Well, this is new and unexpected, but we learned yesterday that Moses is highly allergic to mustard. This hasn't been on our radar at all, but explains the anaphylactic reaction to canned baked beans that contained mustard in August.
Before his allergist appointment, I reviewed the list of ingredients on the canned beans and thought that we should get mustard tested, just in case. And sure enough — he's highly allergic to it. Very good to know.
So, this brings us up to 6 allergies (as diagnosed by his allergist): tree nuts, wheat, eggs, dairy, fish and mustard. This is still a lot fewer than the 40+ allergies / sensitivities that he had when he was 2-3 years old.
On the good side of things, mustard is very easy to avoid.
I just found out that mustard is actually one of the ten priority food allergens in Canada. Who knew?

He has just got married and his wife was about to give birth but this did not save Andrei Arbashe, a young Christian, from a horrific fate at the hands of rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad's regime earlier this month.
"They beheaded him, cut him into pieces and fed him to the dogs," said Agnes-Mariam de la Croix, mother superior of the Monastery of St James the Mutilated between Damascus and Homs.
Forget the familiar Arab spring narrative about down-trodden masses taking on the forces of evil: the Syrian conflict appears to have entered a darker phase in which the rebels are committing atrocities against innocent civilians. It does not bode well for peace.
The people who chopped up Arbashe did not seem to need much of a motive: his brother had apparently been overheard complaining about the rebels behaving like bandits.
Full story here.

Nippon Steel Seeks Assets for Growth Outside Japan, Shindo Says
Juan Pablo SpinettoNippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp., the world's second-biggest steelmaker, is seeking to add assets in markets outside Japan to tap growth in metal demand that's stronger than in its home market.
Nippon Steel partnered ArcelorMittal in November to acquire a steel plant in the U.S. from ThyssenKrupp AG, and is expanding to chase swelling overseas demand, President Kosei Shindo said in an interview yesterday. The steel industry is becoming global, he said.
"It's important to increase assets in overseas markets rather than in Japan," Shindo said in Sao Paulo on the sidelines of a business seminar between Brazilian and Japanese companies. "We must follow the increase of steel demand in overseas markets."
The Tokyo-based producer, formed by the merger of Nippon Steel Corp. and Sumitomo Metal Industries Ltd. in October 2012, said last week that profit in the June quarter fell 24 percent as steel imports from China put pressure on prices.
Brazil, Latin America's largest producer of the metal used in ships, cars and buildings, is "an important area" for Nippon Steel, and operations at Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA, a Brazilian steelmaker that Nippon co-controls, are "precious," Shindo said.
"We are now globalizing in every part of the world," he said.
Shindo, Toyota Motor Corp. chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. President Koichi Miyata are among the Japanese businessmen traveling in Brazil with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he wraps up a tour encompassing six Latin American and Caribbean cities in nine days. The Japanese leader, whose policy of unprecedented monetary easing and economic stimulus has been dubbed Abenomics, is urging Japanese companies to seek more business outside their domestic market.

This is related but slightly OT: does or has anyone used the Yohji Homme perfume? It's discontinued now, but perfume expert Luca Turin raves about it and gives it 5 stars in his guide to perfumes. There's a couple of discussions about it here -
Does it work as a Yohji aesthetic in scent form? I love what Commes des Garcons, for example, does with perfumes and how they relate to their bigger picture. Perfume is dressing the air around you so I'm curious as to what Yohji-air smells like.

Hmm..i may get the schiit first then to get a head start.
Oh, and living in america, I'm assuming i need to get the 115v versions, right?
Finally, do i connect the two with RCA cables?

Are you talking about the Mjolnir and the Gungnir? If so "NO". Use balanced cables. Here are a few good sites:
Or the Schiit Pyst http://schiit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=12
He should be getting XLR cables..
Monoprice's are cheaper, but i'm assuming the pyst cables sound better? if not, they're kind of pointless..
I really wish more brick and mortar stores carried audeze. I'm in korea on vacation, and apparently no one carries them because people keep returning the lcd2/3 due to their comfort issues. Living in upstate new york, not a single store from JFK to where i'm from is a normal "store", but rather a company headquarter or a showroom. I don't want to spend any more money on auditioning them via demos, either.
Of my three headphones, which does the lcd-3 sound like the most? I doubt either have the same sound but....i need some kind of description
Anyone recommend Audio-GD Master 8 for the LCD3 ? Quality/price
I've not heard one but Kevin is pretty high on the design putting it right up there beside the GS-X. I'd love to hear one but they are rare on the For Sale.
The Master-6 is very good with my LCD2.2. Should be even better with the LCD3's.
Says a lot really
So it seems it would be a good idea, comparing prices between GS-X mkii and Master 8. The cons would be weight/size 16KG, and shipping price 250 to my country.
I will consider that a leap of faith in choosing Master 8 with LCD-3, as I have read many feedback on amps which work for LCD-2, don't work that well with LCD-3. Anyway, nigeljames is absolutely right that master6/8 is very good with LCD-2 as I had that pairing before. The person who bought over my Master-7 and 8 combi also intends to pair them with LCD-3 too, but the headphones will only arrive in a few months' time.
I will agree it is a lead of faith that the LCD3's will work well with the Master-8.
However if I had to pick one area of concern with my LCD2.2 it is the congested bass. Not a major issue but the the inherent lack of soundstage width with the LCD2.2's means that some recordings with a lot of bass (and the Master-6/8 produces a lot of deep tight bass) can sound quite congested and lacking clarity in the bass area. This is clearly obvious if compared to the HD800's, T1's or HE6's.
As far as I have read this is an area that the LCD3's significantly improve upon, giving an even tighter bass, wider sound stage and more air & space.
So I have a feeling,and it is only a feeling, that the LCD3's could be significantly better still on the Master-6/8.
I hope to find out myself one day but the LCD2.2's still sound so good I have other priorities

Trail Map (pdf)
Pioneer ranchers and farmers in the Gila Valley built this trail about 1874 to haul their products to the booming mines of the Clifton-Morenci area. After the advent of the automobile in the early 1900s, new roads were constructed along other routes. One was the Safford-Clifton Road (now called the Black Hills Back Country Byway). Decreasing use of the Safford-Morenci Trail resulted in little maintenance, and it became more difficult to follow.
Today, the Safford-Morenci Trail is managed by the BLM as a recreation trail for non-motorized uses. Although the trail was originally used as a pack trail for supplying mining camps in and around Morenci it is now impassable in places for horseback riders.
Location and Description: The trail is 18 miles long one way, with an elevation range of 3,700 to 6,200 feet. It winds through the rugged canyons of the Gila Mountains and Turtle Mountain.
With the exception of Bonita Creek, streams and springs are scarce along the route. Follow bear and mountain lion country precautions as these creatures are becoming more common along Bonita Creek. The creek's clear, cool water is inviting for a soak, but must be treated before drinking due to human, cattle, and wildlife activity upstream. Carry plenty of drinking water with you. Few people travel this remote route and it remains difficult to follow because it crosses land of mixed ownership. You will need topo maps and a compass to hike this moderate to difficult trail. The best time to hike is fall through the spring months because there is little water and shade. Snow is possible in the high elevations during the winter months.
Attractions: Hikers can enjoy a variety of desert and riparian environments along the trail. Bonita Creek, part of the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, is crossed about midway and makes a good primitive camping spot. Javelina, black bear, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and mountain lions inhabit this area. Numerous birds, including raptors such as golden eagles and peregrine falcons, may also be seen. Riparian areas are especially good for colorful neotropical migratory birds. Hikers can encounter prehistoric cliff dwellings, remnants of early homesteads, majestic rock outcrops, and sweeping views of the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area, the Gila Mountains, and the high points beyond. All prehistoric and historic objects are protected by federal law; enjoy viewing the sites, but leave objects in place for others to enjoy as well.
Access: The West Trailhead near Bear Springs is about 12 miles northeast of Safford via the Solomon Pass and Salt Trap Roads. To reach the trailhead, take 8th Avenue north out of Safford. A half mile after crossing the Gila River bridge, take the right fork onto Airport Road. Drive 4.3 miles to Aviation Way. Turn left onto Aviation Way, then another immediate left onto the paved unsigned road. This is the Solomon Pass Road, follow it 8.0 miles to the Solomon Pass - Salt Trap Road Junction. Take the left fork onto Salt Trap Road and follow 1.8 miles. Turn left and continue about 4 miles west to the West Trailhead. If you reach Salt Trap tank with corrals, you've missed the turn. A 4WD high-clearance vehicle is needed for sections of the last 4 miles.
To reach the East Trailhead (6 air miles west of Morenci), take the Lower Eagle Creek/Black River Road off of Highway 191, just north of Morenci. The turnoff is about a quarter mile past a historic hillside cemetery on your right. Take the left into what appears to be a dirt parking area; the road begins there. The Eagle Creek road begins there. You will need to ford Eagle Creek just below the water pipeline at the ranch house, continue on for about another 4 miles. The trailhead is signed. Although the Lower Eagle Creek/Black River Road is maintained gravel, the river crossing may require a high clearance vehicle during high water events.
BLM Surface Management Maps: Arizona 7.5 minute - Lone Star Mountain, Bonita Spring, Copper Plate Gulch
Elevation: 3,700' - 6,200'
Facilities: Trailhead signs
Permits/Fees: A recreation permit is needed for crossing Arizona state trust land one mile southwest of the East Trailhead. Permits are available by mail or in person at the Arizona State Land Office in Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff.
A San Carlos Apache Tribal recreation permit should be obtained if you wish to cross the short section of the trail that passes through the reservation in T. 4 S., R. 28 E. Permits are available from the Tribal Recreation and Wildlife Department in Peridot, or from convenience stores in Safford and Pima.

Adam and Eve
Situated here (Genesis 2:18-22) is what might be called a biblical flashback, or a second creation story. The God said that it was not good that man should be alone; He would man a help for him. And, out of the ground God formed every beast of the field and fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. Whatever Adam called them was their name. Some believe God placed Adam in the garden, giving him domination over the animal kingdom so he could name them, to develop his intellectual capacity. Adam named them all but he found no help (or mate) for himself. So God caused a deep sleep to come over Adam; he then took out a rib, and closed the flesh; and from the rib he formed a woman, and brought her unto the man.
When seeing her Adam said, this is bones of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, for she came from Man. Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and hey were not ashamed. (Genesis 2:23-25)
Now in the garden came a serpent, said to be the subtlest of all creatures,
who told the woman that she may eat the fruit of every tree. And she replied
that God had forbid them from eating of the tree in the midst of the garden,
lest they would die, which was what her husband had told her. The serpent
told her that you shall not die; and God said that because he knew that
the day you eat of the tree your eyes shall be open and you shall be as
God, knowing good and evil.
The woman, then seeing the tree saw the fruit was good for food, and pleasing
to the eye, and was to be desired to make one wise, took thereof and ate,
and then gave to her husband, with her, who also ate. (Genesis 3:1-6)
Immediately there eyes were opened; they acknowledged their nakedness, and
covered themselves with fig leaves. They hid themselves when hearing the
presence of God in the garden. God called to Adam and asked where he was.
Adam answered that when he heard God he hid himself because he knew that
he was naked. God then asked him, how did he know he was naked, had he eaten
of the tree that he had been told not to eat of. (Genesis 3:8-13) Then the
man blamed the woman, and she blamed the serpent; the first example of human
Those believing this biblical scripture as well as those not believing it
know the change, or havoc, it has caused within the world, especially among
Christians. Their doctrine of original sin is the direct result of Adam's
sin in the garden, or the fall. Following this sin of Adam God told the
woman that he would increase her suffering in bearing children; that she
should desire her husband who would rule over her. And, to Adam God said,
for you have eaten of the tree, and for this, your sake, the ground is cursed.
It shall bring forth thorns and thistles, and you will eat herbs of the
field. By the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread for all of your days
until you return to the ground; for out of it you were taken; you are dust;
and unto dust you shall return. (Genesis 3:16-19)
Adam then called his wife's name Eve; for she would be the mother of all
living. And God made them coats of skin, and clothed them. (Genesis 3:20-21)
God then said, Behold, the man has became one of us, to know good and evil;
and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life,
and eat and live forever. God then sent man from Eden, the ground from which
he was taken, and blocked his return with cher'ubim, or death, and a flaming
sword to guard the tree of life. (Genesis 3:22-24)
However, the gravity of the fall is where the Hebrews and Christians,
as well as others differ. The Hebrews acknowledge the fall, or sin, of Adam,
and they tell God they are sorry Adam did it, but, unlike the Christians,
they do not assume personal responsibility for it. This is the reason that
they did not accept Christ as the second Adam, as the Christians do, who
came to forgive the fault of the fall and reunite man with God. The Christians
assumed the sin of Adam, original sin, was inherited and only Christ could
remove its penalty from them.
Some Hebrews, past and current, as well as others see the fall not in a
downward direction, but as upwards. The feeling is that after leaving the
garden opportunities of action and knowledge opened to man, or humankind.
The aggadists described Adam as more beautiful than the sun, for "Adam
was created for the service of the Holy One and the orb of the sun for the
service of humanity," but after his disobedience he is thought to have
lost his radiance. (from L. Ginzberg, The Legends of the Jews) In
medieval philosophy Adam is regarded as the prototype man, Adam
Kadmon, and the concept that he was made in the image of God is much
discussed. A.G.H.

Smoked Salmon is great and all, but Gravlax is my favorite cured salmon preparation. It's Swedish, you know.
Wi nøt trei a høliday in Sweden this yër?
Cured in a mixture of Dill, Salt, Sugar, and other spices, its product has a cleaner, distinctive taste that's not obscured by a smoky flavor.
See the løveli lakes
Making it is easy. My mother would make it for us- two full salmon filets, covered in salt, pepper, sugar, coriander, fennell seeds, and dill, pressed together (flesh side facing each other), and held down with weights.
The wøndërful telephøne system
Over three days the salmon would release liquid from the curing process, until it was ready to eat.
And mäni interesting furry animals
Go ahead, be ambitious and make it one week instead of buying lox from the bagel spot for $40 a lb. It's easier than you think, it'll taste better thank store-bought, and your friends will think you're Scandinavian as hell.
Including the majestik møøse
The Gravlax tartine pictured above is one of the smørrebrøds (open-faced sandwiches) offered at Vandaag in the east village. Rounding out the gravlax were local beets and pickled veggies.

So we're back to my question: how do we fix it?
stockingfull wrote:Let's take this one step at a time.
1. There's no gun at anybody's head now, right? Yet costs are skyrocketing. Why? IMO, there are several major reasons. Big pharma and Hartford have a virtual monopoly, state-by-state. That monopoly is allowed to cherry pick the healthiest insureds, to deny coverage to anybody with a PEC, and to cancel people who have the temerity to get sick. Meanwhile, the problem is magnified as the population ages and requires/demands more and more expensive health care.
stockingfull wrote:As it stands now, if you contract an illness which requires ongoing treatment, you simply cannot change jobs. You become indentured to your employer. (Why? Because healthcare as an employee benefit was thought to be a good thing once upon a time, and this tether happens to attach to that concept.) If you're lucky, your insurer won't find some "benefit cap" or "program limitation" or ancient unrelated undisclosed PEC, or other horsecrap on the basis of which to rescind your coverage.
stockingfull wrote:Plus costs simply are out of control because it's all become a tech-heavy, on-demand system, where gigantic amounts are spent for end-of-life treatments, many of which do virtually nothing but burn money. Medical advances in the last generation have been so rapid that people in this country have come to believe that they never have to face death. And insurers have stopped fighting and become content to just pay, keep score, charge higher premiums and take their profit, which is what insurers do best. If your health insurance costs haven't risen much faster than your income, that says a lot for your income. But anybody who doesn't think that the cost of the end of life in this country has become a significant problem is already under some strong medication. Finding a way to deal gracefully with death is a challenge we must confront, without resorting to the irresponsible and inflammatory "death panel" lingo of the Betsy McCaugheys and Sarah Palins of the world.
stockingfull wrote:2. Apart from the niceties outlined above for people who actually have insurance, the growing uninsured population is going without sometimes inexpensive early detection and treatment, which results in (1) them becoming acutely sick, and (2) getting treatment for their sickness in ER's, (3) at the highest possible cost for that treatment (even ignoring that it might have been completely avoided with cheap preventative care), (4) which stratospheric costs either bankrupt them or us, or BOTH them and us.
3. The above risk and cost structure isn't really much different in character from that which required Social Security, or Medicare, or even carrying insurance on your car when you drive. When a problem reaches a breadth and/or scale which significantly affects the taxpayer, then it's the function of government to intervene in some way. We're by far the most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we're 37th in outcomes. It's not just a matter of national embarrassment, it's sealing our economic fate in the world marketplace. If we don't reform, we'll never compete again; it's that simple.
stockingfull wrote:4. So the question becomes how best to do it. It's clearly a national problem, so it's not something which can be "optional." That said, there still is a wide range of possible solutions, from minimum guidelines for state programs, to universal Medicare, and lots of possibilities in between. Scott Brown participated in doing it in MA; let's see what he thinks about how it should be started in DC. As I said yesterday, I think it can be started with a list of simple minimum standards, which few in either party would want to answer for voting against.
mikeandgerry wrote:Clarifications of your words, by my summary, are in bold, one step at a time.
stockingfull wrote:Mike, there's a short answer to your points:
Everything -- EVERY SINGLE THING -- government does "limits liberty."
Here's the longer version:
When the TSA scans you beneath your underwear in the name of safety, your liberty has been limited. When your neighbor's kid goes off to serve in Iraq or Afghanistan, that person's liberty has been completely taken away, ostensibly in your name. When you get on the interstate and see the speed limit, your liberty has been limited. Hell, when your money is taken away to fund the elementary school down the street, or to pay the police in your town, your liberty has been limited.
In fact, insurance companies, by their very nature, take from all and pay to a few, thus "limiting the liberty" of those who paid premiums and didn't have a claim. On top of that, we accord to the health insurers the only anti-trust exemption -- that is, the gov't-sanctioned right to "limit your liberty" in a much more pervasive way -- other than that granted to Major League Baseball. How is it that we haven't been reading your objections to those gross infringements of your "liberty?" How about when they "limit your liberty" by denying your treatment as "experimental," or rescinding your contract because you got sick and started costing them "too much"?
So Mike, your "liberty" argument always sounds good but it's old, and tired. It's been settled for a long time that gov't intervenes when there's a demonstrable collective need, which I outlined in detail in my post above. The New Deal arguably saved us from a workers' revolution during the Depression. Know any elderly folks who want to give up their Medicare?
Now, I know there's a fundamental disconnect between our views of the world in this general area. But please don't insult my, or our, intelligence by pretending that this is the first time this has happened. There is an economic crisis directly traceable to our healthcare system, and it's self-evident that the "free market" not only has failed to correct it -- it is manifestly making it far worse.
So we're back to my question: how do we fix it?
Richard S. wrote:I fixed that post. pleas don't put your own words in quotes. There's a very easy way to do multiple quotes from the posting panel:
stockingfull wrote:Jeff, I take it you like de-regulation in all its forms. Which is what we had before the Great Depression....
And how's all that free-market "globalization" working out?
The fact is, the biggest problem with health insurance is that the insurers have had too free a hand. The notion that our "world's worst" bang-for-the-buck in healthcare has no relation to the fact that we're the ONLY industrialized nation without a universal healthcare system is pure fantasy on your part.
Our healthcare system is badly broken, and getting worse by the day. That's simply a fact.
If you think less regulation is what it needs to improve, you won't find much company -- even in the GOP.
SMITTY wrote:Simple solution: MAKE HEALTHCARE AFFORDABLE TO PEOPLE MAKING LESS THAN 1,000,000 PER YEAR!! That's the only reform needed. The system is fine - it just cost too damn much!!
Greedy doctors? Greedy insurance co's? I don't have the answer. But what I do know is that Obama's plan is a huge steamy pile of dung & does nothing to solve the problems I just outlined. Only makes it worse.
stockingfull wrote:Jeff, show us how "the poison the Gov't feeds us" is what's causing our healthcare system to be approximately twice as expensive as the second most expensive in the world, while coming in 37th in outcomes, and you'll jump to the head of the line for at least a couple of Nobel Prizes.
I'm rooting for ya, bud.

The Humane Society of the United States, which is not the Humane Society you think of that shelters pets, is pushing Prop B with millions of dollars in financing from out-of-state interests.
What do they think they are buying with this money?
It's not dog welfare. Here are some things to think about.
1) 86,000 dogs will have to be put down, many of them healthy, happy and loved.
The HSUS says there are over 200,000 dogs in Missouri that are kept by breeders. There are some 1200 licensed breeders. If you limit the number of dogs you can keep to 50, you have 60,000 dogs. What is going to happen to the other 140,000 dogs? There are some 350 shelters in Missouri. To accomodate the overflow, 400 dogs per shelter would have to be offloaded before the year is out. The vast majority of those dogs are currently healthy and cared for by dog-lovers. What will happen to them?
Some will be put up for adoption. Those who are not rescued, will be killed, released into the wild, or moved into illegal puppy mills hidden away from the state.
The problem with broad regulation is it affects everyone. It's not hard to say that 86,000 dogs will be killed if this measure passes. 64% of dogs that go into a shelter don't come out. But the HSUS and Prop B say nothing about this problem.
2) There will be less dogs and less dog breeders
Pet ownership will decline because costs will go up. The arbitrary limit of 50 will turn breeders in hobbyists unless they drastically increase the costs of each puppy. Ultimately, only the wealthy will be able to afford dogs from breeders. The HSUS considers this a good thing. Their view, and that of many animal rights activists, is that dog breeding is offensive by its very nature.
So those dogs you loved as a child? The Westies? The Golden Retrievers? Good luck finding one. You'll be able to go to the pound and get a dog, but only what is available, which means choosing a dog for temperament or that fits your lifestyle won't be as easy.
3) Less people will buy dogs
Families with children will buy less dogs. While adopting strays can be a loving strategy, it can also bring danger. Pound dogs and rescue dogs are great when you know how to treat them. Anyone with experience with pets knows that people with a history of pet ownership are more likely to understand how to handle animals. especially ones with a history of being in
4) The wild dog population will increase
Dogs are beasts. Noble, but beasts. Like all animal populations, they will increase when left on their own, and in the backwoods of Missouri, when you let hundreds or thousands of dogs go free, you're going to see an explosion of their population in a way that is not at all controlled. Domesticating animals isn't something we solely do for joy. Your solutions are pretty narrow. The shelters will fill up, and you can let the dogs go, turn them over to be killed or kill them yourself.
5) The Humane Society of the United States will still go after licensed breeders.
The HSUS has a very bad track record of abusing the courts and targeting good people to scare breeders into leaving the business:
"HSUS has now become the self-appointed law enforcement of the animal world. In some states, HSUS employees are running around with guns and police-like badges breaking down doors, confiscating animals and business papers, and obtaining warrants with false information. Lawsuits are cropping up against HSUS, sheriffs and governments for blatant violations of the most basic of constitutional rights."
-Joe Wurzelbacher
Search "Denisa Malott" and "Dan Christensen" on Google to get a sense of that HSUS does when it has the power of the proposition.
This is a pdf of the court documents for a $5 million lawsuit against HSUS for taking almost 300 dogs in a "raid" that left his dogs dead, diseased, and given away, in addition to ruining his reputation as a licensed dog sellter.
6) Laws still won't be enforced by law enforcement officials
While you see a series of high-profile raids of unlicensed puppy mills on the news, what you don't see is enough criminal enforcement of the laws already on the books, the laws written by your Missouri legislature. Rather than working to increase enforcement, or lobbying Governor Jay Nixon to find money in the budget to enforce laws on the books, the HSUS is trying to create a complementary law with no enforcement.
The HSUS just released a report of licensed breeders they claim are currently in violation of their licenses. Rather than using their vast wealth and power to do anything about it, they are instead targeting the entire breeding industry. They are not interested in fixing the problems they have identified. They instead want to add vague regulation that by the statements of veterinarians is actually worse for the dogs, and applies to all breeds equally.
HSUS instead contracts with Rescue Operations to stage raids against dog breeder. With no money for enforcement, local officials are all too happy to pass over authority.
7) Little dogs will die under breeder's care
To show you how poorly thought out Prop B is, think of the Chihuahua. They're little, hairless dogs that won't do well in snow. But new regulations require access to the outdoors. The rules allow little dogs to go out into the cold and die, whereas a dog like a Siberian Huskie would do fine. The proposition doesn't allow any breeder to take note of the difference. All dogs are equal, under Prop B. No matter their personal needs. Of course, this means breeders won't raise many dogs. The danger of being prosecuted in a criminal manner is too high.
8) Most licensed breeders will shut down because of costs
Breeders won't be able to comply with the arbitrary regulations, and will shut down. In addition to tens of thousands of dollars in structural upgrades that could be do for many breeders, the danger of having a water bowl get dirty is enough to put you in criminal risk.
They're dogs. Dogs get water bowls dirty when they drink. They lick themselves for goodness sake. What do you think is going to happen?
And yet now. Food, or debris, or dog slobber in a water bowl now makes you a criminal.
9) New laws and lawsuits will be brought
An affirmative public vote for this travesty of a bill will be used to push future regulations and used in court cases to force more animal regulation on Missouri and other states.
Study and think. Why would an organization spend 3,000,000 to go after Missouri dog breeders, rather than working with existing laws and legislatures to improve enforcement?
What is HSUS after?

The Medical Council of India (MCI) has barred Chintpurni Medical College, Pathankot, from admitting MBBS students for the upcoming session.
It takes 150 seats off the total number in the state. After annual inspection, the council had recommended to the union government on April 28 to stop the 2014-15 batch intake and not renew the permission.
Sources in the MCI said it had taken the decision on April 16 after serious deficiencies in the college human resource and infrastructure had come to light.
Even in 2012, on similar grounds, the college raised in 2011 had failed to secure this permission.
Even last year, the permission was first denied after initial inspection and given only in last July. For any reconsideration, the MCI will have to conduct a fresh inspection after the college has claim that it has addressed all deficiencies.
The MCI being a constitutional body, even the union and state governments can't change its decision.
It is the council choice to conduct fresh inspection or not but the college management and principal Dr KC Manchandra are both hopeful.
Last year, the Punjab Institute of Medical Sciences, Jalandhar, also had lost per mission to admit students, and 150 MBBS seats had gone off the system.
The MCI inspected the college last week only and will decide its fate a week later.

GW Softball Looks to Get Back on Track at Towson on Tuesday
Colonials Aim to Snap Four-Game Skid
April 1, 2013
Live Stats | @GW_Softball | GW Softball on Facebook
WASHINGTON - The George Washington softball team visits Towson on Tuesday afternoon seeking a return to the win column. First pitch from the Tiger Softball Complex is set for 3 p.m. Tuesday's game was originally scheduled for March 6 but was postponed due to inclement weather.
Towson | 5 |
George Washington | 6 |
GW Softball Earns Thrilling 6-5 Comeback Victory Over Towson WASHINGTON - The George Washington softball team scored four runs in the final two innings of action to overcome Towson and earn a thrilling 6-5 comeback victory on Wednesday afternoon at Mount Vernon Field. |
Towson (15-21-1) has lost seven in a row and 11 of its last 13 games and is coming off a three-game sweep at Delaware last weekend. Hailey Balk paces the Tigers' offense with a .323 average, while Delanie Dunham is batting .321 and leads the team with 22 RBIs, 22 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. Katie Lingmai (6-12) leads Towson's pitching staff with a 3.98 ERA and 115 strikeouts in 110.2 innings.
GW is 3-7 all-time against Towson, but the Colonials won last season's match-up, 6-5, in walk-off fashion. GW trailed by three in the sixth inning but scored four times in the final two frames, and Valos drove in the winning run with a two-out single. She went 4-for-4 in the game, while Autumn Taylor and Chelsea Lenhart each had a pair of hits and an RBI.
GW (11-15) is 2-9 away from home this season after a doubleheader sweep at the hands of Atlantic 10 rival Fordham on Saturday. Senior third baseman Tara Fogarty led the Colonials with three hits and two RBIs on the day.
Following Tuesday's contest, the Colonials return home to host four Atlantic 10 games in three days this weekend, beginning with league newcomer Butler on Friday at 3 p.m.

ALTON, Va. – It was the perfect day for Dylan Kwasniewski.
Kwasniewski was fastest in practice and put his Royal Purple/Rockstar Energy Drink Chevrolet on the pole before going out to lead a race-high 39 laps en route to a win in the Biscuitville 125 on Saturday in NASCAR K&N Pro Series East action at Virginia Int'l Raceway. It was Kwasniewski's fourth win of the season and ninth overall in the K&N Pro Series for the reigning K&N Pro Series West champion.
Bryan Ortiz was near the front of the field all race long and finished second – crossing the line .847 seconds behind Kwasniewski – to record his best series career finish. Brett Moffitt finished third to record his 33rd career top-five finish in 57 series starts. Ben Kennedy and Sunoco Rookie-of-the-Year contender Gray Gaulding finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Cale Conley, local standout Peyton Sellers, Scott Heckert, Eddie MacDonald and Alex Kennedy rounded out the top 10.
Kwasniewski led the race's first 10 laps, but was content to let Daniel Suárez take over the point for 17 laps before everyone made pit stops for fuel. Kwasniewski, a member of the NASCAR Next program, regained the lead on Lap 29 and led the rest of the way. The race ended with a green-white-checkered finish after Suárez's bid for a second win this season ended in a cloud of smoke due to a Lap 50 engine failure.
With the victory Kwasniewski extended his lead over Moffitt in the championship standings to 28 points with five races remaining. Ben Kennedy holds down the third spot – 40 tallies in back of the leader.
It was the first road-course race for the series since competing at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville, Conn., in July 2010.

Inside sources claim 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' is officially dunzo.
TLC revealed the end is near in a new promo for the reality series saying, "With only a limited number of episodes remaining, Jon and Kate spend quality time with those who matter."
"'Jon & Kate Plus 8' is ending in mid-to-late November, as previously reported," a TLC spokeswoman said in the New York Post.
The future of the Gosselins on TV at all is now in question.
A Jon-less version of the show called 'Kate Plus 8' was scheduled to return on Nov. 2, but TLC shut down production after Jon Gosselin launched a legal war, claiming filming had become 'detrimental' to his children.
"TLC has no plans to film unless the situation is resolved," according to a report on Radaronline. "Obviously they are not shooting anymore [footage] so they are taking what they have and seeing how many more episodes they can get out of it."
Jon and Kate Gosselin have been battling over everything from the crying children to their empty bank account.
The divorcing couple appeared in court this week, where a judge ordered them to work out their differences–and ordered Jon to repay Kate $180,000.

HOOKER email@example.com_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2007-10-02 published
In a famous role, the spy didn't love her
James Bond's flirtatious foil grew up in Ontario; she returned
and penned tabloid columns, writes Sandra
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S8
Gutsy, impetuous and adventurous, Lois
MAXWELL ran away from
home as a teenager to become an actress and became famous as
Miss Moneypenny, M's flirtatious secretary in the James Bond
films. Although she appeared in 14 Bond films, she had a tough
life, supporting two young children after her husband died prematurely
of heart disease. Writing a weekly newspaper column in Toronto
and starting a company to build crowd-control barriers were just
two of her schemes.
Lois Ruth HOOKER was born on February 14, 1927, in Kitchener,
Ontario For the rest of her life, she loved to throw people off
balance with her name, introducing herself by saying, "I'm a
hooker." Her father was a school teacher and her mother a nurse
she once described her family as religious and temperate while
she was scrawny, freckled and saucy and sulky. When she was a
child, the Hookers moved to Toronto. Lois attended John Wanless
Public School and then Lawrence Park Collegiate.
Lively, rebellious and game for anything, she was much more interested
in performing on stage than sitting in a classroom solving algebra
equations. She played parts in radio dramas under the name Robin
WELLS, at least partly so that her parents wouldn't find out.
After winning a part in Maurice Maeterlinck's play The Blue Bird
at Hart House, she was determined to become an actress. However,
an oft-told story has her running away from home in 1942 to join
the Canadian army. She would have been 15.
"Teenagers in those days were terrified that the war would end
before they could get into it," explained journalist Peter
a friend and former newspaper colleague. There's another version
of the story, which Ms.
MAXWELL told when she began writing a
weekly column in The Toronto Sun in 1979: She skipped school
in 1943 to audition for the army's entertainment corps, earned
a place and then went to England with the show, where she sang
and danced and (according to some reports) often appeared on
a bill with comedians Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster.
Seven months later, army officials discovered she was underage
and prepared to send her home. Undeterred, she knocked on the
doors of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where she persuaded
officials to name her "the first winner of the Lady Louis Mountbatten
Scholarship," according to an account she wrote in The Sun. At
Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, her favourite classmate was Roger
Moore - she once played his uncle, complete with red beard, in
a performance of Shakespeare's Henry V. After leaving Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art, she found small parts in plays and films and
was "discovered" by Canadian-born film mogul Jack Warner, who
put her under contract and sent her to Hollywood. Her first major
role was as a schoolteacher in That Hagen Girl (1947), starring
Ronald Reagan and Shirley Temple. She was so impressive that
she won a Golden Globe as "best newcomer." Two years later, Life
magazine included her and Marilyn Monroe in a photo spread of
eight starlets.
She never made the Hollywood big time and after appearing in
two forgotten Warner Brothers films, The Big Punch and The Decision
of Christopher Blake, she went to Italy with friend Geraldine
Brooks. Ms.
MAXWELL lived in Rome for five years, making British
and Italian films.
During this time, she met British television executive Peter
Churchill MARRIOTT - "a handsome sardonic stranger," as she later
described him. They married in 1957 and moved to London, where
they had two children: daughter Melinda in 1958 and son Christian
in 1959.
In 1962, Mr.
MARRIOTT collapsed with a serious heart condition
and Ms. MAXWELL was forced to seek film work to support the family.
That year, she was given a small part as a nurse in Stanley Kubrick's
Lolita and the role of Ms. Moneypenny in Doctor No, the first Bond
film. Apparently, director Terrence Young, who had once turned
her down for a role because she looked like she "smelled of soap,"
offered her the part of either Moneypenny or Bond's girlfriend,
MAXWELL was squeamish about playing sex scenes,
so she chose the part of the chaste secretary to the head of
MI6. She supplied her own clothes and was guaranteed two days'
work at what was then the daily rate of £100. At the wrap party
at the end of filming, she met Ian Fleming, the creator of the
James Bond books. "I visualized Moneypenny as a tall, elegant
woman with the most kissable lips in the world," Ms.
remembered him saying. "You, my dear, are perfect."
As Moneypenny, she created a character who was cheeky and flirtatious
but also knowing and impervious to the seductive prowess of a
series of Bonds, including Sean Connery and her old Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art pal Roger Moore. Her last Bond film was A View
to a Kill in 1985. She asked producer Cubby Broccoli if he would
kill off her character, but he recast it instead. Miss Moneypenny
was subsequently played by Caroline Bliss and Samantha Bond.
Ms. MAXWELL, who always had ambitions beyond her secretarial
character, set her sights on M, but that part was out of bounds
as an equal opportunity role until Judy Dench laid claim to the
"She was always fun and she was wonderful to be with and was
always perfect casting," Mr. Moore told the British Broadcasting
Corp.'s Radio 5 Live on the weekend. "… It was a great pity that
after I moved out of Bond, they didn't take her on to continue
in the Timothy Dalton films. I think it was a great disappointment
to her that she had not been promoted to play M. She would have
been a wonderful M."
The good part about playing Miss Moneypenny was that she was
so identified with the role that she became a recognizable part
of popular culture. The bad part, of course, was that she was
so typecast as the smouldering secretary that it became hard
to win other major roles.
After Ms. MAXWELL's husband died in 1973, she returned to Canada
to film a television series, Adventures in Rainbow Country. She
bought a property in cottage country and a bungalow in Fort Erie,
Ontario, settled down with her young children and established
a company called Great Barrier Industries, which manufactured
crowd-control stands. She eventually opened a British subsidiary
and planned to market her barriers in Europe.
In the late 1970s, she proposed writing a column for The Toronto
Sun to editor Peter
WORTHINGTON and publisher Donald Creighton.
They took her for a boozy lunch at Winston's, according to Mr.
and long before the coffee was served, they had a deal. She wrote
her chatty, gossipy, opinionated weekly column, called "Moneypenny,"
for almost a dozen years.
After Kim Campbell's Progressive Conservatives went down to an
ignominious defeat in the 1993 federal election, Ms.
confided that she had declined an invitation to run. "Kim Campbell's
handlers threw her to the slavering wolves," she said. "She is
a gutsy, bright strong woman who didn't deserve the treatment
she received from her party."
As for Ms.
MAXWELL, she had her own problems in the newsroom
at The Sun, according to Mr.
There was a certain
resentment that she was a celebrity getting into the column business,"
he said. "She was also one of the better-read people and that
was a problem, too."
Her final column appeared April 23, 1994. By then, her daughter,
Melinda, the married mother of a small child, was living near
the market town of Frome in Somerset, England. Ms.
MAXWELL decided
to join them, planning to live every day, "with gusto!"
Her last film was The Fourth Angel (2001) with Jeremy Irons.
The same year, she underwent surgery for colorectal cancer and
then moved to Perth, Australia, where her son, Christian, and
his wife had settled.
Lois Ruth MAXWELL was born in Kitchener, Ontario, on February 14,
1927. She died of cancer in Fremantle Hospital in Perth, Australia,
on September 29, 2007. She was 80. Ms.
MAXWELL is survived by
her daughter and son and extended family.

Steve was born in Smoky Lake
in 1934, the
son of Anna and Nicholas
LOVENUIK. He grew up in
Coal Valley. Steve was respected as an owner of a successful
construction business in Edmonton. Over many years he was responsible
for the construction of several hundred buildings in the area.
Steve was forever working to help those he loved. Throughout
his life he was always aware of the needs of his growing family
and made everyone happy. He gave us a great sense of family that
we all possess now - that legacy lives on. He loved to see his
family gathered around the dining room table for a feast prepared
by Dorothy and to hold everyone captive until he recited his
Italian, or Polish, or Latin version of Grace. Like Louis Armstrong
sang, Steve lived in 'A Wonderful World'. We will miss him at
track meets, recitals, athletic races, golf games, ski hills,
volleyball games, dance competitions and soccer games. He was
an avid spectator and Number One Fan of his children and his
grandchildren's endeavors. We would like to thank Doctor Helen Hays
for her kind and caring support and efforts to help make Pa comfortable
in his final week. Prayers on Monday, July 9, 2007 at 7: 00 p.m.,

Henry (1917-2007)
Beloved dad, grandpa and great-grandpa, passed away on Tuesday,
August 28, 2007 just shy of his 90th birthday. He was born on
September 8, 1917, in Slavgorod, Russia, where he was raised
on a collective farm by his parents, Henry and Justina. He immigrated
to Canada in 1929 along with his parents and his brother Henry.
His baby brother Siegfried was born during the ocean voyage to
Quebec City. The family then settled in the Kitchener-Waterloo
area. Peter attended Kitchener Collegiate Institute where he
met his future wife, Helena
WARKENTIN. In his thirties, Peter
pursued an accounting career with B.F. Goodrich. He was, however,
an avid sportsman, becoming recognized as a 'scratch' golfer
at the Westmount Golf and Country Club. His passion for the arts
eventually eclipsed his interest in sports. By attending Saturday
morning classes at Waterloo College, now Wilfred Laurier University
and joining the Kitchener-Waterloo Society of Artists in 1946,
Peter developed his artistic skills. He also added a daughter
Jean Margot to the family in 1946 and a son, Peter Andrew in
1949. Peter was elected to the Canadian Society of Painters in
Watercolour in 1960 and the Ontario Society of Artists in 1963.
Exhibitions include the National Gallery, Ottawa; the Rotunda
Gallery, London, England; La Scala Gallery, Florence, Italy
the Galleria International, New York City and the Art Gallery
of Ontario. During his seventy plus years as a respected Kitchener-Waterloo
Artist he received numerous rewards and accolades and was a respected
member of the community. His work is in the collection of Her
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the City of Waterloo, the Kitchener-Waterloo
Art Gallery, the London Regional Art Gallery, the National Club
in Toronto, the Universities of Guelph, Waterloo and Wilfred
Laurier and many, many private homes. Peter was predeceased by
his parents, his brother Henry and his wife Helena. He is survived
by his daughter Jean (David)
HOOVER, his son Peter (Louella)
GOETZ and his brother Siegfried (Corinne)
GOETZ. He will be greatly
missed by his long time friend and companion Dora Melville
He is also survived by his grandchildren Jennifer (Garry)
Oliver (Alpena)
HOOVER and Travis
HOOVER, as well as his great-grandchildren
Megan and Lyssa
MacLEAN and Alexander and Stephan

Good Family Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo, on Friday

Church, 78 John St. W., Waterloo, Saturday, September 1, 2007
11 a.m. Interment will follow at the Parkview Cemetery. If Friends
so desire, memorial tributes may be made to Redeemer Lutheran
Church, Canadian Cancer Society or the Lung Association, all
of which he supported and these can be arranged through the funeral
