Natural Resources
As a native Westerner, I'm passionate about preserving our natural environment and quality of life. For generations, my family has hiked, skied, and rafted many of Colorado's wild lands and rivers and protecting these landscapes is one of the primary reasons I sought public office.
As a member of the U.S. Senate — and previously the U.S. House of Representatives — protecting our natural resources has always been one of my top priorities. Along with my position on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I chair the Senate Subcommittee on National Parks, which oversees legislation and other issues related to our national park system, including outdoor recreation, land use and historic preservation. These issues are vitally important to our state's economy and natural heritage, and my position gives me a powerful voice on these important Colorado priorities.
In 2011, the president signed a bill that I authored to allow summertime activities at ski areas on National Forest land. The act revises the 1986 law governing the permitting of ski areas on National Forests, clarifying that the U.S. Forest Service can allow year-round recreational activities where appropriate. This important change will increase opportunities for recreation in ski communities during the shoulder seasons, creating jobs and boosting local economies in Colorado and across the nation.
Another goal of mine is to secure full and dedicated funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Congress created LWCF in 1965 to protect and preserve open spaces for future generations of Americans using a small fraction of royalties from offshore oil drilling. Although LWCF is authorized to receive $900 million annually, it is subject to congressional appropriations, meaning it often receives significantly less. This threatens our wild and open spaces, and that's why I co-sponsored bipartisan legislation to create a designated LWCF "lockbox" to provide full and permanent funding for this critical fund. This will ensure that current and future generations continue to enjoy Colorado's rich outdoor heritage and I'll continue to push for its passage.
Finally, as I advocate for Colorado and our nation's natural treasures, I believe it's important to listen to all points of view. In the West, we know that it's only by working together that we can overcome our differences and do what's right for our families and our communities. That's how I've always worked, and it's how I'll continue to bring people together to get things done.
Forest Management, Bark Beetles and Fire Risk
When our forests are not healthy, Colorado's economy, environment and water are all at risk. That's why two of my main priorities have always been to promote smarter forest management policies and protect Colorado communities from wildfire. I will continue fighting to make sure our forest-management agencies have all the support and policies they need to protect public safety, clean water, natural resources and local jobs.
In addition, as the bark beetle epidemic continues to spread across our Western forests, it's clear that we need to take action to better protect our forests — as well as homeowners and anyone who spends time among the trees — from wildfire and beetle-weakened trees. That's why I am leading the effort to devote more federal resources to address this serious problem. I continue to work with my colleagues in Colorado and in Congress to look for creative solutions to better manage our forests and support innovative uses for dead and dying trees.
I am also always looking for creative ways to support our forest-management industry and the important jobs it brings to rural communities. Most recently, I've seen how supporting our state's few remaining sawmills and helping cut through red tape — as well as encouraging more homebuilders to use beetle-kill in home construction — creates jobs and reduces the risk of wildfire. In addition to employing hundreds of Coloradans, the mills play a crucial role in the fight against the bark beetle epidemic and wildfire by helping clear hazardous fuels and beetle-killed trees and recycling them into wood products. By creating new technologies, innovative products and markets for beetle-killed wood, these new forest-thinning projects in the wildland-urban interface are full of promise for our mountain communities. That's why I will continue working to improve the health of our forests and to protect the jobs and communities they support.
Protecting our Public Lands
As an avid outdoorsman, I appreciate the need to respect and protect our public lands while also ensuring that the resources and recreational opportunities they provide remain accessible to all. Throughout my years in Congress, I have worked to balance these two needs, which is why I'm so proud to have helped to establish several new wilderness areas (James Peak and Rocky Mountain National Park) and wildlife refuges (Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge) in Colorado.
I'm also proud to have supported the 2009 Omnibus Public Lands Act, which protects some of our nation's greatest treasures for future generations. It includes several provisions that I authored, making good on long-discussed efforts to preserve the Front Range Mountain Backdrop — resolving a Nixon-era promise for wilderness at Rocky Mountain National Park — and taking an important step toward protecting water supplies for the Arkansas Valley. The law is an historic achievement and represents 10 years of my work to bridge divides and collaborate with people of all opinions. That's why, on April 9, 2009, I proudly joined U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and other members of the Colorado delegation to dedicate the new wilderness area at Rocky Mountain National Park.
I remain dedicated to preserving more of Colorado's iconic and wild public lands with this same community-driven approach. For example, I have engaged in a multi-year effort to draft legislation establishing wilderness in southwest Colorado's San Juan Mountains. The San Juan Mountains Wilderness Act was developed through three years of work with stakeholders to expand wilderness in classic Colorado landscapes, such as Mount Sneffels and Lizard Head, while maintaining fair access for all land users. This was not a simple or quick process, but this locally-driven approach is a model for how new wilderness protections should be proposed. I intend to use this model as I continue working to protect the landscapes and open spaces that make Colorado the most beautiful state in the nation.
Throughout 2012 and 2013, I led a collaborative, community-based effort that looked at how to bring wilderness and national monument designations to two of Colorado's most beautiful areas — the Central Mountains (Summit, Eagle and Pitkin counties) and Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River (Chafee County). I held numerous public meetings, worked with various stakeholders and received thousands of public comments on how to best ensure that public lands like these continue to be one of Colorado's greatest economic engines.
Then, In December 2013, I was proud to introduce The Browns Canyon National Monument and Wilderness Act, which is a community-driven effort to preserve 22,000 acres of forest and canyons between Salida and Buena Vista — an area that includes the most popular whitewater rafting destination in the country. My grassroots bill will help create jobs, strengthen Chaffee County's economy and preserve this special place for decades to come.
I have also supported small common-sense land exchanges that help Colorado's mountain communities. For example, I oversaw passage of a 2011 bill to help protect the community of Sugarloaf from wildfire. The bill ensures that the Boulder County fire district actually owns the land under two of its three fire stations by allowing a small land exchange with the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest. This enables the fire district to maintain and upgrade its fire stations to better serve the Sugarloaf community and nearby properties at risk of wildfire. In Summit County, I am working to pass the Lake Hill Administrative Site Affordable Housing Act to convey 40 acres of federal administrative land so that the county can build more affordable workforce housing to support local businesses.
I am also proud to have successfully supported the creation of the Chimney Rock National Monument in 2012, which recognizes a unique Chacoan archeological site located between Durango and Pagosa Springs. This monument proposal enjoyed broad bipartisan support from organizations across the region, including the Archuleta County Commission and the Pagosa Springs Chamber of Commerce.
Safeguarding Our Public Lands, Special Way of Life
Colorado's public lands are essential to our special way of life and local economies. Whether we're exploring, hiking, climbing, hunting or fishing, Coloradans agree that we need to safeguard these special places for future generations. That's why I strongly oppose proposals in the U.S. House of Representatives to sell off public land and I have introduced a common-sense proposal to require a 60-vote supermajority for the U.S. Senate to take this drastic step. We need to get our fiscal house in order, but not by enabling Washington bureaucrats to sell off these national treasures, which are vital to Colorado's outdoor-recreation economy and quality of life.
Reimbursing Colorado for Reopening Rocky Mountain National Park
The reckless government shutdown of 2013 forced Colorado taxpayers to foot the bill to keep Rocky Mountain National Park open while federal funds were frozen. Coloradans should not have to pay the price for partisan gridlock, which is why I introduced bipartisan legislation to right this wrong. My bill reimburses Colorado and several other Western states for the costs they incurred to keep national parks open during the shutdown. Our job-creating parks and public lands support Main Street businesses and fuel our outdoor recreation economy. We must continue to protect and support our national parks and the gateway communities they sustain.
Making Every Drop Count
Water is our most valuable natural resource in Colorado and across the West. That's why water management and data collection programs like the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART program and the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Census are essential to protecting our special way of life in Colorado. But without congressional action, water conservation and monitoring programs like these will be severely limited. I'm pushing to extend key elements of these important programs and help states like Colorado continue to partner with federal agencies to improve our understanding of water use and availability. This common-sense proposal will conserve water, save energy and cut costs while maintaining our quality of life.
Supporting the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Colorado's way of life depends on access to our public lands. From casual outdoorsmen to avid hunters and anglers to conservationists, everyone can benefit from the five million acres of open spaces the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has helped protect since its creation in 1964. Despite the great work the Land and Water Conservation Fund has done — including protecting Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park — it has been historically underfunded. That's why I'm leading the effort to urge the administration to fully support the Land and Water Conservation Fund and strengthen public access for hunting, fishing and other recreational activities that support our thriving outdoor economy and our western way of life.
Preventing Wildfire by Strengthening Forest Health
As part of my longstanding push to ensure that Colorado and the West have ample resources to prevent and combat wildfire, I'm always looking for ways to partner with other states and local organizations to reduce wildfire risk. That's why I'm a strong supporter of the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes, a bipartisan set of initiatives that work to confront forest health issues head-on. To ensure that these job-creating and innovative programs can continue to strengthen our forests and mitigate wildfire risk, I once again joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to urge the administration to support these programs in this year's budget. Collaborations like these are a win for both the safety and economic development of Colorado communities.

Titanomagnetite is one of the most common magnetic minerals on Earth and is the main paleomagnetic recorder in most extrusive and intrusive volcanic rocks. Researchers at the Institute for Rock Magnetism (IRM), including Julie Bowles (now a tenure-track Asst. Professor at UW-Milwaukee), Mike Jackson, and Peter Solheid recently published a paper in Nature showing that metal ions (Fe, Ti, Mg, etc.) in titanomagnetite can adjust their crystallographic arrangement (their 'cation ordering') at moderate temperatures (300-500°C). This ordering dramatically affects the mineral's Curie temperature, and hence its paleomagnetic interpretation. Bowles and Solheid recently traveled to Soufriere Hills Volcano on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean Sea to collect samples from recent pyroclastic flow deposits, where cooling rates are well constrained, in order to better understand the thermal-dependence of this ordering process.

I'm heading out to NYC tomorrow so I'm doing our Friday tea time a little early. Even without the Friday there were some great posts for the week. So once again on my Unbirthday, here is the news from the world of search:
* Blackbeard SEO makes ABC World News with this post about Apple iPhone and Ringtones and he sounds surprised, but he always has some good stuff. He was the first to market with that idea and after reading it I tend to agree with him. I think there might still be some money to be made, but it's certainly going to go downhill.
* ALERT THE MASSES! PAGERANK UPDATE!! Okay, glad we got that one over with. Move on folks, nothing to see here….
* Search Engine Journal reported on an article from Smaran Dayal that apparently YouTube is now more popular than MySpace. This is certainly complete speculation. Do you think the ignorant crowd on MySpace or the tech crowd on YouTube is more likely to have a bunch of crap sending data to Alexa? Who knows? Good post and interesting topic, but I don't think it's the fact everyone is making it out to be.
* The MyBlogLog revolution has taken hold! Come join me and my fellow bloggers at TheMadHat Community! I thought this was a great idea when I first came across it. It's great for bloggers because it caters to our never-ending ego and it gives us a good feeling when people are visiting. It's more than "72 visitors from Google". It's DigitalGhost came to visit today! Hopefully he read something he liked and didn't just come around because I commented on his blog. I've added the widget to mine, get with the program and add it to yours.
* One of my favorite bloggers is Darren Rowse, creator of ProBlogger.net. He has some of the best advice you can find in the world of blogging. This post, however, comes from one of his guest bloggers. Tony Hung writes about how to market your blog and it's worth a bookmark. ShoeMoney will have Darren on the next Net Income radio show on Webmaster Radio so shut up and listen to it.
* Danny Sullivan has a good post on the age old debate on how SEO is for simple folk. Again I'm going with the move along, nothing to see here statement. 99% or so of the online world doesn't know a thing about SEO, so think what you want and wallow in the abyss.
* Finally, a shout out to all the Stuart flock….Go Hawkeyes! I know you probably don't have a clue what the hell I'm ranting about, but thanks for visiting anyway. Good luck against Minnesota and Indiana. Nate…remember the dancing elf? I could make you pay. Remember that.
Everyone have a good weekend, get off the damn computer and go do something!

The Philosophy of 3 AM
(translated by Milosz and Scott)
"A serious, honest mind understands—and can understand—nothing of history. History in return is marvelously suited to delight an erudite cynic," E.M. Cioran wrote.2 This would not be quite true of Herbert, who has a novelist's interest in character. Even his darkest poems tend to be humorous and compassionate. He speaks of wanting to understand Pascal's night, the prophets' melancholy, the wrath of Achilles, the fury of mass murderers, the dreams of Mary Stuart, the fear of Neanderthals, the last Aztec's despair, Nietzsche's long dying, and the Lascaux painters' joy. How different human types make sense of their world, the kind of language they use, and the sort of things they believe are what fascinates him. If they are no better than Caligula or some village idiot, so be it. He lets them have their say:
The tsar our little father had grown old, very old. Now he could not even strangle a dove with his own hands. Sitting on his throne he was golden and frigid. Only his beard grew, down to the floor and farther. Then someone else ruled, it was not known who. Curious folk peeped into the palace through the windows but Krivonosov screened the windows with gibbets. Thus only the hanged saw anything.
In the end the tsar our little father died for good. The bells rang and rang, yet they did not bring his body out. Our tsar had grown into the throne. The legs of the throne had become all mixed up with the legs of the tsar. His arm and the armrest were one. It was impossible to tear him loose. And to bury the tsar along with the golden throne—what a shame.
(translated by Milosz and Scott)
One of the favorite strategies of Herbert is what Baranczak calls "unmasking," the unveiling of the true face of some object or idea which up to that moment had been concealed by its false appearance. A clock, for example, may appear as the placid face of a miller, full and shiny as an apple with one dark hair creeping across it, when, in fact, if you were to look inside, you would discover a nest of worms or the bowels of an anthill. Although Herbert's intentions are often satirical, his way of defamiliarizing the familiar reminds me of folk humor. It's the same free play of the imagination and jocularity one encounters in fairy tales, riddles, and creation myths, which thrive on making the familiar strange. These two prose poems show how such unmasking works:
I don't understand how you can write poems about the moon. It's fat and slovenly. It picks the noses of chimneys. Its favorite thing to do is climb under the bed and sniff at your shoes.
(translated by Alissa Valles)
The hen is the best example of what living constantly with humans leads to. She has completely lost the lightness and grace of a bird. Her tail sticks up over her protruding rump like a too large hat in bad taste. Her rare moments of ecstasy, when she stands on one leg and glues up her round eyes with filmy eyelids, are stunningly disgusting. And in addition, that parody of song, throat-slashed supplication over a thing unutterably comic: a round, white, maculated egg.
The hen brings to mind certain poets.
(translated by Milosz and Scott)
Herbert used this same approach in a variety of poems. In "Rosy Ear," a man living with the same woman for many years, believing he knows her well, notices one winter night as she sits down beside him a rosy ear he never noticed before, all because of the way the lamplight happens to fall. He says nothing to her, since that little discovery has turned her into a mysterious being. Only much later, when they are in bed together, does he lean over and take a delicate nibble of that exotic ear. Another poem, "What Mr Cogito Thinks of Hell," debunks the popular opinion that hell is populated by despots, matricides, those who lust after the flesh of others, and so forth. Actually, it is a bit like Yaddo and the MacDowell Colony, for Beelzebub is a lover of the arts who boasts that his choirs, poets, and painters nearly equal those in heaven. Not that there's much singing and rejoicing these days in the angelic realm, as one can see from this next poem:
In paradise the work week is fixed at thirty hours
salaries are higher prices steadily go down
manual labour is not tiring (because of reduced gravity)
chopping wood is no harder than typing
the social system is stable and the rulers are wise
really in paradise one is better off than in whatever country
At first it was to have been different
luminous circles choirs and degrees of abstraction
but they were not able to separate exactly
the soul from the flesh and so it would come here
with a drop of fat a thread of muscle
it was necessary to face the consequences
to mix a grain of the absolute with a grain of clay
one more departure from doctrine the last departure
only John foresaw it: you will be resurrected in the flesh
not many behold God
he is only for those of 100 per cent pneuma
the rest listen to communiqués about miracles and floods
some day God will be seen by all
when it will happen nobody knows
As it is now every Saturday at noon
sirens sweetly bellow
and from the factories go the heavenly proletarians
awkwardly under their arms they carry their wings like violins
(translated by Milosz and Scott)
This paradise has clearly been contaminated by socialist ideas. The heavenly workers appear to be unionized. Herbert is amused by the mental debility that goes into imagining a paradise or a utopia that requires us to overlook our psychological makeup. He tells us in another poem that from infancy, immortality induced in him a state of tremendum. Envy the gods for what? he asks. Botched management? In his view, the universe may be perfect, but unlivable. Even if he were in heaven, he writes elsewhere, he would refuse to part with his humanity and would defend to the end his very own unique and splendid sensation of pain. As far as Herbert is concerned, the beauty of what is transient suffices.
Herbert's poetry is a dramatization of our irresolvable contradictions. We live between a cloud and a mud puddle, he says. Inheritors of many different traditions and ideas, both religious and secular, familiar with death and suffering, unsure as we grow older whether fate or chance rules our lives, we find ourselves, if we are prone to think about such things, in constant conflict with ourselves. As he says in "Report from Paradise," it was necessary to face the consequences and mix a grain of the absolute with a grain of clay. When it comes to making a choice, Herbert's sympathies are with both, although he never forgets that most of our troubles come from dreamers, unworldly idealists, and tragic heroes, and far less from practical men:
Now that we're alone we can talk prince man to man
though you lie on the stairs and see no more than a dead ant
nothing but black sun with broken rays
I could never think of your hands without smiling
and now that they lie on the stone like fallen nests
they are as defenseless as before The end is exactly this
The hands lie apart The sword lies apart The head apart
and the knight's feet in soft slippers
You will have a soldier's funeral without having been a soldier
the only ritual I am acquainted with a little
there will be no candles no singing only cannon-fuses and bursts
crepe dragged on the pavement helmets boots artillery horses drums drums I know nothing exquisite
those will be my manoeuvres before I start to rule
one has to take the city by the neck and shake it a bit
Anyhow you had to perish Hamlet you were not for life
you believed in crystal notions not in human clay
always twitching as if asleep you hunted chimeras
wolfishly you crunched the air only to vomit
you knew no human thing you did not know even how to breathe
Now you have peace Hamlet you accomplished what you had to
and you have peace The rest is not silence but belongs to me
you chose the easier part an elegant thrust
but what is heroic death compared with eternal watching
with a cold apple in one's hand on a narrow chair
with a view of the ant-hill and the clock's dial
Adieu prince I have tasks a sewer project
and a decree on prostitutes and beggars
I must also elaborate a better system of prisons
since as you justly said Denmark is a prison
I go to my affairs This night is born
a star named Hamlet We shall never meet
what I shall leave will not be worth a tragedy
It is not for us to greet each other or bid farewell we live on archipelagos
and that water these words what can they do what can they do prince
(translated by Milosz and Scott)
Beginning in 1958, when he received his first travel grant from the Polish Ministry of Culture, Herbert spent many years living abroad. He traveled widely, visiting England, Italy, Holland, Greece, and other countries; lived in Paris, Berlin, and Los Angeles. The publication of Selected Poems brought him fame. He was elected a member of the German Academy of Arts, received several prestigious international literary awards, including the Jerusalem Prize, worked in theater and as an editor, and wrote two books of essays, Barbarian in the Garden (1962) and Still Life with a Bridle (1993). In 1974, Herbert published Mr. Cogito, a book of poems in which a persona by that name first appears. Mr. Cogito either speaks of himself or he is spoken of by someone else. Each poem is like a little biographical sketch, a little meditation on the character of Herbert's hero. Mr. Cogito studies his face in the mirror, examines his two legs, reads the newspaper, considers returning to his native town, bemoans the pettiness of dreams, mulls over the aesthetics of noise at a pop concert, tells of the temptation of Spinoza, observes a deceased friend, reflects on redemption, thinks of hell, contemplates the ideas of the abyss, alienation, or the possibility of pure thought, and many other such things.
The persona of Mr. Cogito allowed Herbert to write about himself, to express his opinions on a wide range of subjects while at the same time treating himself as a fictional character. He continued to write poems in his earlier manner about Prometheus, Beethoven, Isadora Duncan, Lev Tolstoy, and other subjects, concurrently with those about Mr. Cogito. The whole sequence brings to mind Villon's "Testament," another poem taking stock of one's life and jokingly bequeathing to posterity the bits of wisdom one has accumulated. "Writing," Herbert said in an interview, "must teach men soberness: to be awake."3 Even with all the fun, there's a didactic side to these poems. They teach how to face existence with fortitude:
All attempts to avert
the so-called cup of bitterness—
by mental effort
frenzied campaigns on behalf of stray cats
breathing exercises
let you down
you have to consent
gently bow your head
not wring your hands
use suffering mildly with moderation
like a prosthetic limb
without false shame
but without pride also
don't brandish your stump
over other people's heads
don't knock your white cane
on the panes of the well-fed
drink an extract of bitter herbs
but not to the dregs
be careful to leave
a few gulps for the future
accept it
but at the same time
isolate it in yourself
and if it is possible
make from the stuff of suffering
a thing or a person
with it
of course
joke around with it
very solicitously
as with a sick child
cajoling in the end
with silly tricks
a wan
(translated by Valles)
In 1992, seriously ill and living in great poverty in Paris, Herbert was forced to return to Warsaw. Back in Poland, he managed to anger many by giving a series of interviews in which he criticized the presence of former Communists in public life and the effects of fifty years of totalitarianism on Polish society and its morality. He didn't spare even his old friends Czeslaw Milosz and Adam Michnik, both of whom he accused of lacking intellectual honesty, and a few even worse things. Herbert, who fought with the Home Army during the war, could never forgive that their struggle, as well as their Warsaw uprising in August of 1944, in which so many died, continued to be described as futile and politically erroneous by some literati. At the end of his life, Herbert once again found himself alone, ostracized, and at odds with most Polish writers and intellectuals. Given his proclivity for always saying things no one wanted to hear, he acted in character. He said not too long before his death:
Life is like knitting: one has to attach the old thread to the new. Before we descend to the grave, the garment should be fit to wear. One has to know what kind of garment it is, which parts of it are poorly made and which are of better quality. It is important to realize that about one's own life, and also about the life of that nation or society in which one's private life was spent.4

bucky November 21, 2012
What a waste of 26 minutes. Boring. Total waste of a beautiful HOT girl. Those guys sure didn't know how to please her, couldn't even get their cocks hard for her. They were more interested in kissing each other, that is a turn off for me, like to see them fuck and suck, but not kissing. Best part is when she put on the strap on, that guy didn't even know how to ride her with that. She can fuck my ass and mouth anytime. The guys were good looking, but they were relyking on thier looks, and thought they were cool with the sunglasses thing. Like to see girl with me and another guy that can get it up and keep it up. She could keep me hard I know that.
nono May 27, 2013
you and me would do better keeping each other hard for the girl

Ian MacKaye
Born Ian Thomas Garner MacKaye on April 16, 1962. He is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and producer. He has been part of the bands Teen Idles (1979-1980), Minor Threat (1980-1983) and Embrace (1985-1986) and is currently part of Fugazi (since 1987) and The Evens (since 2001).
As a teenager, he founded the independent record label Dischord Records, together with Jeff Nelson. They initially intended to simply release a single for their band Teen Idles, but the label has gone on to release music from more than 60 bands.
He wrote the Minor Threat's song Straight Edge, which coined the term "straight edge" and became the inspiration of the straight edge movement. People who consider themselves "straight edge" don't use alcohol, tobacco or other recreational drugs. Some also include not using caffeine or prescription drugs, not engaging in promiscuous sex or following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Ian has said that he never anticipated "straight edge" to turn into a movement. For him it is simply about living cleanly and deliberately, nothing more, nothing less. He is part of the movie Edge perspectives on drug free culture.
Quotes by Ian MacKaye:
Quotes are from his 2006 interview with Satya, his 2010 clip Edge the movie and his 2009 interview with Rock Proper.

It's about training monsters and battling other monsters in arenas. To get some of the monsters, you can buy basic ones in the market, combine them, but for what the game is really known for, is pulling them off other random PS2 games. When you put in a PS2 game to get a monster from, it generates a monster for that disk and sticks with it. You can also combine monsters as well.

Ah, pets. They give us affection, companionship -- and possible exposure to all kinds of diseases. But before you load up on hand sanitizer, know this: The probability of catching any of these diseases is low, so long as you follow good hygiene, use common sense when handling your pet, and understand how you'd contract these illnesses in the first place. Here's a crash course on the most common ones.
Cat scratch fever
How you can get it: Fleas transmit the disease to cats, which in turn infect us through a scratch or bite.
Signs your pet has it: fever, headache, fatigue, poor appetite, swollen lymph glands
Ways to prevent it: Use veterinarian-approved flea control year-round to keep the bugs away. If your cat bites or scratches you, thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water and finish with an antibiotic ointment, like Neosporin.
Hookworms and roundworms
How you can get it: These intestinal parasites can infect people who are exposed to contaminated soil. Larvae enter through the mouth (dogs or children eating dirt) or through the skin (walking barefoot).
Signs your pet has it: Hookworms cause abdominal discomfort and painful, itchy skin (larvae wander aimlessly beneath the skin -- ick!). There are few symptoms with roundworms -- many patients are diagnosed accidentally.
Ways to prevent it: If you suspect your dog or cat has worms, schedule a visit with your vet. He or she can figure out exactly what type of worm your pet has. Otherwise, practice good hygiene and periodically look for worms in the stool.
Lyme disease
How you can get it: This autoimmune disease is transmitted to people through the bite of the black-legged tick, also called a deer tick.
Signs your pet has it: Fever, headache, fatigue, joint pain, "bull's-eye"-shaped rash at bite site. If untreated, chronic joint, nerve and heart inflammation, mental changes and pain may develop.
Ways to prevent it: Use veterinarian-approved tick preventive on pets and insect repellant with DEET on yourself. When you're walking in wooded or grassy areas, where deer ticks thrive, cover up with long pants, long sleeves, closed-toe shoes and socks. If you spot a tick on you or your pet, carefully remove it with tweezers.
Psittacosis (Parrot Fever)
How you can get it: Inhaling the droppings of an infected bird is the most common way this disease is passed on to humans.
Signs your pet has it: Not many -- birds don't usually exhibit symptoms.
Ways to prevent it: Change the paper in your bird's cage daily, and wash the cage regularly with disinfectant. Also, steer clear of birds with any eye or nasal discharge, diarrhea or a low body weight.
How you can get it: We develop rabies through bite wounds from an infected animal. Raccoons, skunks, foxes and bats are most likely to harbor this disease, but any mammal can transmit it.
Signs your pet has it: headache, fever, confusion, agitation or sleepiness
Ways to prevent it: The biggest thing you can do is vaccinate your pets against rabies. If you're bitten by an unvaccinated animal you suspect has rabies, thoroughly wash the wounds and call your doctor -- stat. Then contact animal control -- they'll need to capture animal for testing and observation.
How you can get it: Not a worm, this fungal skin infection is passed on to us through direct contact with infected animals.
Signs your pet has it: Ring-shaped, crusty skin rash with hair loss and dry, cracked or brittle nails
Ways to prevent it: The easiest thing to do is just avoid direct contact with any people or pets you think could be infected. If someone in your house has ringworm, wash their bedding and clothes daily to keep it from spreading.
How you can get it: This infection is caused by eating or handling contaminated food and/or contact with infected animals such as chicks, ducklings, reptiles and amphibians. Dogs, cats and birds also carry Salmonella.
Signs your pet has it: stomach pain, diarrhea and fever
Ways to prevent it: You're probably already doing this, but always wash your hands after you come in contact with animal feces or water from an aquarium. Also, keep reptiles and amphibians out of your house if you live with kids under 5 or people with weakened immune systems.
How you can get it: Most human tapeworm infections come from eating contaminated meats, but kids usually pick up tapeworms from dogs and cats if they swallow a flea that's infected with tapeworm larvae.
Signs your pet has it: Tapeworm segments that look like grains of rice may appear in the stool or around the anus.
Ways to prevent it: Use your vet-approved flea control medication. If you think your pet has tapeworms, schedule an appointment with your vet. If you're worried you have it, consult your doctor.
How you can get it: Toxoplasmosis is passed to people through contact with contaminated cat feces, often through litter boxes or contaminated soil, or by eating undercooked meat, especially pork, lamb or deer. It can have serious consequences for pregnant women, so if you're expecting, let your partner handle litter box duties.
Signs your pet has it: Most cats become immune to toxoplasmosis as soon as they're exposed to the parasite. If yours isn't, look for mild diarrhea and a loss of appetite.
Ways to prevent it: Wash your hands thoroughly after any contact with cat feces or soil you think could be contaminated.

VESTAL, N.Y. -- Nearly 50 cats are recovering after being rescued from a home in Vestal.
Investigators say Mary Herko-Daniels, 59, moved from her home on Lincoln Drive in October and left dozens of cats behind. Many of the cats were malnourished and in need of medical attention. Officials at the Humane Society say they are feeding and socializing the cats. The animals are also being provided with veterinary care. However, the number of cats has put a strain on the Humane Society's resources.
"We now have a full house so for the other strays in the community we kinda have to wait to bring them in until we can filter these through the system, we have depleted some of our supply of canned cat food if anyone is willing to donate, we're looking for canned cat food for the cats, it just kinda puts a strain on it because we have so much at once," said Karen Matson, Broome County Humane Society Executive Director.
The cats will be available for adoption once they have recovered.
Mary Herko-Daniels is facing one charge of abandonment and one charge of failing to provide proper sustenance.

Silver Screen Apartments
Stylish lofts and penthouses from blockbuster films
By Blaire Briody
What Women Want
When it comes to decked-out bachelor pads, not many can beat the swank apartment that belongs to Nick Marshall (Mel Gibson) in What Women Want. The expansive studio has a wall of windows facing the Chicago skyline. The blue and cream furnishings keep the look classic, masculine, and surprisingly chic—it's almost as though the designer could read the minds of both men and women.

This is not the best MAC eye shadow but it's nice to coat over other gold eye shadows. It makes it more shiny and pretty.
I wouldn't wear this shadow by itself but blending with others makes it really pretty!

This color is very unique. It's not really gold but more of a lighter iridescent yellow/green color. It sounds gross but it reminds me of the color some insects have on their backs so it changes color in the light. very pretty and great for summer. I usually pair it with other greens or browns but it would look good with many other colors as well. If I wear it I usually put it close to my upper lash line and middle of eye lid with a darker crease color like mac soba or stila's golightly eye shadow. If I want a glowy green color I put gorgeous gold on first then mac lucky green on top of it. Don't buy this because you are looking for a true gold, buy this if you want something unique and beautiful that's more of a pale yellow color.

:( This was one of my first MAC shadows I ever brought and I gotta honestly say...not too impressed, my Wet n Wild shadows are better, sorry Mac snobs but its true, lol. GG kinda ruined Mac for me. I really love the interesting color, a yellow gold with a green shimmer undertone, unique and pretty. However used with a base/primer and it creased like all hell! Never had a shadow crease as bad as this one. I'm gonna try some different ways of wearing it to make it work and hopefully not crease, I heard the creasing has something to do with the finish, I will not repurchase since so much is packed into the pan that I probably won't hit, but will recommend to anyone with dry skin/eyelids or that don't usually have problems with creasing.

This is a nice, pigmented eyeshadow, but comes off more yellow than gold on my lids. I tend to use this as a subtle blending color, or whenever I feel like having a splash of yellow. I would repurchase if I was looking for a wearable yellow, but not if I was looking for a true gold. If you are looking for a true gold, I would try MAC's goldmine.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Warm Hair: Blond, Fine Eyes: Blue
Greenish gold shimmer thats best on cool skintones. Because of the green tinge it has a tendency to highlight any redness in your skin or eyes (green being opposite to red on the colorwheel). So if you have warm toned skin, sunburn, a tend to flush, have rosacea or red veins on cheeks, or have red veins in your eyes I'd say maybe avoid this shade and try goldenrod or something else instead. I am warm and also very pale so Gorgeous Gold is a very intense shade for me that didn't look right. But I was determined to make it work because MAC shadows are nearly NZ $40 here (around US $35). Well, I found it works if I apply it wet and sheer it out - this way it makes a great highlighter worn with either taupes, cool soft browns or cool purples like Beautiful Iris ( veluxe pearl) in the crease. Applying it wet also solves the fallout issue with this one. If at first you get fallout or this shade doesn't work for you, try applying it wet and/or sheer!

This goes on my skin as a yellow greenish color but i still love the color because its different i think this would go well with green eyeshadow and teal colors as well =)

I wanted to get Goldmine but the MAC store only had this color in the gold group. I was like, what the heck it's still gold. I read the review after the purchase and they made me nervous because of the common comment on the unexpected yellow-green appearance. However when I tried it, I was relieved it looks great. It goes well with other colors like warm greens, neutral browns as well as purples depending on the hue. As beautiful as it is, I most probably won't repurchase until I've tried out and gone through other golds that MAC has to offer.

This is great! I have very oily lids, and have to use a primer, such as UDPP, or MAC Paint, to make any shadow last, even so, most shadows crease inside two hours. Not Mac. With primer, this shadow lasts, and the color stays true. The texture is smooth, easy to apply, and has great pigmentation. The finish (veluxe pearl) is shimmery and soft. This color is a green-tinted slightly shimmery gold, and it compliments other colors well.

Thanks MUA for the awesome recommendation and great reviews on this eyeshadow as I would have never purchased it otherwise. Like other reviewers have mentioned the texture is fantastic, smooth buttery and creamy with great pigmentation. I love the greenish iridescence this shadow has as it enhances my eyes. This shadow pairs wonderfully with many other shades including greens, purples, browns, and taupes. I love experimenting with this and it has become a favourite I reach for quite often.

The message on the school marquee in front of North Highlands Elementary reads "A good place to be." Second year Principal Derek Morgan wants North Highlands' parents and community to know he welcomes them to be involved in the education of the students there. Morgan is "excited and elated" at the school system's attempt to increase parental involvement. He feels it will only make the existing level of involvement at North Highlands even stronger.
"Getting the support of parents and guardians is something we do already," Morgan said. "We have done it before the Parental Involvement Project and will continue to do it absent of any mandate. It is an existing component of our school improvement plan."
Part of Morgan's administrative philosophy is to involve parents, families, and guardians, as well as area businesses, in the educational experience of North Highland's students. In fact, he insists upon it. He expects the legal guardian of each of his 386 students to volunteer at the school for one hour each week but admits there are many who don't. He says 40% of the parents can be counted on to get involved when needed.
Morgan's goal for the Parental Involvement Project at North Highlands is to "change the perception that public school parents don't care." He wants the Back to School Committee at North Highlands to "make a significant impact" on the parents and guardians who do not participate in their child's education and he knows who he needs to reach.
Morgan keeps a Student Assignment/Achievement Card on every student. On each card he not only tracks student's progress in subjects like math, reading, and language arts, but also rates parental and family involvement. Four categories, "Very involved," "Often involved," "Involved when needed," and "Never involved" indicate the level of participation from home. Morgan has a number of students who are succeeding despite no parental involvement, but has stacks of cards indicating high levels of student achievement with parents and families who volunteer and participate at the school.
Morgan also has a "Parent Concern Book" he shares with every family at the start of the school year detailing his expectations from them. He also has "Parent Concern Forms" available for families to detail their questions so every concern will be addressed.
North Highlands also has a full-time parental liaison on staff. Esclamonda Fisher is beginning her seventh year at the school. Morgan describes her as "an invaluable asset." "She is the vital link between families and the school" Morgan said. Fisher makes home visits on a regular basis for a variety of reasons but mainly to "keep families involved and informed about their child's education and make sure no student falls through the cracks." "Fisher's presence on campus and in the community has enhanced the overall administrative productivity and efficiency," Morgan said.
Morgan is confident the Parental Involvement Project at North Highlands will be a success, although system-wide implementation is a bigger challenge. "We all need to stop saying public education won't work. People need to stop saying 'I can't' and start saying 'I can.' When you change the way people think, you can change their behavior," Morgan said. "This is already working at North Highlands, so it can work everywhere. We all just need to get out there and do it."

Relay team information
The relay is self managed. That means that Runner 1 will ride the bus to the start. Runner 2 will drive his/her own car to the relay exchange zone. Runner 2 has the option of driving to the start, watching that, watching his/her runner go through aid stations 1 and 2 and then going to the relay exchange zone.
Changes for the 2013 race include:
– Aid Station 3 will now be manned
– A seventh Aid Station will be added
– What is now AS 6 will be relocated to near its original (2010) location at the newly constructed Zumbrun Overlook.
– Other changes to be announced later.
FLINTSTONE, Md., Oct. 26, 2014 — Entry for the third annual Fire on the Mountain 50K will open June 1
What: Fire on the Mountain 50K point-to-point trail run and 2-person relay
When: Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014 (snow/ice date of Nov. 2)
Where: Green Ridge State Forest, in eastern Allegany County, Md. (about 80 minutes from the start line of the JFK).
What else: This 5th annual event, staged by the Potomac Highlands Distance Club, is a point-to-point trail 32-mile trail run inside one of the east coast's hidden treasures. Located about 10 minutes west of Hancock, Md., participants park at the finish line, catch the bus and run from the start (Point Lookout, in Little Orleans) back to the finish — only, not exactly in a straight line.
Shirts: We've had issues dealing with shirts in the past (though not in 2012 or 2013). So here's what seems to have worked:
This year, those who pre-register (on or before about Oct. 8) and order a shirt will be guaranteed that shirt IF the runner (or friend) picks it up before or on race day. If the shirt is not picked up, it will not be mailed (even if you offer to pay for shipping). We simply don't have the time. We also won't guarantee the shirt will be waiting for you on race day 2013.
If you do not order a T-shirt at time of registration, there could be a shirt available for you on race day (if there are shirts that are not claimed by the end of the race). In addition, we are willing to place a re-order of shirts. However, the cost will increase to $25 (from $18) to cover increased costs of a smaller order (and re-shipping to you, the runner).
Under no circumstances will there will be refunds of shirt money.
Refunds on entry fees: There will be no refunds on entry fees. In 2011, a freak snowstorm caused the postponement of the race due to unsafe, icy conditions. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy threatened (but did not impact) the event. We can not offer refunds – generally, the money is spent on an as-needed basis well before event day, in preparation for the race and all participants.
We will continue to consider deferments on a case-by-case basis. The goal is to keep it to a minimum. Hopefully we won't have to begin asking for documentation. Questions? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Spectator information
Last year, for the first time, we had spectators park in areas that were not designated as spectator parking. One driver, instead of obeying to the rules and adhering to the race director's request to move the vehicle, asked "why" when asked to move the vehicle WHILE THE PERSON WAS PARKED ON THE COURSE. The first runner came through the area without the issue resolved, which put the runner at risk. This was completely unnecessary.
This year, we will be strictly enforcing spectator-related rules. If the spectator does not comply with the first request of an event staff or volunteer (and/or common sense), the runner the spectator is following risks disqualification. It's a safety issue, folks; one I never thought I'd see come up on what could very much be a spectator-friendly course.
This year, spectators are allowed at the start (but no parking on Carroll Road), Aid Station 4, Aid Station 5 and the finish line. There is simply not enough room at Aid Station 2 to allow parking.
Spectators – some of you offered, in the days before the race, to volunteer and follow your runner through the race. This is not only permitted (limited to a certain number of people) but encouraged — and we are grateful for your help. Contact the RD at email@example.com if you're interested in being a part-time event volunteer.
Gels: We won't supply them on the race course any longer. Bring your own; put some extras in your drop bag that you have access to at mile 16. You'll be good to go with the flavor(s) you want.
Deferments: Beginning Oct. 28, 2013 forward for future FOTM events, no deferments except for military deployment (PCS/ETS/leave not included).

Changing to a non-nursing career? - page 3
Hello!! I was wondering if I am alone in what I have done? I have been an RN since 1991. I have worked in Nursing homes and Home Health moslty, with some time in Cardiac Rehab and with mentally handicapped. This year as... Read More
- 5Aug 12, '12 by kcmylornI too am on the constant look out for a non nursing position because I to am tired of the treatment we older experienced nurses are receiving at the hands of these clinical employers. The disrespect, the pure selfishness, the stress and health issues this kind of treatment brings on is not worth it.
Being a older nurse with 32 yrs of experience dooms one into one continous temp/time limiting job after another for all the worn out posted reasons here on AN. The stints on unemployment between these positions are emotionally and financially draining. One just gets out of the financial abyss when the position ends and it is followed by a 1 1/2-2 month stint on unemployment again and it's start all over again.
The discriminatory practices in nursing is rampant. Especially the ageism. If a nurse speaks out or reports on any kind of discrimination at their workplace, they are retailated against and terminated. Retaliation is another reportable offense and in other industries it brings big paydaysin the form of lawsuits. In nursing it is swept under the rug. No Nursing power house seems to moving in any direction to purge the profession of these practices. The metro areas of the country are the worst offenders.
I would love to get in a financial position where I could get a position in an legal office or a any business office non nursing related such as a home improvement store, any where, just to see if this kind of behavior goes on there.
It has left me unenthusiatic toward nursing. Not the expectation of nursing academia's whitepapers (related to older experienced nurses being kept in the profession) they planned on. And to that end I know i am not alone.
- 2Aug 14, '12 by passionflowerYou took the words right out of my mouth. I have been brainstorming and am even forming a group that encourages each other about ways to strengthen ourselves and move on from our nursing jobs. For the most part it seems that hospital nurses are THE MOST unhappy of all the nurses. One good thing about nursing is the alternatives you have to move around to different areas whereas if you were an accountant, well you would be accounting somewhere. Let me know if you come up with a better alternative.
- 2Aug 25, '12 by cantdoitI hope to change to a non-nursing job someday soon. Or at least a non-hospital nursing job. I haven't even been doing this very long, but I know its not for me. I've even found myself daydreaming about my old crappy retail/restaurant jobs lately. I wish I'd listened to those voices in my head telling me it wasn't a good fit during school, but practicality won out I guess.
- 0Jan 22, '13 by nervousnurseI posted something very similar recently (on the general nursing board), and I see this thread hasn't had any replies in 5 months, but would love to hear more people's experiences!
- 5Jan 28, '13 by mtngrlI am still browsing the classifieds daily but have not found anything I would apply to yet. I hate feeling so trapped in nursing. I have some small debts to pay off and I feel like I can't even quit until I get that done. So you can believe I am living as thrifty as possible and making the biggest payments I can so that I won't feel so financially strapped when I do finally leave. Even in case management there is still huge liability which is one reason I hate nursing. And the workload is enormous. It's the last area I thought I would try before I would be totally done with this career. I don't handle stress well and I also think about my job and the situations at it like 24/7 including my days off! I can never enjoy time away from work because I take it with me everywhere. I really have NO idea what kind of job I will end up with one day!
- 3Feb 19, '13 by olive11I'm glad to have found this conversation stream. I'm an LVN with 18 yrs experience and a bachelor degree in a non-nursing field. I had hoped my degree would help me find something I enjoyed AND good to very good pay as well. The harsh reality for me is that the nursing background actually held me back in moving into a different career field. Potential employers saw it and decided I wouldn't be a good fit because my scope of experience seemed so narrow. I'm now working in a nursing position, office based in a cubicle with a headset 8 hours a day, Mon-Fri, day shift. I make good money ($42K + benefits) but at a cost to my personal satisfaction.
A friend linked me up with a professional resume writer who revamped my resume to highlight my strengths - we all have them as nurses - while still including the clinical aspect. Things like organizational skills, leadership, supervisory and case management skills and even educational experience. When you think about it, we have all those skills and experiences that we utilize on a daily basis as a successful nurse. I'm looking at moving more towards education for adults as my future goal. I'm already 40 which may seem to be late in the game but these days with people working until their 80's, I think I'm doing pretty good and not overly concerned about the age thing. Especially since my past experience coupled with learning new skills (computer and technology focused) can help me to land a job that will fit most, if not all, of my needs AND wants for a career.
FYI: most public libraries offer FREE training in Excel, Word, and basic computer usage which are a must for employment now. For those of you lacking in those skills, I strongly recommend getting them. Also, sit down and write down your strengths and interests ex: organizing, research, creative writing, etc including hobbies you enjoy so you can get a good idea of what it is you'd like to do. With the help of the resume writer and some introspection and prayer, I feel ready to move into something that will make me happy and provide me with a cash positive life. Best of luck to you all!
- 1Feb 20, '13 by rnixon77I feel some of where you sound like you are coming from. I am in dispair over the sweeping under the rug of certain things in nursing. What is harder is when the unemployment is denied and with 7 kids to support through the fiscal cliff, I just don't know how we are going to make it. I am fed up with medical-surgical specialty rehabilitation and long-term care (I still love geriatrics, I just can't do it anymore). I feel sorry for the nurses who have been working all their lives and still get treated undesirably by administration. I think of all of the patients and their families you have helped, and my heart goes out to you for the endurance and self-torture. Not to mention social torture. I've missed out on so much time with my kids, and have lived in poverty with my wages as an RN between 20-23$ per hour (I really thought these stories are from the dark ages of nursing), and getting reprimanded for overtime. I am hoping something will renew my passion for working as a skilled nurse. It was the hardest thing I have ever done for me to go through the nursing program with all the kids while working for very poor wages. I am going through vocational rehabilitation to try to get help with legal nurse consultant certification, now that I have no hearing in my right ear from mastoiditis. I was fired from my job, it is the most embarassing thing I have gone through. I have a hard core work ethic, one that can drive me for 12 hours back to back, but I can't do that to myself. I enjoyed your posting. I hope you find something you like.
-R.Nixon, RN (Nurse becca)
- 1Feb 20, '13 by RntrWould you mind sending me the name of the person that worked on your resume" as I too am looking for a professional remake of my resume' which is extensive. Thanks
Appreciate the help.
- 0Feb 28, '13 by kayak007To mtngrl: I know you don't like it...but renew your license...I don't like insurance...but I keep renewing my license....I used to be a teacher, and the only license I have now is my NJ license which I received before No Child Left Behind went into effect...so it will not expire. I am not a nurse. I have tried countless of times to be a nurse...I now do not really want to be a nurse (and this is a separate story which I do not have time to type that has all the good elements of a Cloak and Dagger story). There is nothing about nursing schools that I trust, anymore....thanks for the insight. Cover your bottom, mtngrl, its rough out there, even outside of nursing.
- 1May 9, '13 by mtngrlWell I went and got a new job....but yup, it's still an RN job lol. Will continue in case management. Maybe I will like this one better. I always say I am going to leave and then take another RN job. That darn money! Gotta have it.
My dream job is to work in a campground. Think I have to save a LOT before I could ever do that lol lol lol.

Cliche and cataclysm
Whenever California burns or shakes or collapses in mudslides, a cavalcade of familiar noir-isms comes along for the ride. Social critics wax nihilistic about impermanence as a permanent state of mind. Inevitably, Joan Didion quotes blow in like the Santa Anas themselves, offering up heavy doses of the line about the winds forcing an acceptance of "a deeply mechanistic view of human behavior." Inevitably, references will be made to Nathaniel West's "The Day of the Locust," to Raymond Chandler's "Red Wind," even to Steely Dan lyrics.

I like a little variety in the forecast, especially at night when temperatures cool down enough to shut off the air conditioner and open the windows. But judging from the seven-day outlook there is no end in sight for this wave of dry and hot weather. Holy Farmers Almanac! »Read Full Blog Post
