Yo soy loco por LocoRoco!
From what I've adventured back to play so far, the LocoRoco series is deceiving in its presentation. On the one hand, it looks very accessible due to its art style, but you will soon be slapped in the face when you progress through the game. LocoRoco Midnight Carnival surprisingly goes the extra step to make the game even more difficult, which often isn't the case for a sequel.
While the game doesn't have a story (don't lie, there is no story in this series), the premise is very familiar: maneuver your LocoRoco (a.k.a. happy blob) to the end of the level while avoiding pits and enemies. Along the way, collect items that will increase your health or put to use in the game's shop. While this sounds rather old-hat, the game relies on using L1 and R1 to shift the screen to move your LocoRoco. This, and the hop ability, is the returning controls for the game. What Midnight Carnival adds to the series is the "Boing!" ability, which is essentially a super jump. Truth be told, it is the most important ability that you have and it quickly becomes your only goal.
Every "Boing!" can be chained together for extra points and used to wall jump around each stage. Being that you are jumping and shifting the world, the controls become extremely satisfying as you combo up walls and over the countless deathtraps. Most of the time, as you will come to see, it is very difficult to pull of precision jumps to safety. If you die in the process of completing a level, you are given the option to restart from the last checkpoint (if any) that you crossed, but at a price. Picories (the games currency, so to speak) are normally spent on unlockable hats and extra goodies to help you complete the game, but they can be put towards continuing a level from a checkpoint. There is no penalty for starting from the beginning of the level, but it is sometimes best to sacrifice your money for the sake of progress.
The heart and soul of LocoRoco Midnight Carnival is the puzzle-platforming aspect that challenges and engages the player actively a lot more than other games do. Much like a survival horror game, your LocoRoco is perpetually near death and is vulnerable to a frustrating extant. That level of engagement results in a contented state of mind whenever you make the slightest amount of progress; be it taking out your first foe or finally besting a tricky jumping section. Your progress is rewarded in many ways, but that intrinsic feeling is what kept me playing, trophies be damned!
Although the gameplay is rewarding, the visuals and sounds also pay off for the player. Each stage has a nice variety in its design, although they may play in a pseudo-formulaic manner. The background artwork is both funky and fitting, and it is the nicest and smoothest art that I've seen the PSP render. Although I'd like to see the foreground artwork and character models be a little more clear and less jagged, it is far from be a deal breaker. LocoRoco's soundtrack compliments each level with some great tunes. The music really brings each world to life even more than it is on screen, taking you further down the rabbit hole.
LocoRoco Midnight Carnival is certainly not for the faint of heart but can easily be appreciated by anyone whom is willing to look past the goofy faces and see the depth of gameplay. Collecting picories net you currency to unlock minigame modes and features, customization for your LocoRoco. Trying to net every item will take a huge chunk of time, and even still there is the entire game to play through and complete for best time, least amount of LocoRoco's lost, adhoc multiplayer, etc. All of these extra modes and objectives do a lot to keep you playing, but the reward is seldom had. Even in if you can get three people to join you in multiplayer, there is no added challenge or even an advantage to doing so. It seems much more like a
Still, one shouldn't look down at what is available in the game, as there is enough content to keep you playing for quite a while. The levels can be completed quickly and the minigames are a great way to get back at the LocoRoco's for not jumping the way you wanted them to. Had there been more levels, less of a learning curve, and perhaps an actual story, LocoRoco Midnight Carnival would be a top recommendation. It is a good entry in the series and (with all of the loading and saving speeds in mind) a welcome addition to the PSP's library.

BLT -- A Sandwich or a Resort? Nov 09 TR (12/9 Lessons Learned)
The subtitle for this PTR is: "Let's add another day ... please?"
Hello! We just decided to go to WDW this fall to celebrate our family's newest addition -- another girl! Like we really need a reason to go to WDW ... This will be our third DVC trip (previously at Beach Club and Animal Kingdom Villas - Jambo). Here we are! at Polynesian http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...8/image331.jpg at DHS http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...8/image390.jpg and the newest addition: http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/JPEG0013.jpg I am a SAHM to two girls. One will be 4yo in July and the other was born in March. My oldest has been to WDW 3x already and asks us every few weeks, "when are we going back to WDW?" I love to scrapbook, do crafts, play volleyball and plan trips to Disney! I will be 39yo in July. I've been to WDW over 30x. My parents started my love for Disney back when I was in school. My DH is a self-titled Computer Geek. He is 46yo (and can't believe he is a dad again at his age!). He loves photography, not planning anything, going "out" and eating a good steak. Surprisingly, he is the one to suggest that we buy DVC -- so we did in early 2007. He did not grow up loving Disney but has learned that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! :rotfl2: TABLE OF CONTENTS Page #1 - Introduction to Family and Vacation (5/9) Page #6 and 7 - Park Priorities (5/28) Page 8 - Restaurant Priorites (5/31) Page 9 - Tentative Schedule (6/6) Page 11 - OT -- Father's Day Craft (6/10) Page 12 - Southwest and Magical Express (6/22) Page 13 - AKV Points, Southwest Credits and Tickets (7/7) Page 14 - Schedule (7/16) Page 15 - Southwest Credit and Disney Maps (7/28) Page 15 - Osbourne Lights and Tickets Again (7/29) Page 16 - New Schedule (8/5) Page 17-18 - New Schedule Again and DDP (8/17) Page 19 - My Minnie Mouses (8/27) Page 21 - More Autograph Book Pages (9/20) Page 22 - Disney Magical Express (10/8) Page 22 - Trip Purchases (10/11) Page 23 - More Trip Purchases (10/15) Page 25 - Family Park Must-Dos (11/9) Page 27 - We're Back Pre-Quiz (11/18) Page 27 - Will we make our flight?

So we really wanted to go to WDW in December to see the Christmas decorations but we also really, really, really wanted to go to BLT.
What?? We wanted to go to a Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich? :rotfl2: For those who may not know, BLT is the new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort at the Contemporary Resort. It's called Bay Lake Tower and it opens this fall. Since we originally only planned to go for a short weekend and wanted to check out this resort ... just in case we wanted to add on more points here :rolleyes1:rolleyes1, we were so very excited about going. However, I'm the type of person who thinks a trip to WDW is not complete unless it is more than one week. My DH thinks it's perfectly fine to just go for Friday - Sunday.:eek: So, I told him I'd rather not go at all if I can't go for at least 4 days. It just wouldn't be worth it to do all that packing (esp with a young one), so I'd rather wait until next year and go longer. He agreed we could go for 4 days. :cool1: {Hmmm, can I get just one more day ...} However, when we called Member Services, all the days we wanted to go in December were not available at BLT. So we switched to November 14 - 18. What's that you say? Nov 14-18 is actually 5 days?! {Said in a raised voice with an innocent look} Really?!!? Yes, you are correct. Right after I found out that we couldn't get in BLT for Dec, my DH tells me, if we want to add another day, we can. Well, I didn't argue with him at all or question it. I added that extra day! |
So here's my immediate ToDo list (not in order):
1) Print menus and decide where we want ADRs 2) Figure out if we want to do the DDP again, just pay OOP, or do the TiW (Tables in Wonderland) card 3) Get Cheap airfare (decide if we buy a ticket for an 8 month old) 4) Prioritize attractions for each park 5) Once schedule comes out, plan days in park and make ADRs 6) Register for ME 7) Update packing list to include baby gear 8) Order groceries to be delivered 9) Send bulk package to resort (obviously decide what goes inside) |
Found you!!!
Now Back to read :cool1::cool1: |
Way to go getting your fiive days :rotfl:
Can't wait to see your pics of BLT...no not the sandwhich :laughing: I would wait to see how squirmy DD#2 is before I decide on getting her a seat or not. If she is a very calm baby, I would just hold her I am sure a lot of people will disagree ;) |
I'm here! Boy the Disneyland side is much easier to navigate.:rotfl:
But seriously, WDW does have a bit more and having a baby along means I got to plan more too. Oh, and welcome!! |
I'm here too!!! I need to read now!
Love the title :thumbsup2 |
I'm so excited to hear and see your thoughts on BLT! That is plan for us at some point too!
I always end up sneaking an extra day on our trips :laughing:I think DH forgets what the original plan is and I just act like it always was that way :lmao: We took DD to WDW when she was 8 1/2 months old. We bought her a seat only because we wanted all 3 seats to ourselves. She ended up sitting on our laps the entire time but it at least gave us the extra room and we didn't have to worry about another person in our row. |
Oh, so you took an 8 month old to WDW? I need to know EVERYTHING. I'm wondering if it makes sense to do the dining plan or not...I'm figuring that an 8 month's old schedule will make it difficult to enjoy the dinner (sit-down at TS), so maybe we should just skip it. Also curious how scared she may be of the noises, dark, etc. I know all babies are different but any advice would be greatly appreciated. |
That might be easier with a baby's schedule:goodvibes |
The more I think of it, the more I think we'll just do OOP. And of course I'll save my receipts and then compare to the three different plans. Hmm, I see a trivia question for my TR already -- which dining plan would have been the best way to go? :rotfl2: |

I also use a mount macro that I found a while back that will basically put me on my flying mount if im in outlands, otherwise it puts me on my regular mount. If i hit this while im mounted it dismounts me as well.
Here it is:
/use [nomounted, outdoors] Reins of the Veridian Netherwing Drake
/use [nomounted, outdoors] Reins of the Swift Frostsaber
Thats about it for my macro useage.
BigRedKitty: Ask not what your raid can do for you {WoW}
Feb 18th 2008 1:18PM I LOL'd in real life at Sparti's reply. Very misinformed post.
While i do not disagree with the utility of the pally class, saying it is superior is laughable at best. Every class has some utility. Hunters can CC almost anything in the game. Depending on spec they can also provide target buffs (helps entire raid) that scale with the hunter's gear. They are also one of the most survivable classes in the game. Excellent agro management. Should i keep going? Are those things not worthy of being called useful?
Next time think or read up before posting crap that makes you look stupid.
BigRedKitty: Ask not what your raid can do for you {WoW}
Feb 18th 2008 12:48PM I believe he is talking about weaving in more than steady and auto. Which doesn't require anymore skill if the survival hunter is using macros (most are). If you are not using macros for your shot rotations, good for you...just not my style.

Jan 18th 2008 1:56PM You know what is sort of funny about this situation. During the PTR of one of the recent patches when they had premades (cant remember if it was 2.3 or 2.3.2). If you copied a premade hunter it came with a ghost wolf as your default pet.
You would think (at least at that point) that they would have kept the ability to tame it around.
I personally don't care either way.
Although I probably would have been mad if i bought the gem and paid a Shaman to go with me to Dustwallow to find out it had been labled untamable.

Aaron, this is really cool. We really need this verse to be applied! The only thing that I would suggest is to add the cross bars of the A's. I think it would be easier to read, especially where the A's join with a letter in the line below. Still very high marks from me!

Stage Triumph: Cadel Evans Claims Fourth Stage Victory, Thor Hushovd Keeps Yellow Jersey
O riders are continuing their charge.
Star Cyclist Cadel Evans held off defending champion Alberto Contador in a photo finish to emerge with a Stage 4 Tour de France triumph on Tuesday. Fellow Oakley rider Thor Hushovd, the Stage 2 victor, finished sixth with the same time as the stage winner and will retain the coveted yellow jersey as the overall leader for the third straight day.
Evans finished the 172.5-km jaunt from Lorient to Mur-de-Bretagne in four hours, 11 minutes and 39 seconds, edging the three-time Tour champion by a fraction of a tire length for his first career Tour stage win.
"To win a stage here in the first week is a real bonus and I owe it all to my team," Cadel said, rocking his Oakley Radar Echelon eyewear. He previously placed first in a stage in 2007 after a rider was disqualified.
"To try for the stage win – and get it – is already fantastic and now we'll look towards tomorrow and beyond."
Meanwhile, Thor remains the overall leader by a single second over Cadel, while Frank Schleck of Luxembourg trails them by a mere four seconds off the lead pace. Schleck was seventh in Tuesday's stage.
Contador, the two-time defending champ, is still one minute, 42 seconds behind Thor. However, he moved up from 69th place to 41st. With a steep climb at the finish, Contador – who excels in the mountain stages – attempted to steal the stage win. Cadel, however, was able to fight off each of the challenges.
"In the final sprint I was committed but I didn't want to launch too hard because I knew the others could have come around me," Cadel continued. "I saw Contador closing in on me, but I just had to hold him off. It came down to the throw to the line and right at the finish I couldn't even see who crossed the line first. I honestly didn't see it. I was just focused on reaching for the line. I really had to wait for the official result myself before I knew for sure that I'd won."
Following Stage 4, Oakley riders possess all the Leader Jerseys and the Top 4 riders at the overall G.C.
Yellow Jersey. Overall G.C.: Thor Hushovd. Norway.
Green Jersey Points: JJ Rojas. Spain.
White Jersey Best young rider: G. Thomas. UK.
Polka dot best climber: Cadel Evans. Australia.

She graduated magna cum laude from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona, and also received the Daphne Blayden award for outstanding achievement. She furthered her training by completing a one-year residency in family practice at the Southwest Naturopathic Medical Center. She currently practices primary care with an emphasis on women's medicine, pediatrics, autoimmune conditions, allergies, and gastrointestinal conditions. She utilizes safe, effective therapies that restore and support the vital force such as botanical medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, nutrition, and mind-body medicine.
Dr. Lilly was born and raised in Michigan and attended Eastern Michigan University where she designed her own undergraduate major. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree with concentrations in earth science, humanities, and fine arts. After graduation, Dr. Lilly moved to Maui, Hawaii, to pursue a career in massage therapy. It was there that she first learned of Naturopathic Medicine, and changed course after being inspired by the concept of studying the science of health. Reminiscent of how conventional doctors are well versed in the science and treatment of disease, a Naturopath has the same understanding of the development of pathology, yet also has the ability to implement their knowledge of the body's inherent healing ability combined with the healing power of nature to maintain or restore health.
Dr. Lilly believes strongly in the Naturopathic tenet of "Docere," or physician as teacher. In keeping with this philosophy, she supports patients who wish to take their health into their own hands and offers guidance on their journey towards optimal health. In her spare time, Dr. Lilly enjoys yoga, cooking, gardening, photography, nature hikes, and spending time with friends and family.

Two people are headed to jail after police say they burglarized a home and tried to steal a car, prompting the lockdown of a Guadalupe school Thursday morning.
Guadalupe Police say the man, around 20-years-old, and an 18-year-old woman burglarized a home on Wednesday.
On Thursday, police say the two people returned to the home, located in a nearby neighborhood, attempting to steal a car with keys they took from the home the day before.
Someone at the home interrupted their attempt to take the car, and they took off in another vehicle, police say.
When police found that car, they say they learned it was also stolen from another location outside of the city.
Police say the two people were inside a home that was next to Mary Buren Elementary School, which prompted the approximately 30-minute lockdown.
After a few requests by police, the two people came out about 15 minutes later and were arrested, according to police.
Police say no students, only staff, were at the school when it was placed on lockdown.
The investigation is ongoing.

This word, 'Resolutions' is on most peoples minds in the new year. Why do we think about this only at the New Year? Many of us take time to reflect on what transpired over the last twelve months of our lives... a time to think on what we would like to continue doing and what we want to stop doing... a time to dream and imagine what the next twelve months will hold for us. New Years Resolutions are a common thing and many of us are looking to make some... be it little or large. My 'resolutions' this year are too be more faithful in praying for others, being kind in all situations and reorganizing my office and keeping it that way! I did a series on Organization this past summer and I think I need to turn back to the office one! That is the space that seems to get the best of me! I have so many things to keep straight and it just seems I don't have enough space... haha... a whole room just isn't enough eh? Well, this week I am gutting the room... I am going to clean out the file cabinets and purge, purge, purge! Another goal that I want to implement is that of The 3/50 Project (www.the350project.net) that I mentioned in my previous blog. I do a lot of shopping & trading with my co-vendors at my markets, but I want to support the small local businesses in my community a bit more this year. [Read More]

Watch Live as SETI Institute Announces Official Names of Pluto's Smallest Known Moons
The public voted and decided the names should be "Vulcan" and "Kerberos", but it won't be official until SETI says it is.
Today at 12:00 PM EDT you can jump on a Google Hangout with SETI to hear the official naming of Pluto's two smallest known moons.

The four-year-old son of mother/blogger/Star Wars fan Stephanie Kaloi is recovering from surgery to both his legs.

Questions & Answers
Isn't a lot of activity and running around just part of being a boy? Wouldn't Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer be taking Ritalin today?
ADHD is real. There are essential symptoms or criteria that comprise the disorder. The most compelling evidence of how young people with ADHD differ from garden variety "boys will be boys" comes from outcome studies in which adolescent boys diagnosed earlier with ADHD still show higher rates of ADHD symptoms.
Should we tell the teacher our child has ADHD?
Parents often ask if they should tell the teacher that their child has ADHD, fearing that the teacher will then have negative behavioral expectations. While parents should be concerned about potential preconceptions and protecting their child's privacy, there are greater disadvantages of not informing the teacher of the diagnosis and treatment plan. While the child's untreated or under-treated difficult behaviors will bias the teacher and peers in negative ways, sharing the diagnosis and fine-tuning the treatment plan assures teachers that parents are on top of the situation and can be counted on to partner in the child's success throughout the year.
With so many different kinds of therapies, how do we know what works and what doesn't?
Parents today are bombarded with often exaggerated claims - both positive and negative - about a plethora of treatments for ADHD such as behavior therapy, psychostimulant medications, sand tray therapy, biofeedback, elimination diets, and social skills training. Parents must become well-informed consumers by looking to science to help differentiate treatments with sound research support from those treatments that simply sound good or logical on the surface, but lack enough evidence to support recommending them at present. Several national organizations (www.clinicalchildpsychology.org) provide online information about how treatments become validated and what to look out for in alternative treatments. They also list the treatments for ADHD that have proven benefits in controlled studies. National advocacy groups such as CHADD (www.chadd.org) also educate consumers and provide excellent annotated references (www.help4adhd.org) to all the major mainstream and alternative treatments for ADHD.
Does ADHD lead to drug abuse?
There is no evidence that this is the case. Untreated ADHD can lead to serious conflicts with authority and with age may turn into a pattern of behavior called Conduct Disorder. This adds significantly to the risk for drug abuse. However, it appears that if ADHD children do not develop a Conduct Disorder they are not more prone to drug abuse than their peers who never had ADHD.
My 6-year-old child just got diagnosed at the end of first grade. Will he ever outgrow it? Is there a cure?
ADHD is best understood as chronic and not as a short-term or temporary condition, even with effective treatment. Viewing it this way encourages the child and family, and later the independent adult, to always be re-evaluating how their care plan is working for them and fine-tuning it as needed. ADHD changes over time and manifests differently over the lifespan. For example, while children must have six out of the nine impairing hyperactive or impulsive symptoms to qualify for that part of the diagnosis, very few adults have this many symptoms, yet they still report interference from symptoms and are in need of interventions. Developmentally, we know that the hyperactive and impulsive characteristics actually start to lessen in the early teen years for the typical child with ADHD. Their inattentive and disorganized qualities, however, persist at fairly high rates and if untreated (or under-treated) continue to interfere with accomplishing what they otherwise might.
Why are so many more children being diagnosed with ADHD now compared to when I was a kid? Is it really more prevalent or are people just making excuses for bratty behavior in a society where parents no longer set limits?
Estimates of the prevalence of ADHD vastly differ depending on how the study collects the information. The best overall estimate is that between 3-5% of elementary school-aged children have the disorder - on average, about one child per class. Unfortunately, even though the number of children identified with ADHD has increased significantly, there are still so many more children who have the condition and are not being identified or getting appropriate help. The U.S. Surgeon General reports that only one out of five of the 10 million youth with a psychiatric illness is receiving proper diagnosis and treatment. Stigma and limited healthcare coverage still prevent vulnerable children from getting the help they need.
Do adults have ADHD?
Recent studies show that the children with ADHD continue to have symptoms through adolescence. It is not clear how many continue to have the disorder, but many improve during late adolescence. Adults with ADHD continue to have problems such as disorganization, impulsively saying or doing things that cause problems with others, being chronically late, not following through on assignments, a quick, explosive temper, recklessness, etc.
How does medication help ADHD?
Medication may affect the brain centers involved in attention. It decreases distractibility, focuses attention, and promotes self-control. Medication often leads to direct improvement in school functioning and to improved behavior and social relationships.
Why is behavior therapy important?
Behavior therapy involves developing a system of dealing with the child's behavior to curtail problem behaviors and increase self-control and compliance. Two broad sets of techniques are involved. One tries to increase positive behaviors by making the child aware of the circumstances that trigger the behavior, such as giving very clear directions, changing the class seating arrangement, modifying school demands, providing structure during peer interactions. The second set of techniques deals with the way adults react to the child's behavior so that positive consequences follow compliance and mild undesirable consequences following difficult behaviors. Consequences for positive behavior may include rewards; consequences for negative behavior may include loss of rewards and time-out. Collaboration between parents and school by means of a daily or weekly report card is helpful.

Feeding your Cat a healthy diet
Do you want to feed your cat a healthy diet?
Take a look at this list of things to do and what to avoid.
Be a responsible pet parent. Cats (and dogs) require a very different diet than humans to be healthy.
1. Avoid Feeding Too Much. Obesity is associated with diabetes, arthritis, urinary tract disease, and even "metabolic syndrome," which is where factors increase the risk for developing disease. Keep your cat at a healthy weight it is for their own good. Toxicities or deficiencies can be created if the cat's diet is too heavy in tuna, liver, cod liver oil, or raw fish.
2. Feed Wet and Dry Food. Dry food is associated with urinary tract disease and obesity. Cats are designed to get their water with their food. Here is a healthy thought to keep in mind for your cat- Mice (a cat's normal food) are about 70% water, and canned food about 78%, while dry food is only between 5%-10% water.
3. Too Little Water. Cats should have several sources of clean fresh water available all day long. Make sure they get plenty of it. This is why some wet food combined with dry (daily) can be a healthy choice to give your feline.
4. Garlic and Onions. If given a high of dose, garlic and onions can destroy a cat's red blood cells. May want to be safe and avoid all together?
5. Avoid Creating Nutrient Deficiencies. It is vital to balance the meat with the correct amounts of calcium and phosphorous when making your own cat food. In the wild, a cat would be eating both the meat and bones of their prey.
6. Carnivores, Vegetarian or Vegan. Cats are obligate carnivores, meaning they must eat mainly meat and animal organs to thrive. Lack of taurine (found only in animal tissue It is essential for cardiovascular function, and development and function of skeletal muscle, the retina and the central nervous system) can lead to heart problems, blindness, and even death.
7. Remember to spay or neuter your cat no later than 6 mos if you can. This helps to keep the population DOWN.
****Be a responsible pet parent. Thank you!

Flea Medication reaction with our Family Dog
This is from my sister. She telephoned me in the 3rd week of March 2014 to tell me about this incident about a flea medication and her adored dog.
"Two evenings ago, I applied one tube of K9 Advantix II for small dogs (4-10 lbs), to my 6 yr. old Maltese. This was not the first time I had applied the product, however, within approximately 24 hrs, my dog began scratching and showing signs of agitation. He ran around the house and hid under furniture to get away from what was bothering him. I checked him thoroughly for fleas, ticks or mosquitoes and found nothing. Nor was his skin irritated. The behavior increased into night and early morning.
Thinking that he might have had an allergic reaction to the grass, as he has had in the past two years at this time of the year, I gave him a third of a tablet of Benadryl, which seemed to calm him down. I bathed him carefully with a soothing dog shampoo, and checked once again for fleas. Nothing. Still concerned, I called the medical emergency number (800-422-9874) on the product box. After providing the contact person with information about the situation, I was told that what my dog was experiencing was "paresthesia", which could be compared to the feeling a human has when their foot or leg falls asleep. It's annoying and aggravating to the dog because they don't understand it, and more importantly not dangerous – just a sensation .
The product goes to the dermis layer of the skin, and will resolve itself within 72 hrs. However, one of the things they recommended was to shampoo the dog 3 times with Dawn Dish Soap to reduce the absorption in the skin.
The ingredient that is the source of this sensation is Permethrin, which is derived from chrysanthemums. Furthermore, any ingredient ending in "thrin" could react the same way. (people-read your labels). The reaction could occur even though the animal has had this product applied in the past without any symptoms. I told them I had given my dog Benadryl, and was told that would be good to calm the dog down, but it would not help relieve the dog of the symptoms. I found the medical emergency contact to be very knowledgeable and helpful. We can wait it out now with relief.
Searching the Internet I have found a blog called World Wide Woof. Of course one needs to use their smarts and wonder how much can be dramatized or sensationalized. Check it out: http://www.dogsonly.org/Woof/toast.asp?sub=show&action=posts&fid=2&tid=29&page=7
Too many incidents of this poison being applied to our pets. It is dangerous! I have become very concerned and want people to know my experience to possibly help others out there avoid this mishap. The product I applied was K9Advantix II. Please be mindful and aware of how your dog reacts if you choose to use this flea product. In the past I have used Advantage II. Two different product ingredients, but both made by Bayer. Now I know that I can use Advantage II on Bucky in the future, but NOT Advantix II.
I wrote to, Bayer, the manufacturer of this product.
She wrote:
My Maltese has been in a state of frenzy
ever since applying K9 Advantix II last Sunday night. He is
biting at himself, rolling, scratching himself and the
ground, paranoid, hiding, scared, running everywhere and
anywhere,hyper. It's like he's schizophrenic, crazy. I have
discussed this issue with the emergency medical contact
(referred to on your box) and was told that he is suffering
with paresthesia, a sensation in the skin from an ingredient
you now use in your product – Permethrin. You need to take
it out of your product – it's a poison and has done an
immense amount of harm to dogs , including death. My claim
#1350*** has been registered with the medical emergency
number, and I will register another complaint with the Food
and Drug Division of the US Gov't., as it is insanity that
you continue to produce this product with all the complaints
you have received. Even the manager of the Petco that I
spoke to was all to familiar with the reaction your product
has had on animals.
Bayer responded:
Thank you for your email to the global headquarters for Bayer HealthCare Animal
Health. We appreciate you taking the time to contact us. Bayer HealthCare Animal Health, Global Communications Team, Managing Director: Dr. Dirk Ehle
Then we spoke a few days later….
I had a 15-minute phone conversation with a representative from Bayer. She called me to go thru EVERYTHING, documenting Bucky's history, reaction, current condition, etc. I was impressed with her too, as I was with the initial emergency medical contact. She was a plethora of information, especially about the ingredient. The only new information is to apply liquid Vitamin B to the area. She thanked me for contacting the medical person, as they do extension reporting and follow thru with any customer complaint and with the FDA and all like agencies they have to report and work with. I really feel confident that it will not do any permanent harm.
I am wondering this (which was not mentioned) if "The ingredient that is the source of this sensation is Permethrin" and harmful to 'some dogs'…is this a chemical that affects the flea but not poisoning the dog? How can that chemical be safe? My inquiry (which I am not sure a Big Business would admit) is how can a poison affect one thing and not another? I have a hard time believing this is safe for the over all health of the dog. But the fleas NEED TO BE managed. So what do we do?
safe solutions:
You can go to our banner for CEDAR OIL INDUSTRIES. It's safe -Nature's Defender. Look over on the right area of this blog, see the girl holding the black and white dog? Click on it. I use it, and one of our friend's uses it with her cat. I spray it on the bedding and the pet. It works for us.
I contacted my friend, Melissa, at Wylder's Retail and Rescue in Studio City.
They offer some Holistic Flea solutions.
she wrote: "We have at WyldersHolisticPetCenter.com. We will ship these to you as well. If anyone has questions please call Melissa at 818-762-2665 or email email@example.com (copy and Paste)
Flea Free is a blend of organic essential oils that you spray on your dog once a day when they will be encountering fleas. It has a lovely aroma and the $18 bottle will last around 6 months for a small to medium sized dog. The ingredients are all safe and natural. You can even spray the formula on your own hands and rub it in!
Snook's nutritional flea treatment is a supplement that you sprinkle on your dogs food. It is all natural and has been tested on humans. The dogs do not taste it but it causes a reaction that makes their blood unappealing to fleas. Again, it is all natural and a small 6-month supply is an affordable $15. A large is $22 and would be a 6-month supply for multiple small dogs or a large dog.

Pet's ID-How does a MICROCHIP work
MICROCHIP your pet. How does a MICROCHIP work?
This form of permanent ID can help your lost pet find it's way home. They will thank you!
A microchip is a small implanted frequency device (RFID) about the size of a grain of rice. It is injected under the skin between pet's shoulders. It is similar to getting a vaccination, no anesthesia is required. It is claimed that it is not a painful procedure…maybe like a sting. The MC is completely inert lacks a power source. To read the information on the microchip, a scanner that emits specific radio frequencies is passed over the pet. This ID number is then entered into a database where the pet owner's information is stored. This is why it is VERY IMPORTANT to keep your information updated. Be a responsible pet parent, they depend on you.
Microchipping your pet is beneficial. One success story, a lost pet was taken to a veterinarian, they scanned it and the pet actually belonged to one of the vet's other clients. They came and retrieved their pet who snuck out under the fence. I recently heard of a dog that was returned after 7 years of being gone! The owners were thrilled to get their pet back after showing up in a shelter.
Collars and name tags are important as well, but they can come off and Microchipping is double insurance in retrieving your lost pet.
After you have your pet Microchipped make sure you register the information properly. The information in the database associated with that number consists ONLY if provided by the owner. Again, register it and keep it up to date. Please be a responsible pet owner. Do it BEFORE you have to learn the hard/heartbreaking way.
Do you have a story you can share with us? see the area, below, to reply to this entry about Microchipping…tell us your story, it can help to educate others.

Lost or found a dog?
What to do…Check Animal Shelters
Be certain to check with every animal shelter or humane society in your vicinity daily, or at least every two or three days. Click here for a list of some of the local shelters. You must go in person, as it is very difficult for busy shelter personnel to identify your pet by phone. Take the extra time to visit each shelter to avoid an unfortunate oversight. Stray dogs picked up by animal control are often misidentified as the wrong breed, wrong age, or even the wrong sex. Check every department of the shelter, including the hospital room, holding area, or quarantine area. Don't think that because your pet is purebred that he or she was stolen. The shelters are full of purebred animals of all ages waiting for their owners to pick them up!
Check the Shelter Websites
Many of the animal shelters now maintain their own websites, posting photos and information about the dogs at their facility. Click here for a list of some of the local shelters and their website addresses. While these can be useful, don't rely solely on the shelter websites — not every dog in the shelter gets his or her photo and information posted! In some cases, by the time a dog is posted to the website, his or her time at the shelter is almost up!
Keep Checking the Shelters
Continue to check shelters for weeks after your pet has disappeared in case it has been temporarily taken in by someone. Even if your dog was wearing an I.D. tag or microchip, go to the shelter and look for yourself! We've seen dogs wearing collars and I.D. tags waiting at shelters for their owners to pick them up. If you have moved or changed your phone number, the shelter may have no way to get in contact with you.
Check with Neighbors
Someone may have taken your pet in with good intentions, especially if it was not wearing I.D. Take a photo of your pet door-to-door, covering several blocks around the area that it was last seen. Be sure to also check with neighborhood kids. If you found a dog, put them on a leash and walk around the neighborhood you found them in. Do this several times. Ask neighbors…"do you know this dog? I found it and I am trying to find it's home".
Check Local Parks and Schools
Stray pets are often attracted to areas where there are trash cans filled with discarded food and plenty of water to drink. Check locations near where the pet was lost that might be sources of an easy meal.
Post Notices
Type or print a bold poster containing your pet's photo, so that it's easily and quickly legible to passing motorists. Including a photo greatly increases your chance of recovery. Post copies of your poster at local veterinary offices, pet supply stores, animal shelters, groomers, grocery stores, busy intersections, etc. and throughout your neighborhood in highly visible places.
Call Lost & Found Services
In addition to your local animal shelters, some services and organizations take calls regarding lost and found pets, and can assist in recovery. Try these resources:
Call (888) 85FOUND
Call (714) 978-PETS
Place "Lost Dog" Ads in Local Papers
Some publications will run free "lost pet" ads for a few days. If not free, the cost is usually minimal, and well worth increasing the chances of recovering your pet.
Check "Found Dog" Ads
Check "found pet" ads in newspapers daily. Call any ad that remotely resembles the description of your pet, since the people placing the ad might not describe your pet accurately.
Don't Assume Your Pet was Stolen!
Occasionally, we hear reports of puppies or toy-breed dogs having been stolen from their owners, but it is very uncommon for a large-breed dog such as a German Shepherd to be taken by a stranger. Often, owners assume that the reason their dog is suddenly missing from their yard could only mean that someone entered the premises and took the animal. In every one of these cases, we have found later that the dog either jumped the fence or escaped the yard in some other manner. In one case, the dog had gotten under the house and became trapped. Don't assume that someone has taken your dog!
Don't Give Up!
Depending on the circumstances under which your pet was lost, and where it has ended up, it could take several weeks, even months, for your reunion. For your pet's sake as well as your own, never stop looking. When you do locate your pet, RUN — don't walk — to the nearest pet supply store and get an I.D. tag on his or her collar IMMEDIATELY. An I.D. tag is the best way to help your pet to find his or her way safely back home. MICROCHIP!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!! All the four legged creatures who need our voices!
Your pet and the Holiday season
Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones…including your pet family! because they are family too.
With all the Holidays treats and dinners that are being cooked, remember not to give your dogs or cats any onions, chocolate, raisins, grapes, xylitol and cooked bones.
Do not leave your pets over night, alone and not fed. Contrary to some folks and their beliefs, pets need attention daily. Ask your neighbor to make sure your pets are fed and safe while you are gone. Yes, Cats can be left one night with plenty of kibble, water and warmth.
Need a special gift for your grand-dog or cat? We have special Holiday baskets at lifesabundance.com/mypetfirst
Bully sticks are a great treat that dogs will chew on for hours. They are digestible.
WE Raised Donations for the ASPCA
We had so much fun walking in the mini marathon in Los Angeles California. So many wonderful people running and walking for the animals. What a great feeling to know all this money was being raised to help the shelter and rescue animals. A heart felt and passionate issue for me. Please consider rescuing a shelter pet…don't support breeding. There are so many wonderful pets that need you and your loving care. Feed your dog or cat with food and treats that have never been on recall!
Please throw your Rawhide chews away! Dangerous for your dog.
These are the most common rawhide risks:
Contamination. As with pet toys, rawhide chews can contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals. And, as with other pet (or human) foods, Salmonella or E. coli contamination is possible. Even humans can be at risk when coming into contact with these bacteria on rawhide treats. Are they from China?
Digestive irritation. Some dogs are simply sensitive or allergic to rawhide or other substances used in their manufacture. This can cause problems, including diarrhea or death.
Choking or blockages. Rawhide bones and other edible chews can pose a choking and blockage risk. In fact, this is a much bigger risk than contamination or digestive irritation. If your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide, the rawhide can get stuck in the esophagus or other parts of the digestive tract. Depending on its size and where it is located, a vet may be able to remove these pieces fairly easily through the throat. But sometimes, abdominal surgery is needed to remove them from the stomach or intestines. If it isn't resolved, a blockage can lead to death. I have a friend whose dog died from this!
Go to the top of this page and look at the products you can buy thru this website. Bully Sticks are good chews and digestible!
From pets.webmd and me!
I love connecting People with Pets…doing it from my heart
We found a special couple to open their hearts and give another dog a home! Yay! How good does this feel? You know what I mean if you have ever found an animal in need. You feel all that tension and anxiety, and ask "why did I get involved with this?". Then you stick with it, you get support and the magic starts to unfold, ending in a blessed act of kindness! Another Happy Animal who is safe.
Your hope is raised and you are happy you got involved. You kick up your heels and feel like you contributed.
The Internet is amazing, so powerful and reaches many miles and makes the limits much wider. I often think about all the dogs, cats, pets that used to rely on the local classified ads in newspapers. If you were lucky enough a person telephoned. "in the old days"….
I love doing this work for the animals- It takes time and tenacity.
Want to share this-My regular income is generated with my massage practice and has been since 1984. In 2010, I created www.mypetfirst.com to educate, network and build community for the animals. It helps to bring income & keep my heart projects alive.

Chicago bookstore owner finds new home in Chesterton

Updated: September 1, 2013 6:24AM
CHESTERTON — Hyde Park's loss is Chesterton's gain.
O'Gara and Wilson Ltd., a used bookseller based in the Chicago neighborhood that's home to the University of Chicago, will open in downtown Chesterton, at 223 Broadway, later this month.
The bookstore, established in 1882, bills itself as "Chicago's oldest used bookstore," and had a location in Chesterton in the early 1990s.
Owner Doug Wilson, who lives in Chesterton, said fees and taxes imposed by the city of Chicago made staying there increasingly difficult financially.
"The advantage to this building is, it is much more affordable. It's not in the big city," said Wilson, who owns the shop with his wife, Jill, and is a native of Chicago's south side.
The old store, at 1448 E. 57th St., has closed as Wilson and his two sons move its many books to the Chesterton location, which formerly housed a computer store. The interior of the shop has been completely renovated, with exposed brick and finished wood floors.
The move, Wilson said, has advantages beyond escaping Chicago's growing expenses. While the shop will be roughly the same size, at 2,400 square feet, it also has a dry basement that extends the length of the shop. Shelves are already in place for storage, and bags of books await unpacking downstairs.
Since there was no storage at the Chicago location, Wilson, who has lived in Chesterton for 20 years, had to pay for book storage on the Indiana side of the state line, another expense from which he will be free because of the move.
He also will be free of a two-hour round-trip commute, and will be able to walk to work in less than 5 minutes.
Given the complexity of moving and setting up some 30,000 books, as well as family commitments, Wilson said he expects the new store to open sometime in late August. He has put online book sales on hold during the move, but hopes to have those back up before the retail outlet opens its doors.
According to the O'Gara and Wilson website, www.ogaraandwilson.com, the bookstore got its start in 1882, when a Mr. Hewitt founded the original bookstore in Hyde Park. He ran the shop until the 1890s, when it became Woodworth's. The store changed hands again before it was taken over by longtime Chicago bookseller Joseph O'Gara.
Wilson came on board in the early 1970s, after he was unable to find a job as an art teacher and started buying used books at the Salvation Army that he suspected had a high resale value.
"I had a love of books and didn't have a lot of money," he said, adding he could pay for the books he wanted by selling the others.
O'Gara was one of the booksellers Wilson went to for selling books, and O'Gara saw Wilson had a good eye. He took Wilson on as an apprentice in 1972. The two developed a partnership and, after O'Gara was diagnosed with lung cancer, Wilson became his caretaker and moved him to Chesterton shortly before O'Gara died in early 2006.
The store, which also offers up rare finds at auctions, buys its stock exclusively from private estates, and specializes in collectible books, first editions, those signed by the author, and other rarities. It also found a niche for scholarly material because it was so close to the University of Chicago, but Wilson said he would be expanding his inventory for his new market.
"I've always, as a bookseller, tried to be the bookstore that had all things for all people," he said.
He is pleased with his new location, across from Thomas Centennial Park, and expects a steady stream of business, especially from the European Market on Saturdays and festivals held at the park.
Wilson said he has been trying to get out of Chicago for some time and while he didn't mind the commute back and forth to Chesterton after he moved here, he still felt bound by the city.
"I'm finally, after almost 64 years, getting out of Chicago to a much nicer place," he said.

The fashionistas of Ultra Music Festival 2013
This past weekend at Ultra Music Festival in Miami, there were some folks that were better dressed, and others more sensibly garbed, but the following fashionistas spotted during night one of this year's three-day shit fest were the ones that stood out to us the most. These bass junkies in tutus, dead starfish, Pokémon body suits and Halloween costumes offered words of fashion advice and reflection.

10. Ballerina Bassers
Hometown: Pompano.
Ultra: Their first.
Most excited to see: Fatboy Slim.
When you were getting dressed today, what made you put on the tutus?
It actually takes weeks of preparation. We just wanted to incorporate as many colors that we could find. Pretty much anything goes. We've been going to these things for a while. So the first time we came, we really didn't dress up, until we saw how everyone was dressed. It's just: Express yourself.
Do you feel emasculated in your tutu, or more masculine in it?
The weirder the shit I wear, the more I get hit on. So, no. My footsie pajamas -- it's ridiculous.
9. Star Spangled Basser
Hometown: New Jersey.
Ultra: She came last year and dressed up both times.
Most excited to see: Tiësto, Kaskade, Deadmau5, Swedish House Mafia.
Boots: Bought them at I Heart Rave.
What inspired your style?
Just the vibe. It's so free. I just love it.
Favorite look here besides your own?
Just a lot of jewels, sparkles, colors.

Queens is a New York success story that its residents and political representatives should be proud of, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said as he presented "An Economic Snapshot of Queens" at Silvercup Studios last Friday.
The borough's population growth outpaced the city overall, with a 20 percent increase over the past three decades, reaching 2.3 million in 2012. Immigrants hail from over 120 countries and account for 48 percent of the borough's residents and no single group dominates the most diverse county in the nation, if not the world.
"It's important to look at trends in the economy," DiNapoli said, noting that Queens can serve as a "model of success" for flailing communities in upstate New York.
In Queens, neighborhoods with the most diversity boast the highest rates of economic growth.
State Sen. Toby Stavitsky (D-Flushing) called the report "a guide to succeed in business with trying," and City Councilman-Elect Costa Constantinides said the report "reaffirms what we already know, that diversity is our greatest strength."
The borough surged out of the economic recession, gaining over 30,000 jobs, two and a half times the number lost. In 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, 44,070 businesses were open in Queens, a 12 percent increase since 2003. Most of these businesses are small, and two-thirds have fewer than five employees.
According to DiNapoli, the unemployment in Queens is lower than the rest of the city, at seven percent after the first eight months of 2013.
Queens residents should "never have to go over a bridge or under a tunnel to get a job," Borough President-Elect, Melinda Katz said after praising DiNapoli and the borough's representatives. She also put in a plug for permanent ferry service to the Rockaways.
Katz credited City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside) for convincing JetBlue to set up its headquarters in Queens Plaza and Deputy Borough President-Elect Leroy Comrie for bringing hotels to the borough.
DiNapoli spoke about the airline industry, which has accounted for $42.4 billion in regional economic activity in 2012. As the nation's sixth busiest airport, John F. Kennedy employs 35,000 people and accounts for $30.6 billion, while LaGuardia accounts for $11.5 billion.
However, DiNapoli pointed out that it is the responsibility of local representatives and community boards to protect residents' quality of life from the impact of growth and expansion, such as airplane noise and overdevelopment.
Meanwhile, he lauded the upgrades to the borough's cultural institutions, including $65 million to renovate the Queens Museum of Art.
City Councilwoman Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills) spoke of her desire to "try and keep Queens on the map. No one arrives on a plane and does not go through Queens. It's time they stopped in Queens and spent some time in Queens."
"I can't not mention the devastating impacts of Superstorm Sandy," DiNapoli said. "I can certainly remember the poignant and heartbreaking images," he said, including the fire in Breezy Point.
"We will have to contend with the impacts of climate change and develop smarter, especially in shoreline communities," DiNapoli said.

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 The word which came to Yirmeyahu from the LORD, when Nevukhadnetztzar king of Bavel, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the eretz that were under his dominion, and all the peoples, were fighting against Yerushalayim, and against all the cities of it, saying: | 1 While Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army and all the kingdoms and peoples in the empire he ruled were fighting against Jerusalem and all its surrounding towns, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD: |
2 Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, Go, and speak to Tzidkiyahu king of Yehudah, and tell him, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Bavel, and he shall burn it with fire: | 2 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Go to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him, 'This is what the LORD says: I am about to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down. |
3 and you shall not escape out of his hand, but shall surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and your eyes shall see the eyes of the king of Bavel, and he shall speak with you mouth to mouth, and you shall go to Bavel. | 3 You will not escape from his grasp but will surely be captured and handed over to him. You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon. |
4 Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Tzidkiyahu king of Yehudah: thus says the LORD concerning you, You shall not die by the sword; | 4 " 'Yet hear the promise of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the LORD says concerning you: You will not die by the sword; |
5 you shall die in shalom; and with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so shall they make a burning for you; and they shall lament you, [saying], Ah Lord! for I have spoken the word, says the LORD. | 5 you will die peacefully. As people made a funeral fire in honor of your fathers, the former kings who preceded you, so they will make a fire in your honor and lament, "Alas, O master!" I myself make this promise, declares the LORD.' " |
6 Then Yirmeyahu the prophet spoke all these words to Tzidkiyahu king of Yehudah in Yerushalayim, | 6 Then Jeremiah the prophet told all this to Zedekiah king of Judah, in Jerusalem, |
7 when the king of Bavel's army was fighting against Yerushalayim, and against all the cities of Yehudah that were left, against Lakhish and against `Azeka; for these [alone] remained of the cities of Yehudah [as] fortified cities. | 7 while the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and the other cities of Judah that were still holding out--Lachish and Azekah. These were the only fortified cities left in Judah. |
8 The word that came to Yirmeyahu from the LORD, after that the king Tzidkiyahu had made a covenant with all the people who were at Yerushalayim, to proclaim liberty to them; | 8 The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves. |
9 that every man should let his man-servant, and every man his maid-servant, who is a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, go free; that none should make bondservants of them, [to wit], of a Yehudi his brother. | 9 Everyone was to free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Jew in bondage. |
10 All the princes and all the people obeyed, who had entered into the covenant, that everyone should let his man-servant, and everyone his maid-servant, go free, that none should make bondservants of them any more; they obeyed, and let them go: | 10 So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free. |
11 but afterwards they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids. | 11 But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again. |
12 Therefore the word of the LORD came to Yirmeyahu from the LORD, saying, | 12 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: |
13 Thus says the LORD, the God of Yisra'el: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Mitzrayim, out of the house of bondage, saying, | 13 "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I made a covenant with your forefathers when I brought them out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. I said, |
14 At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother who is a Hebrew, who has been sold to you, and has served you six years, you shall let him go free from you: but your fathers didn't listen to me, neither inclined their ear. | 14 'Every seventh year each of you must free any fellow Hebrew who has sold himself to you. After he has served you six years, you must let him go free.' Your fathers, however, did not listen to me or pay attention to me. |
15 You were now turned, and had done that which is right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbor; and you had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name: | 15 Recently you repented and did what is right in my sight: Each of you proclaimed freedom to his countrymen. You even made a covenant before me in the house that bears my Name. |
16 but you turned and profaned my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom you had let go free at their pleasure, to return; and you brought them into subjection, to be to you for servants and for handmaids. | 16 But now you have turned around and profaned my name; each of you has taken back the male and female slaves you had set free to go where they wished. You have forced them to become your slaves again. |
17 Therefore thus says the LORD: you have not listened to me, to proclaim liberty, every man to his brother, and every man to his neighbor: behold, I proclaim to you a liberty, says the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the eretz. | 17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom for your fellow countrymen. So I now proclaim 'freedom' for you, declares the LORD--'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth. |
18 I will give the men who have transgressed my covenant, who have not performed the words of the covenant which they made before me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts of it; | 18 The men who have violated my covenant and have not fulfilled the terms of the covenant they made before me, I will treat like the calf they cut in two and then walked between its pieces. |
19 the princes of Yehudah, and the princes of Yerushalayim, the eunuchs, and the Kohanim, and all the people of the land, who passed between the parts of the calf; | 19 The leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests and all the people of the land who walked between the pieces of the calf, |
20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life; and their dead bodies shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the animals of the eretz. | 20 I will hand over to their enemies who seek their lives. Their dead bodies will become food for the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth. |
21 Tzidkiyahu king of Yehudah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Bavel's army, who have gone away from you. | 21 "I will hand Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials over to their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon, which has withdrawn from you. |
22 Behold, I will command, says the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Yehudah a desolation, without inhabitant. | 22 I am going to give the order, declares the LORD, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, take it and burn it down. And I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there." |

I've seen small amounts of clear liquid hydrogen. However, like water, does hydrogen in large volumes absorb wavelengths of light like water? What "color" is it? No, this isn't really a chem question - are the Jovian pot marks from the July bombardment black openings to liquid hydrogen? Are they black? Are they of liquid hydrogen?
No, I do not think the blemishes are hydrogen. The data I saw said they were compounds from the upper atmosphere. Ammonium compounds I think. The hydrogen is supposed to be in the solid part of the planet. This is much deeper. Are you referring to the blueness of water when you talk about the color of wat er? Most of that comes from the sky. I think. It will be exciting to see what the sprectal absorption of the Jovian marks are.

Arriving with a very great caravan--with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones--she came to Solomon and talked with him about all she had on her mind. |

We are installing new floors to be finished on sight. We were really leaning towards maple as I wanted something light and not overly grainy. I have now also been looking into white quarter sawn oak on a recommendation from our flooring guy. This is going in a 1920's colonial/victorian house. We do have lots of furniture in darker tones and some rustic looking, but we are modernizing a lot of finishes and floor plan (completely open) and I like the look of old with new.
Our kitchen will have white painted inset cabinets so the oak would look beautiful, but I really wanted to lighten brighten up the space with a light floor, plus the fact that lots of our furniture is heavy (leather couch, dark dining table, rustic pine desk etc) Can any of you floor experts weigh in on the pros and cons of these two floors. The price is very similar and we are using select or better on both options. |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you want a light result, then quarter sawn white oak finished natural using a high quality professional waterborne polyurethane is the way to go. You will get an assortment of browns, tans and blondes in such a floor, and it still will be light overall. Quarter sawn red oak finished the same will also give you a light result, but the floor will show mostly pink and beige tones. Maple is nice also. Different 'grades' in that product as well, so know what you're buying to avoid disappointment. |

hmm, possibly you would like the oak because of its dramatic color, matched with the rustic appearance of knots and grains which gives it the aesthetic appeal. on the other hand, maple has lighter and more natural color. For me, maple flooring is much more descent and nice to look at.. But still the decision is yours, so good luck. One more tip, choose the one that will complement your home furnishings. |

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. | 1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. |
2 Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ cannot help you. | 2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. |
3 I'll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey all of the regulations in the whole law of Moses. | 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. |
4 For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace. | 4 You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. |
5 But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith. | 5 But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. |
6 For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, it makes no difference to God whether we are circumcised or not circumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love. | 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. |
7 You were getting along so well. Who has interfered with you to hold you back from following the truth? | 7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? |
8 It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. | 8 That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you. |
9 But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others -- a little yeast spreads quickly through the whole batch of dough! | 9 "A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough." |
10 I am trusting the Lord to bring you back to believing as I do about these things. God will judge that person, whoever it is, who has been troubling and confusing you. | 10 I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view. The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be. |
11 Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised -- as some say I do -- why would the Jews persecute me? The fact that I am still being persecuted proves that I am still preaching salvation through the cross of Christ alone. | 11 Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. |
12 I only wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves. | 12 As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! |
13 For you have been called to live in freedom -- not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love. | 13 You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. |
14 For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." | 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." |
15 But if instead of showing love among yourselves you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another. | 15 If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. |
16 So I advise you to live according to your new life in the Holy Spirit. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves. | 16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. |
17 The old sinful nature loves to do evil, which is just opposite from what the Holy Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are opposite from what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, and your choices are never free from this conflict. | 17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. |
18 But when you are directed by the Holy Spirit, you are no longer subject to the law. | 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. |
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, | 19 The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; |
20 idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, | 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions |
21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God. | 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. |
22 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, | 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, |
23 gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law. | 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. |
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. | 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. |
25 If we are living now by the Holy Spirit, let us follow the Holy Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. | 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. |
26 Let us not become conceited, or irritate one another, or be jealous of one another. | 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. |

Mariano's Fresh Market eyes Oak Lawn site
By Susan DeMar Lafferty email@example.com February 26, 2013 4:10PM
Updated: February 26, 2013 6:12PM
Mariano's Fresh Market is "exploring the opportunity" to open a food store in Oak Lawn, according to company spokeswoman Vivian King.
"The mayor will have more to say about it" at Tuesday night's village board meeting, she said, referring to Oak Lawn Mayor Dave Heilmann.
The company already has a site in mind, King said, without disclosing specifics.
A Mariano's Fresh Market is expected to open in Frankfort on March 5.
The Frankfort store will be a 74,000-square-foot upscale grocery with an Italian coffee shop, sushi bar, bakery, a wood-fired pizza oven, prepared foods and a full-service pharmacy.
