What’s a preniptual?

No, that is not a typo in the headline. Read on…

NEW YORK––The bride was radiant. Some guests said it was the sunlight bouncing off her cascading white chiffon veil; others commented that it was a “pregnancy glow,” because Ashley Nunn was carrying octuplets. The groom’s excitement was visible: Buddy Lewinski drooled and wagged his tail vigorously as he waited for his bride to reach the altar.

Ashley, a blackmouth cur mix, and Buddy, a tri-color beagle, were married in Katy, Texas, in 2002 by Rev. Lynn Turner, a licensed minister who marries both pets and people (although not to each other). These unions, called “Bow-wow vows,” are on the rise in the United States and are often accompanied by a cadre of professionals, such as pet marriage counselors, pet wedding planners, pet caterers, pet trainers and pet priests.

“Holy Muttrimonies, Bark Mitzvahs and pet ceremonies in general have really started taking off,” said Diana Guerrero, animal behavior expert and pet-trend watcher. “People treat their pets like their own children. Sheltering organizations, church leadership, party planners are saying, ‘Holy hot dog! Here’s all these people with pets and they’re spending a lot of money, let’s welcome them in.’ ” Read the rest of this entry »

Bloggers Unite. Streetwise #2

Posted in Issues/Opinions, News on May 15th, 2008 by PM

In Chicago there is a visible, successful, inspiring organization, Streetwise.

Who We Are and What We Do
StreetWise is a social enterprise designed to help severely impoverished men and women out of poverty. We publish weekly a general interest newspaper with a gritty “from the streets perspective” to give insite to its readers on what is really going on in Chicago. By using vendors as the distribution mechanism, we are able to personalize the face of poverty and create income for the vendor.

In April, 2008, there was an article about a vendor who was no longer selling Streetwise. He was a vendor for two years and during that time was able to pull it together, save some money to go to school. He is currently paying his rent, buying his food, and going to school. Bravo!

PM supports this organization, the vendors, whenever the opportunity presents itself. If you are in Chicago, please do the same when you see a Streetwise vendor. Also visit the Streetwise site. If your city does not have a similar program think about introducing the business model to your city.

Top two photos from Wired magazine [wired 15.11] discussing cloning. “The other other white meat”—it looks the same, it cooks the same, it tastes the same. but this pig, a Hampshire from Indiana name Nelly, is a clone. And cloned bacon? It may already be at your supermarket. The second photo deck copy reads “My fist-size chop is glazed in a sugary, thick-as-molasses marinade. It tastes better than anything I’ve had at a restaurant—moist, succulent, and wonderfully tender.Read the rest of this entry »
