Prop B puts restrictions on Missouri dog breeders
Tuesday, October 26, 2010
A ballot initiative in Missouri that would create stricter laws for commercial dog breeders has pitted animal rights activists who call Missouri the "puppy mill capital of the nation" against those who claim the measure could put breeders out of business.
Proposition B, which is on the Nov. 2 ballot, would beef up Missouri's current laws in part by restricting commercial breeders to no more than 50 breeding dogs, increasing the size of dogs' living spaces and by requiring that commercial breeders have their dogs examined each year by a veterinarian.
The measure, which would not apply to breeders with fewer than 10 female breeding dogs, would also create the misdemeanor crime of puppy mill cruelty for violations.
Supporters, like the Humane Society of the U.S., say the measure is needed to help police the 1,400 licensed commercial dog breeders in Missouri, which also has hundreds of suspected unlicensed breeders.
Animal rights groups have estimated that about 30 percent to 40 percent of dogs found in pet stores come from Missouri.
"Missouri has the reputation of puppy mill capital of the country for a reason," said Cori Menkin, spokeswoman for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which helped draft Proposition B.
"It has more puppy mills than any other state in the country, so improving the standard of care of dogs in large commercial breeding facilities there will impact more dogs than any other state."
Opponents of Proposition B, including breeder groups and the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association, claim the measure could force some breeders out of business with extra costs and the threat of prosecution for violations. Some also claim the measure could lead to restrictions on other animal agriculture.
"We already have laws in Missouri that require adequate food, water, shelter, care, exercise, etc.," said Anita Andrews, spokeswoman for Alliance For Truth, which has been fighting Proposition B.
"So the only difference between this law and the current law we have is that it makes it a misdemeanor crime of cruelty where breeders can be put in jail for things as stupid as having a piece of dog food in a water bowl," she said.
"Their goal really is to stop agribusiness in any form."
Barbara Schmitz, campaign manager for Missourians for the Protection of Dogs, a coalition of several animal rights groups working to support Proposition B, said concerns about such things as prosecutions over food in water bowls are "a distortion."
"You can take any language that's being proposed, and then you can stomp, twist or beat it into saying anything you want," Schmitz said. "The reality is this is a common sense measure, and it will be enforced in a common sense manner."
And, Proposition B would only affect dogs at large-scale breeding facilities, she said.
"It's a single subject, and that subject is puppy mills," Schmitz said. "There is no other agenda."
Jon Hagler, director of the Missouri Department of Agriculture, said since 2009, when Gov. Jay Nixon took office, Missouri has taken steps to improve oversight of dog breeders.
The department started Operation Bark Alert, a hotline to target unlicensed and substandard breeders, and also added two new inspectors. Since then, Missouri issued about 366 more breeder violations than the previous year, according to the department.
There are also about 350 fewer breeders now in Missouri than there were before January 2009, and the state has rescued about 3,700 dogs, the department said.
"There's a lot of rhetoric flying around," Hagler said. "We have an exceptional program."
Hagler also took exception to calling Missouri the "puppy mill capital."
"I think that's an unfortunate label that again has much to do with the fact that we started tracking before anybody else. We've kept a program intact longer than anyone else," he said.
Hagler, who said he and the department don't take positions on ballot measures, said the current animal welfare laws in Missouri are "great."
"That's not to say they cannot be tweaked. That's not to say they couldn't be improved. But a lot of these things, we have been able to address administratively."
Hagler also said it's not clear that restricting breeders to fewer than 50 breeding dogs will increase quality of care.
"Size and quality are not correlated together," he said. "Sometimes larger facilities are able to provide more resources and staff."
Schmitz, however, said the current laws are inadequate, and Proposition B is needed to set a standard of care for dogs at facilities, both licensed and unlicensed.
"The law is so vague that it allows the facility if it wants to cut corners," she said. "We're trying to tighten this up significantly."
Tami Cotton, who said she breeds boxers in southwest Missouri, opposes Proposition B, even though it would not apply to her because she has fewer than 10 breeding dogs.
"I think it's just a crock," she said. "I know there are puppy mills out there, but I also think they're trying to shut down the good people, and I think that's wrong."
Proposition B
On Nov. 2, Missourians will vote on Proposition B, which would apply to owners with more than 10 female breeding dogs.
WHAT'S AT STAKE? If Proposition B passes, commercial dog breeders would, among other things, be required to have increased space for dogs, limit the time between dogs' breeding cycles and have no more than 50 breeding dogs. Violators would be subject to the misdemeanor crime of "puppy mill cruelty."
CRITICS/SUPPORTERS: The measure has been opposed by the Missouri Veterinary Medical Association and some breeder groups. Proposition B supporters include the Humane Society of the U.S. and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Name That Lizard!
Hey folks, my girlfriend has just bought two baby bearded dragons, and has yet to name them, and keeps asking me for advice then saying no, and i'm seriously running out of ideas here. We don't know what sex they are yet (apparantly you can't tell till they are older, they are only 2 days old at the moment) so she wants unisex names. Help me please. She said something about wanting an australian sounding name cos that's where they are from originally. She rejected Bruce and Sheila. Hope you can put your creative heads together and help us out here!
Not unisex I know, but the only Australian names I can think of are Kylie and Jason :lol:
how bout Roo and Liz
Mulder and Scully
Mario and Luigi
R2D2 and C3PO
Bert and Ernie
Darth Vadar and Luke Skywalker
Bush and Blair
Leiah and Han
Sonny and Cher
Rolph Harris and Steve Irwin (only 2 Australians I know)
No clue what to name them. But I absolutely love bearded dragons! How big of a tank do you have them in? Or what do you have waiting for them...
how about juhan?
Lots of ideas there folks, thanks! I'll try not sure if she'll go for some of them them she's a fussy so and so (but i loves her anyway :wink:). Hellow - i Like Juhan, it's not a name i've heard before - does it have a meaning / background. and Julie, do i detect a bit of latent geekyness in those suggestions... I'm not sure the missus would forgive me if i suggested R2D2 and C3P0! (i quite like them though.) But even i'd draw the line at Kylie and Jason (sorry kateyoup, i just can't bring myself to do it! :lol: )
...I've been called many a thing in my life...
...and geeky is certainly one of them! :D
Ok, despite all your helpful suggestions she's gone for Sparticus and Archimedes (very australian in know...) No idea why, i had to explain to her who they were, she just liked the sounds! Thanks anyway folks!
Ahh well - nice names anyway.
My next suggestion was going to be Falina and Rohrak. Failing that I was going to direct you to a random elf-name generator :)

According to one report we received, Crowe and Kalisto were wrestling NXT Tag Team champions The Ascension when Crowe performed a head scissors takedown and injured his leg. The match was stopped and Crowe was taken to a hospital locally for testing.
Crowe joked the injury was "such a great birthday present" on Twitter. There's no word on how long he'll be out of action as of this writing.
Thanks to Jonathan Balofsky for his help.

Program 3219

Program 3220
3/17/06: Is the governor losing political muscle? And why is the Senate hacked off at the courts? (#3220)
Program 3222

Program 3228
5/12/06: Three misdemeanor counts in an indictment of Gov. Fletcher. What do we have here? Evidence of political wrongdoing, or of political ineptitude? And as for the attorney generals office: Just doing their duty, or is it partisan politics in a world, where, as they say, a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich? (#3228)
Program 3229
5/19/06: The Supreme Court upholds the governor's pardon powers. But elsewhere, Republicans are under siege. (#3229)
Program 3232

Program 3234
6/23/06: A special session to fix small business taxes—but why do they need fixing? The flap over Chief Justice Joseph Lambert's Fletcher footnote—a signal for acquittal? And global warming—coal takes a lot of blame, and Kentuckians feel the heat. (#3234)

10/27/06: Less than two weeks before the election, Democrats are breathing down the necks of incumbent Republicans in three Kentucky races for Congress. Former President Bill Clinton stumps in Louisville, where John Yarmuth has drawn ahead of incumbent Anne Northup. Northup breaks with President Bush and says Rumsfeld should be fired. The Kentucky legislature may stay the same—Republican in the Senate and Democrat in the House—but who's certain? (#3252)
Program 3303
11/17/06: State Auditor Crit Luallen and Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson are out of the Democratic race for governor. So even with low, low ratings and a critical grand jury report, is Gov.

Program 3312
1/19/07: Can a Republican woman from Louisville defeat an incumbent from Lexington and another challenger from Paducah in a primary race for governor? Or, to put it another way, can the second Republican governor since World War II hold onto his seat despite low poll ratings that have brought out several opponents in both major political parties? And if this is Anne Northup's week to make the news, will Speaker Jody Richards make the headlines next week? (#3312)
Program 3313
1/26/07: The new tickets are Richards and Brown, Henry and True, and Gatewood and friend. The hot buzz for the weekend is that Bruce Lunsford and Greg Stumbo may announce Monday. And two others announced earlier. So who are the Democrats to beat? (#3313)
Program 3315
2/9/07: The candidates are out of the gate. The governor reaches for the lead with two speeches. His rivals are running on the governor�s record, or rather against it. And, what are the citizens of Kentucky getting, policy or politics? (#3315)

Program 3321
3/23/07: Is Big Blue basketball too much for Coach Tubby Smith—and too much for Kentucky's own good? The pension clash is a cliffhanger, and the fate of favored projects is in doubt in the final days of the legislative session. And we present notes from a reporter's handbook on how citizens can play the game of politics by asking the right questions. (#3321)
Program 3410
1/4/08: The governor declares a Kentucky "budget crisis" and announces cuts across much of state government.

The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is teaming up with New Yorkers for Parks (NY4Parks) and public housing residents of the Governor DeWitt Clinton Houses to kick off The Daffodil Project plantings beginning in Manhattan on October 25. Plantings will take place at NYCHA in each of the five boroughs. This first-ever partnership between NYCHA's Gardening and Greening Program and NY4Parks will focus on increasing environmental awareness and resident engagement to preserve both the environment and New York City communities. The first event at the Clinton Houses includes area school children and the neighboring East Harlem community.
"This is a great opportunity to move NYCHA's Green Agenda forward and to work to increase resident participation in making their developments and communities greener with this exciting collaboration with New Yorkers for Parks," said NYCHA Chairman John B. Rhea. "Clinton Houses and the other NYCHA sites that will receive these generous donations of daffodil bulbs will benefit from plantings that will beautify their open spaces and serve to unite them under one common cause—the well-being of their community."
"This project is an example of what we can accomplish when we come together as a community to improve the overall quality of life," said NYCHA Board Member and Environmental Coordinator Margarita López. "Green spaces such as these not only beautify the neighborhoods, but they purify the air creating a healthier environment for us all."
"We're thrilled to partner with Chairman Rhea, Commissioner López and NYCHA'S Gardening and Greening Program by giving NYCHA residents in every borough the opportunity to participate in the Daffodil Project and become stewards of their public spaces," said New Yorkers for Parks Executive Director Holly Leicht. "The Daffodil Project remains a powerful memorial to 9/11, but also has become a symbol of civic pride and community volunteerism. Its spirit is defined by the thousands of New Yorkers who join together to make their neighborhoods and their city a more beautiful place to live."
NYCHA's Garden and Greening Program will be in charge of distributing bulbs and recruiting resident volunteers and area students for plantings during the fall. Their efforts will yield a bountiful blooming of the yellow flowers in the spring, creating vast fields of gold throughout NYCHA developments city-wide. The initial daffodil plantings will continue through the beginning of November.
The Daffodil Project was founded in 2001 as a living memorial to September 11. It began when Dutch bulb supplier Hans van Waardenburg reached out to NY4Parks to find out what he could do to show his support of New Yorkers during this horrific tragedy. Around the same time, former New York City Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe had a similar idea of planting yellow daffodils – the color of remembrance – across the city. The three formed a partnership with the Dutch government, and The Daffodil Project was born. The following fall, more than 10,000 volunteers joined NY4P to initiate the Project.
In 2007, Mayor Bloomberg named the daffodil the city's official flower in recognition of the millions of daffodils that had bloomed every spring since 2001.With nearly five million free bulbs planted citywide by more than 40,000 school children, parks and gardening groups, civic organizations, corporate volunteers and other New Yorkers, it is one of the largest volunteer efforts in the city's history. Today, the initiative remains a powerful memorial, but also has become a symbol of civic pride and unity. Its spirit is defined by the thousands of New Yorkers who join together to make their neighborhoods, and their city, a more beautiful place to live.
NYCHA and NY4Parks plan to host The Daffodil Project planting sessions with public housing residents in each of the following developments from November 5th to 9th, from 3pm-5pm:
Monday, November 5, 2012Gun Hill Community Center, 745 Magenta Street Bronx, NY 10467
Staten Island
Wednesday, November 7, 2012Todt Hill Community Center, 255 Westwood Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10314
Thursday, November 8, 2012Tilden Houses Community Center, 630 Mother Gaston Blvd., Brooklyn, NY 11212
Friday, November 9, 2012Astoria Houses Community Center, 4-05 Astoria Blvd, Queens, NY 11102

Log Cabin case against DADT continues forward
Timothy Kincaid
January 29th, 2011
For decades our community has fought for our right to serve in the US Military on the same terms as anyone else. And finally, we have a timeline, a near future, in which such a scenario seems likely. And for most of us, the end to this offensive and unnecessary ban is more important than the way in which it is ended. Just so long as the long wait is over.
But the manner by which Don't Ask, Don't Tell – and the pre-existing ban is moderated – comes to a halt has a great deal of impact on other matters of importance to our community. There are both positives and negatives to both the judicial and the legislative solution.
If the courts strike this ban down as discriminatory, then it sets continuing precedent that anti-gay discrimination is in violation to the US Constitution. But this can have the effect of appearing to be "judicial activism" overriding the will of the people's elected legislature and can be ammunition for the social conservatives' attack on the US judicial system.
If the legislature provides resolution, this gives a blessing to the solution as being "of the people", but it also leaves the matter open to future reversals. Additionally, the current projected termination of the anti-gay policy does not prohibit discrimination, it simply ceases the institutionalization of the practice. Of concern is also a threat by some Republicans in the incoming House to find a way to block implementation of the repeal.
Fortunately (and this really rarely happens) we have both legislative and judicial solutions. Congress has voted to reverse DADT and the President is projecting a short implementation. But also, the Federal Court has found that DADT – or, indeed, any arbitrary ban on gay soldiers – violates the US Constitution. And the timing of such is that they are both occurring simultaneously.
In September of last year, Judge
Victoria Virginia Phillips found that DADT is unconstitutional. The government appealed, and has been actively fighting that decisions since. Even after Congress acted to reverse DADT during the lame duck session, the government requested that the proceedings be stayed until the ban was lifted and the case become moot.
As I noted above, that would not be in our best interest. And yesterday
Judge Phillips the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied those efforts and set a schedule for the case to continue:
The opposed motion to hold these appeals in abeyance is denied. The briefing schedule is reset as follows: the government's opening brief and excerpts of record are due February 25, 2011; Log Cabin Republicans' answering brief and supplemental excerpts of record are due March 28, 2011; and the government's reply brief is due 14 days after service of the answering brief.
The best of all possible worlds would be for the courts to conclusively determine that any ban on open gay service is unconstitutional (for the appeal to be denied or dropped) but for the President's timeline to be administered. It looks as though this is a possibility.

The mechanisms by which common genetic variation predisposes to type 2 diabetes remain unclear. The disease-associated variants in TCF7L2 (rs7903146) and WFS1 (rs10010131) have been shown to affect response to exogenous glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), while variants in KCNQ1 (rs151290, rs2237892, and rs2237895) alter endogenous GLP-1 secretion. We set out to validate these observations using a model of GLP-1–induced insulin secretion. We studied healthy individuals using a hyperglycemic clamp and GLP-1 infusion. In addition, we measured active and total GLP-1 in response to an oral challenge in nondiabetic subjects. After genotyping the relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms, generalized linear regression models and repeated-measures ANCOVA models incorporating potential confounders, such as age and BMI, were used to assess the associations, if any, of response with genotype. These variants did not alter GLP-1 concentrations in response to oral intake. No effects on β-cell responsiveness to hyperglycemia and GLP-1 infusion were apparent. Diabetes-associated variation (T allele at rs7903146) in TCF7L2 may impair the ability of hyperglycemia to suppress glucagon (45 ± 2 vs. 47 ± 2 vs. 60 ± 5 ng/L for CC, CT, and TT, respectively, P = 0.02). In nondiabetic subjects, diabetes-associated genetic variation does not alter GLP-1 concentrations after an oral challenge or its effect on insulin secretion.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforces federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration to promote homeland security and public safety. (read more)
ICE consists of three directorates to accomplish the agency's mission, including Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Management and Administration (M&A).
ICE executes its mission through the enforcement of more than 400 federal statutes, and focuses on smart immigration enforcement, preventing terrorism and combating the illegal movement of people and trade. (read more)
ICE's primary mission is to promote homeland security and public safety through the criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade and immigration.
Catch up on ICE's most popular news stories from the week ending March 25, 2016
Learn more about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including facts about investigations, immigration enforcement and removal operations, and management and administration information. (read more)
To ensure openness and transparency and to better serve those seeking more information about ICE and its operations, the agency centralized processing of all ICE-related Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in a single office.
Cooperating with international partners is essential to protecting the global supply chain and the safety of American citizens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is partnering with the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to form Program Global Shield. This program aims to thwart the smuggling of precursor chemicals that could be used to build improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which are weapons commonly used against American troops and U.S. interests overseas.
What started in November 2010, as a 6-month pilot project, Program Global Shield, is now a long-term WCO program. Nearly 100 countries and international organizations are now sharing information on 14 precursor chemicals used for IEDs. This was the first time that the international community, as a whole, addressed the threat posed by these dangerous precursor chemicals. With real-time information and intelligence sharing, partners are now better equipped to identify whether or not shipments are legitimate. Other key components of Program Global Shield include interdiction, investigative efforts, training, and industry outreach.
The Counter-Proliferation Investigations Unit housed within Homeland Security Investigations's (HSI) National Security Investigations Division (NSID) oversees this ICE-led project. Along with the international partners, HSI has teamed with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Program Global Shield. HSI and CBP also work with other federal entities to effectively accomplish this mission.
Program Global Shield has three main goals that it seeks to accomplish:

Annotations for
Worst of Friends : Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and the True Story of an American Feud
Baker & Taylor
A lighthearted tribute to the historical partnership of two Founding Fathers offers insight into their clashing personalities and disparate views about a fledgling United States, describing how their strained friendship led to the creation of opposing political parties.
Baker & Taylor
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson have differences, but put them aside in the name of friendship.
Baker & Taylor
Presents a tribute to the partnership of two founding fathers, offering insight into their clashing personalities and different views about a fledgling United States and describing how their relationship led to the creation of opposing political parties.
Penguin Putnam
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were good friends with very different personalities. But their differing views on how to run the newly created United States turned them into the worst of friends. They each became leaders of opposing political parties, and their rivalry followed them to the White House. Full of both history and humor, this is the story of two of America's most well-known presidents and how they learned to put their political differences aside for the sake of friendship.


text: Members of the Teamwork and Social Cognition Laboratory conduct research on teamwork from the perspective of social cognition. We investigate the antecedents and consequences of emergent cognitive properties in work teams. That is, we examine how what team members think about their team and the team's processes affects the performance of the team. Team mental models are the cognitive representations (conceptualizations/schemas) of teamwork processes that are shared among team members. They include mental models of team roles, tasks, communication patterns, tools, norms, etc. Research shows that team members having shared mental models (SMMs) increases team performance; we therefore investigate how SMMs develop, as well ways to facilitate their development. Transactive memory in a team has also been shown to increase team performance. Transactive memory refers to "who knows what" on a team. A transactive memory system (TMS) is this knowledge of team member expertise distributed across the team members. Entitativity refers to the extent to which team members consider their team to be a unified entity, rather than just an aggregate of members. Perceptions of entitativity in a team impact team members' perceived team efficacy. Group identification is the extent to which team members perceive team goals to be their own goals and conceived of their team as an important part of their self-concept. Team members with higher levels of team identification typically are more loyal to the group and persistent with respect to team tasks. Situation awareness (SA) refers to the ability of team members to "see the big picture" and understand the needs of the team as a whole and members as individuals. Team members with situation awareness are better able to coordinate their activities with those of other team members.

"I'm definitely staying in MotoGP. Just need to figure out what bike, what team" - Nicky Hayden.
Nicky's got some nice options, for sure.
Wherever he goes NH will work hard, give his all for the team, be a good ambassador and he will never criticise his team in public.....unlike some others who forget how lucky they are to be in MotoGP
The Honda production option would be the most favourable surely. Casey reckons it could be competitive with a few set up adjustments. Nicky's style is proven on the Honda too. I hope he has wings next season!
If Hayden stays in MotoGP he'll just fade away along with guys like Edwards. Before the advanced electronics of today, rider skill could pilot a fairly uncompetitive MotoGP bike onto the podium (look at Roberts Jnr on the KR211V in 2006 and Rossi on the M1 in 2004) but these days you need the best machine to make it onto the podium. The best machine can even be termed a satellite bike like Crutchlow's Yamaha and Bradel's Honda, but beyond that, no CRT bike has been competitive enough in a full race. I'd prefer to see Hayden move to WSBK where he could even win the championship there
The Honda bike will be restricted to not be competitive with the factory and satellite Hondas, the Aprilia will be as quick as the engineers are able to make it, but possibly still slower than the Honda.It's a gamble either way but at least the Aprilia dice isn't loaded.
So basically now there's a high chance of Aprilia pulling the plug on its MotoGP intentions all together? That's sad. Wonder if it has anything with them all but losing the WSBK to Sykes/Kawasaki... An all new RSV4 is supposed to be out next year as well so they might be focusing their development on that... but who knows!
There's only 4 bikes in with any chance of winning and we all know who's on them!
Barring catastrophe or injury there are only 4 riders capable of winning so things are very consistent.
Good to know that his heart still lies in MotoGP, but I am sure that he is also disappointed with the appointment of Luigi to Ducati. However, I'm not sure if Iannone's 2014 option contract was exercised. There is still a possibility for Hayden to be on a Ducati whether that is with Pramac or customer version. Seems like the customer version can use a different set of tires and fuel allowances. If that is the case, maybe and I mean just maybe the Ducati can rise above the 8-10th places to 5-7th. On the other hand, putting him on a Honda proddy can surely elevate him in certain tracks anywhere from 4-7th places. This is very interesting indeed. Not to mention that Suzuki is also right around the corner for 2015. I am hoping that they will at least speak to Hayden.

Prime time for Cape Verde hurricanes
We are entering prime time for the "Cape Verde hurricanes." An average of two of these storms form each year, most in August and September, and usually within 600 miles of the Cape Verde islands, off West Africa. They gain strength as they cross the Atlantic. Some move into the Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico (Ike 2008). But others sweep up the Atlantic Coast, threatening coastal communities from Florida (Andrew 1992), the Carolinas (Hugo 1989) to New England (1938).

April 29, 2016
The pharmacy director at UNC Hospitals was removed from his position after state auditors said he double-billed the state for travel expenses and submitted his son's travel and cell phone bill.
An auditor's report said James C. McAllister III submitted expense claims ($3,573) for travel and cell phone charges of his son, a pharmacy student at the university. The report said McAllister also received more than 11-hundred dollars in duplicate expense claims.
McAllister's status was active, and a university spokesman says personnel processes are being reviewed. A telephone message left at a phone listed to James McAllister wasn't returned.

How do you know its right?
How do you know this is your soul mate?
How do you know this is what really turns you on?
How do you know you can trust yourself to know if its true or not?
After years of being in this fantasy world, where nothing is what it seems, fantasies of any kind can be fulfilled at any moment; this world that is so far removed from the actual world we live in. When I'm in this world its like I walked into a chapter from The Chronicles of Narnia. When I step out of this mystical world for a fresh of breath air, I actually feel like I'm choking. Like a fish out of water. After 5 years I have changed. In a way that is now opposite of what I was when I entered this world. I used to feel out of place like I didn't belong, I didn't understand anything or anyone. I felt like the freak at the freak-show. Now its normal. When I'm not in this smutty world I feel like an outsider, I'm not a normal person anymore. I've evolved into something greater than "normal" and that my friend is beautiful.
This urge to write a blog came from some completely different idea, but once I start writing I kind of let my fingers take over and allow my brain to release whatever its been holding back, so enjoy.
Seriously though. In this day and age, how do we know what to believe is real vs. what is what we wish to be real?
I'll tell you.
Sit down, alone.
Put on some music or be in a completely silent room.
Listen to your breathing, your heart beat, get your heart in tune with your body and mind.
Ask yourself the question you desire, and deep down you hold the answer.
Sometimes it takes shutting off the whole world and any influence and really listening to yourself.
**When you don't like something and someone offers it to you, right away you say no. If you are not sure if you want any at the moment you hesitate to think if you want it now. When you need an answer try what I mentioned above and you'll be surprised how quickly you will know the truth.**
I think between the current events in my life and the things my loved ones have told me about life and my future… well I guess I just go to thinking and I had the urge to write… it may not even make sense but I kind of promised myself I'd start writing more again.
If you'd like to respond you may but no pressure😉
Have a beautiful day, do something to pay it forward today! :))

May 4, 2016
TALLAHASSE, Fla. (AP) -- Industrial consumers are questioning replacement power costs Progress Energy Florida wants customers to pay while a crippled nuclear reactor is out of commission.
That issue dominated a Public Service Commission hearing Monday but was not resolved.
The panel, though, approved changes in 2013 fuel, conservation, purchased power and other annually adjusted recovery charges for three smaller companies.
The rate for a Tampa Electric Co. customer using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month, which is about average, will drop by $4.32 for a total bill of $102.58.
For Gulf Power Co., a $1.78 increase will raise the monthly total to $118.39.
Customers in the Florida Public Utilities Co. Northwest Division will see their bills go up by 70 cents to $135.34. The rate will increase $5.28 to $134.35 in the Northeast Division.

Disney City Girl
It's more life another take of the famous simulation game, Sims. But this one incorporates a lighter approach of the same genre. Disney City Girl, is somehow imitating real life journeys of young people embarking on an endeavor in the big city. On this game, players will take the shoes of a young girl from the countryside who recently arrived in NY City and the hope of pursuing a brand and grand city life, but fortunately your alone you will accompanied by your friends who have the same idea and dreams as being pursued by the main character of the game.
Luckily, it's easy to keep yourself busy and happy in Disney City Girl. Sleep or rest when you're tired; work when you need a little self-worth; talk to your girlfriends when you're lonely, and bathe when you start smelling a little ripe. True to most Facebook games that follow the life of budding socialites, Disney City Girl also offers a wide range of wardrobe options for work and play.
So as mentioned, this game is somehow a trimmed version of The Sims. With the same game like the ability to re/decorate characters home, look for a job (at the moment there are only two job options a chef or a fashion designer but more jobs are coming in the near future) and work to reach the top corporate position. Also characters are bound to have fun in this game too, they need to eat, socialize and do some shopping (yep just like The Sims). Needs are metered with each specific icons. Just beware of the red line of the meter though, for it will bring sad results.
The game is not as complicated and meticulous compare that of The Sims. Disney City Girl only needs some little time and effort to keep up some needs. Like sleep or rest when tire, work when need of a little self-worth, socialize with friends when bored or lonely or bathe when your smell tells you too. And just like any FB game, Disney City Girl
Although is not really original game plot, Disney City Girl rather makes a cute take of the older game label of the genre. Young players who love games with fashion and socialization elements will surely enjoy this label as this one boast polished graphics, very interesting characters and load or multitudes or wardrobe.
The game incorporates socialization in its core. So it is imperative that you should have a considerable number of friends in the game to help you progress in some aspect of the game.

Tori Spelling cries tears of joyTori Spelling burst into tears as she renewed her wedding vows to husband Dean McDermott at the weekend.
The '90210' actress and her spouse re-affirmed their love for one another on Saturday (08.05.10) whilst stood in a sandpit in a private ceremony at a Beverly Hills house.
Tori wore a low-back strapless white dress as she walked down the aisle with their 23-month-old daughter Stella to a waiting Dean and the couple's three-year-old son Liam.
The couple - who first wed in a private ceremony on a beach in Fiji in May 2006 - held hands and gazed at each other lovingly as they repeated their original vows while their young children played in the sand at their feet.
According to Us Weekly magazine, the 36-year-old actress "was teary-eyed as she read hers. Then they rinsed their wedding rings in the ocean water from the buckets and received the traditional vow exchange. "
During the romantic ritual, Dean, 43, presented the blonde star with a bespoke diamond-encrusted eternity ring by jewelry designer Neil Lane.
Towards the end of the service the pair gave their young offspring matching gold bracelets to mark the occasion.
Tori and Dean then kissed as guests threw handfuls of white feathers in the air around them.
The event was especially significant for Tori, who was joined on her special day by her mother Candy - who she recently reconciled with following several years of estrangement.
At a party after the day's romantic ceremony, the blonde actress told Candy: "Thank you so much for coming."
