Maybe Laura should inspect those Passion Vinces more carefully:



Tibetan nomad Lhamotsa, who goes by one name, earns a living gathering caterpillar fungus. The gathering season is short, about 40 days, but during that time she can earn $1,000 a week. The fungus is prized in traditional medicine and is said to boost energy and the immune system, and sexual function.

Good morning DR SpringBoard.

Good evening, DR Tomovoz!!!  I don't know about a springboard [although I loved watching the Olympic diving trials on television last weekend!!!], but at times I do feel like I've been shot out of a canon! :)

What a pity we had to wait so long for "Smile" DR Edi. It would have been another classic from the period.

Tomovoz, do you have the NME album "Sgt. Pepper Knew My Father", with covers of the songs by different British bands?

But at least now we have it.

Have you seen the SMiLE documentary? The guy who made it looks like he will be the one taking over our Johnny Mercer film, so I can't be too sad about it. I got to meet him when I was in LA.

I am having trouble understanding DD Sherlock's exact problem.  Is DR Jane saying that a foxtail spiky plant is embedded inside his paw?     :-\

FOXTAIL DANGERS


Quote
When dog owners talk about "foxtails," they are actually speaking of the seed portion of the foxtail grass. Once foxtail grasses dry out, the seed detaches easily and sticks readily to clothing and fur. Foxtail seeds can enter a dog's body in a variety of ways and once they enter, they are like a fish hook: The seed only wants to move forward, not backward. It's most common for a foxtail seed to enter a dog's body through the skin, nose, ears, paws, and eyes. Cases have even been reported of foxtails being lodged in male dogs' urethras. One vet mentioned how a foxtail seed found in a dog's lung was believed to have entered initially through the dog's paw! Foxtail seeds are tenacious!

Foxtail seeds are relatively small, so detecting them once they enter a dog's body can be difficult. Vets usually rely on telltale symptoms. Foxtail seeds in the ears, nose, and eyes are very serious and can ultimately be life-threatening if they are not treated promptly.

If a foxtail seed has been inhaled and lodged in the nasal cavity, the dog will sneeze repeatedly and violently, often banging their nose on the floor with each sneeze in a futile attempt to dislodge the seed. It is often possible to sedate the animal, locate the seed with an otoscope, and remove it using special forceps.

If a foxtail seed is lodged in the paw or under the coat, a lump will usually form that is painful to touch. Depending on how deep the foxtail seed has travelled, they can usually be surgically removed.

I loath The Bee Gees/Peter Frampton  album and I gave up on watching "Across The Universe". It makes "High School musical" look like a gem!

I don't remember if I mentioned it our not, but when I was in the kitchen last week getting ready for work. I saw a red fox in our yard. The birds were raising hell and screaming at him. I wonder if he'd found a nest?

Wow.  Thanks, DR dB.   I had no idea.   About the foxtail seeds, I mean.  
There's plenty of other stuff I have no idea about too, but you already knew that.   :)

Yes I saw the Smile DVD before purchasing the CD.

I really enjoyed it.

I'll certainly purchase the Mercer "story" when it is available.

A friend of mine who I respect for his knowledge of music loved it, but everyone else I know gave it thumbs down. I'd like to see it, anyway...

The Sgt. Pepper cover, which is a rap version, I quite like!

I wish I would be able to continue on the Mercer story, but they want a bigger fish to produce it, and he has his own editor, so...

Even if he didn't, I don't think I could relocate to CA for that long. But the foundation hasn't completely settled on this producer yet, so we shall see. I think he'd do a great job!

I was discussing a Fox yesterday!
One was an important character in a Clive Barker novel.

Clive Barker is so good.  IMHO his work makes Stephen King look like a writer of Grade School stories. Barker is an amazing writer. "Literate" in a way that is not present in most writers of the genre. (OK I've not read that many) Of course he does have an interesting take on horror with its eroticism elements.

A pity Mr Barker's writing does not work as film! "Hell Raiser" was so bad! (and Mr Barker directed - which may have been the problem!).
