Bonita Beach Dog Park Overview
Hours: Sunrise to sunsetDog Beach is a strip of beach land on the outside edge of Lover's Key State Park along the Fort Myers/Bonita Springs line. It's an off leash beach to let your dog run free and frolic in the shallow, calm water of the Gulf of Mexico. There are no fences, leashes or worries. Just plenty of dogs of all sizes to play with. Many visit that don't even have dogs, but enjoy watching them run and play with their furry friends on land and water. You can't see if from the main road, but follow the signs around the trees and a clearing will open up to Dog Beach. During high tide you may have to wade through some water to get to it so be prepared. There is a portable toilet, and no running water so remember to bring some for your pet. Please follow the rules to make it a safe, clean enjoyable place for all. For more information visit www.leeparks.org or call 239-533-7275.

It's a dog beach so don't expect too much! My dog LOVED it and played with every dog there!!! She's a medium size dog (50lbs). She played with both big and small. Of course smaller dog owners were concerned but their dogs were having a blast! As previous reviews have stated some owners are rude. There was one that was telling everyone they needed to put a leash on their dogs. I informed him that this is an "off leash beach" he mumbled under his breath and then left. All in all it's a great dog beach! I will be returning with my pup!

This was by far the #1 park I've ever seen! This year I've been travelling with my dog from the east coast of Canada to Key west and back to Buffalo. We have visited lots of parks but this is tops! The problem is never the dogs, but the owners. So if you're bringing your small dog, there's going to be big dogs. Only you can make that decision! Thanks SO much for staying dog-friendly!
Great off leash beach!
Angie in Westminster, MD
We were traveling around FL in our RV with our dog of course and wanted to find a beach for our dog to play off leash. There arn't many and we found this one. Went on a Friday and it wasn't too busy and our English Bulldog had a great time so we decided to go back the next day, which was a Saturday. It was much busier but it was so nice to see all the dogs playing together and having a great time!! It's not a big beach by any means. I highly recommend planning your visit to the beach during low tide for maximum beach space. Once the high tide comes in be prepared to walk back the path to the parking lot in water. I wouldn't take anything to the beach that you can't carry out! Overall it was a great beach to take our dog. It was clean and people do a pretty good job of cleaning up after their pet. Also, be prepared that some dogs might 'mark' your belongings. If you don't want that to happen either don't bring anything with you or don't come at all. Me...I could care less, what I took was all cleanable! The beach also has plenty of parking (we were able to park our RV with no problems), dog poop bags are available and there is a wash off shower too! Thank you Lee County for providing a place for our little guy to enjoy the Florida Beaches too!! He loved it!!!
Great beach, great people
Brittany in Sarasota, FL
I discovered this dog beach a few years back but now that I have a new Lab puppy I have been frequenting this beach more often. After wading through a little water (a LOT during high tide) you will find yourself on a beach that I would consider more of a sandbar. This allows dogs that aren't swimmers to have a chance to play in the shallow water without there being waves to scare them. I would recommend bringing chairs rather than towels as hightide leaves the majority of the beach moist. The people in
Great getaway
Alyse in Coconut creek fl
We brought our year and a half old sea Inu to the beach. I was concerned about letting her off leash at first, but the "beach" is surrounded by water so it creates a little island that kept our dog from wandering off, especially during high tide. The beach does get very small when the tide comes up and there were a lot of dogs. But our dog had a great time running and playing in the water. It was shallow enough that she could run pretty far out without worries. There was a lot of boat traffic when we went so you should really keep and eye on your dog.
Small Slice of Paradise....
Cayte Turley in Bonita Beach, Florida
I LOVE THIS BEACH and so does my Dog. Thank you Lee County. There are not enough in the State. I have not had any Problems at all. The People are all nice and friendly and understand that Dogs will be Dogs...those of you who rated the Beach low are blaming that on Stupid Humans who don't know about Doggie Manners.. I have not run into one but I will gladly give Dog Training Tips. I Thank God for such a Beautiful Place where my dog can play, socialize and get exercise that she cannot in a small Condo. It has made her a Healthy Happy Well Adjusted Dog and I cannot praise Lee County enough. There is Wash Station/Water Norh of the Entrance and Poopie Pick Up Bags .. Grab it on your way in. Bring a Plastic Bowl and a Jug. Low Tide has more Room. My only Complaint is I wish the Park was Bigger. It is a ...."Small Slice of Paradise!!
SO GLAD our owners took us!!!
Jackie and Remy in North Augusta, SC
We are small dogs and luckily our owners have trained us to be with other dogs. (Remy - "I'm a little afraid of the big dogs, but I just run in the other direction") It was such a fun time. Running around with all the other dogs and meeting new humans. We want to go back again soon!!! **Note from humans: it was our first experience here and it seemed like everyone was friendly and happy. We did not have any problems with other dogs. Maybe it depends on who is there and when you go but we would definitely recommend it and can't wait to go back!!!
Small Menaces-Great Beach
Paige Cane in Charleston SC
No bad dogs just bad, impolite owners. This dog beach is one of the best in the US but the small dogs are an issue my Staffordshire Terrier /Boxer gets attached and often bitten by a little dog almost every time we go here because the owners don't take the time to train the poor dog because the dog is small enough to pick up! My dog is a sweet dog and puts her head down and never reacts however, if she did defend herself guess who would get all of the blame...not the small dog. Do your dogs a favor and teach them more than just where the dog-food bowl is.
One of the reasons we moved BACK!
VC in Cape
Great Dog Beach! No fences, No Leashes Fantastic place for dogs and great place for people . I think I is nicer than the "human" beaches! There would be no problem if everyone watched their own pets. Just like kids- you have to keep an eye on your small dog if there are bigger ones around!
Marianna in Naples
As you walk into the park...it reminds people... if you are not comfortable with your dog being off leash or with other off leash dogs...then this park is not for you. This is an off leash dog park...as stated as you walk into the park. It's rare to find a place like this...and so great to let dogs be dogs. :)
A Tired Dog is a Happy Dog!
Marianna in Naples
I just recently moved from New England to Naples...we've always lived along the beach and it was so great to go to the beach again with my Weimaraners...they had a blast... there were other dogs there that loved to play...they romped in the water and loved it... what a great time...and they are soooo tired now... perfection!

nathan in naples
If you go here you will be pleasantly surprised ir is a ton of fun for you and your dog. Dont pay attention to retards about there small dogs, if you choose to own a smaller breed you must watch them closer than large breeds. All dogs are good the owners are the problem not the dog.
MONSTER DOG in Estero
You should not blame other dogs for the actions of your own. Chances are your dog has not been socialized with others and this can be dangerous. I have been to this dog park and it is marvelously brilliant.
Nice white sand beach/google map not accurate
Heather in Lafayette Indiana
Found this dog beach via bring fido. My big 70 pound pitty mix which is a big baby has never been to the ocean. Need less to say he is a land lover, while it is truly a off the leash park/beach we had to keep him on a leash due to the fact that he want to go check out all the natural plant/tree foliage that surrounds the entire area. It is so thick that we almost lost him in there and there is really no way a human can get in it with out getting stuck much less finding your pet in there. Don't get me wrong, this is probably one of the nicest places to take your dog to run and play in the water. If you have a hunter/land lover like mine keep them leashed! We went at high tide ( of coarse) and it was full of water with not much beach exposed but still not to deep to where you can get to different spots. If you are a dog lover you will enjoy this beach. Now being from out of town we followed the google map to try to find it. It is actually in Lover's key park area stay on main road and past the park entrance and it is right before the big bridge on the right coming from Ft Myers beach.
Matthew in Chicago
While on vacation, we decided to check out the doggie beach and was very pleasantly surprised! It was a lot larger than we had anticipated, but it was also shallow enough for the dogs to run around and play with each other! It was even better knowing there was a doggie shower to rinse off in afterwards! My biggest suggestions would be to check the tides to go before/during the low, bring water for hydration so that your pup can last in the heat, and don't forget doggie bags in case they take care of business. We'll definitely continue going back!
Bonita Beach Dog Park
Heidi in Port Charlotte, FL
Loved it went there for the first time Sunday. Everyone was very friendly and the owners were great too. The only thing was the walk to the beach on high tide you have to walk through a lot of still water. Can't wait to go again.
Great but watch out for
Hapa in Cape in Cape Coral
the woman fishing off the beach. With the current, our dog almost got caught in her line. She had an attitude as if we were bothering her. This is a dog beach! I wanted to go off on her but was unsure of the rules. I looked it up after coming home and found that fishing is not allowed in the doggie play areas. So in other words- go to one of the other hundreds of fishing beaches. Other than this, it is a great beach. Our dog had a great time tromping through the water and swimming until he was very ready to go home and sleepy bye. 90% of the people I met were super nice - as were their pets. I did see and notice a few who seemed to regard it as their beach. However, I would definitely go back.
Dog Fights?
Jim in St. Louis
I'm curious to know more about the dog fights, bites, "regulars" incidents? I hate hearing this, bec I'm always worried for my little french bulldog. And if people are starting fights and being threatining this needs to be addressed and as a retired police officer I have no problem flashing the badge and getting dirty. Maybe being a larger male most people don't "threaten me", but it needs to be a "Public Park" and people need to be allowed free access. I'm not sure if alcohol is allowed but that's never a good idea at a dog park. I myself am not a regular, but if my wife were to come back from the park with a story similar to the ones I've read, it won't go over well for the "regulars". Please email me, email@example.com Thank you, and I am sorry to hear of the terrible instances.
Good Park, Keep an eye out
Jim in St. Louis
This park is a nice concept. Couple issues: 1) I was barefoot, cut my foot on something in the sand/mud and got a nasty infection. Not sure what it's from, but it took a few weeks to heal. 2) Like others have said, IMO you always need to have an eye out on your dogs, because not everyone cares about their dogs as much as those who review dog parks. I have a pitbull who can take care of her self, but my French Bulldog costs more then a mortgage, and can easily be bullied. 3) The tide schedule hampers how much time you can spend at this park, and then everyone goes at low tide and it can get crowded very quickly. 4) From where you park, to where the beach is, is a good hike, and you'll need to bring: shade umbrella, water, cooler, and everything else you would bring to the beach. On top of that manage your dogs on a leash. Because it's next to a fast moving road. All in all my dogs love the beach, if only they would understand that drinking salt water made them sick we'd go more. It's just a long haul with all the gear I need for my dogs. BRING PLEANTY OF WATER, it's hot. Oh yea, once again there are some GREAT people here. 1st time I went to this park I just stopped by, no water or gear, and a few people offered my dogs water and ice cubes. So in the midst of bad reviews, this park does have it's great points.
A Pleasant Surprise
Jackie and John and Brittany in Arcadia, Fl
We are constantly looking for places that are dog friendly. It is so hard to find a beach that is. We stumbled upon this beach, and were very impressed. Brittany (Boo) enjoyed it, although a little timid on her first trip, but we for sure will come back. Nice job LEE COUNTY....
Ana in Manchester NH
I gave this 4 bones for 2 reasons. first it is a WONDERFUL PARK!!! great dogs and great people. my dogs had a fantastic time! one reason I gave it only 4 stars is that there is no fresh water... not an issue for me since i always carry gallons with me for the dogs but given that the water is salt fresh water would be a nice ammenity. the other reason was that there were some careless owners but that's not the park's fault. that's the people's fault. UNFORTUNATELY I wasn't aware of the effects of even a TINY amount of salt water on my dog's GI system as they had never been to a beach during hte summer only winter months up north in NH so they hadn't ever gone IN the water. I did not let my dogs drink the salt water and did bring plenty of fresh water but just the salt on the sand in the beach area and the small amounts of water they ingested when fetching a ball that HAPPENED to land near the water or in the water caused severe diarrhea and vomiting in both of my dogs. was almost ready to visit a vet when it finally stopped. I did go to a local vet and was horrified that they offered me NO advice. I explained that I wasn't from around there and they said they gave no free advice... that I would need to book the dogs an appointment if I wanted to talk to any of them. needless to say... I went online and got all the info I needed. GREAT Park but if you aren't aware of how your dogs do with the salty water... be extra careful!!
Great Park - Great People
Tracy in Parkland
This was our first experience and our two labs had a great time - there were a lot of dogs, most were very well behaved and the owners were quick to control dogs. The people were very kind and allowed our dogs to share water as we did not bring enough. The drawbacks are: as high tide comes in, the sand bar loses a lot of space so it gets a little crowded and you have to basically wade in at high tide so bring you water shoes. We will defintely come back but with more water and some beach chairs so we can stay longer!
Great park, irresponsible owners
Jeanne in Fort Myers
I love the idea of this park. Most of the time, I have a great time. I have a Great Pyrenees (now ( months old). Pyrs notoriously like to roam so I always keep him on lead. Yes, I get a work out, but he usually has fun. The last few times, owners have allowed dogs to go the bathroom and not pick up there waste. My personal stuff has been peed on 4 different times. I dont blame anyone except irresonsible owners for this. However, today when I entered the park my big 9 month old was attacked by 4 bull dog type dogs. The owner was several yards away, smoking and drinking, my big baby was terrified. She came up yelling at me for having my dog on a leash (go figure). The thing is I went to a desserted part of the beach away from her and she and her sister, brought there dog right over to my area. People like this ruin it, I have met faulous people from all over the country at this park and some terrific four leggged friends too. Maybe the rules need to be enforced just a little bit more. If my Pyr was older and not a gentle giant it would have been a sad aending for little aggessive dogs.
First Time Trip
Ashley in Lake Placid, Florida
This was my first time ever taking my dog to a dog beach. It is a beautiful place and nicely secluded. However, I did not like how small the beach was. It seemed very cramed even though there where only maybe 10 owners with their dogs and family members. The sand was really mushy feeling while in the water and there was a stingray in the inlet. It will not be my first choice in the future.
use common sense
melissa in miami
both the both the good and bad reviews have some truth to them. i took my two dogs over memorial day weekend and it was crowded. it was a ton of fun however you have to use caution because there are huge dogs with inattentive owners. i had an issue with a dog going after my little shitzu twice. i made sure to stay clear of that dog and keep my little guy close to me at all times. this is not a bad place to take your pet but it can be dangerous as a lot of big dog fights break out, so use common sense and stay away from the trouble makers. i will take my dogs there again hopefully on a less packed weekend. One bone off for safety issues (mixes big and small dog breeds) and another bone off for no rinse station for the big sandy mess your dog will become. other then that 3 bones for fun, sun, and sand!
Ok, not the best.
Angie & Ruby (Doodle) in Naples
I have taken my dog to many dog beaches in Florida and while I am appreciative of a place to take my dog, it is not the best dog beach. The beach is basically a sandbar island and it depends on the tide on how big the actual space is. It can get very crowded, which is not something I really enjoy, personally. Also, there is no fresh water to give your dog to drink or a bathing station to rinse you or your dog. That is why I only gave it three bones. So far, I love the beaches over on east coast and down in the keys the best. I think I will venture a little father north next time and check those out.
CUPKATE in CAPE CORAL
an almost great park
Marie in Cape Coral, FL
I've taken my dog to the park several times and each time had to leave because of the larger dogs that kept charging mine. Also, I noticed that the smell of urine and stool was quite bad. This is a beautiful place for one to be able to take their doges but the rules are just not being followed by some which is not fair to others. I totally agree with some of the other comments about indifferent owners. Some just come to lay out on the beach and don't pay any attention to their dog. I've watched dogs poop on the beach and no owner attempted to clean up the mess. Also, I absolutely do not see this being a park for any pit bulls and each time I've been there, this is the breed that has charged my dog. I don't know why there can't be separate days set aside for big dogs and small ones. Also, I've never seen any park personnel monitoring or checking to be sure rules are being followed. I'd actually be willing to pay a small fee to make this a better dog park.
Different Experience
Jim in New Hope
Our Boston Terrier planted her feet in the sand when she took one look at the all of the big dogs running without leashes on the beach and in the water. We were just as aprehensive. It is a shame there is not a separate section for small dogs as they do in other dog parks. There were big dogs gallore, Dobermans, Shepherds, Labs, Collies, etc. Smaller dogs will be intimidated and ours wouldn't step foot and we ended up leaving and going to the regular beach up the road in Ft. Myers, just as nice but more relaxing, she doesn't mind her leash and she can sleep under the umbrella. If you have a big dog that is socialized, they should be fine here, but small dogs may be intimidated.
"Dog Friendly" does NoT mean "Friendly Dogs" SMALL DOG OWNER BEWARE
Will in Naples
Our dog, a very young, 26 pound rescue, LOVES to play in the surf. We'd been to Apalachicola where he played safely and had fun. Because of that experience we thought we could drive the few miles to this "Dog Friendly Beach." Getting to this beach can be a mess but beyond that, many of the dog owners there ignore the posted rules. Many do not pickup after their dogs but of more concern, many bring unneutered, aggressive, even dangerous dogs. During our first (and only) visit, we'd been there only a few minutes and our little dog was having fun running through the surf. Suddenly a HUGE German Shepherd type dog attacked him. The shepherd's owner stood there, actually smiling while his dog mauled my pup. I jumped on the attacking dog pounding him with my shoe until finally he turned loose of my dog. I guess I should be grateful he didn't attack me too. Anyhow, that behavior must be common there because no one seemed upset about it but me. Basically I was told if I couldn't stand the heat I should get out of the fire so I did. I took my now bleeding dog away from the idiots with their uncontrolled, often un-neutered, dogs. About two weeks later I read where another small dog had been attacked and was disemboweled by a bigger dog there. Guess we were luckier than I'd thought. For its THOUSANDS of acres of parks, Lee County has only three (3) Park Rangers (currently only 2 rangers according to Lee County's website). None of the public, dog parks I have visited in SW Florida are supervised… NONE. You take your dog at your own risk and nothing will be done if it is injured or killed. It can be a very dangerous place, we choose to stay safe and stay away.
dog attack
LIsa DeVries in Naples
We have been to this dog park several times in the past and had a great time. Today was a different story - we have a Pomeranian who is very well socialized and has 2 big dogs at home in Maryland. Ted was busy playing fetch in the surf with his ball today, when a big dog ran over and bit down on him, pinning him under the surf. My husband had to punch the dog in the head several times in order to get him to release. The owner ran over and apologized, saying his dog wanted to ball. I can say with absolute certainty his dog wasn't trying to get the ball - he looked at Ted as if he was prey just before he went after him. This attack was not caused by our dog - he was totally oblivious to anything other than his own ball. Tonight he's at the ER animal hospital on oxygen, pain meds and monitoring due to bite wounds and crushing. Hopefully he will recover, but all dog owners should beware!
James in Indianapolis
After reading the reviews, I won't take my dog to this beach. I appreciate the efforts of everyone who took the time to send in a review. Dog fights are not a good thing. Maybe I need to take a stun gun in case. I guess it depends of what other dogs are there when your dog is there. An owner should be held accountable if their dog hurts another or a human.
Beware of the regulars
D in St. Louis
This is a nice little dog park. The regulars that congregate there every evening are not nice. They are too busy drinking and talking to eachother to monitor their dogs. I brought 2 large dogs and they were repeatedly attacked by the small dogs that were owned by these regulars. My one dog was bitten underneath her eye and had to get stitches. This cost me around $500. These regulars do not care, they are inebriated, and unwilling to keep their dogs away. I asked the one owner to keep his dog away and I was threatened by the owner and told to leave. The owner yelled obscenities and began walking towards me as if he was going to hurt me. One of the other regulars stopped him. This is not a safe environment to take your dog, small, medium, or large. Be careful. Sanibel, Jensen Beach, Ft. Myers, are all wonderful places and the dog owners are respectful and diligent.
Don't take your little dogs here.
Tobi in Naples
When we took our 22 dog to "the beach" a huge dog was allowed to maul it until I literally attacked the big dog. It's owner could not have cared less about his dog jumping mine or me jumping on his dog. About one month later a small dog was killed at this park by a big dog and NOTHING was done about it. In my opinion it is NOT a safe place for ANY dog.

The review itself, I think it is pretty decent. I disagree in your opinion about "Feral" because I absolutely love both versions. "Morning Mr. Magpie" was definitely better in here than in the studio version, for me at least. The guitar playing is so much intense and catchy, but I still love the original too. While I can see why you think this version is better, I can't say I agree. I think it's more energetic and perhaps that makes it more fun as a listen, but I feel the "dreary/feels like your walking through a cold misty forest" kind of atmosphere that the studio version depicts throughout makes for a more compelling listen. But that's just me. Digging: Shabazz Palaces - Lese Majesty

3. Enter the thermal zone. Experts such as Digital Realty's Vice President of Engineering Jim Smith recommend setting up hot and cool aisles in the datacenter. In this kind of layout, each aisle between rows of server racks is bounded with either just hot-air outlets or cool-air intakes. The goal is to isolate and extract heat before it mixes with cold air.
Use strip curtains to enhance the separation by blocking open space above the racks. (Smith had other insights to share with me in an interview, which you can watch http://www.infoworld.com/archives/videoTemplate.jsp?Id=1352 ">right here.)
4. Pull some plugs. Hopefully you have a way of knowing which machines in your datacenter are actually being utilized. If not, performing an inventory is always a good idea. Once you've done that and determine which ones are running at 0 percent utilization, unplug them, suggests Douglas: "If there is a problem [and] someone complains about the system being unavailable, turn it back on." You will see immediate power and cooling savings.
5. Harness the elements. Air- and water-side economizers, or a combination thereof, can help deliver efficient, inexpensive cooling in the right environments, according to Amory Lovins, CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI). He told SearchDataCenter.com, "An air-side economizer is very cheap in capital cost and uses essentially no energy, just a tiny bit for controls. Water-side economizer, evaporative cooling with a cooling tower, and heat exchanges in your chilled water loop, [costs] $100 per ton. If you design it very well, it gives you 100 or even 125 units of coefficient performance."
These tips are, of course, just starting-off points, but they're well worth trying. Not only might they help you achieve some of the cost-saving benefits of a greener datacenter, but, hey, all the cool IT pros are doing it.

By David Rogers
SYDNEY--The Australian dollar rose to a three-day high in choppy trading on Friday on hope the U.S. will avert a fiscal crisis.
At 0545 GMT the Australian dollar was at US$0.9474 compared with US$0.9403 late on Thursday in Asia.
While the U.S. dollar continued rising against the Japanese yen the Aussie dollar rose as investors saw less risk of a U.S. debt default that may crimp international economic growth, Commonwealth Bank of Australia chief currency strategist Richard Grace said.
"It's more in response to the lift in global equity markets which are a leading indicator of economic growth," Mr. Grace said. "The market is seeing less risk of a U.S. debt default even though we haven't got a resolution on this political debate yet."
Thursday's 2.2% rise in the S&P 500--its biggest since January--followed House Speaker John Boehner's (R., Ohio) proposal to extend the debt ceiling until Nov. 22 with none of the policy strings Republicans previously demanded.
The Australian dollar fell to 0.9435 in early Asian trade as the U.S. dollar briefly dived against the yen following news President Obama had walked away from the GOP proposal. Those moves were quickly unwound after House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) said the President had neither walked away nor agreed to the proposal.
After meeting for an hour with senior House Republicans the White House said in a statement Mr. Obama "looks forward to making continued progress."
"What I'm perhaps somewhat concerned about is that President Obama has not exactly embraced this deal," Mr. Grace said. "Traders in London and New York may look upon this a bit differently to Asia and I think the risk is that this [rally] reverses in the short term."
The U.S. dollar was probably headed much higher against the Japanese yen in the longer term as a result of an eventual tapering of U.S. bond buying and a collapse in Japan's current-account surplus, Mr. Grace said.
The Aussie will rise against the yen even as it feels the effects of a stronger U.S. unit in the longer term, Mr. Grace said.
The Aussie may take a lead from China international trade data due on Saturday. Domestic housing finance data are due for release on Monday and the Reserve Bank of Australia will publish minutes of its October board meeting on Tuesday. RBA Governor Glenn Stevens will speak at a Sydney conference next Friday.

Daryle Washington is the victim of a racist employer who has jeopardized his ability to provide for himself and his five children. According to Mr. Washington, he is not the only one mistreated by this employer, Recology Corp. of San Francisco. There has been a pattern of poor training, physical stress, injuries and emotional distress of racial jokes and remarks, as well as nooses placed in full view of Black employees.

Last week, rather than allow Marcus Books family members to relocate after evicting them, the Sweis family stole all of the books and used sledge hammers to smash the book shelves and furniture. To the Black community, this is a repeat of history, where invaders come in time and time again to smash the symbols and evidence of a people's greatness. This will NOT be tolerated. Will you stand with us and DEMAND the Sweises respect our history? We need to pressure the Sweises to do the decent thing.

Black people have largely been locked out of construction work in San Francisco since 1998. That's a shame, because construction work is a solution to many of the ills in the Black community. Construction wages are high, and when Black contractors have work, they are generally eager to train Black workers regardless of their school, police or prison records.
May 3, 2013
The long journey to an equitable pathway for community workers and contractors at San Francisco Unified has seen great progress over the past year; and the same policy makers, community members, labor leaders and community contractors that brought us this far appear poised to carry a torch now held by many across the line between longstanding hope and a truly historic reality.
March 6, 2013
RUMEC has been at the forefront of the new labor movement. We would like to unify our people through construction, religion, art, music and education. We seek the liberation from outside forces that foment ignorance, oppression and poverty. We aspire to escalate into an established position of recognition and respect as an independent, all inclusive institution that represents our striving people.

It has been five short months since dozens of unemployed Black workers and contractors protested exclusion of Blacks from demolition and demanded inclusion of Blacks in the rebuilding of Bayview's Willie Brown Middle School. Now SFUSD plans to ask the School Board at their meeting Tuesday, Feb. 12, 6 p.m., at 555 Franklin, First Floor, to AWARD THE $44.6 MILLION CONTRACT FOR WILLIE BROWN SCHOOL TO A MAJOR WHITE CONTRACTOR without competitive bidding. Pack the meeting! Protest economic racism!
August 29, 2011
On the corner of Third and Revere, where the Bayview Library used to be, nothing is left but bare ground. One of the few places in the neighborhood where youngsters felt safe and enriched and everyone was welcome is gone. If the City had allowed the low bidder to build the new library, it would have been at least halfway to completion by now. The youngsters who love the library would be watching their parents and older brothers and sisters build a beautiful new library for them to return to in a matter of months. Liberty Builders, my general contracting company, was that low bidder.

Minutes after the outrageous police killing of 19-year-old Kenneth Harding a stone's throw from my home and office, I joined the crowd and for two hours listened to the witnesses, shared the anger and echoed the calls for unity. Let us demand the right to "own and operate and control the economy of our community," as Brother Malcolm advised. Now – right now – is the time for us to prove that it's not the police, it's not the prison guards or the big developers who have the power to impoverish and enslave us and drive us off our land. The ultimate power belongs to the people, and we will use it.

While Assemblymember Jerry Hill and his controversial anti-local hiring bill AB 356 were busy drawing statewide opposition, the counties of San Francisco and San Mateo were calmly settling their differences for the betterment of workers in both jurisdictions. "There has been one positive thing resulting from the AB 356 debate: It has united leaders and communities all over the state to say that local hire is crucial to economic recovery," said Greenlining Institute general counsel Samuel Kang. "Jerry Hill awoke a sleeping giant. By trying to kill local hire, he's only made it stronger."
April 28, 2011
A sea of overwhelming opposition in cities from the San Francisco Bay Area to Los Angeles has risen against San Mateo Assemblymember Jerry Hill and his anti-local hiring measure, Assembly Bill 356, which threatens state funding for any California city with a local hiring policy.
April 7, 2011
After many months of discussions with the City regarding the rescission of an award to rebuild the Bayview Library, Liberty Builders has retained San Francisco civil rights attorney DeWitt Lacy to pursue legal remedies for discriminatory breach of contract.
January 3, 2011
Liberty Builders continues to fight for its right to reinstatement as the prime contractor for construction of the Bayview Branch Library. Liberty Builders is trusted by the people of Bayview Hunters Point, who have long been locked out of City construction work, to give them full and fair opportunity to build the library they love. Tell City Hall: "Our library, our jobs!" Tell Mayor Newsom how you feel about this and what you want – call (415) 554-6141, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit Room 200, City Hall.
December 14, 2010
I am back with you fighting for our jobs at a time when I should have been preparing to choose many of you to work with me to build the new Bayview Library. The contract to build our library in our neighborhood was taken from my company, Liberty Builders, and awarded instead to a white contractor, K C K Builders, whose bid included no Blacks at all. This time we won't let the gate swing shut again for another dozen years. We're all fighting back – and we're winning, especially with the passage of Supervisor John Avalos' Mandatory Local Hire ordinance.
December 13, 2010
Supervisor John Avalos won overwhelming support from his colleagues for his landmark local hiring legislation Tuesday, Dec. 7, calling the law a "New Deal for San Francisco." City procedure requires a second and final reading of the measure next Tuesday, followed by a vote to send the law to Mayor Newsom for his signature.
September 4, 2010
My sorrow is for what's happening to the Black contractors and their crews in the Bay Area trying to get bonding but being rejected by the bonding companies. The Black and Brown vote is too large for us to keep on being set aside and ignored.
September 3, 2010
On Sept. 1, we learned that Liberty Builders, owned by Bay View publisher Willie Ratcliff, will build the new Bayview Library. That's a great breakthrough for Liberty Builders, the Bay View and the entire community and a step toward heeding the advice of Malcolm X: "We should own and operate and control the economy of our community." Keep an eye on www.sfbayview.com. In about a month, we should know when the jobs will begin and how you can benefit.
August 4, 2010
Who will fight for the people? Who will stand with them on tough issues? Nyese Joshua. Why is Bayview Hunters Point at the center of my focus? Because it is the political boiling point; Bayview, as they say, is San Francisco's future.
May 16, 2010
"We're trying to get in. Some people don't want us in." That's the message Willie Ratcliff took from the bullet that crashed through our bedroom window at 1:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 13. Ratcliff has a hunch it was fired by someone trying to scare him out of competing to build the new Bayview Library. Someone must be scared that Black power is about to break the 12-year lockout of Blacks from construction in San Francisco. Black power does not bow to a bullet.
April 28, 2010
Bay View publisher Willie Ratcliff's construction company, Liberty Builders, has advanced to the second stage of competition for the contract to build the new Bayview Library. The next hurdle is bonding, a barrier that usually locks Blacks out. Ratcliff has a long proven record of hiring from the community. Bay Area Black Builders will join the mass JOBS RALLY Saturday, May 8, 12 noon, New Federal Bldg, 7th & Mission, SF, to demand jobs for all.
April 9, 2010
The new Bayview Library must be built by the people it serves. No more exclusion of Blacks as with Third Street Light Rail. Bay View publisher Willie Ratcliff's company, Liberty Builders, is competing to build it with a team of top Black construction professionals committed to hiring from the community. Come to the Bay Area Black Builders meeting Saturday, April 10, 12 noon, at 1099 Sunnydale, Vis Valley, San Francisco.

Andrew Perloff, of CNNSI, has decided that Ole Miss will have two first-round draft picks next year and hints at the possibility of a third. That's right. Two, maybe three. They are:
Michael Oher. Yeah, of course. We've known MIke was first-round talent since the day Shawn Tuhoy saw him on the mean streets of Memphis and "moved him on up." Barring injury, legal incident, or over-ingestion of Taco Bell's new 89 cent cheezy double beef burritos, Mike's gonna make it rain.
Peria Jerry. Really? 'Cuz I didn't see this part coming. Isn't he more likely to go on IR than the first round of the draft?
Perloff even mentions second-team all-American back-up Greg Hardy, whom he says "overshadows" Peria. Y'know who overshadows both of them? HINT: He's the 8,000 pound namesake of Ole Miss' new jumbotron who, if he can make C's in Underwater Basketweaving, Remedial Addition, and "Independent Study" to play one season of Ole Miss football, will be the idiot that makes way more money than you.
Anyway, when three Ole Miss players are mentioned in Mock First Round Drafts (even though it's 362 days before the next one), you know someone's on the Kool-Aid.

Lisa Jo Williams, an employee of the LaRue County Public Library, has been named a recipient of a Library Science Tuition Scholarship.
Williams received a $500 scholarship. She is attending Bluegrass Community and Technical College.
The State Board for the Certification of Librarians created the Library Science Tuition Scholarship program to encourage continuing education among library administrators and staff. The board distributed $7,000 in scholarship money to 11 Kentucky public library employees for the fall semester.
David Robertson of Hodgenville drove his John Deere tractor and hay rake past First Baptist Church of Hodgenville.
Before John Wilkes Booth became infamous as the assassin of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, he was a famous actor.
He was dubbed "the most handsome man in America."
With focus on the 150th anniversary of the Civil War and the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth, Booth has returned to the limelight.
Bart Lovins, actor and director of the Hardin County Performing Arts Center, is presenting a one-man play about Booth's last evening as a free man – just prior to Lincoln's assassination at Ford's Theatre.
A Hodgenville man has been charged with endangering students on a LaRue County school bus.
Larry Steven Williams, 60, saw a school bus turn around in his driveway on White City Road on April 29 and began following it in his vehicle., according to an arrest warrant filed by Constable Jeff Metcalf.
Williams passed the bus as it was entering a curve and incline, Metcalf said. Williams allegedly began honking his horn and drove around the bus "appearing to be in a very mad rage." The bus driver moved over to let him pass, Metcalf said.
For Terry Wise, an epiphany – a change in the way he views life itself – came during a June 15 visit to the site where the Twin Towers once stood in New York City.
"When I stood there where the Towers had been and looked at the street where 32 people jumped to their death to avoid burning to death, I could somehow feel the presence of those who died," said Wise, a Hodgenville native who is an editorial cartoonist and was on assignment in the Big Apple as a software trainer with the U.S. Army.
After sitting empty for four years, Magnolia Elementary School is getting spruced up to serve a different purpose under new ownership.
Christine and Brent Shelton and Terry and Diane Shelton purchased the property by sealed bid from the LaRue County Board of Education through their company Quarry Hill Monuments for $60,000 last November.
A Hodgenville man has been charged with burglary and forgery after allegedly taking checks from two homes.
Wesley S. Stoke, 25, formerly of Louisville, is accused of entering a house on Bardstown Road and taking checks, later using them to gain cash. He is accused also of taking checks from his roommate.
Accord-ing to LaRue Deputy Matt Darst, one of the victims permitted Stokes to stay at his house "because he didn't have a place to live."
Sue Osborne has been selected as principal at Hodgenville Elementary School.
The HES site-based decision making council and Superintendent Sam Sanders made the announcement after a special called meeting June 30.
Osborne served as principal of Washington County Elementary School from 2002-10 and Elementary Curriculum Supervisor in Mercer County this past year. She has 14 years of classroom teaching experience in Elizabeth-town and Nelson County Schools and served as principal of Brooks Elementary School.
Don't wait ... hydrate!
The summer is here and we have already endured some very hot days. Hopefully, we are all eating less, exercising more and staying hydrated by drinking more water.
Water, the nutrient our body needs the most, also helps prevent dehydration. The effects of dehydration can range from thirst to kidney failure and are usually silent but progressive. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the early signs of water loss because before we know it, we can become severely dehydrated.

Brandt's Cormorant, Phalacrocorax penicillatus
Brandt's Cormorant (Phalacrocorax penicillatus), is a species of marine bird of the cormorant family of seabirds. It inhabits the Pacific coast of North America. Its summer range extends from Alaska to the Gulf of California. The populations north of Vancouver Island migrate south during the winter.
The bird's specific name, penicillatus, is Latin for 'pencil of hairs,' in reference to the white plumes on its neck and back during the early breeding season. The common name honors German naturalist Johann Friedrich von Brandt of the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersburg, who described the species during expeditions to the Pacific during the early 19th century.
Brandt's Cormorant feed either singly or in flocks, and are adaptable in prey choice and undersea habitat. Its diet consists of small fish from the surface to the sea floor. It obtains its food by, like all cormorants, pursuit diving using its feet for propulsion. Prey is dependent on what is most common in its range; in central California rockfish are the most common food, but off British Columbia, it is the Pacific Herring. This marine bird can dive up to depths of 40 feet in search of its prey.
During the breeding season, adults have a blue throat patch. This species nests on the ground or on rocky outcroppings.

Does anyone have any experience giving Floradix to toddlers? My 22 lb 19-month old has been diagnosed as anemic and I'd like to try her on Floradix before using regular iron drops, but the bottle only gives dosage instructions for ages 4 and up. Can anyone tell me how much they've given their toddler?
Thank you!

Johnson returns to training
1:11pm Thursday 10th April 2014 in Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
LEON Johnson was back training with the Wanderers first team squad this week after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Blues boss Gareth Ainsworth said he hopes the experienced central defender will be able to feature in the squad at Newport County on Saturday.
But doubts remain over the fitness of Matt Bloomfield, who was substituted in the first half against Dagenham and Redbridge with a leg injury, and Anthony Stewart, who like Johnson has also been nursing a hamstring complaint.

By Bonnie Gibson, Content Creator at RAMP
Today's sales and marketing tactics are full of noise and clutter. As a sales or marketing professional, you might be wondering, "What does a lead need to be a customer?" or "What does the customer need to stay a customer?" or even both. The answer lies within Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs, the need for love and belonging. Successful businesses such as JetBlue and HubSpot know that creating a more human experience will allow their business to grow. Producing videos is a way to reach your audience and show the human side of your business. Let's take a quick look at how video can help attract, engage, and convert your prospects and delight your current customers.
Attract – Your step to gaining trust
Think of this as a "getting to know you" stage. Sometimes that getting to know you phase can be overlooked and misunderstood. Even with the best of intentions, nothing drives me crazier than the use of caps and exclamation points. It reminds me of watching the monster truck commercials I'd see as a kid where the announcer is yelling, "SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!!" Video clarifies your messaging the way bold, italics, caps, and five exclamation marks simply can't.
Examples of videos that attract:
· Tips and tricks
· Demos
· Introductions
Engage – Being as human as possible
Purchases are based on need and emotion. The bigger the purchase, the higher the emotion. So it would make sense in any sales or marketing strategy to cater on the side of emotion to further build a relationship with your prospects. With a video, you can put a face behind the pitch and build trust and relationship with your potential customer. This is what Vsnap is all about, sending short, personal messages showing a prospect or customer how much you appreciate their business.
Examples of videos that can engage:
· Follow up's
· Thank you's
Convert – Keep the cycle going
In marketing, we strive for conversions, and we do this by creating a call-to-action. If you've ever seen a "register here" or "download now" button, then you've seen a call to action. The call to action is the next step you want the customer to take. For a disengaged customer, you might want to send a quick video letting them know you care and what steps to take to keep them involved in a relationship with your customer. You might have a big renewal coming up for a current customer, using video to convey why you are excited about your company can help in getting the customer ready for that new contract.
Remember, it's not about how big you or your business is, it's about how your customer feels. When your customer feels the love, so does your business. In the "Age of the Human Era", isn't it time you sent them a video to show your appreciation?

[Update 8/19 - Updated to reflect new October release date]
By Dave McLaughlin, CEO at Vsnap
(New Vsnap logo created by our designer Kate Lindsay!)
We announced last week that Vsnap will be launching a new product in early October and that we will be discontinuing our free service. We've been getting a lot of questions around the new product, so we've pulled together some of the frequently asked questions around pricing.
Why change your current pricing?
We did not include pricing information in that announcement because we thought that without seeing the new product, any pricing information would feel more or less arbitrary. But we are happy to share more info.
Our new pricing is based on the fact that teams that have committed to learning how to use Vsnap and to measuring their usage are capturing major value, including big revenue increases. For those teams, Vsnap will pay for itself very quickly. And we will be actively investing in the product to increase that ROI even more.
So we're re-setting the price points to reflect the impact to revenue that our most active clients are capturing by using Vsnap. For example, one of our clients recently shared with us that they closed 34% more of their sales-qualified leads when they used Vsnap to follow up on their inside sales phone calls. For them, that represents $3M in new annual revenue. (See the bottom of this post for more detail on this case study.)
What's the new pricing exactly?
As of October, we will have just two products, called Team and Enterprise. These will be available as annual subscriptions only. We will not offer a month-to-month subscription.
Team Accounts
The Team account will cost $299 per user per year. It will have from one to 25 users. The features include the following:
Management oversight features so that leaders can support their team members and measure their activity
Provide a branded experience, richer than in the current product, for the customers watching your vsnaps. Your brand, not Vsnap's
Real-time view notifications when your customer watches that vsnap you sent
Dashboards for each account member and for the team as a whole
Ability to send as many vsnaps as you want, which we will store and host for 12 months
Enterprise Accounts
An Enterprise Account will be any account that has more than 25 members, or that adds on features that are not included in the Team account. Examples of additional features include our Send As feature, our Salesforce.com integration (more info coming soon), and our APIs that give you greater customization and integration capabilities. Here's a link to our Viewer API, and we'll be adding another important API with the new product release.
Enterprise pricing is specific to a given customer. It will start with the $299 Team price as a base, then increases according to the additional features you feel you need.
Tell me more about the trial that everyone will be auto-enrolled in as of early October.
All new signups will be given a 14-day free trial so they can try out Vsnap for themselves. No credit card will be required for the trial. All existing Free Vsnap account holders will be transferred into a free 14-day trial when the new product launches, unless you ask us to shut down your account prior to that.
Can we get a sneak preview of the site?
We'll be sharing more details on the new site as the launch day gets closer. Stay tuned to the blog for some sneak peeks of what it'll look like and other features.
Where can I read more about the company that used Vsnap to close 34% more of its sales-qualified leads?
There's a good description of the use case in this free e-book, Tools & Tactics to Close More SQLs. For August, we'll be providing a more detailed write-up with a broader summary of the benefits that company captured.
If you have any other questions about the new pricing or want to share some feedback, please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and one of the team will get back to you ASAP. We'll also be sending a few more updates in the coming months, so stay tuned to your email as well.

By Dave McLaughlin, CEO & Co-Founder at Vsnap
How we feel determines what we do. This is true in our personal lives. And it's true in business.
Customer emotion accelerates sales velocity, and it inspires evangelism. It's what lies behind every single referral and retweet you've ever received.
Vsnap's new Viewer API is an entirely new tool for people in Sales and Support who want to engage their customers emotionally. There's a quick overview below. But first, for the newcomers…
What is Vsnap?
If you're in a customer-facing role but you don't have any face-to-face interaction with your customer, then you use Vsnap to send that person a quick, one-to-one video message.
It's the easiest and most efficient way to establish a personal connection with a remote customer as a context for doing business together. Now, our new Viewer API makes all this better. It provides three big benefits…
Benefit #1 = Full Branding Customization
Prior to now, when you vsnap a customer, she watches that message at a vsnap.com URL, in the context of Vsnap's logo, etc. In short, vsnapping has been a Vsnap experience, not a YourCompany experience.
But our new Viewer API lets you completely tailor your customer's experience. Your customer will receive a customized notification from your email address that brings her to a page on your website, and we'll dynamically stream the vsnap you've made for her right into this view page.
There's nothing else like this. A personal video speaking directly to a single customer — talk about making someone feel important! — watchable at the customer's convenience, in the context of your brand assets.
Here's an example of a vsnap being sent without our API, and here's the same vsnap when the sender has implemented the API.
Benefit #2 = Action Focus
In the example above, notice that Nineteenth Amendment's developer has chosen to make the video larger. Also, notice that they've removed the reply functionality. Those simple details illustrate an important point — that everything on the view page is now in your control.
With the Viewer API, you are free to use or not use any of the current Vsnap elements. The title, the attachments, the description, the sentiment buttons, the reply and forward buttons, etc.
And you are free to introduce whatever calls to action you want that customer to take. Remember, Vsnap drives customer action 41% more than email outreach. Now you can choose what actions you want them to take when they finish watching your vsnap.
Here are examples of how some clients are using this flexibility.
Inside Sales team - Looking to drive demo calls, putting a "Schedule Demo" button right next to each vsnap.
Consumer Apparel company - Sending vsnaps to engage influencers, presenting two clear calls to action: "Purchase" and "Promote".
Online Education - Using Vsnap to increase enrollment by as much as 70%, presenting vsnap recipients a "Register Now" button.
Net Promoter - An online services company sends a vsnap to each client to ask them to complete the Net Promoter question, pairing the video with the ability for the customer to replay 1 to 10 right in the same interface.
Increase Engagement - An insurance company vsnaps clients on their birthdays, gives them a "Schedule a Call" button — using this "surprise & delight" tactic to uncover upsell opportunities.
Benefit #3 = Measure What You Want How You Want
Because it's your view page, you can define any events that you deem important. And you can track them in whatever analytics tool or CRM you're already using. So now you can run reports on the impact of your vsnapping — and you can connect those events to other items in your workflow.
We love businesses that believe making customers feel loved is the fastest path to growth, and that are brand-sensitive and measurement-obsessed. That's who we built this new Viewer API for.
Prior to the launch of our new site later this summer, the only way to get your hands on this API is by contacting us — just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have questions, feel free to email them, or post them in the comments below!

We've written our first Salesforce.com app, which is being beta tested now. The purpose of this post is to share a little more detail, and to invite more sales teams to participate in the beta testing.
Our goals for this integration were to put quick, personal video messaging right into sales teams' existing workflow, and to make it easier for you to track how using Vsnap impacts your Sales outcomes.
This initial integration is for companies that use the Enterprise or Unlimited versions of Salesforce.com. When you install the app, it puts a "Send a Vsnap" button into your Salesforce interface. The idea is that once you define when your team will send video messages, we want it to be easy for them to take that action.
Using the "Send a Vsnap" button opens your Vsnap recorder in a new browser window. We pre-populate the recipient email address, and we automatically store a copy of the vsnap url in the appropriate record on Salesforce. This allows anyone looking at that record to see the actual video message that was sent.
We intend to build on this initial app going forward. For example, we envision giving you the option to put more data back into the customer record, giving you even more measurability.
There are other opportunities too, which is why we're excited to have lots of input from great teams – like yours! If you'd like your team to be part of the beta testing, please just email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. And if you don't have a Vsnap premium account yet, no problem – we'll just assign this feature to you on a trial basis. It'll be a nice chance for us to work together and get to know each other.

Tetrodotoxin Poisoning Associated With Eating Puffer Fish Transported from Japan -- California, 1996
On April 29, 1996, three cases of tetrodotoxin poisoning occurred among chefs in California who shared contaminated fugu (puffer fish) brought from Japan by a co-worker as a prepackaged, ready-to-eat product. The quantity eaten by each person was minimal, ranging from approximately 1/4 to 1 1/2 oz. Onset of symptoms began approximately 3-20 minutes after ingestion, and all three persons were transported by ambulance to a local emergency department (ED). This report summarizes the investigation of these cases by the San Diego Department of Environmental Health (SDEH) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Case Reports
Case 1. A 23-year-old man ate a piece of fugu "the size of a quarter" (approximately 1/4 oz). Approximately 10-15 minutes later, he had onset of tingling in his mouth and lips followed by dizziness, fatigue, headache, a constricting feeling in his throat, difficulty speaking, tightness in his upper chest, facial flushing, shaking, nausea, and vomiting. His legs weakened, and he collapsed. On examination in the ED, his blood pressure was 150/90 mmHg; heart rate, 117 beats per minute; respiratory rate, 22 per minute; temperature, 99.3 F (37.4 C); and oxygen saturation, 99% on room air.
Case 2. A 32-year-old man ate three bites of fugu (approximately 1 1/2 oz) over 2-3 minutes. While eating his third bite, he noticed tingling in his tongue and right side of his mouth followed by a "light feeling," anxiety, and "thoughts of dying." He felt weak and collapsed. At the ED, his blood pressure was 167/125 mmHg; heart rate, 112 beats per minute; respiratory rate, 20 per minute; and oxygen saturation, 96% on room air.
Case 3. A 39-year-old man ate approximately 1/4 oz of fugu after eating a full meal. Approximately 20 minutes after eating the fugu, he had onset of dizziness and mild chest tightness. At the ED, his blood pressure was 129/75 mmHg; heart rate, 84 beats per minute; respiratory rate, 22 per minute; temperature, 97.2 F (36.2 C); and oxygen saturation, 97% on room air. Diagnosis and Treatment
A presumptive diagnosis of tetrodotoxin poisoning in all three men was based on clinical presentation in the ED and the history of recent consumption of fugu. All were treated with intravenous hydration, gastric lavage, and activated charcoal. Symptoms gradually resolved, and the men were discharged the following day with no residual symptoms. Follow-Up Investigation
The chef who brought the fugu from Japan failed to declare this item through customs. The remaining fugu was obtained for toxin analysis at FDA. SDEH contacted health authorities in Japan and relayed the product label information for identification of the product manufacturer to assist in their local follow-up investigation.
Reported by: P Tanner, San Diego Dept of Environmental Health; G Przekwas, R Clark, MD, San Diego Regional Poison Center, Univ of California at San Diego Medical Center; M Ginsberg, MD, San Diego County Health Dept; S Waterman, MD, State Epidemiologist, California Dept of Health Svcs. Food and Drug Administration. Div of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, National Center for Environmental Health; Div of Field Epidemiology, Epidemiology Program Office, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The order Tetraodontoidea includes ocean sunfishes, porcupine fishes, and fugu, which are among the most poisonous of all marine life (1). These species inhabit the shallow waters of the temperate and tropical zones and can be exported from China, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, and Taiwan. The liver, gonads, intestines, and skin of these fish contain tetrodotoxin, a powerful neurotoxin that can cause death in approximately 60% of persons who ingest it (2). Other animals (e.g., California newt and the eastern salamander) also possess tetrodotoxin in lethal quantities (3) (Table_1).
Tetrodotoxin is heat-stable and blocks sodium conductance and neuronal transmission in skeletal muscles. Paresthesias begin 10-45 minutes after ingestion, usually as tingling of the tongue and inner surface of the mouth. Other common symptoms include vomiting, lightheadedness, dizziness, feelings of doom, and weakness. An ascending paralysis develops, and death can occur within 6-24 hours, secondary to respiratory muscle paralysis. Other manifestations include salivation, muscle twitching, diaphoresis, pleuritic chest pain, dysphagia, aphonia, and convulsions. Severe poisoning is indicated by hypotension, bradycardia, depressed corneal reflexes, and fixed dilated pupils. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and a history of ingestion. Treatment is supportive, and there is no specific antitoxin (6). Despite the high death rate associated with tetrodotoxin poisoning, the three persons described in this report survived probably because of the small amount of toxin ingested and rapid stomach evacuation by the ED.
Although personal importation of fugu into the United States is prohibited, FDA has permitted fugu to be imported and served in Japanese restaurants by certified fugu chefs on special occasions. A cooperative agreement with the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare ensures fugu is properly processed and certified safe for consumption before export by the government of Japan. If cleaned and dressed properly, the fugu flesh or musculature is edible and considered a delicacy by some persons in Japan, who may pay the equivalent of $400 U.S. for one meal. Despite careful preparation, fugu remains a common cause of fatal food poisoning in Japan, accounting for approximately 50 deaths annually (7).
Although arriving travelers are required to declare all food products brought into the United States, control measures rely primarily on the traveler. Other foodborne outbreaks in the United States have occurred after consumption of illegally imported food products (8). Persons who travel to countries where fugu is served should be aware of the potential risk of eating this fish.

Quick sketches of my shifter monk.
Faded Sketches turned 2 today!
Thanks to everyone for each like and follow you've given me. :) They brighten up my day and encourage me to keep posting. Thank you.
Something simple, because I'm tired of being stressed about drawing.
This is Emerinion, a friend's character, the dearheart of my Eche. ♥
Oh hey whats this I drew a super quick thing
It's Eche again, he grows branches and moss, I imagine he'd look something like this if he didn't trim them. I forgot to make his skin look all bark-y. Ref used for pose.
Just a quick doodle of my charr, Mihret Hopecrush. :) I thought I was being original with her last name, but it turns out there is an npc, "Zyron Hopecrush". Oh well.
Another unfinished thing…
These two are my character Lumi's parents, Mneme and Auronen, some time long ago.
From our D&D party, Alduini the goliath. I wanted to draw him really tough and macho, but I think I went too far and it ended up not looking like the friendly giant the character is. Oops.

Harrisburg students found out what it's like to help others while having fun today.
A group of seventh graders got the chance to stop by the Great Plains Zoo, and clean up the homes of some four-legged residents.
It was a beautiful day to get outside and do some yard work. But these kids from Harrisburg South got to do their manual labor at the zoo.
"We raked a lot of the leaves. And now we're doing like the inner area," seventh grader Jared Inskeep said.
"It's been a different experience. I don't think I've ever raked at the zoo, but it's new but it's nice to know that I cleaned a cage for an animal," seventh grader Ashley O'Connor said.
As part of their Community Service Day, the students helped clean up the areas inside and around the wallaby and red wolf exhibits.
Zookeeper Mickey Adams says getting the winter debris and leaves out of the way helps with the animals' demeanor.
"Digging up new scents helps keep them interested in everything that's going on around them. Also just to make everything look nice. They like a nice clean home, just like we like a nice clean home," Adams said.
The extra hands also helps Adams out a lot.
"If they didn't come in to do it, it would probably take me about four hours to do. So having them do it in about 45 minutes was amazing," Adams said.
The kids say they were happy to help and look forward to doing it again some day.
"Yeah definitely. It's been a great experience," O'Connor said.
"It makes a big difference and it shows other people walking by how to do the right thing," Inskeep said.
Zoo officials say they are always looking for volunteers to help out. You can contact them for more information at (605) 367-7003.
You can also check out the Zoo's website.

Being totally transparent, I haven't been in here since early last decade, am in GR for some family business, and it happened to coincide with a Founder's KBS rollout week...so we rolled over to get a pour of the KBS.
Right up front, it isn't Logan's fault, but the place was a madhouse, in a good way. People were friendly, pumped up for the KBS, and generally in great spirits. The staff were great, too. The place was crazy busy, they never skipped a beat, and served everyone fast and with a smile.
Tried a couple other beers while there as well, but the boards and beer lists were endless, with so many craft beers from Michigan and beyond, there is no way to go there and not find something, or some style, you would not like...even a shitty adjunct from St Louis.
Go in a have a beer, you'll love this place. I know if I still lived in GR, I'd probably go there a couple times a month, just to try something new and enjoy the neighborhood feel that the bar reeks of.

Logan's Alley is a neighborhood pub that embraces it's neighborhood. The regulars frequently refer to it as their "living room" and is friendly enough to draw people to drive from the suburbs on a daily basis!
As all of Michigan, it is smoke-free. Drinks are poured generously (but not irresponsibly), which brings the liquor crowd back again and again. The beer selection is where they really rock it though--so many revolving taps and hundreds of varied bottles! I've had good beers and bad beers, all at Logan's Alley. If you can drink "4 Beers A Month" (who can't?) you must join their "Around the World" Club; half off all bottles on Wednesday and worth-it prizes for quarterly milestones.
They can appeal to just about anyone... The 3rd shifters swing by for the 7am open and the kitchen actually stays open until 2am for the late-night munchies. You really can't go wrong at Logan's.

Great selection of brews and great food! I always enjoy my time there. It's easy to find a beer that I'll like, and I can be rather picky.
The only real problem is that the place is tiny and has little parking. This is a real problem on a Saturday night...so I just go to its sister pub - The Monarch Club. I went during a weekday afternoon and the place was almost empty - but parking was easy to find.
If this place were bigger, with more parking and some entertainment, it could be a major destination in GR during the weekend. Right now, it's a popular neighborhood bar.

You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning...
This place looks like a neighborhood dive, and is as friendly and down to earth as you would expect as such. BUT the beer selection and menu choices were definitely well above anything I could have hoped for. As a craft beer traveller, I really appreciate finding a pub that carries and celebrates local breweries. We got to try Oddsides Citra, Brewery Vivant, Right Brain and Shorts ControverSI ale. Also an excellent short-rib and bacon sandwich.
The ratings don't make you think this is a must visit stop for travellers coming to GR.
This is a must visit.

Logan's Alley has the best selection of bottled beer I have ever seen. They actually have a leather bound book that showcase roughly 250 beers from around the world. They always have a great rotation of taps and are one of the few places I've seen with a dedicated Delirium tap.
The reason I started heading to LA is because I was working 3rd shifts and they were one of the only bars that was open at 7am. Many 3rd shifters, particularly from the medical field, tend to head in after work. The atmosphere is very laid back and the bar has the typical whole in the wall feel.
The staff all seem very knowledgeable and friendly, particularly for the time of morning they're behind the bar. If you're looking for a great place to try some new brews without the crowd or hype, this is the place you need to be!
