Healing Diets Teachers evolve naturally out of School of Natural Medicine Colorado State Board of Higher Education Healing Diets Diploma Training. Advanced students are offered opportunities to assist in classes and then a certain few evolve as teachers on their own, or with the school. Becoming a Healing Diets Coach means that a student wants to share the good news and help others to transform their relationship with food to enjoy a healthy life with respect for animals and our planet, and to assist in the healing of health concerns, aging and chronic disease.
BETH DORSEY is one of our passionate teachers, who took Healing Diets information and skills into her home where she and her husband are raising three adopted children. Although at the beginning the youngsters were resistant, it seems they all want to share the food she makes and wait in line for it, asking her what she is making next, as all the cultured, dehydrated and fresh vegan foods Beth is dedicated to are absolutely delicious. Beth teaches the third day of Healing Diets II, offering laughter filled fun creations of cultured foods, seed and nut cheeses and yoghurts, dehydrated crackers and unusual and tasty cleanse drinks. Beth is also a Certified Life Coach, Hypnotherapist, and a Reflexologist, Healing Diets & Essential Oils graduate from the School of Natural Medicine.
"It all begins with a thought…" I work with people that want to transform their personal or professional life by identifying and changing their thought patterns, overcoming blocks, and reprogramming belief systems to create the life they desire. I use life coaching, hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to assist clients in achieving their dreams. Very powerful tools for very powerful results. I also see clients that are suffering from chronic conditions, including addictions, and need to heal their body and their mind. The body is a whiteboard that the mind writes on. If you have been thinking negative thoughts and feelings the effects of those thoughts, it WILL manifest into disease. I incorporate Essential Oils, Reflexology, Meditation, Spirituality and Healing Diets into my practice. If we can work on supporting the body and nurturing the soul while we work on changing the thought patterns, we get positive results very quickly. " Beth Dorsey, Longmont, Colorado.
JESSICA FANNING-GREMLEY took off with Healing Diets training to complement her Natural Acne Clinic aesthetician practice in Golden, Colorado – beauty from the inside out! Very soon after attending classes, with years of professional confidence, Jessica began teaching her own Healing Diets classes in Denver and c0-hosted a Women's Wellness Weekend with another student. It was a joy to co-create her day of teaching which focused on family foods, from pre-conception, pregnancy, post birth, infancy, children and teenagers. Creating healthy family foods is a challenge for many mothers and our students reported it was a fantastic day, the last day of the August Healing Diets Immersion.
BRIGITTE MARS has been an Herbal Medicine and Healing Diets teacher at the School of Natural Medicine since the first Summer School in 1988. Her contribution to the Wild Foods and Cleanse Raw Food days in the Healing Diets Immersion took students into nature, identifying and collecting foods to create delicious Vegan, raw and lightly cooked meals. Brigitte's healing history began in the sixties, much like mine when I healed breast cancer naturally, and we both wrote books about those days, (mine was Flower Child in the Summer of Love, and Brigitte's Hippie Chick Seeks Revelation.
Brigitte Mars is an herbalist from Boulder, Colorado, with over 40 years' experience in natural lifestyles. She lived for two and a half years, on wild edible plants while living in a tipi in the Ozarks, in the early seventies. She is the author of The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine, Country Almanac of Home Remedies, Addiction Free Naturally, The Sexual Herbal, The HempNut Cookbook, Rawsome!, and Healing Herbal Teas.
Brigitte teaches at Naropa University, Bauman College of Holistic Health and Natural Chef, The School of Natural Medicine, Just for the Health of It School of Reflexology and Healing Arts, Boulder College of Massage Therapy, Esalen Institute,Kripalu, and at an Icelandic healing arts school called Heilsumeistraskolinn. She has a private practice, helps out at Pharmaca, and has a local weekly radio show on KGNU called Naturally. She is the mother of Sunflower Sparkle Mars, a dancer now teacher, and Rainbeau Harmony Mars, actress, international model and yogini. (www.rainbeaumars.com). Brigitte lives in Boulder, Colorado.

CoolSculpting by Zeltiq – Recovery, and Cost?
Coolsculpting by Zeltiq
The Recovery
coolsculpting treatment takes an hour per application. For example an hour to treat the belly, or potentially 2 hours if you're treating two bulges like the inner thighs or the flanks. Most people recover very easily. There can be numbness in some areas, a few days of swelling, and very rarely patients can feel discomfort or pain but we would not expect any lasting or permanent complications from the treatment. Patients don't even need to modify their lifestyle. They can head back to the gym, work after the treatment is done.
They do however need to wait to see the results. They are gradual over 2-4 months following the treatment.
The cost of coolsculpting treatment is determined by how many applications are being done. A single application can range from anywhere $400-600 and if you're doing multiple applications it could be several thousands.

The Emperor's New Clothes Trailer (2015)
24 April 2015 Factual 107 mins
Michael Winterbottom, celebrated director of 24 Hour Party People, The Road to Guantanamo, and The Trip, joins forces with actor, comedian, and provocateur Russell Brand for that most unlikely of documentary approaches: an uproarious critique of the world financial crisis. Building on Brand's emergence as an activist following his 2014 book Revolution, where he railed against "corporate tyranny, ecological irresponsibility, and economic inequality," The Emperor's New Clothes pairs archival footage with comedic send-ups conducted in the financial centers of London and New York. Brand spotlights not only how the crisis affected the working class around the world, but also how the uber-wealthy benefited from the downturn. With Winterbottom providing his signature ingenuity and pinpoint directorial control, they generate a riveting, boisterous, and, at times, cathartic riff on the extreme disparities between the haves and have nots in contemporary society.

A Classical Yoga class which is suitable
for everyone from beginners to more experienced yogis. Each one and a half hour class will cover Meditation, Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha and Yoga Nidra. It is a relatively gentle class but works
powerfully on the energetic body and mind - harmonising and rebalancing.
This article appears in The Loop Magazine Holywood Edition in Nov 16
Local Yoga Teacher Alison Roberts, after 12 years of teaching in the Community, has just fulfilled her dream of having a dedicated space for yoga tuition in her home town of Holywood. The Yoga Room Holywood is an oasis of calm high above Holywood High Street suitable for 1-2-1 and Small Group Tuition
When I ask someone first attending a yoga session what their expectations are it is frequently increased flexibility and fitness and then after a short hesitant pause an almost wistful hope of increased "wellbeing" - a vague term perhaps but something that they seem to instinctively feel yoga can deliver and yet are unsure how. We are all familiar with the images of young, slim yoga practitioners in weird contortions. The media love those pictures, and it's what people have come to associate with Yoga however Yoga practice has very little to do with physical "posturing" which is superficial and impermanent (we all get old) and more to do with our internal health and wellbeing which is much more important and enduring.
An holistic practice (the term yoga, means to "yoke" or join), from the very first session mind and body are of equal importance, given equal emphasis and the entire personality is taken into account. All Yoga practices lead to meditation, which is a state of being, if the mind wanders or is not engaged in the practice then we are no longer practising yoga but exercising and therefore we lose the holistic benefits. We will still notice benefits - exercise is good for us, but it is not Yoga.
General yoga classes are geared for the majority of people but cannot deliver the optimal practice for each individual attendee. The beauty of 1-2-1 or very small group tuition with an experienced yoga teacher is that in a short number of sessions a personalized practice is developed and progressed to suit the individual personality and their life circumstances. We all know that life is full of ups and downs and our nervous system, sympathetic (arousal, stress) and parasympathetic (rest, recovery) adjust to allow us to deal effectively with these highs and lows and then bring us back to a state of equilibrium. However the pace of modern life means that our nervous system is over stimulated, we are on too high an alert and then we plummet towards exhaustion and depression. The state of equilibrium and recovery is missed having huge repercussions on our general health and wellbeing leading to chronic illnesses and syndromes. Regular, appropriate yoga practice has been proven to help bring the nervous system back to a more balanced and harmonised state.

What makes a thread successful?

I don't think that any thread can truly be considered successful just by looking at the number of replies or view count alone, but it has to do with the quality of the thread and the promotion of discussion within it.
I think that while views are an interesting stat, they really don't say all that much about the thread. For example, the views don't take into account some of the random bots that are browsing the site, which is why you might sometimes click on a thread and see
something like this
, despite it being a thread that may be locked or one that's from a few months back. If there were a way to filter out the views of non-members, it might be a better way of measuring a successful thread, but as it stands, it doesn't mean all that much.
Replies are a slightly better way to measure success, but again, there are many threads out there (like in PVP or even here, for example), where it's an easy to answer question, which means you'll see a higher rate of reply. But, many of these threads are "one and done," where a poster will make their reply, and never look at the thread again. When you start seeing threads with high post counts outside of one these types of situations though, that's generally an indicator of some success (either that, or an argument breaking out).
As for whether the definition of successful threads change across different forums, I guess it depends on how you look at it. Obviously, you'll get fewer views and replies in some of the less active forums, but if there's still quality discussion from a smaller group of people, I would say that a thread like that could be considered just as successful as any other.
So with all that said, I don't believe there's really any quantifiable way to deem if a thread is successful or not. However, I think that when you start seeing quality responses and a healthy interaction between the posters of any given thread, I would call it successful, even if it has a lot of views and replies or not.

Clockwise from top: Apple laptop (I just this week replaced my last iPad and MacBook Pro after 5 years of faithful service) // Anthropologie stapler (sold out, but identical version available here) // Kate Spade coaster c/- Magpie Decor // Kate Spade pencil case (also comes in a notebook version) // Rifle Paper Co. notebook + to-do list + notecards // Parker pen // Kate Spade 2015-16 agenda // Teapot c/- Magpie Decor.
Alright, let's be frank: I'm hardly going anywhere near a school gate this year (I graduated high school – insert scream face emoji here – over fifteen years ago). But regardless of the fact I'm a grown woman in my 30s, I still derive as much pleasure from a few back-to-school rituals and a new set of stationery as I always did.
Although thankfully these days the stationery is from Kate Spade, the new school shoes are replaced by Ferragamo's and the knee-high socks by Wolford opaque stockings, some things stay the same: I always start each season with a big organising and de-cluttering session (spring cleaning the entire house, making a list of what needs updating, and going through my wardrobe to remove anything worn out, the wrong size or no longer loved), re-stocking the basics and moving the out-of-season supplies to storage.
So whether you're 15 or 35, the start of new term is always the perfect time to take stock of your progress during the year, set new goals, have an almighty organise + de-clutter session at home, and re-stock your supplies with a few lovely things for the new season. And there's always room for excellent new stationery.
A roundup of my favourite back-to-school supplies (for grownups):
I'd love to know: do you still start the new season with a few old back-to-school rituals? What are your favourite things to do + re-stock this time of year?
Have a great term!

The E-Rate program was created as part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to help schools and libraries connect to the internet. Through the E-Rate program affordable broadband internet access, internal network connections (primarily WiFi), basic maintenance of internal connections and some telecommunication services are available at a discounted cost to schools and libraries. Discounts range from 20-90% or 20%-85% of the cost of the eligible service and is based on the institution's level of poverty and location.
E-Rate 2.0
Despite the E-Rate program's enormous success in connecting classrooms to the internet, the FCC recognizes the need to modernize E-Rate and ensure all children have access to the high speed learning solutions to meet their educational goals.
Some of the issues/recommendations under consideration to meet this goal are:
- Modernization of the management process
- Increased connectivity to high-capacity broadband
- Efficient purchasing through bulk buying, consortia and competitive bidding
- Additional funding and designation of specific funds for Category One and Two separately
- Elimination of funding for "traditional phone service"
Category One vs. Category Two
E-Rate funded services are defined as either Category One (Services) or Category Two (Internal Connections/Basic Maintenance/Managed Broadband) and applicants may apply either one or both. The services are defined as:
Category One – Services
- High-speed leased WANs and Internet
- Fiber leases (dark or lit)
- Fixed wireless (e.g. microwave)
- Mobile device/hotspot data plans:
- If cost-effective compared to Wi-Fi (C2); or
- If WLAN impossible
- Requires cost allocation for off-campus
Category Two –Internal Connections / Internal Connections / Managed Broadband Services
- Internal Connections
- Access Points
- Wireless LAN Controllers
- Cabling for Internal Broadband Connections
- Caching
- Firewalls
- Routers
- UPS for eligible equipment
- Client Access Licenses
- Basic Maintenance
- Repair and upkeep of eligible hardware
- Wire and cable maintenance
- Configuration changes
- Basic technical support
- Software upgrades and patches
- Managed Broadband Services
Over $155 Million in E-Rate Services
Custom is a Category Two Provider and prides ourselves on having successfully delivered over $155 million in E-Rate services since the program's inception. This is due in large part to the investment we make in training our staff members to ensure they are aware of the latest rules, regulations and funding available through the E-Rate program. Custom representatives attend the Applicant and Service Provider trainings and updates on an annual basis.
In addition to the training we provide our staff, we also offer multiple seminars throughout the region where we share these program updates and changes with our current and potential clients. We encourage schools and libraries that are new to E-Rate or who have questions about the program to reach out to us and we will gladly answer your questions.

Fluri is a fluent URI library for Dart built to make URI mutation easy.
dart:core.Uri class provides an immutable representation of URIs, which makes it difficult to incrementally build
them or update them at a later time. If you wanted to build a long URI from the individual pieces, you would do something like this:
Uri uri = new Uri(
scheme: 'https',
host: 'example.com',
path: 'path/to/resource'
If you later wanted to update the path and add a query parameter, you'd have to do this:
uri = uri.replace(
path: 'new/path',
query: 'foo=true'
Now let's say you want update the query without losing what you already have:
Map query = new Map.from(uri.queryParameters);
query['bar'] = '10';
uri = uri.replace(queryParameters: query);
As you can see, incremental or fluent-style URI mutations become a hassle with the core
Uri class.
With fluri, the above interactions are easy:
import 'package:fluri/fluri.dart';
Fluri uri = new Fluri()
..scheme = 'https'
..host = 'example.com'
..path = 'path/to/resource';
..path = 'new/path'
..query = 'foo=true';
uri.updateQuery({'bar': '10'});

A fluent URI mutation library.

WMJX (106.7 FM; "Magic 106.7") is a radio station licensed to Boston, Massachusetts. It has an adult contemporary format. The station's transmitter is located atop the Prudential Tower in Downtown Boston, and its studios are located in the Dorchester section of Boston. The station is one of Boston's most successful radio stations. WMJX broadcasts Christmas music year round on their HD2 subchannel.
The 106.7 frequency in Boston was first used on December 15, 1957[2] as WBZ-FM, the FM complement to WBZ, under the ownership of Westinghouse Broadcasting. The station's earliest format was a classical music format, and later evolved into a combination simulcast of the AM station during the morning, with the classical music at other times.
On December 31, 1971, WBZ-FM became a rock music station as "Rockin' Stereo 106.7", programming mostly top 40 with some album cuts. Although automated, it featured voice-tracked announcing from Clark Smidt (who also programmed the station) and Ken Shelton. For a time in the mid-1970s, WBZ-FM was Boston's second most popular top 40 station, trailing only WRKO. In 1975, both Smidt and Shelton left to join WCOZ, which was changing formats from beautiful-music to album-oriented rock. By 1979, WBZ-FM had drifted into an automated album-oriented rock format itself, which remained in place through 1981.
During the years as a rock station, WBZ-FM also simulcast the hourly newscasts from WBZ, the commercial spots on which were the only commercials heard on the FM side.
In 1981, WBZ-FM was sold to Greater Media, becoming that company's first Boston station. Under the new ownership, the station signed off at the end of 1981. During this silent period, Greater Media installed a new transmitter and increased the height of the antenna on the WBZ-TV tower. A few years later, the transmission equipment was relocated to the Prudential Tower, improving the station's signal in Downtown Boston.
The new 106.7 signed on at 6 p.m. on January 6, 1982 as WMJX with program director Jack Casey delivering the legal ID: "This is WMJX, Boston" followed by a short welcome message from General Manager Bill Campbell. The station debuted the adult contemporary format pioneered by Greater Media at WMGK in Philadelphia, and also heard on WMGQ in New Brunswick, New Jersey and WMJC in Detroit, and branded as "Magic 106.7". The first song on "Magic" was "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful. The initial air staff consisted of (Bob) Cohen and (Lori) Kelman in the Morning from 5-9AM; Doug Collins from 9AM-1PM; Ed Brand from 1-5PM; David Allan Boucher from 5-9 PM and Nancy Quill from 9PM-1AM. Due in part to the "get-acquainted-free offer" of commercial-free programming which Magic aired during its first six months of operation, the station quickly became the highest-rated adult contemporary station in Boston, reaching a 5.3 share of 12+ (according to Arbitron) listeners within its first year.
Upon debuting, WMJX faced several competitors, including WROR (98.5 FM, now the current WBZ-FM), WVBF (105.7 FM, now the current WROR-FM), WSSH (99.5 FM, now WCRB), and, to some extent, easy listening station WJIB (96.9 FM, now WBQT); however, during the 1990s, all four stations changed formats. (WROR-FM and WBQT are now also owned by Greater Media; the company at one time also operated the 99.5 frequency as WKLB-FM.)
Two of the personalities on Magic, Nancy Quill and David Allan Boucher, have been on the station since its inception. Quill has long been the weekday midday hostess; Boucher hosts the very popular nighttime show Bedtime Magic, and is also heard on various stations around the country.
WMJX has had only four program directors during its entire run. Jack Casey was the original program director from 1981 to 1986, followed by Phil Redo. Don Kelley served as the Program Director from October 1989 to February 2012. Cadillac Jack was named program director in 2013.
For much of the early 2000s (except for 2005), WMJX was one of the very few AC stations not to broadcast wall-to-wall Christmas music during the weeks leading up to Christmas. In 2005, WMJX joined the bandwagon and broadcast an all-Christmas format from the day after Thanksgiving through December 25. It did not do so again until 2012 (choosing to change to Christmas music on December 5),[3] although sister station WROR-FM broadcast an all-Christmas format during the holidays from 2007–11. However, during a 24-hour period from 6 p.m. Christmas Eve to 6 p.m. Christmas Day, WMJX presents a commercial free program called The Magic Of Christmas. While it is billed as "traditional" Christmas music, most of the songs are new age or smooth jazz arrangements of holiday favorites. One fan of the show spent months identifying the Magic of Christmas set list.[4]
WMJX frequently edited the songs they play to make them fit the "soft rock" format. The change in management in 2013, marked the end of the policy of "home grown" edits, and most (if not all) of these songs were replaced with the full versions that were supplied by the record companies.
Cool, Hot or Green
In 2008, WMJX ran a contest titled Cool, Hot or Green. The prize was advertised as a new car, a choice of a "cool" Mercedes-Benz C-series sedan, a "hot" Audi TT convertible or a "green" Toyota Prius. A complaint was filed when it was learned that the prize was a two year lease on one of the three cars, and would only be awarded if the winner qualified for the lease. In response the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a $4,000 fine to Greater Media, the station's owners.[5][6]
In early 2006, WMJX launched its digital HD2 sidechannel with a Smooth Jazz format, a mix of traditional and contemporary jazz, fusion and new adult contemporary music.[7]
In November 2014, WMJX-HD2 switched to all-Christmas music, which has been a normal practice in previous years (the primary station's main adult contemporary format would traditionally move to the HD2 while the analog/HD1 would switch to Christmas music full-time; after Christmas Day, the Christmas music would move to the HD2 and continue until New Year's Day). However, unlike previous years where the smooth jazz format would return after the holiday season, the HD2 sub-channel continues to play round the clock Christmas music.
In 1998, WMJX received a "Radio Active" Grammy Award for programming excellence. In 2007 the station was nominated for the top 25 markets adult contemporary station of the year award by Radio & Records magazine. Other nominees included KOST in Los Angeles, WALK-FM in Patchogue, New York, WLTW in New York City, WBEB in Philadelphia, and KEZK-FM in St. Louis.[9] In 2010 the station received the Marconi award from the National Association of Broadcasters in the AC Station category.[10]
Appearance in popular culture
Ambient-drone artist Oneohtrix Point Never (AKA Daniel Lopatin) takes his name from a play on the station's frequency number as sort of a tribute.[11]

Good news for troubled actress Amanda Bynes. Amanda has just gotten three years probation for driving on a suspended license.Amanda Bynes just pled no contest to driving on a suspended license.
In addition to her probation, she must pay a $300 fine and refrain from driving without a license and insurance.
Bynes has had a string of charges with her behind the wheel. Her last offense occurred in September when she was pulled over in Burbank, CA and did not have a license. Her previous cases, two hit and runs, were thrown out after she provided financial compensation to her victims.
She still has a DUI charge pending.

Alistar Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Introduction and Conclusion
So, live up the good life before RIOT nerfs Blackfire Torch. The amount of damage it give Alistar is just stupid good. After it, you mainly need to just go tanky. Rush the Thornmail more if there are more auto-attack champs like yi or tryn. I'm not a doctor, but I do believe his passive will proc the blackfire torch. If not, it has still been doing a stupid amount of damage. Amumu and Brand are pretty fun with the torch too.
Yay first guide done, now time to wait for the new items to make one that actually matters!

Set out on a foot safari with your armed ranger and learn the secrets of tracking African game or just enjoy the trees, birds and stunning scenery. when the heat of the African sun has diminished and the shadows are longer, head out again on a sundowner safari, where you will stop to watch the sun set on this bushveld paradise and enjoy your favorite sundowner drink. Once the sun has set and darkness descends, set off again for a night safari where the more nocturnal creatures now rule the bush.
Lion, elephant, black and white rhino, buffalo, leopard - Big Five- also cheetah and wild dog - Magnificent seven. Giraffe, zebra, warthog, baboon, monkey, hippo, crocodile, and a variety of antelope including kudu, impala, waterbuck, Springbok, Wildebeest, Eland, Blesbok, Tsessebe and Steenbok are regularly seen, along with a number of the more elusive or less common animals.

Sharing all the wonders that an African game reserve has with children is one of the pleasures that the Impodimo team treasures. The safety of children on safari is of paramount importance to our staff and for this reason we reserve the right to limit children's participation on safaris designed to bring you, the parent, close to big game. For this reason we have created the concept of the 'bush bumble' where we encourage parents to join their children on a game drive designed to focus on the little things.

Choice Auto Sales JD Byrider Choice Auto Sales following in footsteps of JD Byrider - purchased 08 Kia Rio, AC died after 29 days, $4000 in repairs later they want to repo! FRAUD WARRANTY! CHOP SHOP JOB ON CATALYTIC CONVERTERS! Delray Beach Florida
*Consumer Comment: Two questions
The car was sold for $11,000 and we decided on a 3 year contract instead of a 6 year loan. I was to be making payments of $170 bi-monthly. I was told that the car had an 18 month 18,000 mile warranty that covered everything but basic mantainence such as windshield wipers, tires etc.
Not even a month later, the car's AC died and I was told by Terry "there's nothing we can do to help you" and was hung up on when I brought up the supposed warranty.
Not even 10 days after that one of my car's engine coils burnt out... The answer from Terry was the same "there's nothing we can do to help you" and dead air when he hung up on me. I fixed the engine coil out of my own pocket.
4 months ago 4 of my engine coils burnt out. The answer from Terry was, again, the same. At that point in time I did not replace the coils until the rest of them burnt out not even two weeks ago. I'd had it then. I had the coils completely replaced only to see the rest of my car break down to the point where it would run but at a max speed of 15 MPH. Terry, however, was Hell bent on riding me for my payment and would quickly hang up if I brought up the warranty or the fact that the car was now sitting at the Coral Springs Auto Mall Kia repair shop.
The diagnosis? The Oil filters had never been changed, there was sludge in my intake, my catalytic converters were not only fried but the honey combs had been busted out.
All of this was discovered after having the coils replaced, the sludge cleaned out, and god only knows what else only to have the car to break down on them during a test drive in which they then discovered the busted catalytic converters and the bad 02 sensor.
So basically instead of taking my Kia in to have it completely repaired under it's still present Emissions Warranty, they busted out the honey combs themselves, didn't clean the engine, did a quick patch and fix job, and sold my car for $6,000 over Kelley Blue Book value!
Now they're refusing to repay me the $700 I've spent out of pocket to fix this car or acknowledge the fact that because of the car breaking down I've lost my job due to having to A.) crawl into work 45 minutes late with a car that wouldn't go over 10 MPH and B.) having to call out of work altogether to deal with this mess due to lack of transportation. They're refusing to replace the car, and have since put it out on their repo list for missing ONE $170 payment the same week I shelled out the $700. And by the way if the warranty for the emissions hadn't been in place it would have cost me $3000.00 in parts PLUS labor to get this car fixed.
This place is nothing but one big scam that employs fraudulent tactics in order to lure in unsuspecting buyers.
UPDATE: Terry NOW states that they will not believe me that the car had an issue as "their mechanic" stated the car was in perfect order and that I must be lying because I didn't bring the car back to them for him to fix for me. This is regardless of the fact that I have my receipts and a sworn statement from the service manager at the Coral Springs Auto Mall.
I'm planning to sue them for the cost of the car plus cost of repair plus damages for losing my job as it was directly related to the lemon car that they sold me.

Even if there are a lot of highly skilled and talented individuals around you, it is still hard to find and bring the right one to your company. Human resourcing is a lengthy procedure, from the job posting up to the training period. It will take much of your time and might cost you a lot of money. Besides, not all the highly skilled professionals are the best for your company's needs. You may also consider the following factors:
- Is her/his talent fits your needs?
- Can you afford his expected salary base on his/her capabilities?
- Is he/she an innovative person and willing to learn new things to empower his/her knowledge and use it for the benefits of your company?
- Is her/his loyalty can be yours? Can he/she make your company's confidential information secret?
- Can you count on him/her during your company's ups and downs?
- Will he/she care about your business?
These are just some of the factors that you can consider to find the best talents for your business. I know what you think; it is not that easy to find a talent that has these skills. Now, let's just say, you find the right one, you succeed in making him/her work for you. But there are still treats that you will lose this asset of yours. Now, here are the best practices to retain your best talents:
- Competitive Salary – Be realistic, you know the worth of your talent's ability. You know how much his/her worth, so give justice to his/her worth in the success of your company.
- Bonus – Aside from giving them the right salary, you may also consider giving them bonuses for any successful projects. This will keep them motivated to work much better for the next round.
- Learn to Appreciate – However, not all appreciation of their work will cost you money. You can say "thank you", "good job", "nice work", or other motivational words to keep them going.
- Be a Leader – Instead of saying "do it!" you can say "let's do it" or a simple "we can do it" will make them the feeling that you are on their side. Be a leader rather than a boss. Being a leader to your employees will not decrease your authority, besides you will earn respect from them.
- Be a Family – Treat them as your family rather than your regular employees. Be considerate and know their needs. When you treat them as your family, you can ensure that you can have their loyalty.
Having best talents in your company is a gem that you have to treasure. It is not easy to start a new relationship over and over again. That is why it is crucial to building a long-term relationship with your employees whether they are inside your company building or outsourced like freelancers. Even if their salary is not that high, if you know how to treat them, you can still gain their respect and loyalty. No matter what, a good employee-employer relationship will keep you away from any risk, and it will be a benefit for the both of you. The best talents are just like a piece of your jigsaw puzzle; you need them to complete the puzzle.

Statement from NHDP Chair Ray Buckley Regarding the New Hampshire State Senate Primary Election Results
Concord – New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley released the following statement regarding the New Hampshire state Senate primary election results.
"This evening, the people of New Hampshire have witnessed the end to a NH state Senate primary election that brought out the best in the Democrats, and the worst in Republicans. While our Democratic state Senators and candidates were unified and on the ground reaching out to voters, the Republican state Senate candidates were divided and distracted by constant bickering.
The best interests of New Hampshire voters were lost among the primary battles waged between Republicans, who consistently tried to portray themselves as more right-wing and more extreme than their opponent. Amidst all the in-fighting, the Republican state Senate candidates lost sight of the commonsense, cooperative approach to politics that we take here in New Hampshire.
Our Democratic state Senators and candidates have maintained a unified front that will forge ahead toward November and uphold the Democratic Majority in the Senate that helped to keep New Hampshire's unemployment rate 40% below the national average, and worked to make our state a regional leader in the economic recovery effort.
New Hampshire needs strong and steadfast leadership to tackle the challenges ahead, and only the Democrats have shown the unity and dedication necessary to get the job done."

What's In The Urn
Strangers offered me to join them in a drink
I met them on a mountain edge while skiing
They seemed like friendly normal people then
So what could happen in a simple cabin?
Finding that which is not there or vanquished
What is there that cannot be perceived?
Placed upon the mantel piece are ashes in the cabin
Brass vase, a receptacle for lost souls sits in repose
A death vase to glare at over cognac
By the sober flames cast by
A fire place glow observed in action
Liquid spirits pour out their poison
In the cozy living room inside the cabin
Drinks alone cannot remove this feeling of distraction
The urn is piercing through my soul
People belong in cemeteries you know
With all due respect for the dead
Scatter them at sea when they're deceased
Not paraded around in gloom to cause unease
Or as a center piece for living rooms
I'm not relieved to find it is a lizard on the shelf
To be exact, an exotic iguana family friend entombed
And to assume that fact makes this matter optimal
I beg to differ on that point and voice my opinion later
There must be a plot of ground outside
Or toilet somewhere to flush it down
But better left unsaid, as they are bereaved about the death
And I am their invited guest
Iguana tried consuming the family's cat
Another favorite pet I guess
It is surmised, that's how it met its end
Wound up expired inside the urn
The receptacle was there and going nowhere on its own
I swear it follows me from room to room
By embers glow and ash, shadowing my every move
A brass smile casting off the urn, leaving me concerned
I could not take my leave
The container followed me
So I waited, fixated on the thing
Is it coming back to life to eat more bugs or me?
Finding that which is not there
Is easier in the dark
Rising to the occasion of the day that breaks
I must escape the premises to continue skiing
Into the frozen world outside I fly
With no discernible signs or paths to lead or learn
I get away, no time to say good-byes or find my way
Never again will I say; what's in the urn

I sat quietly and waited, making the noises he had come to know, calling him in his newly given name. His face would appear, cautiously calculating my intent, he would approach. The promise of food and gentle touch too much to deny. And so we did the "Little Prince's" taming dance, each aware of the other and the possibility of betrayal.
cold eyes, empty heart
frost forming on life's edges
winter's numbing kiss
Our meetings continued, less cautious greetings, more welcome contact, minimal conversation. His coat was becoming more ragged in spite of attempts to keep it up, his gait slowing as our good-byes became short walks together. He could not leave his place, his home, even though it had left him – alone, to fend for himself.
hoarfrost in retreat
sunrise gently awakens
friendships warming blood
He withdrew – I would wait, quietly, whisper the name he had come to know, make the sounds that signaled "all clear". I searched for him, stood silent and listened for his weakening call, shed tears in the cold rain of November. His last call, a feeble attempt at good-bye, led me to him. Alone, cold, hungry, he lay there, rolled his eyes as I cradled his cold and fading spirit. He shivered – and left.

Though my stall here is empty now
If you listen close...
You can hear me running through a greener pasture
Your sorrow opens the gate and releases me free
Thank you for rescuing me from worldly darkness
And giving me love unsurpassed
So that I may now run with others so loved...
But never forgotten
I am a child again young and lean my spirit afire
And oh how our spirits thrive here
Never again to feel the pain of the earth
Hear me running!
For your tears have watered the grasses for me
In God's Greener Pasture

Harambe, living in captivity...
mock forest of the Cincinnati Zoo,
in human world, as well as you can be,
beneath those peering eyes, that visit you.
And what bad fate for you when suddenly
without your fault, a child falls in your space.
At first, you seemed to act quite caringly;
you held his hand and looked into his face.
But then the shrieks of humans made you wild
and frantic, as you soon became afraid.
You dragged him to and fro, that little child...
and chaos then ensued, decisions made.
If only they had found a simple way;
removed the crowd from scaring you with screams,
perhaps your primate nature would then play
into a more protective stance, it seems.
Or maybe darted you to bring you down
and not forever, just a little while,
to rescue the small boy and take the crown
for saving both and ending with a smile.
Poor Harambe, Gorilla, your sad day
to have them end your life for their neglect
of building an enclosure that some way
allowed a tiny child to fall direct.
Within your borrowed space of humankind,
where you knew not of freedom, nature's way,
you had to face your end of days maligned
as a dark beast to pay the price that day.
Harambe, living in captivity,
mock forest of the Cincinnati Zoo,
not many of you left on Earth to see;
so sorry that this fate has come to you.

A stealthy tiger stalks his prey
His eyes alight with cunning gleam;
And tho' the world may peaceful seem
The lissome springboks graze and play --
The danger lurks, not far away
He crouches low, his muscles taught
While calculations fill his mind
The perfect arc of force to find;
His quarry, still without a thought
Of what design the tiger sought
The tiger springs, the creatures flee
His mighty limbs with awesome force
Perform their planned and deadly course;
Now lies the springbok piteously
Forever torn from things that be
And o'er his corpse presides the prince
His solid jowls bespecked with blood
His razor claws in crimson flood;
He glories in these trickling glints
That show his skill in ruby tints
And when the prince has et his fill
The birds descend to eat the rest
To feed the young ones in the nest;
But on the tiger roams at will
He's free to wander, hunt, and kill

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
"Lord, let me join her." he would pray.
"Let this day be my last."
Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And hear passers-by whisper, "How sweet."
One gray and misty morning,
He had hoped for sunnier skies
To plant fall bloomers at her graveside;
But there, to his surprise…
Stood an old dog beside her stone;
Thin and dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as Bob approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as Bob planted flowers,
Carefully sniffing each one Bob put in place.
After the last one was planted, he sniffed it;
Then turned and licked Bob's face.
Bob smiled. "I had a dog when I was young…
Pal…he was a mighty good one too.
So, if you don't mind old fella,
That's what I'll call you."
Pal may have been an old dog,
But he was smart and handsome in his way;
So they made a deal, Bob would give him a meal
And a bath, if he decided to stay.
Pal loved his bath, then rolled in the grass.
He slept on a blanket in the den.
In the night, he dragged it next to Bob's bed.
He intended to be Bob's best friend.
Pal was such a good dog, housebroken too;
Never made a mess or got in trouble.
He knew about newspapers, slippers and Frisbees;
And when Bob called, he'd come on the double.
Yes, Pal gave Bob's life new purpose.
A special bond of friendship was cast.
And never again did Bob pray,
"Lord, let this day be my last."
For twelve years, the very best of friends,
Together night and day;
And so it was, until one evening,
Pal quietly passed away.
Bob held Pal in his arms and wept.
"Oh, Pal…my best friend…you saved my life."
He caressed Pal as he reminisced;
Then, sometime in the night, Bob joined his wife.
The next morning, an old woman,
Tears welling in her sad and lonely eyes,
Brought fresh flowers to her husband's grave;
But there, to her surprise….
Stood an old dog beside the stone,
Thin an dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as she approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as she took old flowers
And put fresh ones in their place.
He carefully sniffed the fresh ones,
Then, turned and licked her face.
She smiled through her tears.
"I had a dog when I was young...
A good one too. His name was Pal."

I'm sitting cross legged on the side of the road
while Dad holds my shoulders, in trying to console me,
but tears, uncontrolled, keep tumbling down.
Most stunning, right now, is the fear, I've not known
Never before, .....had I felt so alone.
Reality has settled, like darkness around me
A first-time encounter with death and it's toll
Though, how many times, I have played out the role?
It was always the same.....
Just a game to be played
The drama? Just kid's-stuff.....who knew what it meant?
Bang, Bang you're dead!...
Point a finger .... he's dead
A stab, rubber swords, ... at my eight year old heart ?
While slowly, with drama, we played out the parts
Our death scenes, .....pretending to take a last breath
Then, back on our knees, and up in a flash
ready again, to reverse all the rules......
Death wasn't real........and never this cruel
Tonight, driving home
a deer out of nowhere,
A thump, and a jar, a flash in the light
And in the dash of a moment, ....a crumpling crash
Make-believe shatters, in the path of our car
Dad reaching his hand, to check I'm alright
Then opens the door out into the night
Reluctantly I follow his somber silhouette
And met by a moment I'll never forget
The air bitter cold, has taken our breaths
I turn eyes away, but now it's too late
Glass lifeless eyes stare back in the lights
I'm strangled by silence, and the shattering sight
as still and cold, as real as if stones,
The deer's lifeless eyes, stare into the night
I feel such a change in the stars and the sky
I felt something die, in a child's heart tonight

Moans echo across the lands
from the souls who are lost
drifting, searching, seeking
forever doomed to exile.
Some brought down in their prime
foully murdered by sharpened steel
plunged into them with hatred.
Or maybe by plain greed.
Soldiers killed in needless wars
all for the rape of the innocent.
Governments hungry for more
oil, gold and other things.
Yes too, the souls of creatures
many now extinct voice their
sorrow with despairing moans.
That echo into our minds and hearts.
Mingling together they strike fear
that judders in our very being.
As we huddle in our beds shivering
knowing it is us who caused this damage

Deep in the earth, a crypt of rock
slumber guarded by casket locked
Lips grope silence 'ever more
rasping thought, remembers whispered lore
Outstretched palms the roots do clench
tranquility stilled by festered stench
And eyes, sleep caked, are propped ajar
ignites no life, but collapsed star
Burned blades sigh, Winds' dying gasp
bones brittle snap within her clasp
A lonesome howl the moon does draw
vigil broken, it twists its maw
Upon an arena of endless stone
the granite gates they've passed alone
And entered a world of burning eyes
eluded the judge of smoldering cries
A faultless gait, no stumbled draw
a reaping brought by scythe and claw
Opal edge which shrouds a cause
aberrant blade shapes nature's laws
Dictate a script, the stars can share
an open secret, a language bare
Steps continue, feet are drawn
across gray grass, undying pawn

A ghastly cadaver drops, for whose noble sake?
To ravish the grandeur of wildlife
In the dead of night; to mangle
Creation's gift and its soft flutters,
Where each tender beast moves in a row
Linking a primal, fond tie with nature's deities…
But the affinity with innocent children, its tribe
Is snuffed with one ruthless shot in the forest
When pitiless minds become delirious… heinous
As a giraffe, a leopard perishes without knowing
The lithe body quickly turns into a gaunt shadow,
Just like that: unable to play with butterflies
And race with own calf or cubs along an inlet...
O hollow night, and a lamp of silence are drained
By the vicious game from predators, inhumane,
That no one can tell, for whose noble sake?

one remains
they both stretch

Cecil the lion of Zimbabwe, famous and beloved,
Shot by a bow hunter after being lured from his home;
It took Cecil forty hours to die, how he must have suffered,
They tracked him down and shot, skinned and beheaded him.
It was senseless, cowardly, cruel and barbaric,
Oh I weep for Cecil the lion with the rest of the world;
And all animals victims of trophy hunters who kill for the fun,
Our voices must be united and be strong, we must end poaching.
We must demand justice for Cecil and all animals,
The hunting for sport must be stopped as it is murder;
No amount of money makes it right, no more heads on walls,
No more animals killed by cowards with big egos and money to do it.
Sign a petition, make your voice heard loudly,
Laws need to change so that animals no longer die;
This particular killer will be tracked down just like he did,
But we will be more humane, we won't shot, skin and behead him.
This coward in hiding must face justice in Zimbabwe.

Tasha was a wooly bear of a chow
Who found a homeless kitten somehow
He followed her home and she took over his care
Grooming and cleaning, smoothing his unruly hair
For months they made their daily appointed rounds
On the woody paths they considered their grounds
Eating and sleeping together and always by her side
The kitten called Brother was his "Mother's" pride
One day Tasha was upset we could see
Brother was gone where could he be
Looking and searching the nearby wood
Was fruitless revealing nothing of any good
Tasha decided she would take the task on
She looked back at us and then was gone
Later she arrived with head hanging low
But that wasn't all she had something to show
A small cat she held ever so gently
Breathing no longer his life gone evidently
Her heart was broken she couldn't recover
Her small son departed so for her it was all over
Soon thereafter Tasha knew that find him she might
Sadly the rainbow bridge was where they would reunite
But in evening's fading light two shadows are sometimes seen
Showing those who might glimpse this unforgettable scene
How much love between two small creatures there had been

On the plains in the Texas panhandle
The fight for survival is real
As I watched from the derrick
On a short smoke break
A scene rather harsh and surreal
A cottontail bunny was having his way
In a pasture of gold knee high grass
When a hungry coyote, prowling late in the day
Caught his scent on the breeze as it passed
The bunny must have sensed, the coyote was near
He ran circles and made figure 8 bows
Confusing the canine, wound up chasing his tail
While the bunny escaped down the road
But nature has a way of being quite cruel
As a hawk observed from above
As he swooped down, the poor bunny froze
In a scene void of malice and love
With the rabbit in tow, still kicking and screaming
The hawk not making a sound
Somehow lost his grip, dropping his prey
Who died instantly hitting the ground
In all the commotion, the old coyote
Had watched and raced to the kill
Snatching him up and never looking back
Running swiftly over a hill
I stood there amazed, as the scene played out
This microcosm of struggles and strife
Then thought about destiny, no matter how hard you fight
The unfairness and the fragility of life

You feel your body falling in blackness.
You snatch your shoulder to the right.
The nausea stops.
The bottomless pit is hell.
Do not enter the midnight.
Up in the window, stands a coyote.
His teeth are bared in detestation.
He howls his satanic verses.
Abomination is his curse.
Do not confront this animal.
Life fades.
Humankind is mentally dead.
They have goaded the animals with the splicing of human brain.
A dog walks with the persona of man.
Do not speak to him.
In the hollow of a tree with leaves as a covering, lies a wolf.
Her teeth are gleaming as she slyly looks.
She stands and yowls her satanic verses.
Atrocity is her hatred.
Do not attack.
Run as fast as you can.
Satan is on a journey to win.
Shout for the Holy Spirit to enter.
Abhor venerating the regards of our creator.
Do this to be save.
Satanic verses you hear in the howls and yowls of the pacts.
They speak in tongue about your nicks and knacks.
Purloins humankind has become by affronting the world the omnipotent formed.
The great divided is no more.
Satanic verses are the faunas' voices.
Beware the midnight!

I have become the tree, perched on a limb,
Bow in hand, camouflaged grey, black, and brown.
Looking with my eyes, not moving my brim,
Detecting movement, the forest slows down.
Suddenly, a flicker of ear and tail,
Flashes in the sun entering my view.
Deer browsing, eyes darting, heads bob, ears flail,
Squirrel climbs near, my position askew.
Chattering loudly, bushy tail thrashing,
Alerting of danger for all to hear.
Blue jay flies in and joins with jeers lashing,
Deer, with a flick of the flag, disappear.
Why can't humans communicate so well,
Spanning differences, on earth where we dwell?

Gray naked trees, forest lawn cloaked in white
Wearing red, bearing arms, hiding motionless and pious
Appearing out of nowhere, an apparition so quiet
One shot rang out, then suddenly dead silence
Nearly half a century, has passed since that year
A revelation came to me, lucidly clear
So beautiful and graceful, yet to live in fear
A life resolving murder, of a helpless deer

Am I wrong to ponder
Just how inconsiderate we are
From where we used to be
Today we think we're stars
Trust me we're no twinkle
In anybodies eyes,
Internally we should despise
Simply look how we treat the innocent
When they'll never produce our whatever
Meaning means that
Inhumane, as humans sever
Lets just close our eyes
Whilst role reversal plays
When a Gorilla tells you what to do
Do you have the balls to say nae
Will this ever happen
What humans dreams becomes
I truly hope their dreams come true
Evolutions succumb

Requiem of a Phoenix
Silhouettes and storm clouds loom,
etched against a blackened sky
by bolts of electric blue
and ashen moon rays.
I mourn at dusk; the death of the light.
Languid flames dance
from tree to tree,
as a passing of the torch
to the sacrificial pyre.
I mourn by fire; the death of the light.
A tormented world in anguish
heaves a guttural howl,
which resonates through the darkness
carving deep channels in tangible silence.
I mourn in song; the death of the light.
Absently numb, I view it all
with a looming realization
that I was never made for this world
captive to flesh and desolation.
I mourn alone; the death of the light.
I surrender to my captivity.
I surrender to the agony.
I surrender to the storm and fire.
I embrace the void.
From the cinders of night
skyward I strain on bolts of electric blue
pursuing the tranquility of the moonlight.
Unqualified freedom granted by absolute loss
is a new captivity.
So mourn I at daybreak, the death of the night.

The day I brought you home
I knocked on the door
I waited outside
In hopes he would adore
Who was I kidding
You were the cutest of all
It was nothing but fitting
He loved what he saw
You ran in circles
But never did bark
Found a spot in our bed
And a place in our hearts
You're ready to leave
I see it in your eyes
I'm preparing to grieve
And say my good byes
The others have gone
Leaving just you
You're becoming so weak
You want to go too
But you stand and stare
What are you thinking
Are you even aware
Your boat is sinking
Or did you already go
Leaving your flesh
Are you at peace somewhere
You can finally rest
"You've got me on my knees, Layla
Begging darling please, Layla"

Dead puppies are no fun
Dead puppies rotting in the sun
Dead puppies have no soul?
Dead puppies it takes its toll
Dead puppies no fun at all
Dead puppies don't chase balls
Dead puppies stuck in walls
Dead puppies hit by cars
Dead puppies out side bars
Dead puppies succumb to Parvo
Dead puppies named Pete and Margo
Dead puppies Frozen cold
Dead puppies never old
Dead puppies never yap
Dead puppies in a little girls lap
dead Puppies euthanize
Dead puppies, Owners out side cry
Dead puppies missing eyes
Dead puppies covered in flies
Dead Puppies covered in feces
Dead puppies torn to pieces
Dead puppies with IV's
Dead puppies with broken knees
Dead puppies that where once sick
Dead puppies do no tricks
Dead puppies do not run
Dead puppies are no fun
***NOTE*** This is a bit morbid but it is the realities of an Animal hospital. I worked at one and unfortunately this is the dark side of the animal hospitals. We deal with a lot of dead puppies.

Three of my chickens are dead and they have left a hole in my heart,
I want to mark their passing, prove that they were alive and very much loved by me,
They were real, breathing and full of life from the start,
Oh they made me laugh, so hilarious and quirky; such fun hidden away on our allotment,
They did no great deeds, were not famous and hardly anyone knew they were there,
Alert and trusting, they followed my steps, looked at me with their heads to one side, wondering and seeing,
They slept in my arms and closed their tiny eyes when I stroked under their beaks,
Laid eggs and loved wholemeal bread, sometimes combining the two in to a healthy treat in their run, pecking and pinching whatever they could,
Stood on my spade when I was trying to dig, and ate the biggest worms I ever did see,
Had me running in circles to catch them, jumped out of the hutch when I thought I'd put them in,
Kicked over their food tin so I'd give them more and always hid in the shed,
Rearranged their sleeping compartments when I had just cleaned them out, kicking the neat straw all over,
Ate all of my winter cabbages and nibbled at my sprouts, sat on the compost heap and looked around, Queens of the allotment!
Were brave in the face of danger, survived against the odds,
When poorly, they slept cozily in my basement, and understood when it was time to die,
They may have only been chickens to most, but to me they were my friends,
Always pleased to see me, they needed me, and greeted me loudly every day,
Three lives have been taken, but I will not forget them,
I will look back and smile, and talk kindly of Muriel, Edith and Ethel,
For they were the three hens that taught me that all life is precious, no matter how unnoticeable and small.

Harambe, he enjoyed his life,
had nothing much to do.
He sat around and ate all day
in the Cincinnati Zoo.
Born in Texas in ninety-nine,
to Ohio then he went.
He only lived there sixteen months,
before his life was spent.
He was a massive silver back,
largest gorillas known.
He led and supervised his troop
like a king upon a throne.
Was destined to become a dad
when he had grown some more.
Mara and Chewie were his girls;
both of them he did adore.
One day there was a little boy,
who tried to get quite near.
He fell into Harambe's cage
and the folks began to fear.
He tried to save the boy that day.
Confused with all the din,
perhaps he was somewhat too rough
and thought that the boy was kin.
That little boy was standing there
when they shot Harambe dead.
He knew not what was happening,
he was not feeling dread.
The moral of this sad, sad tale
is don't get in a cage,
neither man nor "savage" beast,
you'll both feel mankind's rage.

Who would believe your slim elegant body would win my affection,
when you gracelessly step on toes? Your soft doe skin of cream
spotted brown, floppy ears I threaten to turn into gloves as a joke.
Through many chain jangle calls for walks where you race and lunge
and bark fighting for the right to be with me, how could I turn you away?
When you almost die I am ready to give you away to death, hating the sick
green puke, you become skinnier despite the surgery until finally
one simple shot brings you back to us alive, slurping our hands and faces.
Busy days of science and humanities and government tucked up in a chair,
I forgot you, but you begged let me even eat your apple. let me sit in your lap
but you're so big now you don't fit and don't like apple. Chocolate chips cookies, though, a whole batch scarfed from the table and then you wiggle and wag tail,
snarl, your teeth clenched when I offer just one more. We all know who is guilty,
not you, your innocence, your steadfast defense, says it is our family who has forgot.
Finally, it is too late. You hurt too bad, spine enflamed, barely able to walk
or eat. Tomorrow your last day. I pick up the chain, you race happy to join me
down the row of maples losing their last autumn leaves, where my brother and I lead you plodding like an old man, stopping to breathe, and I see stars in my eyes,
saying goodbye. Goodbye to the lady of our family, the Dalmatian Duchess
who loved us best, walked beside us through our childhood days like a guardian.
He croaked.

Hello my lovelies,
I'm a huge fan of blazers! They are not only good as a "work wear" for the office but I can wear it anywhere. So basic and classic but yet chic piece in my wardrobe.
Don't be afraid of mixing things you thought they don't go together at all! This time I went for the mix of khaki color and the stripes. In my opinion it works really good in case you keep the rest of your outfit pretty simple. Some accessories like bag, shoes and sunglasses will make your outfit more chic and fashionable.
What do you think about it? Looking forward for your opinion in the comments below and see you next time! Wish you a good rest of the weekend and don't forget to follow me on Bloglovin to stay always updated!

Beauty moments with Clinique
Hello my lovelies!
Let's talk about some beauty must-have products.
I have to admit that I simply adore make-up and everything around. Except of the days at home I'm wearing it every single day. The most important thing for me is to look as natural as it's possible at all (like with this new BIY pigment drops). For me there is nothing worse than looking like you are wearing a mask on your face. But it's only my personal opinion and please don't judge me for this.

Modern elegance
Hello my lovelies!
After several years if studying finally I finished my master degree! So now it's time for a new chapter in my life full of new ideas and projects.
Today I'm showing you my latest look with my new bag in blush pink color. Several weeks ago I received this beauty from the upcoming designer from Greece named One&Only and felt immediately in love with it! Look at that shape and color, isn't this bag amazing? Particularly I love wearing it with dark and neutral outfits, so it will become to an eye-catch of the whole outfit.

Staying stylish in black
Hello my lovelies!
It's been a while since my last post here but finally I got some time in-between writing my master thesis and some office work. And here we are with my new and first post for this year.
Today we'll talk again about the black color. Probably you know me already good enough and can tell immediately that the black color is my favorite one. I don't know why but it's just my thing since I can remember myself. One of the reasons why I adore black is because it will never go out of fashion, it's and it will be always in.

Staying stylish while exploring the city
Hello my lovelies!
Do you know the feeling when you find the piece and you know it was made for you? The same was with me and this amazing cashmere sweater. It was pretty expensive for Zara but it definitely worth it because of fantastic quality! For me it has been always a problem to find some soft and cozy sweater. So if I find it, I get it immediately! Not to forget the fact that it's a really basic piece, which I can wear not only this season but also next ones.

How to style your UGG in a different way
Hello my lovelies!
Finally it's time of the year when I can wrap up in some cozy knit and wear #myCLASSICstyle UGG boots!
Probably everyone knows the UGG boots but, to be honest, I never owned the pair of them for some unknown reason. These boots are the most comfortable ones I ever owned. Most of all they are so fluffy and cozy but yet stylish shoes for colder days! So now I couldn't be happier finally to have them in this amazing grey color (visit here for some more colors and styles), such a perfect match to my brand new Chloe Faye bag!

US media reports say the country's top intelligence agency has found that Russia interfered in the US presidential election to help Trump win.
The top intelligence agency in the US has concluded that Russia played a covert role in the 2016 presidential elections to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign and help Donald Trump win the White House, according to reports.
The Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) 'assessment' was carried by the Washington Post and New York Times on Saturday, provoking a strong reaction from President-elect Donald Trump's transition team.
"These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction," Trump's transition team said in a statement after the reports were published.
"The election ended a long time ago in one of the biggest Electoral College victories in history. It's now time to move on and 'Make America Great Again.'"
The fierce rebuke from the Trump's camp has cast doubts over his future relationship with the CIA on which the US administrations mostly depend for assessments concerning potential threats faced by the country.
Trump's dismissal of CIA report fits into broader trend of fostering distrust of all institutions. 1st media, then electoral sys, now intel.— Felicia Sonmez (@feliciasonmez) December 10, 2016
The reports cited US officials, briefed by the CIA on the matter, as saying that individuals with connections to Moscow provided the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks with emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign chief and others.
The reports on Saturday follow US President Barack Obama's order to review all cyber attacks that took place during the 2016 election cycle.
"It is the assessment of the intelligence community that Russia's goal here was to favour one candidate over the other, to help Trump get elected," the Washington Post quoted a senior US official, briefed on an intelligence presentation along with other lawmakers, as saying.
CIA agents told the lawmakers it was "quite clear" that favouring Trump was Russia's goal, according to officials who spoke to the Post, citing growing evidence from multiple sources.
However, some questions remain unanswered, the newspaper said.
For example, intelligence agents don't have proof that Russian officials directed the identified individuals to supply WikiLeaks with the hacked Democratic emails.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has denied links with Russia's government.

Urban Chickens and proposed Federal legislation

I feel vaguely reminded of all the CPSIA nonsense when reading this post at Urban Chickens:
So, if the NAIS is passed, we'll have to get tags/RFID chips for each of our urban chickens and report to the government if we take our chickens anywhere but our own backyards.
Wow. While the intent of the NAIS (disease tracking and "protection against bio-terrorism"), the implementation seems a bit intrusive/awkward if you ask me. ("No Fly List" anyone?)
It seems like the intent is good…but the Federal government once again fumbles in the implementation.
