Dog Hip Dislocation Causes,
Symptoms and Treatment
Dog Hip Dislocation is a disease that can attack young and older animals alike. It presents quite painful symptoms and can greatly affect our pet's quality of life. Knowing the causes, propensities, symptoms and treatments available for hip dysplasia in dogs is indispensable for all pet owners in order to attack the disease in time and thus help improve the lives of our pets.
What is Hip Dysplasia in Dogs?
To understand hip dysplasia in dogs we must have a basic understanding of the joint and how it is being affected.
The dog hip joint forms the attachment of the hind leg to the body and is a patella type joint. The ball-shaped portion is the head of the femur, while the socket (acetabulum) is located in the pelvis. In a normal joint, the ball rotates freely in the socket to facilitate movement, the bones are formed to fit perfectly with each other with the socket surrounding the head of the femur.
To strengthen the joint, the two bones are held together by a strong ligament. The ligament is attached from the femoral head directly to the acetabulum. In addition, the joint capsule, which is a very strong band of connective tissue, surrounds the two bones, adding even more stability. The area where the bones touch each other is called the joint surface. It is perfectly soft and padded with a layer of spongy cartilage; the set contains a very viscous fluid that lubricates the joint surfaces.
In a dog with normal hips, all these factors work together to make the joint work smoothly and with stability. Hip dysplasia in dogs is associated with an abnormal joint structure and relaxation of the muscles, connective tissue, and ligaments that normally support the functioning of the joint. As laxity develops in the joint, the joint surfaces of the two bones lose contact with each other, this separation of the two bones within the joint is called subluxation, and this causes a drastic change in the size and shape of the articular surfaces.
Most dysplastic dogs are born with normal hips, but because of their genetic makeup (and possibly other factors), the soft tissues surrounding the joint cause an abnormal increase in subluxation.
It is subluxation and remodeling of the hip which leads to the symptoms that we associate with this disease. Hip dysplasia may or may not be bilateral, i.e. it affects both the right and/or left hip.

It is subluxation and remodeling of the hip which leads to the symptoms that we associate with this disease. Hip dysplasia may or may not be bilateral, i.e. it affects both the right and/or left hip.
Dogs of all ages are at risk of developing hip dysplasia and thus the resulting osteoarthritis.
In severe cases, puppies as young as five months will begin to show pain and discomfort during and after exercise. The disease will worsen until even normal daily activities become painful. Without medical intervention, these dogs may become unable to walk. However, in most cases, the symptoms do not begin to show up until the intermediate or late years of the dog's life.
The symptoms are similar to those seen with other types of arthritis in the hip. Dogs often walk or run with a gait disturbance. They can withstand movements that require full extension or flexing of the hind legs.
Many times, they move with a 'rabbit leap' on the march. It will show stiffness and pain in the hind legs after exercise in the early hours of the morning. Also, they may have difficulty climbing stairs. In milder cases, dogs will warm up with a gait and momentarily disappear the stiffness with movement and exercise. Some dogs have limp and many will become less willing to participate in normal daily activities.
Many owners attribute the changes to normal aging, but after starting treatment, they are surprised to see a normal and painless return of the gait. As the disease progresses, most dogs will lose muscle tone and may even need help getting up.
Some cases of hip dysplasia are so mild that there are no symptoms, but if your dog appears rigid or has pain in the hips when he or she appears to be unwilling to exercise or climb stairs, or if shows abnormal walking, visit the Vet as soon as possible.
What Dogs Are Likely To Develop Hip Dysplasia?
Hip dysplasia most commonly affects the larger dog breeds, including Bulldogs, Mastiffs, American Staffordshire Terriers, St. Bernard, German Shepherds, and Rottweiler's. However, dogs of all races and of all sizes are susceptible to this hereditary disease, including some small breeds such as French pugs and bulldogs.
What are the risk factors for developing hip dysplasia in dogs?
Hip dysplasia is caused by a subluxation of the hip joint. This creates abnormal wear and erosion of the joint and as a result arthritis and pain develop. The disease process is fairly simple; the controversy begins when trying to determine what predisposes the animals to contract the disease.
Some of the risk factors that have been mentioned are:
Researchers agree that hip dysplasia is a genetic disease. If a parent has hip dysplasia, their offspring are at increased risk of developing hip dysplasia. If there are no carriers of hip dysplasia in the lineage of a dog, then it is very likely that the disease will not contract. We can greatly reduce the incidence of hip dysplasia through selective breeding. Although not a whole litter develops the disease, these animals will be carriers and it is probable that the disease will be shown in its descendants in later generations.
Nutrition, like the number of calories a dog consumes and when in the dog's life they are consumed has a great impact on whether or not a dog genetically prone to hip dysplasia will develop the disease.
Experimentally, it has been shown that obesity can increase the severity of the disease in genetically susceptible animals. It is logical to think that carrying extra weight will aggravate the degeneration of a dog's joints; Including the hip. Dogs that may have been born genetically prone to hip dysplasia and are overweight are, therefore, at a much higher risk of developing hip dysplasia and eventually osteoarthritis.
Feeding your dog a diet that has too much calcium or too little as well as other minerals can also have a detrimental effect on the development of the hip joint. However, with today's complete and balanced dog food this has become an unusual occurrence. The practice of feeding dogs with homemade foods is popular with some dog owners but these diets should be carefully monitored to maintain proper nutritional balance; not just for calcium and other essential minerals, but for all nutrients.
Exercise can be another risk factor. It appears that dogs that are genetically susceptible to the disease may have a higher incidence of the disease if they are over-exercised at an early age.
But at the same time, we know that dogs with large and prominent muscle mass on their paws are less likely to get the disease than dogs with small muscle mass. Therefore, exercising and maintaining good muscle mass may actually decrease the incidence of the disease. Moderate exercise that strengthens the gluteal muscles, such as running and swimming, is probably a good idea.
While activities that apply a lot of force to the joint are contraindicated, an example of these excessive activities would be jumping and exercises such as playing catch the freebie.
How is Hip Dysplasia Diagnosed in Dogs?
Diagnosis of hip dysplasia in dogs is typically done by combining a thorough physical examination that reveals clinical signs of arthritis and pain and x-rays. If a dog is showing external signs of arthritis, there are usually recognizable changes in the joint that can be seen on X-rays.
In addition, the veterinarian may even be able to feel dislocation in the joint or may be able to cause pain through extension and flexion of the hind paw. In any case, the results are clear and generally not difficult to interpret.
How can hip dysplasia be treated in dogs?
Because hip dysplasia is caused by a hereditary defect, there are no products that can prevent its development. There are several surgical options, including a complete hip replacement; however, a combination of healthy diet, maintain a normal weight, exercise, massage, warm and dry bedrooms, common supplements, and potentially prescription veterinary drugs to relieve Pain can help control the disease. Your veterinarian will assist you with a daily pain relief program that is right for your dog.
Helping a dog maintain his or her recommended weight may be the simplest step a pet owner can take with hip dysplasia. Surgical procedures and medical therapies will be much more successful if the animal is not overweight. You, as the owner, have control over what your dog eats. If you feed a quality meal in an appropriate amount for the size, activity level and breed of your dog, your dog should be able to maintain an ideal weight. If your dog is overweight, seek advice from your veterinarian regarding a low calorie dog food and exercise program.
Exercise is equally important in losing or maintaining proper weight. Exercises that provide the good range of motion and favor muscle building are best for hip dysplasia in dogs. Walking, swimming, walking on treadmills, and running slow are excellent low-impact exercises. Keep in mind that an exercise program needs to be individualized for each case depending on the severity of the osteoarthritis, weight, age, and physical condition. In general, lack of exercise can be more harmful than too much, however, the wrong type of exercise can cause more harm.
Warm and Comfortable Sleeping Areas: Most people with arthritis find that symptoms tend to worsen in cold, wet weather. Keeping your pet warm can help you become more comfortable. Providing an orthopedic foam bed helps many dogs with arthritis. Beds with orthopedic foam distribute the weight evenly and reduce pressure on the joints.
Massage and Physical Therapy:Your veterinarian or veterinary staff can show you how to perform physiotherapy and massage on your dog to help relax stiff muscles and promote a good range of motion in the joints. Remember that your dog has pain, so start slowly by caressing the area and advance until you gently knead the muscles surrounding the joint with your fingers using small circular motions.
Making Daily Activities Less Painful: Climbing up and down stairs is often difficult for arthritic dogs, this may mean that going out to urinate and defecating can be very difficult. Many people buy or build ramps, especially on the stairs leading to their yard, to make it easier for their dogs to get out. Ramps also make getting on a car easier for patients with hip dysplasia.
Supplements: Some supplements like Glucosamine with Chondroitin have long been used to treat joint degeneration caused by hip dysplasia in dogs. Helps with cartilage maintenance of the joint. Omega 3 is used to take advantage of its anti-inflammatory capabilities in the joints. Methyl sulfonyl methane helps in the production of collagen and is believed to help reduce the production of scar tissue as well as being a good anti-inflammatory agent.
Medications: There are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory supplements like ChondroPaw® that we highly recommend, to combat the symptoms of arthritis resulting from hip dysplasia in dogs and help, on the other hand, are used to treat the pain and inflammation associated with this disease.
How can hip dysplasia be prevented in dogs?
Taking into account that hip dysplasia in dogs is an inherited condition, it is not possible to establish a way to prevent its occurrence. The best thing to do is to take the necessary care to delay the appearance of symptoms and this is done simply by taking care of the weight, feeding, and type of exercises that our pet does, this increases the time in which it develops Arthritis in dogs with a genetic predisposition.

I went to Quay Dental in Galway and had my consultation with Dr Lisa Creaven - you've probably seen her on the TV adverts for Invisalign - she put me at ease immediately and I decided there and then to go ahead and get my braces :)
It took about 8 weeks from the impressions being taken and sent off to me being called back yesterday to get them fitted! I was super excited and couldn't wait to get them on...
Now at this point I am going to say that OMG, they are sore! I only lasted 6 hours before I had to remove them and even then it was with great difficulty especially the lower brace! I know this is normal and I know it's a sign they're working but I didn't think it would be this sore! After having something to eat and drink, I took 2 Paracetamol and popped the braces back in.
Today is Day 1 and this morning I made a video diary which I didn't upload yet but I have been in absolute agony all day! To make matters worse, I was busy at work and knew it'd take an age to get them off so didn't get to eat or drink anything until I got home at 6pm!
I was in so much pain I could've cried and I've got a blister on the inside of my mouth - I seriously cannot see me carrying on with these if this is going to continue. Had someone told me in the beginning how sore it would be I may well have decided not to go ahead with them!
I maybe just a Drama Queen but I'm finding it sooooo hard to remove them and the whole routine of removing to eat and drink - I think I'll end up a size 0 just drinking water! I've just had to take more painkillers and I'm hoping tomorrow will be a better day because I really can't have another day like today. And did I mention I'm slurring my words a bit and holding my mouth in a funny way?!?!
I keep thinking it'll all be worth it when I've fabulous teeth!

The Whisper Head PTZ Camera: Eerily Quiet & Frighteningly Fast!
Traditional PTZ Cameras
Small, traditional PTZ's are relatively compact, simple units with built-in cameras. They are slightly bland 'eyeball' looking things that are typically used for surveillance and security, or for basic broadcast functions like streaming in-house content or perhaps capturing a corporate event or live show. Where the user has minimal requirements of the camera, these units are a workable solution for simple image capture. The usual price point comes in at around £3,000 for the higher end models like JVC or Sony.
The PTZ camera becomes a little frailer if an operator requires more input than merely turning it on and letting it do its thing. Users who want more functionality are then faced with the conundrum of either going into the larger range of pan/tilt systems – often much more complex to setup and run, and obviously, costing a lot more too – or making do with the very limited functionality of a regular PTZ camera.
The High-Speed Whisper
The Whisper Head, MRMC's latest sleek, high-speed unit considerably closes this gap between the two markets. It gives the best of both worlds, with full control over image capture from a compact portable unit that's eerily silent and frighteningly fast. It's noiseless and almost mesmeric movement is controlled through the usual panoply of external devices: broadcast panel, joystick or through a touchscreen device run by the control software, MHC.
The weather-proof Whisper Head is designed to seamlessly fit into a multitude of different environments that many of the traditional PTZs fit into – from live shows, corporate events, house of worship and the like, to security and outdoor surveillance situations as well as more traditional broadcast requirements.
Functionally and operationally, the Whisper Head is light-years beyond any typical small PTZ – from complete camera control to programmable, repeatable moves, to remote control capture through IP. It has many of the size benefits smaller PTZs have, but with the control, functionality and image quality found in larger pan/tilt systems.
Changeable Camera Option
The Whisper Head also has the capability of changing the camera. Traditional smaller PTZs have the cameras built in and therefore being stuck with the technology it came with. With the Whisper, operators can keep pace with the camera technology landscape while also having a greater creative choice with using the PTZ.
Working with the RovoCam 4k, or another similar spec. camera, you can get extremely high image quality that's typically the reserve of much larger format cameras used on the high-end pan/tilt systems. Weighing in at a comfortable 6.5kg, the head is easy to carry and transport along with having a small physical footprint.
The Whisper Head is in the unique position of having a nice diverse range of usages, covering a wide spectrum of features and functionality that small PTZs have (silent, compact weatherproof and portable), with the added features and benefits of its larger pan/tilt cousin to capture more premium content like sports and other broadcast events – not to mention, its ballistically fast!

Hello friends. Its been a while since I posted. Here's a brief recap: I've been building a chicken coop (all done but the roof), I'm starting work on building a brick oven in my basement (hope to finish by Feb.) and the publisher dropped my manuscript.
Yeah, it was disappointing, it set me back, I crawled into a lonely hole and stopped blogging. They sat on it for more than a year before deciding this. The editor-in-chief was very kind and encouraging, but the acquisitions board didn't have the same vision. So now the manuscript is at another publisher, who said they'd let me know by Christmas if they were going to publish, and of course the holidays got the better of that one. Still waiting to hear.
So you may remember my styrofoam proofing box that I made last fall? One of my facebook friends asked, "but what did the pioneers do, not having styrofoam or an incandescent light?" They set it next to the hearth. But this got me thinking about how we might let our lack of understanding push us to take cheater steps. I've been baking larger volumes of bread lately (25 lbs. of dough at a crack) and in the course of wondering if I might need a 20 quart mixer or bigger, I came across a short French video. The guy mixes up 50 lbs. of dough by hand in a wooden trough in a matter of minutes without breaking a sweat. And then bakes it off in a wood-fired oven. This made me think that we've really missed the boat. Let's see if the link works... ">here.
The video is long (and all in French), and they make you wade through about 45 seconds of advertising before the good stuff. The relevant section starts at about 7:15 on the counter. I found the video through another fantastic website called "The Fresh Loaf" which is a great site for helping serious home bakers hone their game.
So... are you all great fans of technology? Zealous luddites? I guess we're all here online, but what about pioneer endeavors?

The next day we somehow managed to get up real early and we set off at 5:30 am for a walk around the town of Devikulam. I must say, it is a really beautiful town. I just loved it. I would love to upload more photos of it in the blog, but that would make this too long. As we walked admiring the beauty and simplicity around us we came across a church perched on top of a small hill with steps leading to it. We climbed up and this was truly a heavenly experience. With the first rays of the early morning sun hitting us through the trees at this wonderous church , made the experience truly holy and heavenly. It was a different feeling all together to bask in those enchanting rays and watch the mist slowly fade away among the hills and tress, clearing up to reveal a beautiful town. This is a feeling that will remain imprinted at the back of my head no matter what. What a beautiful way to start the day!
Then we went on forward and into the town. The town appeared to be built during the british colonial times. This can be easily inferred from the architecture of the buildings here with those huge brick like shapes and signature british style and colors. We saw a couple of cute little pussies on the way. They really were adorable and were hiding by the house of some advocate. It was very calm, tranquil and soothing to walk through the town and finally arrive at Rajalakshmi for breakfast. I had never had Appam before, and I must say it is quite good and you must try it. After a heavy breakfast and some refreshing tea we headed back to the hotel to freshen up.
We got ready to go surprisingly fast, and got to the auto waiting for us outside. The auto guy turned out to be a real helpful and pleasant-mannered guide, Munnar- If you wanna hire an auto you hire it here. We first went through the beautiful roads absorbing all the enchanting views around us. Then we stopped on the way to look at a tree infested with honey bee hives. The driver told us that it wild bee honey was famous in Munnar and these hives were set up within 6 months of extracting honey from the earlier ones. But I wonder why the bees would want to build their hive in the same place their friends got incinerated ? After about half an hour on the auto again we reached Matupatty dam. It was beautiful but too picture perfect for me. I generally don't fall into love with mainstream places that much, so I din't really enjoy it as much as I had enjoyed my walk in the morning.
Again back onto the auto we stopped at a place called photo point. I never understood the point of naming a place photo point when travellers and tourists are not allowed to shoot photos there. Apparently you had to pay to actually take photos over there and the price would be reasonable only if you were shooting a movie. This again looked very artificial to me. As we went a little forward we stopped by the Indo-swiss farm. We could'nt go in as we needed recommendation and influence. So all we could do was go close to the fence and watch the beautiful cows graze and enjoy the tranquil beauty and wish we had done something to get inside the farm and have a bit of that beautiful cheese which I had been dreaming about.
We went on to echo point. Again I could feel the same artificial beauty(I mighta repeated it a couple o times :P) but then on the plus side we did have a great breakfast – bread omelette and maggi noodles. We also tried cinamon,masala and lemon teas. They were bad here maybe except the masala tea. So my recommendation – maggi noodles and bread omelette.The onward journey to the other boathouse was really good. The views (especially near chundavurrai tea estate) along the road were wonderous and I really loved it. You could just stare out of the auto and get lost in your own thoughts. Ah!….How delightful it was !….
Next on the list was Kundala lake where we wanted to do some boating. More than the lake I loved the huge trees around it. I wish they'd maintain it better, then it would have been even better. The Kundala dam was damn narrow with space for only one vehicle to fit across its width at a time. I wanted to try out the row boat and my friends preferred the peddle boat. My choice was voted out and so we did get on to the pedal boat. It was a leisurely afternoon and I almost fell asleep on it. We saw quite a few ducks and just lazed around in our seats on the boat when we were'nt watching them…..Oh!…we were also pedaling (stating the obvious). Then we got back to the auto where we had o make a choice between the Tata tea museum and Top slip due to lack of time. We chose the Tata tea museum as we could'nt miss that….I definetely don't regret this choice!….it was totally worth it!
Now it was time for the long trip back. We did do some constructive work on our way. We got into a tea garden for the view and the true feel of being in Munnar. It was great. We also bought around a litre of honey for Rs80 thanks to our helpful auto driver, saw lots of trees being chopped and later found out that they were the ones used to make papper, ate passion fruits(awesome!) and fresh carrots before we stopped by an elephant camp. I really wish I paid and took the elephant ride through the tea garden. So hope none of you miss it and start regretting it like me. Then we went on back to the city and to the Tata tea museum.
We hurried into the museum as it was almost time for it to close. There we had a good cup of complimentary cinnamon tea. Then we went in to watch the documentary on the history of the Tea companies in Munnar. It was pretty good.(Except for the actors) The museum was great with a collection of antiques from the british times, everything from telephones and old typewriters to animal trophies. We were then shown and explained the manufacturing process of tea. One thing you should not miss here is buying the white tea and black tea. I had white tea and its just exquisite!….you should definitely try it!
Once we were back at the hotel it was time to take a bath and go back to Rajalakshmi for some good hot dinner. It was a fun night with all of us going crazy for no reason. We finally got back to the hotel to get up at 6 the next morning and move on to the Cochin side.

More Xiaomi Max Details Leaked: Two Versions, One With Snapdragon 820
by Apr 25, 2016 4:59 am1
Now that all the major smartphones from Xiaomi are out, our eyes are turned towards the new product from the company, namely the Xiaomi Max. Xiaomi has already confirmed that the phone will be announced on May 10, alongside a couple of other important products. Now, more details about the Xiaomi Max have been leaked.
According to new rumors, the Xiaomi Max will come in two versions. The top-end variant will be powered by the Snapdragon 820 chipset and there will be other features to play around as well. For example, the phablet is said to come with an all metal body with a fingerprint sensor. Now, while the company hasn't revealed any features of the device, it is rumored that this could be Qualcomm's Ultrasonic sensor. If true, it would join the likes of a few handsets announced that come with this sensor like the Le Max Pro and Le Max 2. Other rumored features of the Xiaomi Max include 3D Touch like pressure sensitive display with a lot more options than Apple's iPhone 6S Plus.

It is said that Xiaomi could be planning to call the high-end version as the Xiaomi Big and the standard version as Xiaomi Max. Further, it is rumored that a Redmi phablet is also in the works and could end up being called as the Redmi Note 4.
So, this was about the high-end Xiaomi Big. But what about the standard version? This particular model should most likely feature a less powerful processor like the Snapdragon 650, as revealed by a recent GFXBench listing. Other features are unknown but considering the chip inside, it should be mid-range.
Remember that most of the details leaked today come via rumors, so take this with a pinch of salt.
Xiaomi will officially unveil the Max, Mi Band 2 and MIUI 8 on May 10. So, looks like its going to be a busy day for Chinese tech fans.
Stay tuned for more details.

There are so many reasons why people go on diet also they have curiosity for dieting and food choices. They have different answers depending on what they believe motivates them. You can ask your friends or your colleagues if they are on a specific diet. Most of them may have started on diet long ago or have just started. Then you can ask why they go through this process. Chances are, you will hear a lot of reasons and unique ways to have successful dieting.
For most people who have been dieting, one major reason is to look better. Probably, they want to look good because it is being required by their job. Some actors and actresses are paid to act on screen and they are required to look their best. Models on runways are expected to be thinner.
Getting thinner; however, is difficult and poses a challenge to some because it involves changing the lifestyle and food habits. Some people go through with difficult ways and means to get thin. Some people also go for healthy options like exercise and eat more vegetables to achieve better built. For others, they just want to satisfy themselves and they experience fulfillment when they get the weight they want.
Facts about Dieting and Food Choices
Other people have misconceptions about diet. Some think that it can be unhealthy and has bad effects to a person's general wellness. Let us square away some information about diet. Diet can be healthy when proper utilization of food and body requirements are met. For example, eating fewer calories than the normal daily body requirement poses threat to your health.
You may not notice any difference on your weight on the initial week of dieting but eventually, as the day pass, you will find that effects of dieting can be visible and can be felt. However, some people choose to eliminate the total fat from food they eat. One should remember that a little fat in food is alright but eliminating total content of fat is bad.
Our body needs a certain amount of fat that when metabolized is being utilized by the body to be used as energy. Exactly about 30 % of fat in the diet is required by the body to use as energy. It is still considered as an important part of the diet and it is recommended that no one should eat a completely non-fat diet.

Inspiration for ideas and action comes from interesting places.
The 7 Day Your Turn Challenge has had its moment of inspiration for me... it wasn't just about blogging again after many moons of being absent from the medium, it was about how I was to blog.
As I mentioned in the Day 1 Post, I've had many blogs, under many names.
All of which were set with a business purpose in mind. Whether it was for promoting software, a conference or just getting affiliate dollars, each blog was, in essence, an insincere reflection of me and my ideas.
All except one. Matsonian's Rants. That was, for better or worse, a reflection of my ideas, my thoughts and what I wanted to share.
It was pure. But then came Facebook. And the ideas migrated. Thoughts. Pictures. It was all shared on Facebook.
Who needs a blog, right?
But my realization was that I do. I need a blog. Well more so, I need an outlet for my thoughts. And a blog is as good a place as any.
That's the inspiration so what's the action? I merged them. I merged all the blogs. Each of my little post places. Sincere or not, all got merged into one new blog at matsonian.blogspot.com.
So now the blog is back to sharing my thoughts, sharing my inspiration, sharing my action.
Cross platform. Cross discipline.
And truly crossed ideas.
The Blog of Matson "Matsonian" Breakey.
Thank you.

Being in my late 30s I grew up just like most other kids my age with the expectation to find someone of the opposite sex, get married, have kids and/or become career focused (since career was such an 80s era drive).
I was definitely attracted to boys growing up but also had an infatuation with a particular female here or there. I think the first female that really caught my eye was Jennifer Grey. I'm not exactly sure why, maybe her curly hair,her sassy role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, or maybe just the particular picture I found but I had a photo of her plastered on the inside of my "secret" area of all my early pre teen stuff.
Time went on and I just brushed my occasional infatuation over a girl as wishing I was more like that particular female. I did tend to pick women that had at least some similar features to me and having something I admired.
Time went on and in college I was in my second serious relationship with a male. I had a chemistry class in which, there was chemistry. There was a girl whom sat in front of me and I had my first serious girl crush. It was quite overwhelming at the time because it was the first time I admitted to myself that I didn't see all women as friends or just women, I was sometimes attracted romantically. Nothing ever happened with this girl outside of my fantasies and my starting of coming out.
My best friend for a few years in college was gay. He was the first person I came out to, or at least came out as questioning myself and admitting I had a girl crush. He made me feel comfortable with my feelings and gave me an outlet to express my inner thoughts and feelings.
A year or so passed and I found myself being attracted to more and more women. I came out to my boyfriend as "curious". He was accepting of this and allowed me to express my thoughts with him which made me feel comfortable with my "crushes". As time passed I knew I was attracted to both sexes but didn't know if my attraction to females would extend beyond that, an attraction. I met friends whom would tell me that they found both sexes attractive but couldn't "emotionally" connect to both.
It wasn't until I was 34 that I was single and back into the dating world after a long relationship. This finally gave me the opportunity to see if my attraction to women was just physical or if it could be emotional too.
Over 4 and a half years later I can tell you that I find both men and women attractive physically and emotionally. I do tend to be more attracted to those that don't fit well into a gender role, especially considering I don't think I fit well into the gender role of a female.
I am currently with a guy and I feel like maybe I am confusing some people. In the last three years I have had 2 relationships and both were with females. Even to myself it is a little weird. I had to get used to thinking "boyfriend" instead of "girlfriend". I think I also find myself doing things like this blog to say "no, I'm not a lesbian but I'm no straight girl either!"
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have always been a bisexual and will always be. I recently read a blog by Single Dad Laughing that I found I could definitely relate to.
Oftentimes I get to the end of a blog, like this one, and try to figure out where exactly I was going with all of this and how do I wrap it up. I will end it with this, I'm with a guy right now and that might be for quite a long time and it doesn't mean I was straight all along or it may not last and I find myself with a girl and that doesn't mean I was a lesbian all along. I am Karen, I love a person, not a gender. I think more can relate to that idea than are willing to admit to the world.

The VisiMAX® vision system
The break-through vision system technology that allows the robotic system to react instantly with its environment!
The VisiMAX vision system communicates constantly and consistently with robotic system, providing the RotaryMATE the ability to identify all the elements necessary to maximize performance. Two VisiMAX cameras allow the system to determine if a cow is in a stall, her leg position and teat placement. Once the cow teats are identified, the RotaryMATE applies sanitizer to each teat, accurately and consistently. Applied to the dairy's preference, the RotaryMATE saves labor costs and teat dip usage.


text: Okay, this question is sort of out of the realm of computers, but not totally. First I'll tell you what I'm looking for. I'm looking for some type of adapter to go from S-Video to a "normal" coaxial cable input. Okay, the reason. I have an iBook that I hook up through the VCR's RCA jacks to a projector (I have to do it this way because it compresses the screen image from top to bottom)... anyways, the projector only has S-Video connections or VGA (I realize I can hook-up my computer through that, but I can't because of other reasons I mentioned). So, I need to go from a S-Video on the projector to coaxial connector on the VCR. Can any of you guys help me out with this?

The Song of The Hurrian's.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
- John Donne
Think about that great poem as you read this....
Perpetual War has been the 'Deliberate Policy' of our ruling classes for over 50 years.
Only now, with the advent of social media and the data flow of the internet, is the true cost of this criminal policy becoming understood by the general populace.
Further; as millions of people across the globe are being brutally displaced by the burgeoning effects of their constant and *planned* warring; which has heaped misery on top of desperation to 4 generations on human beings, and gradually spread its malignant influence across every continent over the last 5 decades, can this cost now be assessed fully.
Make no mistake. The refugee crisis we are witnessing in the Middle East, and the one coming out of the continent of Africa has been caused wholly by the greed of our political leaders and their true masters in the Banking Sector who use our military industrial complex as a tool to oppress ordinary people around the world so that they can enrich themselves.
This is not conspiracy theory, it is merely the way it is, and it is a fact we must face up to before they plunge the world into an even greater darkness.
Understand, very few of our politicians have clean hands in this. The bigoted (and racist) world view our Elite cling to, has been the true making of this current humanitarian catastrophe. What we are currently witnessing in the Mediterranean Sea is not the random singular effect of a minor conflict in a far off and backwards land of uneducated illiterates.
Oh no, this is a global disaster brought about by a system of command and control which is entirely in favour of a ruling class clinging on desperately to an out dated system which grants to them untold privileges and power which are entirely unmerited.
Humanity is failing because the wrong people across the globe have all the power. It is that simple.
In order to save ourselves, to save our species, to save our planet; we must soon oust these criminals from their ivory towers of privilege or perish, because they will not surrender their privilege willingly, nor without a fight.
Of course those who state these thing will be labelled 'Alarmists' or 'Crazy Conspiracy Theorists'. When we challenge power we have to be prepared to face such bullshit denigration, it is what they always do.
People like Jeremy Corbyn and Bernie Sanders are being smashed with the far rights propaganda machine on a hourly basis. Whistleblowers are being labelled Traitors for exposing the criminal behaviour of their leaders. Writers, Poets, Academics, and journalists across the world are being attacked by the far right scum. And in some countries - they are openly being rounded up and disappeared into the bowels of state prisons, or as is becoming increasingly clear, left to rot in unmarked graves.
Syrian children being washed up dead on a Turkish beach is not the random ill chance of a lone desperate family, it is POLICY.
And that Policy is PERPETUAL WAR!
And here is a truth you need to get your head around pretty darn fast because if you think for a moment that it could never happen to you and your family, because you live in a CIVILISED SOCIETY; let me tell you a simple fact which possibly, just possibly; might give you pause for thought.
The oldest surviving *written* musical notation, and *complete written melody* so far discovered in from human history, does not come from Egypt. It does not come to us from China. Nor does it, you may be surprised to learn, come down to us from Ancient Greece.
It comes to us from the people who until very recently inhabited the totally secular, and very WESTERN STYLED society of modern day Syria.
The Hurrian civilization dates back to 3000BCE. The Hurrian Hymn [of which I speak here] actually dates to the very end of their civilisation, circa 1400 BCE.
Modern day Syria had Schools, Hospitals, Doctors, Nurses, Academics, Museums, Arts and Sciences. It had beautiful music, roads, trains, an air fleet, a navy, an army, a police force, a judicial system, and countless wonders that have evolved from the deepest reaches on mankind's past.
And because our hidden masters wanted a fucking pipeline to go through Syria, and because Assad was/is in bed with a nation vying for economic, gas and oil power supremacy, our hidden Masters trained, armed, and funded ISIS and set them upon a unsuspecting people, and 4 years later Aylan Kurdi ended up dead on a beach and on your TV.
Understand, this shit will not stop unless you rise up and overthrow those miscreant criminal bastards who rule us. This isn't about David Cameron, he is just a puppet, a running dog. He is the fall guy we are given as a figurehead so that we have somebody to blame, somebody to shout at.
This is about Capitalism and the enslavement of the many by the few. This is the same fucking battle our fathers fought, this is Fascism.
And just across the sea, not 30 miles away the disaster looms large. It is already descending upon the people of France, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Greece, Italy in a Human Wave of misery and despair. And yet thousands of you are taking to Twitter, spouting your hate and bile - tweeting you pig ignorant bullshit that 'They are all scrounging sand niggers who want our homes, our jobs, and or, a life on benefits'?
Are you stupid?
If you think for one moment that what happened to the people of Syria will not happen to you because you live in a CIVILISED country, then you need to have a rethink - because they already had a CIVILISATION whilst our ancient forefathers were still fucking about in the mud.
Our Masters do not care whether you live or die, they care only that they are in power, and they will fuck any country in order to maintain that dominion!
In the end it comes down to this simple statement which you can accept, or rise up against.
"You are a slave, you have no voice" - Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; 26 April 121 – 17 March 180 AD
It's up to you.

During the Nineteenth Century the novelists seem never to have
been troubled by the claim to omniscience which is at the base of
their art. First signs of discomfort in regard to it appeared in Flau-
bert and Turgeniev. It became acute in Henry James and now in
some form or other undermines the self-confidence of all story-
tellers. Are readers believing that our stories are "true" and in what
sense do we believe them ourselves?
This is the crisis of the novel. Writers for the stage are not con-
fronted by it.
The assumption of omniscience is no less present in writing for
the theatre, but once the action is passing upon the stage we are not
aware of the narrator who is presenting it to us. A novel may be
described as "everything pertinent to our understanding of an action
or a series of actions" and throughout a novel we are aware that
an all-knowing intelligence is recounting to us this pertinent matter.
On the stage, however, it is always "now"; no intervening editorial
voice is present; and in a very dramatic sense our seeing is believing.
InThe Ides of March I tried to dispense with the fictional nar-
rator. When one purports to recount the thoughts of a Caesar, a
Cicero, and a Catullus, the claim to omniscience becomes doubly
preposterous. All art is pretense but the pretense of the historical
novel is particularly difficult to swallow. I therefore moved the pre-
tense over to a different terrain: I pretended to have discovered
a large collection of letters and documents written by these notable
persons. I attempted to coerce belief by submitting a sort of ap-
paratus of historical method and scholarship. It all "looks" more
credible than if I had written a running narrative full of such
phrases as "Caesar remembered their first meeting" and "Cleopatra
concealed her anger." But more important from the point of view
of credibility was the fact that I had approached the effect of the
theatre. Each of the letters and documents is in the present tense;
no narrator is heard describing the whole action as having taken
place in the past. As on the stage each speech rises from the actors
in an immediate spontaneity--as their "time" on the stage becomes

Great way to combine a Chicago vacation with camp. Adult classes offered at same time so parent can take classes too. (I did - was quite fun!!) Our son LOVED this camp and made fast friends. Every day was an adventure and he regaled me with stories from class about what he'd learned and what they had performed/created. Counselors and teachers were kid-friendly and made class and breaks fun. Good class management, students always engaged. We chose this atypical option because our son is a perfectionist and sometimes doesn't enjoy working with others. 2nd City teaches how to deal with mistakes (there are no mistakes, only opportunities), work with other people, say "yes AND" to build on each others' ideas, etc. A perfect learning situation, especially for a kid that loves performing.

While they may include a few presentations about the social and emotional development and needs of gifted people and the challenges facing the gifted population, these presentations play a minor role. SENG conferences reverse the priorities. They believe that recognizing, understanding, and accepting the social and emotional needs of this population are the first priorities for teachers, parents, and counselors. SENG supports strong gifted education programs, but believe the emotional piece is the foundation for the development of healthy, happy, well-adjusted, appropriately educated, and contributing gifted members of society.

I also appreciate the great discussion that's going on in the comments - you folks post comments faster than I can respond to them, but other commenters are making many of the same responses that I would make, so all's well as far as I'm concerned.
My main point in this post was just that, whatever you think of universals such as numbers and propositions, colors at least are not mind-independent. In TLS, Feser made mind-independence part of his definition of realism:
The view that universals, numbers, and/or propositions exist objectively, apart from the human mind and distinct from any material or physical features of the world, is called realism.... (p.41)
And in his argument for realism, he emphasized that
When you and I entertain any concept - the concept of a dog, say, or of redness.... - we are each entertaining one and the same concept; it is not that you are entertaining your private concept of red and I am entertaining mine, with nothing in common between them.
In his first response, though, he seems to concede both these points. When he distinguishes between "RED" (the sensation or experience) and "red" (the physical properties that produce this sensation), he defines them as follows:
RED: the qualitative character of the color sensations had by a normal observer when he looks at fire engines, "Stop" signs, Superman's cape, etc.
red: whatever set of physical properties it is in fire engines, "Stop" signs, Superman's cape, etc. that causes normal observers to have RED sensations...
These definitions both refer to "a normal observer" and so are implicitly mind-dependent definitions. (Unless Feser thinks we can define "normal observer" without reference to the physiological and psychological properties of human beings.) And he states
And even if it turns out that what you call RED and what I call RED are qualitatively different, that wouldn't make any difference either. For then it will still be the case that every instance of RED in my sense of "RED" is an instance of the same one universal, and every instance of RED in your, different sense of "RED" is an instance of a different universal, and so forth.
But in that case, we wouldn't be entertaining one and the same concept.
Feser calls his position "Scholastic realism,"
...on which universals exist either in the things which instantiate them or in intellects, but where the latter includes the divine intellect, in which they pre-exist as the archetypes according to which God creates.
That they can exist "in intellects" seems to allow for a certain amount of mind-dependence of universals - clearly a more nuanced view than what he presented in the book. I don't understand why this mind-dependence doesn't put him in the conceptualist camp, rather than the realist camp. But it seems that on the basic point - the mind-dependence of colors - we are in agreement.

Determining the right school for your son or daughter doesn't have to be stressful. With so many aspects to consider, it is understandable you may feel uncertain about your options, but a school placement consultancy can provide support. School placement is a service that is intended to make your life easier, as school placement consultants can provide expertise and behind-the-scenes understanding when it comes to placing your son or daughter in the best school possible. For the best experience, there are a few things to consider when looking for a school placement consultant.
The best school placement consultant should walk you and your son or daughter through the entire process – from finding the right school, to the application process, necessary tests and any interviews. Providing invaluable advice, school placement consultancy is an asset for many parents that are seeking to place their child in the best school that suits their child and family's individual needs.
Here are the key things to look out for when selecting a school placement consultancy:
1. A consultant that will get to know your child – It's important the consultant listens and understands your child's individual needs, their goals and aspirations, their strengths, and weaknesses. No two children are the same and a consultant should match the child's personality to the school ethos before finalising any potential school choices. It is important as a parent to ask yourself "Do they really understand what we need?"
2. A consultant that will accompany you on visits – Not all consultants will accompany you on your visit to a school. However, one that will do school visits is a big bonus. A good consultant knows the appropriate questions to ask and can usually facilitate extra access for you so you can observe the teaching and environment your child may be stepping into. A consultant will notice things you may not. You can compare notes afterward and discuss your feelings or concerns.
3. A consultant that has experience in entrance exams - Choose a consultancy that's experienced in the entrance exams required for your first-choice schools. Application processes and entrance exams change every year, so you need the understanding and assurance of no unpleasant surprises coming up for your child that will affect their confidence or performance. A great suggestion is to ask your consultant what they know of last year's processes and how it differed from the year before that.
4. A consultant that offers support for interviews or tests- A good consultant will offer your child plenty of support in practicing and preparing for interviews or tests. The consultant should be experienced in the different styles and approaches each school takes in their interviews. This should be discussed at length to prepare your child. A consultant may offer tutoring that will fill in any gaps or additional needs for your child.
5. A consultant that won't make false promises - A good consultant will not promise you impossible milestones your child may not be able to reach. They should be providing you with a practical framework - not telling you what they believe you want to hear. The determining factors for your child's placement depend on numerous aspects, so it is advisable that you always have a backup plan.

My series 'Hide and Seek' is now on show at cafe Kopi Susu. It's a cultural cafe around the corner of my house in Utrecht. Where you can enjoy nice coffee, Portuguese tapas and Indonesian snacks. The exhibition is up until January 4th 2017.
I have photographed about 20 people with a leaf in front of their face and worked with double exposure. Although I shot the images with my digital camera, I work in a analogue way, so I don't use photoshop to create illusions. That's all done with the camera 🙂
Kopi Susu, J.P. Coenstraat 69, 3531 EP Utrecht
There was an article in the dutch newspaper 'Algemeen Dagblad/Utrechts Nieuwsblad' about the exhibition. 😀

EU and US reach agreement on data exchange for businesses
The European Union and the United States have agreed a series of changes to the Privacy Shield agreement. European member states expected to vote in early July on the implementation of the revised Privacy Shield.
In mid-April the group of European data protection authorities had to know that there are "major flaws" sit in the Privacy Shield agreement, though the group called "Article 29" positive about most of the contract. The working group had problems with the commercial part and the part about public safety. Biggest pain point was the ability to gather citizens' data in bulk.
A change in the agreement include the US government to explain better when security forces of that country data in bulk collect and how the country ensures the security of the data concerned. Reuters has managed to figure out a letter to the director of the US National Security indicates how it collects information about the activities of a terrorist group in the Middle East that is thought to have those goals in Europe.
The service says in that letter that not collect any information from the world, the security of that country. A new privacy officer would be appointed by the US are going to deal with these complaints from EU citizens on espionage. The official would operate independently of the security services.
Privacy Shield to be the successor of the Safe Harbour arrangement, the European Court of Justice invalidated in October 2015 stated .

I mixed two yarns for this girl's hair and I LOVE how it turned out. I have two more Kit, Chloe and Louise dolls ready for hair but now I need to hit the yarn store first and see if I can find cute yarn to go with these colors I'd picked out.
I made a sparkly deer. Oh, I love her. She's so cute and just how I was picturing her. I made her from a tiny glittery tweed J.Crew miniskirt I found at the thrift store. She's a tiny bit on the backburner because she's got more of a holiday vibe going and I have more Fall coziness themed stuff that I want to get done. Like a woodland elf I just started. And I was going to try a chipmunk friend for miss mouse.
For those waiting for the fox pattern, things are looking good! I think she'll be done much sooner than I thought.
