I agree, nothing that he said is unreasonable or unlikely. At this point it's clear that there's a privacy risk involved using services offered by US-based companies or companies that base infrastructure in the US.
In case some of the American members are offended by what I said here are some articles that explain further:

The Queen Extravaganza Announces May 26 Kick Off Date for North American Tour
Launching summer 2012, The Queen Extravaganza is a touring concert show designed to take the music and the live experience of legends of rock Queen to generations of fans in cities coast-to-coast across the US and Canada.
Behind the show are Queen: legendary guitarist Brian May and iconic drummer Roger Taylor, whose talents as writers and musicians have inspired such legends of modern times as the Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Katy Perry, and even Lady Gaga, who took her name from one of Taylor's biggest hit songs.
Taylor's idea was to the create the ultimate Queen concert experience in an electrifying road show that celebrates the band's music and legacy performed by some of the best new music talent out there today. Taylor personally takes the role of producer and music director.
To guarantee the touring show matches the fabled design and excitement of Queen at its live best, Taylor has enlisted a heavyweight production team headed by stage designer Mark Fisher. Fisher has been responsible for some of the most memorable rock concerts ever staged, including The Wall for Pink Floyd, every Rolling Stones show since 1989, and, working with lighting designer Willie Williams, every U2 concert.
The Queen Extravaganza touring band - four vocalists and five musicians (two guitars, bass, drums and keyboards) - were hired after an intensive 12 week online audition search. The buzz surrounding the public auditions sparked worldwide interest with video submissions generating more than 10 million views.Television host Ellen Degeneres was so impressed with the level of talent, that she invited one hopeful to perform his audition on her show. That contestant, Nashville's Marc Martel, secured himself a place in the final band. The rest of The QE band includes vocalists and QE contestant Jennifer Espinoza along with addition vocalists Yvan Pedneault and Jeff Scott Soto; bassist Francois Olivier Doyon; guitarists Brian Gresh and Tristan Avakian; drummer Tyler Warren and keyboardist & musical director Brandon Ethridge

Author J.E. Christer promotes new book Ellie in home town Barton
Posted: November 13, 2012|
A Barton-born author signed copies of her latest book at an event in the town.
Jeannette Vincent, who writes as J E Christer, took part in a get to know the author session at Barton Library.
Describing her latest work, she said: "It is a new book called Ellie and it is about a foundling child, left on a doorstep. It is the story of her growing up."
The book is set in the mid-nineteenth century and is the third of Ms Vincent's books to be set in Barton.
She said: "The previous two were set in Barton and the next one will be as well.
"I was born in Barton and grew up there partially.
"The first two that were set in Barton, Polly's Smalltown War and Polly's Homecoming, were based on my mother's experiences in the Second World war in some ways.
"I love the history of the town and at the moment, I am starting one on Anglo-Saxon Barton."
Ellie is available in paperback on Amazon and Feed A Read websites for £6.99. A Kindle version is also available from Amazon for £1.97.

SSA Youth Division Awarded Highest Youth Accolade in Singapore
The Singapore Soka Association (SSA) Youth Division as a team won the Singapore Youth Award (SYA) 2005 in the Community and Youth Services category, for excellence in and commitment to community service and youth development. Launched in 1975, the SYA is the highest national youth accolade honoring young people, as individuals and teams, in Singapore, who excel in arts and culture; community and youth services; science and technology; entrepreneurship; and sports and adventure. Besides recognizing and commending youth for contributions that benefit society, SYA also honors young people whose achievements and endeavors will serve as inspiration to others. Nominations are invited from the public throughout the year and are assessed by expert advisory committees in the five respective fields. This year, a total of 71 were nominated and the SSA youth and six individuals were honored.
The conferral took place on June 25 at the official residence of the Singaporean president. Guests included Prime Minister Lee Hsien-Loong and Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan. The citation reads in part: "To the SSA Youth Division, the principle of value-creation is paramount. Their mission is to live a value-creating life; to create value not only for individual gain but also for the greater good of the nation and the world at large. The SSA (Youth Division) helps young people link with bigger issues in the world, looking beyond their individual selves. They realize that they will be able to make a difference, and contribute to society and humanity." SSA Youth Division Chief Goh Kim Hua received a certificate and a trophy from President Lee.
Mr. Tan Yam Pin, chairman of the SYA Panel, shared that it was "excellence of the heart" that determined the SSA youth's selection for the SYA. At an interview for SSA's organization newspaper Mr. Tan commented: "It did not come as a surprise to me when SSA was nominated. Though you are a Buddhist organization, I understand that your activities know no discrimination when it comes to extending your helping hand to others. Not only have you extended your reach to society and interfaith groups, you have also distinguished yourselves as well as a community [that] serves with a heart. Please continue to do your best, and be passionate about what you are doing!".
Many newspapers covered the SYA conferral, including the English daily The Straits Times and the Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao.

Michael Atherton
Cricket Expert & Columnist
Deepening the doubts
England must hit Australia hard in the first Ashes Test while they are still vulnerable, says Mike Atherton.
Last Updated: 25/11/10 12:42pm
If you believe the talk, each Ashes series is bigger than the last.
Come the first ball in Brisbane all the recent talk will be irrelevant and we will find out whether English optimism is well placed or a cruel delusion.
From a distance England look a pretty content and relaxed squad, certainly much less tense and uptight than they were four years ago when they lost 5-0.
The early preparations have gone absolutely according to plan - it's hard to imagine anyone playing better than Ian Bell did in Hobart - and the players are happy with their own form and comfortable with each other.
Since the days of central contracts, England virtually play and travel together as a 'county' team so the players are far more likely to have best mates in the squad, which makes them a stronger unit than many that have gone to Australia in the past.
Andy Flower and Andrew Strauss have created a very calm, purposeful atmosphere which has developed the more the side has won; they've encouraged the players to get out and enjoy themselves in Australia rather than stay holed up in their rooms, fearful of going outside, which in itself must be beneficial in the long run.
The nature of professional sport means that each England side that goes to Australia is fitter than the last and that has shone through in their fielding, the standard of which has been incredibly high over the last two years.
Flower is a meticulous planner and his decision to send the frontline seamers to Brisbane ahead of time rather than put them through their paces against Australia A made perfect sense to me. It helped that the performance squad was in Brisbane so the seamers had people to net with.
The pitch at Hobart was quite green, as it turned out, and therefore would have been quite reasonable preparation for the Gabba but it was much chillier, cooler and fresher than the humid conditions to be found in Brisbane.
It's one of those decisions that will be seen to be as good or bad depending on how the bowlers perform at the Gabba. If they don't perform well, it will be easy to say they are short of match practice but on the face of it the decision to send them away looks spot on.
Australia, by way of contrast, are not as settled nor as confident a side as they once were. They are not a team in turmoil, but they are vulnerable and England must try to hit them hard in Brisbane to deepen their doubts.
The general feeling in Australia ahead of this series is one of pessimism. If England can get on top of them early on then guns could turn inward; the press will criticise the side and the selectors will come under pressure to bring in younger players to replace the tried and tested.
In such circumstances things could spiral downwards very quickly for them. But if they deliver in the first Test we could see a great up-swell of confidence in Australia with the whole country getting behind their team, which would make England's job that much tougher.
The selectors' decision to pick an initial 17-man squad before whittling it down to 13 was understandable given that the players still had a round of State games to play.
They would have looked very silly had they picked someone like Usman Khawaja in a 12-man Test squad only for him to struggle against Australia A while Mike Hussey compiled a century for Western Australia.
Many think that Khawaja should already be in the side anyway, that if they'd eased someone like Marcus North out a year ago then he'd have half-a-dozen or so Tests under his belt already. Instead the selectors have stuck with the old guard and will be judged as such although Khawaja may get his chance if Michael Clarke's back problems prove persistent.
I wasn't surprised by Australia's decision to leave Nathan Hauritz out of the 13; overlooked for the decisive Test at the Oval last summer, the spinner must have suspected that he did not have his skipper's full confidence when Ricky Ponting was so reluctant to throw him the ball in India last month.
For his part Ponting - who most definitely doesn't want to have three Ashes losses on his otherwise outstanding CV - will know Xavier Doherty, a fellow Tasmanian, well.
Personally, I would not hand Doherty his Test debut this week but would go with North as my off-spinner and include leg-spinner Steve Smith too.
That way Australia could pack the batting with North, Brad Haddin and Smith installed from six down and still have room for three seamers plus Shane Watson.
We'll find out for sure when the talking stops. For now, though, judging by the manner in which their coach Tim Nielsen had a pop at Duncan Fletcher over the weekend it is Australia who feel under the greater pressure.
Remember that you can follow the Ashes wherever you are - on skysports.com, Sky Sports HD1, Sky Player and Sky Mobile.
The first Test gets underway at 11pm on Wednesday November 24 on Sky Sports HD1.

Maintaining Kids' Organised Space
- 18-10-2010
- All Flourish: Articles: Archive
How to Maintain Your Organised Spaceby Lisa Rowley
Now that you have sorted, reduced, housed and labeled all your belongings (see this article, Containing Kids' Clutter) – your child has an environment that encourages easy tidy-up.
If motivation is an issue, here are some suggestions;
Make tidying- up a game
Use the kitchen timer and challenge your child to see how much they can tidy up within five minutes. Additionally, you could make it a counting game, ask them to pick up and put away 14 items or seven items that are the colour blue – make it fun for them.
Have a 'Two Only Rule'
Your child can only have two toys out at one time, once they have finished with one, they must pack it away before they bring out the next.
This will reduce that "….this rooms looks like it has been hit by a bomb" feeling. A little bit of packing up along the way will make the final clean up less overwhelming.
Doing a little bit at a time is also true for the organisation process.
Once a room has been initially organised, de-clutter or weed out toys, games and clothes about every six months. A great time to do this could be the start of a new season, before a birthday or during holidays.
Organisation is a process, it will take time to develop new habits and time for your family to settle on how best to house some items, or what containers to use.
To maintain any organisational system it needs to fit within the family's rhythm of how they get things done.
Follow Lisa's tips and watch your children (and you!) enjoy their new, organised environment.

Apple Cider Vinegar 36 1
User Ratings
[YEA] I came home from work one day and my legs were black from the knee down with fleas. Somewhere I heard I could spray ACV full strength all over my carpet and anything else in the house. It was hot in Los Angeles at the time so I shut the house up, turned off the A/C and let it bake for three days while I was gone to work. I continued spraying for about 3 days just to be sure they were all killed. Amazing how this works, but it does!
Grease cutting blue dish detergent works for bathing my dog. Also, I have used diluted ACV which works too.

So I have 5 cats and they have been infested with fleas. I am wanting to start doing the ACV baths for them but I am curious as to how many times a week I should be doing this. Any help would be much appreciated! ThanksPosted by Jean (Homewood, Al) on 09/04/2012
How much Apple Cidar Vinegar should I use on my 2 yr old Yorkie? She has flea bites and is itching terribly. I've tried other flea products with no help.Replied by June
Winfield, Kansas
07/18/2013[YEA] I never bathe mine in ACV. If they are infested I guess you should bathe them to get the fleas off, probably with soap so it kills the fleas, but you can also just put a few drops of ACV on their fur and rub it in. Also put a few drops in their food every day. You will see the number of fleas decrease within a day or two. All my cats are outside and none of them have fleas. I have been using ACV for several years now. I put a few drops of ACV (organic with the mother) in their food every day. It works like a charm.
There is also this stuff called bug arrest you can buy online. It's non-toxic and contains no pesticides. It has enzymes in it that eats the exoskeletons off bugs. It will get rid of mange, scabies, earmites and all other bugs.
Good luck.Posted by Sara (Lexington, Kentucky) on 05/18/2012
[YEA] My dog Lila had a very bad rash around her neck and ears. I thought that maybe I would have to take her to the vet! But instead I mixed a spray bottle with apple cider vinegar and water and soaked her with it. A couple of hours later the redness of the rash was gone and she was itch free! Thank you Apple Cider Vinegar!Posted by Mary (Glenford, Ny) on 02/27/2012
Hello, I'm really anxious to try the ACV treatment for my Cocker Spaniel to get rid of his fleas and allergies to the fleas. How much ACV should I put in his food daily and how much should I put in a topical spray for him?Replied by Nightfire
Danville, Illinois, United States
03/09/2012lol, I am still amazed at the uses for ACV. I buy the normal ACV a gallon a month. I do realize there is more benefits with the unfiltered, but can't get out much n I ish a po girl. *Ahem*, but I digest er digress XDDD. After researching and reading. I filled a small, clean spray bottle FULL STRENGTH with ACV, then me and my roomy went nut's misting the floors. After bout an hour when the smell went away. I went to having a miserable itchy cat to a playful kitten who sleeps well and is more lovey and playful. *Note-I also added half a teaspoon of ACV to some Tuna Water along with a teaspoon full of melted VCO and gave it to him (tee hee he thought it was a treat) to get rid of recurring *Shivers and ew* worms. I now have a happy parasite free kitty, and he wont stop thanking me (rub, curl, wind XD). Good luck n I hope this helps.
P.S.-I was so thrilled that I was saving money, it was safe, and it actually WORKED that I told my neighbor for her little Poochie.Replied by K.gonzales

08/19/2012[YEA] (YEA) My Husband & I came home from a two week vacation to a unhappy flea infested cat and house... Yikes... We had our two Scotty's with us and they showed no signs of fleas till our return... It was misserable for all of us, we were ready to go to a hotel... We took both dogs and our cat to the groomer to get defleaed (with Frontline) while our home was being sprayed... It did not solve either problem... Still we had fleas... For three weeks we treated our dogs & cat with flea shampoo and pest control, still fleas... By now our dogs have soars on them one was getting an ear infection... Yikes... I took the advise of ACV put it full strength into a spary bottle sparyed everything in the house (including pets with 1/2 Water 1/2 ACV solution) no more fleas! I will continue with this natural remedy from here on... Yeaaaaaaaaa! :)Replied by Nlb

[YEA] I have a small dog who was miserable with fleas I bathed him with dawn dish soap and rinsed him with a 50/50 mix of Apple Cider Vinegar and water after, he was dry I massaged organic olive oil in his skin which was red and inflamed. He finally stop scratching! And the fleas are gone for now I'm sure I will have to repeat this process until all the fleas are gone.Posted by Dianec (Los Angeles, California United States) on 07/14/2011
[YEA] My dog Maggie a chihuahua/terrier mix had a problem with FLEAS! And her body would smell like a fish. After a bath is the only time she smelled good. The next day she would smell bad again. Well I read that dogs with this condition have too much alkaline in their system.
And that about 1 cup to 1 cup and a half of Apple cider vinegar in a pail of warm water might help.
I bathed Maggie using commercial dog shampoo and rinsed her in warm clear water and then I used an apple cider vinegar rinse, WELL IT WORKED! Maggie no longer has fleas and she doesn't smell bad. I also dip her in the apple cider vinegar rinse about twice a week. In the past even with Frontline she would have a few fleas. And her skin would get pink to red.
She is now normal. And no fleas! For me this apple cider vinegar rinse was a miracle.Replied by Bo'smama

Toronto, Ontario Canada
03/03/2012B0'smama I started using ACV as a rinse for my puppies at 6 weeks with no issues. I used one part ACV to Three parts water and would let it sit on the skin for a few mins while I massaged it in. I had dobermans and I started giving them ACV in their water at 6 months only because I also didn't know if it was safe for puppies before that and they contracted a stomach bug at 6 months so I wanted to give it a try. My dogs were exceptionally healthy and shiny!!Posted by Alyssa (Austin, Tx) on 07/03/2011
[YEA] Apple Cider Vinegar as a flea remedy:
My cats were keen to the ACV added to their water to prevent fleas, and they would steal water from their loving humans to avoid it. A little over a week ago, I started adding a few drops of ACV to their nightly soft food. The food is pungent enough to cover up any hint of the ACV odor. They no longer scratch themselves to the point of scabbing up and I can't find any fleas on either cat. As always, ACV is amazing!Posted by Flourshoppe (Houston, Texas, Usa) on 06/17/2011
[YEA] We are having one horrid heat spell as you all are aware, and no rain so the fleas want to live inside with us because we have air conditioning!!! I've used Frontline 2 times on my little dog (3 weeks apart), vacuum everything every day, and spray full strength Apple Cider Vinegar all over everything... Bed, pillows, floors, sofa... Anywhere she "hangs out"... Including, I spray her because fleas do NOT like vinegar. I've never had a flea problem like this and others have complained about the problem this year too... it has taken a few weeks, but Miranda has no fleas finally not to mention, the house is always fresh smelling once the vinegar small disappears.Posted by Lainie (Toronto, Ontario Canada) on 06/09/2011
[YEA] Just reading through all of the suggestions & have had lots of success with ACV, but have to caution on diatomacious earth (DE), dish soaps & garlic.
DE can be harmful to all pets. When they groom themselves (particularly cats), they ingest the tiny particles which can damage their digestive systems. Dish soaps are toxic & although they work, are totally uneccessary. Any shampoo will kill fleas if left on for a few minutes, but the fleas will return. Many dogs love garlic but garlic can cause problems that can be deadly. Some dogs have eaten garlic all their lives without any problems but why take the chance?
A good organic brand of ACV is safe & natural if used properly. Don't put undiluted ACV on your pet, dilute it with warm or cool water. In their water is fine & cannot harm them at all as long as you don't overdose them! One tsp. In a quart should be sufficient. Smell their water to make sure it doesn't stink of vinegar. Humans are encouraged to use ACV for all kinds of problems & can manage 1/4 cup per glass of cold water without hating the taste.
Good luck with everything. Our Black Lab is going nuts with allergies & has no fleas. The ACV is helping her stop chewing her paws but has to be done daily. We've gone through everything imaginable from changing foods to prednisone which we cannot stand to continue. Right now, we're giving Evening Primrose oil a try. Anybody have similar problems with their labs?Replied by Jb

08/07/2011[YEA] One of my German Shepherds had an awful time with gooey ears, crusty lips & itching/scabs on her lower back & neck. Once I placed her on raw meat & bone diet all symptoms disappeared. It took about 3 months for her skin to heal. Suppose it took that long for the grains to get out of her system.
I have even tried grain-free food but, the crusty lips & ears start up again after one serving.

Also, food-grade DE is not harmful if mixed in food. I use it several times a year to clear intestinal parasites in my dogs. In fac, t I add it to my own smoothies. It's silica. Food-grade DE is used in the midwest to treat cows & hogs for parasites. It is perfectly safe. One has to take precaution not to allow the powder to enter the eyes or breath it in. Add to moist food or broadcast in the yard & lightly water into soil.
Use common sense when using DE.Replied by Jet-set-net

02/22/2012To Lanie from Toronto and other pet owners - My Black Lab was a rescue dog, in bad shape inside and out, had been beaten, hit by a car... You name it. Rhasta wasn't supposed to ever be able to run again, but he did - alot! The vet said there was no chance to rid him of fleas and his itchy skin, goopy eyes, etc unless I gave him the "prescribed medications"... But he was the happiest, healthiest, shiny-coated, handsome, loving dog for the rest of his long life I believe BECAUSE I refused to give him Frontline, flea baths, etc. I sprinkled and then brushed Diatomaceous Earth on and under him - sparingly! (and I use this in and around my home for pest control- have none! ) and always mixed a spoonful of Brewers Yeast into his dry food. Also would put in a freshly cracked raw egg every couple of weeks. I also NEVER used lawn chemicals - why don't people get it? You are killing your weeds and your pets at the same time! Pets (and kids! ) are low to the ground. They eat/walk on/roll around/dig in your grass or soil. Never ever use sludge/milorganite anywhere something living would sit, stand, garden, play.... Period! No matter how "safe" or "organic" 'they' say it is, "the pharmaceuticals and many toxic organic chemicals are present in sludges but are not regulated or monitored. " It repels deer -for a reason- IT'S NASTY!
PLEASE, think for yourself, most doctors/vets are not nutritional experts, they treat (not cure). They push the drug from the hot rep who brought in lunch that day! They're in business. Put good things in and you'll get good things out. READ THE LABEL! My all-time favorite and most useful book is Prescription for Nutritional Healing. This is my 'bible', my guide through life and I only wish everyone could own it so they'd understand how everything affects the circle of life. Go natural - you know it's the right choice!Replied by Dean

06/01/2012I'd like to respond to post by Lainie of Toronto, Ontario, Canada posted on 06/09/11. I don't know if you still have a problem with your labs coat due to allergies that aren't flea related but my black lab would loose fur and itch horribly. The vet wanted to treat with cortizone which didn't really work, it helped but my dog still looked horrible. I own horses so one day I tried "Fungicide" its a spray for different horse skin problems. She stopped itching almost immediately but wanted to lick where I sprayed and I didn't think that would be good so I dried off the excess. I noticed in 3 days to a week her hair actually grew back where she was having a problem. Then every 6 months, sometimes less, sometimes more, the problem would return. I'd spray again, wipe the excess but leave dampened and the problem would be gone again. I had friends with labs that had the same problem. I'd actually lend them my spray. Their dogs were cured in a matter of days. I'd highly recommend it and you can find in just about any horse feed store. Good Luck hope you find this useful. It works!Replied by Piglet

01/29/2013Replying to Lainie, yes, my lab mix has had a problem for a long time. He was losing a lot of fur from all his itching. I thought he had mange and was treating him with the peroxide and borax mix. He regained most of his fur but the itching comes back just a couple days after the bath. I have been treating him for 2 months and he still has terrible itching. I see little bumps on his skin. I am starting to think it's allergies. I don't know, I've tried changing his food, but that doesn't help. Did you find a solution that worked for you?Replied by Annabel

02/06/2013We have a Bedlington Terrier who had red bumps on her belly and scratched constantly. I tried Ted's Mange recipe and put it in a spray bottle. I sprayed her every day or twice daily for awhile and it worked. She is basically itch free. One important point: The borax is difficult to dissolve so I heat the borax in the water to dissolve and add everything else to that. You will find that the borax will solidify into chunks after a period of time and you will need to make the recipe again. Hopefully the problem will be gone by that time.Replied by Crystal

07/08/2014I have a black lab that had horrible allergies, after trying every type of dog food and many steroid shots, I read something on the internet that said to give your dog 1 apple cider vinegar pill daily and feed your dog Eagle dog food ( I buy the natural lamb formula). I wrap the vinegar pill in a piece of bread and put it with her bowl of food. For the first couple of months I could not see much progress, but I hung in there and it worked great. She has not needed a steroid shot in five years and her skin is great!!!!! I still feed her the Eagle Brand dog food and now I will put an apple cider vinegar pill in her food every other day or so. She always had yeasty smelling ears too, and that is cleared up!! I think it has something to do with their pH level. It really works. She is now 15 years old.Posted by Suny (Ponca, Ok) on 03/07/2011
Hi everyone, I've been reading about different remedies for this and alot of you talk about ACV. Do you put it in the cats water? dilute it? on their fur? Cats are alot more suseptible to things( such as essential oils which you cannot use at all). Where I live there are ticks and fleas for most of the year and my cats are indoor and outdoor cats since that is their need. I have to be careful what to put on their fur as they love to lick onean other. Any suggestions would be appreciated.Posted by Amy (Madison, Wi.) on 01/07/2011
[YEA] I have sprayed ACV from a spray bottle for the last 3 years around the baseboards of my house and I have yet to see a flea in or on my dogs or cat. I mentioned this to the veterinarian and he replied with only a flat gaze. I am thrilled to have found something so natural and good not only for my animals but for me, my family and the environment and at such a low cost.
I spray maybe once a week, just a gentle mist on only the first floor of my 2nd floor home, along the floorboards. You can do this outside too, along the foundation of your home. It also seems to be working with other insects, but especially fleas. It doesn't smell the greatest for a while but it is well worth it! Had to let everyone know!Replied by Valerie

10/19/2011I was wondering, we have no more pets but still have fleas the pets have been gone for weeks now and we have flea treated the whole house sprayed the bedding and washed everything in the house. But we are still finding them and they are getting bad again and my kids are allergic to them and I don't know what to use to get rid of the fleas or to help my kids not itch. I heard that apple cider vinegar works on the bites and stops the itching. We can't leave the house for days or hours will the Apple Cider Vinegar work if sprayed on my floors and things like that.Posted by O (Fairfield, Ct) on 10/26/2010
I just wanted to say thank you for the feedback! I also wanted to give my personal experience. I recently moved into a new house and since the move, my dog has had a reoccurring ear infection and no matter what I did, it wouldn't work. I tried the ACV with Alcohol and water mixture and it would start to work, but then it would come back. I just didn't know why!
Well, she had fleas! I was grooming her one day and I saw one and shaved her off completely and bathed her with everything. I gave her ACV and water mixture and then bathed her with Flea and tick shampoo and the borax mixture. What didn't I do! Cleaned the whole house down. The thing was that we have wooden floors, so those little buggers were doing a very good job at hiding. When I finally started to attack the real problem, then she started to heal. I thought maybe she had ear mites or something. But, after I found the fleas, I read online that they can even infest the ears! Gross! Just wanted to put it out there in case there is someone with a similar problem.
P. S. I had already been giving her ACV in her water for a year and giving her garlic. I also feed her raw food. I'm just so happy to finally find out what the real problem was all along!Replied by Suzanne

03/19/2011Dogs can definitely get ear infections from fleas, but it is not because the fleas are in the ears. When a dog has flea allergy dermatitis, their skin gets inflammed, due to the allergic reaction from the flea bite. This allergic reaction can show up anywhere the dog has skin including the skin inside the ear canal. So the fleas can be biting him on his rear-end and he is reacting in his ears. Once the skin is inflammed bacteria and yeast can easily set up shop and cause a secondary infection. This inflammation can also occur in the GI tract causing alot of intestinal problems. Strange to think that fleas can cause ear infections and/or diarrhea but it's true :)Posted by Tanya (Lakeland, Florida) on 05/26/2010

06/07/2010I can tell you... yes, your cat can go into hiding and act scared (at one time, it took me 2 hours to find him, he was under the basement steps hiding in a flap top box and managed to get the boxed closed!) One of my cats did last summer after an infestation. Once I took care of the problem, bathed both cats and applied advantage, he was a happy cat again.

12/22/2009I think dish-soap kills fleas on contact - it's good to bath the animal in that, but as far as ACV, oils and whatever, they are only deterents. They will not kill the fleas, but are excellent as a preventative measure. You need to get rid of the fleas initially and I believe that the ACV and using diluted essential oils will help prevent a re-infestation. I am using diluted eucalyptus oil on all of our bedding, in closets, on clothes and also misting it on our skin and hair to prevent flea bites. I also mist it on the cat to prevent more fleas on him. If you really want to get rid of the fleas, use some spray or powder on carpets and furniture (there are all natural ones at pet stores) and also treat your pet with a flea/tick product. It is not all natural, but it will take at least a few months to rid the house of fleas because of their life cycle. If you don't do something to kill them initially, there will be re-infestation problemsReplied by Gina

09/21/2014Cedar is toxic for all animals - including humans. Breathing in the scent can cause/trigger asthma, Upper Respiratory problems, and more. It is especially toxic to cats. It is sold as litter and bedding - but SHOULDN'T be. It is commonly used for rodents for bedding. Those rodents live roughly HALF as long - as rodents who are not bedded on Cedar. All soft woods emit toxic chemicals in their essential oils. If you can smell the wood aroma - it is toxic. (Including Feline Pine Litter - which HAS killed some cats.) ALL essential oils are toxic to cats - to varying degrees. Cedar and Tea Tree Oils are ESPECIALLY toxic. If you research this info on the internet - it's hard to find - but it's there!

Miley Cyrus Suspected in Criminal Battery Case After Fight in LA
Miley Cyrus's edgy new 'do may have come with a badass attitude: The 19-year-old is a suspect in a criminal battery case!
As TMZ reports, the incident went down Saturday night as Miley and her man, Liam Hemsworth, hit up Beacher's Madhouse at LA's Roosevelt Hotel. The alleged victim said that he and his friends jostled Liam's chair at the club, igniting an argument that got out of hand.
Apparently Liam got confrontational, and Miley intercepted, shoving the alleged victim and hitting him in the face.
We'd be surprised if Miley faces charges. Another witness told TMZ that Miley never got violent.

Brazilian police arrested a director from the FIFA partner company handling World Cup ticket packages, accusing him of leading a network that illegally sold game passes.
Ray Whelan, a director at Match Hospitality, was detained at Rio de Janeiro's luxurious beachfront Copacabana Palace Hotel Monday, days after 11 people were rounded up in a raid to dismantle the network.
Fabio Barucke, the case's lead investigator, said Whelan faces charges of facilitating the distribution of tickets for their illegal sale and criminal conspiracy. If found guilty, he could face four years in prison.
Local media said Whelan is a 64-year-old British citizen. Some 100 tickets were found in his hotel room.
The arrest was made on the eve of the tournament's first semi-final game between Brazil and Germany in Belo Horizonte.
Argentina and the Netherlands will face off for the final's last spot on Wednesday in Sao Paulo.
Police say the international scalping syndicate sold thousands of tickets worth millions of dollars, going back to the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
The scandal is the latest to hit FIFA, which is already battling allegations that members accepted bribes from a Qatari football official to secure support for the emirate's campaign to get the 2022 World Cup finals.
One of Match Hospitality's shareholders is Swiss-based Infront Sports and Media, headed by Philippe Blatter, the nephew of FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
900 calls
A French-Algerian suspect, Mohamadou Lamine Fofana, was initially thought to be responsible for the ticket scheme after he was among 11 people arrested last week in Rio and Sao Paulo.
But suspicions moved toward an individual at Match Hospitality, the official World Cup ticket agency, which sells deluxe packages that include private suites at stadiums and gourmet catering.
"Whelan denied negotiating tickets with the Franco-Algerian Mohamadou Lamine Fofana during the World Cup, but we have proof. We have 900 (intercepted) calls between the two during the tournament," Barucke told reporters.
The investigation is looking into seven more suspects, but Barucke did not give more details. Police say Whelan gave VIP tickets to Fofana that were originally for sponsors, non-governmental organizations and relatives of players. Fofana then sold them illegally with the help of travel agencies and football contacts.
Authorities said last week a FIFA official appeared to have been involved in the scheme and that the Brazilian, Spanish and Argentine football federations are under investigation.
FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer said the organization "takes note" of Whelan's arrest and that it continues to cooperate with the investigation.
Tickets cancelled
Match Hospitality said earlier that it had canceled the tickets bought by Fofana's company, Atlanta Sportif, for the semi-finals and the final.
The hospitality firm warned that it would cancel the remaining tickets of three other companies whose names appeared in tickets seized by police unless they cooperate with the probe.
Match identified the companies as Reliance Industries Limited, Jet Set Sports and Pamodzi Sports, but did not give details about the companies' ownership.
Reliance Industries bought 304 packages for 19 matches worth USD 1.2 million, including access to a private …continued »

Hard braking cited in airplane wreck report
Sep 18, 2012 - By Martin Reed, Staff Writer
The crop duster was damaged June 3 on a dirt airstrip in the Hidden Valley area.
A pilot's loss of control combined with excessive braking while landing north of Riverton in June caused his crop duster to flip over its nose onto its back, federal investigators announced Sept. 13.
The National Transportation Safety Board issued its probable-cause findings in a report about the crash that happened at about 6 p.m. June 3 on a dry, dirt airstrip in the Hidden Valley area.
The pilot, a 28-year-old man whose name was not disclosed in reports, crashed during the landing on the private runway just before attempting to load chemicals into the plane.
The Fremont County Sheriff's Office at the time of the crash reported that no one was injured. A patrolling deputy on Klocke Road spotted the overturned aircraft on the runway.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board report, the pilot landed the Grumman G-164A single-engine airplane on its main landing gear and lowered the tailwheel to the surface.
The airplane started to veer toward the side of the runway and the pilot could not keep the aircraft from leaving the side of the landing and takeoff surface.
The report stated that "because it was heading toward a big gully, he applied as much braking force as possible. As he applied the braking force, the airplane nosed over onto its back, which resulted in substantial damage to the upper wing and the vertical stabilizer."
The report also stated the pilot reported "no malfunction or anomaly associated with the airplane's directional control system or its braking system."
The sheriff's office reported Sky Aviation of Worland as the aircraft's owner.

Wattle Creek Yorkville Highlands Sauvignon Blanc 2010
Sauvignon Blanc from North Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
Pungent, enticing aromas of ruby red grapefruit and Meyer lemon rind dominate the aromatic profile. In the background, subtle aromas of lime peel, citrus blossom and ripe kiwi fruit present themselves intermittently. The flavors are vivid and intense, combining refreshing grapefruit notes with Meyer lemon and a lemon/lime burst which merges with the crisp acidity and rich texture to weave a complex, lingering, delightful taste.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "So bone dry and acidic, the tastebuds start whistling at the first sip. Defines the racy personality of Sauvignon Blanc, with a palate-stimulating tang and lime, lemongrass and mineral flavors. The best Wattle Ceeek Sauvignon Blanc ever."
Wattle Creek Winery
In March of 1994, a bit of Australia moved to California, and Sonoma County grew even more welcoming and friendlier. An Australian family brought its infectious love of life and exuberance to 56 acres of land just south of the small town of Cloverdale in Alexander Valley. This family, the Williams, also brought with them a zeal and fervor for wine, in particular wines from the Southern Hemisphere.
Led by Christopher and Kristine, the vineyard selection was anything but happenstance. They sought and discovered a piece of land reminiscent of the warm Barossa Valley of the land down under. Here, the perfect union of climate, soil, and geography permit the infusion of the best of Alexander Valley with Australian vitality and heritage of winemaking.
On the heels of the success of their Alexander Valley site, the family added an extraordinary piece of land in Mendocino's Yorkville Highlands. In 2001, under the guidance of a new Aussie winemaker for both estates, Michael Scholz, they released their first Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc. In the next few years the vineyard promises to produce fruit for a Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz as well.
This was the inception of Wattle Creek, an American winery that derives its logo and name from the yellow blossom of the Australian Wattle tree and its essence and style from Australia. View all Wattle Creek Winery Wines
About North CoastView a map of North Coast wineries
Beyond Napa and Sonoma in the north you find a couple of other counties producing great wine. Among these are Mendocino and Lake County. The northernmost California winegrowing regions, these two counties are right above Napa and Sonoma, geographically. Yet, wine-wise they are very different – both from their southern neighbors and from each other.
Notable FactsMendocino has a high amount of organic vintners and vines. The first winery to settle here was Fetzer, which practices organic viticulture and holds some of the most vineyard land in the area. Mendocino has many pockets of micro-climates while Lake County, being smaller in size, is less diverse climactically. As for the grapes, Chardonnay is the most popular in both counties, but there are also some excellent Sauvignon Blancs, particularly in the Lake County. In red wine, Zinfandel leads the way, followed by Rhone Blends and Petite Sirah. The reds in both counties are complex and sumptuous. Anderson Valley is a sub-AVA of Mendicino and is quite well known for its excellent cool climate, producing the delicious Roederer Estate sparkling wines and some wonderful cool-climate Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

It has been 25 years since CNBC first launched. To celebrate, the financial channel has released a list of the 25 most influential people in the past quarter century. Not surprisingly, the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs tops the list.
Saying that Jobs "seized his chance to change the world," CNBC announced its list, which includes business leaders and cultural icons, on Tuesday morning. A one-hour special, "CNBC 25," will air tonight at 7 p.m. EDT.
In a video vignette about the late Apple CEO, CNBC says:
Pioneer. Innovator. Tastemaker. Genius. Steve Jobs transformed the way we think about technology — and the apple. Growing up in Silicon Valley, Jobs became the oddest fusion of California's engineering and hippie cultures.
Other leaders at the top of CNBC's list includes Microsoft's Bill Gates, Ben Bernanke and Alan Greenspan, Google's Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Bogle, and Oracle's Larry Ellison.
Steve Jobs died in October 2011.

One of the two suspects in the murder of Dr. Radjabu Mbukani, 38, a former lecturer at the National University of Rwanda, who was found dead in Kigali, last week, narrated to journalists how they were allegedly hired to kill the medical doctor and later dispose of his body.
Jean Paul Cyuma, 32, and his accomplice, identified as Vital, are currently under police custody on suspicion of bludgeoning the NUR lecturer to death after they were allegedly hired by one Louise Marie, 28, the mother of his two children.
The police are also holding the woman's elder sister, Clarisse, on charges of conspiring to murder. The surnames names of the other suspects have deliberately been withheld until they appear in court.
Clad in a black leather jacket, a brown top and blue jeans, Louise Marie, was at 11a.m yesterday paraded by police before journalists alongside the other suspects, the first time she has appeared in public since her arrest last Saturday.
Speaking in Kinyarwanda in a shaky low voice, Cyuma confessed to receiving an advance payment of Rwf80, 000 from Louise to kill the medical doctor. He also named Louise's elder sister as the 'go-between' who connected the two sides.
"Clarisse told me that her sister needed an urgent service from me. I got her contacts and when we talked, she said she needed two people to kill someone and that the fee was Rwf300, 000," Cyuma narrated.
"When I shared the information with Vital, he and I got very scared, so we decided to get the money and disappear without committing the crime. But later we decided to do it because we needed all the money."
Cyuma claimed the doctor was the first person he had killed, an action he "regrets" and "hopes it never happens again."
"I am a normal cobbler who never killed anyone before and Vital is a bus conductor in Nyamirambo, we were only tempted by the money and nothing else," he added.
Cyuma explained that on Saturday December 29, last year, at about 6:30p.m, he was alerted by Louise that her husband had come home to visit and that they needed to get there on time to accomplish their mission.
"Vital and I rushed with metal bars to her home and entered the house. I hit him with a metal on the head and when he fell down, my colleague hit him with another metal in the mouth and he went silent. His wife watched this as it happened in the living room, while the children were in another room," Cyuma said.
"His wife then told us to fold the body in a sack and take it to a car which was waiting outside. We put it in the trunk and drove to Kanyinya (in Nyarugenge district) and dumped it in a forest."
As it turned out, the silver Audi A5 in which Dr. Mbukani's body was transported to the forest was the same car he had come driving on that fateful day, according to police.
Sources said that it was returned after making the trip to the forest.
However, Louise denied the allegations linking her to her husband's death, saying she had never had any contact with the two suspects.
"I miss my husband and wish he could return to me. I don't know who these two men are and don't know what they are doing here. I have nothing to do with them. I have nothing to tell you because I don't know," she told journalists.
Louise, who is a student at Kigali Independent University (ULK), also denied that she had any rift with her late husband.
However Louise's elder sister said the contrary, claiming that Louise revealed to her the plan to kill, albeit not mentioning who the target was.
"My sister contacted me that she wanted me to help her get someone who can kill a rich foreigner and take his money; I told her that it was wrong and that she would not get away with it," Clarisse argued in a confident tone.
"I thought she had given up but later she contacted me again, saying she needed two strong men to lift home equipment. So I contacted the two men and told them to talk to her, but in all honesty I did not know what she was planning or what they would eventually do."
When The New Times visited the crime scene yesterday, neighbours were still engulfed in shock and unable to understand how everything unfolded so fast without notice.
Neighbours speakout
The small two-roomed house in which the murder happened is located in a traditionally slum area in Nyamirambo, surrounded by a neighbourhood of four other small houses.
"I knew that Louise and her husband were not formally married; she told me that they had issues and had separated. She used to tell me that he was not providing her with the money and care that she wanted, but I never suspected that she would want to kill him," one neighbour said on condition of anonymity.
Another neighbour chipped in, alleging that Louise had learned that the deceased doctor was planning to marry another woman from the United States.
On the day before he died, Dr. Mbukani reported that his life was threatened by his wife, according to the sector authorities.
"He came to my office on Friday and reported that his wife had threatened to kill him. We talked to her but never got reason to arrest her, although we kept her summons for more investigation," Godans Uwitonze, in charge of Social Affairs and Development at Nyakabanda 2 Sector told The New Times.
Police confirmed that it had in the previous months received reports from Dr. Mbukani about his wife's ill-motives but investigations were conducted to no avail.
"Dr. Mbukani reported of threats twice and we took action by arresting his wife; he, however, came back and asked us to release her, saying she is the mother of his children. We then released her upon his request," Police Spokesman Supt. Theos Badege, said. "Investigations show that Louise and her husband were cohabiting. When they separated, they had an informal agreement that Dr. Mbukani would be providing Rwf200, 000 per month to take care of the children. However, they disagreed because Louise wanted more - this could have been the source of the problem," Badege said.
The sad news is still fresh in the minds of Dr. Mbukani's students at the National University of Rwanda where he taught gynaecology.
"He taught me gynaecology in my forth year, the last time we talked is when I was going for an exam and he wished me good luck. It is unbelievable that such a good man was taken away in such terrible circumstances," Ashil Manirakiza, a sixth year medicine student at NUR, said.
Police is still searching for more suspects in the case, particularly the person who drove the car that dumped Dr. Mbukani's body to the forest in Kanyinya Sector, along the Kigali-Ruhengeri road, about 10km away from the crime scene.
His blood stained body was discovered lying in the forest last Thursday by a resident of Kanyinya in Nyarugenge district, who alerted police.
This is contrary to earlier reports that the deceased's body was found hanging in a tree.

King Edward VI assigned a panel of clergymen to produce a book of uniform worship, to be used throughout the kingdom and published in the vernacular. The text of the book, which came into use from the 9th of June 1549, was influenced by royal advisor Thomas Cranmer, and remained largely traditional, incorporating only some ideas from the Protestant reformers in Europe. A second edition, incorporating more reformed ideas, was produced in 1552. One more edition was published in 1559 before the final edition of 1662 which remains in use today.

CD-ROM offered by WhatIs.com -- i.e., do you think I can become certified? And, if I actually become certified, do you think I could have gainful employment in the IT field even at the youthful age of 61? What I think doesn't matter as much as what you're willing to do for yourself if and when you should obtain such a certification. If you're both passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter -- and really learn a lot about the ins and outs of Windows -- and you can communicate those competencies to prospective employers in cover letters and interviews, your age won't matter as much as you think. You can't simply add MCSE to your resume and "Presto!" here comes a job. You must be able to sell yourself and your knowledge to get any kind of job in IT these days, and unless you're willing to go the extra mile necessary to realize your goals, you probably won't attain them.
Another way of answering your questions is to say, "Yes, I think you can do it, but it will take lots of effort above and beyond what's required simply to get an MSCE as a 'piece of paper.' It'll really have to mean something to you, and you'll have to be able to communicate that meaning to prospective employers."

It is no coincidence that references to Dickens became standard fare in the Bush years and are still relevant to the GOP. The Republicans are social Darwinists who have inherited a philosophy from the 19th Century that they've uncritically adopted as truth; because the purpose of their philosophy is to serve the rich and to let the poor know how unfit they are and what a waste it would be to keep them alive at the cost of a few pennies. This requires some Olympian gymnastic level sophistry during campaigns when the GOP needs more votes than the tiny and exclusive minority that the unfuck-ingbelievablyrich can provide, until Citizens United then, whoot! —- hegemonic power, the pinnacle of dominance which is the rightful heir of white, educated men of European descent, and formidable means. Why would they want to shake off the megalomaniacal delusions of modernism with its sexist and racists tropes that they thought was determined by nature and vindicated by scientific reasoning that somehow conveniently vindicated their conception of God, while being conveniently unaware of their own biases? They might have to consider the possibility that they are, intrinsically, no more valuable than anyone else.
Wouldn't that be a turd in the punch bowl? Poor, poor lords.
It is no coincidence that they hate postmodernism and glibly dismiss it with the overweening smugness of a man dusting dandruff off his suit. For them to understand and acknowledge that they are not all that is good and right about civilization would be a narcissistic wound deep enough to threaten their psyche. We are seeing white men in the throes of psychopathic rage, because their precious illusions are not being so willingly supported by those they have determined to be lessor, subordinate, or insignificant. Yet they conscript all those "others" to work on their behalf to provide them with recognition and comfort at the expense of those who have the least materially, and socially. How dare these lessor others speak up on their own behalf or give an account of themselves that deviates from the reigning dogma of faux Darwinian reductionism and Providence!
Unfortunately, our au currant scientificist navel gazing is also invested in an ultra-Darwinism, that is not Darwinian. Many kinds of scientists have taken it upon themselves to dabble in philosophy and have dressed it as reason that is as hostile to human survival and dignity as the most ignorant GOP House representative denying evolution. The far left, clinging to the helpless fatalism and nihilism of the Diamonds, Dawkins, and Pinkers of the world are bereft of a philosophy to help us navigate reality, much less to examine the human prospect in terms that recognize human agency, social forces, structural violence, and so on. The far left and the far right are both stuck in binaries based on a complete misunderstanding and deification of Darwin's description of evolution to the exclusion of all else— it is tyranny.
The deification of science is as faith-based as the deification of anything else, because there is no "science". There are sciences, and they all have their limitations, perspectives, and methods that don't apply outside of their domains. The belief that one has a "scientific" mind, and so is capable of pontificating objectively on any topic is so childishly megalomaniacal and toxic, that kicking it squarely in the nuts may be the best that can be done with it so that we can get on with our human lives, on our human scales, and adapt socially to the challenges ahead of us as a species that has, in a short couple of hundred years, gained the power to destroy all of our natural habitats and to carry out the wholesale murder of ourselves with the push of buttons and a twelve minute waiting period. Daydreams of inhabiting other planets is as meaningful to our survival as the dream of seventy-two virgins in heaven. It's a distracting and cowardly failure to deal with human problems as they are, without granting special dispensation to one's own pet constructions of a very narrow, and often useless summation of what is, writ large, and what that means.
It is no coincidence that they hate postmodernism and glibly dismiss it with the overweening smugness of a man dusting dandruff off his lab coat. We are seeing white men in the throes of psychopathic rage, because their precious illusions are not being so willingly supported by those they have determined to be lessor, subordinate, or insignificant— those that have not taken the opinions of particular scientists, pontificating out of their league, as a cloak of superior knowledge and reason itself that excuses them from all other methods of observation— especially the questioning of themselves. Having to consider their special knowledge to be only a small part of the human project? Having to admit that most of what they espouse in neither rational nor authoritative in any revolutionary way?
Wouldn't that be a cockblocking buzz kill? Poor, poor dudebros.
On the far left, and far right, reductionism rules the day. We cannot live in these winner take all abstractions. We need to keep talking about human realities in all their complexity among all humans. Until we grant ourselves permission to address our selves and all others without clinging to some abstraction that is richly rewarded with wealth and prestige, in an effort to give ourselves and all others dignity that should not have been denied in the first place, we will remain atomized, feeling helpless, paranoid, and trapped in mean and wasteful competition.
What say we tell ourselves that we are all human, that we all have intrinsic value, that none of us need to justify our existence, that we are enough— all of us are enough and all of us are capable of growing and adapting to the good of all. If we learn to deal with our realities without thinking it necessary to give "others" a bum deal, we just might make it out of most of the man-made messes that are bearing down on us right now. We just might find out that most of us are smarter than we've been told we are and that we cannot move confidently and wholly into the world and the future without giving ourselves permission to fully embrace that we are enough and we can become more— because that's what humans do. Social evolution is not the domain of any ultimate authority, it is the birthright of all of us and everything that is human.
