PET SITTERS, ANEMIA, AND "DUE DATE"....
You may think of your dogs or cats as family members, but do you handle their food and feeding utensils the same way you handle your own? You should! You wouldn't eat off the same plate or drink out of the same glass, day after day, without washing them between meals. So it stands to reason you shouldn't neglect to wash your pet's food bowls between meals every day and the water bowl every day or two.
Dogs and cats (just like people) have bacterial microbes in their mouths and these microbes can be transferred to dishes the pet eats and drinks from. Food left in the dishes can provide the microbes with a good environment for multiplying (moisture, oxygen, and nutrients) and can produce illness in people who touch the dish, or the pet, that eats or drinks from the dish.
The same good hygiene practices that apply to handling and storing food for people also apply to food for pets. Leftovers should be stored in a closed container and refrigerated if the food is moist.
To be safe, remember to wash your hands in warm, soapy water after touching pet food and feeding dishes. And wash and dry your pet's dishes and storage containers before refilling them with new food. Both you and your pet will be safer if you do.
Last week's poll questions showed that not only are only about 10% of you including your dog in your Halloween plans, but also only 5% of you reported that any of your pets have been poisoned by any of the Top 13 poisons listed. Helpful Buckeye thinks that our readers are really trying to keep your pets out of trouble...continue your vigilance! Be sure to answer this week's poll questions in the column to the left.
Helpful Buckeye wants to remind all new readers that a comprehensive index of previous topics discussed in Questions On Dogs and Cats appears in the column to the left, under the heading of "Labels." Simply click on any topic and you will be directed to that issue of the blog. Several regular readers have written to say that they make it a habit of clicking randomly on a few topics after reading each new issue. Try it...it could serve as a good review.
CURRENT NEWS OF INTEREST
The American Kennel Club always tries to preserve the integrity of pure-bred dogs. Thus, their effort in providing this disclaimer reminding potential dog owners not to get starstruck by French Bulldogs, featured in the new movie, Due Date.

DISEASES, AILMENTS, AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Anemia is something you've all heard of and most of you are aware that it has something to do with blood levels in the body. However, did you know that anemia is not a disease in itself, but rather a sign of another disease?
Anemia is defined as an absolute decrease in the red cell mass as measured by any of several lab tests. It can develop from loss, destruction, or lack of production of red blood cells (RBCs). Anemia is classified as regenerative or nonregenerative. In a regenerative anemia, the bone marrow responds appropriately to the decreased red cell mass by increasing RBC production and releasing immature RBCs (reticulocytes). In a nonregenerative anemia, the bone marrow responds inadequately to the increased need for RBCs.
Clinical Findings:
Clinical signs in anemic animals depend on the degree of anemia, the duration (acute or chronic), and the underlying cause. Acute anemia can result in shock and even death if more than a third of the blood volume is lost rapidly and not replaced. In acute blood loss, the animal usually presents with rapid heart rate (tachycardia), pale gums, weak pulses, and lowered blood pressure. The cause of the blood loss may be obvious, such as trauma. If no evidence of external bleeding is found, a source of internal blood loss must be sought, such as a ruptured tumor of the spleen, a blood clotting malfunction, a gastro-intestinal ulceration or parasites. If destruction of RBCs is present (hemolytic anemia), the patient may appear yellowish (jaundiced or icteric). Patients with chronic anemia have had time to adjust, and their clinical presentation is usually more quiet with vague signs of lethargy, weakness, and loss of appetite. These patients will have similar physical examination findings, pale gums, tachycardia, and possibly enlargement of the spleen or a new heart murmur, or both.
Diagnosis:
A complete history is an important part of the work-up of an anemic animal. Questions might include duration of clinical signs, history of exposure to toxins (eg, rodenticides, heavy metals, toxic plants), drug treatments, vaccinations, travel history, and any prior illnesses.
A blood cell test, including a platelet and a reticulocyte count, will provide information on the severity of anemia and degree of bone marrow response, and also allow for evaluation of other cell lines. A blood smear should be evaluated for abnormalities in RBC shape and structure and for RBC parasites.
A serum chemistry panel and urinalysis are also important for evaluating organ function. If gastro-intestinal blood loss is suspected, an examination of the feces for blood and parasites can be useful. X-Rays can help identify other internal disease processes, such as a penny (zinc toxicity) in the stomach of a puppy with hemolytic anemia. Bruising or bleeding may be signs of a clotting defect and indicate the need for a clotting profile test.
Bone marrow evaluation might be necessary in any animal with an unexplained, nonregenerative anemia.
Causes:
Acute blood loss can lead to shock and even death if >30-40% of blood is lost and the lowered blood volume that develops is not treated aggressively with IV fluids or compatible blood, by way of a transfusion. Gastro-intestinal parasites, such as hookworms in dogs, can lead to severe blood loss, especially in young animals.
Many infectious agents—bacterial, viral, rickettsial, and protozoal—can cause anemia, by direct damage to RBC or by direct effects on forerunners of RBCs in the bone marrow.
The anemia of chronic disease can be characterized as mild to moderate and nonregenerative. It is the most common form of anemia seen in animals. The anemia can be secondary to chronic inflammation or infection, cancer, liver disease, adrenal or thyroid disease. Treatment of the underlying disease usually results in resolution of the anemia.
Nutritional deficiency anemias develop when micronutrients needed for RBC formation are not present in adequate amounts and usually develop gradually. Starvation causes anemia by a combination of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Iron deficiency is the most common deficiency seen in dogs but occurs less commonly in cats. Iron deficiency is rarely nutritional in origin—it most commonly occurs secondary to blood loss.
The American Veterinary Medical Association offers this informative podcast of the causes and treatment of anemia in pets: http://www.avmamedia.org/display.asp?sid=294&NAME=Anemia_in_Pets
NON-MEDICAL CONCERNS
More pet owners are opting to have pet sitters come into their homes and take care of their pets when needed. The editors at Pawnation.com have put together a list of considerations to think of when contemplating the use of a pet sitter:
When it comes to hiring a professional pet sitter are you a helicopter parent that leaves detailed pooping and walking spreadsheets? Or are you more of the hands-off type who feels perfectly comfortable letting your sitter do his or her own thing?
A well-prepared sitter can keep your pet happy and anxiety-free while you're away, greatly reducing the number of chewing, scratching, and/or bathroom accidents occurring in your home. The question is: How do you ensure that you've given your pet sitter all the necessary tools to keep your animals relaxed and healthy?
To get a little expert guidance on the subject, we've enlisted the help of Paul Mann, founder of Fetch! Pet Care. Beyond the basics like emergency contact info, your vet's phone number and a medicine and food schedule (all of which are obviously quite important), Mann encourages owners to focus a little bit on your pet's psychology when preparing for a sitter.
Spell Out The Animal's Daily Schedule: "Pets are truly creatures of habit," Mann tells Paw Nation, "They get into liking their routine, so the idea is to figure out how to maintain that routine." For example, if you take your pup for a walk every morning, ask your pet sitter to do the same. If your cat likes to chase the yarn around in the evening, tell your sitter.
Explain What Makes Your Pet Happy: "A good professional pet sitter should ask what your pet likes to do, then maybe over-satisfy them in that way," Mann explains. In fact, he recommends that you schedule an in-home consultation with the sitter so they can interview you and meet your dog, cat, bird, etc.
Make Sure Favorite Items Are Handy: When it comes to the actual items to leave for the pet sitter, Mann recommends things like "an old t-shirt, bedding, and their favorite toys to keep the familiarity there for the pet." Ideally, the pet sitter will be visiting your pet at your home, says Mann, but these items are even more important if you plan to board.
Keep Your Exit Low-Key: Mann recommends that a little exercise before you leave can help keep your pet's mind at ease. They'll be napping instead of worrying about where you are. Whatever you do, Mann cautions that you refrain from breaking into the tearful 'I'm going to miss you so much' routine. "Just exit like you usually do," Mann explains, "Dogs pick up on those things and it creates anxiety."
Find Out What Other Pet Parents Do: We asked some of Paw Nation's Facebook friends to share what they leave for their pet sitter:
• Donald MacMelville: "It's a three-page document. Location numbers, cell numbers, feeding instructions, Vet numbers and address and MapQuest, emergency contacts, walking instructions, etc. People think we are crazy."
• Pamela Grant Goldman: "When I had three dogs, I started a journal for pet sitters: I'd leave detailed info and instructions, and they'd leave entries daily on who ate what, etc. These days, a friend stays with my dog and we text at least once a day and he sends me photos of my little guy playing outside."
• Tara Anderson: "I leave feeding instructions, emergency cash, along with phone numbers. I get daily texts. My cat sitter is great. She plays with my cat and cooks her a special shrimp dinner! When I return, I get a note from my cat detailing all of the fun she has."
• Lisa Faynor Bartine: "I have a friend of the family stay over, and I leave four pages of emergency and routine info, and call every other day."
In next week's issue, Helpful Buckeye will discuss the pros and cons of using a boarding kennel for your pets.
BREED OF THE WEEK
Several of our regular readers have asked that Helpful Buckeye consider re-instating this topic into the weekly format. They all said they enjoyed learning more about the less popular breeds of dogs and cats. So, let's get back into the swing of this and begin with the Bloodhound.
As described by the AKC:
Described as a "unique looking dog in a baggy suit," the Bloodhound is one of the oldest breeds of dogs that hunt by scent. Although affectionate, they can possess shy natures, sensitive to kindness or correction by their master. Colors of the Bloodhound include black and tan, liver and tan, and red, sometimes flecked with white. The actual term "Bloodhound" refers not to what the Bloodhound trails but instead refers to its status as the "blooded hound," meaning aristocratic, since such great lengths were taken early on to keep the strain clean.
A Look Back
The Bloodhound made its appearance in Europe long before the Crusades, when the first specimens were brought from Constantinople in two strains, black and white. Established in America for over a century, it proved early on to be a tireless worker for law enforcement, being so accurate that evidence trailed by a Bloodhound has been accepted in a court of law.
Right Breed for You?
While Bloodhounds are extremely affectionate, they are take-charge dogs, so it is important to be kind, but be the undisputed boss in your household. Bloodhounds should be groomed weekly to eliminate dead hair and facilitate a routine that will help them look, feel, and smell better.
• Hound Group; AKC recognized in 1885.
• Ranging in size from 23 to 27 inches tall at the shoulder.
• Scent tracker.

EDL supporting Wilders demo.Counter-protests.Part 2
Press release antifa!-amsterdam antifa
Press Release: EDL demonstration embarrasment, anti-fascists very satisfied with counter-protests.
Antifa! Amsterdam is positive about the course of the demonstrations and actions today in Amsterdam.
In many ways today it became crystal clear that no'one over here wants the kind of fascist street-activism as the right-wing English Defence League hopes to export to mainland Europe.
The demonstration of the EDL / DDL was an outright failure, not more than 50 protesters eventually took the trouble to show their support for Wilders. This while the organization, even after the forced relocation to a midle of nowhere spot in the western docklands, still said this week to expect up to1,000 supporters.
In the end, the meager turnout (in particular on the part of the Dutch Defence League, only a few of the protesters were Dutch) and the fierce resistance that they were confronted with should be an omen about the future prospects of their crossing of the channel.
This while simultaneously a broad range of hundreds of people and dozens of groups showed throughout the city their disapproval and anger about the coming of the racist scum to the capital.
Antifa! Amsterdam expresses support and appreciation to each and everyone who has gone out on the streets today against racism and xenophobia.
From the hundreds of protesters who protested at 1941 general strike monument, the dozens of activists that spread over the city to prevent that the EDL would still showup in the center, to the many people who decided to ignore the emergency orders from the mayor and went in direct action in the docklands.
The great variety of people who have come today in opposition is a clear signal, from young immigrants to experienced activists, from soccer fans to social organizations.
In particular, the presence of Jewish individuals and the reform movement in Iran, for whom the EDL pretends to speak, and the high turnout of football fans that the EDL consider as their natural support, show that people are not deceived by the EDL.
In summary Antifa! Amsterdam considers the day as overwhelmingly successful, and calls on everyone to keep fighting, in resistance against discrimination, hatred, fear and extreme right violence.

Benefits of Vitamin C
Vitamin C boosts Immunity
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is responsible for the production of collagen, which is a material that holds the body tissues together. Regular intake of this vitamin will ensure that cuts and bruises heal faster due to increased collagen production holding the tissues and cells together. Vitamin C is water-soluble meaning excess amounts are eliminated from the body in urine. However large amounts of vitamin C are known to cause kidney stones and stomach upsets due to acidic properties.
The absorption of Iron is significantly enhanced by Vitamin C intake making it ideal for the treatment and prevention of anemia. Vitamin C deficiency is evidenced by weak muscles and joints, black, swollen and bleeding gum (also known as scurvy), lose of teeth, tiredness and even depression. Other acceptable sources of Vitamin C apart from citrus fruits include mangoes, paw paws, strawberries, kiwifruit and tomatoes. The outer covering of ginger or is also known to contain high levels of Vitamin C. With all these health benefits, little wonder that Vitamin C is so popular.
1.000 demonstranten bij de Dokwerker
ENTHOUSIASME EN STRIJDBAARHEID BIJ ANTIRACISME DEMONSTRATIE
Ruim 1.000 demonstranten hebben zaterdag bij de Dokwerker in
Amsterdam duidelijk gemaakt dat ze pal voor Artikel 1 van de Grondwet
staan. En dat deze bijeenkomst een begin is om een breed protest
tegen racisme op te zetten. De manifestatie richtte zich tegen het
beleid van de regering (gesteund door de PVV), waardoor discriminatie
van bevolkingsgroepen normaal lijkt te worden.
Op de manifestatie van het Platform tegen Vreemdelingenhaat bij de
Dokwerker waren volgens de gemeente Amsterdam 1.000 demonstranten,
terwijl het pro-Wilders protest van de extreemrechtse DDL / EDL in
Amsterdam-West slecht 50 mensen trok.
Het Platform tegen Vreemdelingenhaat bestaat uit 25 (minderheden-)
organisaties die zich zorgen maken over de snel toenemende
intolerantie in Nederland. Bij de Dokwerker spraken ondermeer
Mohammed Rabbae (Landelijk Beraad Marokkanen), Jaap Hamburger (Een
Ander Joods geluid) en Lydia Rood (Schrijfster en columnist).

Leegstaand kantoor in Utrecht gekraakt (met tijdslijn)
Leegstaand kantoor in Utrecht gekraakt (met tijdslijn)
Wilhelmientjes
Vandaag heeft een groep woningzoekenden bezit genomen van het oude KPN gebouw in Utrecht. Het pand staat, na een ontruiming vanwege brandveiligheid, alweer ruim een jaar leeg. "Met deze actie willen we laten zien dat kraken nog altijd noodzakelijk is." aldus kraker Rogier: "Het alternatief werkt niet; de gemeente is verantwoordelijk voor deze leegstand."
Op 1 oktober is de wet kraken en leegstand van kracht geworden. Hiermee is kraken onder alle omstandigheden strafbaar en heeft de gemeente instrumenten gekregen om de leegstand te bestrijden. Er is echter gegronde twijfel of deze instrumenten wel effectief zijn en of gemeenten er überhaupt gebruik van gaan maken. In Utrecht is in ieder geval duidelijk dat men geen leegstandsbeleid gaat voeren. Volgens de gemeente is er geen leegstandsprobleem. "Er is wel degelijk een groot probleem met leegstand in Utrecht. Zo staat er 170.000 vierkante meter kantoorruimte leeg, dat is 35 vierkante meter per woningzoekende student!" Aldus kraker Rogier opnieuw.
Het vandaag gekraakte pand is een sprekend voorbeeld van hoe de bestrijding van leegstand, mede door toedoen van de overheid, faalt. Dit oude KPN gebouw staat nu ruim een jaar leeg. Op vrijdag 4 september 2009 zijn hier 93 studenten op straat gezet omdat de brandweer het onveilig vond. De toenmalige eigenaar, woningbouw corporatie SGBB, die overigens ondertussen falliet is toen directeur Gerart van der Zwet er met 50 miljoen vandoor is, had geen zin om een paar rookmelders op te hangen. SGBB is ondertussen over genomen door Vestia, de corporatie met de best betaalde directeur van nederland; Erik Staal harkt zelfs meer binnen dan Wouter Bos. Het pand is dit jaar vervolgens voor tien miljoen over gekocht stichting Mitros. 's Lands koploper op het gebied van sloop en achterstallig onderhoud. En geen van deze 'sociale' woningbouw corporaties, die bulken van het geld, is bereid een beetje geld en moeite te investeren om dit pand weer bewoond te krijgen.
Nee, in de plaats daarvan wordt de goedkoopste oplossing gekozen. De leegstand wordt bewaakt door via een zogenaamde 'anti-kraak' constructie. Er is een startende ondernemer in dit enorme kantoorpand te plaatsen. Anti- kraak is een rechtenloze woonvorm die door commerciële bedrijven is verzonnen om de huurbescherming te ontduiken. Veelal studenten wonen voor relatief weinig geld in enorme kantoorpanden. Een van de nadelen is echter de vele strenge en vaak onredelijke voorwaarden. Zo kan een anti-kraker, zonder enige reden, met een termijn van vaak maar twee weken op straat worden gezet. Dit leidt tot zeer onzekere woonsituaties, met vele absurde voorwaarden tot gevolg. Kraakster Annemiek: "In het kielzog van het kraken is een malafide bedrijfstak ontstaan die zich gespecialiseerd heeft in het ondermijnen van de rechten van bewoners." En in dit geval wordt er zelfs niet voor bewoning gekozen, terwijl dit enorme kantoorpand makkelijk honderd studenten kan huisvesten. Kraker Rogier: "Dit is geen alternatief voor kraken, dit is verbloemde leegstand. Zolang de overheid niet bereid of capabel is de leegstand op te lossen, blijft kraken noodzakelijk."

Health Boosting Properties of Spinach
Fruits and vegetables are important for a healthy body and one very common vegetable that is packed with goodness for the body is the spinach. It is known to be the source of many vitamins including Vitamin C, K, A, B2, B6, and minerals such as magnesium, folate, manganese, iron, potassium, phosphorus, protein, zinc, copper, selenium, niacin and omega-3 fatty acids. Spinach is a deep green leafy vegetable that can be consumed in a number of delicious ways for great health benefits including improved digestion. It is good for all age groups including weaned infants and the folate or folic acid is beneficial in early fetal development for expectant mothers.
Spinach as a Multi-Vitamin
Spinach is readily available and affordable in the market and can be grown with ease in the kitchen garden. It can be eaten raw in a salad, pureed as a sauce, boiled and even lightly cooked on its own or with other vegetables. When pureed and added to dough, it adds a unique flavour to chapatis. Spinach tends to be salty due to the minerals in it so people on a salt-free diet might have to avoid it or consume it in controlled quantities. The creator of the popular cartoon character, Popeye, must have know a thing or two about the benefits of spinach as Popeye ate a lot of spinach and got a boost of instant energy and muscles to fight his enemies.
Compared to red meat, spinach is a healthier source of iron as it packs much less harmful cholesterol making it ideal for menstruating women, growing children and adolescents. Spinach is also a heart-friendly vegetable due to its anti-oxidizing properties from the constituent Vitamin C and A. Spinach should be eaten fresh as soon as it is purchased or picked for the full benefits to be realized.
The Scariest Revelation of ObamaCare Yet
Dr. David Janda repeats what 100 members of Congress told him about ObamaCare:
Democrat Congressmen and Congresswomen now serving know these facts. They just don't want to tell you.
Don't--please don't--put them back into office!
Use your vote.

EDL supporting Wilders demonstration "Don't buy the lie.Part 1:"Our bus has no windows left" video
persbericht antifa!-a'dam over verloop EDL demo
Antifa!-Amsterdam - 30.10.2010 18:03
Persbericht: EDL demonstratie gênante afgang, anti-fascisten zeer tevreden over tegen-protest
Antifa!-Amsterdam is positief over het verloop van de demonstraties en acties vandaag in Amsterdam.
Op veel verschillende manieren werd vandaag kristal helder dat men niet zit te wachten op het soort fascistoïde straat-activisme zoals de extreem rechtse English Defence League hoopt te exporteren naar het vaste land van Europa.
De demonstratie van de EDL/DDL bleek een regelrechte afgang, hoogstens 50 demonstranten namen uiteindelijk de moeite om hun steun te betogen aan Wilders. Dit terwijl de organisatie, zelfs na de verplaatsing naar een tochtig bedrijven terrein, van de week nog zei tot 1000 aanhangers te verwachten.
Uit eindelijk moet de magere opkomst met name die van de kant van de Dutch Defence League, slecht enkele van de demonstranten waren nederlands, en het felle verzet waar mee ze geconfronteerd werden een teken aan de wand zijn over de toekomst perspectieven van hun oversteek van het kanaal.
Dit terwijl er tegelijkertijd een breed scala van honderden verschillende mensen en tientallen groepen verspreid over de stad hun afkeuring en woede over de komst van het racistisch tuig naar de hoofdstad.
Antifa!-Amsterdam spreekt haar steun en waardering uit aan iedereen die vandaag de straat op is gegaan tegen racisme en vreemdelingen haat.
Van de honderden demonstranten die betoogden bij de dokwerker, de tientallen activisten die zich verspreiden over de stad om te voorkomen dat de EDL zich zou roeren in het centrum tot de vele mensen die besloten de noodbevelen van de burgemeester naast zich neer te leggen en directe actie probeerden te voeren in het westelijk havengebied.
Ook de zeer grote verscheidenheid van mensen die vandaag in verzet zijn gekomen is een duidelijk signaal; van jonge migranten tot ervaren activisten, van voetballiefhebbers tot maatschappelijke organisaties.
Met name de aanwezigheid van joodse individuen en de hervormingsgezinde beweging in Iran voor wie de EDL pretendeert te spreken en grote opkomst van voetbalsupporters die de EDL als hun natuurlijke achterban beschouwt maken duidelijk dat mensen zich geen rad voor de ogen laten draaien over wat voor vlees ze in de kuip hebben.
Samengevat beschouwt Antifa!-Amsterdam de dag als overwegend zeer succesvol en roept iedereen op om in het verweer te blijven komen tegen discriminatie, haat, angst en extreem-rechts geweld.

Yemen Arrests Woman for Sending Explosives to Chicago Synagogues
 |
| Yemeni women in San'a; 25% of Yemeni girls become child brides. |
Now authorities are looking for a male "accomplice."
"Hiding" and "accomplice." Those are interesting choices of words to describe a Muslim woman who lives under Shariah servitude in a country where mere opposition to selling little girls into forced marriages brands one as an apostate, a crime punishable by death.
I wonder what Batina the Hidden (the burqa-wearing super-heroine soon to be featured in a Shariah-compliant cartoon series) will have to say about it. If she's allowed to speak.
A little something you might want to keep in mind when doing your Christmas shopping is that a series starring Batina the Hidden and 98 other Muslim super-heroes opposing such "dark forces" as a Christian king is scheduled to start soon on the kid's TV network, The Hub, formed by a 50-50 partnership between Hasbro Toys and Discovery Communications (Discovery Kids).

Zaanstreek kraakt door!
verenigde kraakgroepen zaanstreek
Vandaag hebben we weer een pand gekraakt.
Vandaag hebben we weer een pand gekraakt. Onder het mom van kraken gaat door vonden wij het een goed idee om de daad bij het woord te voegen.
Daarom hebben wij een pand aan de botenmakersstraat in het centrum van Zaandam bezet. Na een gedegen voorbereiding trokken wij met een flinke groep mensen, verfkwasten, een goed humeur en breekijzers naar het te kraken object. Zo gezegd zo gedaan, jullie weten allemaal hoe het werkt.
We roepen alle Zaankanters die ons een warm hart toedragen op om gezellig langs te komen. En we roepen alle niet-zaankanters op om panden te kraken in hun eigen omgeving.
De politie is langs gekomen en wist het allemaal niet zo goed meer, we hebben ze natuurlijk geen leegstand laten constateren. Wel konden ze constateren dat we de boel meteen aan het schilderen waren. Nadat de gevoelens van overbodigheid te groot werden bij de dienders dropen ze af.
Het is nu wachten op de reactie van gemeente(eigenaar) en het openbaar ministerie.
Tot die tijd gaan wij gewoon ons ding doen en de tent schoonmaken en voorbereiden op de opening van ons nieuwe sociaal centrum. We hebben nog geen naam voor ons nieuwe sociale centrum maar dat zullen we jullie zo snel mogelijk melden.
Deze actie stellen wij in het teken van de oplaaiende strijd tegen de tyfushonden in den haag die denken over onze levens te kunnen beschikken.
Fuck bruin 1, negeer het kraakverbod!
En namens een deel van ons, leve de anarchie.
En namens ieder van ons, leve de vrijheid.

Oldie but Goodie: Barney Frank(enstein) Mashes with the Monsters
I doubt that this crew is having quite as good a time this Halloween as last:
__________
This year, Barney's going to his Halloween party as a "damsel in distress." A recent quote from one of the chief architects of the subprime mortgage crisis that drove millions of Americans out of their jobs and homes: "The Tea Party Express thinks that it has me tied to the tracks."
Isn't it time for Barney to start reading the want ads?

Big Dan's Big News Oct 30, 2010, "U.S." Chamber of Commerce MY ASS!!!!!!!
What's the difference???
The "U.S. Chamber of Commerce is just like MoveOn.org , only they are a political action committee for REPUBLICANS! They take in BILLIONS from secret undisclosed donors, many from FOREIGN COUNTRIES, to sway elections towards Republicans. They will not disclose their secret donors, but run attack ads against Democrats with the money. They were geniuses to call themselves something that sounds like part of the government. That would be like MoveOn.org thinking of it first, and calling themselves "The U.S. Chamber of Commerce" instead of MoveOn.org!!! It's just that a Republican PAC thought of it first! WHAT IF "MOVEON.ORG" WAS CALLED "THE U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE"??? Calling themselves something that sounds like a government agency should be ILLEGAL! They're as much a part of the government agency as the FED is!!! That's ANOTHER one with a purposely misleading name! The FEDERAL RESERVE is PRIVATELY OWNED!
"U.S." Chamber of Commerce takes in money from China and meets with Chinese and American officials teaching them how to outsource American jobs to China:

USW president Leo Gerard on Chamber, outsourcing
275 Investors Demand U.S. Chamber Disclose Funds And Stop ‘Punitive Campaign’ Against Health Care Law
How The ‘US’ Chamber Uses Its Money To Pay Pundits, Manipulate Google, And Create Fake News Outlets
The US Chamber of Commerce has launched a full attack against America's civil justice system, and the attorneys and advocates who help consumers. And they are winning. Even with the unprecedented numbers of pharmaceutical and consumer product recalls, environmental disasters, and corporate misconduct in America, people still think that corporations are working to make their lives healthier and happier. Mike Papantonio talks with Linda Lipsen, the CEO of the American Association for Justice, about why we need to fight back against the Chamber and work to build a stronger civil justice system in America.
The Loaded Chamber Part I: Secret Money
"The chamber’s increasingly aggressive role — including record spending in the midterm elections that supports Republicans more than 90 percent of the time — has made it a target of critics, including a few local chamber affiliates who fear it has become too partisan and hard-nosed in its fund-raising."
So reports a headline story in the New York Times today about the Chamber of Commerce's increasingly secretive and partisan fundraising and lobbying efforts. The Chamber, once an institution that supported small and family businesses, increasingly does the bidding of a few large corporations, and in the first part of our GRITtv Digs investigation, Harry Hanbury starts to open up the Chamber's secrets for you.

Angle cut beams: angles cut in beams like the ones below in the Twin Towers on 9/11 didn't happen by "accident": more proof the official story is false! This is how you cut the main beams so the building "walks" or "slides" all around to the inside or its own footprint in controlled demolition. Do you think these beams "magically" broke at perfect controlled demolition style angles? Notice the drip marks of melting metal coming off them, too. Controlled demolition chemicals such as thermate are used to melt/cut angles like this and scientists have found thermate in the WTC dust, which can't occur naturally without someone bringing it there:

Notice how calm the "witness" is: he calmly says it was a 737. WAAAAY to calm, don't you thing? Compare his demeanor to other eyewitnesses screaming and sounding out of breath and in shock.

Modern medicine and Alternative medicine
Modern medicine treats illness using science and technology; it focuses narrowly how the doctor can solve the problem when the patient is ill. Alternative medicine, in a radically different approach, emphasis's the importance of staying healthy and requires individuals to take more responsibility for their own health. Traditional medical wisdom (for example, ayurveda in India) linked health to a state of harmony and disease to a state of imbalance, and focused on well-being and remaining well, and not on just 'fixing' the problem after one fell ill!

A Family Cookout
One great way to enjoy the lovely lawn and the patio or gazebo you incorporated in your interior decorating is having a family cook out. It will do wonders to the family bonding and is a wonderful way of enjoying the good weather and using the attractive garden furniture. A child’s birthday is a great opportunity for a family cookout where friends and family are invited for a superb day of eating, drinking and making merry. The menu for such an event is most important and must include all the age groups present. A barbeque does this perfectly as well as having a different meal like a casserole ready for the younger age group who might not be able to wait for the grilled stuff.
Planning a Cookout Menu
It is important to shop as a family and well in advance for such an occasion to ensure that all necessities are covered. Enough napkins and cutlery is essential for a smooth running event without having to dash to the store. Also depending on the number of guests and their preferred drink, stock up on a variety juices and soft drinks and have them chilled well before the guests arrive. Different snacks like crisps and dips will keep the guests busy before the grilled stuff is ready.
Wet weather can spring up on a sunny day unannounced so to be on the safe side, pitch tents over garden furniture, which will be practical in case the sun is scorching too. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, sausages, corn on the cob and a variety of fruits and vegetables are favourite or all age groups so be sure to include these in the menu. Desserts like ice cream and cake are always a welcome treat. Plan well and enjoy a day with family and friends in your garden.
