This pretty much sums it up for most topics. First learn the rules. Then forget the rules. Once you've got it down to a science then go with the flow as it happens. In other words, "Wing it."

I need this like I need another hole in my head. If I had this, I'd never get anything done, however, that's a nice idea for an impossible dream

Inside of a Dog

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:30:36 -0800

What is it like to be a dog?

In her new book, Alexandra Horowitz evokes the dog's perspective by interweaving the science of dog cognition and perception with personal reflections on her own dog's behavior. Ranging from what it might be like to be able to smell sadness in humans or the passage of time; how the smallest Chihuahua can play with the most formidable Great Dane; the experience of hearing the hum of fluorescent lights; to why some dogs relentlessly pursue bicycle or ball, Inside of a Dog gives us insights into how dogs view the world. This book gives anyone who lives with, deals with, or admires dogs a new understanding of their sensory abilities, a nuanced interpretation of their behavior, and an appreciation of their minds.

Excellentay!

Whoa.

"[T]hey found a female with a large gaping stomach wound and four babies swimming in the tank."

"It had to bite a certain part to let them out and do it without killing them [the babies] or her [the mother]."

From the page: "Chief Clyde Clinton presented Sebastien with a helmet and a certificate naming him Sanger's first reserve captain. Clinton said it was the first time the department has offered such VIP treatment to a terminally ill patient.

'What I see in this child is a mentor,' Clinton said later. 'He's not looking at death, he's looking at life.'"

Doncha just love it?

Lou Dobbs leaving CNN for 'new opportunities' - Yahoo! News

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:10:24 -0800

From the page: "'Our contention all along was that Lou Dobbs who has a long history of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants and Latinos does not belong on the most trusted name in news,' said Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org. 'We are thrilled that Dobbs no longer has the legitimate platform from which to incite fear and hate.'"

Don't tell me, Dobbs is being welcomed at Faux Paux News with open arms. He'll blend in well with the rest of the established liars, crooks, cheats and thieves.

Head 'em up. Move 'em on.

Advocates Question Adequacy of Veterans Mental Services - California Healthline

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:08:00 -0800

From the page: "Advocates Question Adequacy of Veterans Mental Services

Advocates are questioning whether the military is providing adequate levels of mental health care for soldiers returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Nationally, a backlog of disability claims by soldiers is approaching one million and waits of six months to receive care are not uncommon, according to veterans group Swords to Plowshares. At the Veterans Affairs facility in West Los Angeles, psychiatrists have caseloads of as many as 400 to 500 patients at one time, and those numbers are growing, according to Jonathan Sherin, associate chief of psychiatry and mental health.

* "Broken Veterans Who Need Care Find System in Stress" (Lopez, Los Angeles Times, 11/11).
* "Veterans Services Inadequate To Deal With Trauma of War" (Woodall, Oakland Tribune, 11/10)."

Today is a good day to think along these lines and then ask the Veteran's Administraion why aren't our Veterans given the help they need?
