Sinatra’s ‘Trilogy’: An Appreciation
The year was 1979. With the exception of a handful of single recordings (as well as an aborted attempt with Nelson Riddle in 1977 to record an album based around ladies’ names), Frank Sinatra had not recorded a new full-length album in more than five years. Having made his comeback in 1973 with the album Ol’ Blue Eyes Is Back, followed a year later with Some Nice Things I’ve Missed, Sinatra often claimed in the ensuing years that he hadn’t found enough good material in order to warrant the recording of a new album. Despite this, one of the most asked questions amongst all of the countless amounts of fan mail he received was as to when he would be releasing a new record.
That spring, Sinatra was prepared to give his fan base an answer.
He was working on a new recording with his pianist and conductor Vincent Falcone when a man named Sonny Burke entered the studio. An important confidant to Sinatra, Burke served as musical director for Sinatra’s label Reprise Records and had produced most of Frank’s musical output since the early 1960s.
Guess the One Word That Best Describes the Presidential Primary Process?
Given the recent talk of possible floor fights at both the Republican and Democratic conventions this year, I figured I’d take some time to learn more about the primary process. As a citizen, I should have a good understanding of how our next President will be elected. Shouldn’t I???? That said, after extensive reading and listening to the talking heads on cable news, I’m left with a pulse pounding headache and more confused than ever. Tylenol may not do for this one. I might need to break out the Vicodin along with a shot of Jack Daniels. You might too once you read what follows.
League of Legends Game Review
What up Fam! It’s DeShawn bringing you a review of one of my most played and favorite games, League of Legends. I have been playing this game for almost 5 years and I’m still one of its biggest fans. In short it’s a MOBA or multiplayer online battle arena. What the hell does that mean? Well it’s a group of players usually arranged in 5v5 teams where each team picks a character to play and has to work together to destroy the other teams base/structures. Each character has a set of unique abilities that impact the game in various ways. Now that you kind of have a rough idea of what a MOBA is I will get into the review.

Fur Babies Corner: The Danger of Ticks
Ticks started attaching to our K-9 friends early this year, probably due to our mild winter. Several of our human friends have found them attached to them already. It only takes one tick bite to infect your dog; some ticks can carry more than one disease.
In rescue we see a lot of flea and tick infestation. Some are so bad the dog is very ill. Ehrlichlosis is common in dogs we rescue. It is transmitted by the common brown dog tick. The symptoms of Ehrlichlosis may not be obvious, if left untreated it can become a chronic infection. The dogs we have encountered with this disease are usually very underweight and experiencing nose bleeds.

Fur Babies Corner: A Penny for Your Thoughts – Dog in the Adoption Spotlight
We would like for everyone to meet Penny. She is a 2 year old lab mix, she is spayed, up to date on her shots and microchipped. Penny lived on the streets of Tulsa for a while until her homeless owner could no longer care for her. The volunteers with “Feeding the pets of Tulsa’s homeless” all knew Penny and knew she was a good girl that deserved a good home. One of those volunteers had been in contact with the volunteers at Fur Babies Adoptions, together they were able to get Penny to a foster home in the Muskogee area. Penny needs a home of her own, her foster home has several other dogs Penny has done well with all of them except a dominant Chihuahua, so probably no small dogs in her home would be best.

Fur Babies Corner: Why Microchip My Pet?
A microchip is small about the size of a grain of rice. The chip is injected just under the skin of your pet, right below the collar between the shoulder blades. The injection is the same as getting a vaccination. The chip holds a very important number that is unique to your pet. When you have your pet microchipped you have to go to the manufacturer and register the chip in your name and address. You must keep this information updated if you want to be notified when your pet is found. No it will not track your pet for you. If your pet is lost for any reason, when found the pet is taken to a shelter or veterinarian and scanned with a wand.

We all have seen this on signs and advertisements. There are 1000’s of adorable mix breed and full blood animals in our shelters that need homes. They are not broken, they are not sick, they need homes. That is where rescues come in to play. A rescue that is recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 nonprofit can go to the shelters and “pull” or take dogs that need homes. A good rescue will take the dog to a veterinarian for rabies shots then to a foster home until the animal is spayed or neutered. The rescue provides wormer and other vaccinations. Once all vetting is done the dog is available for adoption.

Near Death Experiences: Paranormal Phenomena or a Trick of The Mind?
We’ve all heard someone say, ‘My life flashed before my eyes’, almost always at the time of a traumatic experience. Let’s define traumatic. Perhaps a person is drowning but is rescued just in time, or you swerve your car away from danger at the last second. But what if a person isn’t that lucky? What if they can’t steer to safety and are involved in a horrific accident and could not live without intervention, or they’re not pulled from the water in time and need resuscitation? That would be a near death experience.

Mega Riffs Vol. 5: “No More Tears”
Ok! Been away for a bit with the “Mega Riff” series. Now it’s back, and boy do we have a monster today: “No More Tears” by Ozzy Osbourne. The guitar player on this tune is none other than Zakk “I look like Odin with a guitar” Wylde. This one is special because not only does it contain the heaviest riff in Ozzy’s hallowed canon of songs, it also has an all time great solo. Wylde was the boy prodigy only a few short years prior to this 1991 classic when he debuted on 1988’s No Rest For the Wicked. The Z-Man was only 21 when that one came out and he gave us a taste of future mega riffs with songs like “Breaking All the Rules” and “Crazy Babies”. Having matured a bit since his debut, Wylde comes into his own on “No More Tears”. No longer a young gunslinger, Zakk has now earned “Guitar God” status.
Fur Babies Corner: Dealing with Heartworms in Dogs
Working in animal rescue we work with dogs who generally have not had veterinary care. These dogs are malnourished and sometimes very sick. Their medical care can sometimes use any spare funds the rescue has. One common disease we see in dogs is heartworms. This disease is brutal on dogs, and can quickly take their lives.
The heart of the dog actually fills with living worms. Worms that reproduce and quickly fill the heart and lungs, smothering the dog to death. The worms can break off and cause a “clot” in the main arteries and kill the dog at any given time.
