IT"S FRIDAY
Well another week gone by. Time seems to fly, maybe because I'm a year older...I hope that everyone will have a nice weekend. Its looking like maybe we'll have snow on our Mountain, and that there will be another weekend of skiing before the weather really warms up. Do something fun, tell someone that you love them, and do a random act of kindness for someone you don't know. I promise you, it'll give you a great feeling that'll last all day. See you Monday, unless something spectacular happens, that would cause me to share....Oh yes...I am now 13 days as a non-smoker. It's been a challenge, but determination has won out.
60 Dogs Rescued From 2 Bedroom Home.
Animal control officers and local authorities arrested Alice Via, 65, on suspicion of cruelty to animals after discovering the 60 dogs in her home in rural East County.
"Living in squalid conditions -- they're kept in crates, basically from what we're told, 23 hours a day. They're left outside for maybe half an hour," said Dan DeSousa, a spokesperson for the county Animal Services Department.
Via lives on 11600 block of Moreno in Lakeside. The dogs were confined in crates stacked several high in various rooms of her approximately 750-square-foot house. They had plenty of food but lacked enough water, according to County Animal Services.
The majority of the dogs are Boxers, some Chihuahuas and a few other dog breeds, DeSousa said. All of the animals were taken to local animal shelters for treatment.
"Many of the dogs have skin conditions, upper respiratory disease or other illnesses,'' DeSousa said."In addition, most ... have injuries to their feet and noses from trying to escape from their crates.''
Via is in charge of an organization called San Diego Boxer Rescue and sheltered animals on her fenced-in property. Officials believe that she had good intentions in sheltering the dogs, but the situation spiraled out of control. "That's not the life for an animal, plain and simple."
Just an example of when good intentions go bad. My question is what WAS she thinking?

Mad Cow Disease Case Hidden For Weeks By Canadian and U.S. Agencies
"The CFIA said the BSE-positive case was confirmed Feb. 25, 2010, which means the CFIA and all other governments who knew about this latest BSE case kept it a secret from the public for almost two weeks," said R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard. "If we had not discovered this information, the public may never have known." Read More: Source Huffington Post Mad Cow Disease
Really makes you wonder how powerful the Beef Industries Lobby is if they can keep this hidden. You have to wonder why.
Plastic Surgery Horror
State health officials say the women, from Essex County, apparently underwent cosmetic procedures from unlicensed providers, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported.
Investigators have not determined if the cases are related.
No arrests have been made. Instead of medical-grade silicone, the women received a diluted version of nonmedical-grade silicone. State epidemiologist Tina Tan says there's the risk for more serious complications when infections are not treated early.
EEEEEWWWW!!! The lengths people will go to in their quest for beauty...
Juanita Goggins Dead
COLUMBIA, S.C. When Juanita Goggins became the first black woman elected to the South Carolina Legislature in 1974, she was hailed as a trailblazer and twice visited the president at the White House.
Three decades later, she froze to death at age 75, a solitary figure living in a rented house four miles from the gleaming Statehouse dome.
Goggins, whose achievements included key legislation on school funding, kindergarten and class size, had become increasingly reclusive. She spent her final years turning down help from neighbors who knew little of her history-making past. Her body was not discovered for more than a week.

How sad that regardless of her fame, she died alone.

Pedro Lourenco
19-Year-Old Designer, Presents Impeccable Collection In Paris
One of Paris Fashion Week's standout collections was designed not by a big fashion house or a well-established industry name, but by a 19-year-old Brazilian named Pedro Lourenço. According to Elle.com, Lourenço's parents are also designers. He started sewing as a toddler and he's been professional since age 12. He said that he's inspired by "Diana the huntress, and also the architect Oscar Niemeyer."
I wish him huge success.
