Skip to comments.California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban (4-3)
Posted on 05/15/2008 10:18:34 AM PDT by NormsRevenge
SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court has overturned a gay marriage ban in a ruling that would make the nation's largest state the second one to allow gay and lesbian weddings.
The justices' 4-3 decision Thursday says domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage. Chief Justice Ron George wrote the opinion.
The city of San Francisco, two dozen gay and lesbian couples and gay rights groups sued in March 2004 after the court halted San Francisco's monthlong same-sex wedding march.
The case before the court involved a series of lawsuits seeking to overturn a voter-approved law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
With the ruling, California could become the second state after Massachusetts where gay and lesbian residents can marry.
"What happens in California, either way, will have a huge impact around the nation. It will set the tone," said Geoffrey Kors, executive director of the gay rights group Equality California.
California already offers same-sex couples who register as domestic partners the same legal rights and responsibilities as married spouses, including the right to divorce and to sue for child support. It's therefore unclear what additional relief state lawmakers could offer short of marriage if the court renders the existing ban unconstitutional.
A coalition of religious and social conservative groups is attempting to put a measure on the November ballot that would enshrine California's current laws banning gay marriage in the state constitution.
The Secretary of State is expected to rule by the end of June whether the sponsors gathered enough signature to qualify the marriage amendment, similar to ones enacted in 26 other states.
The cases before the California court were brought by the city of San Francisco, two dozen gay and lesbian couples, Equality California and another gay rights group in March 2004 after the court halted San Francisco's monthlong same-sex wedding march that took place at Mayor Gavin Newsom's direction.
...and the country continues its downward spiral toward oblivion.
Supreme Court of California
May 15 2008 S147999 In re Marriage Cases 5/15/08 SC
Caligula would be proud of this decision. What next, animals?
Please, please let the 'Rats campaign for this over the summer...
There is a constitutional amendment in the works for voters to vote on in November, which could overturn this ruling. But California may be too socially liberal to overturn this court order. Stay tuned.
Unfortunately I"m unable to listen to Rush, has he mentioned this? And more importantly has he commented on this?
The militant homosexualists and their communist allies have now forced us to go to the labor and expense of amending the California constitution to make it absolutely clear that marriage will not be redefined out of existence in this state.
So be it. The amendment will pass in a landslide.
Here come the polygamists over the border to win their "rights" via the courts too...just wait a couple weeks.
.. domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage. Chief Justice Ron George wrote the opinion.
so long George, you used to seem OK,, maybe your brain is being addled away by global warming perhaps,, God help us if you and the court ever has to rule if it is real and man causes it.
Not yet.
California is beyond hope; let the Mexicans have it
In the years past this would be a big event. National Coverage, huge battle, Major Protests......now it even bare got covered in evening news.
Disastrous turn of events.
Maybe the Religious Base would get motivated now.
Doesn't look like it.
We are doomed.
As a long time California resident, I knew this disgusting day was coming. California was once a model state, the model in every respect for the other states of this country — fiscally, in education, and its politics. It was clean state, free from mega-perverison, copious numbers of illegal immigrants, and we had politicians that gave a damn about something other than their personal empowerment obtained through pandering and runaway spending.
Actually, I am surprised the vote was so close, given the runaway PC crap and liberalism that has turned California into a socialist dung heap. All this done too, without the regard for the legal nightmare that this move is going to make — as usual, ONLY LAWYERS WILL PROFIT from this. Meanwhile you will have to explain to your young children, how Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith can be man and "wife" —
Actually, I am headed for San Francisco now, to marry my dog.
Too late! (s)
No, little boys and girls in public schools, that's who's next.
And polygamy,.. and anything else until the word marriage has no meaning at all.
I'll bet he and Hannity don't say much about it. There's more important things out there, like the election. Or so I've been told by Hannity's call screener when I get through and try to talk about this issue.
"Marriage" is a spiritual and physical union between two persons with the possibility of creating a new lives.
Gays may have a spiritual union, but they cannot unite to create new life.
Ergo, their union is different from "marriage", though it may include some elements of "marriage".
But it needs a title/name of its own to differentiate it from creative unions.
God instituted marriage way back at the "beginning". And, satan's been trying to destroy it ever sense. But, we all know (or should) who wins in the end.
You joke about that but California is a huge source of our nations food supply.
Has McCain commented on this yet?
Won't be an issue if Obama or Hillary get the Presidency. Gay marriage will become Federal law then...
This is probably the worst thing that could have happened for the liberals in this election. While it may not have the same deep impact as it did in 2004, there's no way this helps Obama or the Dems in this election and it provides fuel for such constitutional amendments in both California and Arizona and Florida that will be before the voters this year. Any conservative fuel on the fire will make the Dems worry.
As for that fruitcake judge Ronald George, you've been living in Frisco, too long, Mr. Judicial Activist. You're such a fruit.
I think this verdict will fire up the base and that the gay marriage ban will pass. Whether it will be over turned by the courts is another question.
For those of you in Rio Linda, married couples get an unlimited deduction in which they can transfer during life or at death as much of their estate as they like to the other spouse without incurring federal estate tax. The idea being that the receiveng spouse will be taxed on the property transferred at their death.
This is a great planning tool for the gay community if the service goes for it, but it is open to all kinds of fraud and misuse. This could be interesting? Popcorn anyone?
California, lol.
I no longer wonder if their will be a revolution to save America but when.
Funny, you actually believe that the goal of this judicial activism is to create some kind of gay union. It never was. The way to destroy a title is to expand it until the original is meaningless. If everyone can call themselves a doctor, then what does "doctor" mean? Absolutely nothing. The pagan activists are doing that with marriage.
Uh, yeah. In fact, you'd have to be an idiot not to take advantage of this new loophole. I imagine all kinds of business partners and others will get "married" so they can keep their own money rather than throw it down the government toilet. Why not?
Male or female? lol
But it won't be what you would hope for probably.
More likely an Islamic revolution, imposed by sheer terror.
Sickening. Our republic is dead. We live in a judicial tyranny.
Amazing!! You know why the gays fight so hard for "gay marriage", right? Now every school must teach that this is an alternate lifestyle included with all others....that is the main reason. Your 6 year child will now be brainwashed into thinking this is "ok"....what a sick group of people. They won't let 16 year old kids drink, smoke or drive, but they'll let or support them having sex and risk getting all sexually transmitted diseases including HIV!!
BTW, did you know that 95% of civil unions end up separated before 3 years!!! 95%!!!!!
Well, true. But mostly because of huge government subsidies for the cost of water in the Central Valley. Without those subsidies, the Central Valley is MUCH less competitive with the Midwest.
The once-great California is a victim of its own success. Decent people build great things then liberals come in and screw it all up.
"We, the People, have spoken."
It was inevitable. Never mind what the majority of California citizens want. The narcissistic judges follow the money showered by narcissistic gays who are so enamoured of their own bodily orifices and appendages that they crave others built exactly like themselves to play with, like toddlers. I recently read that the gay market has $60 billion in disposable income, which is why they are pandered to by politicians, media, and corporations. And you ain't seen nothin' yet, wait 'til Obama is president. Can we just find a state and secede NOW?
,,,and the march to the far-left, liberal, nirvana-world contines.
Sorry, "do not separate" = "do not equate"
State government like this is why, when it comes to levees, I'd rebuild New Orleans' and blast Sacramento's.
Overwhelming Majority of the SC Judges who gave this decision are Republican appointees.
We deserve this. Doomed.
Now, more than ever, we need Alan Keyes for President.
Before it's too late.
He's the complete Reagan conservative who has been right all along.
The McCain GOP will do little more than wink at this travesty.

What gun control means
Gun control. When I use the term, I mean you're going to make sure of your target, have a good backstop, take careful aim and fire, once all safety requirements are met. Because of a local ordinance, gun ownership is required of all eligible residents of Kennesaw, Georgia. Unless you're a convicted felon, mentally unstable or incapable of effectively handling a firearm, you must own at least one weapon.
The year the ordinance took effect, 1982, crime against persons plummeted by 74 percent compared to 1981. In 1983, the same crime rate decreased by 45 percent compared to 1982. The crime rates have remained among the lowest in any community, any state, anywhere. How is violating the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms a viable solution to battling kooks and criminals committing crimes?
They're criminals. Crime is what they do. Let's concentrate on enforcement of existing laws, not trying to make criminals of law-abiding citizens.

De Wain Valentine at David Zwirner Gallery, open until August 7th. Image via davidzwirner.com
Art reigns supreme in the summer. With countless outdoor installations to look forward to and many New York City art galleries preparing their summer shows for the new season, there is always something to see. That is, if you're in Chelsea. We're only partly kidding. While its true that much of the city's art scene has moved south toward 22nd Street, some steadfast spaces still remain on the Lower East Side and Midtown. Here are our top 10 picks for the city's must-see art gallery shows of the summer.
Spend more than five minutes in Chelsea and you'll find a smattering of galleries, installations, and one of New York's most prominent art scenes, from the famous David Zwirner Gallery, now social media famous because of recent exhibitions by Yayoi Kusama to the blank, spacious Gagosian Gallery, now hosting legendary recluse and architectural sculptor Michael Heizer.
What may go unnoticed, however, is the history behind the neighborhood, as is the case for most areas on the lower half of Manhattan. Last Saturday, we took a tour with David Behringer, founder of The Two Percent, whose Chelsea art gallery tour, called Audio Hop, showcases both sides of Chelsea culture and focuses almost as much on the walk to each of Chelsea's galleries as it does on the galleries themselves. Audio Hop will continue into June, take a break for the summer, and return in the fall with all new tours. Here were some of the weirdest things we found.
Few in New York's art scene command as much respect and renown as Richard Serra, a minimalist sculptor best known for his large-scale constructions of sheet metal. Blurring the line between art and architecture, Serra latest exhibit, 'Equal' premiered in May at David Zwirner Gallery on West 20th Street in Chelsea. Its premise is rather simple. The exhibit consists entirely of of eight corten steel cubes stacked into nearly identical columns. By our count, it might just be the heaviest piece of art the gallery has ever seen, clocking in at a total of 320 tons.
In an age where platforms like Instagram and Twitter can make stars overnight, it's no surprise that social media is the engine behind Japanese multimedia artist Yayoi Kusama's newfound international fame among art lovers as well as the general public. Two years after her last exhibit in the area attracted thousands of viewers and eight-hour lines, Kusama continues her collaboration with David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea with this year's latest show, called "Give Me Love."
This year, New York residents have waited on line for many a cultural phenomenon. From mind-numbing 13 hour waits to see the MOMA's Rain Room this summer, to multi-block lines for the Cronut and the Ramen Burger, this city has done its fair share of idle standing around.
With the visibility of the exhibit at the David Zwirner Gallery entitled "I Who Have Arrived In Heaven" by Yayoi Kusama,, everyone's favorite Japanese conceptual artist and psychiatric hospital patient, the trend of the long line seems to be here to stay. It may, in fact, be accelerating, with lines of upwards of 6 hours for one of the exhibit's famed "infinity rooms" during record breaking snow over the past week. The exhibit closes on the 21st of this month, so get yourselves down there–or experience it through our photos. (more…)
Our curated events picks for this week: Richard Serra exhibition opening at David Zwirner, Gatsby inspired tour of Long Island's Gold Coast with Sidetour.
MONDAY, APRIL 8: Join Hudson Whiskey for Bourbon & Bluegrass featuring the Long Island Bluegrass Quartet. 7pm at The Flatiron Room, 37 West 26th Street. Enjoy the Hudson Whiskey specials and read about Tuthilltown Spirits, the first Whiskey distillery in New York since Prohibition.
TUESDAY, APRIL 9: MAS Forum: Grand Central Terminal Design for the Next Century. The centennial celebrations of Grand Central Terminal and the City's proposed up-zoning of East Midtown present an opportune time to re-think the future of Grand Central and its surrounding neighborhood. The zoning proposal is a once in a century opportunity to shape a generation of development in one of our city's busiest neighborhoods; we must ensure the changes that the City is planning are not only for the buildings themselves, but also for the people who will work in these buildings, ride the subway, walk the streets and admire the skyline. 6-8pm at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal, East 42nd Street. FREE. Register here.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10: Why I love skyscrapers talk by Christoph Ingenhoven, the founding principal of ingenhoven architects, a Dusseldorf-based firm with an increasingly international practice. His assertively modernist work emphasizes ecological principles in combination with innovative engineering and close attention to the public realm. 6:30-8pm at the National Museum of the American Indian, Alexander Hamilton Customs House, 1 Bowling Green. FREE for members of the Skyscraper Museum; $5 students/seniors; $10 general admission. RSVP at email@example.com.


text: I'm considering a Seacamp .32acp as my carry weapon for the hot weather. The Seacamp is just about the only pocket pistol available in MA. Does anyone have any experience with this pistol. My second choice is a 38 or 357 snubbie but I'd really like something I could holster in the cargo pocket of shorts without too much printing. The average price around here for the Seacamp is $550.

Hometown Hero
The light of the streetlamp illuminated an elderly man, with a long white beard, rummaging through a trash can on the street corner in Pioneer Square. The image stuck with Beverly Graham.
Someone should do something. That could be somebodys grandpa, she thought.
It wasnt long before the thought changed to I should do something about that and the rest, as they say, is history.
It has been 16 years since Graham a song writer, vocalist, inspirational speaker, wife, mother, and humanitarian started packing lunches on her kitchen counter and passing them out in downtown Seattle. Her effort, which eventually became Operation: Sack Lunch, has long since moved out of her kitchen and serves over 18,000 meals per month to homeless men, women and children in the Seattle area. Meals are just the beginning of the outreach provided by Operation: Sack Lunch; OSL also provides clothing, hygiene kits, and sleeping bags to the homeless and the working poor as well as social education to schools, businesses, and organizations.
Although Graham has received numerous awards for her work through the organization, she didnt start the organization out of a burning passion to save the world.
I did it to make myself feel better, she said. Why would or should someone else do it? For me it became walking the walk. The passion came later, as I was serving and I saw that people had names and faces and stories.
As she talked about this recently in her Clinton log home, Graham turned to the window, eyes glassy with tears. Her speech, usually as speedy as that of an auctioneer, downshifted to first gear.
Once while we were handing out sleeping bags, a homeless man took a bag and I never even looked at him until I realized he hadnt moved on. When I glanced up at him, he looked deep into my eyes, took my hand in both of his, smiled and nodded. Time stopped. I knew I had just handed Jesus Christ a sleeping bag. Thats what I live for, to see God looking back at me through others eyes.
She tells of meeting a 450-pound homeless woman whose legs were covered with ulcers and who wore no shoes because her feet were too big.
Even the most hurkin, burley men got out of her way, Graham said. She set fear in everyones heart. She was mean. One day I found out why, this woman had never once experienced love. Can you imagine? No one had ever loved her!
Keith Mack, who met Graham through the Giraffe Project, knows how and why she does what she does.
When confronted with the grinding poverty and desperation that afflict many of our brothers and sisters, Bev cant look the other way, she doesnt know how. She looks into the faces, eyes and hearts of hungry men, woman and children who are no different from you and me. Jesus once asked a disciple. Do you love me? Surprised, the disciple said, Of course I do Lord. Jesus said Then feed my sheep. Nowhere does Jesus say, Feed only the sheep that deserve it.
Mack said Graham knows everyone deserves kindness and compassion.
I have rose-colored glasses on and off at the same time, Graham said. I see the best and the worst simultaneously. This gives me both hope and grief. Even if I dont like you at all right now, I know that we are all born naked, squealing and equal in the eyes of God. Thats why I write the music I do. I think our differences make the world go round, and we need to embrace them, she said. The cruelty to each other and the need for power over each other and the planet must stop if the world is ever going to heal and be at peace.
Earlier in her life, Graham had some learning to do for herself.
I was a holy terror as a teenager. I was ruthlessly brutal with my own truth. I used to need to own my stage, be the star of my show, but I learned it is so much more enriching to invite others up on the stage with me, no queens or kings, no divas. This has been a long lesson for me. I have a tendency to raise my fists to God instead of bowing my knees in supplication.
Her life changed when a friend suggested that she examine her motives. She took that to heart, and even hesitated to be interviewed as a Hometown Hero.
I questioned my motives, she said. But I am inspired by stories about other people, so I have to be willing to be a subject, too.
Even our motives for love need to be examined at times, Graham said. She refers to The Little Prince, a story in which a prince living on a tiny planet owns what he believes to be the only rose in the universe. In the story, he loves the rose more than anything. One day he travels to Earth and sees many roses. When he returns home, he no longer cherished his rose. It wasnt the rose he loved at all; it was its uniqueness that had captured his heart. In this vein, Graham said all of us have the opportunity to make commitments to our loved ones, but we should not love them just because they are rare, but for who they are.
Beverly lives in Clinton with her husband, Ken also a musician the couples three children, and 60 animals. Her image of peace is represented by a sight she witnessed recently from her kitchen window a rooster sitting quietly on a fence flanked by two cats, and a dog laying at their feet.
In addition to cats, dogs, and chickens, Grahams so-called Coyote Cafe and Bad Animal Farm supports a pot-bellied pig, llamas, a variety of birds and a billy goat.
In the midst of conversation in her kitchen, Graham is interrupted by a loud squawking upstairs.
I have my mother tied up there, excuse me, she teases.
Bounding up, then down the stairs with the energy of a 3-year-old, she reemerges with Queenie, a large white Cockatoo, which she places on a swinging perch in the kitchen. Hopper, her one-legged rooster, bounces into the room to catch the crumbs the bird drops, and a longhaired, gray cat settles into Grahams lap.
Although Graham has Multiple Sclerosis and is affected by chemical sensitivities, she refuses to be a victim of anything.
Life is full of booby traps, she says. A tree falls in my path. I can give up, sit down, camp there or find a way around it. Hell, I sometimes put that damn tree in my own path.
To make it around or over those trees, Graham suggests we think of ourselves as superheroes who make things happen through the power of will. A former competitive body builder, Graham can see her own inner superhero.
In my mind Im big, huge, 6 feet, 4 inches tall with monstrous biceps, said Graham, who is just under 5 feet tall. I saw a video once of a performance we did at Benaroya Hall. I was the smallest person with the highest heels on stage.
What she might lack in height, Graham makes up for in getting things done. No task is too intimidating to be tackled.
I have been given the gift of excess energy, both my body and mind are always moving. The four words, I have an idea always strikes fear into my family. My daughter says, Quick, tie her up, dont let her speak it!
Graham encourages others who think they might not have the talent or the time or the energy she does to do what they can.
We all have gifts, and it doesnt have to be a huge thing we do, as long as we do something. What we have to share right now matters, she said. We need to give 100 percent to each moment, because it may be the last one we have. My 100 percent may be different then yours, but its no more extraordinary, its simply what I do.
Her 100 percent can also be intense, said Operation: Sack Lunch treasurer Kimi Cole Jones.
She is so human that she makes appreciate that you are one too. She is terrible at math, she changes her mind, she screams, swears, cries, oh man, does Beverly cry. She makes an excellent spokeswoman to the Mayor of Seattle. She tells jokes, she laughs, she loves her family. Beverly encourages us to be truly and undeniably human.
Peter and Marie Morton, who moved to Whidbey Island in 2004, have experienced much of who Beverly Graham is through her music which Graham often performs on South Whidbey. They say they like her songwriting for its combination of compassion, love, activism, spirituality, rhyme and humor.
Beverly is out for no less than to change the world, and by golly, if people listen and act as she suggests, thats what will happen, Peter Morton said. She is a remarkable person, a moral example of altruism with an attitude.
Another friend and fan of Grahams, Keith Mack, states that Graham is both humbling and elevating.
Humbling, because I am in awe of her courage and compassion. Elevating, because I know that what one has done, someone else can do. Who is that someone else? Its me and its you.

Tower Toppling? They Say No.
We fact-check other blogs so they don't have to: Our pals at FrontBurner are reporting that Dean & DeLuca, the upscale New Yawk grocery store, will arrive in Dallas at a Lemmon Avenue location currently occupied by Tower Records. This comes as a surprise to Tower's Sacramento-based senior vice president of marketing, Russ Eisenman, who relays this message through an assistant: "We are not closing the Dallas store." That's the same thing Dan Lightner, the Lemmon Avenue location's operations manager, told Unfair Park: "That is not true." At least, he says, corporate has given him no indication a shut-down is in the immediate future; doesn't mean it ain't happening tomorrow because it's not going down today. But that's their story, and they're sticking to it.
Then again, Tower is allegedly for sale, just two years after pulling itself out of bankruptcy--during which it tried without success to find a buyer. It's getting hammered by everything from Best Buy and Wal-Mart to Internet downloading--same thing that's killing the Virgin Megastore chain, which is pulling out of Mockingbird Station in the next few weeks. So maybe Tower's days are numbered. Of course, they have been for years.
Anyway, Dean & DeLuca's spokesperson, Deb Stockman, has been in meetings all day with the D&D bossman, so she could not be reached for comment. When she calls back--from her offices in Wichita, Kansas, which is not where we expected to find an upscale New York grocery store's corporate offices--we will let you know what she says. Till then, take a deeeeeeep breath and hold tight. --Robert Wilonsky

K9 Advantix kills fleas and ticks on Dogs
K9 Advantix for dogs is effective flea and tick treatment for dogs. When a flea is exposed to imidacloprid on a treated pet, the compound is absorbed through the insect's intersegmental membrane. Here, the compound comes into contact with the flea's nervous system. Imidacloprid then acts inside the synapse of the insect to disrupt transmission of the nervous impulse. Imidacloprid binds to post-synaptic nicotinic receptor sites inside the synapse, essentially "locking" the receptor in the open position thus hyperstimulating the cell. As this occurs throughout the nervous system, it leads to death of the insect. Furthermore, imidacloprid is highly selective in its activity. It only binds to insect nicotinic receptor sites, showing virtually no affinity for mammalian receptor sites. As an analogy, one may think of a lock and key, where the insect nicotinic receptor site is the lock and imidacloprid is the key. Imidacloprid only "fits" the right "lock," and does not fit similar receptor sites found in mammals.
Why killing flea lavre is important
Flea larvae live in the canine's environment on bedding, carpeting and anywhere the dog regularly sleeps or plays. By killing flea larvae in the canine's environment, imidacloprid kills potentially re-infesting fleas at the source, before they have a chance to reproduce to infest the pet and the home. This larvicidal activity in the environment, combined with the rapid adulticidal activity on the pet, eliminates existing flea infestations quickly and prevents new ones from developing, all without the use of environmental foggers, sprays, or insect growth regulators.
Larvicidal activity
Imidacloprid is the premier flea control product, in large part, due to its unsurpassed adulticidal activity. However, imidacloprid also possesses significant larvicidal activity. In fact, Advantage, ® and now K9 Advantix, ® are the only flea adulticides that can make a larvicidal claim.
How imidacloprid kills flea larvae in the environment
Once K9 Advantix Dog is applied, both active ingredients (imidacloprid and permethrin) spread across the body. Imidacloprid, in particular, spreads rapidly. During this process, imidacloprid forms very fine particles that bind with the superficial lipid layer on the skin surface. This lipid material is slowly shed off of the animal, via the normal replenishing activity of the epidermis. This "dander," made up of bits of epidermal cells, lipid, hair fragments and such, also contains imidacloprid. Thus, the treated dog, in essence, treats its own environment. As imidacloprid is an extremely potent compound (i.e., very small amounts kill fleas and flea larvae), sufficient amounts are deposited to effectively kill flea larvae in the pet's surroundings.
Inhibition of flea biting
Studies conducted in Germany by Dr. Heinz Mehlhorn also demonstrate that imidacloprid possesses significant anti-feeding activity, and fleas that jump onto an imidacloprid-treated dog stop feeding in 3 to 5 minutes. Additional studies, conducted by Dr. Michael Rust at the University of California at Riverside, confirmed that imidacloprid demonstrates significant anti-feeding activity, even at very low doses. These results are significant as it is the feeding activity of fleas that elicits an allergic condition known as flea allergy dermatitis.
Activity of imidacloprid against ticks
The highly specific mode of action of imidacloprid makes it an ideal compound for insect control. However, it does limit its utility against ticks and mites because they are arachnids (the same class as spiders) rather than insects. Research has shown that imidacloprid does not bind as well to arachnid receptors as it does to insect receptors. For this reason, imidacloprid is not utilized as a stand-alone ingredient for canine tick control. Rather, its limited activity against ticks is best exploited to enhance the efficacy of other compounds, permethrin in particular.
K9 Advantix Commercial
Frequently asked questions:
Q: How long does K9 Advantix last?
A: A single application of K9 Advantix keeps working for one month.
Q: How often should customers use K9 Advantix?
A: Experts recommend that pet owners should apply monthly to keep their dogs protected year round
Q: My pet is strictly indoors. Should I still use Advantage?
A: Yes, Ticks and fleas can be brought into the home by people or other pets without pet owners even realizing it. Immature flea stages remain dormant until conditions are appropriate for development and infest pets after hatching. That's why it is important to also protect indoor pets.
Q: Can I bathe my pets during the month after application?
A: Yes, you can give your dogs or cats a bath. We recommend a non-detergent shampoo for best results.
Q: For what age pets can I use K9 Advantix on?
A: K9 Advantix is gentle enough for puppies as young as 7 weeks.

Featured Reviews for 4 MONTH K 9 ADVANTIX Green (for dogs up to 10lbs.)
No more flea's by Scotty from Mt. Morris, NY11/26/2011
Time line between purchase and delivery was really fast. Product works better than what we bought from the Vet.
good price by sunny01/13/2012
like the savings received by ordering here
Advantix and the Vet. by Juneau from Roseville, CA11/14/2011
Entirely Pets allows me to buy the products I need for my little guy. The vet requires an appointment and exam when all we need is something to stop the fleas. Entirely Pets saves me time and money and I do not have to make an extra trip to the vet.
Works okay by Kam08/11/2009
this stuff seems to be decently effective at best, my dog definitely stopped chewing and scratching at fleas within a day or so. however, i did find a flea on him that im not sure was dead or not. i recommend looking for fleas and picking them out even after applying this. only time will tell if this stuff works the entire month because my dog is in constant exposure to new fleas with the multiple walks he takes per day!
Great stuff by Gail T. from Eaton, OH11/21/2013
K-9 Advantage Green seems to work better than a lot of the other flea products I've tried. Kept fleas off my dog longer than most.
Never had a problem by marie06/11/2008
It's a really bad flea season this year and k9 advantix keeps them little nasty bugs off my puppy.
GREAT! by Tonya08/19/2008
I love this product mostly due to the fact it is for mosquito's, as well as flea's & ticks. I live in Vermont and it has been a nasty and terrible year for those buggers, but my pups are protected and we have had no problems with mosquito's, ticks or fleas! i love this product and will only use this on my dogs!!
Flea Killer by LadyLyn from Northern CA04/07/2010
This is the most reasonable site for Advantix K9 around. This is the only product that works on my dogs, and I have four dogs!
Product does not work like it says by Gina from California11/12/2013
I had to use all my product on both my dogs the first month. After all the time it took to get the product to me and the hassles with that...my dogs were getting sick and had sores all over them from all the flees they got moving to California. Even after getting a shot at the Vet, an ecxpensice dog shampoo and the first initial dose of Advantix, my dogs flees were still not gone. I had to use the other one on both of them to finally get rid of the flees. This was a horribly miserable time for them and for me to see them like that. The company was like pulling teeth to get the product sent to me in a timely manner and without a lot of confusion.

Perfect by J01/19/2008
We have 3 shelter dogs. Mainly inside, but go out to play in back yard that has a lot of flea and tick carrying squirrels. NEVER a FLEA, NEVER a TICK, and the mosquitos don't bite!!! PERFECT. I would NEVER use anything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WORKS GREAT by Troy01/15/2008
I Have an outside dog and and one inside/outside dog. We used Frontline and it kinda worked but K9 Is Awesome! Spend the extra money and say good by to the flees. Within 3 days the flees are gone and have not seen them since, Not in the carpet, out side on on the animals.
great price by lajaelna from sc08/31/2014
I have been using this product on my dogs for years and it works great. my dogs had never had any bad reaction to this and I am very pleased with it. This was the best price I have ever gotten it, and delivery was better than expected.
by from 12/10/2012
On my last order of K9Advantix I was, as always, totally satisfied and delighted with the prompt service from your company. The product arrived very quickly and was, of course, exactly what was ordered. I have been shopping with Entirely Pets for varioous items for a long time and have never had any problem or disappointment. Keep up the great service! Sincerely,
sashlo by Sarasota, Florida from Sarah
Love shopping with Entirely Pets
BEST PRODUCT @ EVEN BETTER PRICE by amy7552 from Tennessee07/01/2012
K9 ADVANTIX is by far, the best dog pest control product that I have ever used for our dogs. We took them in for their Spring Vet visit, and they were amazed that between the 3 of them not1 flea or tick could be found, and they are indoor/outdoor dogs. I also like the fact that it protects against musquitos and biting flies. It can get quite expensive to purchase this for 3 dogs, So I have to shop around for sales & good pricing. Entirely Pets had, hands down, the very best price that I have found.
by from 03/24/2008
I have used this on my dogs for a few years now.It provides wonderful coverage, and lasts for 1 month. I apply a stripe from the neck area to the base of the tail. That area will appear a bit greasy, but the dogs will have absolutely NO ticks, NO fleas, and will not be bitten by mosquitoes. This is a wonderful product, and I highly recommend it!
consider by using from anythingI
Dogs allergic by Farm Chick from Texas12/30/2011
I cannot recommend this only because my dogs are allergic and all broke out and had a "burn" mark where it was placed. Had to return item. Entirely Pets was great and understanding and refunded me my entire purchase price.
Bad year for ticks! by Peg from Nebraska04/15/2012
This year came with a bumper crop of ticks. I started Advantix early in March this year after picking a dozen or so ticks off my dogs. I haven't seen any ticks on my dogs for a couple of weeks now. Advantix really works.
I wouldn't leave home without it! by Lee from Desert Southwest11/06/2011
There just are not enough words to describe the awful feeling you get when you find that your beloved pets have ticks. Suddenly you are consumed with worry over your pets health and your own. Ticks are a severe dicomfort for your pet and interrupt your daily routine. Advantix not only wipes out the ticks but keeps them from returning. It is the most effective product that I've tried and it protects from fleas and mosquitos as well.
Worked After Frontline Failed by George's Mom from Southern Delaware11/21/2011
I told my vet that Frontline had stopped working and she tried to convince me I had just been using it incorrectly. If I hadn't been on Facebook and talked to other dog moms with the same problem I might have tried for longer than the 3 weeks I gave it to wait for Frontline to kick-in after my dog and home were flea ridden (vacuuming every night and waking up every morning to pick fleas out of the sheets). 3 long wasted weeks of my life. K9 Advantix is the best. Never have had a problem since i switched.
We love it! by Soandsew from Washington State10/12/2011
We tried several products that my dog hated and didn't work. Been using this for 3 years and haven't seen a flea since. So easy!

What's not to love about skateboarding? From the exhilaration of riding a board up walls to the thrill of mastering tricks in front of a crowd that always supports and cheers, skateboarding is as creative and fun as it is liberating; it is no wonder that some call it a way of life. The perfect shoes to go with this exciting sport are skate shoes; casual, flat, and specially designed for skateboarding, they offer better control over the board, minimise injury by absorbing impact, and enhance performance. Shoes not designed for skateboarding will simply not do, because they increase the risk of injury and wear out too soon. A savvy buyer should look for skate shoes that offer safety, flexibility, maximum comfort, and durability.
Since there is no such thing as a boring pair of skate shoes, the huge selection of cool pairs available from brick and mortar stores to online auction sites is as appealing as it is confusing. With the right information though, this selection is easily narrowed to a few solid choices. Before buying a pair of skate shoes, it is advisable to learn the salient features of a sound pair of skate shoes, what is appropriate and acceptable and what is not in the interest of safety, comfort, and durability. Armed with such information, one can weave through the diverse array of women's skate shoes on eBay with tips on how to make the experience pleasant and rewarding.
Selecting Skate Shoes
Skate shoes must be flexible and tough with solid traction, or they they wear out fast. A serious skater understands the need for protection and durability to prevent injuries, to learn something new while skating, and to have fun. It is important to understand the features of a good pair of skate shoes because an informed customer will always get good value for her money. That said, it does not hurt if the skate shoes are as good-looking as they are reliable.
Considered an extension of the skater's personality, skate shoes come in such a profusion of fresh styles and colour combinations that allow everyone to express their originality with ease. Since skateboarding is all about fun, freedom, and expression, shoes come in simple fabric trims and accents or radiant hues with glitter, embroidered logos and lettering, splatter paint, polka dots, graffiti patterns, and even butterflies. From traditional silhouettes to sleek contemporary lines, the eye-catching styles have something for everyone. Even laces can be used to make a statement, with the hash, hidden knot, ladder, and lattice lacing styles, or luminescent shoelaces for those who like a little glow on their feet.
The Upper Material
The upper part of the skate shoes are often made from enduring materials like leather, suede, glossy nubuck, and canvas. Thick leather offers long-term comfort and skate-resistance, especially when it is treated while canvas is breathable and quick drying. Most upper material is a mixture of materials, such as textile with leather sides, or suede for the toe caps and side panels in canvas for proper ventilation. Some skaters who prefer animal-friendly material opt for synthetic materials, which are not as durable as leather but hold up better than canvas and do not cause odour. Some shoes are environment-friendly, like the hemp style manufactured by iPath. Waterproof material blocks out water and snow, and upper parts of the shoes are also padded for further protection. Super suede is revolutionary suede which looks just like ordinary suede but is extremely long-lasting.
The Outer Sole
One of the differences between skate shoes and ordinary shoes is the large, flat soles which have a strong grip to ride the board well; a standard shoe requirement for safety on any skateboard. A stout sole made from polyurethane or vulcanised rubber can endure the constant abrasive action of the grip tape on the skateboard's surface, protects the heel of the foot from injury from impact, and is tough enough to last. There are two types of skate shoes soles, depending on how the vulcanised rubber is attached to the sole:
Vulcanised Soles
The vulcanised soles are made by a hot process where the rubber is melted or glued onto the shoes. Vulcanised soles are usually thinner, lighter, more flexible, and cheaper than cup soles. Shoes with vulcanised soles are ready for immediate wear and use.
Cup Soles
The more expensive cup soles are made by cold moulding the outsoles onto the shoes with some stitching; they are more stable and longer-lasting than vulcanised soles because they are thicker. However, this thickness means they can add weight to the shoe. Cup soles need breaking in a few days before use.
Other Important Features
To reduce injury to the heel, arch, and ankle, the inner parts of skate shoes are heavily reinforced. Such reinforcements are a boon to skaters, giving an assurance of a safe and pleasant skateboarding experience.
The most common materials used for the shoe's inner lining are fur, fabric, mesh, and fleece. A shopper should give careful thought to comfort, breathability, and durability of the lining fabric, with warm fabrics used in cold seasons and cool fabrics for hot seasons. Tailex is a common lining in footwear because it is waterproof and keeps the moisture out.
The tongue is the upper flap of material that covers the wearer's instep and holds the foot in the right place for a snug fit. For extra comfort, a lightweight or double-padded tongue will protect the feet from injury when trying out some new tricks like the kick flips.
Triple- or double-stitching on the shoe fabric ensures that they will last longer with less wear and tear. A single line of stitching will suffice for those who are less interested in skating than they are in being seen.
Shoelaces for skate shoes are ultra-strong, and must be so to give secure support or they will break easily when least expected. The laces are mostly in flat or round shapes, solid, washable, and waterproof, with their eyelets strengthened with metal so that they do not tear off. Lace loops help to keep the laces out of the way, giving an extra degree of safety. The strongest laces are Kevlar-reinforced.
Heels and Toe Caps
Further protection for the feet and ankles comes in heel wedges, or extended heel airbags to form a soft cushion from injury. Toe caps are usually rubber or non-corrosive steel because softer material will wear out quickly. Some toe caps are perforated for ventilation.
Cutting Edge Technology
With cutting edge technology that enhances performance, comfort, and safety, skate shoes can only get better. Dynamic Grip technology found in DC skate shoes has the outsole with varying thicknesses depending on the area of the sole: soft rubber on the edge, hard rubber on the heel, and medium rubber on the inner forefoot. Stash pockets are great for keeping keys and valuables, while the springy foam material EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) cushion technology moulds itself to the contours of the feet for snug comfort. The shock-absorbing qualities make it ideal material for the shoe's insole. System G2, which has state-of-the-art shock-absorbing features, is another feature coveted by many skaters for their shoes. Not to be outdone, CHT (Coconut Honeycomb Tech) insoles wick moisture away from the surface and give advanced cushioning and arch support, while Globe skate shoes with their unique Hex Trac blend shock absorption and holding power into superior traction.
How to Buy Skate Shoes on eBay
There are thousands of skate shoes on eBay in varied materials, designs, and colours to suit every skateboard and every pocketbook. If you know what to look for, type in the keyword at the search bar on the eBay homepage to browse through what is available. You can also type in 'women skate shoes' with results that can be filtered through 'condition' and 'price'. Since brands are hugely popular for skaters, eBay has plenty of brand skate shoes including Adidas, skateboarder-owned Etnies, Globe, and Vans Era, Osiris, and Nike.
If you prefer, you can select 'UK only', for seller locations and distance down to a few kilometres, and you might find your next pair of skate shoes not very far from home. Take the time to read through the feedback on the seller from other buyers, and contact the seller if you have any further questions. Most sellers will respond quickly and send more pictures of the items if requested. Remember to ask about the seller's return policy and delivery. With local sellers, you can arrange for pick-up and get to try on your skate shoes to see if they fit well and are comfortable, as well as check the laces and soles for signs of wear.
With its roots in surfing, skateboarding has over the years changed from a hobby of the young to a popular family pastime. Before one rushes off to the park, however, she must have the right type of shoes for skating, to prevent injury and bruises and increase comfort so that nothing stands in the way of her perfect 360-degree flip. New and used skate shoes command a higher price than do ordinary shoes because they offer superior protection and comfort while enhancing performance on the skateboard. The extra padding on the side, toes, and heel make for a fun and safe session in the skating park.
Whether one is a professional skater, weekend enthusiast, or toe-dipper: anyone who gets on the skateboard needs the toughest shoes available. Tough skate shoes give skaters the confidence to try out new tricks, because they can count on their shoes not letting them down. Whatever brand, colour, style, or material, a sturdy pair of skate shoes will ensure that all skaters enjoy the ride.
