Dogs of Summer 3: Tony Bennett & Happy, the Maltese

Singer Tony Bennett owns a Maltese dog; and because of the sweet dog's  personality, was given the name of "Happy".
He was carried on stage by Mr Bennett as he took his final bow at the Ravinia concert. Hubby was in the restroom of the time -- trying to beat the sold-out crowd and all -- so my official Photographer with his much-nicer camera was nowhere to be found.  Sorry for my poor-quality pictures of the big screen tv, but Happy deserves a post of his own.

Homeschool: How American Students Measure-up via Charts

We are excited to have begun our 24th year of Home School!  Youngest high-schooler's focus has changed from Veterinary care to Criminal Justice.

Thankful for these:  
We've bought only a few materials online this year. We also make good use of books & supplies from previous years. Recently, we were given school material by our generous friends from CANADA. They are transitioning from having all 6 kids to no more kids in homeschool after this semester. I'll take anything that is free.

Margarine versus Butter

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings....

Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .

And now, for Margarine..

Very High in Trans fatty acids.

Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...

Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..

Lowers quality of breast milk

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT.

These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

Open a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:

* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)

* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.

Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

This Diamond Ring

It's finally mine! Years ago (7+ years), I caught sight of this gorgeous Ring at the Macys website. I then went to my local Macy's Jewelry counter and put it on. Gasp. What a beauty. It was hard to resist the friendly Filipino saleswoman's prompting to buy... Now... While on sale...

I manage to resist. Out of sight, out of mind, but I saved pictures and the link. Fast forward to earlier this Summer. Macy's and Sam's prices were still too high.  eBay had two 2 rings on auction. One had a Best Offer option. Incredibly, Seller accepted my best-offer. Hooooorah!!!

Seller must have eventually realized that she had let this expensive ring go at a bargain price. After the deal was sealed and the ring delivered --and for only the second time in my long history on eBay-- she offered to take it back if I were to change my mind.

Sorry, but I'm not sorry, dear eBay Seller.  Let's stick to our binding contract.  You've got my hard-earned cash. I've got my longed-for pretty Ring.  It's a done deal. Let's each move on!

What's next on my jewelry bucket list?  Squirrel by Effy! It is available at Macy's, but at full price. May eventually show up discounted on eBay, Lord willing. Good things come to those who wait, right?

List: Charities that Trump-Supporters May No Longer Want to Support

The painful truth is not what they wanted to hear:
President Trump said that there were two sides involved and at fault in the riots at Charlottsville, and Liberals were not happy. Below is a list of who the Libs are applauding for succumbing to political correctness and their [intimidation] thru phone calls. (Maybe some of these on the list had already made up their minds long ago??). I am very surprised to see the Salvation Army mentioned.

via wikipedia

My response is disgust for their lack of back-bone. Are they not careful of offending Trump-supporting Conservatives (people who are known for being more generous )??

I want a RAISE

The Cotton-Perdue RAISE Act is a refreshing effort to help American workers by Robert Law

"Senators introduce bill that helps American workers." No, this isn’t a title from an article in "The Onion" but instead the most succinct statement to describe the work being done by Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and David Perdue (R-Ga.). With great fanfare, President Trump and the two senators released a revised version of the “Reforming American Immigration for Strong Economy” (RAISE) Act, a commonsense bill that actually recognizes the American people as the primary stakeholders in our immigration system.

Since 1965, U.S. immigration policy has prioritized nepotism—extended family relationships—over skills. As a result of our chain migration policies, the U.S. hands out over 1.1 million new green cards a year with approximately two-thirds going to immigrants who happen to have a family member in the country, regardless of that immigrant’s ability to assimilate and contribute to the economy. For some perspective, that is the equivalent of adding the entire population of Montana every year. Just one out of every 15 new immigrants are awarded green cards because of their skills.

The results are unsurprising. Decades of flooding the labor force with low-skilled workers has caused blue collar wages to flat-line or decrease. In many cases, most notably construction, new low-skilled immigrants have replaced blue collar Americans, especially native born minority males. A few years ago, the nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies found that an astounding 51 percent of immigrant-headed households (legal and illegal) rely on at least one federal taxpayer-funded welfare program, compared to 30 percent of native households.

For more than 50 years, our immigration system has worked without much logic. Cotton and Perdue's would now make it points-based. The RAISE Act scraps our current employment-based green card framework and replaces it with a skills-based points system. Nations like Australia and Canada already do this; it’s about time the U.S. followed suit. This merit-based system would award points based on education, English proficiency, job skills, age (meaning prime working age), and entrepreneurial investment—factors that prioritize those best able to succeed and contribute to the American economy.

If we can better select immigrants who are going to succeed in the U.S., we’ve not only helped them better themselves but have also bettered our nation as well.

The RAISE Act would also unshackle the chain migration approach that has operated as codified nepotism. A key component of this bill is limiting family-based green cards to the nuclear family, meaning spouses and minor children. If the siblings or adult children of a citizen want to come to the U.S., they are now going to have to earn their way in. Sensibly, the bill does allow U.S. citizens to bring in their non-citizen elderly parents for caretaking purposes, but they cannot access taxpayer funded services.

The bill has two other important provisions to restore integrity to our immigration system. First, it ends the visa lottery where the U.S. randomly hands out 55,000 green cards a year by arbitrarily pulling names out of a hat. Additionally, it sets an annual cap on refugee admissions at 50,000, consistent with a 13-year average. Combined, the RAISE Act is expected to reduce overall legal immigration to around 550,000 per year within a decade—a 50 percent reduction compared to current levels.

While Cotton and Perdue should be applauded for their work, the core of the RAISE Act is not a new idea. In fact, more than twenty years ago, President Clinton created a bipartisan commission to review every aspect of U.S. immigration policy. Led by late civil rights leader and Texas Rep. Barbara Jordan, the commission in 1996 recommended an end to chain migration, prioritizing immigrant admissions based on skills, and limiting overall immigration to 550,000 per year. Sound familiar? Clinton and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle fully endorsed the Jordan Commission’s recommendations.

Naturally, because this is Washington, those recommendations were never implemented. Now, after more than 20 years of maintaining the status quo, Sens. Cotton and Perdue want to finally raise the standards of U.S. green card policy. President Trump is on board and the American people widely support it, so will Congress finally rise to the occasion and pass legislation that serves the national interest?

Dogs of Summer 2: Solar Eclipse 2017

Our best-Dog-ever is ready for the Solar Eclipse of 2017!  There has not been a full Solar Eclipse covering the USA from coast to coast since 1918. Wow.

Our home's location will not allow us a spectacular/full magnitude view of the total solar eclipse, but a couple of family members will have much better views: 

A. Daughter/SIL will be in Missouri with friends -- one who happens to be a great Science teacher; and,

B. My youngest Sis lives in Bend, Oregon (just 43 miles from Madras, Oregon -- a town on the list for the  TOP 10 PLACES TO VIEW THE ECLIPSE. Sis and family are bracing themselves for the vast crowds, eeek. 

May everyone enjoy, and all eyes be safe from damage!

Hubby's entire company will be allowed to observe the rare phenomenon. Each employee has been issued protective eclipse glasses (modeled by our dog, Bubbles above).  At approximately 1 pm CT on Monday, August 21, 2017, they will be let loose to go outdoors if they so desire.  Who would not want to take advantage of this?!!  Afterall, the USA will not see another Solar Eclipse till October 14, 2023.

Happy Birthday, Bill Clinton or Never Trust A Politician's Friends

Do you know the older man in these pictures? Well, he is Edward 'Ed' Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937. Now you're saying, "Who in the world is Ed Mezvinsky?” Okay, he's a former Democratic congressman who represented Iowa’s 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives for two terms, 1973 to 1977. He also sat on the House Judiciary Committee which decided the fate of Richard Nixon. He was outspoken claiming that Nixon was a crook and a disgrace to politics and the nation and should be impeached. He and the Clintons were friends and very politically intertwined for many years. Anyway, Ed Mezvinsky had an affair with NBC News reporter, Marjorie Sue Margolies, and later married her after his wife divorced him. Well, guess what? In 1993, this same Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, (then a freshman Democrat in Congress) cast the deciding vote that got President Bill Clinton’s controversial tax package through the House of Representatives. Now fast forward to March 2001:  Ed Mezvinsky was indicted and later pled guilty to 31 out of 69 counts of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. He embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a Ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams. He was found guilty and sentenced to 80 months in federal prison. After serving less than five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008 and remains on probation. To this day, he still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims. I know ... now yo’re saying, 'So what!' WELL ... Meet Marc and Chelsea Mezvinsky. That’s right; good old Ed is Chelsea Clinton’s father-in-law. Marc and Chelsea are in their early thirties and purchased a $10.5 million dollar NYC apartment (after being married in George Soros’ mansion). Has anyone heard any of this mentioned in the media? By the way, can you imagine if this guy was Jenna or Barbara Bush’s father-in-law, or, better yet, Bristol Palin’s father-in- law? The news would be an everyday headline and every detail would be reported over and over. But hey, there are no double standards in political reporting! Right?!?!?!? Chelsea Clinton earned $600,000 a year when working for NBC and now works for the Clinton Foundation and sits on many boards. The unending cycle remains. Lying and corruption are now known as positive attributes in the political world."

Abraham Lincoln said: "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”   link ... The Original Wake Up America

****************************************************

The above was posted months before the Year 2016 US Presidential Election. The Clintons and close relations can not seem to shake the propensity to make unwise/illegal life choices (like attracts like?!!). 

 HOWEVER, I do take heart that Mrs Clinton was NOT elected President. To me that was a severe reproof for her many years of personal and political crookedness.

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Bill Clinton!!

"Thank you, Canada, thank you Steve Maman," Emad Mishko Tamo said, referring to the president of the group The Liberation of Christian and Yazidi Children of Iraq, which orchestrated a campaign to expedite his reunion with his mother.

"I'm happy, I'm very thankful for anyone that had any part in me reuniting with my mom," Emad added through a translator.

"I am very happy and very thankful to God that he got here safely and soundly," his mother said, also speaking through a translator...

Liberals are not Funny

Shut up! You’re gonna get us all killed!

Liberals are having serious palpitations with President Trump's rhetoric while dealing with North Korea. Their comedians respond with fear-inducing, nervous words which they mask in comedic timing; beginning with The Late Show's Stephen Colbert above (words in yellow, as in cowardly).

My advice to these Liberal late-nighters: 

Get.A.Grip. You inspire weakness. Go home. Run to mommy. Move to Canada, if you insist. Seriously. 

And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.  Deuteronomy 20:8

List of More Attacks to Come a-la Virginia

Paycheck with Purpose
I find the list believable.  It may even be incomplete.  I acknowledge that only God knows the future.  Only He can change lives thru Christ and answer prayers to thwart the plans of Evildoers.
A violence-prone man (or woman) likes what he does; he is in bondage to his wicked heart or to money or to both.  He will do his best to convince like-minded people to join in the "fun" (and get paid for it). Is it his way to rationalize the guilt for his actions by getting lost in a crowd of hoodlums? Everybody does it, right? Uhmmmm ... nope!

THE RABID LIBERAL LEFT LIKE ANTIFA AND BLM IN AMERICA 

ARE VERY, VERY VIOLENT, AND HAVE BEEN MAKING DEATH

THREATS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR 

QUItE SOMETIME NOW.

As we reported to you over the weekend, the radical Left terror groups Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA are funded by George Soros ... In Virginia, they turned a white nationalist rally into a bloodbath by inciting violence and being the first to strike. 3 people died because of their actions, and now they want to take their show on the road.

HERE IS A LIST-IN-PROGRESS OF PLACES WHERE YOU CAN EXPECT ANTIFA AND 

BLACK LIVES MATTER TO SLITHER UP TO NEXT:

KENTUCKY: Lexington, Ky., Mayor Jim Gray doesn’t have to watch footage of the violent protests in Charlottesville over the weekend to know how divisive Confederate monuments can be. At family reunions and holiday dinners his whole life, he has heard about his great-uncles fighting each other in the Civil War’s Battle of Shiloh. Two were on the Union’s side. One fought for the Confederacy. Now, the 63-year-old mayor, who is white, is bracing for more controversy — and potentially worse, given the unrest in Charlottesville — after he announced plans on Saturday to move two Confederate monuments from prominent places near a Lexington courthouse.  source

SEATTLE: Police and protesters clashed during a right-wing rally and counter-demonstration in Seattle on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of serious injuries. The dueling events came one day after a woman was killed   and 19 other people were injured in a white nationalist protest and counter-protest in Virginia. Seattle police said in a statement that three men were arrested on suspicion of obstruction and assault. Confiscated weapons included ax handles, 2-by-4s and balloons containing an “unknown liquid substance,” the statement said. source

Liberal Hate Group and Opposing the pro-Trump Patriot Prayer Group

BALTIMORE: Baltimore City Councilman Brandon Scott is formally calling for all four of Baltimore’s Confederate-era monuments to be torn down. In a resolution being introduced Monday, Scott calls for “the immediate destruction of all Confederate Monuments in Baltimore.” In the resolution, he cites the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville over the weekend that left three dead. source

VIRGINIA: A Confederate heritage organization has asked the state for permission to gather Sept. 16 at Richmond’s Robert E. Lee monument. The rally would come roughly a month after Saturday’s white nationalist protest descended into violence in Charlottesville. The Department of General Services has received a request from Americans for Richmond Monument Preservation for a permit to hold an event at the Lee Monument on Monument Avenue, according to Dena Potter, an agency spokeswoman, who said the application is under review and has not been approved.  source

Healthy Monday: Moringa Leaves

SUPER FOOD: I've been eating Moringa leaves since my birth/youth in Asia. Like many other things that were very beneficial to me, I took it for granted.

Looking back, I am grateful that my parents chose to raise us in a "backwards" far-away province.  A great number of the population in our little town did not have a television, telephone, car, refrigerator, running water, indoor toilet, and many other conveniences --- but we survived! And not only survived -- we thrived! We knew how to be sociable. We spent a lot of time running around outdoors. The air and the food were fresh (as in freshly-picked-from-the-plant/tree fresh). We were skinny, but many of us were as healthy as horses!

Nowadays, I use Moringa most often in my Vegetable-Seafood Soup (mixed with shrimps or other seafood, bitter melon, tomatoes, mushroom, okra).  However, it is in a frozen form, and not fresh. I'll take it!

Surprised!

Our oldest son made an unexpected appearance at our front door when he should have been 5000 miles away.  I had just been to his old bedroom and had felt nostalgic. Sigh. 

A half-hour later, there he was in real life! I didn't care about the why, what, where, or when... only that he was home and I could hug him. I felt thrilled, thankful, amazed. This must have been how the prodigal son's father felt.    Even the dogs & cat got so very excited. He also came bearing delicious gifts.  Oh, joy! Thank You, Jesus!!

Tony Bennett, Entertainer

Do you know this lady?*

 She is the opening act for the singer, Tony Bennett

Mr Bennett put on his 38th appearance at Ravinia; and we we were there and saw him for the very first time. His 91st Bday was the day before the show. Happy Birthday, Tony!

He ran onto the stage at his introduction, giving me and the audience a very good first impression of what a 91-year-old can do. He wore his go-to white jacked coupled with dark pants. His appearance glowed under the spotlights.  He could still belt-out the songs and hit the high notes. Amazing!!!  What does he eat, and what is his exercise routine?  I insist that he write a book sharing his health secrets.

The only negative was that he did not sing "I Wanna Be Around" (thus, below is the link to the song on youTube).  He DID sing my very favorite: "The Shadow of Your Smile". Swoon.

Will we ever see  Mr Bennett again?  Only the Lord knows; but I said a prayer for Mr Tony's physical and spiritual health, in Jesus' name.

*Her name is Antonia, and Tony Bennett happens to be her Dad.  She's a pretty red-head with a good voice; and the full-length, tiered black that she wore was nice, IMO.
So, he shows-off his kid's talent, and promotes her by letting her sing at his show. Nice.  How typical of a parent, LoL!

LOONEY LIBERALS NOW SAY THAT AMERICANS MUST GIVE UP THEIR PETS IN ORDER TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING

Most cat or dog lovers would say they can’t imagine living in a world without pets, but as the threat of global warming increases, environmentally conscious pet lovers may need to make some tough choices, according to the study.

Pet ownership in the United States creates about 64 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, UCLA researchers found. That’s the equivalent of driving 13.6 million cars for a year. The problem lies with the meat-filled diets of kitties and pooches, according to the study by UCLA geography professor Gregory Okin.

Dogs and cats are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of the impacts of meat production in the United States, said Orkin. Compared to a plant-based diet, meat production “requires more energy, land and water and has greater environmental consequences in terms of erosion, pesticides and waste,” the study found.

And what goes in, must come out. In terms of waste, Okin noted, feeding pets also leads to about 5.1 million tons of feces every year, roughly equivalent to the total trash production of Massachusetts.

 “Given the significant environmental impact of meat production, the contributions of our omnivorous and carnivorous pets deserve special attention,” according to Okin’s study, published in the journal PLOS ONE. “The U.S. has the largest population of pet dogs and cats globally, with an estimated 77.8 million dogs and 85.6 million cats in 2015.”

While previous studies have examined the impact of pet ownership on carbon use, water quality, disease and wildlife, Okin’s study delved into its impact on total U.S. energy and meat consumption and the environmental impact of that consumption.

“This analysis does not mean to imply that dog and cat ownership should be curtailed for environmental reasons, but neither should we view it as an unalloyed good,” Okin wrote in the study. “It is clear that a transition to pets that eat less meat, and therefore have less environmental impact, would reduce the overall U.S. consumption of meat.”

Okin’s report notes the social and emotional benefits of owning dogs and cats, insisting the study is intended to increase the awareness of the impact such pets have on the nation’s meat-production industry and its environmental effects.

“Additional research is needed to evaluate the animal content and human-edibility of ingredients in dog and cat food after processing, but the calculations presented here indicate that these pets comprise a significant proportion of U.S. energy and animal-derived product consumption, with the consequent environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emission and feces production,” he wrote.

Okin noted that the pet food industry has made advancements in manufacturing, product design and alternative protein sources, but more can be done.

Simple measures like feeding domestic dogs and cats nutritionally appropriate amounts will certainly reduce their environmental and energetic impact, Okin wrote. “However, without large-scale reduction in their number and changes to the food system that drastically reduces the per-capita animal product consumption, the environmental and energetic impact of these animals will remain significant.”

-NOW THE END BEGINS

“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.”
