» Urine Marking & House Soiling
1yr female cat,not spayed,not sick, peeing everywhere.tried suggestions about cleaning.Think getting spayed will help?
This problem just started in the past few months since she started going into heat. It started with her peeing on my sons bed, then my daughters, now mine. I have another cat and this 1 year old has lived with us since she was 8 weeks old. Litter box Clean, no new food, no new litter... nothing has changed. I have an appointment to get her spayed, but I'm not sure that is going to fix anything. I have bought Nature's Miracle and tried so many suggestions. My husband thinks we need to get rid of her and I don't want to give up yet, but she is really making it hard for me to convince my husband otherwise. Does anyone think spaying will stop this behavior?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Yes, spaying will help stop this behavior. An unspayed female cat will "mark" her territory to attract male cats. Also, is the cat getting locked in the bedroom with the door shut? If so, you need to make sure that she doesn't get locked in the bedroom. Are your kids old enough to realize that if she has to go to the bathroom, she will use their bed or elsewhere if she can't get out. I would definitely get her spayed because she will eventually get out of the house and come back pregnant! Then you will have an unspayed cat and kittens to deal with. That will be a big expense. Please get her fixed NOW!

Yes, spaying should help with the problem in addition to being healthier overall for her. Spayed cats are at less risk for certain cancers and it eliminates the risk of uterine infections. And eliminates the annoyance for you of having her in heat. I would also have the vet check to be sure she doesn't have a urinary tract infection. That can also lead to peeing in inappropriate places. Also be sure that your other cat is not intimidating her from using the litterbox and that is in a quiet secure place where she can get to it easily and doesn't feel threatened when she is using it. Since you have 2 cats, you should also have at least 2 litterboxes. There is no way to "assign" a specific one per cat, but there should be more than 1 available.

Yes, cats in heat do sometimes mark with urine. If your other cat is also female, even if she's spayed, there may be territorial issues now that the younger cat has entered puberty. Spaying is likely to solve this problem, although not 100% guaranteed to do so. If money is a problem, ask your local shelter or animal society for cheap options. Please don't let your husband make you get rid of her--if she goes to a shelter, it's almost certain death. If you must rehome her, do it yourself with someone you can trust. And do spay her before she has kittens, because your husband will NOT like the responsibility of having to find homes for the wee ones. The next time you get a female cat, do go for an early spay--before 5 or 6 months. If the cat weighs enough, this is a safe procedure, and it's healthier to spay before a cat has gone into heat. Also, a vet will not want to spay your cat when she's undergoing a heat cycle, so you'll have to be careful with timing. Good luck!

Ask your husband if he will give you and your kitty a little more time, to see if she will stop marking after she's spayed. Also, ask your vet for suggestions on how to stop this. I have begun using "Zyme Away", which is available over the Internet to remove pet urine stains in my home. When you use an enzymatic cleaner, no matter what it is, (you can also use "oxy" detergent from the grocery), you must let it set on the stain for at least an hour to give the enzymes a chance to digest the urine. It's not like a regular household cleaner than you pour on and scrub up. It's also possible that if she is marking on beds, the odor has gotten into the mattress. She will continue to use these areas as long as she detects her odor there. If you cannot afford new mattresses, you can buy a plastic matress cover for the old ones to stop her from smelling herself there. Please tell your husband that when a cat is "gotten rid" of for marking inside, the chances of it being rehomed are very slim.

What to expect owning a German Shepherd
My parents are going to allow my brother to adopt a male German Shepherd puppy.
Our family consists of two dogs already,an Alaskan Malamute 3 years old (spayed) and a 5 month Golden retriever (male).
When the German shepherd matures will his personality changes like,will he try too dominate my two dogs.
I've only really greeted one German Shepherd.My friend German Shepherd was a great dog(friendly),well behaved and good with his other dog. His German shepherd was really trained though.
Michiiko and Tiger
I think it will be fine since he will be raised with the other two dogs. I'm sure other more experienced folks will have good advice though.
Thank you for replying
Well, I was gonna say get used to shedding, but ya already have a shedder in the Malamute.
GSD stages as I know them:
Puppy(weeks to year or so). Imagine a smallish agile robot designed to bite. Imagine it's intelligent and learning and cute as the dickens. There is your puppy. They bite. Did i mention the proclivity to bite?
Adolescent(year-ish to 3-y/o). Still a bit mouthy, will listen to an extent if you have something really cool to offer or do. Athleticism tops off, body fills out. Slowly becomming a real dog.
Adult. 3 y/o or so and on. Wonder dogs. Psychic level intuition and razor sharp minds. Loyal to a fault and bond like mad to their human. It's worth the time invested in the puppy/teen stages because an adult GSD is just a wonder to behold. Strong leadership will forge a dog that almost seems to good to be true. Banjo(rip) surprised me up until he was dying, Cable(3 y/o) is now doing things that blow my mind.
As to wanting to be Alphish acting, depends on the dog. thus far my dogs are happy to see me happy and leave it at that. I'm in charge and they know it and seem just dandy with it. probably less stressful for them to look to me for direction. I take great pains to make sure I steer them correctly and it has worked beautifully so far.
these dogs do not train themselves, so be ready for some good training, as in obedience classes.
One can never predict how a puppy will end up behaving with existing dogs in the household as an adult. Depends on the temperament of all involved.
There seems to be a rash of posters lately who didn't seem to do their research and are at their wit's end with their high-energy puppies, so I'm just going to throw it out there to reiterate: exercise! Exercise! Exercise! They need a LOT of exercise and training- more than most people expect. Mouthiness comes with the territory- it will pass.
Your future pup's siblings are adorable :)
op, depends on the gsd, and the pups temperament.
dang that is one nice looking golden retriever pup!
It sounds like you may not be on board with the GSD? This will be your brother's dog?
Since everyone's a boy, it should be ok. Don't worry about dominance. Your pup and his pup are both close in age which could be an issue, but if one or both are neutered before they are 2, chances are you aren't going to get into the major dog-dog issues.
Training is key with all dogs. I am not sure what your brother is planning to do. But what you can do is have such a fun time taking your dogs to classes and training them, that he will want to do the same with his boy.
Lots of people have GSDs with other dogs with no problems.
whatever you and your household put into training
and socializing is what you're going to get out.

GSD's living in cities ??
Does anyone have a GSD in a city like NYC? I am moving from rural VT to NYC for school and I want to keep my boy. Suggestions? Experiences? Anything would help!
i would think it would be hard to go to school and have time to exercise your gsd. having said that, there are many dogs in nyc including all breeds. seems to be very dog friendly.
Commute to NYC and find a place in the suburbs. The public transportation there is excellent. I grew up in NJ, would walk three houses down the street to the bus stop, where they had bus service every 30 minutes to NYC and was there in less than 30 minutes arriving at the port authority. If you lived in NYC, I would think you'd want to live near a park which is probably expensive - there's Central Park and Battery Park and probably grassy areas along the rivers.
I lived in Manhattan for 6 years - I did not have a dog at that time. If I were to move back to NYC with my dog, I would look in Brooklyn - there are a lot of dog friendly neighborhoods in that borough.
Brooklyn is the only part of NYC where I can imagine having a dog of any kind. I won't pretend to be even vaguely acquainted with anything but Brooklyn and Manhattan, though, so if an actual inhabitant of NYC says otherwise, trust them over me. Commuting from NJ, as Gretchen suggested, might be more doable; that might be a good option to look into.
Country-to-city can be a difficult transition for a dog who's accustomed to the quiet rural life, and NYC is a LOT denser, noisier, and more congested than even the most crowded parts of Philly. More expensive, too, for everything from dog food to vet care -- and it can be very hard to find places that'll rent to a tenant with a big dog of an "aggressive" breed.
You can make it work, if you're willing to put in the time and effort (and money), but it does take some doing. If I were in your shoes, I'd spend some time thinking honestly about what would be in the best interests of my dog.

The Spinners
Originally, called the Domingoes, the Spinners formed when the quintet members were high school students in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale in 1957. At the time, the group featured Bobbie Smith, Pervis Jackson, George W. Dixon, Billy Henderson, and Henry Fambrough. Four years later, they came to the attention of producer Harvey Fuqua, who began recording the group -- who were now called the Spinners -- for his Tri-Phi Records. The band's first single, "That's What Girls Are Made For," became a Top Ten R&B hit upon its 1961 release and featured Smith on vocals. Following its release, Dixon was replaced by Edgar "Chico" Edwards. Over the next few years, the group released a series of failed singles, and when Tri-Phi was bought out by Motown in the mid-'60s, the Spinners became part of the larger company's roster. By that time, Edwards had been replaced by G.C. Cameron.
Though the Spinners had some R&B hits at Motown during the late '60s, including "I'll Always Love You" and "Truly Yours," they didn't have a genuine crossover success until 1970, when Stevie Wonder gave the group "It's a Shame." Motown never concentrated on the Spinners, and they let the group go in 1972. Before the band signed with Atlantic Records, Phillipe Wynne replaced Cameron as the group's lead vocalist. Wynne had previously sung with Catfish and Bootsy Collins.
At Atlantic Records, the Spinners worked with producer Thom Bell, who gave the group a lush, seductive sound, complete with sighing strings, a tight rhythm section, sultry horns, and a slight funk underpinning. Wynne quickly emerged as a first-rate soul singer, and the combination of the group's harmonies, Wynne's soaring leads, and Bell's meticulous production made the Spinners the most popular soul group of the '70s. Once the group signed with Atlantic, they became a veritable hit machine, topping the R&B and pop charts with songs like "I'll Be Around," "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love," "One of a Kind (Love Affair)," "Ghetto Child," "Rubberband Man," and "You're Throwing a Good Love Away." Not only were their singles hits, but their albums constantly went gold and charted in the Top 20.
Wynne left the band to pursue a solo career in 1977; he was replaced by John Edwards. Though none of Wynne's solo records were big hits, his tours with Parliament-Funkadelic were well received, as were his solo concerts. In October 1984, he died of a heart attack during a concert in Oakland, California. The Spinners, meanwhile, had a number of minor hits in the late '70s, highlighted by their disco covers of "Working My Way Back to You" and the medley "Cupid/I've Loved You for a Long Time." During the early '80s, they had several minor hits before fading away from the charts and entering the oldies circuit, reprising their earlier material for 1999's new studio effort At Their Best. Bobbie Smith, who sang lead on several of the Spinners' '70s hits including "I'll Be Around" and "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love," died from complications of pneumonia and influenza in March 2013. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Epatha Merkerson, and Miss Universe 2005, Natalie Glebova. Grammy award-winning recording artist India.Arie provided her song "Strength, Courage & Wisdom" from her album Acoustic Soul for the campaign.
The series follows Kismet's work on the 2004 campaign, which was directed by Joel Schumacher. This year's campaign launches on cable television in support of World AIDS Day, December 1, 2005. In each spot, celebrities discuss the weapons they use in the fight against HIV/AIDS: their mind, heart, and voice.
According to Kismet Films owner/producer Greg Pace, the studio spent three weeks in preproduction. The HD shoot took place over two days with talent loosely following a script. Imagery was shot in color, but was lit for the final delivery format of black & white. Manwaring then edited the first seven of the twenty :30 spots in just under a week. Sound mixing and color timing was also handled by Manwaring using Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut. Oliver Cary served as director of photography on the project.
A behind-the-scenes documentary about the campaign is also in the works, as are :15 and :60 edits of the numerous PSAs, some of which will be shown in theatres.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers today announced that QB Jeff Garcia has been added to the NFC squad for the 2008 AFC-NFC Pro Bowl. Garcia, the NFC's first alternate at quarterback, replaces Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre. The annual all-star game will take place Sunday, February 10 in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Garcia's appearance in the 2008 Pro Bowl will be the fourth of his career and first as a Buccaneer, having played in the contest in three consecutive seasons following the 2000-2002 seasons as a member of the San Francisco 49ers. It marks just the third time in Buccaneers history that a quarterback has been named to the Pro Bowl, joining Trent Dilfer (1997) and Brad Johnson (2002).
Garcia joined the Buccaneers as a free agent prior to the 2007 season and helped lead Tampa Bay to its third NFC South division title in six seasons. He became the first quarterback who made his debut in the Super Bowl era to start a playoff game for a division winner for three different franchises. Garcia finished the season as the NFL's seventh-rated passer (94.6) and ranked second in the league with a team-record 1.2 interception percentage. In 13 starts, Garcia completed 209 of 327 pass attempts (63.9 percent) with 13 touchdowns and just four interceptions. His 197 consecutive pass attempts without an interception to begin the 2007 season was also a team record.

NM board OKs $688K for wildfire aid, flooding
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The state is [auth] offering emergency loans of $688,000 to local governments coping with damage from a wildfire in southern New Mexico and to strengthen an earthen dam at risk of failing if rains produce expected flooding in fire-scarred areas of Lincoln County.
The state Board of Finance approved money Thursday for the county and the village of Ruidoso, which are scrambling to prepare for flash floods in the wake of the Little Bear fire that burned 44,000 acres and destroyed about 250 homes and other structures.
About $216,000 is to beef up the dam at Alto Lake by installing large rocks along parts of it to prevent the dam from being eroded by flood waters that flow into the reservoir.
"My big fear is that when we get a flood event of any size … that we will lose Alto Dam," Randall Camp, Ruidoso's utilities director, told the board.
There are homes downstream from the dam, which is in the county near the small community of Alto. The 52-foot-high dam was built in 1965, according to the state Engineer's Office.
Camp said the concern is that a flash flood could overwhelm a diversion channel and the dam's spillway, allowing water to flow over the top of the dam and erode it.
Rain will cause flooding because the fire denuded the area's steep mountainous terrain, allowing water to race down into streams and rivers.
County and Ruidoso officials warned that the area faces possible flooding for several years, not just this summer from seasonal monsoon rains.
People are greatly at risk from flash floods because water volumes quickly spike, giving area residents little notice of the danger. Camp said water flows in a flood after the fire could run up to 4,000 cubic feet per second in one of the area's main watersheds, which previously would average about 124 cubic feet per second previously.
The board provided $254,000 for the county to prepare for flooding. Much of the fire damage and the loss of homes occurred in the county and officials said there were 2,500 homes in the path of potential flooding. Debris and trees are being removed that could clog floodwaters and damage bridges. The county expects to spend almost $1.4 million by late August on flood mitigation.
"We're very, very concerned about the safety and welfare, and especially the lives of people who live in these areas," said Lincoln County Manager Nita Taylor.
The board also provided $218,000 for Ruidoso for a radio communications system that can be used to keep in touch with emergency personnel and local officials. Cell phone service in poor in canyons and the area's steep terrain, and landline phone service failed during the fire, the board was told.
The Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management had requested $452,000 for a flood warning network, machines for filling sandbags and equipment for rescuing people caught in flood waters. However, Gov. Susana Martinez said those costs could be covered through a state disaster declaration that makes $750,000 available for wildfire assistance.
The board, which is led by the governor, has the power to make emergency loans and grants as well as approving certain contracts and state bonds.

The Big Brother series saw Ten's commercial share of the national audience in the 6pm to 10.30pm time slot jump from 26.2 per cent to 30.2 per cent.
Ten's new-found dominance in the all-important 16 to 39-year-old demographic has inflicted serious damage on Nine's nearest rival, Seven, whose share fell from 36.2 to 31.8 per cent. Nine maintained its lead, rising from 37.6 to 38 per cent.
Under Ten's analysis, it rose from 34.1 per cent to 39.3 per cent to clinch the No. 1 spot in the 16-to-39 category. Seven dropped from 31.9 to 26.5 per cent and Nine remained virtually unchanged at 34.2 per cent.
Seven was less forthcoming with its statistics. The only ratings guidance it provided was the fact that two of its shows, Hot Auctions and Room for Improvement, had made it into the top 10 list of programs so far this year.
But the Commonwealth Games are expected to revive its fortunes.
"It's probably the last quarter which will be a true indication as to how the whole year has been washed up," said Barry O'Brien, chief executive of media buying agency Total Advertising and Communications.

I did too, but I'm proud… to the max.
I went through them all. A couple I actually bothered to bookmark for further self-abuse or to annoy people at work.

Citation: Yingru, C., Liming, S.H., Bhagwat, A.A. 2004. Occurrence of inhibitory compounds in spent growth media that interfere with acid-tolerance of enteric pathogens. International Journal of Food Microbiology. 91:175-183. Interpretive Summary: Food safety has become a major and increasing concern in recent years. We are studying the problem of microbial safety of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are often acidic. The ability of human pathogens to survive in an acidic environment is critical in their ability to cause disease. Acidic produce, such as apple cider and juice, as well as fresh-cut (pre-cut, pre-packaged) melons and tomatoes have been implicated in recent outbreaks of infections caused by E. coli O157:H7. Survival of pathogens such as E. coli O157:H7 for extended periods of time on fresh-cut produce is a serious cause of concern. In this study, we found that some compounds remaining in the media after growing these bacteria under laboratory conditions decrease the acid tolerance of E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Vibrio, three important foodborne human pathogens. Therefore, these compounds may be useful as a treatment for limiting growth of human pathogens on fresh produce. The compounds retain their function after treatment at high temperatures. Thus, in addition to offering ways to limit growth of human pathogens on fresh produce, they may also offer novel ways to improve microbial food safety of processed foods, which often receive a form of heat treatment. Understanding acid tolerance of human pathogens will benefit the food industry, as well as increase the microbial food safety of the food supply of all Americans.
Technical Abstract: Understanding the acid-tolerance ability of enteric human pathogens is critical in determining microbial food safety and the associated risk. We have discovered naturally occurring compounds in the spent growth media, which inhibit the acid tolerance ability of several enteric human pathogens when challenged at pH 3.0 for 2 h at 37°C. The compounds were detected in the spent growth media obtained from Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., and Vibrio cholera, but not from Shigella flexneri. The compounds were effective in reducing pathogen survival by 5-logs during acid challenge assay. The low molecular weight (< 300 Dalton) and heat resistant nature (121°C, 15 min, at 15 psi) of the compounds make them excellent candidates to explore their suitability as food additives that would increase microbial food safety.

It's not the gas. People keep blaming gas for hit and misses. Let me tell you guys from experience. I have been using the cheapest (premium) gas on all my premium cars, BMW and 911s, for nearly 40 years, and I have never had a gasoline related problem. Old wives tales are hard to break, and this is definitely one of them. Come on guys, processing gas is the same. The only difference is the amount of detergent and other junk they put in it. The cheap gas has sufficient detergent to keep your car from missing and stalling. Amen!
Get 100 octane or jet fuel to run your cars. If you feel good about it, go ahead, but don't blame the off brand gas. Sure, I use Shell or Chevron, but only if Costco or Arco isn't around.
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein

Remember the other day when I said that it was really rainy and the summer was pretty mild here in North Carolina? Well the storms are gone and the heat and humidity are in full swing. My hair and the humidity do not mix here and it is a hot mess! But on the flip side, I am able to BBQ again. And these Chipotle Chicken Kabobs turned out amazing!
The chipotle spice gave this the right amount of kick and awesome flavor. Then dipped in the Avocado cream sauce was so amazing. I love fresh avocados so this cream sauce was perfect! Just another grilling hit to add to the list! 🙂
- 2 lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¾ tsp chili powder
- ¾ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 chipotle in adobe sauce, seeded and minced
- minced fresh cilantro for serving
- 1 avocado split and pitted
- ½ cup lowfat greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- Whisk together vegetable oil, salt, chili powder, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, brown sugar, and chipotle pepper.
- In a gallon sized bag combine marinade and chicken and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
- Once ready to grill, thread the chicken on skewers. Place them on the grill turning once or twice until sides are cooked and insides are no longer pink. Place on a plate and sprinkle with fresh cilantro if desired.
- In a food processor combine avocado, greek yogurt, garlic, lime juice and cilantro. Pulse until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve with chicken.

Moonshine: A Novel (edition 2010)
by Alaya Johnson
Work details
Moonshine by Alaya Johnson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was such a delightful mess of a book with everything through in for a good measure - gangsters, vampires, social activists, demon hunters, jazz and The Prohibition, of course. Can't have roaring 20s without it!
Oh, I forgot djinn! The mysterious stranger with a dark sex appeal, the client whose dragging Zephyr in his messy dealings with gangsters started all her troubles. Yep, meet Amir.
Zephyr is a no-nonsense skinny activist, a do-gooder who fights for social equality between humans and paranormals and teaches latter in the night school. She is also an ex-demon hunter who saw that her family business was indiscriminately killing all paranormals no matter if they were criminals or not and stepped away from it. She is also a vegetarian just for the hell of it. Because you know, the rest is not enough.
So, Amir hires her to find this gangster who he suspects is a vampire. To do so, Zephyr needs to infiltrate a gang of teenage vamps who terrorise the whole neighbourhood by their unhinged cruel ways. She offers to teach their leader to read.
At the same time there is another mystery waiting to be solved - Zephyr found a brutally turned into a vampire little boy on one of the streets, and she needs to find his mother in between her detective work, protests and her newfound singing career...
The situation gets worse when her dad and a bunch of demon hunters arrive into town and his and his daughter's mark coincide...
Not only this book is full of fun, plenty of action and great characters, the atmosphere is fantastic! New York and its dirty dangerous streets, its horrible conditions for immigrant workers, and poverty are beautifully described, and I loved it!
This mix of urban fantasy and historical fiction has a great kick to it, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to find a kick ass character in a historical setting.
Wicked City, the next book in series is only available as hardback in UK at the moment. I can't afford it, but as soon as it's printed as paperback I'll buy it!
Meet Zephyr, the vampire suffragette (she's not a vampire, though, quite the opposite). This book hooked me and wouldn't let go. First of all, the setting: New York City, 1920s. Female heroine very involved in social justice who's also a teacher. Does it get any better than that, I wonder?
The plot reminded me of The Godfather, in a good way - different factions of a city fighting for power and blood, with a lot more social commentary than Mario Puzo's novel as well as a dollop of supernatural elements. It touches on many things - society's systematic oppression of immigrants and anyone who isn't white and human (I thought the parallel between supernatural creatures' status and that of a whole bunch of minorities was very well brought up), feminism, religion and class. Zephyr is an unforgettable heroine - finally a character I can fully root for! Doesn't happen very often but she's passionate, driven, idealistic and down-to-earth and just plain charming. I loved her and it was a joy following her in New York.
While I found the romance at first a little tedious (but then again, I'm not the best audience for romance, which I always find boring to read), I'll have to admit even I was interested by the end. It's got some interesting twists and turns and while I'm not completely sold on Amir, he was a funny character.
This book passes the Bechdel test easily - Zephyr has interactions with Lily and Aileen that are about more than men. Lily is a journalist that I really really enjoyed reading about, she's sharp and smart and I thought her teaming up with Zephyr provided us with some of the best scenes of the book.
Moonshine is a rare gem in that it illuminates a side of the 20s that seems to have failed making it into the history books. That all the luxury of the Roaring Twenties had a price, and for every cocktail paid for, people died of poverty, lacking basic care. That essentially, the Roaring Twenties were Roaring for the benefit of an elite. Zephyr's job (she teaches a range of subjects at her local night school) makes the link between her flapper dresses and immigrants' need to understand the law that works against them.
The reason I'm giving this book four stars is because I wish Alaya Johnson had written more of this world and developed her themes in more pages. Her ideas are wonderful and I think the book would have been even better had she detailed the universe of Moonshine more than she does here. It's fortunate that a sequel is in the works - I'll definitely be amongst the first to purchase it, I can't wait to follow Zephyr again!
Very well written vampire fiction. The cheesy cover does not do this book justice. (A writer of this talent deserves a quality book cover. The publisher should refer to any Cherie Priest cover or Elizabeth Bear's books published through Subterranean Press.)
We are in 1920's post-war New York with Zephyr Hollis. It is part of daily life to share the sidewalk with vampires, faeries, genies, etc.
Zephyr is a social worker who teaches night school to immigrant "Others", volunteers at the blood bank, and helps anyone who asks.
She gets involved in a sweet, slow romance with a student who asks her a favor, a favor that could get her killed. She kicks a** and experiences some amazing action sequences.
Very well researched: you feel immersed in the 20's with language, clothing, prohibition, politics, etc. Easily one of my favorite books this year. Already ordered the 2nd book which I hope is one of many Zephyr Hollis books to come.

How did I possibly miss Moonshine! Zephyr Hollis, former vamp hunter and current crusader for social causes, teaches night classes to immigrants and the underprivileged, but by day, takes part in all manner of protests and marches. The only problem is, these endeavors are not going to make her rich, and when she's approached by one of her students to find and help take down a vicious vampire mob boss, she takes the job. Little does she know that her handsome, charming employer will soon become more than just a job.
Moonshine takes place in '20s New York, in the midst of much social strife, which keeps a girl like Zephyr pretty busy. But make no mistake, Zephyr is one tough cookie. She can kick butt, too. Literally. Mostly vampire butt, and there are plenty of vamps roaming around. However, she's all for vampire rights, just not for the ones that think turning a small boy is their idea of sport. When she finds said young boy in an alley, covered in vampire bites, she has no idea what her discovery will lead to. But she'll soon find out.
I really enjoyed following Zephyr around '20s New York as she navigates her way through vampire family secrets, her own growing attraction to the handsome Amir , who's definitely more than human(even I had a crush), not to mention the pressure of her own family (who's interests are most definitely NOT in the vampires' corner.) Add to the mix Zephyr's charming diva of a roommate Aileen, an intrepid girl reporter hot on the trail of the ultimate scoop, and the charm and atmosphere of the roaring '20s, and you've got a charmer of a book. I loved Moonshine from start to finish, and can't wait to crack open Wicked City!
Highly recommended! Zephyr Hollis is the vampire suffragette: though she has a background hunting vampires and assorted Others in Prohibition-era America (NYC by way of Montana), now she does social work and agitates for fair wages and other protections for vampires. When a mysterious stranger enters her life, seeking her help to find a notorious vampire criminal, matters get complicated fast. While some of the plot connections were a bit neat, Zephyr was a fantastic character who both relied on and wanted to escape her past, and I loved her interactions with the multiple other women of importance in her life. The sexual tension between her and the romantic interest was also quite well done; Zephyr is determinedly modern about sex, and her choice to give in to attraction was always a choice. The sequel is coming out next month, so I read this at just the right time!

Soon enough she's tutoring a child criminal with an angelic voice, dodging vampires high on a new blood-based street drug, and trying to determine the real reason behind Amir's request - not to mention attempting to resist his dark, inhuman charm.… (more)

Anticuchos (Peruvian Beef Kebabs)Get authentic Peruvian flavor by rubbing the steak with a fiery spice rub of hot paprika, black pepper, and turmeric and serving with a savory yellow bell pepper sauce.
Jamaican Jerk Beef KebabsAdd island flair to your grilled kebabs by coating the beef cubes in a spicy hot mixture of habanero pepper, allspice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Grill red bell pepper and ripe plantain pieces on skewers with the beef for a complete meal.
Steak and Avocado KebabsRich avocado provides the perfect foil to lean sirloin steak. Use avocados that are firm, not mushy, in order to maintain their shape on the grill.
Chicken Kebabs with CouscousThe bold flavor in the chicken kebabs comes from the Indian spice blend, garam masala, curry powder, and feta cheese. Marinate the pieces of chicken in the spiced yogurt mixture, grill on skewers, then serve over Israeli couscous.

Salmon, Asparagus, and Fresh Lemon KebabsPink-fleshed salmon is a nutritional powerhouse, along with asparagus and lemons. The three together make these kebabs uber healthy (and delicious).
Lemon-Soy Beef Kebabs with Pearl CouscousFor maximum flavor and tenderness, marinate the beef cubes overnight. You'll need 8 wooden skewers (12 in. long), soaked in water for 30 minutes.
Lemony Chicken Kebabs with Tomato-Parsley SaladHere's a six-ingredient dish that delivers big taste with minimal fuss. If you're pressed for time, cut the marinating back to 15 minutes--lemon flavor will still come through.
Teriyaki Pork and PineappleA 3-ingredient marinade of mirin, sake, and soy sauce adds sweet and salty flavor to the pork tenderloin, onion, and pineapple chunks. Grilling caramelizes the natural sugars in the pineapple and onion and brings out their amazing sweetness.
Lamb, Tomato, and Mint KebabsLamb and mint are a classic combo, but this spin-off ditches the mint jelly for fresh mint leaves.
Steak-and-Vegetable KebabsMake a meal on a skewer by grilling sirloin steak pieces with bell pepper, onion, and zucchini, then serving over salad greens.
Yogurt-Marinated Chicken and Zucchini KebabsMiddle Eastern-inspired spices and Greek yogurt create a tangy marinade for humble chicken breasts, while thick zucchini slices hold up well on the grill.
Classic Beef Shish KebabsThe trick with this shish kebab recipe is to cook the beef separately from the vegetables so nothing overcooks. You can prepare this recipe on an electric grill pan, charcoal or gas grill.

LORETTO, Pa. (March 21, 2010) - On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, the Saint Francis women's lacrosse team lent credence to the old phrase "Hope springs eternal," defeating the Long Island Blackbirds 17-13 to lift the Red Flash to 5-3 overall and 2-0 in the Northeast Conference.
The Red Flash are, for the first time in program history, two games over .500, and have won two NEC games in a single season for the first time in program history. By the end of today's games, the Red Flash can be no worse than tied for first place in the conference.
The Red Flash struck first at 29:42 when Catherine Helming (Canandaigua, N.Y. / Canandaigua Academy) put her first goal of the game past Blackbirds keeper Amber Meek. Exactly three minutes later, Danielle Conwell (Succasunna, N.J. / Roxbury) notched the first of her team-high five goals to give the Red Flash a 2-0 lead.
The Red Flash kept the pressure on the Blackbirds in the first half, building their lead to as great as five goals, first at 8-3 off another Conwell goal, and eventually ended the half 10-5 thanks to a late tally from from Kate Simmons (Delran, N.J./Delran), who scored with 21 seconds remaining.
The Flash would push their lead further in the second half, but a second yellow card issued to Conwell at 21:14 meant she would not return to the game. SFU's lead would reach as high as seven goals when Stephanie Toomey (East Rochester, N.Y./East Rochester) notched a goal at 12:07 to make it 15-8, but Long Island was not ready to go down without a fight. Putting on a furious charge, the Blackbirds scored five of the next seven goals in the game, but there simply was not enough to complete the comeback as the Red Flash held on for the 17-13 win.
Red Flash goalkeeper Danielle Pokusa (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) was proverbial first star of the game, making 15 saves in the victory. Despite missing the final 21 minutes of the game, Conwell led all SFU players and tied for the game-high with five goals. Chelsea Kent (Winter Springs, Fla./Winter Springs) tied for the team lead in points, notching one goal and four assists. Toomey recorded four goals and led the team with 13 shots, and also forced one turnover.

- All topics offer a downloadable Certificate of Completion after an evaluation has been submitted.
Online Training Seminars
19 video presentations (each divided into three parts, totaling 45-60 minutes in length) with downloadable handouts (PDF).
- Seminars can be watched individually or by several people together. They can also be projected on a screen for presentation to groups, at a staff meeting, or as a conference breakout session.
Self-Instruction Guides
20 downloadable and printable PDFs, 20-30 pages in length, developed for individual and group learning, with pre- and post-reading self-assessments, a "Featured Reading" from a respected source, discussion questions and "try-this" exercises, and an annotated list of further reading references and Web links.
- Self-Instruction Guides are downloaded by each learner, so your audience can develop a personal library of volunteer management information.
- Added bonus! The library provides an audio recording (MP3 file) of each Guide for online listening or downloading to a portable listening device. This gives your learners even more flexibility in when and how to access the information.

The last several days or so I've had random, sudden, sharp pain on the side of my abdomen (mostly on the left). Sometimes it comes on while just sitting, and other times when I roll over in bed in the middle of the night. It doesn't last very long and it's not like I'm incapacitated by it at all. It's just new and strange and leaves me wondering what the heck it going on. Dating US put the baby in my uterus so no concern about ectopic pregnancy. From my internet sleuthing, I suspect it's round ligament pain, but am not really sure. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions? Oh, and in case it matters, I'm 15w5d...
That sounds a lot like my round ligament pain. I didn't know it could happen when I was sitting still (it's been happening all the time while moving since eight weeks for me), but my midwife said that it's from the uterus popping out into the abdomen.
This sounds exactly like what I'm getting, and my midwife said definitely round ligament pain. Sorry you're in pain. I've found that lying int he fetal position for a bit helps, but really, it's just a low grade pulling most of the time interspersed with some high impact jabs. I'm trying to remember it means serious bump-ittude is coming!
Feel better!
1st baby, born 2/25/12. . Married to environmentalist husband, trying to stay calm and trust my body.
Thanks for the reassurance, ladies!! It's really nice to have people to commiserate with about this stuff. There are just so many things no one tells you to be prepared for during pregnancy.... I didn't even know I had "round ligaments" until a couple of days ago . Is it too much to hope for that they will get good a stretched out now so that it's smooth sailing later on? Regardless, bring on the bump!!
i've been having this too - especially when I sneeze or get up too quickly, lay in a certain position, or move suddenly in a certain way. It also happens sometimes if I pull my daughter onto my lap.
i remember it happening with my dd's pregnancy for several weeks, but maybe it lasts shorter with some people. I don't like it either!!!
Loving wife to DH and

mama to DD (11/08) and DS (2/12) and expecting another little boy (4/15)
I had round ligament pain for most of my pregnancy with DD. And unfortunately, it's only supposed to get worse with subsequent pregnancies, which so far has been proven true for me. I'm 13 weeks now and have been getting RLP since about week 5. I mostly notice it at night when I roll over in bed like you had originally mentioned. Other than that, it can be very sudden and sharp when I stand up after sitting a while. The only good thing is that it's reassuring to know that my uterus is growing strong :)
I just posted about this in another thread, so sorry for the duplicate info for those of you who are reading both, but ask your midwife/ob about MSM. It's a sulfur supplement that's good for connective tissue and it saved my life last time. It was so bad with baby #3 that I really just wanted the things removed! Who needs them anyway? I had a swimming class my last trimester and there weren't any stairs out of the pool--just a ladder--and I would stand at the bottom of the ladder breathing and psyching myself up for the pain that would slam into me when I emerged from the water. Totally debilitating! Couldn't do flip turns either. And sneezing? Coughing? Rolling over in bed? Getting out of bed? Oh, just kill me now!
With #4 I had a midwife who suggested MSM daily and then Complete Tissue and Bone topically. Totally changed my life! If I took the MSM daily, I had zero problems with those round ligaments. If I forgot to take it for a few days, it would flare up and then I'd use the CT&B, which worked great to soothe the pain in the moment, just not so much as a preventative. Then I'd immediately get back on track with the daily MSM usage and all would be well again. I highly recommend it!

The Harder They Come - Classic Film Pick
Perry Henzell's 1972 rugged reggae crime story--loosely based on a '40s-era Jamaican folk hero/criminal--plays like a musically-inspired docudrama of the raw social reality of the impoverished island nation in the '70s. Henzell's exclusive use of non-professional actors adds to the film's undiluted commitment to cultural identity under a unique set of military, political, and capitalist circumstances. Co-written by Henzell and Trevor Rhone, this independent masterpiece was released in the States via Roger Corman in 1973. It soon became a midnight-movie cult favorite. Henzell's intuitive use of expressive roots reggae songs makes the perfect impact; songs blend together from recording studios, dance halls, and transistor radios. Jimmy Cliff plays Ivan Martin, a country boy who moves to Kingston to begin a career as a reggae singer. Ivan's mother sets him up with a local preacher (Basil Kane), whose female charge Elsa (Janey Bartley) attracts Ivan's romantic attention. A bicycle Ivan builds in order to court Elsa incites Ivan to violence when another man tries to keep it. A hard brush with the Jamaican justice system has a lasting effect on Ivan's sense of ambition. After his release, Ivan also discovers cold truths about the Kingston music monopoly presided over by local record producer Hilton (Bob Charlton) when he records an infectious song he's written. "The Harder They Come" correctly helped make Jimmy Cliff an international star--he contributed four songs to the film ("The Harder they Come," "Many Rivers to Cross," "You Can Get it if You Really Want it," and "Sitting in Limbo"). Cliff's charisma comes across with every bead of sweat that drips from his face despite his character's dead-end actions. "The Harder They Come" can also be viewed as a Blaxploitation film inasmuch as it gives clear expression and rebellious action to its ghetto-trapped subjects. The inextricable link between the film's music and its plotline leaves an indelible imprint on your ears and central nervous system. If you want to begin to understand reggae, watch "The Harder They Come."

Browning Buckmark makes one of the best shooting auto loader 223's out there. The Ruger's are really nice too but I like the triggers a little more om my Browning. I have a MKIII and a Buckmark and would not want to get rid of either.
If a revolver is to your liking there are several. THe S&W's are at the top of my list in that area but I'm really fond of those old High Standards too.
A 10-22 Ruger rifle is also a must have for kids young and old alike.
