Pet Emergencies and Trapping Safety
Do you know when to consider a pet injury or ailment an emergency? On November 4th, SOS Pets hosted a clinic to explore pet first aid and the basics of trapping safety at the Seward Volunteer Fire Department. The class was well attended by about 20 local folks and lasted about two hours.
One of the first thoughts shared by our presenters was, "If you're thinking 'Is this bad enough to go to the vet?' the answer is probably yes." The next question was, "What constitutes an emergency?" We learned the basics of what is normal body function for dogs and cats and when to worry.
We also covered toxic foods and found out a few foods many didn't know were toxic to dogs and cats. Everyone knows chocolate and grapes can be toxic, but did you know onions and garlic are bad for dogs as well? Garlic and other members of the allium family, including onions, contain thiosulfate, which is toxic to dogs but not to humans.
Another lesser known fact was that some peanut butter types are very bad for dogs as they contain Xylitol, a naturally occurring substance which is often used as a sugar substitute. While safe for humans, Xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs. Even small amounts of xylitol can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure or even death. Our presenters recommended pet parents only use all natural peanut butter which does not contain Xylitol. Grapes, xylitol, chocolate, onions, and garlic are also toxic to your cat.
Our session also covered pet safety and trapping. Most of the attendees assumed there are regulations in place when it comes to trapping locations and areas commonly used by the public and their pets. We soon learned that the Eastern Kenai Peninsula has very few regulations and that trapping is allowed virtually everywhere except for Seward City limits. Our presenter mentioned an ethical, well-versed hunter will place their traps in places very unlikely to capture a pet but new trappers may not know any better.
Our next topic covered how to release a pet from a trap. These situations can be stressful and it's recommended to muzzle or cover the head of a trapped dog so as not to accidentally get bit. We reviewed how each trap functioned and how to release it before heading outside to practice with each trap.
There are several online resources for learning about Alaska Trapping and what to do should you find yourself dealing with a trapped pet.
Alaska Trappers Association: alaskatrapper.org – Sharing Alaska's Trails
Alaska Department of Fish & Game: adfg.gov – Trapping Information
Alaska Department of Fish & Game: adfg.gov – Trap Safety for Pet Owners
Alaska Department of Fish & Game: adfg.gov – Sharing the Trails
Should you find a trap while out with your pet it's best to leave it alone. Alaska Law forbids springing a trap. However, if it's near a trail and potentially a hazard to others you can report it to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game's Soldotna office at Phone (907) 262-9368.

AnnaLynne McCord's Crop Top & Skirt Outfit: Get It For $54
The star rocked one of the hottest trends of the season — a matching crop top and skirt combo — and we were thrilled to find out you can rock her entire look for $54. SHOP if you want to get it here!
AnnaLynne McCord, 26, attended the 16th From Slavery to Freedom Gala at Skirball Cultural Center on May 29, 2014, in LA, where she showed off one of the hottest looks of the season. The star stayed true to her style in a super affordable, matching light-blue crop top and skirt set from Missguided. It showed just a little bit of skin at her waist and the skirt went past her knees. She paired it with Jimmy Choo white shoes and bag, and wore her beautiful blonde locks straight. McCord kept her make-up very simple so it didn't clash against the brightness of the outfit.
AnnaLynne McCord's Crop Top & Skirt Outfit:
We love when stars show off affordable looks — especially on the red carpet. This outfit is easy to dress up or down, simply by changing up your accessories — and it's perfect for the summertime! While AnnaLynne paired it with sheer and embellished heels, you could easily wear it with fun wedges or pumps — or booties come fall! The matching skirt and crop top sets are a huge trend right now. If you love this outfit and want the look, you can get it right HERE, where the skirt is actually on sale for $18.98.
This outfit fits AnnaLynne's body perfectly and looks like something out of her former 90210 character, Naomi Clark's, closet. We love the simplicity of this look — and even if you pile on a little more jewelry it wouldn't hurt!
We think it's so cool when stars rock affordable finds on the red carpet, and this is a great get-up to transition into fall. Do you agree?

Media day mantra saves Seahawks' Lynch from fines, offers little else
The right thing to do, of course, would have been to ignore Marshawn Lynch.
To stop playing his little game. To stop being the punchlines in his ongoing Duane Thomas joke.
But it was never going to happen here, not at Super Bowl media day, when costumes are optional and schtick clearly overwhelms substance.
There were the guys from TV Azteca who had two hand puppets with big teeth and bubble eyes and kept asking Bill Belichick questions in Spanish.
There was Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir, au courant as always, double-Axeling his way for NBC through the media throng.
And there were the spectators, a few thousand of them, who paid the NFL $28.50 to sit at US Airways Center on Tuesday and watch the circus below.
When Lynch launched into his "I'm just here so I won't get fined" routine, the crowd — listening on little radios that the NFL provided — broke into cheers.
Ignore him? It was never going to happen.
So we gathered in front of the podium that bore the Seattle running back's name, and we poised our pens. Just in case.
"When does my time start?" Lynch asked the NFL handler who had been assigned to him.
"I'm just here so I won't get fined," he announced, setting the day's agenda. "So you all can ask me all y'all want to. I'm going to answer with the same answer. So you all can shoot if y'all please."
The questions varied. Lynch's responses didn't.
By actual count, Lynch answered, "I'm just here so I won't get fined" 29 times, even when a kid journalist shouted a kid question, and even when Deion Sanders — whose slimy insincerity was made for media day — tried to ooze in a remark.
"Does it bother you with all the attention, and they just want you to talk when you really don't?" Deion asked.
Lynch: "I'm just here so I won't get fined."
Sanders tried again, flashing his NFL fraternity secret wink, "I pretty much know why you won't talk. Is it because you don't trust anyone and can misconstrue your words?"
Lynch: "Just so I won't get fined, boss."
Roughly five minutes into the Seahawks' allotted hour of interviews, Lynch announced, "Time!", stood and vacated the podium.
We had our interview.
Welcome to media day.
I will spare you the "just trying to do our job" speech if you'll not email me with Lynch's "right to remain silent" rights.
I get it. But do you?
His teammates reiterated Tuesday that we all should "respect his privacy." But how private is a guy who's been fined twice this season for publicly grabbing his crotch after scoring a touchdown?
Lynch calls his game-day transformation Beast Mode. But when the cameras and notepads are around, he goes into Bully Mode. He knows he has leverage over the interviewers, and he flaunts it with his own schtick.
He has been interviewed this season, it seems. Skittles persuaded Marshawn to sit in front of a bowl of the candy and answer a few semi-nonsensical questions. And the Progressive insurance people paid him to do a weird commercial with Kenny Mayne.
Said Lynch: "I'm all about that Flo, boss."
So he gets the last laugh. Sponsors are handing Lynch cash to joke about his silent persona. And real-life cordial running backs, like the Cowboys' DeMarco Murray, the league's leading rusher, didn't make it to the Super Bowl and are just hoping someone will sign them to a rich new contract.
Lynch is a beast, no doubt. His knack for breaking games open with a pounding, tackler-shedding, fourth-quarter touchdown run has become a signature weapon for the defending champion Seahawks.
But ignore him?
Impossible to do on Tuesday. And on Super Bowl Sunday.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the tentative plans to launch my very own Internet radio talk show.
As some of you may not know, I've been the Contributing Home Entertainment Editor for the Internet radio show Movie Geeks United. The twice-a-week talk show has been one of the top rated show on the innovative website Blog Talk Radio
Well, as the show grows in popularity, I've been delving more and more into all things Home Entertainment. I've conducted interviews with the likes of actor Harry Sanders (Killer of Sheep), screenwriter James Vanderbilt (Zodiac), and film critic David Edelstein (The Dirty Harry Ultimate Collector's Edition).
Now it feels right to branch out and create a forum for in-depth discussions about the latest releases, trends, and technological breakthroughs in Home Entertainment.
Details are still being finalized, but it looks as if the first installment will air on July 24th @ 8:00pm CST.
Along with my regular postings, I will update this blog with guests and details about all upcoming shows.

- Oliver Stone: Natural Born Filmmaker Pt. 1 I wrote this article leading up to the release of the underrated World Trade Center. I had started out by watching one Oliver Stone-dierected movie a day. I somehow found myslef writing, and eventually wound up with over 6,000 words on the first half of Stone's filmography. (I hope to finish the second part of the article by the time W opens.)
- Music of The Sopranos My appreciation of music grew out of my love of movies. There's something transporting when the right piece of music is matched with the right scene or image. This rarely happened on television. That all changed after The Sopranos. This current Golden Age of Television can be traced back to one date: January 10th, 1999. From that day forward television would no longer be intimidated by the movies. (Sometimes it looks as TV is what sustains moviegoers when the movies don't fulfill their promise.)
- "On Broadway" and Bob Fosse's All That Jazz I wrote this in conjunction with a Bob Fosse retrospective that took place at the Film Society of Lincoln Center over the New Year's holiday. It's a consideration of one of my all-time favorite opening sequences--the chorus line auditions for Joe Gideon's latest Broadway show. I could've written about many things regarding Fosse and All That Jazz, but I decided to focus on a sequence that I feel best captures what made Fosse one of the greatest filmmakers of the last 50 years.

Numerous merchants burn through a great many dollars in a lieu to catch the most extreme number of car leads. Notwithstanding, the vast majority of them stay unsuccessful to catch enough number of them. As indicated by faultfinders, poor advertising systems are one of the prime purposes behind the aftermath. The dealerships need to know and execute the most recent limited time strategies to increase quick and long haul achievement.
The territory where the merchants neglect to make an impression are engaged and inquired about well by the expert lead age organizations. These organizations are known for utilizing a large group of advertising strategies to deliver the coveted business result. They have a group of experts who have a very long time of involvement in creating exceedingly compelling Audi A1 cars leads in brisk time.
The lead age organizations build up different sites to pull in a greatest number of online movement. The locales are all around streamlined to effortlessly get a best positioning on the different well known web indexes – Google, Yahoo, Bing, and so forth. The group completes a serious research to discover the significant watchwords for streamlining reason. Engaging substance is transferred on the website pages to pull in a more noteworthy number of eyeballs in addition to make rehash guests to the auto lead locales.
Aside from the sites, a lead producing firm likewise creates greeting pages and make and oversee web journals for most extreme online perceivability. The greeting pages and blog entries are made sufficiently alluring with the right utilization of hues and illustrations to give intrigued individuals a chance to make a call to move. A delicate duplicate request shape is transferred on each presentation page for anybody to top off the same and submit. On the shape, segments including name, address, contact numbers, email address in addition to the question box is given for the inquirer to enter the points of interest.
A man who sets aside the opportunity to top off an online request frame is viewed as a lead. After accommodation the information gets put away in the number one spot creating organization's database for access of the same. The undertaking of a lead generator is currently to set up a contact with the lead either by specifically calling up at his number or messaging him for a brisk reaction at his end. On the off chance that the concerned individual answers or accepts the call, he is viewed as a successful lead, in the event that he doesn't he is held as a terrible lead who isn't intrigued any longer to purchase an auto because of some reason.
The chase for good leads proceeds through cutting edge promoting systems and thusly a not insignificant rundown containing the names and contact quantities of new deal openings is set up by the lead producing organization. The rundown is then sent to the merchant through email or fax for additionally follow-up reason. It now turns into the duty of the merchant's business group to in the long run change over the prospects into clients.
It is deserving of recollecting that car drives age process is tedious and requires most extreme persistence. Just an expert organization committed to this circle can effectively produce various compelling leads every day. It is a result of this reality that we are seeing a rising number of auto merchants taking the help of auto drives sites to expand deals after some time.

Before we can understand the Incarnation and how God did not change in the Incarnation, we must first understand the Trinity. This is certainly no easy task for quite a few reasons. First, I am writing in a limited space, so even if we could comprehend God, I would not accomplish this in so few pages.
Secondly, we cannot comprehend God, so I cannot really explain the Trinity. What I can explain is what has been revealed, but I cannot explain the Trinity and how the three persons function. Rationalists need not apply in attempting to understand the Trinity or looking at the Trinity; the Trinity is a mystery and therefore cannot be comprehended.
The third reason this is not an easy task is that while what we can know of the Trinity is substantial, space and time are limited. St. Hilary of Poitiers spent the modern equivalent of 300 pages writing about the Trinity. St. Augustine spent the equivalent of nearly 500 pages writing about the Trinity. Yet both men felt that their works were inadequate. I am using only a fraction of space to write about the Trinity as these two great thinkers did, so I am positive that my explanation will be inadequate.
Regardless of the inadequacies, I will attempt to explain the Trinity to the best of my knowledge. It is my hope that in understanding the Trinity we can gain a better understanding of the Incarnation and in so doing we can understand how Christian theology does not contradict the Damascene Cosmological argument.
We must first start with the most basic understanding of the Trinity, which is that God is one substance, but three persons. By saying persons I do not mean that they are three properties. The Father is not a part of God, the Son is not a part of God, and the Spirit is not a part of God. Each one is fully God and therefore not a part. A branch is part of a tree, but not the whole tree. A hand is part of a man, but not the whole man. A tire is part of a car, but not the whole car. The Father is the whole of God. The Son is the whole of God, The Spirit is the whole of God.
In the Trinity we have three individuals who hold individuals wills, but share the same nature and therefore their wills work as one. An example (and I stress this as an example and not an analogy) is that John and Paul share the nature of "human." Though John and Paul are individuals and hold individual wills, they can work as one toward a common goal. I use this as an example to show that different wills can exist within the same nature and work together, but we must remember that the nature of the Trinity is not like the nature of humans. God is still one entity and one being. Whereas John and Paul are two beings, the Father, Son, and Spirit are all one Being, who we call God. To explain this is beyond human means and therefore we retreat into mystery.
While we recognize the three persons of God, we also recognize that there is one divine nature. Whatever is true of the nature is true of all the persons since all the persons share equally in the divine nature. Thus, if we say the divine nature is omniscient (that is, not ignorant) then this stands true for the Father, Son, and Spirit. Any differences found within the three are not found within the nature, but within the persons.
Some might point to the Father begetting the Son as an indicator that the Father is somehow superior (ontologically speaking) to the Son and has "more" of the divine essence, but such a difference resides in the persons. The Father begets while the Son is begotten and the Spirit proceeds. But all of this is found within the person and not the nature. When we think of sunlight, we know that the sun begets the light. While both share the same nature, one begets the other. Likewise, the heat that comes from the sun shares the same nature with the sun, but still proceeds forth while the sun itself does not proceed. Though this analogy is highly inadequate (and not an analogy, but an example), it demonstrates to show that differences can exist within the persons of the Trinity without those differences stemming from the substance.
While the Father begets, the Son is begotten, and the Spirit proceeds, all three are uncreated. All three are eternal. All three are omniscient. All three equally share in the divine attributes and it is appropriate to call them God. When we worship God, we worship the Father, Son, and Spirit.
Some might immediately object and point out that the begetting of the Son indicates a series of events. Since being begotten is an event, then God must exist within time because at some point the Son was begotten. If this is true, then the Trinitarian belief is not congruent with the Damascene Cosmological argument.
Such an understanding, however, misunderstands the concept of begetting. While for humans begetting means creation, for God it does not necessarily have to mean that. For one, the Son is eternally begotten. The begetting did not happen at some point in time, but is essential to the persons of the Father and Son. Turning back to the example of the sun, we see that the sun begets the light. But do we say that the sun came first and the light came second? Did the sun exist without light? The light is begotten from the sun for the duration of the sun's existence, but such light is as old as the sun. Likewise, the Son is eternally begotten by the Father, meaning that his source is the Father, but such a begetting did not take place in time or space. This is not an infinite regress of actions because the action did not take place in time or space nor does it necessarily qualify as an action. Though the Son finds his source in the Father (that is what "begotten" means in reference to the Divine), this is not an action.
The same explanation stands for the procession of the Spirit from the Father. Just as the heat comes from the sun without the sun creating the heat at some later point to its existence, so too does the Spirit proceed from the Father. The Spirit is not created and then sent forth, but rather has always been a part of God, constantly sent forth, but in fellowship with both the Father and Son.
With all the talk of begetting and proceeding, how do we say that the Trinity avoids an infinite regress? It certainly seems as though these are series of events that subject God to a series of events. However, such an argument only works if the persons are parts. That is, if the Spirit is a part of God, then by proceeding we have an event because a part is being moved. However, the Spirit is God and not a part, therefore in procession nothing is moved. God "moves" Himself in the act of procession and begetting. This is a single Being that is not moved, but simply finds source within himself; not source as in creation, but source as in existence. The Son has existence in the Father and the Spirit has existence in the Father.
Admittedly this is all a mystery and boggles the mind, but just because we cannot understand the Trinity does not mean the Trinity is not true. The fact is, the Trinity is at the center of who God is and we cannot understand his essence. This inability means that we can only be in awe when reflecting upon the Trinity.
Some might be tempted, in such confusion, to abandon the idea of the Trinity. By doing so, they create a God that can be comprehended to some degree by removing mystery. Likewise, they gain an easy explanation to how God is not subject to an infinite regress by "proceeding" or "begetting." But in abandoning the Trinity, Christians create a bigger problem; they negate the idea that God is love.
