Just another bump in the road....  as if we didn't have enough to worry about with Hackers encouraged by their obvious success rate.... just sayin'

Stay Safe.  

Tuesday Tails: Nat Geo, Wolfie update, and Knitting SFgloves.

If you don't have this bookmarked or aren't getting their feed, you are missing an incredible resource page.  This is one of the best I've ever seen as a classroom aide, for instance.  National Geographic is pretty terrific.

HERE is their page on Bird Migration in the Americas.....

Enjoy your time there, and be sure to listen to the bird song when it's offered.
This is an ACE page, this one.

There was going to be a link, here, to "One Strange Rock"


It's a new program on National Geographic's Channel, I presume, about mother earth and it's molten core.

We are close, geologically, to getting some pole flipping.  I wonder if the birds will be confused?

The Wolf:  Wolfie would like his fans to know that he is doing well, but that he's showing his age at times but still feels like he's just a puppy!

Here's a recent photo of my little snuggle bug.

Those big brown eyes say it ALL.. 

 He and some other doggies are having a grand old time on Instagram.  I wish he would talk more but things get lost in translation.  But those big brown eyes say it ALL.... they say, "Where's my treat!"

And, I've been busy knitting some short fingered gloves for Dominican Hospital.  The orange are for women, sized small, and the brown ones are a pattern from both Ravelry (and Pinterest) for a man's sized glove that I'm also going to be knitting

The brown gloves, to the right, are being knit with
 the green and white yarn

These with the indicated
green flecked white yarn in the snap  

X marks the yarn for these.  They are Small women's and
All knit, and with the ends woven in. 
They are DONE!

Hope you have a lovely week.  I may show up on Thursday with something.  However, any T13's lists are getting thin on the ground here...
Sorry gang!  I love you and still will read but may not participate this week.  We'll see!

An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton... Ann Arbor Quakers' Meeting....

I consider this a Humanitarian Post:  That's not Political, or shouldn't be.

Quaker Meeting Peace for Palestine, no more no less. It's time to REALLY Save the Children!

I'm carrying on a long family tradition.  I want this heartache to end where it was started.

If you would like to sign Dr. Helen Fox's petition, please feel free to use the link to her website.

We need to change the way things are done in this wicked world.  Children ALWAYS pay too big a price for Adult failures.  It's time this ended.

Ann Arbor Friends Meeting Peace for Palestine website.

Thankful Thursday: This HUGE victory deserves to be shared.

Sea World has agreed to end captive breeding.  They are phasing out their shows and will work with HSUS, and Humane Societies worldwide to end whaling
READ all about it.  And be happy for the Earth, and the other Earthlings. 

Thankful Thursday: McFarland USA

Just watching this movie made me thankful for good people in our country who know how to make things  better for us all.  I only have a few minutes to post this but please, watch this film.  You will feel a whole lot better about the world.  It is true story.

See you tomorrow!  

Thankful Thursday: Protecting California's Deserts With New National Monuments

I was involved in the original successful attempt in the 60's to bring the San Gorgonio Wilderness into being.  Now we have a chance to set aside, in the new Sand to Snow National Monument, lands that will ensure the future of big horn sheep and other species in a corridor of their own.   I am THRILLED!  Color me Grateful and Thankful, for all the effort that went into this!  The link goes to a place where you can add your voice.  Two other new Monuments will protect other species, not the least of which are California Desert Tortoises and the Chuckwallas.

Protect California's Deserts With New National Monuments

I hope that you will understand how monumentally important these tracts of what used to call "Waste Lands" are to the unique animal which reside within the new borders.

To President Obama, this is a solution that cannot come soon enough to our state. For the  Churchy, Poco, Lucky and Babies thank you!

Tuesday Tails on Friday......PDA but this gives you a chance to do something about it!

I'm posting this right away because this is an action alert because time is of the essence!  

This is PDA-Pretty Damn Awful

Here's a place  to raise hell about it.  The link goes to the Center for Biological Diversity action alert pages.

Something different for Friday... Lots of information about the Greater Sage Grouse, with a coloring book and other things for kids in the last link.

Corrected:  And, I apologize for mistakes made in spelling, syntax and grammar.  I was doing this very late.  Why the quote is still so full of bugs, I have no idea.

You can watch a video from Cornell Lab of Ornithology about the Lekking ground dances of the Great Sage Grouse.  Is that cool or what?

See it HERE

This will be a sort of Friday tails post.  The Greater Sage Grouse, along with other lesser Grouse, used to be innumerably strong, strung out in huge areas along the sage plains.  Now they are being considered for listing as "Endangered".  That's pretty freaking sad, you know?

From Yellowstonegate.com
The page is very slow to load

 This is an excerpt from THIS government document.  If the future of this amazing bird is of interest to you, I urge you to read the whole document:

"2.2. Historic Status and Distribution
Sage-grouse originally occurred in 16 states
and three provinces (Aldrich 1963, Johnsgard
1973), and their distribution closely approximated
that of sagebrush. Forests, deserts, rivers and
mountain ranges fragmented the birds’ original
distribution naturally (Braun 1998). However,
sage-grouse evolved to use large expanses of shrub
steppe habitat (Connelly et al. 2000c). Early
estimates of sage-grouse abundance were largely
anecdotal, but suggested this species was abundant
in many parts of its range (Braun 1998).

Western settlers reported seeing the skies darkened by large
flocks of sage-grouse. Pioneers described filling
wagons with sage-grouse to provide food for their
communities as well as for miners and other working
groups (Rogers 1964). Both Colonel John
Fremont (1845) and Elliot Coues (1874) reported
that sage-grouse were abundant throughout much of
Wyoming in the early to mid-1800s. Prior to 1870
in Montana and 1900 in Idaho, little or no protection
was afforded these birds (Autenrieth 1981,
Wallestad 1975).

In Colorado, Rogers (1964) indicated that
thousands of sage-grouse were killed
each year to feed participants in the annual “Sagehen
Days” in the town of Craig.

Concerns over population declines date from
the early 1900s (Girard 1937, Hornaday 1916) until
Rusch (1942) reported that, because of the bird’s
scarcity, there were not many localities where they
could be legally killed by the late 1930s and early
1940s. In his book on wildlife conservation, Wing
(1951) listed sage-grouse as a rare and threatened
species in North America, perhaps foreshadowing
current efforts to list sage-grouse as threatened or
endangered under the Endangered Species Act." 

And this next page is beautifully done, and was created by the Sage Grouse Initiative, a group that is dedicated to wildlife conservation through sustainable ranching practices.  There is a special section at thatis called: "Just for Kids"; it includes a printable coloring book as well as a sort of "Where's Waldo" Poster for identifying all the animals found on the Sage Brush Steppes where they all live.

Hope you enjoy it!

Tuesday Tails: Gray Wolves in remote areas of Northern Cal.

Good News for re-balancing nature:

I put this together from another source, since the comments, as always, were trolled at the original site.  I find it hard to believe that the Big Money Boys can't leave any stone unturned in their fight to tweak news events, attempting to make them go their way.

What ever became of Nobility of Spirit?

Center for Biological Diversity

No. 789, Aug. 27, 2015

From an article originally published in the L.A. Times

After Almost 100 Years, a Gray Wolf Pack Lives in California

Shasta Pack in California.

"Exciting, inspiring news from Northern California: For the first time in almost a century, a family of gray wolves is living wild in the state. In remote Siskiyou County, a trail camera has captured a series of photographs of both the adult wolves and the black pups.

The two adult, black-furred wolves and five 4-month-old pups have been named the Shasta pack, after the area's spectacular volcano.

Thanks to foresight and pressure from the Center for Biological Diversity and our allies that resulted in state action in 2014, these wolves have the benefit of legal protection under California's Endangered Species Act. According to state biologists, one or more of the animals will soon be radio-collared for monitoring; in the meantime, their black color should make it virtually impossible for any hunters to claim to mistake them for coyotes -- and very difficult for any actual mistaken ID to occur."

Music Monday- "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" And Alive Inside" Documentary

This lovely song has been a little Ear worm for several days, so I'm infecting all of you with it! ;-) "Tis a lovely thing on the whole.

Happy Martin Luther King Day, and I think this Man of Peace should always be remembered for his dedication to Peace, Equality, and Universal Love.

The original.. co-songwriter/singer Jackie DeShannon

Jackie wrote this, with her brother, in the late 60's.

One simple act, putting a little love in your heart, that could change the balance in a murderous world.  We can't be reminded often enough that we are, all of us, one big family.

About "Alive Inside"

This film is a thing of Beauty, straight from the Heart, and is a very powerful testament to the power of our brain to preserve personality, even when it's only avenue is the part of the brain that keeps musical memories alive, and which has been denied expression in some cases for ten years.  Musical memory is like a "backdoor" into a person's personality, and it has shown amazing promise for enriching lives, if activated.

It was originally released in October of 2010, and eventually went viral in January 2011.  It is a documentary about just how powerfully humans react to music, why that is, the universality of this, and how it has transformed people who have been institutionalized with Alzheimer's and other dementia for years.

You can find "Alive Inside" on Netflix and probably other places as well.  Another plus about music therapy is that in listening to Music, dementia patients come alive and responsive, and that certainly is an improvement to them being constantly medicated!  Also, they can stay home longer with their own families.

Please feel free to take the links and re-post them in order to spread the circle as widely as possible.
I'm doing it as a way to honor my sister's bravery in facing her disease.

Saturday9 It's late! It's a Yakfest I tell ya! PLus Saturday Komeekz and Saturday Matinee

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Lucky Star (1983)

Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.


1. Have you ever wished upon a star?
Yes, and with all my heart I wished for my brother to not have to go to Viet Nam.  I think the prayers and fasting is what did it - though the star, Arcturus, couldn't have hurt the odds.

2. In the 1980s, Madonna considered her wrist bangles one of her fashion trademarks. What's one of your fashion trademarks?
I once wore a lot of funky earrings and great rings.  But not for long.  It was serious that war in Viet Nam, I had to pay attention to it lots sooner than I wanted to.  I blame Howard Hunt.

3. Though she got good grades, Madonna could be disruptive at school, known for turning cartwheels in the halls between classes. Can you do a cartwheel?
I used to be able to do that, and do back flips.  That stuff is FUN!

4. Her high grade point average earned her a dance scholarship to the University of Michigan, home of the Wolverines. Do you follow college football?
Not any more.  We used to be big fans of the Aztecs and even went and sat out the games at the old stadium.  DH was going to college there at the time.

5. Madonna co-starred in the movie version of Dick Tracy. Do you enjoy comics?
Oh Lord,  do I EVER enjoy comics.  Saturday Komeekz is something I love to plan for.

6. She played Argentinian First Lady Eva Peron in the biopic, Evita and directed a movie about Wallis Simpson. What famous 20th century woman do you wish you could meet/could have met?
Just one?  I would have wanted to meet Sylvia Plath, Shirley Chisholm, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Meade, or Rachel Carson and Pat Nixon.  I think Pat Nixon was an amazing woman.

7. Madonna authored a children's book called The English Roses. Tell us about a book that had a big impact on you when you were a kid.
Oh,  I reckon I've answered this, variously, before.   But, I did find my first book (yes, a Dick and Jane) in mother's hope chest a few years back. It was read to bits.  My grandmother gave it to me the year we spent Christmas at the farm.  I was probably 3 and a half.  All I remember about the trip back to Ohio that year was that I threw up the greasiest scrambled eggs that could be imagined all over my pretty little dress.

8. One of Madonna's "vocal idols" is Ella Fitzgerald. Who is your all-time favorite female singer? 
Like question 6, there is not just one all time favorite for me.  Ella is certainly one of my idols.  Aretha Franklin and Beverly Sills are two others that come to mind.

9. Madonna once did a Pepsi commercial. What beverages are in your refrigerator right now?
There are a few beers, both alcoholic and non, four different kinds of fruit juice, some red wine, and a bottle of water.  I think there might be some of my favorite root beer and maybe a Jamaican ginger beer.  It comes in a green bottle and it's very good.

Saturday Komeekz

Saturday Matinee, Two Dog Shows that have nothing to do with the AKC.

"Animal House"... a TV show about a the largest and oldest No Kill Shelter in the United States...Great Stories about saving Rescues!

"Dogs with Jobs"..  Another show that will put some smiles on your faces.

These are a Wonderful Christmas sort of entertainment because they are such good uplifting ones.

Standing with the Pacific Island Peoples... And, Sunday Stealing about BOOKS!

Here is the link to the Island Warriors Petition which they would like Every Human on Earth to read and, hopefully, sign.

Pacific Island peoples are now traveling to Australia and other places to bring awareness to the plight of ALL Island dwellers.  Actually, we are all Island Dwellers when it comes down to it.  Some of us
just live on great big Islands but these islands have low shorelines.

If you would like to join in this very fun MeMe, you can find an active button for Sunday Stealing in the sidebar under Six Weekly MeMe's.  Try it.  You know you want to!  Thank you to all the peeps who have kept this rolling along.  Great Meme!

October 25, 2014

Disclaimer.. I do not like my new med.  It has made me certifiable.

Nerd Alert!

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from. We also provide a link to the victim's meme in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from this new meme or recently asked questions from a previously featured meme.  
Let's go!!!

From F Yeah, Surveys

  Nerd Alert Meme 

1. Favorite childhood book? 
The first "books" I actually recall reading were comic books in Ohio with my young Aunties (11 years old to my 4).  They and their friends collected comic books and traded them.  My grandmother didn't want me to read some of them, like the one about Teens. Happily, the aunts and their friends allowed me to read them all anyway, as long as I didn't ask them any questions, like, "What does Archie mean?"   Of course, I still like comics to this day!

Back home after my second brother's birth, I read Mysterious Island by Jules Verne. That same summer I read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Robert Louis Stevenson.  It was called, "Keeping out of mother's hair".

So those are still my favorite books.  I've wanted to live on an Island ever since or maybe to be a Mermaid!  I was totally CRAZED, and utterly MAD about the Ocean, and I wasn't yet 6 years old.  So, a lifelong passion to be "by the seaside by the beautiful sea" was born in my heart.  There is just nothing like the ocean for beauty with a capital B!

2. What are you reading right now?  
I'm reading three e books, The Way Forward by Ruth Hartzler, The Subjection of Women by John Stuart Mill, and The Survival of Thomas Ford by John A. A. Logan.  I'm also reading a hands on physical book, Nobodies by John Bowe.  Nobodies makes you think about every single thing you buy, as in how it was produced and by whom.

3. What books do you have on request at the library?
Two by Gail Tsukiyama.

4. Bad book habit?

I soooo want all these books! 

Just how can a book habit be bad?  Well, I can see that if you were to bankrupt your family and lose the house by buying too many books, it would be a bad habit.  But then, that would be bad for the books. Who, of those who love books, would chance that?

5. What do you currently have checked out at the library?
Nothing.  I have to read a few books I actually own first.  Actually I'm waiting impatiently for the two that are on order to show up.   Where can they be???

6. Do you have an e-reader? 
I was recently given a mini-tab as a sidebar item.  I thought, "What am I going to do with this thing?"  But, alas, it's now put roots into the fingers of both hands.  My brain has been taken over by an external device!  However, I am obviously not alone!

7. Do you prefer to read one book at a time, or several at once? 
Obviously I read several books at a time, and prefer it.  Reading very heavy non-fiction has its' costs so it's best to read "salads" and perhaps "fruits" while ingesting heavy and meaty things.

8. Have your reading habits changed since starting a blog?

Not a whit!  I have, however, gotten hints from what others have reported reading.  That's been truly cool!

9. Least favourite book you read this year (so far)? 
That was an ebook that I didn't finish.  Gah! I cannot tell you how many of those I've quit after a few, horrible pages thinking the writing would get better.  Who are these people?  I'm sorry if that sounds snobbish but I'm new at this.  And, I don't have time to waste, really.

10. Favorite book you’ve read this year?
Three Wild Swans

11. How often do you read out of your comfort zone? 
Having a huge tolerance for many subjects, I never read outside my comfort zone; it is, after all, my time, and I try to use it wisely.

12. What is your reading comfort zone? 
Children, avert your eyes.  I won't read anything that sells itself with s_x.  And, I  no longer will read brutal murder mysteries no matter how famous the writer nor how well he/she writes.

13. Can you read on the bus? 
No.  I want to be alert to surroundings.  I would, however, read on a train to another city, perhaps.  I'm likely to spend the time looking out the windows, or in knitting, on either conveyance.

14. Favorite place to read? 
I have three favorite places.  The "Big Comfy Chair", the once New, Tall Bed Top, and in the shade outside in my folding rocker.

15. What is your policy on book lending?  
I'm a Family and Friends lender.

16. Do you ever dog-ear books? 
I would rather be poked with a sharp stick than to dog-ear a book.  Even if I hated the book I would not mistreat it.

17. Do you ever write in the margins of your books?
Marginalia?  No way.  I LIKE books.  It's a felony anyway; the Amazing Book Police will get you!  I'm going to send them!

What the Frack?

18. Not even with text books? 
No.  And I hate to have to have a text book that has been dog-eared, highlighted, or written in. Perhaps I don't share the opinions but there they all are, underlined and highlighted and begging for attention.  Perhaps I don't even think like the person(s) that destroyed the book.  They took away the writer's intentions and/or impartiality.  I certainly don't want to be burdened with the possibly felonious, invisible influences of the chicken that scratched up a helpless book.

19. A book you didn’t expect to like but did? 
I didn't expect to like Hunt for Red October but I did.  Otherwise, I don't read anything I'm not sure of anymore.  I don't have to.  Life is too short to read something written by someone I don't highly respect.  I have to ask myself, "What's the point"?

20. What makes you love a book? 
Language, and the author's ability to use such in both interesting and perhaps unusual ways.  For instance, I like the writings of people who are high functioning autistics.  I love descriptive prose, and characters that evoke sympathy or sometimes even intense emotions.  I'm not insane enough - any more - to go looking for trouble in the world of fiction.  The non fiction I read is usually about something terribly odious, like the modern slave trade or Wall Street miscreants, so I give myself a breather with fiction.  

Oh, I probably will never read anything by Howard Hunt, or L. Ron Hubbard.  Big Businessmen, those two.

Goodness, today is our 51st Anniversary.  I hope Mr.Z bought me a book.
The Kama Sutra?  Just kidding!   I better get out of this little room!  I've gone mad, I tell you, thinking of books I'll never get to read!  But, not that one!

California: Vote No on Prop 1

This is a link to Center for Biological Diversity and is meant for California voters only.

At issue is how the proposed purchase of out of system water will be used, and for what purpose.  Proposition 1 on our ballot is not the sort of thing anyone wants to see on any State's ballot.  So anyone else in another state should watch anything to do with their own water issues.  Like other things, these sorts of ballot measures can have a, forgive the pun, a ripple effect.  We all know what that lead to in the last decade.  This is America.  I think we've done enough bending over.

Our state's water is used to a great degree by agriculture, and this is fine, but there are other issues here, the fact that once water goes to streams and rivers it is classified as "abandoned" and can be recaptured by agri-business, a nightmare conglomeration that has given rise to many problems in food production, and that is busily grabbing up small farms as well as water mandated for the survival of native habitat.  

California: Vote No on Prop 1

Tuesday tails: Wolfie goes to the Vet; Horsezzz Buzzzz; The Breeding Back Blog; Nez Perce tribal lands

Wolfie, that stalwart stubby legged wee doggie whom I thought, upon seeing him, was part Scottie dog, has got the all clear on his left eye.  It is now producing more tears than the healthy one so we might have to keep an eye on the other one, too.   His left eye is normal, looking less like a street scuffed black marble.  

He's listening for Papa, whom he can hear.

The Littlest family member, though he does actually outweigh the kitties, will need his eye meds for the rest of his life.  He's now all well, just part Shih Tsu, and getting up there in years.  This snap was taken in Santa Cruz in 2012.

Cattle: If you are interested in many many things that have to do with all animals, this is one aspect that I never thought was going on except in a very few places with very few animals- like with cattle in Africa.

Horses: First a link that Elle sent us a while back.  It's about a breed of indigenous Iberian Horses.
http://phys.org/news/2014-03-ancient-beasts-roam-spain-wilderness.html

More about Horses:  In the United States, we all know that the Nez Perce tribe kept their own developed breed lines alive, in the Appaloosa, and were "given" back, some years ago, about 10,000 acres of their own lands by the BLM  in partial answer to the long time tribal stand against treaty violations by the U.S. Government.

Even More Ancient Breeds get help:  And this is site is The Breeding Back Blog , which keeps track of what's going on in the whole of Europe, and maybe the world.

Let's take care of Mother Earth, it's the Only Planet we have.  

Tuesday Tails, the Cartoon as Art Exhibit in Escondido through out most of July.

Art Imitates life:

Eno needs a bath. hehehe

Having recently mentioned in Sunday Stealing that an unwashed Human Being was one of my most loathed smells - unwashed dog was the other -  I was happily surprised to see the above cartoon in the Sunday Funnies!  Even dogs, at least Enos,  can't stand the smell of an unwashed human being either!  hehe

Cartoons as Art:

There is a show at The California Center For the Arts, in Escondido.  I'll try to get up there this week.  Lots and Lots to do this week so we'll see.  But, I really believe that Cartoons are an art form, a very enjoyable one, so I want to see this show.

Exhibit is through July 28th, admission: $8 for the regular herd, and $5 for slower herd - seniors, most well behaved herd - military and equally well behaved student hoards herd.  10am to 4pm Thursday through Saturday, and 1 to 4 pm on Sunday.  Try this Link to artcenter.org for more info.

Hearts for June

If you haven't heard, there is a very sick little girl who loves heart shaped things.  Her name is June and her story is HERE

Her parents want to be able to surround their three and a half year old daughter with hearts, 20,000 of them by June 1st.

4x4 sized hearts, decorated in whatever way you would for a precious little child, and send them to this address:

  June Rudd, P.O. Box 992, Anoka, MN 55303.

 Pass it on.  Let's get her those hearts.

Good night!  Sweet Dreams!  Take care!

Thank you to Pina... ♥♥♥♥♥  I love you Pina!

Tuesday Tails.. If you live in California, you can help the Bobcat, plus link to free endangered species ring tones.

Progress Bars

My progress bars needed an update because of the clash of color.  I found the site again, but it's almost off the end of the first page.   So I decided to plug it here...

I love the ease of using Yarn Tomato for making progress bars.
