i've noticed these geckos around the house over the past few years. didn't know what species they were, but today i finally looked them up.
they're usually a light pinkish color at night. sometimes i see them during the day when pulling some weeds or watering the flower beds next to the house, and they'll be a darker brown color. they move pretty darn quick too. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/galveston/beneficials/beneficial-17_lizard_gecko.htm |

When a light is behind them, they always look like a fetus to me. I saw the first one in 1978. I pulled back the shower curtain and one jumped on my shoulder. I was screaming so much that my DH thought there was an ax murderer in the bathroom. |
Kathy, I know it wasn't funny at the time, but your experience made me laugh. Houston, thanks for the link. It was very interesting to read about them. They and the anoles are fairly new to Texas. I remember seeing the first anoles in about 1970. They might have been here before then, but I didn't see them. I enjoy having them both. Another one I see all the time has been around for a long time, a grey spiny lizard, commonly called fence lizards. |
We used to have a lot of anoles (similar to geckos, but green), but since we've cut our big tree down, don't see as many, but there are some out there, as well as in the house, and between them and the dragonflies, haven't seen a mosquito all summer, love them! |
Back in the late 50's and 60's you could buy the anoles and small red eared slider turtles at the State Fair. The anoles came with a piece of embroidery thread around their neck to make a collar and lead with a safety pin on the end, and you could pin them to your shirt or blouse. Of course, they were really good at slipping out of that little collar, so they didn't last for long. You all will think I am crazy, but where we live we didn't have anoles in the neighborhood (too many chemical users) so I went to Petco several years ago and bought, yes I said bought 3 anoles and let them go in the back yard, and now I have a nice population. I get new little ones every year. I can remember anoles in East Texas back in the 50's and 60's out at our country property, so I know they were at around back then. |

We used to have a large population of the house geckoes-- after summer 2011 we didn't see one at all until a baby this past week. |
We haven't had quite as many geckoes this year either. I thought it might be the cat. They come to the light at night and the cat is there waiting. I hate it when they don't make it all the way in when someone comes in or out of the house. Yuck. I've got a couple of flat geckoes to pry off the door frame right now. |

We have a 50's pier and beam house. They come up through the cracks. The cats have figured out the popular spots. I save as many as I can. I agree they look like fetuses with those fingers. I think we have a nice population of american anoles and the spiny lizards. The latter look like pecan tree bark then they run really fast. You can find them hiding on the wood fence next to the bougies. Nature is by nature populated with opportunists! |
Plenty of anoles but no visible geckos, although I do hear chirping, possibly a froggy. They are great but they are also followed by a curse (as far as my wife is concerned), they are snake-snacks. Our house was empty for a year before we bought it, the fire ant population was through the roof. So was the anole population, and so was the snake population. |

Mel Gibson and Antonio Banderas Join 'Expendables 3,' All Other Aging Action Stars to Follow Suit
Casting Couch By Adam Bellotto on August 9, 2013 | Be the First To CommentYou gotta hand it to Mel Gibson – he might have said horrific things about his ex-girlfriend and almost every minority under the sun, but he just keeps chugging along. The actor seems to have embraced his now-repugnant public image by taking villainous roles in both Robert Rodriguez' Machete Kills and, as was announced today, The Expendables 3. Joining the cast alongside Gibson is Antonio Banderas, who Sylvester Stallone referred to as "a consummate actor and a gentleman" in a clear shot at Bruce Willis, who reportedly dropped out because he wasn't getting paid enough. If the "old man action movie" trend is to continue (and as long as Stallone is still breathing, it probably will), at least The Expendables series understands that these movies should be big dumb tongue-in-cheek fun. And that's exactly what Expendables 3 is shaping up to be: a great big party for every action star under the sun (minus Bruce Willis) to hang out, spew one-liners, and make things explode.
Pedro Almodóvar's 'The Standby Lovers' Will Team Spanish Actors Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz For the First Time Ever
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 13, 2012 | Comments (1)Anyone who saw last year's surgical horror story, The Skin I Live In, knows that director Pedro Almodóvar can pull a first-rate performance out of Antonio Banderas, which makes sense, seeing as they've been working together for over 20 years. And anyone who has seen Almodóvar's starring vehicles for Penélope Cruz, like Volver or Broken Embraces, can give similar compliments to his relationship with that actress. Almodóvar is a filmmaker who knows how to get the best out of the people he's working with. But what he's never been able to do is direct Banderas and Cruz together in the same movie. As a matter of fact, even though they're maybe the two most famous Spanish actors of the last two decades, up until this point nobody has been able to get them both to appear in the same film. That's all set to change come Almodóvar's latest project, however. His new film is a comedy called The Standby Lovers that's about a plane full of people who reveal their most guarded secrets to one another when the aircraft starts to go down. In addition to Banderas and Cruz (whose official involvement we reported on yesterday), the film is also said to include an all-star cast of Spanish actors including Javier Cámara, Guillermo Toledo, Raúl Arévalo, Hugo Silva, Cecilia Roth, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Blanca Suárez, José María Yazik and Antonio de la Torre. That's a lot of Spanish-sounding names.
Review: 'Haywire' Is B-Level Soderbergh But It Introduces An A-Level Action Star In Gina Carano
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on January 20, 2012 | Comments (1)The absolute worst thing you could say about Steven Soderbergh's latest film is that its lead, Gina Carano, is consistently out-acted by Channing Tatum. On its surface and for obvious reasons that's a pretty damning statement. But when viewed as a whole performer instead of just an actress you quickly realize that Carano has a very particular set of other skills. Skills she has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make her a nightmare for people like Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and other male stars with recognizably pretty faces. A nightmare for them, but entertaining as hell for the rest of us.
Aural Fixation: 'Haywire' Brings the Violence, Composer David Holmes Keeps It Playful
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on January 19, 2012 | Comments (2)Audiences have been eagerly awaiting the release of soon-to-be retired (or so was once widely claimed) Steven Soderbergh's latest film, Haywire, after advanced screenings confirmed what the trailer suggested – a literally kick-ass time at the movies. Starring a Hollywood unknown, Gina Carano is known more for her mixed martial arts skills and those skills are put to the test on the big screen as she goes up against a powerful boys club comprised of the likes of Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, and Michael Fassbender. Playing a black ops solider betrayed by her company, Carano is forced to not only figure out why she was double crossed, but do so while trying to keep herself from being killed in the process (and leaving an impressive body count of her own in her wake.) Soderbergh turned to composer David Holmes to create the musical landscape for a film that is not only action-packed, but also dramatic, thrilling, emotional, even funny at times and overall – fun. But what made this film such a fun time at the movies? Many factors of course (the story, the actors, the direction), but the element that seemed to keep this idea of playfulness running throughout was provided by the score, and almost subconsciously so. Holmes is no stranger to scoring a film that flips the script every other scene and forces the audience to not only try and keep up with the action, but unravel the truth behind the story as well. He […]
AFI FEST Review: Standard Double-Crosser 'Haywire' Sparked by Soderbergh Style
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on November 7, 2011 | Be the First To CommentMoving away from the feature-length hand sanitizer commercial that was this year's Contagion, director Steven Soderbergh returns to the screen with another one of his trademark all-star cast outings, but one with significantly more ass-kicking delivered at the hands (and feet) of a particularly-picked leading lady. In Haywire, Soderbergh lets loose cinematic newcomer Gina Carano, a real-life MMA fighter who can more than hold her own with the boys club that rounds out the film's cast (including Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, and Bill Paxton). Packaged as a double-crossing spy thriller, Haywire is big on impressive and crowd-pleasing fight scenes, but the film fizzles when it comes to delivering a particularly clever story for all those flying fists to play out against. The meat of Haywire's plot is just a standard double-cross story that's pumped up with the sort of stylistic flash and flair that Soderbergh can deliver handily. Carano plays a highly skilled ex-Marine who now works in the "private sector" on black ops jobs that involves messy endeavors like extraction and assassination. Carano's Mallory Kane is very good at her job, good enough that she's often a special request (an "essential element") for a number of her company's various contracts, a fact that irks her boss and ex-flame Kenneth (McGregor). Mallory is dispatched for an extraction job in Barcelona that goes well enough, but her performance there directly leads into her next job, a gig that's ostensibly presented as glorified babysitting, done in […]
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: October 28, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on October 28, 2011 | Comments (4)This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr puts on some 3D glasses to look at some puss… in boots, that is. He proceeds to rewrite fairy tale fiction to include more bodily function humor, an egg-shaped Zach Galifianakis and a hairy but still sexy Salma Hayek. Then, he heads to the reference department of his local library to discover who really wrote the complete works of William Shakespeare. When all signs point to Neil Miller as the real author, Kevin gives up, realizing he's out of time. So he brings sexy back and heads out to kidnap Amanda Seyfried so he can occupy Hollywood and start a revolution together… or get arrested.
Aural Fixation: 'Puss In Boots' – Not Your Ordinary Dance Movie
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on October 27, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThe tale of Puss In Boots is not all swordplay and adventure-seeking, Puss is also a lover (yeah – it gets a little weird) and his boots were not just made for walking, they were made for dancing too. From the opening guitar riffs, Puss In Boots has a frenetic energy that keeps the story moving and reminds you that beyond the innuendos and back-story, Puss truly is (and will always be) an adventurer at heart. Composer Henry Jackman (Winnie The Pooh, X-Men: First Class) takes the reigns for this spin-off (the previous Shrek films having been scored by Harry Gregson-Williams) creating a Latin-infused score that also utilizes full-bodied orchestration to keep the feel and sound of a grand adventure. Jackman has created a score that is reminiscent of classic animated features with the music underscoring the action on screen. The music swells as the group takes off on a chase ("Chasing Tail") and tip toes as they are trying to sneak around undetected ("Kitty-Cat Break-Out"). But Jackman's score also feels very modern and keeps up with the 3D animation featured on screen. Puss (Antonio Banderas) is a Spaniard (naturally) and as such, the score features Latin guitars and percussion you cannot help but tap your feet to. To create the authentic Latin sound, Jackman tapped Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and their impressive guitar playing is featured on "Diablo Rojo." The music is infectious and causes you to feel torn between wanting to duel, or dance. But have […]
Review: 'Puss in Boots' Totally Reinvents the Tired Animated Fashion Plate Cat Hero Genre
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on October 27, 2011 | Comments (1)Finally, a supporting character from the Shrek franchise who earned their chops the hard way, enduring arduous animated battles and even more arduous stunt voice casting, has gotten a film of their very own, a fuzzy family affair that will make the whole brood giggle. No, sadly, it's not those adorable flying Donkey-Dragon babies (trivia! Wikipedia tells me they are named Debbie, Coco, Bananas, Peanut, Parfait, and Éclair), but it's Dreamworks's own answer to "what would Zorro be like if he was, stop me if you've heard this one before, actually a cat?" That's Puss in Boots to you, amigo. Antonio Banderas returns to the role he originated, a Zorro-meets-French-fairy-tale feline famous for stealing both bullion and babes. But what if Puss was, gasp, not a criminal at all, but a misunderstood kitty desperate to return to the mother he loves, a innocent cat framed for a crime he didn't commit, a bipedal boot-wearing bad boy who is quietly concealing a heart of gold? What if then? Well, you're about to find out.
AFI FEST 2011 Announces Pedro Almodóvar-Curated Film Retrospective; Includes 'Le Cercle Rouge,' 'Eyes Without a Face,' and 'The Killers'
AFI Fest By Kate Erbland on October 25, 2011 | Be the First To CommentFor what's looking to be the last official programming announcement from this year's AFI FEST presented by Audi, the fest has revealed their special film retrospective as curated by Guest Artistic Director Pedro Almodóvar. The filmmaker has put together a program of five films (including one of his own) to form an essential cross-section of horror films and thrillers. Almodóvar's picks include his own Law of Desire, saying that the film is "a fundamental title in my career…I don't think I'd change a single shot, and not because it's perfect but because I recognize myself in all of them…It's true that my palette has darkened and, in the case of the latest film, the humor has almost disappeared. Fortunately I've changed sufficiently so that no one can accuse me of repeating myself, but I'm still the same." The film's screening will take place on Monday, November 7, and Almodóvar and star Antonio Banderas (also the star of that "latest film" Almodóvar mentions, the magnetic The Skin I Live In) will introduce the film, and it will be followed by a "conversation" about the auteur's career. AFI FEST will run from November 3rd through the 10th in Hollywood, with all screenings taking place at The Chinese, the Chinese 6 Theatres, and the Egyptian Theatre. The best part? Tickets for all screenings are free (and available starting this Thursday, October 27). Even with parking fees in Hollywood, that's still cheaper than a movie ticket. The complete schedule grid is now online for […]
Aural Fixation: Getting Under Composer Alberto Iglesias's 'Skin'
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on October 20, 2011 | Comments (1)Creating the world of a disturbed, yet brilliant, plastic surgeon harboring more than one secret is no easy task, but director Pedro Almodóvar rises to the challenge with his beautiful and haunting film, The Skin I Live In. An equal challenge was that of creating the music for this world to keep up with the story's various twists and turns. From the frenetic strings that draw us in at the beginning of the film to the final piano refrain, composer Alberto Iglesias's score helps create a world that refuses to let you, much like the mysterious woman trapped in the doctor's home, out until the film's very last frame. I spoke with Iglesias about the process of working with Almodóvar on this film, the challenges of expressing the emotion in scenes with little to no dialogue and how sometimes, an ax is an equally important part of the composing process as any instrument. (English is not Iglesias's first language so please keep that in mind as you read his responses.)
Review: 'The Skin I Live In' Will Get Under Yours
Movie Reviews By Kate Erbland on October 13, 2011 | Comments (1)Great personal tragedies have the uncanny ability to leave a mark on those they touch – but Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In takes that concept to frightening new levels, mixing in healing with horror, pleasure with pain, and medical advancements with mental illness. The film centers on Antonio Banderas as gifted doctor Robert Ledgard, a reclusive type who does something out of his in-home clinic in a secluded section of Spain. Whatever type of medicine Robert publicly practices, we are not privy to it for some time (a reveal that proves key later in the story), but we are let in on his secrets almost immediately. Ruined by the tragic demises of both his wife and daughter, Robert has withdrawn into a different field of work – crafting a new type of human skin that is, in a sense, unbreakable. The skin is spliced from human skin and pig skin, meant to withstand heat and cold, to heal quickly, to show no signs of violence no matter what is inflicted on it. And while this is a noble (and understandable, given his past losses) pursuit, there's one small piece of Robert's plan that sets it apart – he's lying when he tells the medical community that he needs to test it on human subjects. Because he already has. And she's locked up in his home.

It's about to get a little strange, that's what it is… We begin tonight with… yes, a picture of Antonio Banderas and a few cats.

Trailer for 'The Skin I Live In' Lays Out the People and the Pieces
Movie News By Kate Erbland on August 30, 2011 | Be the First To CommentIt's Unofficial Pedro Almodóvar Day here at FSR! Everyone, join me as I celebrate in the traditional way – by throwing teeny, tiny bits of Penelope Cruz-shaped confetti in the air and watching Antonio Banderas manufacture fake skin. Wait, is that not how you celebrate your Unofficial Pedro Almodóvar Days? That's about to change. On the heels of AFI FEST announcing Almodóvar as their Guest Artistic Director for this year's festival, the trailer for the filmmaker's next film, The Skin I Live In, has debuted online. The film bowed at Cannes to some mixed reactions, though our own Simon saw the film at the fest and bestowed on it an "A" review, noting that the work mixes some classic Almodóvar hallmarks into a film that, at first glance, just plain doesn't sound like a typical Almodóvar film. But The Skin I Live In sure does sound like an out-of-the-box choice for the auteur, starring Banderas as a doctor who may be tortured on the inside, but who is on the verge of a medical breakthrough, creating a superskin that can be transplanted on to damaged skin. And maybe more…? The film's trailer is a touch tedious, broken up with title cards that hint at some of the different types of people who inhabit the world (or, as it were, the film's world), followed by glimpses at some of those supposed types of people. But some of those people seem to cross over various types, and that's part of the intrigue of […]
Kevin Carr's Weekly Report Card: August 19, 2011
Features By Kevin Carr on August 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentThis week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr flexes his rippling muscles and sets out to live a warrior lifestyle, just like Jason Momoa in Conan the O'Barbarian. But before he can do that, he has to drive a stake through his neighbor's heart, since he's certain he lives next door to a vampire. What else could all those sparkles be about? Meanwhile, he sends his kids off to a dangerous 3D, Aroma-Vision mission, hoping they can make it as real spy kids so they can teach him to put on a fake British accent and woo a not-quite-British Anne Hathaway.
Cannes 2011 Review: Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In
Cannes Film Festival By Simon Gallagher on May 19, 2011 | Be the First To CommentYet again I find myself sitting in the dark waiting for one of my most anticipated films of this year's Cannes film festival, and am met with a chorus of coughs ringing around the screen. Here's a thought – if you are allergic to either a) the dark or b) the cinema, maybes it's time you stopped going. It sounds like a bloody Victorian bronchitis convention every time the lights go down… Anyway, The Skin I Live In (also known as The Skin That I Inhabit, depending on how you translate the original Spanish title), is the latest in this year's auteur-focused Competition line-up, and thanks to both director Pedro Almodovar's assertions that he set out to make a horror "without screams or frights" and his reunion with sometime muse Antonio Banderas, this one sat at the top table in terms of anticipation. Warning, there be a few spoilers below, though I have tried to avoid as many as possible. But like Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, such is the nature of the film that some hints are a necessity.
'The Big Bang' Trailer Has It All: Explosions, Naked Ladies, Car Chases, Lasers and Delroy Lindo
Movie News By Nathan Adams on April 4, 2011 | Comments (5)Like all good advertising should, the trailer for The Big Bang works as a pretty epic little ride all by itself. During it's first moments it feels like you're being plopped right down in a moody detective story. All of the elements are there; some missing diamonds, a missing girl. It seems like an advertisement for a pretty straightforward film. But then things start getting weird. You've got an underground military compound that looks like the hadron collider, Snoop Dogg directing pornos, Sam Elliott with a ridiculously long head of hair extensions, and a lot of heady talk about the origins of the universe. The story seems like some sort of marriage of the works of Elmore Leonard and Tom Robbins. And this is all crammed in to just 2 minutes of footage. I can't imagine the weird places the film must go given its entire runtime; but now I want to. And that's the key to crafting a good film trailer, capturing people's imaginations.
This week, Fat Guy Kevin Carr hands out grades to Shrek: The Final Chapter 3D, MacGruber and Human Centipede.

Werner Printing & Engraving : Printing What Matters
July 2012 By Erik Cagle, Senior EditorQuality Is Still Paramount
"We may be the last bastion of the true craft of printing," notes Ray Frick, a 1999 Printing Impressions/RIT Printing Industry Hall of Fame inductee who was recently named company president. "As a society, we're all drowning in e-mails and all things digital. Consequently, we're now seeing a renewal of interest in the personal touch, the elegance and look of premium quality printing and engraving."
According to Bob Werner—CEO of the firm founded by his grandfather Robert in 1921 and then run successfully by his father Louis—electronic invitations have their place, but it's not in the consciousness of the clients that the company serves. "On the lower end, a lot more people are using the Internet and e-invites," he says. "On the high end, people don't want to go to (stock) catalogs anymore. They want the elegance of a custom invitation."
Engraving only scratches the surface of Werner's capabilities. Its printing capabilities feature manual and mechanical engraving, two- and four-color offset lithography, digital printing, thermography and Perma Raised printing, and letterpress printing. Adding sugar to the mix are value-added capabilities such as foil stamping, embossing (including blind embossing), diecutting, perforating, scoring and numbering.
Werner Printing & Engraving is a mix of old world printing art and craft complemented by digital technology enhancements. In the past year, the shop acquired a four-color Xerox 700 digital press along with a Halm Jet envelope press. The firm is also backed by robust Web-to-print online ordering capabilities, providing old school printing without the long turnaround times.
"Our new digital press helps us respond to clients' needs for the fast turnaround of marketing collateral and we use it for internal purposes, as well," Frick notes. "In terms of our capital expenditure planning for the next 12 to 24 months, it would be hard to imagine the growth plan we're embarking on without an additional piece of equipment to further accelerate our capabilities in digital printing."
Bob Werner adds that his company is keeping an eye on large-scale thermography technology for producing pocket folders, and anticipates an equipment purchase to that effect in the next year or two. The company certainly doesn't make a habit of ineffective or outlandish purchases: In an era when capital spending is guarded at best, Werner Printing & Engraving enjoys the distinction of having zero debt and owning its building.
Werner Printing & Engraving has also taken aggressive steps to augment its staff, hiring a pair of veteran engraving salespeople to strengthen the bottom line, along with Debbie Pollard Pawlowsky, the new director of sales and marketing services. Frick, of course, boasts an impressive resumé that includes stints with RR Donnelley and The Lehigh Press, along with former heavyweight firms Banta Corp., Quebecor Printing and Brookshore Lithographers. His background in mergers and acquisitions also meshes well with his new employer, which has acquired six competitors over the years.
"Going forward, we feel about a third of our growth will be organic, and two-thirds will come through selective, accretive acquisition," Frick remarks. "We're fully prepared to expand our tentacles into acquiring engravers that might not be prepared for the future—financially or strategically—or that don't have a succession plan."
It is Werner Printing & Engraving's willingness to pull the trigger on acquiring top-flight competitors that has enabled the company to set its mark as the standard for excellence in the Midwest, according to Harvey Benjamin, plant manager. "In a niche market such as engraving, what helps differentiate Werner from the rest of the field is the fact Werner was borne of the experience brought from the acquisitions of six engraving companies," Benjamin says.
Not Stationary About Stationery
Frick notes, "We have become an unsurpassed leader in serving the stationery needs of professional firms and businesses. Through the vision of (CFO and patriarch) Louis Werner, the company also has selectively chosen the best of the movers and shakers in our space to help enhance and guide our business. Each acquired company has added value to Werner's knowledge and capabilities."
Building Brands
Another feather in the Werner cap is its consultative approach toward selling and cultivating clients. With brand identification such an important element of client marketing materials, and with M&A activity often changing the face of customer logos, it behooves Werner to establish a bond to effectively answer client rebranding needs. To that end, the firm has established Werner University, a program to help educate client staffs—some of which are smaller and younger—on the ins and outs of engraving and brand management.
CEO Bob Werner is also proud of his company's environmental commitment. In the past year, a plant lighting replacement initiative has shaved electricity usage in half. And the company has exceeded the 65 percent mark for recycled paper usage. "We're getting closer and closer to becoming a zero waste facility," he notes.
Going forward, Werner sees opportunities for organic growth in areas such as security applications; specialty packaging (aided by the company's foil stamping, embossing and diecutting capabilities); and expanded personal communications, namely holiday and note cards, along with invitations. An acquisition of a Midwest or East Coast firm is not out of the question, and there's also something to be said for the simple and effective execution of a crystal-clear game plan. As Frick is fond of saying, it's the "blocking and tackling" fundamentals that also help produce and sustain customer confidence.
"Our mantra remains simplify, focus, execute," Frick states.
Bob Werner also echoes the importance of taking care of the little things. And, frankly, creating mementos that will last a lifetime is sure to put a smile on your face.
"It's about meeting and going beyond client expectations; making few promises and delivering on all of them," he says. "And, we also want to make sure that we have some fun along the way." PI

Current Status: Public Health Nemesis
If you've been reading the news the past few weeks, you may have heard about the recent outbreak of pertussis that has reached epidemic levels in Washington. There have been 2,092 cases reported statewide through June 5, 2012, compared to 164 reported cases in 2011 during the same time period. Other states are also reporting increased levels or outbreaks of pertussis. Outbreaks reported in schools and communities as well as the beginning of summer camp season highlight the importance of public awareness. View the Pertussis Disease Villain's rap sheet below to find out more about this public health nemesis.
Real name: Pertussis
Known aliases: Bordetella pertussis (the bacteria that causes pertussis illness); whooping cough (for the "whoop" sound of someone gasping for air after a coughing spell).
Microbe type: Bacterium
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a respiratory disease that can be fatal, especially for infants. At first, signs and symptoms of this tricky pretender might seem like a common cold — runny nose, no or low-grade fever, and cough. That's stage 1, when pertussis is just warming up. After a week or two, pertussis infection delivers its cruel surprise — uncontrollable, violent coughing spells. Severe coughing attacks often leave victims gasping for air — often described as a "whooping" sound. However, if you have been vaccinated, the infection is usually less severe and often the "whoop" is not present.
In infants, the cough can be minimal or not even there. Infants may have a symptom known as "apnea," a long pause in the breathing pattern.
Preferred Method of Attack
Pertussis is primarily an "air attacker," flying through the air looking for its next victim, when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Many infants who get pertussis are infected by older siblings, parents or caregivers who might not even know they have the disease Pertussis loves crowded locations to encourage close contact among potential victims and to make its job easier.
Powers & Abilities
Pertussis is highly contagious (easy to catch). Want proof? A person with pertussis will infect almost everyone in their household if those people aren't vaccinated.
Preferred Victims
Pertussis is a bully, often causing serious and sometimes life-threatening complications in infants and young children, especially those who are not fully vaccinated. In infants younger than 1 year of age who get pertussis, more than half are hospitalized. And of those infants who are hospitalized, 1 in 100 will die. Also, other bacterial infectors just love to join pertussis' party, moving into a sick person's pertussis-infected lungs to cause their own infections. These are called "secondary infections." Pertussis can also pull off its own complications among young children, such as pneumonia, seizures, and encephalopathy (disease of the brain). For teens and adults, pertussis can be miserable. It sometimes causes rib fractures and other complications from the coughing fits, which can last for weeks or months.
Known Weaknesses
Pertussis fears four letters — D, T, a, and P — and 2 vaccines, DTaP and Tdap. DTaP is for infants and children and Tdap is a booster shot for preteens, teens and adults. The vaccine ammo contains diphtheria (the D), tetanus (the T), and acellular pertussis (the aP). The term "acellular" means that the vaccine uses pieces of pertussis bacteria (not the whole bacterium cell). By using just pieces, the vaccine can "teach" the body to protect itself, with the fewest side effects.
While vaccination provides the best protection from pertussis, some simple basic hygiene steps ‒ wash hands with soap and water, cover up coughs and sneezes, and do not share cups and silverware ‒ may also help to keep it in check.
Criminal Record
Doctors have actually been dealing with pertussis for at least 500 years, but pertussis cases have been on the rise in the U.S. since the 1980s. As of late, CDC has noted an increase in cases among 7-10 year olds. During 2010, 27,550 cases of pertussis were reported in the U.S. – the most since 1959. Twenty-seven deaths were reported – 25 of these deaths were in children younger than 1 year old.
Precautions for the Public
Stay vigilant. We may think we've gotten the upper hand against pertussis. But, the disease is always scheming to get back on top. Recent outbreaks in schools and communities as well as the beginning of summer camp season are good reminders to take action.
Children should get 5 doses of DTaP, one dose at each of the following ages:
- 2 months,
- 4 months,
- 6 months,
- 15 through 18 months,
- and 4 through 6 years.
While 95 percent of children in the U.S. get these vaccinations, by the time they reach adolescence, vaccine protection fades. Therefore, to increase protection against the Pertussis Disease Villain, a booster shot (Tdap) is recommended for:
- adolescents 11-18 years of age (preferably at age 11-12 years; about 70% of teens have received Tdap),
- adults 19 years and older, especially those who will have close contact with an infant (about 8% of adults have received Tdap) and
- pregnant women, preferably during the third or late second trimester.
Tdap vaccine can protect yourself and infants you might come into contact with. And by getting Tdap during pregnancy, maternal pertussis antibodies transfer to the newborn, likely providing protection against pertussis in early life, before the baby starts getting DTaP vaccines. Tdap will also protect the mother at time of delivery, making her less likely to transmit pertussis to her infant.
Situational awareness is also of the upmost importance – listen to a recording of a child with pertussis here and read the latest information on CDC's pertussis Web site to learn how to avoid becoming the Pertussis Disease Villain's next victim.

'Breathless' in Seattle
Catch up on Best Picture nominees at AMC theaters, view past films snubbed by the Academy at SIFF, and go continental with the Goddard and Truffaut series at SAM.
Seattle Times movie critic
If you've fallen behind in your Oscar prep, AMC has a deal for you: The chain will be hosting its seventh annual "Best Picture Showcase" this week and next on Saturday and Feb. 23 at the Alderwood Mall, Kent Station and Pacific Place.

For more information: www.amctheaters.com.
Speaking of the Academy Awards, SIFF has a jolly Oscar-themed event this weekend: Sunday brings an "Oscar Snubs Marathon," featuring six movies that deserved more love from the Academy than they got: "A Star Is Born," "Fargo," "The Thin Man," "Do the Right Thing," "Blazing Saddles" and, to close, a surprise "Secret Snub" movie. It all starts with a breakfast buffet at 9 a.m., with the first movie beginning at 10 a.m.; lunch and dinner breaks will follow.

The series runs Friday through Thursday at the Uptown. And the Post Alley Film Festival, co-sponsored by Women in Film and described as a selection of "female- centric and eccentric short films," takes place Saturday starting at 11:30 a.m. at the SIFF Film Center (Seattle Center campus). For more information on any SIFF event: www.siff.net or 206-324-9996.

The lawyer for Osama bin Laden's three widows and nine children said the family will be deported to Saudi Arabia around midnight Tuesday.
The group was detained last May after U.S. Navy SEALs raided the bin Laden compound in northwest Pakistan and killed the al-Qaeda leader.
Earlier this month, the widows of two of bin Laden's adult children were convicted of illegally living in Pakistan.
They were all sentenced to 45 days in prison but were given credit for the time they had already served.
Pakistani officials have been tight-lipped about their interrogations of the family. Some Americans accuse the country of withholding information that could possibly link Pakistan with assisting bin Laden in hiding.
The deportation could help to end tension between the two countries. Pakistani officials accused the United States of neglecting to confer with them in the operation to capture one of the world's top terrorists.

($400) Aromas of white peach and crushed stone. Sweet, dense and powerful, with strong minerality giving it a strong sappy quality. The ripeness here is almost exotic, and yet this very sweet, long wine comes off as young today. I'd wait four years. Interestingly, winemaker Philippe Prost believes that the '06s are both riper and more primary than the saline, creamy '05s, and that they need a bit more time in bottle than the earlier set of wines.

Again perfumed, hints of white flowers and citrus. Then a different animal on the palate. Powerful and evident oak but lovely harmony already between oak and fruit. (JH)

Chiropractic Pregnancy
During pregnancy your body goes through significant changes. These changes often create postural strain which can result in nervous system interference. Encouraging wellness and ensuring your body functions correctly promotes the development of a healthy baby. Chiropractor adjustments can facilitate a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy and enhance the functioning of your nervous system. Dr Lindsey Allard specialises in the Webster Technique - a specific chiropractic technique used on pregnant women to optimise their pregnancy. The Webster Technique restores pelvic balance and function of the pregnant mother so the baby is in the best possible position for delivery. To book a consultation with a Webster Technique specialist contact Kensington Chiropractic Clinic today.
The Webster Technique for Pregnant Women
The Webster Technique is a chiropractic pregnancy technique used by chiropractors in Perth and throughout the world. Developed in the 1970's the Webster Technique improves the wellness of pregnant women and their baby by relieving the musculo-skeletal forces which cause the fetus to move abnormally. The Webster Technique is known for preventing complications caused by the breach position. The chiropractors at Kensington Chiropractic for Health use this method during pregnancy consults.

In "The Spectacular Now," the high school seniors look and talk like actual high school seniors even though the leads are in their 20s. Nobody gets bitten by a radioactive spider, nobody falls in love with a vampire, nobody throws a sex-crazed party at which multiple felonies are committed and the whole thing ends with an automobile landing in a swimming pool.
When there's a scene involving a parent, a teacher or a boss at a part-time job, these adult characters are not buffoons or comic foils. They're world-weary, but most of them are deeply concerned about the teenagers in their lives.
The young actor Miles Teller can strain your patience with his glib delivery and cocky mannerisms and, indeed, there's a lot of that stuff in "The Spectacular Now," but those are just the opening notes of a fully realized, ultimately deeply affecting performance — easily the best of Teller's career.
Teller plays Sutter Keely, a popular high school senior who's been having the time of his life for four years — always the life of the party, always quick with the joke, so funny and charismatic he has a great-looking girlfriend and he's considered one of the "in" crowd, even though he's not a jock or some dreamboat. And he's certainly not much of a student.
But then Sutter gets dumped by his girlfriend Cassidy (Brie Larson), who still loves him but is alarmed by his lack of ambition and his increasing reliance on the flask he always keeps handy. He goes on a bender that ends with him passed out on a front lawn, unaware of what happened to his car or how he got there.
Enter the unusually named Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley), a sweet, smart, shy girl who finds Sutter on that lawn and is relieved to learn he's not dead. Aimee agrees to let Sutter accompany her on her morning paper route. That way Sutter might find his car.
Aimee's one of those girls nobody notices in high school, but you can tell she's going to be a rock star in college, as soon as her self-confidence matches her intelligence, her natural beauty and her heartbreaking sincerity. But her high school years have been so unremarkable that Sutter is just now learning her name as they're on the verge of graduation.
To Sutter's credit, it doesn't take him long to see Aimee's potential. She's selfless (the paper route is actually her mother's "job," but Aimee takes care of it most mornings). She's quirky, as evidenced by the kitschy decor and eclectic reading material in her room. She's intelligent. She's honest. Never has a teenager in the movies said, "Awesome!" so many times without it ever sounding anything but … awesome.
What beautiful work by Shailene Woodley, who announced her star presence as George Clooney's character's daughter in "The Descendants." It's a wonderfully written role, and Woodley is brilliant in every second she is on-screen.
Sutter starts romancing Aimee, telling his best friend and himself he's "helping her out." Aimee's best friend sees through Sutter and wants him to buzz off. Cassidy does that thing ex-girlfriends sometimes do — she immediately kick-starts a romance with the school's leading jock, but she still instant messages Sutter and tells him how much she misses the good times.
But, like every other character in this movie, Cassidy is not a blonde b-word caricature. She's finding her way, and she has some good points about Sutter's shortcomings.
What's so remarkable about this movie is the natural, unforced feel to scenes big and small. Whether Sutter's taking a casual walk with Aimee or having an epic confrontation with his mother, "The Spectacular Now" makes us feel as if we're eavesdropping on real life. There are times when you want to shake Sutter and tell him to get his act together before he loses Aimee. There are times when you want to tell Aimee she should get away from this guy before his drinking problem becomes their drinking problem. (Sutter's prom gift to Aimee: her very own engraved flask.)
There are also times when you are rooting so much for these two. With Aimee struggling to emerge from her domineering (and never seen) mother and with Sutter learning some hard truths about the absentee father he worships, these two need to realize they can bring out the best in each other. They deserve a happy ending.
Adapted by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber from Tim Tharp's novel (which I really want to read after seeing this film) and directed with just enough indie and just enough polish by James Ponsoldt, "The Spectacular Now" will bring you back to that time in your life when you were trying to soak in every moment because everyone told you there's nothing better than your last year in high school. But you were terrified because you were afraid everyone was right.
Here is the best American movie of 2013 so far.

Irish Anglicans install Rev Pat Storey as bishop
The UK and Ireland's first woman bishop has been consecrated by the Anglican Church at a service in Dublin on Saturday.
The Reverend Pat Storey, a rector in Londonderry, was appointed in September.
She was elected by the Church of Ireland as Bishop of Meath and Kildare, in the Republic of Ireland.
The married mother of two, who grew up in Belfast, said she was "excited and daunted" by the historic appointment.
Pat Storey is by no means the first woman Anglican bishop - she will be one of a group of 27 around the world.
But Mrs Storey will become the first ordained to serve in one of the Anglican churches serving the UK.
The Church of Ireland, whose territory includes Northern Ireland as well as the Republic, decided to appoint women as priests and bishops in 1990.
But, like the Scottish Episcopal Church, another small Anglican church that has cleared the way for women bishops, it has taken some time for it to find the right woman for a particular post as bishop.
Mrs Storey's diocese happens to be in the Republic, but the significance of her appointment will not go unnoticed by campaigners for women bishops in England.
One other thing will mark Mrs Storey out: where most bishops are known by the title Right Reverend, bishops of Meath and Kildare are conventionally styled Most Reverend, the title normally reserved for archbishops.
The service of consecration took place at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.
In a sermon during the service, the Rev Nigel Parker from St Comgall's parish in Bangor, County Down, paid tribute to Mrs Storey.
He said: "It has been our privilege over the years to see you respond to our Father's love with love, trust and obedience.
"You have given yourself wholeheartedly to Him and His Church, serving His people as a deacon and priest - teaching the scriptures and pastoring with that disarming directness, which is your hallmark - a directness, which speaks the truth in love, with a ready laugh and delightful sense of humour."
Mrs Storey's husband, the Rev Earl Storey, gave an Old Testament reading during the service.
Mrs Storey, who is 53, has been rector of St Augustine's in Londonderry since 2004. She has two adult children.
WelcomeShe studied French and English at Trinity College in Dublin, trained at the Church of Ireland Theological College and was ordained deacon in 1997 and priest in 1998.
She worked as a youth worker with the Church of Ireland youth department.
Mrs Storey became a priest relatively late in life, beginning her training in her mid-30s, after working as a doctor's receptionist and for Weight Watchers.
She will be installed in the cathedrals of her diocese, at Trim and Kildare, in separate ceremonies next month.
The appointment of Mrs Storey was welcomed by Watch, a group that campaigns for the appointment of women bishops.
The Anglican Churches in Wales and Scotland have the power to appoint woman bishops but have not yet done so.
The Church in Wales is due to vote in September to allow women to become bishops, the Church of England is alone in rejecting them.
The Church in England is expected to discuss permitting the appointment of women bishops next year or in 2015.

Director and screenwriter Chris Weitz has his first novel coming out in 2014 and the movie will follow soon after–at least that's what you'd think, since Deadline says that Warner Brothers has already picked up the rights to the book, titled "The Young World."
The book is said to be "a young-adult novel is set in New York City following a catastrophe that kills everyone younger than 12 and older than 21 and leaves the survivors without heat, running water or the any of the amenities they've grown up with."
Some thoughts:
- So the only people left in the world are spoiled teens? I would probably wish I was dead.
- What happens when someone turns 22?
- How did the catastrophe know how to avoid such a financially attractive demographic market?
- Will there be handsome, considerate boys who recognize the inner beauty of the awkward, yet to blossom girls?
- Will the 16-21 year olds run away from the 12-15 year olds? I mean, high school students don't want to have anything to do with middle school students.
- Are there zombies?
Weitz will write, direct, and produce the adaptation. His last onscreen project was 2011′s "A Better Life."

I am still enjoying my "cottage garden" Roses, and foxglove and iris and lilies... and daylilies, and clematis and pansies around the edges with lavender and million bells. Not all blooming or even showing in this one either: But you have to enjoy whatever you have blooming...and the roses have really been wafting a lovely fragrance. Speaking of iris, here is Rainbow High: And Kitty Kay: And that 's too many photos again. sorry. kay. |

You have so much wonderful color in your garden! The roses and irises are just magical. Right now all I have are the end of the azaleas, old fashioned bleeding hearts, and this Yaquina Blue iris. |

Thank you Rodney! Debra, my rose garden is still pretty young. One section has made the three year mark, and the other is just halfway in it's second year, so they should improve. I add this and that to it regularly (iris, lilies, daylilies, lavender, million bells...you name it. But it is fun, and it does have blooms while I wait for the daylilies. Hopefully, not much longer since I have so many with bloom scapes. We'll see. Your Yaquina Blue iris is smashing! What a beauty! I only grew bleeding hearts once. It was not long lived for me. I probably killed it. kay |
wow, them roses are gorgeous KAY.love them.Everything else is very pretty, too, you have a wonderful selection of blooming plantsI have a couple foxgloves now, too,I thought Celeste's was so pretty, that when I seen some at the little feed store nursery,I got one to see if it will do ok, here,and it did, so just got a nother one a few days ago.Your photos are so pretty. jean |

Kay, your rose garden has come a really long way in a short time. Those roses look really great! Pretty iris too. |

Jean, I love the foxgloves. I have half a dozen new one that I've planted, but they will bloom next year, not this year. I have a couple that have bloomed for the last three years, and some that I planted in the roses each of the last two years. I have some new ones, Pam's Choice, to plant this year still. I love the things. Rita, you know when I planted them, since you enabled me, and I am pleased with them. I bought William Shakespear 2000 from Chamblee's in fall of 2011 and it is growing so fast! I lopped a couple feet off each end and it just replaces it. A wonderful rose here. And I do love the roses. kay |

Beautiful garden! Never too many photos! Ann |
KAY, Do you have the rose EVELYN?its a peachy color and smells so good.Its a gorgeous rose.,also MAGGIE, I think its a china rose.I forget so I might be wrong on it.MAGIE is a beautiful red.your roses are so pretty. jean |
Thank you for posting those gorgeous pictures! I love the roses, I gave up growing roses because either wicked willie got them or they never bounced back after the winters, so I really enjoy looking at everyone elses. Foxglove is one of my favorites. The first ones died out so I've got more seeded. Rainbow High is so a beautiful iris. Is it a tall bearded? Marg |
What wonderful roses! And what a wonderful color on Rainbow High, I love the brilliance of it, like jewels. My foxgloves aren't blooming yet. I only will have 2 plants this year, last year I had 1 & it looked so lonely :) Just wait til next year. I transplanted a bunch of seedlings & they are all doing well. Still a bunch that need to be transplanted or dug out, I may try another spot for those. I should have several big clumps next year & can't wait. |
Never to many photos just keep them coming. I love your roses if only the few I have looked as good. Linda |

Jean, I have Maggie, but don't have Evelyn. My new ones are Chaucer, Ferndale's Red China, Mutabalis and Grandmother's Hat. I also have an own-root Wild blue Yonder and an extra Don Juan climber since I bought a replacement for the vole ravaged one, and was able to save the original. Marg, what or who is wicked willie? I dearly love foxgloves too. Rainbow High is a tall bearded. Mid America Gadens has it. Thanks you Nancy. Always a silver lining, and the cool spring hs been really good for the roses. I've been on a fairly consistent routine maintenance for them too, which helps. Rainbow High looks just like the photo...as if it has been photo-shopped in the garden. And as I said above, I love foxgloves. Hope to have them in every slightly shady place. Thank you linda. Like I said, the cool, wet, spring hs done wonders for them. |
Sorry Kay. Wee Wicked Willie is one of the rogue rabbits we have an abundance of around here. Thankfully they haven't tried my daylilies yet! Thanks for the info about Rainbow High. Marg |

Gorgeous photos and I hope you know that there are NEVER too many! Please keep sharing. My roses, foxgloves and iris are of course way behind yours so I enjoy looking at yours til then. I had some losses this winter so I won't have as many roses as usual. Those iris are wonderful. Iris are one of my newer addictions so I'm still collecting them and your pictures, along with Debra's stunning clump, are very tempting to see. Celeste |
oh gee, Kay, you have your FOXGLOVES in a little shade.I didn't know they need shade, well, should have know that, but mine(2 plants) are in the bright hot sun.As I said before I have no shade here during daylight hours, except my front yard gets shade after the sun starts going down.I have a little shade under a magnolia tree That I just hate.but can not dig in that area, the ground is like cement and millions of roots.Only way I can have anything there is in pots.I have 3 hydrange's and 4 Hosta's in pots there.and Have to spray them every month or sooner to try and keep the deer from eating them up.Seems Hosta's and Roses are their favorite foods. jean |

Jean, rose and foxgloves go together nicely. If you have a big rose, plant them there...or set them there. kay |
don't have no huge roses no more,lost my big ones, and I have got tired fighting deer, too, but when you have a hig gorgeous rose that you love, and it just suddenly dies for no reason, then when you can dig it up, it has no roots on it,its disgusting.Makes you want to give up on roses. jean |

Nope drive the voles out, then grow the roses. Castor Oil is a wonder in the garden Gets rid of those stinking little root eating, plant killing voles. kay |

Dear Joe
Sorry, I'm a little bit late there ....
But why to quit? You need not be the first in that crazy environment.
Just show your valuable view on what is going on, just write about your new art experience - it is no less interesting. Maybe a little bit another audience. And why internet is not real art and acrylics is? Engravings and lithography were not real arts, they were techniques for reproduction only. Now with Xerox advent they are. Write about what you missed earlier in your life - invaluable reading for your audience. Yes, another kind of reading, but people need not think and act only in one way, don't they?

There is more to life than 'the Web' and I'm trying very hard to tear myself away from it. I have unsubscribed from all the forums that I have been reading myself - which are essential to keep up with all this stuff.
Writing articles and blogs and such takes a lot of time that could be put to better use and I haven't got anything to write about on the 'art' front yet.
I am moving out to a studio next week with no phone or computer (or heating either for that matter, which I'm more likely to miss!)

Joe, whatever you do you can find, that you are doing wrong thing, if you only want o find it.
Indeed it was sprint in marathon, but it is better to stop slowly...
Good luck! Don't catch cold without electricity.

Joe, have you considered handing these forums to someone else? I nominate Baxter!
