I Have Nothing to Disclose
This past Saturday Ray and I went to get our eyes examined. I get mine done yearly because I wear contacts and glasses.
I was a little down about the experience because, while my contact prescription stayed the same, -9 in each eye, my slight astigmatism is back in my right eye. It comes and goes. The eye doctor says I'm spending too much time in front of a computer and I need to spend more time not focusing on one. My glasses got a slight tweak to accommodate the astigmatism, but it's not severe enough that they want to put me into a different sort of lens. I really wish I could get lasik!
Anyway, I'm now waiting for my new glasses to come in. Since I have such a high prescription, it seems to take them longer to create my lenses. I ended up using one of my favorite frames instead of getting new frames, since I couldn't find new frames that I liked.
Ray went in for a checkup as well. In 1997 he had lasik surgery done, and he's had perfect vision ever since. Well, it's now been 16 years, and his vision was changing a bit. He now needs glasses for when he's at work, as he's a software developer. He doesn't need them to drive or for anything else. So he's getting a pair of glasses too.
In addition to getting fitted for new contacts and glasses, the other reason that an eye exam is so important is that the doctor checks out the health of your eye to make sure you don't have any number of health issues or problems. An eye doctor might find things like Graves Disease.
October 10th is World Sight Day. If you haven't yet scheduled an eye exam this year, please consider it for your health.
Had my exam in April! I've been really trying to wear my glasses around the house instead of having my contacts in all the time. I see better with them than my lenses but dislike driving with glasses. And I agree, it's important to have your eyes checked regularly.
I'm always excited to find someone out there with a higher prescription than I wear! I'm -7.5 left and -6.75 right, and I am always the blindest person wherever I go
thebeckbeck Yep, my vision is pretty craptacular.
cinseven13 I prefer my contacts, especially for driving! I have to get checked yearly with my vision being as bad as it is
I phoned the optometrist and the podiatrist yesterday. I have appointments booked this month. Actually, I had two doctor appointments this week. Now, if I could just get my butt in gear with working out and eating healthy…
I really put it off more than I should, because my optometrist growing up was my grandfather, so I really don't like going to anyone else now. Slightly less important was the fact that he did it for free, but that's just like adding insult to injury.
I'm like -5.25 in each eye, with slight astigmatism in one. My doctor has said I really could do without torics if I wanted contacts, but the last time I tried them, my normally hard-to-irritate eyes just dealt with it worse and worse over time. It's a shame, because I feel that I saw better with them, when I could stand them!
I go every year too because I have to wear contacts or glasses. My prescription is actually the same as yours, -9. It's good to know I'm not the only one that's blind as a bat lol. I hardly ever wear my glasses because even though I get the extra thinning thing added to my glasses RX, they're still embarrassingly thick and I'm vain lol.

Walking around this area was interesting as you had a mix of bars and restaurants as well as strip clubs, some of which are the oldest in the world.
We found a bar that had a Jaz/Blues band playing some great music to a small crowd of about 30 people. After a couple of drinks it was time to call it a day as it had been a long day and tomorrow we had the long drive to Morro Bay.

David Cameron stands up to Islamists: A lesson for Barack Obama
The contrast between Friday's press conference in London by British Prime Minister David Cameron and Thursday's White House remarks by President Obama could not have been starker. Mr. Cameron delivered a robust assessment of the scale of the Islamist threat to Great Britain and to the free world. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT He told journalists assembled at Downing Street that "what we are facing in Iraq now with ISIL (Islamic State) is a greater threat to our security than we have seen before." While David Cameron appeared self-assured and determined in his approach, Barack Obama came across as a deer in the headlights, unable to outline a coherent U.S. response to a rapidly growing crisis in the Middle East. He made it clear that ISIS must not be allowed to establish an Islamist caliphate in Iraq. If they succeeded, "we would be facing a terrorist state on the shores of the Mediterranean and bordering a NATO …August 30, 2014 3:41 am
Arizona man arrested for burning, urinating on Bible
PHOENIX (Reuters) – A 22-year-old Arizona man calling himself "Dark Lord" has been arrested for allegedly burning a Bible and urinating on it outside a Christian-oriented homeless shelter in northern Arizona, police said on Friday. Eric Minerault was booked into the Yavapai County Detention Center late on Thursday on suspicion of one count of unlawful symbol burning stemming from the incident at the Gospel Rescue Mission, Prescott police spokesman Lieutenant Ken Morley said in a written statement. Police were called to the scene at about 9 p.m. by a mission representative reporting that someone was burning something on the mission's front steps, Morley said. Officers found Minerault standing on the steps, with a burned and wet Bible on the ground near him. He quickly admitted to the act. He told officers the mission was selected because he believed it was a place of Christian worship and he was "cursing the Christians," police said. Asked why, …August 29, 2014 7:53 pm

Get ready for some bizarre food in this next clip. Andrew Zimmern stops at DNA, a restaurant specializing in using all parts of the animal. Andrew eats his way through an array of dishes including horse heart and tongue, venison and polenta topped with dried venison blood and ends the meal with pig blood custard and sour patch coxcombs.
After eating on the wild side at DNA, Andrew heads over to La Banquise, a poutine lovers heaven. At La Barquise, Andrew samples different kinds of poutine and ends the night off with an old fashioned arm wrestling contest.

Khan praises 'supportive' govt after donations pledge
UNICEF UK Ambassador Jemima Khan told ITV News the Department for International Development has been "relentlessly brave and supportive" as the government pledged to match donations to the charity's Syrian appeal.
The charity are raising aid to assist children caught up in the crisis and they estimate that four million youngsters are in urgent need of help with temperatures set to plummet.
Ms Khan said: "We're looking for funds for basic items like blankets and shoes as well as the long term campaigns like vaccinations, sanitation, education.
"But, immediately now, temperatures are about to plummet and we've heard time and time again from inhabitants of those refugee camps...that, even things like blankets and warm clothes are essential survival items that are needed now."

You could make quite the argument Oregon Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota has been the best player in college football this season. Mariota has been nearly flawless this year while leading the second-ranked Ducks to a 6-0 record. On the season, Mariota has completed 100 of 165 passes for 1,724 yards with 17 touchdowns and zero interceptions. The redshirt sophomore has also rushed for 426 yards and eight touchdowns on just 41 attempts.
At 6'4 and 211 lbs., the Honolulu, Hawaii native has great NFL size and several pundits believe Mariota could be the #1 overall pick of the 2014 NFL draft should he decide to skip his last two years of college.
Despite all of his success, the NFL is not something Mariota wants to discuss until after the season.
"My family and I have decided to hold off on these conversations until after the season," Mariota said via John Canzano of Oregon Live. "We're obviously going to put the pros and cons together, and we're going to do what's best for the family. At the same time, my education is important… I love Oregon. I love the community. We'll decide when the time is right."
The Ducks will host the Washington State Cougars Saturday at 10:00 pm EST.

I'm not sure if it is just me but I am starting to really dislike the number of mock drafts that some users are putting out. There are just so many at this point and its over saturating the fanposts section.
I like mock drafts but I don't like being constantly bombarded by people making new mock drafts every single day or every few days. At least wait a few weeks before posting an updated mock draft.
Some users have been posting a mock draft so many times it kind of taking the fun out of mock drafts.
Also if you are going to do a mock draft don't make it one where you're posting results from one of the numerous mock draft websites. These don't really provide anything from your opinion of what will happen. But if you really want to please try and keep all those contained into one fanposts' thread not multiple.
In short please stop making mock drafts every day or every few days (especially if they're from mock draft websites which you're not even making picks for the other teams). The fanposts section is about thoughts and opinions on Buc related matter. Not just a place to make thousands of mock drafts and post them all the time.

Steve Spurrier & National Championship
Stephen Orr Spurrier (born April 20, 1945) is an American college football coach and player. Spurrier is the current head coach of the University of South Carolina's Gamecocks football team. A national championship(s) is the top achievement for any sport or contest in a particular nation or nation state. /5
Steve Spurrier National Championship South Carolina Nick Saban Urban Meyer Les Miles Charlie Strong Jadeveon Clowney Sugar Bowl Coach Martin Kirby Smart Ron Zook Clemson University Kevin Sumlin Gator Nation John Chavis Florida State Boise State Amari Cooper Jesse Palmer
That turned into a game!!! Hope you enjoyed that SEC fans, Jesse Palmer, Steve Spurrier and anyone else who has held this conference above all others for almost a decade now! Congratulations to the Seminoles! An ACC team has taken the National Championship! Now I can go back to not liking Florida State!
this was messaged to me, thanks Iain Poll. Unprecedented success...thats what Urban Meyer bought to the Gator Nation. Two national championships, a Sugar Bowl and a Heisman. He won the 2006 championship with a team largely recruited by Ron Zook, a team that were 'inept'...hmmm well recruited and badly coached I would say. Now the glory days are gone, Urban was a poor recruiter but a great coach, he was replaced by a great recruiter, but a terrible coach (he had never been a head coach before). Now the program is at a cross roads, facing the possibility of decending to the level of Tennessee or Kentucky. Will Muscamp obviously has the passion and the drive, but no where the level of experience or talent. No one in the Gator Nation would be ashamed of our record if there were signs of a competitive future. Steve Spurrier struggled at South Carolina, but there was always the feeling that they were on the verge of somthing special. Not at Florida, not with Muschamp, we are on the verge of armageddon..loosing ...
IF YOU'RE A GATOR FAN, YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ THIS. If Will Muschamp is fired, here's a short list of likely candidates to replace him: Dan Mullen- Current head coach at Mississippi State. Was offensive coordinator at Florida from 2005-2008. Recruited players like Tim Tebow, Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez (this was back before he killed a guy), and the Pouncey twins. Larry Fedora- Current head coach at North Carolina. Offensive coordinator at Florida from 2002-2004. Recruited several players for UF that would go on to be key members of Florida's 2006 National Championship team. Jedd Fisch- Current offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Graduated from UF and was a graduate assistant under Steve Spurrier. Has coached for 5 different NFL teams and from 2011-2012 was the offensive coordinator for the Miami Hurricanes. James Franklin- Current head coach at Vanderbilt. Only coach on this list with no previous ties to UF, but is considered one of the best young coaches in the country. Charlie Strong- ...
As we look ahead to the final season of the BCS in 2014 before we go to a four team playoff, the SEC is poised to push the streak to an unprecedented 8. Here are the teams that could compete. LSU- All their offensive pieces return and even though they lose a lot of defensive talent to the draft, Les Miles and John Chavis will be sure to have their defense playing at a top 5 level. The game of the year will be November 9th in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to see who can conquer the mighty SEC West. Alabama- AJ McCarron's senior year with TJ Yeldon as the running back and Amari Cooper catcching touchdowns is scary. Add in Kirby Smart's defense and we could be talking threepeat. The Tide travel to College Station, Texas in their first conference game which will set the scene for the National Championship picture, and even if they get past Johnny Football they still have the Tigers in early November. South Carolina- Imagine Steve Spurrier's offense with the best defensive player in the country. Jadeveon Clowney is . ...
Auburn University just fired their head coach Gene Chizik after four seasons. He went 8-5 with an Outback Bowl win, 14-0 with a National Championship, Heisman Trophy winner and number 1 and 2 NFL draft picks, then after losing 31 seniors to graduation he went 8-5 with a bowl win again, then loses his offensive and defensive stategists and only wins a couple of games this season and gets fired. Woody Hayes, Lou Holtz, Steve Spurrier, Joe Giaurdi, and Eddie Robinson ALL had bad stretches and were given time to correct it. Short-sided, greedy, and egotistical move by the Auburn administration. Another losing year is different but what those ignorant SEC people forget is this was Chiziks FIRST losing season at Auburn.
I guess it's time for Frank Beamer to move upstairs and for Va. Tech to hire a coach such as Urban Meyer, Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban or Chris Peterson of Boise State. Tech needs this kind of Coach to lead and "Recruit" the best players not only from this State but from across the Country in order to play for the National Championship. Coach Beamer has done an excellent job getting Tech to plateau that they are on, but has not been able to recruit the best players in the country that could push Tech to the Top level.
Steve Spurrier said recently that it is harder to win an SEC championship than a national one. "Ask Nick Saban" (apology to Rick Bragg)
"It's easier to win the National Championship than the SEC. Ask Nick Saban." -Steve Spurrier
"It is easier to win the National Championship than it is the SEC" - Steve Spurrier
Winning the SEC is harder then winning the National Championship! -Steve Spurrier-
Steve Spurrier: "It's easier to win the national championship than the SEC. Ask Nick Saban."
"Winning the SEC is harder than winning the National Championship" -Steve Spurrier
Steve Spurrier sent a shot a Nick Saban! " It's easier to win a National Championship than it is the ask Nick Saban"
Clemson fans are talking about how the Carolina baseball team and the Carolina fans are "racist" because of the comments made to Arizona's Asian player. First of all the stadium was full of fans other than just Carolina. Yeah the fans who did say things of that nature to him were wrong but for people to say that Carolina fans are racist and things of that nature is ridiculous. Sorry we went 2-3 in the National Championship in the last 3 years. I didn't see any Clemson fans say anything about when Dabo Sweeny made himself look dumb when he falsely accused Steve Spurrier of making comments about Clemson and not only embarrassed Clemson University but Clemson fans and the entire state of South Carolina. So when you Clemson fans become perfect then you can talk about what SOME Carolina fans say.
Amazing time at the Gamecocks fan fest, got to talk with and chat with Frank Martin. Autographs and pictures with Martin and Steve Spurrier, pictures with the National championship trophies, CapitalOne trophy, Harder Trophy, men's and women's soccer trophies.. pictures with Cocky, and Sir Big Spur, his owner and I chatted, and heard inspiring talks from Coach Martin and the Ole Ball Coach!!!

High school freshman Hayden Mankovitz comes home every day from his Plantation, Fla., school "bubbling over" to share what he's been learning about his family's cultural heritage, according to his mom, Maxine Mankovitz.
Hayden is taking part in an experiment launched this fall in Plantation, Fla. He goes to a public charter high school that teaches in Hebrew. The school also offers a "release-time" program in which he can leave the campus and get religious instruction with a rabbi during the school day.
Mankovitz is thrilled so far. She sees the program as filling a gap in their family's Jewish awareness. "We haven't had too much Hebrew or Jewish background in my home," she said.
"Our spirit was always there but we hadn't had much chance to get much education, and we hadn't belonged for many years to a synagogue," Mankovitz added. "It's just astonishing that is offered to him."
Based on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seminary programs — where high school students go off campus to a neighboring building for religious instruction during the school day — the Florida experiment aims to help Jewish students and families rediscover and transmit pieces of a fading cultural heritage.
It's a controversial vision, as some fear that public schools are being leveraged for religious ends, but its creators and defenders insist they stand on firm legal ground.
An urgent vision
Assimilation, intermarriage and loss of cultural identity are ever-present threats for 21st century Jews. It was in part to counter such risks that Jewish "day schools" developed, roughly equivalent to Catholic parochial schools. The model expanded rapidly during the last two decades of the 20th century.
"Jewish day school education K-12 is the single greatest predictor of Jewish affiliation as adults, and therefore Jewish continuity," said Rabbi Jay Lyons, who teaches Hayden's religion classes at Plantation's Jewish Community Center.
But very few non-Orthodox Jews attend day schools, for reasons ranging from high tuition to limited availability. In recent years, many Jewish day schools have struggled or shut down, and the continued limited reach has many concerned.
One solution is to piggyback religious programs onto the Hebrew language charter schools — with after-school programs for younger children and school-day class time for high school students.
Unlike private Hebrew day schools, these charter schools are tax-funded and thus within reach of middle-class Jewish families. But because they are public schools, and thus tax supported, some critics think their teaching of Hebrew language and culture represent a breach of the separation of church and state.
One such experiment is being pioneered at a Ben Gamla Hebrew-language charter school in Florida.
Peter Deutsch, a former Florida congressman, founded the Ben Gamla Charter School program after leaving Congress in 2004. Today, there are five Ben Gamla Charter Schools in Florida serving more than 1,800 students, including Hayden's Plantation High School.
No longer connected to Ben Gamla Charter School governance, Deutsch has turned his attention to how to more directly connect Jewish students to their heritage.
Deutsch helped develop a hybrid program that allows high school students to study secular subjects, including Hebrew, in the public charter school, and then take religion classes by crossing between the school campus and adjacent, privately funded facilities.
Deutsch and Rabbi Lyons believe the secular charter schools can be blended with off-campus religious education. They looked to the Mormon experience for guidance, consulted closely with LDS educators, and even traveled to Utah to see the model in practice.

Engaged Employees Need Engaged Managers
Regular readers of this column know that when it comes to unions, my mantra has been "management gets the union it deserves." If your healthcare organization has a union, or is in the midst of organizing activity, chances are that poor management or some sort of management-labor communications breakdown played a role. Ultimately the responsibility falls on management.
That came to mind when I read a recent item in the management-friendly HR Daily Advisor entitled: Warning Signs – Unions Organizing Behind Your Back.
The item was a synopsis of observations made by Mark Ricciardi, a Las Vegas attorney specializing in labor issues. While the observations were not specific to healthcare, Ricciardi's telltale signs included:
- Employees are unusually busy and excited
- Talking stops or groups break up when supervisor nears
- Employees request information about policies and benefits
- A new "spokesperson" emerges
- Employees who typically talk to supervisors no longer do so
- Employees no longer look you in the eye
- Employees question managerial authority
- New employee alliances form
- Changes in nature/frequency of employee complaints
- Increases in argumentative questions at meetings
- Increases in unauthorized "group" complaints
- Employees seem increasingly divided
- Poor performers show improvement
According to the Advisor, Ricciardi said HR should establish an "early warning system" that includes training managers to report all signs of labor activity, no matter how "trivial."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

So if the HR department won't help the situation and have gone other dirstions for help? Then what? Employee feels like they have NO support, no way to express themselves, almost feeling trapped. Where are they to go? If a union can fight for the employee, why not have a union available to do that? It is difficult enough to have managers or others hear your complaints, but not to anything to help you solve the problem, isn't fair to the employee.
Rhonda S. Bell, DBA (4/12/2011 at 9:23 AM)
Hi, John You alluded to the many things that employees bring to work. One thing that was left out is their spirit. However, if management has not been engaged the spirit of the employee may be broken or being asked to be checked at the door. We are made with a body, mind, and spirit and all need to be nurtured at work. But do managers know how to nurture the spirit at work? Betty has a great point that there are great clinicians that are placed in management positions with very little leadership training or knowledge. Perhaps the wise option is to provide emotional and spiritual intelligence training so management does know how to engage and be in touch with their employees. Thank you for bringing this topic to the discussion. Inspired and kind regards, Rhonda
Betty (4/11/2011 at 5:42 PM)
You are making a GREAT assumption that the managers have the basic skill set to deal with necessities such as: communication on a 360 level, strategies for team building, holding themselves and other accountable, resolving conflict before it escalates, knowing how to staff, plan, budget, etc Excellent clinicians are often promoted into Management by the stoke of the pen changing their title .. not by giving them the skill they need to survive in their roles of immense responsibility for patient safety, employee engagement and financial alignment. We defeat their success in the role by not properly preparing managers for their role

Ted's Dog Mange Cure (Most Popular)
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand writes, "The best cure for dog mange is to mix a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution with water and add borax. Dissolve thoroughly. Wash the dog with it once a week. Do NOT WASH THE solution left on the dog with ANY WATER. Do not wipe the dog dry. The solution will take effect on mange. The treatment period should not be longer than a month or two. The dog will probably not be resistant as the treatment is painless. This has worked well for me."
More Exact Measurements (excerpted from various emails on our Reader Question & Answer Section)
Ted replies, "A definitive recipe is add 1-2 tablespoon of borax per 500 cc of 1% hydrogen peroxide solution. To make a 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1%, roughly get one part of 3% H2O2 plus two parts of water. Then apply them on the dog. Wash with this solution daily, no rinsing. If it doesn't go away, I have found mites, or mange to have a large "beehive" hidden somewhere. In which case, quarantine the dog in a small area that is 100% sterile."
"Approximate measurements are 1 bottle of 500 of 3% H2O2, plus 1000 of the cc of water, plus heaping 3 tablespoons of borax. Stir until most of borax is dissolved. The borax is past the point of saturation here so you will see some borax around. Technically the concentration is around 1.5% H2O2, and this is a bit stronger because by the time we finish with it, the H2O2 gets reacted with other things, and by the time we used it is is usually ends up near a 1% solution anyway."
"You need to get put as much borax until it no longer dissolves in a pail of water and forms a precipitate. This is a saturated solution of borax. Add H2O2 to about 1% concentration to a pail of water. Soak the entire dog, several times. Keep the dog wet for some time. The borax will destroy the eggs from laying under the skin which causes the mange. Get some solution and spray or use this to wipe all floors so the dog will not get re infected. Repeat this every week when bathing. This is not a perfect cure, but it my dog now no longer have mange. My dog was completely cured. You can try other chemicals such as sodium perborate, which is more convenient since you don't need to add the hydrogen peroxide."
"The solution (borax or preferably sodium perborate) is to be applied AFTER the shampooing and rinsing. The sodium perborate should remain on the dog after the bath. You will not rinse this at all. It must remain on the dog throughout the day so that it will act continuously on the bugs."
"However, I do recommend a less toxic form of borax, which is sodium perborate if you can find one. The secret is that borax (plus hydrogen peroxide) will work better then most other remedies I have tried, this includes mineral oil, neem oil (no, neem oil does not kill the mange as effectively as sodium perborate) I have tried it. In my "mange colonies" and commercial brands to kill insects don't work. Hydrogen peroxide DOES NOT KILL mange, I USED IT SIMPLY USED IT AS A CATALYST for ordinary borax in case you cannot obtain sodium perborate. Mineral oils simply prevent oxygen from reaching mange, but that didn't stop it. I have tried naphta, bentonite clays, DMSO, potassium permanganate, light fluid, etc. They all worked temporarily, and it just came back. I must make a strong statement that the formula (borax+h2o2 or sodium perborate) works bests and it is broad spectrum. You can use it to control mange, mites, fleas, and lyme disease (initiated by those crawly insects). I have actually compared side to side with neem oil, mineral oil, apple cider vinegar and others here in Bangkok and this is the most wide spectrum cure I have found. Borax prevents denaturation of DNA/RNA in dogs and I currently use this as life extension for dogs. For example a ribose sugar, deoxyribose sugar, and various sugar that causes accelerated aging in dogs can be slowed down with supplementation of dogs indirectly when you do the borax wash. "
"Prepare peroxide 1% solution, add 2-3 tablespoon of borax to that cup. Stir and wait for a couple of minutes for the borax to dissolve. The formula doesn't require an exact science. The importance is to add enough borax until the solution is no longer soluble and well past saturation."
"...The reason why it is not working is YOU CANNOT RINSE THE DOG OF borax and peroxide solution with any shampoo or water. After bathing the dog, keep the dog that way, no drying no rinsing. This is why the dog has not improved. Also BORAX is added DIRECTLY to the 1% hydrogen peroxide solution and no water is added separately, otherwise the solution is too weak."
7/12/2006: "I have reviewed all the dog's mange treatments both by my own tests and by many contributors. It appears that many people have trouble obtaining materials, such as sodium perborate hydrate, so I revised the remedy to hydrogen peroxide plus borax solution applied only once or so every week. The solution of sodium perborate hydrate is very much similar when borax and hydrogen peroxide is added. Some have either substituted hydrogen peroxide with benzoyl peroxide.
The problem about benzoyl peroxide is the upper limit by which you can use it without effect the dog as it is somewhat more toxic if given beyond a 10% concentration. 5% is usually a safe concentration. Benzoyl peroxide because of its toxicity is somewhat of an insecticide, while hydrogen peroxide is not, what it is in the original formulation is that it is a penetrant allowing the borax to go through the skin. Now some did not like hydrogen peroxide due to its limited supplies, so they make use of apple cider vinegar. For me a regular vinegar will do. Both a vinegar and hydrogen peroxide has two similarities. It is both a penetrant and when added with a safe insecticidal material such as borax, which has an toxicity on LD 50 equivalent to that of salt, this is the preferred method. However, one should not use boric acid since there are reported deaths associated with boric acid but not borax.
Boric acid is not recommended for use as it is much more toxic than borax. Borax's toxicity is about 3000 mg/kg, which is the equivalent toxicity to about that of salt. (check wikipedia). The idea is to make a solution of borax so that the solution can cover the entire body and penetrate through the skin of the dog to kill the demodex mites, for example. To use a spot treatment by pure powder will take an infinitely long time as it does not get to it through the dog's skin.
In some cases, people have tried neem oil, mineral oil. Both of these have similar effectiveness, but in different ways. Neem oil prevents the Demodex fleas from laying eggs by modifying their hormones, while mineral oils are moderately toxic only to the demodex eggs, not necessarily killing them. However, both are very limited based on my tests in really killing the insect. You see borax will both kill the eggs, modifying the hormones and their eggs by drying them all at once. The weakness of borax is limited solubility and limited penetration of the skin which you need either vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide (toxic), MSM or DMSO solution. Ideally 10% DMSO should be preferred.
Pine Sol has limited insecticidal effectiveness, being a contact insecticidal, and does not provide lasting killing power once it has evaporated and does not kill living fleas, but it does kill their eggs somewhat. Only a fairly concentrated solution works and it does not prevent re-laying of stray eggs by the dog. In other words, the use of neem oil, mineral oil, benzoyl peroxide, and vaseline will not prevent the recurring of mange since eggs are not just on the dog, but can be anywhere in the house. Therefore re-infection is at issue. The one magic that borax has over its neighbors is that the borax powder that the dogs leaves in the house will kill the eggs even after the dogs no longer has mange and re-infection is therefore next to impossible. However, borax has limited effect on killing the larger mites and fleas, but not mange.
I found that adding 1/8 teaspoon per liter of water of borax added to the dog's water will cause the larger fleas to dry up and die at the same time. My dog for some reason likes to eat something like more than 1 gram of the sodium perborate crystals whenever he feels sick and the fleas just die off. The borax modifies the dog's blood and kills the mange inside out. This is why borax, i.e., sodium perborate, is required for mange, but not anything else due to preventive re-infection of the mange by the powder of the borax that destroys the eggs where the dog sleeps and where it walks around throughout the house.
VASELINE: The problem about using vaseline as an insecticide is that it has limited killing of eggs, but its weakness is that it is not a penetrant, and therefore the frequency of applications will take at least once every other day. Additionally, the hair of the dog will prevent proper application.
Some have went so far as to not use a solution of borax with hydrogen peroxide as a rinse then followed likely, perhaps a borax powder after bath. On the argument of being effective only as a spot treatment. Since dogs do not have sweat glands, not using a rinse will prevent the borax from absorbing into the skin to kill the mange under its skin. So this is not going to work. You need both borax as an insecticide, the water as the solution which to spread it to the skin surface, and a reliable penetrant to get it through the skin, such as vinegar, msm, DMSO, or even hydrogen peroxide. A benzoyl peroxide is both a penetrant and insecticide, but at higher concentration is somewhat toxic for dogs and as a result you are pretty much limited by the maximum concentration not to exceed beyond 5% being a preferred safety. I would prefer to limit myself at 3%.
I therefore suggest, not to get you lost in the woods, is that whatever formulation you use, always stick with borax and borax derivatives, such as sodium perborate monohydrate being the main insecticidal chemicals for the dog.
Pyrethrum is o.k. but in very low concentration of about 0.1% - 0.2% to prevent skin irritation for the dogs near the skin infection areas. The second mix you need is always the penetrant and the third formulation is appropriate dilutions in water. To provide lasting killing effect, non of these chemicals should generally be non-volatile insecticidal mixtures, which unfortunately most recommended are, with exception of perhaps borax and bentonite. Bentonite causes eggs to dry, so they can be used also, but they have no insecticidal mixture as borax and borax can performs both killing the insect, modifying the hormones to prevent egg laying, becomes a stomach poison for the insect, and at the same time causes their eggs to dry up.
I therefore will remain very flexible about what penetrants you use including hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide (limited concentration), and vinegar. It must be noted that when formulating any mange it must be noted that they must be non-volatile and the chemicals should cause microscopic residues around the house so that re infection of mange is prevented, including mites and fleas.
I think this wraps up the basic theory and application of mange treatment, and hopefully other people will make a more effective formulations in the future at least equal or better than the original formula I have proposed. Just want to tell you that there are many ways you can treat mange, but the issue is one of toxicity, re infection, toxic levels, which portion kills it and how, and which is the penetrant which is the key to it all. Penetrant is important, the chemical must reach the target demodex under the skin. Usually hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, DMSO, and MSM will do that. It must be reminded again that borax, to work most effectively, is to prepare a solution without washing it off, followed by a small amount of borax powder to be applied if you wish. Any other application other than this such as using as purely powder form is NOT going to work.
Approval Ratings
[YEA] We rescued a pit bull who was covered in mange. I took him to the vet for dips but they did not work so I tried Ted's Remedy. I mixed the solution as directed and applied weekly. What a difference! The mange is gone and he looks great! I highly recommend Ted's treatment over toxic vet remedy's, it works way better and costs a lot less. Thanks Ted and Earth Clinic!
[NAY] I am at my wits end I have been trying this cure of borax and peroxide for about two weeks. My dog does not seem to be getting better. She is still red and hairless on 2 spots on her back and around her neck. I spray her almost everyday and it just doesn't seem to be working. What should I see after 2 weeks? Should she still be red on these spots? Her skin is very dark looking.

02/03/2013Check your dog food for corn. Corn heats up their system and causes them to chew and itch. It is twice as bad in warmer climates. I feed a lamb and rice dog food with no corn and wheat. Nature's Recipe is one to try. Good luck!
P.S. you can also add a couple of squirts of Lynatone (vitamin e oil) to their food for much needed oil back in the skin and coat. You can buy at most pet stores and feed stores.Posted by Michelle
07/07/2013[NAY] "Yes, I was wondering about the message someone else left about treating their dog with the borax and after 2 weeks there was no improvement. I also have tried the peroxide and borax, with no improvement. So I got some ac vinegar, only seen improvement the day of use, but next again the bumps were back. My question I guess is how long before I see that its working? Also she (my dog) just finished her medicine of ivermec from the vet.

Hi Ted, Cherry, my 5year old labrador-daschund cross has been sufferring from itchiness, sores & vast hairloss ever since she was 1. Antibiotics, medicated washes gave only temporary relief. The worst part was that vets here could nt diagnose her problem! Can u believe that?! I was almost at my wits end. All traumatized 'cause I couldnt bear to see her suffer like this. It is not untill recently that I figured out through my own research that she was suffering from mange. I have finally begun with your treatment. I've done the first application. I plan to do it once a week. Just to not have her to undergo the torture of these chemicals everyday or do u suggest I do it everyday?? I'm applying a mixture of neem oil & vegetable oil on her skin at night time to moisturize her skin and facilitate hair growth. Let's see how this goes... I'm optimistic 'cause she seems to show improvement. She hasn't been scratching much.. Except for a few times. She's barking, comes out of her hide-out and waggs her tail occasionally. Thankyou Ted... You are a saviour. I have been yearing since years to see her get back to her normal self. I hope that happens soon.. With your treatment. Thankyou.. God Bless.

Hi, I found your website very imformative. I first want to thank you for maintaining the site and giving us all great advice and ability to forum.
I have a dog that is about a year old, large mixed breed, looks like a visla lab mix, reddish orange fur and very pink skin. He has mange all over his body from the feet to the belly and sides and legs and around the eyes and mouth. I am using Ted's Treatment Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide and water solution but am concerned with the mouth and the eye areas. My dog only has a couple very small areas where a scab or sore has developed, but the areas around the mouth and eyes seem more inflamed as well as around his genital area. Overall the dog just has hair density loss and some slightly proud red flesh around the genitals and the mouth and underarms. We have been doing the treatment for about 8-10 days. 2 on 1 off due to my work schedule away from home overnight. He seems to be itching less and responding well but we do not see major improvement as of yet.
My questions are is there an additional treatment I can do around the mouth, eyes and genitals where the flesh has less hair that might be more adhesive to the skin or do you think the borax mix will do the trick? Also I saw some posts on giving some borax in the water is this safe or possible as far as you know.
I appreciate any advice or direction you can give me. Mange is new to me and I know red dogs have a more sensitive skin and fur and the coat shows greater irritation. I just want to make sure I am on the right track as not to let it worsen.
Thank You, Richard

A little background info - My boxer bitch is a rescue dog who came with little info beyond that she had come from a very good but divorcing home and no health or special care info beyond "she has a bath every saturday night".
I thought this just meant she had been a pampered pooch but as I believe bathing so often would strip her natural oils we didn't keep this up. Within months she was scratching, wriggling on her back, rubbing up against us and the furniture and took the best relief rubbing along some crappy woodchip paper we have in the hall!
I took to brushing her regularly, spraying her with various soothing oils, trying different foods etc. All of which seemed to ease what we thought was just an ongoing sensitive skin issue.
We've had humid weather which encouraged a nasty flea explosion and with having another boxer male and two cats you can imagine the sheer amount of flea treatments we've been through. My boxer male also had ear mites which were treated and cleared up without appearing to spread to the other animals but last week the bitch went downhill dramatically with hair falling out, hot spots and incessant itching and flaking skin.
I hit the internet and found this site. From all the info here - and the fact that none of the other animals are experiencing her particular problems - I've deduced that she definitely has a mite infestion of some kind if not demodectic mange.
Slathering her in mayonnaise resulted in tell-tale bumps and so I decided to try this cure. I got 200ml 6% Hydrogen Peroxide from the local pharmacy (99p) which I've reduced to a 1% solution - as per the pharmacist's instructions - by mixing 1 part peroxide to 3 parts distilled water. The distilled water I obtained from my condenser dryer (of all places) and 200ml of this solution added to 2 tablespoons of Borax - obtained on Ebay. Co.Uk (2kg for around £9 inc. postage) - gives me the right mix.
Mixing up 1 litre of the solutions therefore costs around £1.10 and - applied with a spray bottle to drench and spot treat my medium sized boxer - I reckon there is enough in that for 3 treatments.
I completely soaked her in the solution yesterday, she calmed down immediately and slept most of the day. The relief from the itching must have heavenly.
I've drenched her again today and intend to do this every day for a week then bathe her with Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo and give a day off.
I've also taken photos to compare "before & after". As she's a brindle her coat makes getting a clear photo nigh on impossible but her belly - once covered with dark downy hair - is bald, sore, flaky and pink so will provide the best example.
I appreciate there are no guarantees but I'm encouraged by the testamonials here and curious to see how she goes. I will post back with an update next week.
Thank you to Ted for "The Cure" and to everyone who has posted with their personal experiences and examples of their own regimens. Your help in helping me to help my very much-loved dog is invaluable and very much appreciated.Posted by Tariq

The only h2o2 available comes in 120ml bottle 20 volume, please could some1 tell me what % this is and how to dilute to 1%. I am using 4 h2o2 bottles + 20 ml to make 500 ml of h2o2 and then adding 2.5 lt of warm water and 10 tablespoons of borax and resting this mix for ten minutes. I leave this on the dog to dry overnight. Please help what am I doing wrong. ThanxPosted by Gena

05/18/2013Hi, have you checked your pharmacy or grocery store for 3% peroxide in the wound section? All stores here in the USA carry 3% so I am surprised to hear that you can only find 20%. What do people in Pakistan sterilize their wounds with? Your measurements sound right to me. Sorry, I do not know why it isn't working. Maybe someone else who has treated mange will know.Posted by Leannienh
09/02/2013I'm not sure if you've resolved your issues but in reading this I' m afraid when you say 20 volume you may be confused and using peroxide meant for hair color developing and not hydrogen peroxide as the previous poster reminded you and is usually referred to in 20, 30, 40 volume. The hydrogen peroxide antiseptic is typically 3% stabilized solution in a purified water base and is used as a disinfectant. The hair developer is a bleaching agent when mixed with haircolor and isn't what you need.Posted by Daveyo (Nakhon Sawan, Thailand) on 08/29/2012
Greetings: (This message is URGENT) For Ted.
Ted, I have a serious crisis as I have 35 Doxie dogs over here. One of them has Scabies Mange (ultra critical) and some others also are beginning to experience the same sympthoms. I am an American, who is a retired viral researcher, worked with a Emeritus DVM in Salt Lake Utah, in 2007 and came up with a cure against Canine Distemper etc and so forth. The cure is official.
Anyway I got a problem and need to do dips on all these dogs. 1 cup of 1% of H2O and 2 cups of water, and 3 tablespoons of Borax is not going to do it. I need to submerge the most critical dog into a lot of this such as a tub with enough of your ingredients rising to at least the underbelly and to keep them there for minimum of 30 minutes and soaking this dog with the solution.
Also how long should this treatment persist. Days, weeks and how many times per week days etc.
I am not about to spend thousands of Baht for some VET as the majority of these VETS are clueless and brainless unless they are certified and bonifide Neurosurgeons. I have had the VET Boards tell me, and Dr. Sears that we are voodoo doctors yet they have seen with their own eyes the dogs are fully cured. Me and Dr. Sears and Dr. Mueller are the only people who have extensive experience against Distemper both body and CNS and at present time pushing to use this official cure regarding Multiple Sclerosis. Yes, same viral and vitro trademarks called Measles. Our cure wipes out this disease in 24 hours especially in the CNS and Brain with absolutely no side effects. We have a book out on this already.
I need your help badly on my current problem. Need your script to cure these dogs of the darn Mite problems. Meaning a tub script!! What name brand here in Thailand goes for Borax??? Where to find it, maybe at a pharmacy???
Dog sizes - about 25 inches long, and stand on average 8 inches.
Please write back to me at my e-mail address PurpleWitch2(at)msn.com.

[YEA] Ok MY DOGS CONDITION HAD ME STRESSED OUT!!!!! Itch, chew, itch, scabs TERRIBLE odor, AND DANG NEAR CHEWED OFF HIS FEET!! His knuckles and pad on one foot was so bad he wouldnt let it touch the ground. So at first I thought this was all due to fleas. So for a couple of weeks his condition did not improve. Then I researched the "TERRIBLE SMELL" and thought it was a shin yeast infection. Nope. Condition worsened!!! Took to the VET and they (A-holes) gave him a steriod which puts mange into OVERDRIVE or it did in our case anyway. So I WAS AT MY END!!
So I decided to use the Borax treatment. Well in two day he was running on all four paws barking and playing and he is almost completly recovered!!! I was doing the treatment EVERY OTHER DAY due to the fact that I could no longer watch him suffer and it paid off one thousand percent!!! I called a pet radio station and talked to "warren" a national pet show to ask about this treatment. He would not answer. Liability I guess, he kept saying go to the Vet go to the Vet go to the Vet. I told him I did and they made it WORSE!!! He never did give me any feedback so thats why I'm Typing my story for the next stressed out folks! THIS HAS BEEN THE REAL DEAL!!! DO NOT DELAY OR WORRY ABOUT THE PEROXIDE! Feel free to email me if your stressin like I was:sperlingjames(at)hotmail.comPosted by Marlene

01/10/2013Hi Ted. I have four dogs with the same problem and am at wits end. Vet is no help. please tell me what you did that works.

Ted, you are an angel for sharing this information with everyone. Your mange treatment cured my kitten's mange within a few days after I began treating her. Thank you so very much.Posted by Carolynn (Mi) on 08/01/2012
OMG... I have to tell you.. I used Ted's remedy for mange on my adult golden retriever and once... ONCE only.... And let it dry naturally and he was like a puppy again. It was an unbelievable change.. I thought he was just happy to be outside but he was jumping up and catching toys again and playing tug o war with me.. And HE HAD NOT SCRATCHED except once quickly maybe from being outside.. Now that he is in, NOT ONCE... He has had this skin condition for years and years... I have tried Frontline and shampoos for hot spots and I finally admitted to myself that although he doesn't scratch 24-7, just 20-7 that it was probably a mange of some sort.. And I went looking for a remedy... His ears had gotten 'smelly' and poor puppy, would scratch and sometimes till he was raw and then it would seem to subside... I switched diets, fed him yougurt and thought he might be allergic to my cat or a bug... A vet had treated his ears wiht something that cleared it up.. for a week or so and then I had to go right back and spend MORE money to refill the prescription that never lasted the length of time it was supposed to and then they wanted ot do another examination to get the prescription refilled again. Sigh... I was relieved to see that one of the symptoms of mange is an ear condition and I am hoping hoping hoping that this will clear up with his skin... Even as I write this, he is near my feet and resting, no scratching. I will let you know... I want his pretty yellow fur to grow back in and his bushy tail to come back... He is like Bush's Baked Beans dog, only blonde...Posted by Jade (Orlando, Florida) on 07/22/2012
Borax is in a big box in the laundry detergent isle at grocery stores. It is a white powder that was/is an old fashioned laundry detergent booster.Posted by Amber (Beckley, West ) on 06/27/2012
Since everyone seems to be soaking/spraying their dog different amounts how many times a week would actually work? Does it depend on how bad the mange is?Posted by Marcella

08/11/2012Unfortunately I have no other options, I have tried numerous dips and medication. I will be trying this remedy this week. I do have a question my dog is a Great Dane Shepard mix (3 years old he has had mange since he was a puppy from his mom) He sleeps on a couch are bed his bed and a futon it's not possible to wash all of these items ( he has non contagious red mange) is that absolutely nessesary in order to cure? Sounds alot like lice should it be treated as such? One more question the percent to amount ratio is slightly confusing can some one put the measurements in easy to read format like this much poroxide this much water and poor borax until its can no longer dissolve. Thank you for any help you provide. Hoping to cure my miserable friend!!!Posted by Uswiggies (Clermont, Florida) on 06/20/2012
[YEA] Ted's peroxide/borax treatment worked on our Shepard mix puppy! I used the mix the first day, used vegetable oil the next day (applied with cotton ball to extremely bare, blackish, sore spots, day three rest. I used Ted's recipe day four and the bare, blackish, sore spots are gone! I am shocked but oh so happy we didn't spend hundreds at the vet. I was very skeptical at first but I know it works! Thanks Ted and all who posted that convinced me to at least try.Posted by Sharon

38 Postsl have found two ways to treat your yard for mites, since treating the animals and surrounding areas is vital. One is to spread "tobacco dust" around the whole yard. It can be bought by the garbage bag for about $20. It took 2 bags to treat my 3/4 of an acre. This can only be purchased at select feed stores, you must call around.
The second way is to introduce a voracious mite-eating beneficial insect bought at organic pest control websites. It is called a green lacewing. It is suggested to buy the eggs, and also a food for them once they become adults to keep them in your yard. The eggs hatch into mite-eating larvae for 2-3 weeks before they mature. The adults eat honey, and nectar on flowers, so keeping food out for the adults keeps them reproducing in your yard. It's not very expensive to let nature do the hard work.Posted by Melissa (Cleveland, Texas, U.s.a) on 03/17/2012
Dear Ted, I have a litter of 5wk old shiht-zu and them and mom have been affected with mange. Can I use this borax treatment on them and mom which is still nursing them and with her nursing and the pups young age, is it safe to leave it on them??? Thank You, MelissaPosted by Bam Bam's Mom

03/21/2012I gave my 5 month old male chihuahua which only weighed 1lb this after frustrating visits with out vets and costing us lots of money. I have used this 2x in 2 weeks, . What a difference. I used veg oil for his skin because it gets real dry and it doesn't harm him. I also added an extra 1/2 cup of water to the mixture since he is so small. It does work great.

10/06/2013Hey everyone!!
I was just wondering what you do after the solution dries on the puppy/dog? Do you wash it off or wait until the next time he/she needs a bath. I'm in need of help and no website will answer my questions. Please and thank you! Have a good day.

You don't wash it off once it dries - you leave it on until the next bath.
I find that mine 'shed' some borax crystals for the first few hours out of crate once they have dried off, after that you don't know they have been dipped in anything.
If you have a problem with the dried borax crystals shedding about the house, you can simply brush your dog and the dried crystals will be brushed out in your grooming area and not be deposited all about the house.Posted by Hailey
I have a 4 month old teacup chihuahua and at first we just thought she had really dry skin until we noticed she started getting bald spots. We know it is mange and tried the hydrogen peroxide and borax and It is sitting in her right now. I read that they can drink borax too? I'm really scared to give it to her to drink because she is so little. What do you recommend?Posted by Theresa

531 PostsHey Hailey!
Taking borax internally is for internal parasites such as yeasts and fungi. I don't see a reason why you would need to treat your chi with borax internally for external mange mites.
That said, if you wished to dose your chi with borax orally, you would start with 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon into 1 liter of pure water and allow her to drink throughout the day.Posted by Jan (Austin, Tx) on 03/11/2012
This recipe of mixing the borax saturated water with peroxide worked great on my English bulldog, Dooley. I have three bulldogs and unfortunately am familiar with most canine problems. Decided to try this formula on Dooley before going to the vet. It worked great! I could see results after one application. I bathed Dooley making sure to take the flattened somewhat moist scabs off his back. I have a feeling that Dooley's mange was staph related, from my past experiences... But, regardless of what it was... It is gone now. I have completed three applications now... After the first application, the scabs never came back, and the hair began to grow back. Thanks for the great tip! Hope others also try this and have the success that Dooley had!Posted by Kimigirl (Makati City, Philippines) on 01/06/2012
Hi Ted! I've done your mange cure on my 1 yr old Chow Chow since nothing worked regarding vet treatments. I mentioned your cure to the vet and said since we've tried everything else, it wouldn't hurt. I followed your instructions to the letter. He didn't mind the dip at all and I think he rather enjoyed it.
What I noticed though was that after he dries, the red bumps seem to get aggravated. They're redder than normal and he's scratching. Although the next day, the red bumps dry up and flake off but he's still scratching. We're on the 4th day of treatment and was wondering if this is a normal reaction and would go away as the mites go? Or should I be adding something else to make the solution more potent to the mites? Do I just continue with the treatment? It looks like the mites try to fight back. Will Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil help his itching?
Thank you in advance.

3 PostsI've been doing Ted's treatment on Roscoe everyday for a week now (Ted mentioned that it should be done daily). The redness has gone but he scratches like there's no tomorrow! He wears his e-collar 24/7 since I took it off for 10 minutes to clean and when I was putting it back on him I saw that he was licking his hind legs and has made 3 hot spots. His skin became really dry and I decided to soak him in Virgin Coconut Oil which helped with the itching BUT the red spots came back!!!
Please, can someone help me? He's suffering so much. Do I continue?Posted by Jaki

01/21/2012Ted's remedy is to be done weekly, NOT daily. You are overdoing it!Posted by Kimigirl

3 PostsI am following Teds instructions. It actually worked better everyday, as stated below. I give Roscoe the HP Borax dip 2 days then VCO the next day for 3 weeks. No more black skin, bald spots and red bumps. For the "nest sites" I just spray the HP Borax on the area and it's drying up well and VCO to get rid of the skin flakes. Also the raw diet for his dinner really made a big difference.
[YEA] 02/17/2009: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "It's not working because the remedy I now required is applied everyday, plus no rinsing as the key. A rinsing would have washed off the borax. A solution should be long enough to take effect. Perhaps putting them in bathtub and reapply during bath for about 15 minutes will be more effective, before leaving the dog without rinsing. Because a saturated borax is used, it is likely very little of borax remains on the dog. So should the dog licks, it should not have induce the vomiting. The amount of both the hydrogen peroxide and borax dose is too low to have any effect. Therefore, either borax flakes too large or hydrogen peroxide in large amount was somewhow ingested during the bathing. Henceforth an easy way to get around this problem is to put muzzle on the dog DURING and AFTER bathing for a couple of hours (say 4-5 hours) before rinsing them a way, thus leaving no trace of anything to cause vomiting for the dog.Posted by Carolynn

09/24/2012[YEA] "I have got to tell you.. My pup had a type of mange or redness for years and I tried a lot of things to cure it, plus his ears started leaking and smelling. I can't even tell you disturbed I was to go to the vet and have it not cured and be forced to go back ad pay again and it would not be cured. I used frontline, flea shampoo and on and still his coat and skin were scabbing and itchy. He is a golden retriever mx, like Duke on the baked beans ad only blonde.
I tried Ted's Remedy and I have to tell you.. The relief for my pup was immediate.. IMMEDIATE. He began playing again and looked at me like he was sooo grateful to not itch. I use it qute often now and it kills fleas as well and HIS FUR HAS GROWN BACK AND HIS PRETTY TAIL IS ALMOST FULL AGAIN... One month and a little more. I am very grateful. His ears are cleaning up too so the 'bug' or whatever it was must have been the problem there. He is like a puppy again and wants to play. Thank you... Thank you... from me and Duke....

Apperance: A hazy golden/vanilla yellow. The head retention and lacing are minimal, but the shape and texture of the head is textbook!
Nose: Fresh baked crackers, wheat, dough, "heavy water"
Taste: A pleasant bitterness which is nit hoppy, but citrusy. A little syrupy towards the end. Nice and crisp as you would expect from a weiss. Hay, or another golden grass at the end.
Notes: The perfect summer brew. It has a little bit of a wierd aftertaste. Bitter. I love it when beer does not come with a bottle cap.

An odd beer. The color is an attractive golden yellow, almost an apricot look, with slight cloudiness. The pour forces up a huge head of white billowing foam that is short lived. There is no lace effect. The nose is very pungent and oddly sour sensed. The taste is also very pungent, lightly cloved with a very long, unpleasant aftertaste that I did not like. The feel is of slight carbonation with underpinnings of smooth creaminess. Constant flow of bubbles from the bottom. The packaging is good with a stoppered bottle showing off a great label. I would not order more of this beer for its flavor is unsettling to me.

Pours a hazed straw with no head. Nose is like glue. Yes, glue. Slight citrus edge. Flavor is like fruit that is far from being ripe. (that is not good) Heavily tart at first and it calms down as you sip on. Feel is pretty good. Nice level of carbonation. Thin on the mouth though. It is drinkable sure, but not very exciting. I bought this one because it was the last one on the shelves. I tried it, and now I will move on to the next brew in my fridge.

This beer really fills out the definition of wheat beer. It has wheat color, smell and taste. It does have a good mouth feel and a pleasing after taste. Surely has the bubble gum aftertaste. To me, it simply it is not complex or very interesting.
It is a beer that is correct for what it is. I don't believe it will be too popular with American drinkers.
However, the nice thing about this beer, is on a hot day, you can drink more then one.
If you run accross this one, give it a try.

This beer poured a bright clear yellow with a fairly good head but the head was not long lasting. There was no yeast in the liquid which made for a clear beer. The aroma of the grain was nearly as strong as the cloves. The beer tasted more clean that other weissbeirs and the cloves were very subtle. I could not taste any banana. There was a bit of carbonation on the tongue which tingled when held in the mouth. It was also mildly creamy. This would be a very good beer to introduce someone to wheat beer. It has some of the characteristics of a wheat but does not beat you up with its uniqueness.

Fugitive Investigators Arrest Three Persons Who Were Wanted in Robbery
Brian Robinson
Christopher Eadon
Pamela Norris
Fugitive investigators with the Lexington County Sheriff's Department and a regional U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force on Tuesday, January 31 arrested a 32-year-old Lexington man, 29-year-old Lexington woman and 21-year-old Lexington man who each were wanted by the Sheriff's Department on arrest warrants in connection with a robbery that occurred on January 27 at a room at a motel on Harbor Drive near West Columbia.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said fugitive investigators arrested Christopher Joseph Eadon, 32, of 141 Wessel Drive, Lexington, and Brian Austin "Bam" Robinson, 21, of 141 Wessel Drive, Lexington, at about 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday in Sumter. Eadon and Robinson each were being held on Wednesday, February 1 at the Lexington County Detention Center on bail totaling $40,000 on charges of robbery and first-degree assault and battery.
Fugitive investigators arrested Pamela Shae Norris, 29, of 141 Wessel Drive, Lexington, at about 6 p.m. on Tuesday near a motel on Airport Boulevard near Cayce, Metts said. Norris was being held on Wednesday at the county Detention Center on bail totaling $20,000 on charges of robbery and first-degree burglary. Norris is Eadon's girlfriend. Robinson is Eadon's nephew.
Arrest warrants allege that at about 12:30 a.m. on January 27 Eadon, Norris and Robinson assaulted and then robbed a 20-year-old man in the man's room at the Executive Inn, 1107 Harbor Drive, West Columbia, Metts said. The 20-year-old man was acquainted with Eadon, Norris and Robinson and invited the trio to his room at the motel.
Eadon, Norris and Robinson hit the 20-year-old man with their fists and a belt and placed their hands around his neck, causing the man to lose consciousness while he was being choked, Metts said. After they assaulted the 20-year-old man, Eadon, Norris and Robinson stole $669 in cash, one LG cellular telephone and one Dell M5030 laptop computer from the motel room.

Tribune-Herald staff writers
Sunday January 8, 2012
Our top honorees are Waco High RB Darrell Harris (left) and Lorena LB Jakob Coker, the offensive and defensive players of the year.
It always seemed like Darrell Harris just knew.
In the offseason, gauging the impact he'd have on the Waco High offense as a senior, he worked for months with a 20-pound weight jacket to juice up his speed and strength.
During games, he had an innate ability to emulate a Venus flytrap by slyly burying his eyes into the sideline to invite in defenders before flicking his eyes upfield and darting into open space for big gainers.
No running back in Central Texas did it better or more often than Harris in 2011, allowing the senior to run away, both literally and figuratively, with the Super Centex Offensive Player of the Year award after a record-setting season.
Waco High workhorse running back Darrell Harris is our Super Centex Offensive Player of the Year.
Duane A. Laverty / Waco Tribune-Herald
"He was good with taking it on his shoulders," Waco High coach Danny Ramsey said. "You just see his big smile when he's being asked questions about football or his teammates. His work ethic is great. You almost never have to get on him about running hard. That's never the case."
After Harris' astonishing year, no running back in the history of Waco High can match his numbers. In 11 games, Harris rushed for 2,567 yards to clear Louis Fite's 21-year-old single-season school record by 35 yards. He had four games of more than 300 yards rushing, and his average of 8.2 yards per carry was a boon for a Waco High offense that averaged 35 points per game.
And yet the numbers barely register in his own mind. All that floods back is Waco High's early playoff exit. The Lions lost to Mansfield Summit, 46-31, in the bi-district round of the playoffs. After sharing the District 8-4A title with Stephenville and Midway, failing to win a playoff game was a bitter pill to swallow.
"I felt like we had the team to go to state," Harris said. "We didn't make it, but if we could go back we would definitely make it, no doubt. We should have beaten Mansfield."
In the fourth game of Harris' junior season against Abilene Wylie, he unknowingly tore the meniscus in his knee. He played through it the next three games, all of them losses, before taking a knock low against San Angelo Lake View that forced him to the sidelines.
He gritted through the pain in a gutsy win over University the next week, but the injury eventually forced him to have surgery in the offseason. After two months of rehab, Harris came out the other end bigger, stronger and faster.
"I wanted to get better so I just looked at it like a job, something I had to do," Harris said.
In football terms, perhaps the only thing Harris has wavered on is his choice of schools at the next level. Harris hasn't received much interest from major Division I schools, and he's mulling offers from UT-San Antonio and Sam Houston State. For a player who shared Associated Press first-team all-state honors with the likes of Johnathan Gray, it's a puzzling situation.
"I'm kind of baffled," Ramsey said. "Looking at his numbers, and just if you looked at numbers knowing the league we play in, this kid is legitimate. All the folks we played against would tell you that he is, so I don't know where the drop-off is."
Without a doubt, the highlight of Harris' year was notching a victory over city rival Midway on the opening week of district. The night before the game, Harris and a group of Waco High players watched the Waco High-Midway freshman game at Midway. They took some verbal jabs that night and repaid the favor on the field the next day.
"I still go back and watch that game now," Harris said. "I get chills."

*It is not uncommon for a league to not refund registration fees due to having to turn away prospective participants thay may have applied for a roster spot on a roster that was already full.
Who Can Participate?Posted July 17, 2014
Heart O' Texas Youth Football, Inc. is open to all youth ages 5-12. There are no school district or town boundaries. Although it is beneficial to group youth by school districts, we will make every effort to place your chid on a team that is most beneficial to your child. Just talk to one of us at registration with special requests and, roster size limitations permitting, your request should be honored. If your 7th grader participated on a school team, we strongly encourage that they do not participate in our league, but we also understand that due to huge rosters in middle school programs, not everyone gets optimal playing time. If this applies to your child, come talk to us about how your child could be served by participating in our league and still maintaining their spot on the school team.
