© Isabelle Francais/I-5 Publishing People believe many misconceptions about ferrets, mainly because ferrets aren't well-known like dogs and cats.
People familiar with ferrets know at least some of the wild misconceptions about ferrets. And many ferret enthusiasts are weary of the constant battle they fight to dispel such misconceptions. The best weapons in this fight? Remaining calm and focusing on educating others about ferrets. Also, keeping an open mind. Some stereotypes don't just come out of thin air, but originate from a grain of truth.
What are these misconceptions? Let's explore 10 common ones.
1. Ferrets Are Rodents
People commonly think ferrets are rodents that are very closely related to rats. "I get a lot of calls where people have come into contact with wild weasels here. People don't know the difference," said Robin Jones, a ferret owner and rescuer. "And many people just flat don't know what ferrets are period. I get asked, 'What kind of animal is that?'"
People mistake ferrets for many things, such as large rats, weasels and, my personal favorite, baby wolverines. Ferret people are mischievous and often fight the urge to joke around and make up their own ridiculous names. I've had a giggle or two referring to them as very rare Polish cats while trying to break the ice with people who ask what the long, furry thing in my arms is. The joke being that ferrets are likely a descendant of the European polecat.
2. Ferrets Are Wild
Ferrets can be wild animals, but not wild in the sense that they are untamed and undomesticated. They are wild in the good sense of the word, meaning they are outrageously fun, active, acrobatic, little balls of chaos. They are no doubt God's little clowns.
The domestic ferret, Mustela furo, is and never was found in the wild. Domestic ferrets cannot survive outdoors for very long, because they lack the instincts and skills to do so. In addition, they can succumb to extreme cold, while higher temperatures (above 85 degrees Fahrenheit) can be deadly to them.
3. Ferrets Are Nocturnal
Ferrets are not nocturnal, they are crepuscular (most active during dawn and dusk), but they do sleep a lot. Domestic ferrets have been bred over the centuries to be good companion animals for people and are right at home fitting into our daily lives.
4. Ferrets Carry Rabies
As often is the case, some people fear the unknown, which can lead to jumping to some pretty outrageous conclusions. I have come across people who assume ferrets carry all sorts of disease. However, this simply is not true.
Phyllis Spy, president of Massachusetts Ferret Friends, a ferret club and rescue, reports that there is a widespread belief that ferrets are carriers of rabies. The fact is that ferrets are unlikely to become infected and are very poor carriers of the disease. Rabies is only transferred through saliva from a bite that punctures the skin. Ferrets usually die from the disease before it can shed in their saliva. You'll be happy to know that there has never been a recorded incident of a person contracting rabies from a ferret.
5. It's OK To Feed Any Food To Ferrets
Unfortunately, the belief that a ferret can eat pretty much anything or live on rabbit or dog food can prove to be extremely harmful to ferrets. Donna Spirito, a ferret shelter operator and co-founder of The Educated Ferret Association in Massachusetts, said that people often tell her that they feed their ferrets fruits, vegetables, chocolate, candy, soda, raisins and more. "[People think] it is OK to give it to them, because they like it," Spirito said.
Every single item on that list is unhealthy for a ferret and some of them can be fatal. Ferrets are obligate carnivores. This means their gastrointestinal system is specialized for digesting meat and is unable to digest vegetable protein. Death due to an intestinal blockage from fruit or veggie consumption is excruciatingly long and painful. In fact, a ferret can become extremely unhealthy and be at risk of dying just from not eating kibble that is high enough in protein. Ferret food should be at least 36 percent animal protein; however, a higher percentage is better.
6. Ferrets Can Life Their Life In A Cage
This could not be further from the truth. "[Ferrets] need time out of the cage to play," said Jon Spelbring of Illinois. "Many of the people I've talked to assume that ferrets, like hamsters or rats, should stay in their cages most of the time. Many people, even some ferret owners, don't realize how smart and inquisitive they are. With that intelligence comes a need for stimulation — play."
Just like any other living being, ferrets enjoy the outdoors. But be aware, you cannot turn them loose outside and expect them to come back. Before taking your ferret outdoors, make sure its shots are up to date and that it is well protected from outside pests.
7. Ferrets Don't Require Veterinary Care
What shots, you ask? You were told that your baby ferret had already been given shots and that it would rarely need veterinary care? Kiss those myths goodbye. Ferrets need regularly scheduled rabies and distemper shots, as well as checkups from a veterinarian. In addition, ferrets also need to be protected from fleas, ticks, heartworm and other parasites, just like a dog or cat.
8. Ferrets Have Potty Habits Like A Cat
Many people believe that ferrets will use a litter box just like a cat. That is only partially true. Yes, ferrets do use litter boxes. Some ferrets are good at it too. But some ferrets miss the box quite a bit. That is just a reality of owning a ferret.
Another reality is that ferrets potty frequently, sometimes every two hours. Possibly that is one of the reasons some people believe they are dirty. "Ferrets are very clean creatures," said Anne Kaelber of Arizona. "They don't like to poop in messy spots, so they continually find clean spots to go in. The cleaner the spot they like is, the less likely they are to find a new spot!"
9. Ferrets Stink!
Possibly the most annoying myth to ferret lovers is that ferrets stink. Alexandra Busch of Kentucky thinks it is the most misunderstood thing about ferrets. "People seem to think that it's like having an animal that's been sprayed by a skunk running around your home," she said.
Ferrets do have a unique odor that is unlike any other pet. Because it is alien to most people, it can be interpreted as being a bad smell. But they might think the same about a dog if they had never been around one before.
Ferret odor is very easy to control by frequently changing their bedding, feeding them a high-quality diet, cleaning their ears and bathing them every few months.
10. Ferrets Bite And Are Mean!
This is one of the most common and negative myths surrounding ferrets, but this stereotype does have a tiny grain of truth.
Ferrets use their mouths as much as a human baby. Because of their high intelligence and curiosity, ferrets seek out information in any way they can by using every sense and physical tool available. This is how they explore their environment, stimulate their brain and gather knowledge. The belief that ferrets are vicious biters probably emanates from this behavior, coupled with the perception that their teeth are large in proportion to the size of their heads. Their teeth are actually smaller than a kitten's, and their actual bite strength is not anything unusual.
Fear can lead people to leap from one assumption to another. The strangest of all rumors about ferrets is the notion that they eat babies. In fact, ferrets are far less likely to bite than a dog, cat, rabbit or even a person. Dogs are five times more likely to bite, and their bite is far more damaging. The press loves to sensationalize those rare instances when ferrets bit children. No baby should be left unattended with any type of pet, doing so poses great danger to both the baby and the pet.
So, ferret enthusiasts, if you hear people spouting a barrage of offensive or silly "facts" about ferrets, keep calm and work to peel away the myths, rumors and misunderstandings. Afterward, everyone will see our old friend, the ferret. And ferrets are by far more exciting and marvelous than any animal people might forge from misconceptions.

My family and I spent a week at Bird's-Eye View B&B this summer. It was a lovely, well kept home and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The large room had two queen beds plus a single for my teenage grandson. Darryl and Jody are wonderful hosts and great cooks! We will definitely return to Bird's-Eye View.

I have had the occasion to stay at Birds eye view twice. First was in September of 2015. Second was in March of 2016 while visiting my son and his family. I have had enough of the hotels in my travels and I have stayed at other B & B's. Darryl and Jodi are excellent host. The location is just remote enough, 5 mile from the shopping and dinning district and 2 mile from Bremerton, the B & B sets on top of a hill in a residential setting. When the sun rises on the Olympic Mountains range, what a beautiful view. Breakfast was served according to my schedule, wonderfully prepared and quite delicious. Darryl and Jodi have been exceptionally accommodating to me needs and schedule. I can not say enough about how I was welcomed. I have stayed in two different rooms which are beautifully decorated with antiques, very comfortable beds. The B & B was built in 1998, yet the decor throughout lends to the rustic. There is a history and story for all the detail that went into the construction. The pics online are beautiful. You need to see it in person.

Sharon and I found the Bird's-Eye Nest hidden among the gems of the Pacific Northwest. We traveled to the area to attend the U.S. Open golf tournament at nearby Chambers Bay. The golf course was a bust but the B&B made the trip worth every minute and penny we spent. Darryl and Jody made us feel like family and Jody's breakfasts did not help my diet but worth the slip. We had an entire floor for a room and had to work hard to use the space. The location was off-the-beaten path just enough to give the feel of a country inn. We have stayed at B&Bs and Inns all over the world and this one ranks right at the top of our favorites. We would go back just to see our new old friends.

Do not miss this place. We are senior citizens. We have been travelling a lot all over the world. We always prefer b&b when we can afford them. We have been in many of them. Some of them were very good. Few were excellent. This one was the best! We had a huge room, the whole of the second floor, size of three rooms. All the house, including our room, is decorated and maintained to perfection. The owners are lovely warm persons, interested in their visitors. They were doing their best to understand our desires and plans and to help us fulfil them. The breakfast was delicious, served in a beautiful, romantic dining room, decorated with flowers and candles. In the morning of our last day there, the skies were clear, and we enjoyed the impressive view of the Olympus mountains.

I was planning a trip to Washington for my daughter and I and split the days between two B&B's. Lucky for us, the majority of the nights were at Bird's-Eye View. This place is so cozy and comfortable, we instantly felt at home. The room we stayed in had a beautiful view of the mountains and the sunset in the evenings.I was very spacious and there was a very stylish antique tub which I decided to take advantage of for a relaxing bubble bath. The owners, Darryl and Jody are some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life and very accommodating. The breakfast was gourmet every morning and everything was set up beautifully. The rate was also excellent in comparison to the first place we stayed in Seattle. I would recommend this place to anyone planning a trip.

A + AMAZING!!!!! My friend and I were in town for a womens show and decided to stay at a B & B for something different than a hotel. I was a bit aprehensive about staying at a B & B as I hadn't experienced one before. I completely recommend staying at the Birds Eye View! I will definately be back and will bring my husband next time. Darryl & Jody are so nice, welcoming and generous. They even came and saw us at the womens show. The rooms are beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The view of the Olympics are spectacular and the house is a awesome. Again.... A+ Amazing! Great job Darryl & Jody. Thank you for having us. Will see you again soon.

text: Greater gliders, Petauroides volans, were radio-tracked within a large tract of forest in the dry inland of southern Queensland. This forest has been commercially logged for timber for more than 100 years. Home-range estimates ranged from 1.4 ha (female) to 19.3 ha (male). Minimum convex polygon (MCP) estimates were larger for males (average, 11.5 ha) than females (average, 3.3 ha) and combined (6.8 ha, sexes pooled) were larger than estimates from other Australian populations. Gliders were located foraging in myrtaceous tree species only, using mostly Eucalyptus moluccana, E. fibrosa and Corymbia citriodora. E. moluccana was used for foraging more frequently than would be expected on the basis of its availability in the forest. E. fibrosa and C. citriodora were used in proportion to their availability in the forest. Gliders were not seen foraging in non-myrtaceous species or myrtaceous trees <20 cm diameter at breast height (dbh), preferring trees in 30–70-cm dbh classes and as 'mature' and 'over-mature' classified according to growth-stage characteristics. Den tree species included the same species used for foraging as well as dead trees (16% of den trees). E. fibrosa and E. tereticornis were preferred significantly more than expected by their availability in the forest. Non-myrtaceous species were not used as live den trees. Large (dbh >50 cm) and old living trees (in deteriorating and senescent condition: 'late mature' and 'over-mature' categories) were primarily used as den trees. Individual gliders utilised 4–20 den trees. Females utilised more den trees per unit area of home range (3.8 den trees ha–1, maximum) than males (0.9 den trees ha–1, maximum). Fewer den trees were used per unit area of home range than by gliders at a coastal location with approximately the same latitude. The density of live stems containing hollows suitable as dens is currently lower than 1 tree ha–1 in some parts of the study forest. Gliders were two and half times less likely to be observed during standardised spotlighting surveys in the study area than elsewhere in southern Queensland. It is likely that low availability of den trees is contributing to large home ranges and the apparent low population density observed in this study.

And Detective Work By NPR Staff • Jul 16, 2016 Here's a different kind of thriller, of the sort often called "literary": Susie Steiner's Missing, Presumed follows British detective inspector Manon Bradshaw as she investigates the disappearance of Edith Hind, a university student from a well-off family. Meet The Guy Who Has Been A Hero, A Pirate, A 'Mountain Of Molten Lust' By NPR Staff • Jul 14, 2016 For Jason Aaron Baca, a model from Los Gatos, Calif., his inspiration for romance cover modeling came randomly. It sparked when he walked into a bookstore simply looking for something to read. There he saw a romance book cover. "I said, 'You know what? This is something that I can actually do. This is something that, you know, it's going to take a lot of work to get a body like those guys on the cover," he tells NPR's Renee Montagne. "At that moment right there I kind of realized that this is something I am definitely going to go after." Diversity Drives The Story In The Latest Incarnation Of Superman By NPR Staff • Jul 13, 2016 If you've stepped foot in a comic book store in the past few years, you'll have noticed a distinct shift. Superheroes, once almost entirely white men, have become more diverse. There's been a biracial Spider-Man, a Muslim Ms. Marvel, and just last week, Marvel announced that the new Iron Man will be a teenage African-American girl. Joining this lineup today is Kong Kenan, a Chinese boy who, as part of a reboot of the DC comics universe, is one of four characters taking up Superman's mantle. 'I Write About Awful People,' Says Gay Talese By NPR Staff • Jul 9, 2016 Journalist Gay Talese has never shied away from controversial topics. He took on the mafia in Honor Thy Father and dove deep into America's sex life in Thy Neighbor's Wife. But even Talese paused when he first heard about the Manor House Motel in Aurora Colo., back in 1980. Innkeeper Gerald Foos had outfitted his motel with a special platform which allowed him to spy on his guests — and he invited Talese to take a peek as well. Talese, a man of seemigly insatiable curiosity, did just that. But Foos demanded anonymity, so Talese decided not to write about the experience.

Lock Screen: At These Music Shows, Phones Go In A Pouch And Don't Come Out By NPR Staff • Jul 5, 2016 Before the folk rock band The Lumineers released their newest album, Cleopatra, in April, they played a series of secret shows. Emphasis here on "secret." "There was a large concern about the album being sort-of released via grainy video and leaked out online," said Wesley Schultz, the band's lead singer. So the band decided to lock up people's phones — not take them away, exactly, but just lock them up for the show. Like a timeout. The Declaration Of Independence, 240 Years Later By NPR Staff • Jul 4, 2016 Twenty-eight years ago, Morning Edition launched what has become an Independence Day tradition: hosts, reporters, newscasters and commentators reading the Declaration of Independence.

PROMINENT Australian Catholics have rejected claims by Cardinal George Pell that the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI weakened the papacy, and dismissed notions the Sydney Archbishop was angling for the top job.
It came as the Pope had a last day to match his shy personality, with surprisingly little ceremony.

Pope Benedict bids his final farewells
Just hours before his resignation, Pope Benedict XVI holds a small farewell with the cardinals who will soon choose his successor.
He was to meet cardinals from around the world, followed by a private parting ceremony in a Vatican courtyard in mid-afternoon, followed by a helicopter flight across the Vatican, the world's smallest state, to the papal retreat of Castel Gandolfo near Rome.
Earlier, Cardinal Pell - in Rome, where he will help choose Benedict's successor - said that the resignation could set a dangerous precedent.
Paul Collins, a church historian and former priest, said Cardinal Pell believed the Pope should be a kind of superman, whereas Benedict's decision had ''brought the papacy down to earth''. He welcomed Benedict's decision to resign. ''Popes have got to realise that they are just human, not superman, and when their energy runs out they have got to be prepared to resign.''
Father Michael Elligate, a priest at St Carthage's University Parish in Parkville, Melbourne, said the suggestion that the Pope should die in office had nothing to do with scripture.
''In these times it's acceptable that we have retirement ages and I think it's a very healthy thing that a pope has now set a modern precedent,'' he said.
Father Elligate said Cardinal Pell's comment that the greatest issue facing the Catholic Church was not sexual abuse but declining belief in the developed world was ''appalling''.
Melbourne Archbishop Denis Hart said he did not want to speculate on whether the resignation would destabilise future popes. ''I trust the church and I trust the papacy,'' he said.
Professor Neil Ormerod, from the Australian Catholic University, said the remarks were more likely posturing - designed to signal what attributes Cardinal Pell was seeking in the next pope.

The latest dispatch in the New York Times' ongoing editorial series "Those Mean and Ignorant Republicans" comes from Bruce Bartlett, who served in the Reagan and Bush I administrations and on the staffs of Jack Kemp and Ron Paul. Bartlett is the kind of faux-GOPer that the Times likes to trot out to skewer Republicans. In this piece, he seems to go out of his way to misstate and intentionally distort the conservative low-tax position.
Bartlett supports his case with facts and figures (see Exhibit A below). It's hardly a compelling argument because the income groups Bartlett considers do not include "The Rich", the current battleground for tax policy. Indeed, Bartlett's table actually makes a pretty good case against the Leftist insanity of Progressive Taxation.
[caption id="attachment_835" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Tax Policy Center data showing average and marginal tax rate data for families of four. Taxes include income tax and the employee portion of the payroll tax. Tax rates are shown as percentages for families at 50%, 100% and 200% of median household income. Emphasis added."][/caption]
Are Taxes High or Low? A Further Look
...[T]otal federal revenue — income, corporate and payroll taxes combined –– has been below 15 percent of gross domestic product for three years in a row, its lowest level since 1950 and well below the postwar average of about 18.5 percent of G.D.P.
Actually, that's evidence that we are on the downward-sloping side of the Laffer Curve, the region where government revenues actually decline with increasing tax rates.
...For years, Republicans have told [folks] over and over again that taxes in the United States are exceptionally high and the primary obstacle to growth, and that a huge tax cut would do more to raise growth than any other policy. ...
Many in the Tea Party talk as if the value of government is zero; consequently, they would probably complain about any tax level above zero.
Balderdash. I've never heard Tea Partiers suggest that taxes should be zero. Most Tea Partiers recognize a legitimate role of government (national defense, for example), and nobody expects it to be free. The debate is over the size and responsibilities of government, and its encroachment on personal freedom.
Those who assert that taxes are rising or are at confiscatory levels simply do not know what they are talking about.
That's Bartlett's ultimate conclusion. But don't you think, before concluding that, we might look at who's actually paying the bulk of income taxes?
[caption id="attachment_837" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Proportion of federal income taxes paid by income group, 1980-2008. From the Heritage Foundation."][/caption]
Bartlett's analysis isolates the brown, red and orange slices of the Heritage bar chart. Ninety percent of taxpayers fall into those groups, and collectively they pay only 30% of income taxes. Conversely, the proportion of the income tax paid by the top 10% has increased from under 50% in 1980 to 70% in 2008.
It's that top 10% which is responsible most capital investment, and most job growth. Any judgments made about whether or not taxes are excessive must include them.
Given his history as a supply-sider, one would think that Bruce Bartlett would agree that for high net worth individuals, high marginal tax rates discourage investment and encourage tax-advantaged investment strategies like municipal bonds. Some have even moved to tax havens to avoid confiscatory tax rates. A less confiscatory tax scheme would put idle capital to work and grow the economy, and ultimately government revenues.
But high marginal rates (as high as 40%!) for low income families are insane and immoral.
Average tax rates for the poorest group are very low -- even negative in 2010. That is because the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) which is a negative tax, an an "off the balance sheet" income redistribution program for the working poor with families. The EITC is phased out for income above a threshold. EITC recipients therefore have a high marginal tax rate, and a strong disincentive to seek additional income (overtime, promotions or part-time jobs).
We should be helping these people out of poverty, not making their road out steeper.
One of the most dehumanizing aspects of the Leftist worldview is their insistence on regarding our society as discrete, static social groups: The Middle Class, The Working Poor, The Rich, and so on. Professor M.J. Perry blogged about the dynamic of income and class mobility in American society, a process of continual renewal.
A common misperception is that the top or bottom income quintiles, or the top or bottom X% by income, are static, closed, private clubs with very little turnover - once you get into a top or bottom quintile, or a certain income percent, you stay there for life, making it difficult for people to move to a different group. But reality is very different - people move up and down the income quintiles and percentage groups throughout their careers and lives. The top or bottom 1/5/10%, just like the top or bottom quintiles, are never the same people from year to year, there is constant turnover as we move up and down the quintiles.
He goes on to quote some statistics from "The Politics of Envy" in The Hoover Digest, by Jeffrey Jones and Daniel Heil.
A Treasury Department study of the 1996–2005 period used IRS income tax data to discern considerable mobility: more than 55% of taxpayers moved to a different income quintile. More than half the people in the lowest fifth of earners moved to a higher quintile over this period (29% to the second, 14% to the third, 10% to the fourth, and 5% to the highest).
Moreover, there is a great deal of movement in and out of the top income groups. The Treasury data show that 57% "of households in the top 1% in 2005 were not there nine years earlier." The rich sometimes get richer, but they get poorer as well.
Our strongly progressive tax code builds an unhealthy rigidity into our system. It would be possible to fix it with a flatter and fairer tax system, while at the same time closing the chasm between government spending and revenue. But first we'll have to dismantle 80 years of "Progressive" social class theory and liberal dogma.
Postscript: Average vs marginal tax rates
Let's say I make $50,000 per year and pay $5,000 in taxes; my average tax rate is 10%. My marginal tax rate is the tax rate on an incremental dollar. If an additional $1,000 of income increases my tax bill by $300, my marginal tax rate is 30%.
One's decision as to whether the opportunity for increased income is worth the effort (or risk) depends on his marginal tax rate, not the average. It's kind of like climbing a hill; the steeper the rate, the more effort is required to make progress.

Producer prices in August 2010
September 21, 2010
Prices for finished goods increased 3.1 percent for the 12 months ended August 2010 (not seasonally adjusted), their tenth straight year-over-year rise.
Over the month, the Producer Price Index for Finished Goods increased 0.4 percent in August, seasonally adjusted, following a 0.2-percent advance in July and a 0.5-percent decline in June.
The August advance in the finished goods index can be traced primarily to prices for finished energy goods, which rose 2.2 percent. The index for finished goods less foods and energy edged up 0.1 percent. By contrast, prices for finished consumer foods fell 0.3 percent in August.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — August 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-1280. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

Skip to comments.California told to prepare massive prisoner release
Posted on 08/04/2009 7:11:19 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. judges on Tuesday told California to prepare to release more than 40,000 of its 150,000 inmates to reduce overcrowding in state prisons, which suffer from massive healthcare problems.
The cash-strapped state already plans to release ailing and short-term inmates for budget issues. That would clear up to 37,000 beds over two years, estimated California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Matthew Cate.
But he said an order from federal judges would set a "dangerous precedent" and argued at a news conference that California had cleaned up prisons and hired medical professionals to fill chronic gaps that had left prisoners without adequate physical or mental care.
(Excerpt) Read more at reuters.com ...
Release them at the federal courthouse where these judges have their offices.
California's releasing their massive prisoners?
Why? Goode Olde Charlie should be be appointed to a Federal
Judgeship. He'd fit right in!
Good idea! Send them to Michigan so they can join the Gitmo crowd?
What is that, page three or four of the playbook?
the state of Kalifornia is not in charge of it's prison system.
Arnold gave control to the federal government a few years ago.
or Richard Ramirez.
Ca. needs to buy them bus tickets to DC... I understand that there are very understanding people there who will take care of them through community action programs, and if it so happens that some of them haven't been rehabilitated? well, that's the way it goes in DC.
And ammo is nearly impossible to find in CA.
That's on the other side of the continent...
Hell spend the airfare. It would be worth it!
The pending case for a federal Bailout of Kally-Fornea.
Otherwise, every City up and down the West Coast needs to watch out for vagrants suddenly showing up at the bus stations...
U.S. judges on Tuesday told California to prepare to release more than 40,000 of its 150,000 inmates
The answer, of course, is for the governor to move the judges chambers to prisons, so the judges can live with their fellow criminals. But that would reqiuire Shwarzenegger to buy a magnifying glasss and tweezers to find his schwantz - in daylight. I'm sure his butch wife is hiding his manhood in the thimble jar where he can't find it
It is rather old, worst part is it still works, oy
a better idea would be to release the state government.
So let me get this straight they're going to release these guys because of the healthcare burden on the prison system. So who exactly is going to be paying for their healthcare when they get out?
"Then they guilt the citizens for not allowing tax increases...."
This isn't guilting them...this is called THREATENING them.....
Here is a solution... BUS THEM BACK TO MEXICO !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, it is expensive to give transgenders the operation. Maybe they can hold off, these guys, for a couple of years. Just sayin. Give the state a little break. (sarcasm)
Ought to be good for gun sales nationwide.
Why prepare? They are perfectly harmless.... Right?
L la land ping
I am leaving California for good on September 1st. It looks like not a moment too soon, eh?
Screw that. Give them guns. In Afghanistan. If they want to escape, its up to them... other than that tow the line. If they do good, they get meals and a plane fare home... maybe some pay!
Just think, most of these guys are already gun wise... so the training coefficient has already gone down. The probably have real good survival skills too.... Heck, most are in premium fighting shape, working out and training 8 days a week so they can be tougher and meaner on the street!
Think of what we'll save in food bills.
Blackmailing the taxpayers for fun and profit.
The threats from our government keeps coming because they haven't recieved enough extortion money.
Democrat and government union workers. Pay us, or else.
Get a gun. Kill the criminals. Police will come around in a few days for the body, or let the feral dogs have at it.
I have GOT to try that garlic prep method. That is the real deal.
I tried, it doesn't work any better than just squishing it with the side of a big knife.
But damn, it looked like they sure ate well in jail!

Nikki Lambcommented on a video on YouTube.
About me .. You can love me or hate me, i dont really care. There's only two reasons weak ass people hate on one another, either you don't understand me or your jealous. To either one I don't have time to worry about you worrying about me.
I know what i want, who I am, who im going to be & where im going in this life.
I have priorities and responsibilities.
Most see that as baggage and drama. If your that type , go kick rocks.
True Family and True Friends are hard to come by, hold on to those people and let go of anyone who wasn't there by your side regardless of the situation. Good or Bad.
LIFE is way to short to be angry all the time and living in the past.
Im taking this life and living in the moment not in the future.
Forgiveness doesn't come cheap, but sometimes its what needs to happen for your success.
If your one of the people who i consider FRIEND its a privilege, not a right, once you loose my friendship you will never get it back. Lifes to short to waste my time or yours on second chances.
I am a mommy of three talented children. I WILL ALWAYS put them before anything including YOU.
Being IN LOVE and Being IN LUST is two totally different things. Dont know if i will ever be in the place to want to get married again.
I support your right to do whatever it is you wanna do, as long as it isnt murder. (abortion) This includes using drugs if that's your thing but I don't wanna smell your damn cigarettes when im trying to eat.
I support being who you are and I don't care what you do in your bedroom. Fighting over being gay is as stupid as fighting over someones skin color.
I support our soldiers… bottom line.. I am not political but I do pay attention to whats going on from more then just what the news wants to portray. I get irritated with American politics so I turn the channel.
I love tattooing, drawing and showing my creative side. Im outdoors unless its 120 out and then im outside and in the water.
Im all for you having your own religion, but dont preach to me, everyone takes whatever they want and or need out of it. I cant stand ignorance, racism or weak minded.

RICHMOND, Va. - The publisher of the graduate business school entrance test said it has thrown out the scores of 84 prospective students after shutting down a Web site they used to cheat on the exam.
The Graduate Management Admission Council said it had notified 84 people about the cancellation of their scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test. More than 500 scores were tossed, as test-takers could take the GMAT several times, and many of the test-takers sent scores to more than one school.
The council began tracking down users of Scoretop.com after winning $2.35 million in a copyright-infringement lawsuit in June, which allowed the council to shut down the site and seize a computer hard drive containing payment information and users' identifications.
The council said an investigation of 6,000 scores from 2004 to 2007 found that 12 people posted questions from the exam on Scoretop. Those people will be barred from retaking the test for at least three years.
The other 72 posted messages on Scoretop confirming that they saw items from the site on their GMAT exams. Those test-takers will be allowed to retake the exam, council spokeswoman Judy Phair said.
"We take the action of canceling scores very seriously," GMAC President David A. Wilson said.
GMAC acknowledged it had to take a cautious approach, making certain it could positively identify cheaters before throwing out their scores, and Phair said some violators "are fortunate that we weren't able to do a match on them."
GMAC sent out notices to more than 100 business schools that received those students' test scores, but Phair said she wasn't allowed to disclose which schools those were. GMAC doesn't track where students are accepted or rejected, or even whether they applied.

The body in glorious 3D graphics
When I was at school, learning about the human anatomy involved flicking through a tatty old textbook from the 1970's with a picture of a naked man and women who wouldn't look out of place in Little Britain.
Nowadays, kids (and adults of course) have high tech 3D computer models such as BoneLab which help bring the body to life and help you memorise more easily parts of the body like the tibia, fibia and... erm... brain. BoneLab allows you to browse all bones in three dimensions. The models are all high quality and support free rotation and zoom so you view them at just about any angle.
It should be noted that BoneLab is not really suitable for kids because it's quite a technical application full of detailed and complex descriptions of the human body. For medical professionals and students it's a dream however as BoneLab features links to Wikipedia for complex anatomical terms.
There's little to criticise in BoneLab as it does an excellent job of making learning about the human body that bit more fun. Perhaps some videos would have been nice though.
- Highly detailed and annotated body parts
- Free rotation in 3D
- Can't "undo" actions
- No videos
"Only bones"
It havent circulatory sistem,muscles, only bones. Please share a complete program if somebody knows about.
- It is perfect to see bones and his estructures
- It is only about bones.

Golf Course
Golf Course closed beginning May 18 for summer renovations; to reopen September 26th with new greens
New greens, bunkers and salt-tolerant grass are in the plans for new and improved links at the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Golf Course. To accommodate the improvements, the course will close Monday, May 18.
The course is expected to reopen on September 26, 2016.
The renovations will improve the experience for our golfers. It will provide a dense, healthy turf for play and be easier to maintain.
Existing members will receive a four-month extension on their membership to compensate for the summer closure.
The greens will be replanted with Platinum Paspalum, a salt-tolerant species that requires less water and does not need to be over seeded in the winter.
Due to the extensive improvements planned for the course, the entire golf facility will be closed during renovations and the grow-in period – about four months. However, Tiano's Italian Restaurant, a facility tenant, will remain open.
For more information, please call the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Golf Course at 386-424-2190.
The New Smyrna Beach Municipal Golf Course is located on the mainland of New Smyrna Beach and is in excellent condition. There are blue, white, gold, and red tees available. The white tee is 6,200 yards long and was designed by Donald Ross. Yearly and summer-only memberships are available as well as daily rates for 18 holes. Reduced rates are available for twilight golfing, and tee times can be scheduled seven days in advance. Gift certificates are available.
Tee times may be reserved seven days in advance. Golfers may tee off beginning at 7 a.m. To reserve a tee time, please call 386-424-2192.
Pro Shop
The Pro Shop is open from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and is well stocked. Employees are knowledgeable about golf and can be of great assistance.
The golf pro is available for reasonably priced lessons for adults and children. Chipping, putting, and sand trap facilities are also available for use. For more information or to schedule a lesson, please call 386-424-2190.
Tournaments are held at the course throughout the year for both pro and amateur players. The golf course is home to Tiano's Restaurant, which has weekly lunch specials and a beer and wine license.

Glo Germ for Food Processing Organizations
Almost every week there are reports of people getting sick, getting checked into hospitals, and some evening dying over contaminated food.
Salmonella in spinach, contaminated cantaloupes, bad broccoli, and so forth. These contaminated food reports aren't even mentioning the bacteria that often comes from meat processing plants.
In reality, most food processing operations are constantly struggling with the potential of foodborne illness outbreaks. It only takes one outbreak to shut down operations, ruin brands, and alter the quality of life for a consumer.
The only way to avert a foodborne illness outbreak is to have a thorough hygiene and infection control program. The program needs to be instituted from executives to the janitorial staff. The avoidance of germs needs to be almost religious for all the employees. One employee's negligence can bring the whole system down.
Besides introducing rules, reminders and hype around the program, you need the right teaching tools. The Glo Germ System is a tool that can get your organization on track and excited about infection control.
Glo Germ helps your staff members realize how germs spread and which operations are letting germ enter the food. Hand hygiene and hand washing stations are musts to combat germs and reduce the spreading. The fluorescent powder and gel tests handwashing through UV black light technology. Simply use the blacklight to test how well the hands were washed.
The need to train on glove usage is very important as well. Glove (and other personal protective equipment - PPE) usage is often misunderstood by many workers. Gloves may may block the bacteria and other germs from the employees' hands (although studies show that germs can penetrate). However, the gloves are also conductors of germs as workers touch various places with germ covered gloves.
Glo Germ shows the spread from the dirty glove usage (because workers rarely switch for new gloves between tasks). Also, glove removal is a cause of for germ spreading. Employees often flip contaminated material during removal. Glo Germ gels and powders are simulation germs that work to teach proper handling!
Glo Germ can help your food workers and janitorial staff see how well they are cleaning up crucial areas. If the cleaning is not conducted correctly then there is no clean process or machinery that will combat an already contaminated area. Glo Germ helps test the environmental cleaning processes.
If you need more ways to use Glo Germ in your food processing plant then please contact us.
