Dr. Boggs graduated from Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in 2003. She then completed a medicine and surgery internship at Peterson & Smith Equine Hospital in Ocala, Florida. Following completion of this internship, which she thoroughly enjoyed, she returned to CSU for an equine medicine residency.
She remembers seeing more foals while an intern than during her entire residency training! She credits much of her enthusiasm for internal medicine to her initial mentor, Dr. Carol Clark. While at CSU she also attained a Master's Degree in Clinical Sciences where her research focused on clostridial diarrhea in neonatal foals. Dr. Boggs became board-certified with the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and certified in veterinary acupuncture. She has worked in private practices in ambulatory, consulting and referral hospital settings in Colorado and Virginia, including Blue Ridge Equine Clinic. Most recently she was an Equine Medicine Clinical Faculty at Mississippi State University College of Veterinary medicine. Her main areas of interest include equine ophthalmology, cardiac disease, neonatology and pain management. She regularly speaks at national and international meetings and has published on all of these topics.
Prior to veterinary school she competed and trained three-day event horses and Grand Prix Show Jumpers for over eight years. She joined Pfizer Animal Health (now Zoetis) as an Equine Technical Services Veterinarian in September 2011 and supports the Pacific North West region. This job entails providing veterinary education through one-on-one talks and group presentations, supporting the equine sales force, initiating research projects in conjunction with university professionals and providing technical support to Zoetis Emerging Diseases marketing group. She recently moved back to Colorado and bought a house in one of the historic neighborhoods of downtown Denver, which she spends much of her free time fixing up, decorating and landscaping. She enjoys cooking, entertaining friends, hiking with her dog, Deuce, traveling, and a variety of outdoor activities. Some of the most interesting places she has visited include South Africa, India and most recently Belize, where she completed her open water scuba diving certification.

Finding work as a freelancer sometimes can be difficult. Time consuming task that every freelancer goes trough is finding clients. Freelance sites connects freelancers to clients. There are many sites out there and we have chosen best sites at the moment.
21. Freelancer.com
This is the largest platform for freelancers, with +20 million users. But they haven't raise this number of users thank to their concern for users on sites. Freelancer.com has accuried many freelance sites, like vWork, GetAFreelancer. All users have been transfer and redirected them into their site (against their will!). Freelancer.com could be a good place to start while learning new skill, but don't rely on this platform too much for longer period.
Tip: When you get hired by the client, Freelancer takes commission from your account/card before project starts. Make sure that client is trustworthy so you don't get in trouble. (Example: Accept job for $500, you get charged $50)
20. LinkedIn Profinder
In case you have missed it, LinkedIn launched their own freelance platform Profinder. It was before Microsoft acquisition. Although it was natural move by LinkedIn they didn't get enough momentum at the time. It started only for San Francisco area and later they expanded for whole US. Freelancers that tried to work on Profinder had hard time to get single gig from it. I have put this on this list considering its made by LinkedIn and since it is still a pilot program.
19. CraigList
Craig list is not only for selling your old couch. It can be a powerful tool to get a freelance gig. There are many jobs posting in every country so explore a little, look for a job that suits your needs.
Plus side is, there are many remote jobs available. Downside is that anyone can post a job there so be careful so you don't get scammed. Some freelancers had better luck posting their services and let the clients come to them.
18. Angel List Jobs
Angel List is top site for freelancers to get a gig at start up. Angel List offers lot of jobs posted in many variety. Just filter one that suits your skills and availability and start applying for jobs.
17. Fiverr
Started out as "All for $5" service platform, now Fiverr has raised that limit. Now you can set you own price for service that you offer. Considering this site as an education for negotiation of your rates. Even though services starts for low as a $5, you can get more money from client by offering more related services.
16. People Per Hour
It is mix of Upwork and Fiverr. You can post your services or you can bid on jobs. Not much different from other general freelance sites but could land you a few jobs.
15. Guru
This site is one of those that looks like it is My First Website. But it made to this list because people make money using this site. Searching through site single freelancer(agency) made $162 k last year. It may be the highest earning freelancer, but you could give it a go.
14. Dribble Jobs
Invite only portfolio service can be a great place for designer to get hired or to apply for the full time design jobs.
13. Behance Jobs
Works same as the Dribble Jobs, clients pay $399 for posting job so you can be sure they will hire someone. Designers can get hired if you have cool looking projects in portfolio.
12. 99design
Contest freelance platform for designer is a place where you can get your portfolio a little bigger. On 99design you compete with around 50 freelancers per contest from around the world.
11. Envato Studio
Envato, known for selling digital assets, like WP themes on Themeforest and Codecanyon for selling code. Part of Envato group is freelance platform Envato studio. You can post your services and then wait to get hired by the client. This can be good side money, especially if you are know setting up and customisation of WordPress themes.
10. Stack Overflow Jobs
If you are kick ass programmer, this could be great place to boost your freelance career. Although it has jobs board, your portfolio will be the one that makes the difference. According to some programmers setting up good portfolio makes employers come to you.
9. Github Jobs
Although most of the jobs are full time, you can find good part-time programming contracts. Even if there is full time job opening, this can be a good place to get you leads.
8. WordPress Jobs
WordPress has its own job board. Job postings are little slow but there are jobs from many areas like design and programming jobs. Once again, you can take leads from there.
7. Folyo
One of the newer freelance site could be a good place to catch some clients. There is no rating system. Folyo connects startups with trustworthy design and development firms over email.
6. Krop
Krop is like Folyo only for designers. Here you can bid on jobs or clients can find you trough their resume database.
5. Localancers
Localancers is freelance platform that enables you to find local freelancers. Freelancer based on their skills, price and location. They are offering first year for free($19) considering they are still new on the market.
4. Upwork
Merging 2 great sites should give you one that will fit your need. But in case of Upwork this is not a case. They merged one of the best platform that was out there Elance with good one oDesk. Made a lot of freelancers angry and made them look for jobs elsewhere. On top of that they added 20% commission that made quality freelancers flee from the site. With all that said Upwork is still one of the best sites out there. No thanks to the fact that Upwork is good but the lack of the quality competition. Lots of jobs posted every day and lot of freelancers as a competition.
3. Gigster
Gigster offers to clients the best developers, designers and project managers. Quality check makes it different from Upwork and similar sites. They only accept the best ones out there so if you feel that you are on that level sure consider applying on Gigster.
2. Crew
One of the freelance platform for designers and programmers that has most potential. Crew have a quality check that assures you that you will be in good company. They only accept number of freelancers that are needed for the amount of the projects they currently have.
1. Toptal
Toptal made it to the top of the list thanks to their quality check and hiring, at the begging, top 3% developers. Now they have expanded their offerings for freelancers. Now, alongside developers, you can work as a designer and financial experts. They have detailed interview process so be honest about your skills.
Here are some of my favorites. There is no site that will fit everyone need. It is best to try most of these until you find one that will suit you the most. What is your favorite freelance site?

Cutaneous Side Effects Associated With Targeted Therapy
Quick Facts
Skin rash associated with HER1/EGFR therapy is generally considered mild to moderate in nature,1,2 affecting more than 50% of patients receiving treatment. The incidence of severe rash (grade 3) is reported in 16% to 18% of patients.2,3 The cutaneous eruptions appear primarily on the face, neck, and upper torso, as seen inFigure 1, and the face is often the first area affected by the rash.4
The rash is characterized by interfollicular and follicular-based erythematous papules and pustules and is usually seen during the first 2 weeks of therapy.1,2
The follicular skin lesions are without the microcomedones and comedones characteristic of acne, indicating that this rash in not acne vulgaris.1,2,5
The pathophysiology is not completely understood, but interference with the proliferation, differentiation, migration, and attachment of keratinocytes is believed to occur with EGFRI therapy, resulting in recruitment of inflammatory cells and injury to the cutaneous tissues.7,8 Since EGFR is highly expressed in the epidermal keratinocytes, sebaceous glands, and epithelium of the hair follicle, inhibition of these receptors can produce characteristic dermatologic effects.9
Grading and Management of EGFR-Associated Rash
Limitations with the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria scales10 had prompted consensus panels of experts to revise grading of EGFR rash, as the third version was subject to variable interpretation and called for involvement of body surface area in calculating grades of rash.11,12 Recommendations for simplifying the approach to grading, for ease of patient care and more accuracy, now exist. This simplified approach (as illustrated below) calls for 3 categories: mild, moderate, and severe (Figure 3). The mild reaction is considered to be a generalized localized papulopustular reaction with minimal symptoms; the moderate reaction is a generalized papulopustular rash that is pruritic or tender, but minimally affects the activities of daily living (or ADLs); and the severe reaction is a generalized papulopustular rash with severe pruritus or tenderness that affects ADLs significantly and may possibly be infected.11 It is worth noting, however, that the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4 (NCI-CTC v.4) was released in May of 2009 and has a more specific descriptive grading scale for the EGFR rash and associated nail toxicities. The revised grading scales are available in Table 2 (Assessment Tools).
Photographs courtesy of Pamela Viale, RN,MS, CS, ANP, AOCNP, member of Advisory Panel.
There are no established evidence-based guidelines on the treatment of rash symptoms associated with HER1/EGFR inhibitors, and many of the interventions are based on anecdotal reports or the experience of our dermatologist colleagues.1,2,6 Many of these strategies were primarily based on the effectiveness noted with anti-acne strategies. However, the consensus panel did develop treatment recommendations for rash based on their expert opinion.
These recommendations are that patients should use emollients for the dry skin or xerosis that accompanies EGFR therapies, and sunscreen should be used early on, as inhibition of the EGFRs lessens their protective nature, allowing sun exposure to worsen rash symptoms. Sunscreen products should have a high sun protection factor (SPF). Mild rash may not require intervention; if needed, clindamycin gel and/or topical hydrocortisone may be adequate. Moderate rash may require the previous treatments, or consideration of pimecrolimus 1%, plus a tetracycline analogue agent, such as oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily or minocycline 100 mg twice daily. Severe rash requires dose interruption of the EGFR agent, tetracycline analogue treatment, plus application of hydrocortisone cream, clindamycin gel, or pimecrolimus, plus an oral steroid dose pack.11 Each tier of care requires careful assessment of patient response to strategies for treatment of rash. Dermatologic consultation is advisable in uncontrolled or severe cases.
Limited evidence exists in the form of randomized, controlled trials for management of EGFR-associated rash; however, several studies were reported in the last 2 years regarding rash treatment. The results of selected studies are listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Clinical Trials on Treatment of Chemotherapy-Associated Rash
Study Author Study Design Study Results Recommendations
Kozloff et al. 200713
Pilot, randomized, prospective single-center observational study of 20 patients (8 reported) on cetuximab or other EGFR inhibitor therapy receiving Regenecare for cutaneous toxicity. Regenecare containscollagen / lidocaine / aloe.
Of 11 patients meeting criteria, 8 completed evaluation after 4 weeks of Regenecare application for cutaneous toxicity. The study data indicated that Regenecare was effective in reducing itching and pain associated with rash; relief occurred within 15 to 30 minutes.
100% of patients would recommend product to others.
Alexandrescu et al. 200714
Pilot study of 11 patients (10 assessable) on EGFR MAbs and TKI oral agents receiving colloidal oatmeal lotion for dermatologic toxicity.
Of 10 assessable patients, 6 had complete response, and 4 partial responses (100% response rate) with no associated toxicities. Colloidal oatmeal lotion demonstrates multiple anti-inflammatory properties on arachidonic acid and TNF-alpha pathways.
Treatment with colloidal oatmeal lotion is efficient in controlling EGFR rash with no associated toxicities and 100% response rate, allowing continuation of therapy.
Ocvirk et al. 200815
Pilot trial of 30 patients on cetuximab plus chemotherapy with rash treated with topical crème containing urea and 0.1% vitamin K1 (Reconval K1) started after the first cutaneous toxicity noted.
Of the 30 patients, 6 had grade 3 rash, 18 grade 2, and 6 grade 1. Crème was used twice daily. All patients had reduction in cutaneous toxicity, with median time to improvement 8 days, and 18 days to down-stage rash 1 grade. No toxicity noted with therapy.
Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact on the response rate of cetuximab and quality of life.
Scope et al. 200716
Randomized, double-blinded trial of prophylactic oral minocycline and topical tazarotene for cetuximab dermatological toxicity; 48 patients were randomized to either minocycline or placebo, with tazarotene on either left or right side of the face.
Total facial lesion counts were significantly lower in patients receiving minocycline at weeks 1 through 4. At week 4, 20% of patients reported moderate to severe itch vs placebo (50%). No benefits to tazarotene application and treatment was associated with significant irritation.
Prophylaxis with oral minocycline may be useful in decreasing the severity of acneiform rash during first month of treatment; topical tazarotene is not recommended.
Jatoi et al. 200817
Placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial enrolled patients starting therapy with an EGFR inhibitor agent. A total of 61 evaluable patients were enrolled; patients were randomly assigned to either tetracycline 500 mg orally twice a day for 28 days or placebo.
The incidence of rash was found to be comparable across treatment arms: 70% in tetracycline group vs 76% in placebo group. Tetracycline appeared to have lessened the rash severity; by week 4, grade 2 rash was present in 17% of tetracycline patients vs 55% of placebo patients. Symptoms were improved in tetracycline group.
Tetracycline was not found to prevent EGFR inhibitor rash and cannot be clinically recommended for this purpose; however, diminished rash severity and improved quality of life in tetracycline patients suggest further study warranted.
Lacouture et al. 200818
Prospective trial of 95 patients on panitumumab receiving either preemptive or reactive treatment with doxycycline for EGFR rash.
Only 29% of patients in preemptive group experienced serious skin reactions vs 62% in the reactive group; effectiveness of chemo/EGFR therapy was not affected by preemptive therapy.
Preemptive therapy for skin reactions appears to significantly reduce the rate of skin reactions associated with treatment with panitumumab without affecting effectiveness of therapy.
Scope et al. 200919
Prospective randomized trial of topical pimecrolimus for cetuximab-associated acnelike eruption; 24 patients received twice-daily pimecrolimus for 5 weeks.
Treatment sides had greater decrease in lesion counts vs observation sides of face at week 2 and 5 (P< .001 andP= .02, respectively); however, no significant differences in patients' symptoms and review of facial photographs for severity.
Pimecrolimus application did not translate into clinically meaningful benefit for patients with cetuximab-associated facial rash.
Other Cutaneous Toxicities
There are other cutaneous toxicities associated with HER1/EGFR-targeted therapy. These include nail bed toxicity (paronychia), hair alterations, xerosis, telangiectasia, nasal mucositis, and ocular irritation (Figures 5-8).1,2,5
Hair Alterations2,5
Xerosis and Related Changes, Skin Fissures2,5
Nasal Mucositis
Ocular Irritation21
Role of the Oncology Nurse
Oncology nurses caring for patients on EGFR-inhibitor therapy need to become competent in treatment of these common dermatologic toxicities. Because rash indicates a probable response to therapy, it is incumbent on the oncology nurse to implement care strategies for these toxicities, helping patients to maintain therapy for longer periods. Education of the patient regarding the characteristics and time course of the rash and associated toxicities is crucial.4 Care strategies should be instituted early and be based on current expert recommendations and clinical trial results for treatment of EGFR inhibitor rash.22 Although steroids were originally not recommended in product package inserts, short-term oral steroids or steroid creams have shown clinical use in reducing inflammation associated with EGFR inhibitor therapy.
When necessary, dosage reductions are important; however, this option is not considered optimal, as the goal of therapy is to keep responding patients on therapy.4EGFR inhibitor therapy is an integral part of cancer treatment today, and management of the dermatologic toxicities associated with this therapy is crucial as EGFR inhibitor therapy expands into additional indications.
Assessment Tools
The different scales and rash descriptions make it difficult to compare the severity of the rash.10 The scale in Table 2 is commonly used to grade adverse events associated with skin and toxicity.
Table 2. The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.010
Adverse Event _ ---------------------------------------------Grade--------------------------------------------------------
Papules and/or pustules covering < 10% BSA, which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness
Papules and/or pustules covering 10%-30% BSA, which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness; associated with psychosocial impact; limiting instrumental ADL
Papules and/or pustules covering > 30% BSA, which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness; limiting self-care ADL; associated with local superinfection with oral antibiotics indicated
Papules and/or pustules covering any % BSA, which may or may not be associated with symptoms of pruritus or tenderness and are associated with extensive superinfection, with IV antibiotics indicated; life-threatening consequences
Defined as a disorder characterized by an eruption of papules and pustules, typically appearing in face, scalp, upper chest, and back.
Macules/papules covering < 10% BSA with or without symptoms (eg, pruritus, burning, tightness)
Macules/papules covering 10%-30% BSA with or without symptoms (eg, pruritus, burning, tightness); limiting instrumental ADL
Macules/papules covering >30% BSA with or without symptoms (eg, pruritus, burning, tightness); limiting self-care ADL
Defined as a disorder characterized by the presence of macules (flat) and papules (elevated). Also known as morbilliform rash; one the most common cutaneous adverse events, frequently affecting the upper trunk, spreading centripetally, and associated with pruritus.
Asymptomatic; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated
Defined as a disorder characterized by a change in the color of the nail plate.
Asymptomatic separation of the nail bed from the nail plate or nail loss
Symptomatic separation of the nail bed from the nail palte or nail loss; limiting instrumental ADL
Defined as a disorder characterized by loss of all or a portion of the nail.
Key Definitions
blepharitis—inflammation of the eyelid
comedones—bumpy skin, commonly known as blackheads
HER1/EGFR therapy—human epidermal growth factor receptor or HER family include HER1/EGFR. Agents that target HER1/EGFR are 2 types: tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies (MAb). When activated, EGFR leads to cell proliferation, inhibits cells death, enhances angiogenesis, and triggers metastasis. Rash is the common side effect of HER1/EGFR inhibitors
interfollicular—between follicles
microcomedones—follicular casts

While longevity may be a sign of a healthy relationship, a marriage can begin to fall apart after any amount of time. In fact, the dissolution of marriage between spouses aged 50 and older, known as "grey divorce" may be on the rise. One study out of Bowling Green State University in Ohio concluded that the divorce rate among Americans 50 and older doubled between 1990 and 2010. While a "grey" divorce may sound melancholy, it can often be the best path forward for many spouses who are looking to begin the next chapter in their lives. If you would like more information on this topic, please visit Arizona Family Law Attorneys online at www.greydivorcing.com.
Grey Divorces on the Rise
As couples age together, their circumstances and preferences can change substantially. After the kids have left the nest and retirement waits over the horizon, what they find appealing in life and in a partner may change as well. While the researchers out of Bowling Green State University only looked at the raw data, there are several reasons why the U.S. may be seeing increases in grey divorcing. On one hand, social stigmas that have traditionally surrounded divorce may be beginning to fall away in the United States. Additionally, the average life expectancy for both men and women is also on the rise. Longer marriages coupled with the reduction in societal pressure may be allowing a wider range of older couples to explore the possibility of divorce.
Considerations for Grey Divorces
While each divorce will be governed by similar legal mechanisms regardless of age, several areas may require additional attention during a grey divorce. Older spouses may spend decades investing in joint accounts, building assets, and creating memories together that may add value to even the smallest possession. When a divorce occurs, proceedings can often be complex.
- Spousal maintenance: The terms of spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, can be influenced by numerous factors and when at least one spouse is working, it is a likelihood that is best to plan for. While younger couples typically have short-term agreements designed to help a spouse acclimate to a single income, in grey divorces, agreements may be set for longer periods of time. It is critical to consider the effects of spousal maintenance on post-divorce incomes and budgets.
- Retirement planning: Financial issues can often be at the center of disputes and between 401Ks, social security, and other investment accounts, mature spouses often have more complex financial assets. After a divorce, the resources from previous retirement plans may simply not be there. When the majority of a divorcee's earning years are behind them, they must consider what it may take to rebuild adequate financial savings and reevaluate retirement.
If you and your spouse are considering a divorce and would like to learn more about your options, contact Arizona Family Law Attorneys. We understand what you are going through and can help you and your spouse through the legal, social, and financial hurdles which lie ahead.

ABC issues news releases on the latest workforce, policy and industry issues, as well as construction-related economic data and trends. Commercial and industrial construction economic analyses include federal data on construction spending, employment, GDP and the Producer Price Index. Please note, ABC's news releases on state construction unemployment have been temporarily paused.
In addition, ABC produces the Construction Backlog Indicator, the only economic indicator that reflects the amount of work that will be performed by commercial and industrial construction contractors in the months ahead, and the Construction Confidence Index, a diffusion index that signals construction contractors' expectations for sales, profit margins and staffing levels. Methodology for both indicators can be found here. ABC construction economic releases are published according to this schedule.
News Releases
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12—Construction input prices decreased 0.5% in November and are down 1.1% year over year, according to an Associated Builders and Contractors analysis of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Producer Price Index data released today. Nonresidential construction input prices decreased 0.4% for the month and are down 1.0% since November 2018.

This site is all about planning a homestead in the Ozarks for the beginner and for those moving from another part of the world as we begin our journey of moving to the Ozarks. What is the climate like? Where are you able to homestead? Where are you not? We will be focusing on the Northwest Arkansas region. This area includes Benton and Madison county. Some of the cities/towns in the area includes Bella Vista, Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, Fayetteville, Hindsville, Huntsville and more.
Topics will include what you will need to think about when planning a homestead, finances, equipment, live stock, what to grow, recipes, natural remedies, nutrition, preparedness (food storage, home solar systems, drinking water well), homeschooling and faith. We will also be focusing on how you can make money off of your homestead. While location articles will focus more on the Ozarks, the skills and general homesteading knowledge can be used anywhere you choose to start your homestead.
Come join us on an exploration of the Ozarks and starting a homestead.

Do you need a rice cooker? Alright - here's a test. Are you a rice-oholic? Do you think rice is great for every meal and even better for a snack? Did you consider attending Rice University just to be able to wear a sweatshirt embroidered with the name of your favorite grain? If you said yes to all three counts (or maybe just two out of three), it sounds like a rice cooker is for you. Back in the day, cooking rice would have required impeccable focus and nearly constant attention. Now – with the help of technology, electricity, and just a tiny splash of magic – electric rice cookers have simplified preparing rice into a nearly effortless, push-button process. That being said, though seemingly straightforward in both name and function, not all rice cookers are created equal. Here are a few points worth pondering to help find the best rice cooker for you.
Features – It only take a few minutes of online shopping to realize a rice cooker may not always be as one-dimensional as you might expect. In the 21st century, these little babies can come with all sorts of exciting features. Simmering! Slow-cooking! Steaming! Singing! Well…maybe not singing, but you get the gist. Before you start shopping, assess your lifestyle and consider the role you'd like the appliance to play in your kitchen. Many models are priced based on their features. Do not overpay for features you may not use.
Size –Credit: Amazon Trivia question: You've just purchased a sweet 5-cup rice cooker. At its maximum capacity, how many cups does your rice cooker hold? If you said 5, you're absolutely right…maybe. It really depends on who is defining the term "cup". While a cup may be measured as 240 ml in America, in Japan it would only be measured at 200 ml. When shopping, check to see if the appliance was manufactured in Japan. If so, the capacity is most likely aligned with Japanese cups. This isn't a bad thing; it's just important to know and understand when choosing a size.
Credit: AmazonInner Cooking Pan - While it may not have been on your radar when you first started, the inner cooking pan is always on the mind of a discerning rice cooker enthusiast. There are several options for the interior pan. Modern folks go for stainless steel with a non-stick coating. Purists may opt for a pan made of either charcoal or clay. While the charcoal or clay options may require a tad bit more attention than the stainless steel, they are easier to clean after each use. True aficionados battle back and forth on which material yields a better end product. Our take: At the end of the day, it really just comes down to preference.
The Brown Rice Setting – If you're strictly a plain, white rice kind of guy, you can probably ignore this last section. But if you're the type of fellow who enjoys a dash of brown rice pizazz every once and a while, pay attention – this part's for you. Believe it or not, not all models are designed to cook both white and brown rice. Check all prospective appliances for a brown rice setting. If it doesn't offer this option on the display, it is most likely meant for white rice only.
Credit: AmazonAs late comedian Mitch Hedberg used to say, "Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something." If you are constantly craving thousands of tiny grain-based treats, or even just enjoy serving fresh cooked rice once and a while with a meal, a rice cooker may be a worthwhile addition to your kitchen arsenal. Enjoy your new appliance - we guarantee you'll be cooking rice with a rice cooker in no time! P.S. - Don't forget the chopsticks!

How to Configure Thunderbird to Work With Exchange
Many small businesses looking for a fast, lightweight and free email client opt to use Mozilla Thunderbird, from the developers of the Firefox browser. Thunderbird works with most popular mail server applications, including Microsoft Exchange. Before you can start checking your email, though, you must configure Thunderbird to work with Exchange. This procedure is fairly simple and is managed through Thunderbird's menus. You will need a few items of information from your mail administrator before you start: your username, password, domain, mail server name and address, port and SSL settings.
Launch Thunderbird, either from a desktop shortcut or the applications menu.
Click "Tools." Select "Account Settings" from the submenu.
Enter your name in the Name field; this can be your personal name or a nickname as you want it to appear in your business emails.
Type your full email address in the Email field and enter your password below. The password characters will be masked as you type.
Click "Continue." Thunderbird will apply your settings to the configuration file. Click the "Manual Config" button when it appears.
Configure the incoming mail options. Click the "Mail type" drop-down and select "IMAP" from the choices. In the Authentication drop-down, choose "Normal Password." Other items of information you will need here are your server hostname, port and SSL/TLS options. These will vary, depending on your mail network setup. If you are unsure about what to enter, ask your mail administrator.
Configure the outgoing mail options. On the SSL drop-down menu, select "STARTTLS" and choose "Normal Password" from the Authentication menu. Obtain the values to enter in the Server Hostname, Domain and Username fields from your mail administrator if you don't know them.
Click the "Advanced Config" button.
Click the "Outgoing Server" option on the options menu. Confirm that the mail server you entered in the earlier steps is set to the default server by clicking the "Default Server" button next to the server name.
Click "OK" to exit the Advanced menu, and click "OK" again to exit the Tools menu.

Grappling With Addiction
Felicia Sullivan is a self-described "author, foodie, rockstar" and she writes regularly on a wide variety of topics, including grappling with alcoholism after growing up with a cocaine-addicted mother. But her recent entry about addiction was moving and is worth the full read:
The urge to self-medicate and live a life anesthetized was that great. It consumes you, swallows you whole. And while I didn't need to go back to therapy, I just wanted someone to listen. I'd learn that your body isn't a box built to house an unlimited amount of sorrow. That one day the box would explode and it was unlikely that you could walk away, undamaged.
I'd learn that your body isn't a box built to house an unlimited amount of sorrow. Truer words have never been written, and yet so many people deny that they hold such sorrow. How did we come to believe that no matter what happens to us as children — innocent, simple children — or in our lives since, we were meant to simply bear it? That through alcohol, or drugs, or hopping from relationship to relationship, we can just keep the pain at bay, and the sorrow will fade.
Until we wake the next morning and experience it again anew.
Coming back to Felicia's entry, she goes on to talk about attending a "safe meeting," a support group meeting for alcoholics:
And then I was done with my share and I felt better. Someone in the room, 20 days sober after breaking a year and half of sobriety without AA, looked directly at me, said my name, and said she felt exactly as I did. I wasn't used to a stranger feeling as if they know me because I'm incredibly guarded. But then I had to face the fact that this person actually did know a big part of me, because this, an alcoholic trying to better her life, was who she was too. After, three women approached me and hugged me. I wasn't used to such affection and unconditional, unpanicked support, but I found I needed it. They gave me their numbers and encouraged me to call if I needed to talk, and they hoped I'd come back.
That's the power of a support group — helping us understand that we are not alone, that our experiences — while personal — are not necessarily unique, and that we're worth something. We're important too. No matter who we are, no matter what we're dealing with.
And while this support group occurred in a face-to-face setting, online support groups can have similar (if not different) helping power. There is so much power and value in human connections, it explains a large part of the popularity of online social networking, too.
Felicia Sullivan's entry is worth your time. And check out her book, too, if you want even more poignant insights about overcoming hardship (for instance, growing up with a cocaine-addicted mother), finding your way, life, denial and addiction, and so much more.
Read the full entry: addiction never goes away, it lies dormant…

Villa Bordoni, Chianti
For centuries the world has been in love with the Chianti Hills. Close to Florence and not far from Siena is the region's most famous town, Greve. High in its silent pine and cypress-covered hills, is a thoughtfully restored fifteenth-century villa. It has nine rooms, each named after the distant castle it faces. It has classic furnishings, ultra-modern baths, and charming common spaces. The lush gardens—one part formal Italian, the rest olive-filled rustic hillside—has many private corners on various levels, where you can dream away the hours. There is a hidden, tranquil pool, and a rare, romantic restaurant with excellent food, a wonderful wine cellar and perfect service. Not only do they offer classes in Tuscan cooking, but they even take you on truffle hunts (autumn). Then the chef prepares the truffles for you. Heaven.

How can I change the directory in SFTP?
The SFTP protocol (Secure File Transfer over SSH) is a protocol that has no relation to FTP -- other than the fact that both do file transfer (but so does HTTP, and nobody would confuse HTTP with FTP, nor would anyone ask how to change the directory in HTTP).
The confusion often arises because applications such as FileZilla will offer a UI that is the same for both SSH/SFTP and for FTP. When you "change the remote directory" in Filezilla w/ an SFTP server, FileZilla is not sending a "change directory" command to the SSH/SFTP server -- because none exists in that protocol and there is not "current working directory" for your session. In SFTP, your "current directory" is always the HOME directory of your SSH user account.
Let's say you "change the directory" in FileZilla to subdirA. What FileZilla does is to note that you are now logically "in subDirA", it will retrieve the directory listing for subdirA and display it for you. If you choose to download a file, such as "zebra.txt", what FileZilla really does is, noting that you are logically in subDirA and that the files you are currently viewing are from subDirA, it will send a request to download "subdirA/zebra.txt". Internally, FileZilla is concatenating what you see as your "current directory" with the filename you are choosing to upload or download.
You, as the application developer, are working with the SFTP protocol. Given that there is no state, meaning you are never "in a current directory", the filepaths you provide must be either relative from the HOME directory of the SSH user account, or an absolute filepath (meaning absolute from the root of the remote filesystem).
As far as I know, the SFTP protocol doesn't have any notion of a "current directory". You always need full paths.

Cat IncrediBubbles™ don't pop when they touch the ground! Not your average Bubbles! They're catnip infused!
Once they reach the ground, the bubbles will remain un-popped for a while. For the best results blow the bubbles as high in the air as possible and use your hands to wave the bubbles in the air for a moment. The more seconds they float in the air, the lighter and more durable they become. Bubbles dry in the air, and land on the ground intact, waiting to be attacked by your cat. (They will eventually pop.)
IncrediBubbles have thousands of bubbles that last for hours, giving you the perfect way to spend quality time with your favorite feline.
Check out these Great Benefits:
- ✓ Safe for pets and even kids too! Fun for the whole family to enjoy.
- ✓ Non-toxic formula. Catnip-infused.
- ✓ Since the bubbles dry in the air, they are more likely to land on the ground intact so your cat can chase and catch them.
- ✓ Helps establish and form a healthy bond with your cat.
- ✓ Tamper-resistant blister card packaging.
Use on flooring other than carpeting. Bubbles can be sticky and sometimes leave a white non-staining residue after being popped. The white film can just be easily wiped away with your hand or damp cloth.
Buy two and SAVE!!! Click the arrow for a drop down menu and choose two Incredibubbles for savings!

Hi hive!
It's been a while and I've missed you greatly. After a whirlwind two months off, I return with tales to tell, but most of all, recaps to recapitulate!
To those who don't know who I am, hi, I'm Mrs Bighorn Sheep, an Australian who got married to a Kiwi (a person from New Zealand). My darling husband, Mr Big, and I got married at the Hunter Valley, a region two hours north of Sydney, New South Wales. We had our ceremony in a beautiful garden followed by a reception at a winery.
My husband (then fiancé) proposed to me in New Zealand at one of our favourite spots, Milford Sound, underneath a waterfall. During the planning of our wedding, I realised there wasn't theme. Instead, we incorporated geeky elements with Chinese traditions, including a Chinese Tea Ceremony. I even managed to mix the Asian-flair with geek-chic by DIY'ing Kaylee's parasol from the sci-fi TV show Firefly! Because of these Chinese traditions we couldn't have a First Look, but instead would be doing an "Anti-First Look". We also managed to incorporate bubbles,, things from Ikea, and even high-fives!
My dress and veil were custom-made by an Australian designer, my bridesmaids' dresses and the groomsmen shirts were ordered online, and the groom and groomsmen bought their suits locally. I wanted to ensure Mr Big kept his beard and glasses for the wedding, I had some trouble with my hair, and I complained about my stupid skin.
Our photographers were the bomb, our videographers were the shiz, and we generally loved our vendors. Some of our vendors were friendors! Our engagement photo shoot was done in Christchurch, New Zealand, where Mr Big was born and raised.
Our engagement stop-motion video! / Stopmotion and photographs by Studio Something.
When we got married, Mr Big cried and it was an amazing (but hot and sometimes stressful) day. I shared with you our Same Day Edit from our wonderful videographers, and some pre-wedding things including: delegating tasks and our wonderful friends who helped us out on the day; stuffing all that we possibly could into cars; the crapton of crap we had to do before the day; the rehearsal and the welcome dinner (also known as the meat after-party); and finally, spending some time with my girls.
Finally, the girls got pretty and the guys got ready!
And we're caught up! Next, the former-Miss Big puts on her bridal finery! Let's get this party (re-)started guys!
TL;DR? Catch up here!
- Laugh, weep, and celebrate with us by watching our wedding video.
- I am a delegating ninja! (I'm really not.)
- We have a "nice" morning of Car-Tetris fun!
- I tell you guys about the frenzy that is the lead-up to our wedding day.
- We practice walking and talking.
- We eat a loooooot of meat.
- I celebrate my last night as a Miss.
- I talk to you about a major wedding regret.
- The girls get their pretty on.
- The guys clean up nicely.

My grandfather overcame testicular cancer late in life. He was a casual fan of cycling before I ever got into the sport (thanks to GL's publicity during his TdF runs). He read one of the ghostwritten Armstrong books, and certainly looked to Armstrong for inspiration.onefastgear said:As a doctor, I have seen Lance's influence on patients confronted with a cancer diagnosis. Lying in the anaesthetic bay scared about what's going to confront them on the other side of the operation. They'll have read a Lance quote or even a book, and they hope. No way I'm taking that from them.
When my grandfather asked me point blank about Armstrong and doping (in mid-2007), I replied that all signs were pointing toward confirmation. With that, my grandfather tossed the book and never mentioned him again. He completed his chemo treatments with the realization that hope comes from within.
Is false hope equivalent with real hope? That's an individual decision. I'd like to think my grandfather made the correct and healthy decision to discontinue his use of a purveyor of false hope as a beacon for his own recovery.
I equate your rationalization with letting an individual practice homeopathy because it "does no harm". The tangible harm is that you're letting someone believe in fairy tales, and as a society we can do better than that.

North of Namirembe is Uganda's oldest and East African's most prestigious university; the Makerere University built on Makerere hill. It is one of the seven major hills on which Kampala is built. The hill is located in kawempe division north of the kampala the city center.
In the past centuries, this hill was known as Bwaise. But one day, a Buganda king stayed a night out with a woman and forgot to go back to his palace in Mengo at night. When he realized that dawn had come while still in the concubine's place, he exclaimed by saying; "Ganno makerere", meaning 'it has dawned without my realization.' From then onwards, that is how the hill received its name.
Overlooking Makerere hill is Mulago hill the national referral hospital. And finally Kibuli hill on which the first Muslim preacher settled in the 19th century now the Kibuli mosque proudly occupies the hill along with a primary and secondary school and a commendable hospital that helps save the lives of many Ugandans.
Like other hills, it is occupied by an educational institution, the first public university in Uganda which is an important landmark to the people of Uganda. The Makerere hill stands at 4,188 feet above sea level and refered to as 'fountain of knowledge'. This is because the university is located on this hill which was started in 1922. The down part is Wandegeya shopping centre with drinking and partying going on up to late hours of the night being occupied by youth university students.
In addition to the above, The University, the first and the best has produced some of Africa's best leaders like President Benjamin Mkapa, Julius Nyerere, Mwai Kibaki, Joseph Kabila, Julius Nyrere, writers like Ali Muzrui, Peter Nazareth, Mahmood Mamdani, Paul Theroux, Yasmin Alibhai brown, Ngugi was Thiongo, John Ruganda, David Rubadiri among others and other important personalities like Amama Mbabazi, Janet Museveni to mention but a few.
The University which was founded in 1922 can be accessed via the main gate on Makerere hill road 200m west of Wandegeya. The land to which the university is found is attributed to Nsibirwa, who was by then the Katikiro of Buganda that he convinced the Buganda parliament during the resistance to give the land to the colonial government. Today a university hall is named after him due to his contribution. The university was first established as a technical institute and later became the University of East Africa. In 1963 Makerere University became the University of East Africa with degrees that add up to a degree in the University of London and its students were considered as graduates of the British institution in 1970. Makerere University became an independent University of the Republic of Uganda.

It seems like Valve is hitting on some unexpected obstacles with its sequel to last year's smash zombie hit, Left 4 Dead. Although they must have expected it, since every one of their games has featured huge differences between "1" and "2," as well as expansions (free or paid) that were worth the money. Left 4 Dead 2 seems to be little more than a medium-sized expansion for the original, and its billing as a full-fledged sequel is baffling to Valve's loyal fan base.
This interview with Valve's Doug Lombardi offers him a chance to explain what's going on, and also to address the possibility of cross-game play.
I played Left 4 Dead 2 at E3, and while it was certainly fun, it was far from the level of improvement we've come to expect from a Valve sequel. The improvements are there, but 20 new weapons? What? The guns I used were new models for the old weapons. And the melee weapons, while fun, are limited in use because they don't allow for headshots (that I know of), a critical trash-talking point. But this isn't the place for that.
Lombardi says of cross-platform play:
That's something that we're trying to work out right now, the details of it. So nothing specific to say today, but we understand that it's a very valid thing to be working on and looking at.
Not exactly forthcoming, but at least he didn't say "No, we made a game and we're stickin' to it." I'm not sure how they could enable cross-platform play without making a purchase of one or the other pointless, but I guess we'll find out soon.
It takes a big man to admit he's wrong, and Valve is… well, getting there. This is really their first mistake if you think about it, so it may take a bit for them to set it right.

Steve Davis happy to see Leyton Orient finally keep it clean in FA Cup at Dagenham & Redbridge
PUBLISHED: 15:00 16 October 2017
©TGS Photo tgsphoto.co.uk +44 1376 553468
The O's couldn't break down their east London rivals, but importantly managed to not concede for the first time since August 28
Steve Davis was pleased to see Leyton Orient's hard work on the training ground pay off in the FA Cup on Saturday.
The O's managed to keep their first clean sheet in eight games and hold local rivals Dagenham & Redbridge to a goalless draw in the fourth qualifying round of the old competition.
Orient lined up in a 3-5-2 formation again – like they did at Barrow the previous weekend – and Davis said: "All we have worked on has been defending, so we are trying to get that right and build from clean sheets upwards.
"I always think we'll get a chance, but the last five or six games I've also always felt we were going to concede.
"The different (personnel) changes we have made to the back four or five have been disruptive, but we need to try and build relationships at the back in training every day."
Davis continued: "We have done a lot of work on just defending this week and it showed. We spent three days and six sessions on just defending our shape in the back five and the rest of the team.
"The good thing is there were signs it paid off in terms of us being tighter and not allowing them many chances."
Dagenham matched up Orient by also playing five in defence and Davis admitted it wasn't what they expected.
The Daggers have mainly fielded a 4-2-3-1 this season and earned success with them sitting sixth in the table and only five points off leaders Macclesfield Town.
"I was a little bit surprised and then we looked at the team an hour before and thought they might play a little bit different," said Davis.
"We had a few possibilities and saw them warm up with a four (at the back) and a three, so we weren't sure which way they were going to go.
"I had looked at their last few performances and I'm not sure if John (Still) was happy with them or not, but he went for a change like we did.
"You do have to get used to it and it is hard to make changes. That system there is a lot of handing over, so I was a bit surprised we almost matched them in terms of player for player and I thought we came out on top in a lot of positions."

Silhouette crafting is everywhere. Apparently it is quite "in vogue" right now, and I must admit that I have caught the bug too. I bought this one for Dad for Christmas. And I am coveting all these … as well as these. It is certainly a classic art form, but has gained a recent upsurge in popularity.
There are plenty of books written on the subject too. And I am likely going to purchase a few within the next year. I hope to inspire some of my own creativity by adding some silhouettes to my sewing / quilting. (You may remember when my girlfriend created this gorgeous silhouette of her daughter — on a sweatshirt!).
Apparently, it is a tradition of sorts to have your silhouettes crafted on paper at the Magic Kingdom. Halis has several from his youth … and I have seen many DisneyWorld framed silhouettes grace the walls of various homes throughout the years. So, during our recent Disney vacation, I was excited to have our family silhouette created by a Magic Kingdom cast member.
Here is Halis's pose for the artist …
And here is the outcome …
It took alot of candy to have Isaac sit still long enough.
I am really enjoying the beauty of this timeless portrait — and am feeling as though I have just taken part in a classic American tradition that I somehow missed as a child. Looking at the new family portrait makes me smile … and also makes me wonder if and when we will be adding more little babes to our family. I am hoping soon.
Enjoy the weekend!
P.S. Meaghan also had hers done as well. It is very sweet & I hope she will treasure it always 🙂

The authors include risk and hazard researchers from the major U.S. hazard and earthquake centers and some from abroad as well as programmers and analysts from leading insurance and risk assessment firms. The introductory chapter provides an historical overview of the rise of risk assessment in the U.S., with particular emphasis on the role of seismic risk assessment. Four key components of risk assessment and decision support software are analyzed in detail in the remaining papers: treatment of uncertainty, loss assessment, modeling of seismic mitigation strategies, and visualization of risk and uncertainty. The volume lays out a road map for future developments in risk modeling and decision support and positions earthquake engineering research within the family of risk analysis tools and techniques.

Randy W. Ball / MiG Pilot, is North Americas Premier Jet Demonstration
Pilot. Randy has performed well over 1,000 performances to date! No other North American Jet
Demo pilot even comes close to that number of performances. In fact, Randy is the only Jet Demo
pilot (military or civilian) to be granted both a day and night unlimited aerobatic rating in jet fighters
by the FAA. He has flown over 42 different types of aircraft, manufactured in nine countries.
As a youngster Randys father took him flying occasionally, and he spent countless hours with
one of his heroes, his Great Uncle Gilbert Ball, who flew 56 missions over Europe flying the B-17
Flying Fortress. Even before college, Randy knew he wanted to fly. By the time he was 13 years
old, he had already taken off and landed a plane with his father and soloed at the age of 18. Randy
volunteered to work in his first air show in 1982 and flew in his first air show more than 26 years
ago. He now performs throughout North America, from Canada to Mexico.

Iraq's President Jalal Talabani says deposed leader Saddam Hussein has confessed to committing crimes during his reign.
The president's comments came Tuesday during an interview with Iraqi television.
Saddam Hussein is set to go on trial on October 19, along with several aides. The first prosecution will focus on the 1982 massacre in the town of Dujail, where more than 140 Shi'ite Muslims were killed in alleged retaliation for a failed plot to kill Saddam.
In other developments Tuesday, the U.S. military in Iraq says American warplanes have bombed two bridges in western al-Anbar province, to stop insurgents from using them to move fighters and equipment to other cities for attacks.
The air strikes near the Syrian border did not destroy the Euphrates River bridges, but made them inoperable. No casualties were reported.
Elsewhere, in the southern Shi'ite holy city of Najaf, U.S. forces handed over military control of the city to Iraqi forces.
Some information for this report provided by AP, Reuters.

Elephants at Commerford Zoo at center of lawsuit; group contends they are unlawfully imprisoned
GOSHEN — How much weight do you give the world view of an elephant?
That is the central question in a lawsuit filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project at Superior Court in Torrington this week.
The Florida-based organization is seeking a writ of habeas corpus to free three elephants, Beulah, Karen, and Minnie — who live at the Commerford Zoo in Goshen — arguing that, considering their cognitive abilities and sense of self, the animals should be considered autonomous beings and thus legal persons who cannot be detained under the law.
Studies show that elephants are able to remember the past, live in the present, and plan for the future, NhRP President Steven Wise said.
The petition provides an overview of research into the herbivores' world view, pointing to a series of abilities possessed by elephants, including the ability to plan, communicate, have an awareness of self and of others, solve problems, understand causation, and pass down knowledge. The group cites these as examples of the mammals' "complex cognitive abilities sufficient for common law personhood and the common law right to bodily liberty, as a matter of common law liberty, equality, or both under Connecticut common law."
But Tim Commerford, co-owner of the Commerford Zoo, said the suit is "preposterous" and "far-fetched."
He said the elephants were intelligent, as all animals are in their own way, but contended the suit was intended to raise money for the organization. He said they should work toward other causes, such as the Torrington Animal Shelter, the poaching of elephants, or preservation of the species.
"This is a ploy for money, I believe, on the Nonhuman Rights part, (and for) media attention. I believe that they're drawing money for probably other things, because, I mean, this is crazy," said Commerford.
Wise, however, said the Connecticut courts seemed to be an appropriate venue for this legal theory to be considered, as the state judiciary has a historic regard for protecting autonomy and the importance of habeas corpus. "a safeguard against imprisonment of those held in violation of the law," according to Cornell University.
Given this, Wise said, the theory, while novel, does not represent a significant intellectual leap.
"We argue that, using those principles, then all they have to do is apply it to other beings who are autonomous. And the elephants are autonomous, and we carefully prove that through the experts," said Wise. "The only strange thing is they're not human beings. But the law, and the values, that they apply every day apply fully to the elephants."
The Nonhuman Rights Project had been considering the status of the elephants at the Commerford Zoo for three to four years, Wise said.
"I think they're keeping them prisoner, and if they cared about the elephants, they would stop trucking them around the Northeast and stop making them spend their lives walking around in circles with people sitting on their back," said Wise. "The lives that Beulah and Minnie and Karen live in Goshen have nothing whatsoever to do with the natural lives of a wild elephant. They are simply prisoners there. ... None of what makes an elephant's life worth living for is present at the Commerford Zoo."
Commerford said the elephants have been in their care for decades. The elephants are on the road approximately 60 days each, Commerford said, and spend the rest of their time on the 40-odd acre farm in Goshen.
The family did not capture the elephants, he said — his father was intrigued by them, and a business grew up around them.
The elephants are appropriately cared for, Commerford said. Farm veterinarians look at them regularly.
"If I don't see them on a daily basis, I'm thinking about them, because I grew up with them all my life. They're family. The animal activists can say what they want about it, but they're part of our family," said Commerford. "They're physically fit. They're in perfect health."
The Nonhuman Rights Project noted past complaints against the Commerford Zoo on its website, although not as the basis for the suit. Commerford said that these violations are minor and infrequent, and the zoo does not treat animals inhumanely.
If the suit were successful, Beulah, Minnie, and Karen would be brought to the Performing Animal Welfare Society Sanctuary in California, which would allow them to live a semblance of their natural lives, Wise said. The judge is required to issue the writ unless they determine that the case is wholly frivolous or the court does not have jurisdiction, Wise said.
According to the organization's website, the sanctuary includes elephant habitats that "provide the elephants with acres of varied natural terrain to roam, lakes to bathe in, and state-of-the-art elephant barns equipped with heated stalls and... (an) indoor therapeutic pool."
"At PAWS sanctuaries, rescued animals live in peaceful and natural habitats, free from fear, chains, and harsh confinement," according to the organization.
"They are at complete liberty to act out natural behaviors in the comfort of their individually designed enclosures. PAWS animals are not bred, traded, sold, rented or forced to perform in any way."
Commerford said the elephants would not know what to do in such a situation, and would not thrive — they want and are accustomed to human companionship. He said, under his family's thinking, the elephants would be retired to the farm.
"They're going to stay right here on the farm in Goshen, and we're going to take care of them and provide for them like we have the last 30, 45 years, and support them," said Commerford.
Wise has taught animal- rights law at a series of universities, including Harvard and Stanford. He founded the Nonhuman Rights Project in 1996, and now works both in the United States and internationally to pursue this legal theory.
The group also is engaged in legal proceedings in New York courts in an effort to free chimpanzees.
According to its petition, Argentine courts granted a writ of habeas corpus to free a chimpanzee on two occasions.
The group also points to other examples in which non-human actors were recognized as legal persons and the evolution of past precedent regarding legal personhood, including enslaved people and the rights of Native Americans, in its petition.
Shaquana Chaneyfield, also of Nonhuman Rights Project, said Monday in a statement that President Trump's "ecision to hold off on removing an Obama-era ban on elephant trophies is a testament to the power of the people, who overwhelmingly opposed this cruel change in U.S. policy."
"The near-universal outrage is a heartening sign that Americans are tired of animals being treated like things, which is at the heart of the lawsuit we filed on behalf of three captive elephants in Connecticut," Chaneyfield said in the statement.

I was six months pregnant and watching the "Price is Right" when Johnny Olson said, "Lisa Hanson, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price Is Right!"
I laid on the couch and wondered what she'd do with a grandfather clock. She was 19, going to school, and I doubted she lived in a place that could accommodate something so big.
'Where will I put it?'
I thought about Lisa and the clock and started planning.
|This is us arm wrestling. Clearly I didn't win.
What if we broke up, I asked. He assured me he'd give her back to me. Can we get that in writing, I asked. He laughed. I was serious.
|Me after 30 minutes. I was dripping stinky sweaty.

TITLE: The Race to Commitment
By Sheila Mills
The Race to Commitment-Get Ready, Get Set, and Go!
True commitment to our destined purpose is a journey of life's mini-races, not an event. Each new day is an invitation to begin life's race from a freshly drawn starting line from which to run forward to embrace our moments of a destined future in Christ. The best part of the invitation is that unlike in a natural race competition, the spiritual race to commitment is non-competitive. God assures us in Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NIV) …. "the race is not to the swift…but time and chance happeneth to them all."The runner in the race to commitment must have a settled mind to faithfully follow that which he knows to be true.
True commitment requires a continuous attitude of "get ready, get set, and go" at each of our starting lines of life. Every individual's race to commitment must begin with the personal determination to finish the race before it actually begins. How is this possible? The race to commitment is a personal journey of discovering our starting point and visioning our destination before the first move. So how do you finish a race before it actually begins? Take a moment and picture yourself standing within inches of a race's starting line. At this moment, what is your most prominent thought? Finishing. Our Brother Paul witnesses the "finishing at the beginning" when he declares in Philippians 3:12-14 (NIV) " Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
We must remember that God created each of us as a "finished work" in the beginning of time. Each of us must embrace the set course that God destined for our lives. We must run our race to commitment with a determined purpose that He who began a good work in us will bring it to completion not to competition.
The race to commitment requires that we not only be prepared to run in our own lane but that we take a stand. The runner must take a firm stand at the starting line or not at all. Our taking a stand at the starting line of the race to commitment is the anchor that binds us to the finishing line. Get ready, get set, and go!

The Brewhouse Reopens After Fire
Local hotspot The Brewhouse, reopened Friday after four months of closing down due to an electrical fire.
Brewmaster and co-owner Pete Johnson kept busy to keep the beer's brewing during the closure at 229 W. Montecito Street and they're ready to kick off the three-day weekend in style with live performances. One, Two, Tree is scheduled to perform Friday evening, Kinsella Brothers on Saturday evening, and Stiff Pickle on Sunday afternoon.
The electrical fire started in April when a heat gun turned on in the middle of the night due to a faulty switch. Fire and smoke damaged the back bar, ceilings, and televisions. The total cost to repair all the damage was estimated to be around $350,000, reports KEYT News.
The local restaurant and brewing community chipped in by selling Brewhouse Beer, creating a donation fund, and even offering to temporarily hire employees until the re-opening.
The Brewhouse team is planning for a full holiday weekend celebration with many more events to come. For those who are wondering, yes, the weekend bottomless mimosa brunch is back.
