) Straight people need nice housing too and I should not be condemned to live in a place that barely passes for habitable because of my gender, age or sexual persuasion. There, I said it. I do feel a bit better for venting, but I am still going to be homeless August 1.

Welcome Just Catie!!
MSNBC's David Shuster mops floor with Fouad Ajami
My New Hero!! Down with Tweety. Shuster Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am overjoyed to have been invited to pull up a chair and spout a few words. I am more accostomed to being told to shut up. That said, there has been so much going on in the world that I must take a moment to say a few things. First of all, what everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten is that Scooter Libby was not convicted of outting anyone. Scooter was convicted of obstructing justice for lying and trying to derail a federal investigation. Scooter Libby was convicted of the same crime as Martha Stewart and Lil Kim. Unfortunately for them, they were not white, male, Republicans who had sold their souls to the devil in exchange for a stint in the White House. Bush only "pardoned" Libby (and trust me, just a matter of time) because Mrs. Libby threatened to start telling secrets. Libby was kept out of jail so he could ducttape his wife's mouth shut.
That said, it is time for everyone to stop yelling, pointing fingers and blasting away at the idiot who occupies the really nice office with the great address and start working on finding a suitable replacement. We have an obligation to ourselves, our children and the world to find someone who will do what it takes to start cleaning up this mess. Bush is a complete idiot, I get that, but what is done is done. They will not impeach the idiot for lying so let's gear up and find a real president to replace him. Fortunately even the 54 million idiots who voted for him twice would NOT vote him in again and would NOT stand for changing the laws to allow a third term.
There, I came, I saw, I spewed.

Welcome JP Le Joyeux!!!
I am very intimidated but undaunted. I must work on my loquaciousness.
The Declaration Of Independence
I found these grievances against King George:
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the
public good.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our
constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of
pretended Legislation:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
Law and Order Republicans
Defending Bush, Romney said at a campaign stop that "the president looked very carefully at the setting" before deciding to commute the 2 1/2-year sentence of Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, who was convicted in the CIA leak case.
The prosecutor in the case "went after somebody even when he knew no crime had been committed," Romney said. "Given that fact, isn't it reasonable for a commutation of a portion of the sentence to be made?"http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/07/03/romney_opposed_pardons_as_governor_but_defends_bush_on_libby/
Creepy Lyin' Asshole!
I give you Mr RICO himself Rudy Guliani:
"After evaluating the facts, the President came to a reasonable decision
and I believe the decision was correct."
Slimy Kerik Lovin' Asshole!
And Mr Duh Dum Fred Thompson:
"I am very happy for Scooter Libby. I know that this is a great relief tohttp://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/02/253699.aspx
him, his wife and children. While for a long time I have urged a pardon for
Scooter, I respect the President's decision. This will allow a good
American, who has done a lot for his country, to resume his life."
Just another ordinary Republican "Law & Order" asshole.
A Queer in Muir Woods
One designated stop at a tree stump gave the mandatory story of the rings - World War I ended here, Christopher Columbus sailed here, Jesus Christ was born here. These delicate and resilient structures have been around for thousands of years and it struck me as I looked at this worn tourist attraction that queers are older than all this (some possibly still living). The power of our gay families has been around, encircling us since far before the christ was born despite years of oppression, prejudice and hatred. To my mind, one of the most significant families was that of the christian god's son, known as Jesus. If we do away with religious dogma and internal homophobia (no one that truly important could be gay...), it is clear that he was gay and had a strong and loving gay family. Look at it another way. If you had a friend who never had sex, had one close female friend from whom he was inseparable but not married, the only other woman to whom he was that close was his mother, and he hung out otherwise with men exclusively, sometimes large groups of them, would you have any reason to believe he was not gay? Our gaydar would be all over that yet we have great difficulty in recognizing the obvious due to the traditional glory attached to his persona. I believe we, as gay men, could use the christian Jesus as an enduring example of the power of the gay family and what it can accomplish. Aside from a somewhat grisly death for most of them, they endured in a community of strength, mutual support, and compassion. It is the inheritors of their message that have permanently fashioned it into a movement of hatred and intolerance, in part as a means of fleeing from the obvious nature and sexuality of at least one manifestation of their tripartite god. Whether a believer or not, the changes this gay family brought about are profound.
Our gay families have endured and still thrive in strong and compassionate communities, some large and some small. The death of Robbie, a bartender at my favorite dive is an example of gay strength and resiliency. While I knew him, I am not speaking of Robbie rather the living, those who rallied around him and gave him the support and compassion he needed to die at home and with dignity. We as queers don't give ourselves enough credit for this probably due to the to the terrible ordinary part of our lives it has become since the plague. It is important to name those who helped. Michael, his companion, surly and compassionate to the end, providing meals, clean clothes, home and friendship. Steve, his employer and friend who spent time transporting him to and from the hospital, getting his medication, assisting him in his affairs. Gary, the abiding cynic, who offered his heart, friendship, time and humour. And there were others of whom I do not know. Like the redwoods, they circled around and supported and, like the redwoods, there is an emptiness at the center that reminds us of time passing and those who stood before.
It is an irony that the inheritors of that great gay family that offered such promise, that of the Jesus, have become agents of our genocide. I believe that queer families are stronger and better than the christian model of heterosexual union. That model lies in hypocritical ruins in every divorce court in the land. We queers have endured a long time, longer than the religions that now call for our extermination and we are faced with a gathering of the strongest enemies we have encountered: the United States empire, the christian, muslim and jewish religions, and - always - the longing of men who want to love men but are afraid to do so. This genocide is occurring and our future is in doubt but I want to celebrate the living gay families. They are fluid and may change and reform, their support may be waylaid by a night too long at the bar, they may lose members, but, at least for now, they are here for us.

Watching Tucker Carlson Now
Does Cheney Intend To Hire Libby Back?
Why not?
While they're at it, hire in Oliver North, Chuck Colson, Duke Cunningham, Tom Delay, Ted Stevens, Jack Abramoff, John Doolittle, OReilly, Beck, Hannity, Malkin, Limbaugh, and Drudge ET AL AD NAUSEAM into the Cabinet.
At least we would know where they all are and could limit the number of cookie jars being raided.
And replace Dana Perino with the Coultergeist; the 49% of America who put these people,in power, again, need to hear her puke out her venom until their ears curdle and their eyes crust shut.
And take Holy Joe Lieberman and William Jefferson too, 'cos we don't want them!
But hide the constitution from their shredders. It's a quaint little document and we may like to adher to it again some day.
Here's It Is In A Nutshell
Cheney and Rove decide Joe Wilson must be destroyed and orders the stormtroopers to put the word out about that Wilson's wife was the covert agent (whether true or false, it is irrelevant) who sent Wilson on his fact finding mission to Niger.
Ambassador Wilson was correct one to go to Niger. This region of Africa was his area of expertise. And Plame's job was tracking the proliferation of weapons, especially nuclear, weapons of mass destruction. Valerie Plame's job was protecting the United States of America. Valerie Plame was and is a patriot.
Libby and Armitage dutifully released her identity to the press destroying her career at he CIA and her cover. This probably destroyed all contacts made by Plame throughout her career. Many of these contacts are probably now prematurely dead or imprisoned.
And the compliant and complicit press, with the old crypt keeper himself, Robert Novak serving as stenographer, dutifully reveals her identity, outing her as a covert CIA agent.
This disclosure to the press is treason. Treason committed because they didn't like the message beating contra to their Iraqi war drums. Treason committed for crass political expediency. Treason committed to crush dissent.
Libby fell on his sword by lying to a grand jury investigating the matter, committing perjury to protect his "betters(?)", and feloniously avoided revealing the truly treasonous source who ordered this disclosure.
A Republican attorney appointed by this administration prosecuted this case. A Republican judge appointed by this administration oversaw the trial where the jury found him guilty and decided the original sentence. More Republican judges appointed by the this administration reviewed the sentence and trial and found its renderings just, the evidence "overwhelming", the likelihood of it being overturned remote and ordered Libby to jail pending his appeals.
The commutation of the sentence removes any remaining leverage to get to the bottom of the original crime. Without the threat of jail time, what motivation does Libby have to "refresh" his memory. Republican pockets are deep so Libby's fines and court costs are paid and he may now retire to a life of gilded leisure. This is the presidential obstruction of justice by effect if not by statute.
"Law and Order" Republicans made all this happen.
This rank, corrupt, vindictive, utterly irresponsible and reprehensible administration now gets a pass on the most heinous of crimes, TREASON.
Paris Hilton, doobie puffsters, alley pissers, and other minor felons all serve more time than any of these perjuring, pompous, laws-are-for-the-little-people, sanctimonious and hypocritical assholes.
ITMF'sNA!! All of them!

Bush Is Now Accessory To Obstruction Of Justice
Bush 41: "I have nothing but contempt and anger for those who betray the trust by exposing the name of our sources. They are, in my view, the most insidious of traitors."
Via Needlenose:
On September 30, 2003, just after this investigation began, the President said:
"If there's a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is . . . If the person has violated law, that person will be taken care of."
We now know exactly what he meant.

Majeeko seeks new partners through a campaign on Mamacrowd
Majeeko's crowdfunding campaign is online on Mamacrowd, the first Italian equity crowdfunding platform for capital raised, with a target of € 250 thousand in order to close new agreements, expand new functions of the service and continue to grow in the national and international reference market. Over €38,000 of subscriptions were collected in a few hours from the publication of the campaign.
Majeeko provides a valuable help to micro-enterprises that, due to lack of time, technical skills and money, make social networks their only source of communication: Majeeko was born to help the SMEs to create their own website with a click and keep it updated with the content of a Facebook page with an innovative and easy to use system which requires no technical knowledge or expert advice and ensures a highly efficient and professional final product, responsive, optimized for indexing on search engines and customizable at any time.
In 2015 Majeeko participated in the LUISS ENLABS Acceleration Program, receiving funding from LVenture Group, Seeweb and other Business Angels and reaching, to date, beyond 75,000 websites created. In 2016 and 2017 the startup has closed important business partnerships, maintaining the goal of digitizing SMEs across Europe. With the fundings from the campaign on Mamacrowd, Majeeko will start communication and expansion of the project starting from Spain, France, Germany, England and Austria.
"During these years Majeeko has grown a lot – says Simone Golcic, CEO of Majeeko – It has expanded its team and its services and reached important milestones, but many others are the goals we still want to achieve. With this campaign, we want to bring new members on board to help us grow and achieve new goals and to become ambassadors of Majeeko's business ".

Introducing the revamped BB Points
Collect points with every purchase and then use those points to buy new stuff!
That is the essence of what the BB Points program is all about.
Each purchase you make via our website will count towards your accumulated points and then you can use those points to purchase actual products from us.
There are a few rules that you need to know in advance though:
- You need to have a Billiards Boutique account (sign-up for one for free with an email address) so that we can keep track of your points.
- Points are not instantly available, there is currently a delay of 8 days between a purchase and the points balance being shown in your account. This is in case of order cancellation or refunds. We are testing this delay period so it could change at anytime.
- There are some limitations to the reward system at the moment, points can only be redeemed to pay for whole products, this bypasses the usual checkout system. (We hope in future the points can be used as partial payment towards an order).
- We cannot apply points retrospectively.
- We cannot apply points from eBay or Amazon purchases.
In order to use the points you need to visit the product you require and use the Buy for BB Points button. At this time if you have enough for multiple products then you will have to do this for each product.
The BB Points button will only appear when you are logged into your account.
So, like around 200 customers already, go on and start collecting some points and see what you can buy with them.

Invasion of the Body Scratchers! Part 1: Surface Mites
2 CommentsMonday, 15 April 2013 | Kate
While parasites don't have pods to duplicate your dog they can cause extreme discomfort and distress if they move in. We'll be covering all the most common kinds of parasites that dogs can pick up over this 4 part mini-series. This week we'll be looking at Surface Mites.
There are often times when it can be difficult to figure out just exactly why your dog is itching and scratching. And even if you've managed to narrow it down to a parasite problem it can still cause you much grief trying to find out which type of parasite it is because there are so many! You've got fleas, ticks, lice, mites, and mange all out there to contend with and protect your dog against. Even then there are many different types of each parasite - harvest, storage and ear mites for example - so it can be an ordeal at the best of times.
Most dogs will experience skin problems at some point in their lives, however mild or severe so to help ease the stress of trying to catch the parasites red handed we've put together an article detailing the most common types of parasite that dogs can be party to and how to spot them. Parasites often live on your dog's skin where they breed faster than rabbits wreaking havoc on their host. If left untreated, the life of a dog in this condition can only go downhill. Because there are many different types of fleas, ticks, lice, mites, and mange it can be tricky to know how to treat which parasite with what cure.
Mites are common parasites which are responsible for causing a lot of grief in dogs. We're dealing with surface mites this week i.e. mites that live above the skin. There are two main types of surface mites that affect dogs which are Harvest mites and Cheyllettiella mites.
Harvest mites, known formally as Trombicula Autumnalis, are predominantly abundant during the seasonal change at the end of summer moving into autumn. Around these times they scramble to look for hosts to latch onto (like your dog) to breed before winter comes. They can affect all mammals including us humans but they're only a danger during their larval stage when they require a host to from which to feed. They are almost microscopic but they can be spotted by the naked eye as they resemble tiny orange coloured dots on your dog and they commonly infest areas between the toes or under the armpits.Harvest mites like to crawl around in dense foliage such as long grass, bushes and plants where they wait until a host comes near enough to jump onto. Use Skinny Spray before walks to make your dog unattractive to these Chiggers and wash with an Ekoneem shampoo bar or Skinny Dip shampoo to get rid for good. The neem in these two will kill the mites stone dead and deter new squatters.
Cheylettiella mites appear light in colour and can be seen by the naked eye which has given them the nickname 'the walking dandruff'. These mites cause general itchiness and can live on dogs, cats, humans and even rabbits too. These mites cause a highly contagious form of dermatitis (skin inflammation) known as Cheyletiellosis (or Cheyletiella dermatitis) which can be transferred between animals by contact so if you suspect your dog has these mites it is best to separate them from your family and other animals.For both types of surface mites you can use Skinny Dip Shampoo which is an effective topical treatment for bathing your dog with. While you're bathing them with the shampoo follow up with Skinny Spray before going out for a walk. Both contain neem as well as rosemary, sage and lemongrass oils - powerful natural antihistamines and healing properties.

The Cleveland Browns have gone 0-9 to start the 2016 NFL season. But they've also lost 12 games in a row dating back to last season. Johnny Manziel, surprisingly, was the last Browns quarterback to be part of a win. More
The tradition of announcing starters by NFL teams continues with the Cleveland Browns, letting the world know what everyone knew already: Robert Griffin III is going to be their starting quarterback next season. It doesn't mean he'll still have the job when it ends. More
A new head coach for the Cleveland Browns is pretty much the norm every two years in the NFL. One of the first changes Hue Jackson is planning on making is moving on from Johnny Manziel, which is surprising to no one. More

Volunteer work in your community
Doing volunteer work in your community is a great way for former managers to support the residents and organizations within their communities. This service is frequently deemed necessary to support senior staff to improve the lives of less privileged individuals in their neighborhoods. In this sort of situations, this more extensive but still cost-effective version of "Outplacement Service" is highly recommended and appreciated.
In Michigan, there are several workshops available (usually covering just a few consecutive days) that provide more in-depth training and coaching for volunteers, such as hands-on support for residents on main fields such as how to prepare a good CV, the application process, networking, pathways onto the employment market, and how to write a good letter. Of course would a copy of 'Your Career Control System' need to be included in the package.
These Managerial Outplacement Workshops require a great level of attention, so the groups are generally limited to up to 8 participants and are offered at no cost to former managers and executives who want to dedicate their time to the well-being of their communities.
Outplacement Coaching for Executives
While the "Cost-effective Outplacement Service" may also be used to support those that need to be fired, it is often needed to provide executives and senior staff with more personalized and intensive support. In such cases, there are many personalized and intensive workshops in a series of coaching sessions. Interesting is also this post about Watershed Education programs at Cranbrook Institute of Science in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
Usually, these workshops are offered on-site. If that's not possible or desirable, the sessions may also be held either at a local facility such as a hotel or, if agreed by all parties, at the home of the delegate.
Many former executives were also good employers, offering good compensation, including top terms & conditions, and are used to working with a staff with morale is of high standards. This sort of experiences will be of great value when coaching the underprivileged in your community. You can relatively easily identify companies where hardly any employees ever wish to leave their jobs. So other residents can benefit from your skills, experience, and your knowledge of processes and products. And of course, you are helping companies to avoid sky-high recruitment expenses.
For many companies, their workforce is aging, and if they don't expand, they're not likely to take on many new employees. Then, they will not be able to benefit from new ideas and a better understanding of all sorts of new methods brought into their organization by such "fresh blood". You can play an amazing role in these processes as you have insight into human relation management and can be the "bridge" between supply and demand.
Eventually, companies may be confronted with a huge chunk of their workforce retiring at more or less the same time. And they will be taking their lifetime's worth of experience and skill with them. They could very well be leaving behind a huge need for skills training and development, and don't forget that "experience: can't be trained. So your role as a volunteer to support those who are looking for a good job can be invaluable.
What every organization really needs is a constant infusion of fresh blood. They need new and fresh methods and ideas coming in regularly to rejuvenate their organizations like is happening in southeast Michigan. They really want a flowing stream of new ideas instead of a stagnant pool, so you can be very helpful to reach this goal by providing employees that can't make the transition by themselves.
Redundancy is no option if jobs need to be refilled, and if workers are super comfortable where they're at (work, pay, conditions, and so on), they will be less likely to quit. You know that and you can convince companies to hire staff that you are guiding and preparing for their future lives like is happening.
Leaders are role-models. They are the models of success for any one of us and in every sector of life. Herein lies the reason that you can discover, develop, and polish the leader in you. But it doesn't come easy. leadership attributes include:
- Great leaders understand how to be and remain themselves. They are truly proud of the person they are
- Great leaders possess the skill to inspire confidence in persons around them
- Great leaders will never be self-serving
- Great leaders understand at what times to be open to advice
- Great leaders have learned to be leading through following others
- Great leaders will never quit or give up
There is one important way to develop your leadership capacities: volunteering
If you contribute to your community through volunteer contributions, you will receive self-esteem, experience, and social skills development. Volunteering activities should be promoted to develop your community sense and personal leadership skills.
Over the past decades, our nation witnessed tremendous shifts in the workplace. This has required workers to further get specialized knowledge and skills, but that doesn't mean they need to become graduate degrees and follow time-consuming courses. You are the one to help them find a good place where there capacities and skills are respected and valued.

Disney's new animated movie Moana topped the US box office with more than an estimated shs.298bn ($82m) on its open Thanksgiving weekend. It was just slightly behind Frozen, another Disney movie that made shs.338bn ($93.6m) on its release.
The movie is based in ancient Polynesian culture; the story is about a terrible curse that was incurred by Maui which reached an island where the chief's impatient daughter stayed. She answered the call of the ocean to go out, find the demigod and set things right.
Moana was followed by:
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them – shs.239bn ($65.8m)
- Doctor Strange – shs.48.5bn ($13.4m)
- Allied – shs.47.2bn ($13m)
- Arrival – shs.41bn ($11.3m)
We are watching the space to see if Moana will stay at the top for the second weekend and keep down the threat of Allied (Brad Pitt), Doctor Strange and Arrival.

Pinterest – Gypsy Cowgirl
In my eyes, an outfit isn't complete without a little sass. I love someone who dresses to them true self, and an outfit that tells it's own story. So, looking through Pinterest as I always do, I came across a style that I've always wanted to try. Now I have no idea what you would call […]Read More

If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times… I can be a pretty slow learner sometimes (or often!). Funny how sometimes I think that I'm actually getting the point, but then I have something that reminds me that while I may have started to close the gap between who I am and who I should be, it is a lifetime endeavor.
We had a substitute priest this week and he gave a pretty excellent sermon today. It was focused on the story of Jesus telling the disciples that He was going to have to suffer and die. Peter (my favorite disciple) steps up and says something along the lines of "nope" and wants to make sure his friend doesn't meet that fate. Jesus then reminds Peter that he doesn't have God's will in mind, rather his own, that of a friend wanting to take care of a friend.
I've probably heard that story over a dozen times, but it wasn't until tonight that it actually hit me what it was all about. I know, I can be pretty dense sometimes! As I heard the story and the priest's description of it all I could think of was the Thursday before Dad died, when I learned that I had to let go of the wheel (and wrote this post). The story of Peter kept sinking in and my eyes misted up a bit.
I'm sure that I'll need to hear this story and others like it many times over before it truly sinks in, but today I'm so thankful to have heard the same message in a slightly different way.

Billionaire real estate developer and U.S. President Donald Trump, who once considered building luxury hotels in Cuba, is getting set to swing a sky-high verbal crane over the tiny Communist-governed nation.
According to several Washington media sources, over the next four weeks, Trump will sign an Executive Order that for all intents and purposes will bring many of the current economic-boosting strategies to a halt in both the U.S. and Cuba.
He is expected to make this announcement in Miami. The White House so far has refused to confirm or deny this event is on the President's speaking schedule.
Trump's order is aimed at reversing many, but not all of former President Barack Obama's progressive policies he enacted in 2015.
Trump is expected to ask his Republican brothers in the Congress to back him up on this new action but he will not receive the support he needs to translate his order into law, according to several Washington reporters and lobbyists closely following the President's actions since his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Why is Trump getting so involved with foreign policy all of a sudden?
For one thing, his domestic plans for the U.S. to date have failed, embarrassingly so far. By playing his hand outside the U.S., he hopes Americans will temporarily ignore his economic inactions on their behalf inside the country.
Just last month, Trump placed sanctions on eight members of Venezuela's Supreme Court for allegedly stripping the country's National Assembly of power. Violent protests in Venezuela followed Trump's action.
The sanctions prevent officials from traveling or doing business in the U.S. The sanctions also freeze any assets the Venezuelans may have had abroad.
Easing travel and trade restrictions on Cuba is what Obama had in mind since his first of six rounds of Executive Orders were issued Dec. 17, 2014. But that is all headed for a screeching halt if Trump goes ahead with his Miami announcement this month, according to Engage Cuba.
Engage Cuba reports that it is a bipartisan non-profit whose funds are entirely dedicated to legislative advocacy efforts.
In a white paper, the organization argues Trump's rolling back Cuba policies, formerly enacted by the Obama administration, would cost the U.S. economy $6.6 billion and affect 12,295 jobs.

With right magoosh GRE prep, the correct focus, and also, the proper foundation, highest possible magoosh GRE scores are definitely practical. Be prepared, although, to study for a number of months. In various instances, you will not obtain the opportunity to obtain the highest magoosh GRE scores by researching for just up to 14 days.

In November of 2011, a mother in Nova Scotia comes home to work to find her daughter on the kitchen floor, rocking and sobbing. Leah stood in the kitchen doorway listening to her teenage daughter Rehtaeh disclose the events of a sexual assault, the events as she could remember them.
Rehtaeh could vaguely remember the digital shutter click of a cell phone at some point that night, but she didn't find out until earlier that day, at school, that a photo was taken by one of the boys and it was being texted and forwarded through the school.
The photo was of one of the boys engaged in a sexual act with Rehtaeh as Rehtaeh was leaning out an open window throwing up. Rehtaeh was nude from the waist down and the boy in the picture flashing a thumbs up to the camera.
This assault and photograph sparked a chain of events that changed the family forever.

Veatch's blazingstar Veatch's blazingstar
Mentzelia albicaulis (Douglas) Douglas ex Torrey & A. Gray var. veatchiana (Kellogg) Urban & Gilg
Plants candelabra-form, (5–)20–50 cm. Basal leaves persisting; petiole present or absent; blade linear-lanceolate, margins deeply to shallowly lobed. Cauline leaves: petiole absent; blade ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, to 17 cm, margins usually deeply lobed to dentate, rarely entire. Bracts usually green with prominent white base usually conspicuously extending outwards from midvein, rarely green, usually ovate, rarely lanceolate, 3.3–6.2 × 1.5–3.2 mm, width 1/4–7/8 length, not concealing capsule, margins usually 3–7-lobed, rarely entire. Flowers: sepals 2–5 mm; petals red to orange proximally, orange to yellow distally, 4–7(–10) mm, apex retuse; stamens 20+, 3–7 mm, filaments monomorphic, filiform, unlobed; styles (3–)3.5–6 mm. Capsules clavate, 8–28 × 2–4 mm, axillary curved to 70° at maturity, usually inconspicuously longitudinally ribbed. Seeds 15–35, in 2+ rows distal to mid fruit, tan, dark-mottled, usually irregularly polygonal, occasionally triangular prisms proximal to mid fruit, surface tuberculate under 10× magnification; recurved flap over hilum absent; seed coat cell outer periclinal wall domed, domes on seed edges more than or equal to 1/2 as tall as wide at maturity. 2n = 54.
Flowering Mar–Jun. Loamy to sandy soils, grasslands, desert scrub, oak-pine woodlands; 200–2500 m; Ariz., Calif., Nev., Oreg.
Mentzelia veatchiana is the most common and widely distributed hexaploid species in sect. Trachyphytum. It exhibits considerable morphological variation and can be difficult to distinguish from M. montana in northern California. Like the larger-flowered M. pectinata, M. veatchiana has interfertile populations with petal colors ranging from orange to yellow (J. E. Zavortink 1966). When bearing orange petals, M. veatchiana is easily distinguished from other species. Reports of M. veatchiana from Utah are based on specimens treated here as M. montana.

A couple of weekends ago, my closest friends and I went to Memphis, Tennessee to see Charlotte's bother in West Side Story at his high school. Since we were there for the play, we decided to make it a mini-vacation out of it. We had a great time walking around downtown and exploring the city. A few of the highlights included: BBQ nachos, Beale Street, Sun Studio, the Peabody Hotel and the Mississippi River.
I was shooting 35mm film on my Pentax K1000 while Naomi and Char were tag teaming the Polaroid and snapping pictures of things that caught their eyes. We wanted to share what we captured with you. Enjoy!

Viewing made simple, no need to eat a box of cereal to make a fancy viewer from the empty box.Two paper plates, one with a pin hole to catch the sun rays and the other to view the shadow of the moon.
We held the plate with the pin hole at different distances, the shadow gets larger with greater distance but also more washed out.

The Culture of Posture Blog Series #1: A Culture of Discomfort/
The Culture of Posture Blog Series
This series asks: What laws of gravity, our genetic code and our musculo-skeletal structure are we systematically ignoring as a culture? How can we return to a friendly relationship with gravity, trading muscular tension and imbalance for enhanced energy and vitality?
I'm constantly fascinated by the magic that is the human body. If we respect our natural design and get out of our own way, our bodies heal spontaneously.
In industrialized societies like ours, however, preventable chronic and sporadic physical discomfort is an epidemic. This epidemic, is, in fact, a modern aberration. There are many populations around the world where human bodies function beautifully, without pain, until the day they die.
By age 15 in the United States, greater than 60% of adolescents have experienced back pain- so much for age as the culprit. Back pain accounts for 33% of worker's comp claims and is the second leading symptom for doctor's visits in the US, despite the fact that the medical industry has decidedly little to say about it.
Many blame our sedentary lives and I regularly find myself scapegoating computers. But it isn't sitting or being sedentary itself that is the culprit, it's how we sit.
The fad of standing or treadmill desks doesn't solve the problem. They only help if we are standing and walking in integrity with gravity, which is, unfortunately, relatively rare. Of course, being active is preferable to being sedentary but more activity won't necessarily solve our physical discomfort. Blue-collar workers in our culture have even higher levels of physical pain than white collar workers, so moving more isn't the problem.
Postural anthropologists cite many cultures where basket makers, potters, weaver, brick makers, etc. sit for extended hours most days of the week and still work into their 90s without pain. But when you look at pictures of these people both sitting and standing (see below), they look very different from pictures of us sitting and standing (see the pictures above I took today at the Oakland Hub shared workspace). The first picture is of woman from Burkina Faso who are both over 60 years old and have been doing manual labor work since they were children without any back pain. Check out thier long spines even in a hip hinge versus the rounded spine's of the young Oakland-ites above. Sure, weight, height, stress level and age are contributing factors to back pain, but are incredibly minor to insignificant when we look at the effect of posture.
Until the 20th century, debilitating back pain was not a common problem but occurrences have doubled since 1950. Human beings are blank slates, painted upon and molded by our cultural environment.
Just like language, how we sit, stand, walk and carry things are behaviors we learn by modeling, from our parents, friends, school and environment. Your body is a social construction. The musculo-skeletal structure, however, is not really amenable to contemporary creative interpretation. Posture isn't really up for grabs and you can only ignore universal laws for so long before you experience disk degenerating, muscular imbalance and physical discomfort, which we are now experiencing in epic proportion.
Architects honor the universal law of gravity by choosing angles and materials that are in harmony with gravity and therefore, sustainable over time. Unfortunately, over the last century, western culture has evolved towards a crunched spine and exaggerated and unnatural spinal curves that have established slouching as the cultural norm. Our relationship to technology doesn't doom us to pain but does exaggerate our pre-existing postural problems as cradle our phone we sit or stand at our desk.
To sum it up:
1) The way we hold our body and move in space is called posture.
2) Posture is not something inherent in your being, but is a cultural product of the environment in which you were raised and operate, similar to language.
3) The musculo-skeletal system is governed by universal laws of physics and gravity, therefore, although it will look a bit different in every body, healthy posture is universal
4) Modern industrial societies have trended towards an unnatural relationship to gravity, particularly post WWI, causing a severe incline in physical pain
This is where we find ourselves. What to do? If posture is learned habit, we can relearn it. This is part of what we do in our yoga practice but not all yoga alignments and habits are created equal. Read on, young solider...

Read Genesis 10:1-32; 11:10-26. Chapter 10 of Genesis gives us the historical record of how Noah's sons populated the earth after the flood. The year the flood was over is 1657 A.C. (After Creation) or 2460 B.C. (if Abraham was born 2166 B.C.). The Lord has given us the historical times of when He made man and each of the significant events that follow. It takes some digging through the text of Scripture and archeological dating to put it all together. The amazing thing is that Noah and Adam's grandson Seth overlap by 84 years and Noah and Abraham overlap by 57 years. The information of the pre-flood years was easily passed on accurately after the flood by natural means and we know that God made sure the record was accurate (we know it was accurate by the resurrection of Jesus Christ- John 2:18-22).
We are to take the written history of the Bible instead of the historical account of people when a discrepancy arises. Why? Jesus validated the Scriptures as true by rising from the dead just as He said He would. He validated the scriptures from Abel (Genesis) to Zechariah (Chronicles) in Luke 11:51. Genesis was the first book of the Hebrew order of Scriptures and Chronicles the last. Jesus validated the historical record of Adam and Eve in Matthew 19:1-6. The Bible is true and accurate from beginning to the end.
We have an accurate historical record of God's works among the people He created. Genesis tells
us how everything began very good and was then ruined by sin entering the world. Genesis tells us how God will remedy the sin problem. The New Testament is the historical account of God saving His people from their sin, the teaching account of how we can live overcoming sin, and how God will one day judge those who haven't been pardoned from their sin.
A day of judgment is coming. We need to prepare by receiving pardon from our sins by repenting of our sins, by believing Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead on the third day and is Lord over all. Do you believe this? If not, you will experience the penalty of sin, eternal torment in the Lake of Fire. If you do believe this you are pardoned and are forgiven of all you sins, empowered to live free from slavery to sin, and commissioned to take the message of the salvation available in Christ to your family, friends, neighbors, fellow employees, and all in your sphere of

To keep the legacy of Uel Zing alive, we continue to roast and distribute the blend we all loved so much. The focus of the blend is to highlight two of the prominent flavors we love most in a cold brew and espresso: rich chocolate and dark fruit. Whether you brew the Zing Blend as an espresso or cold brew, you can count on a rich and sweet complexity with a focus on balance. This one won't ever let you down.

Where Are You Going?
"The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Do you ever get hyper-focused on current circumstances?
Maybe the season you face is filled with challenges: financial struggles, relationship tensions, physical difficulties. Or perhaps you're simply tired of the routine: the long commute, the early alarm, the relentless pile of laundry.
We all have a list of things that wear us out...but have you ever thought to be grateful for those challenges? Have you ever considered challenges are precisely what we need to grow? That difficulties are what make our lives richer, our experiences more full, and our connections with others more authentic?
Robert Frost famously said, "the best way out is always through" and I think he's right. His words remind me that so long as I lean into today's challenges, I'm moving in the right direction.
Real trouble starts when I try to insulate myself from pain; when I numb my feelings, bury my head, or cover my ears.
I have to consider not merely where I stand, but where I'm headed.
Where are you going?

Last Saturday morning I ran my first 10K! I ran in the "Pilgrim Pacer", which is a race that supports the Food Harvesters. This is something that I have always wanted to do but never thought that I could. Thanks to the loving support and guidance of my husband, the marathon man, I was able to complete the race in 59 minutes and fourteen seconds which is my best pace yet. I told Kyle it was because it was so cold outside, it made me run faster=) I don't know if this is true but boy was it cold! About ten minutes before the race began the first snowflakes of the year landed on my eyelashes and I thought oh great, just my luck.
As I was waiting for them to send us off I was feeling a bit nervous because everyone around me looked so professional about it. People were running sprints, on the ground doing push ups, and doing all of these fancy stretches. I, of course, was just standing there wanting to conserve all of my energy for what lie ahead. I did meet several nice women who were doing it for the first time as well. We stuck together to cheer each other on.
Overall it was a great experience and something I plan to do again, who knows maybe a half marathon is in my future. It is just hard finding the time to train with the little ones so we will see, that may be in the distant future. For now I am just happy that I was able to complete this challenge.
I am very excited for next weekend when I get to cheer for my hubby as he runs another marathon:) Good Luck Sweetie!!
