Graphic Design Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for Graphic Design professionals, students, and enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I will often try to find the source of an image using a reverse image search. TinEye used to be the best service available, but Google's Search By Image usually produces the better results. It is wise to check both, however. There have been a few instances where TinEye has been able to find an image for me when Google did not.
As a rule of thumb, I would never use an image if am unsure of its distribution license. This is especially true if you intend to monetize your web app.

motivated in part by a desire to leverage new technologies to increase the reach of alerts and warnings.4 As required under the WARN Act, the Commercial Mobile Service Alert Advisory Committee (CMSAAC) was established in late 2006 by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to engage stakeholders in the development of initial policy and procedures for one component of that national system—the use of cellular telephones for alerts. CMSAAC, composed of representatives from service providers, handset vendors, emergency personnel, and industry groups, issued its first report in 2007, defining CMAS's basic system architecture and establishing technical standards and operating procedures.5
Following the issuance of the CMSAAC report, the CMAS program was established within the Department of Homeland Security. The task of validating the CMSAAC recommendations was assigned to DHS's Science and Technology Directorate, along with an examination of related issues such as the state of knowledge about the likely public response to alerts and warnings on mobile devices. The workshop summarized in this report was convened as one element of DHS's examination of public response (see the statement of task for this study in Box P.1 in the Preface of this report).
Three types of alerts were defined by the WARN Act of 2006 for issuance by CMAS:
Presidential alerts, to be issued by the president when there is a national emergency or threat (note that a presidential alert, for which the Emergency Alert System [EAS] and its predecessors for communicating with the public in a national emergency were originally implemented, has never been issued);
Imminent threat alerts, to be issued when there is an immediate threat to people or property, such as a tornado; and
The use of multiple new technologies for alerts and warnings was initiated under Executive Order 13407: "Public Alert and Warning System," issued June 26, 2006. This executive order established the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS), which will serve as a modernization and integration of the nation's alert and warning infrastructure, of which CMAS will be one component.
The recommendations of the CMSAAC appear in its draft report: Commercial Mobile Service Alert Advisory Committee, Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Commercial Mobile Alert Service Architecture and Requirements, PMG-0035, FCC, Washington, D.C., 2007; and in FCC, "Notice of Proposed Rule Making on the Matter of Commercial Mobile Alert System," Public Safety Docket No. 07-287, 2008.

The European Space Agency is set to develop a new Earth-observing satellite that will map and monitor global forests.
The satellite, called BIOMASS, will provide an enhanced level of detail and understanding to the role forests play in the global carbon cycle and potential climate change.
Hank Shugart, W.W. Corcoran Professor of Environmental Sciences in the University of Virginia's College of Arts & Sciences, served on the scientific advisory committee that ultimately convinced the space agency to fund and develop the nearly $525 million satellite.
"BIOMASS will be a hugely important instrument for global environmental science research in the coming years," said Shugart "Its observations will be the basis of significant international environmental policy in the areas of carbon cycling and global warming,"
The satellite also will allow long-term monitoring of forest usage, such as deforestation or reforestation. The information would prove useful to international efforts to reduce carbon emissions from deforestation in rapidly developing countries.
BIOMASS will be the seventh addition to the European Space Agency's fleet of Earth Explorer satellites, three of which are in orbit, with the rest under development.
The satellite is planned for a 2020 launch.

Police investigating the theft of several items, including a television and power tools, from a residence near North 38th and Boyd streets in Omaha around 5 p.m. learned a gold SUV was seen leaving the area.
An officer remembered seeing people there and knew one of them drove a gold SUV, which was soon located at North 42nd Street and Crown Point Avenue, along with the suspects and the stolen items.
Thirty-five-year-old Casey Lopez and 30-year-old Raymond Vanvalkenburg were booked for burglary and 28-year-old Rusty Caddell was booked for possession of meth with intent to deliver.

Levenger Lap Desk
Great design lap desk!
My husband has had his Levenger lap desk for over a decade and uses it nearly every night. Now that my sons are grown, gone and professionals in their own right, they wanted a lap desk for nights they have to bring work home with them. There was no question which brand I would choose to buy. I knew that this product would last for years for them, just as it had their dad. Unbeatable quality, design, function, and style for the price! It's also pretty enough I dont even mind if it is left in the living room!
October 30, 2014
Very helpful product
The Levenger Lap Desk is a great addition to my Levenger products. Now I can sit in my recliner and write my short stories in comfort. Just need to find a good clip on light for it. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have the carry handle slot like the mini desk. With my arthritis, and the desk weighing nearly three pounds, trying to pick it up with my thumb and forefinger is a task. The desk really needs the carry slot cut into it for ease of carry.

My relaxation assistant
I had one years ago and misplaced it during a move. I reordered it and now have a third office, sitting on my deck relaxing while getting some work done or reading. I love it!!!
July 24, 2014
Great with tablet or laptop
For years I've considered purchasing this lap desk. I am so glad I finally did so! It is the perfect size for either my tablet (with bluetooth keyboard) or my laptop. There is still room for documents. It's stylish and functional!
July 24, 2014
Lap Desk Lessons
This is a great product, but a little thoughtfulness and research may help. The recliner or chair needs arms or rests long enough to support the desk. A large waist size as to how close you can pull the lap desk to you and still rest on the chair arms is also a consideration. Finally a 17inch laptop may be a little too large depending on the above factors. A 15 inch or small should be no problem.
July 24, 2014
Great for students
I ordered two of these for my kids who use it to study in their rooms either in a comfy chair or on their bed. They love them. Well made. Functional. Easy to store.
July 17, 2014
Well Designed
I have used the laptop desk for more than five years. It has served me well and love it. I cannot function efficiently without it. Worth having one around. Light weight and strong to support any laptop..
July 17, 2014
Love it!
The lap desk is great. I like how it rests on the arms of my chair. I had been using a tray with legs that hurt the insides of my chair. This is great, provides much more room and looks much nicer. I am very pleased with my purchase and have recommended this item to others.
July 10, 2014
I have used this lap desk everyday since it arrived. It fits great across my recliner and allows me enough room to have my laptop, a mouse and a legal pad. It allows me to sit in my living room with my wife and toddler son while I do my work at home (I am an attorney) instead of sitting alone in my home office. Also it is great because their is room for my son to sit with me with in in "our" lap and he can watch me work on Westlaw which for some odd reason he loves to do.
July 10, 2014
The best way to work
I like to use my laptop while sitting in my recliner. I've used standalone tables, but can't get them close enough. I've tried balancing the laptop on the arm of the chair, but that's precarious. I've even used a lap desk with a cushion back. It worked great, but got too hot on my lap. Finally I bit the bullet and bought this lap desk. It's perfect. Plenty of room, and the straps are perfect for tucking the cord under to secure it, or to hold any peripherals I have plugged in. It's a really high quality piece. I could smell the stain as I took it out of the box. I ordered the light cherry, and it is a beautiful, rich, color. I'm very happy with the purchase.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Acadiana purchased fishing rods for all of their members participating with a $2,000 grant from the Opelousas Elk's Lodge #1048. Each Boys & Girls Club member were paired with an Elk member to help them fish.
The members used live bait to make their catch. All Club members received a certificate for their participation and the opportunity to keep the fishing pole. The fish caught were cleaned and bagged to bring them home for dinner.
Trophies were given for categories such as the Biggest Catch, 3 Biggest Fish, Good Sportsmanship, Most Spirited Award and the Trash Fish Award.

The 404 log of sh404sef comes in handy and the rewriting and redirecting works as long as you have only a few extensions installed and ALL bring their own sh404 plugin. So it does not work e.g. with jDownloads or Akeeba Release System.
But the utter no go is the multilingual mess. Since 2011 they try to solve this bug of the missing "item associations" and as of today no solution in sight. In their forum threads they write "we are working on a solution" ... and then lock the thread and put "answered" in the heading.
Conclusion: works well on simple sites although it comes with a whopping price tag, stay away definitely for multilingual websites.
Hi Carin,
I have to say your review is very confusing. Usually I try to identify what the problem a user is facing and respond to that, but in this case, I can only see erroneous statements:
The most important to me maybe: sh404SEF has NEVER BEEN SOLD to anyone. I started this project at the end of 2006 and 7 1/2 years later it's me doing all design and development (aside from contributed translations). I don't know where you get that information, but it's not correct.
Next is sh404SEF plugins: having a custom sh404SEF is NOT required for any extension. sh404SEF happily uses any extension router.php file. Of course, having a custom sh404SEF plugin allows creating much better urls.
Then multilingual: maybe the most puzzling: in 2011, there was no "item associations" in Joomla. They were introduced in Joomla 3.0.2 in november 2012. When sh404SEF for J! 3.x was released, it worked fine with them, as with previously available menu item associations, and has been working fine since.
Again, not sure where you got that information.
Multilingual support is extremely important to me, actually that's the reason sh404SEF was started, when there was no SEF extension handling Joomfish, back in Joomla 1.0 times. I'm also developing Josetta for Joomla! M.L. sites
There are still some bumps in the code, like they dont have a language override system in place (they dont use the Joomla native language feature) which makes it (almost) impossible to have your own customised language strings. But they are working on it already.
Keep on rocking guys!
One flaw though: the minified css is put before the CSS of other modules and components, hence you cannot override their styles unless you use !important.
Thank you for your review Carin.
The most important characteristic of this plugin is that it puts the CSS code after all other extensions so you can override their styles. I use this tool in almost every website I make and I can be quite sure about that. I will explain some things below to make it clear. (You can also find the same instructions in the documentation.)
The easiest way to have your CSS after all other extensions is to use the plugin of Add Custom CSS and put it last in the order of the plugin list. If you enable the minification of the CSS, the CSS will be still last. The option for the minification of the CSS does not affect the place of the CSS.
If you use the module of Add Custom CSS then you have to know that your CSS will be placed before the CSS of the plugins because modules load before the plugins. Also you have to do something more in order your CSS to be placed last among the other modules. You have to select the module position that loads last among the other module positions of your template. This is not obvious, so you have to do tests and check the code each time. After you find the module position that loads last, put the Add Custom CSS module last in the order of the module order for the specific module position.
The use of the module is not so easy as the plugin but sometimes there are users who don't want to load CSS to every page of a website just to use it in one of them.
+ good documentation with tutorials
+ excellent support in the forum
+ very stable, almost no bugs and new known bugs are killed within hours
+ very good implemented, can handle a decent amount of content and still be speedy
+ very frequent updates and constant development
+ they listen to the user
+ easily extendible through custom fields
+ easily customisable through templates
+ this is a free extension!
- the carousel for the article presentation could need an update to be really responsive and offer some more options for the slide effects (for the presentation of Joomla core fields one can always use third party modules though!)
thank you for your review,
just would like to comment on speed
- FLEXIcontent will be slower than joomla if you have e.g. 20 articles in your site, e.g. if Joomla content component (excluding modules!! or other extra extensions that you have in a website) will need 0.1 seconds and FLEXIconent 0.2-0.25 seconds, that is 2-2.5 times slower but it is only 0.2 seconds
but FLEXIcontent frontend speed DOES NOT scale just good, it scales excellently for large sites 10,000+ or 50,000+ and is faster than Joomla despite the numerous features and configuration settings !! Same applies for backend items manager, high speed for large sites (NOTE: though the FACETED filter behavior is what can slow it down if you display many filters in FACETED-search mode)
- same thing about speed applies for our powerful content module, and about carousel template of module,
- and you are right it does not have the looks of other carousels and is partially responsive, but its biggest advantage is that it comes with a very powerful/highly configurable universal content module AND it is free !!
- installs fine
- the extension does not require url_fopen
- the front end look and feel out of the box is pretty good
- as long as one doesn't change anything it works more or less
- after getting familar with the unconventional back end it is easy to handle since there are not many features to manage
- support is quick, although not always helpful
- one gets a refund easily when asking a bit deeper about some major issues the software has, but that does not bring back the lost time
- the front end look and feel can not be changed easily and sometimes not at all since things like " | @" are hard coded into the core files without any surrounding elements so one can not even hide it with e.g. display:none, not to mention changig colour or font-size
- they even use line breaks for design purposes which is at first an embarressing rookie mistake and secondly requires the designer to fiddle around with negative margins, only chance to get around this in a decent way is to code template overrides - how many Joomla users have skills to do that? but at least it is possible
- no front end editing
- right now it does not work with https (hopefully they applied my fix in the next version)
- front and back end are very very buggy with the German language installed
- prior to purchase I aksed explicitly for a German translation, they said it is there but forgot to mention that the translation is incomplete and the backend falls apart
- its quite expensive for the features it offers compared to the freely available event managers
- it is in a late alpha status with not too small bugs but their marketing slogan states "bleeding edge" code ...
- Ohanah is an event registration extension hence obviously requires the website visitors to login which involves on many websites a SSL connection. But the "bleeding edge" coders simply forgot to test the extension with https ... at least the supprt can tell the customer where to digg into the core files of this extension to correct this bug
- the support forum is closed for non customers, one can not read the complaints of their customers prior to purchase
- instead of solving bugs the support reminds customers to stay calm and friendly, IMHO it is already very rude to take money for alpha versions
- customers are abused as testers
- right now it does not work with the Joomla standard editor CodeMirror
- the front end does not really adopt the template style, needs a fair amount of tweaking to blend in nicely
- the backend is utterly counter intitive
- emails to website customers are allways send in html mode, no option to send plain text
- no html editor for the html emails available, so you need to write html code into the email templates
- the backend does not use the Joomla controls and buttons which is very confusing and bad for usability
- the skills of the programmers are a bit dubious since they haven't got a clue what e.g. a "protocol independend link" is, I as a designer had to teach them how to solve their https bug with that
- the "feature request" section of their forum has more threads than the sections regarding other stuff ...
- they dont care about privacy, you can not have a nick name in the forum
- many HTML errors in front end and back end, even their own public demo throws 171 errors (in firebug)
- it is built on top of the nooku framework, which at first I thought is a good thing but now obviously isn't and maybe that is the reason for the buggy status
I din't expect Ohanah to be bugfree but I found around twenty bugs within two days past installation. After a while I just couldn't afford to spend more time on bug reports than actually getting my customers project to work. But do not expect any appology for the countless bugs you have to solve in that paid extension. They take your suggestions and time for granted and still cancel your account when ever they feel it suits them. And one more hint: Do not question their business practice or rise your tone to express your disappointment. They simply close your account with no announcement and your stuck in the middle of your project. It happend to me despite I never used any offensive language although direct wording and now Im in the Ohanah trap. I lost a good amount of reputation since my client trused me when recommending Ohanah for his website. Luckily this specific clint of mine is a tecky and after a look at the code he agreed to take Ohanah off in favour of a decently coded extension.
This experience brings the idea to one's mind that companies who offer commercial extensions should go through a certification process to protect Joomla users from wasting time and money. Unfortunately this is probably not manageable.
Hello carin,
we tried our best to help fix the issue you where having, and after you asked for a refund, we did it straight away, that's why you didn't have access to the support anymore as this is tight in with our sales system.
Anyway we went further trying to reach you out by email and updating you account so that even after being refunded you still have access to our support, but with no lack of answer from your side. We still there waiting to help you out so just get in touch on our support system, we are more then happy to help you out.
You pay a regular price of $26, yes twentysix! for a bunch of not easy to understand code lines. You expect at least the support would be brilliant at that price level - nope, on their forum I had to wait at least 3 days or a week for a reply. You expect excellent code with that price tag - nope, just messy. What about compatability and testing - nope, they weren't even aware of that their code breaks on PHP 5.3. What about communication - almost, they try and English might not be easy for Vietnamese people, but if they sell high price, they should be able to deliver "high price" as well.
My conclusion: I never again do business with that company.
I don't think you are a customer at our site. As you can see at our forum post, we reply within a day for all commercial extensions. So to make it clearly, please give us your username at our site, your forum post then people can check the truth

Probiotic enemas - should I attack my dysbiosis from behind?
Updated about 3 hours ago
Created October 10, 2012 at 6:50 PM
There's a fair amount of stuff on this site about incorporating probiotics into the diet to help with gastrointestinal issues (kefir, sauerkraut, supplements etc.).
However, there's issues about how many of the mirco-organisms actually make it through the upper digestive tract unscathed and whether they're a good idea for people with small bowel issues (e.g. SIBO). Ferments are also tough for people like me with histamine issues.
So, does anyone have any thoughts or experience of tackling digestive problems from the other end by using probiotic enemas?
Would you just use regular probiotic supplements mixed in sterilised water? Any ingredients to add or avoid (e.g. prebiotics)? Dosage?
Or is it all just a really bad idea?
Note: I'm not wanting to use an enema to help eliminate faecal matter or otherwise 'clean' the colon (my colon needs no encouragement in that department). It's simply to get the probiotics directly where they're wanted.
You may want to try some potato starch, too. If your bacteria are well-fed, they should never need replaced unless killed by antibiotics. It's hard to get enough prebiotics, but potato starch is cheap, easy, and very effective!
maybe try a store bought probiotic first. you can do a small amount by using a baby syringe- they are bulb-shaped. all you would do is mix the probiotic with a little bit of water or saline solution and suck it up into the syringe. i lubricated the tip with coconut oil to make it slide in easily
Thanks for letting me know your experience. Sorry to hear the enemas didn't help your ulcerative colitis. My worry is that I could have a similar experience to you. I don't have colitis but I don't want to make my symptoms worse.
Have considered a fecal implant but have no idea how to go about finding a suitable donor or whether it would actually do any good.
have you considered doing a fecal implant? that's on my bucket list (and probably no one else's).
Just do it. Natasha Campbell-McBride has a section in her book about probiotic enemas and a step-by-step guide on how to do it. If you can get the book in a library or something, you could just copy the guide.

I have done a lot of different enemas- VSL #3 enemas, Vit E enemas, Fecal transplant enemas.
I honestly found that none of them helped. I was doing them for my ulcerative colitis. The VSL enemas were a waste of money since it costs a fortune in the first place. Vit E enemas didn't do anything and the FT enemas made my symptoms 100x worse. Won't be doing that again. EVER!
Thanks for letting me know your experience. Sorry to hear the enemas didn't help your ulcerative colitis. My worry is that I could have a similar experience to you. I don't have colitis but I don't want to make my symptoms worse.

I've been dealing with some serious dysbiosis, candida, etc. myself. I did one probiotic enema after a colonic and it seems like it did a nice job. My question is how long to retain the enema. I thought initially to keep it in overnight until I went again in the morning, but my colon hydrotherapist recommended a half hour. Next time, I think I'll go longer.
I also used roughly a trillion CFUs by combining 3 probiotics. Ortho Molecular makes "Probiotic 225," which has 225 CFUs over 15 servings (~$50). I also used a probiotic from Klaire Labs and Primal Defense.
I strongly believe probiotic enemas are a good idea. You are guaranteeing the highest potency possible going directly to your colon.
Beyond the probiotic, I've had tremendous success using essential oils in my enemas. This is the only thing that has been effective in destroying unwanted biofilms in my gut. After doing the first, I pooped all sorts of stuff out. For several days after, things were speckled white -- what I understand to be candida. Since doing them I just feel normal. Crisp. Good.
If you do probiotic enemas, I think you should do ones with essential oils first for a couple weeks to get the bad guys out of the way. Here's what I do:
1. Wake up and have first bowel movement (sometimes I have two in the morning, so I'll wait a little before getting started with the enema)
2. Perform enema with only filtered water (including Fluoride) to get out any remaining fecal matter; about 16 ounces (I use this enema kit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EZ5XH2O/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ------ make sure it's silicone!)
3. Mix 5 (more or less for your comfort level) drops of 2 or 3 essential oils (list I have/use below) with quality salt (http://www.amazon.com/Premiere-Research-Labs-Premier-Pink/dp/B0042DARWM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394618433&sr=8-1&keywords=premier+research+labs+salt), maybe a TBSP or two of good Aloe-Vera juice and 4 cups of water. I combine these in a quart-sized glass jar so I can shake it up to mix.
4. Lay on your left side when performing the enema -- this will let the fluid go farther in your colon. For something like a coffee enema (where you don't want it going to far), you'd want to be on your right side.
5. I use coconut oil for lubricant...slide it in there and let it flow. It will tingle, but don't be alarmed.
6. I leave the liquid in there for at least 15 minutes. I feel wonderful after each time I do it -- a sort of well-rested feeling.
The oils I've used so far are Clove, Lemongrass, Thyme and Orange. They are all good (especially the first two) at handling biofilms. Something I've learned -- with much frustration -- is it doesn't matter what you do if the bad guys have constituted a biofilm. Getting rid of that and healing the lining of your gut are top priority.
I have many more oils, but the ones I plan on using are Rosemary, Lemon, and Cassia. I have Tea Tree and Oregano oils, but I'm nervous to use those as they are strong. I might just do it though.
If you do go this route, make sure your oils are therapeutic grade -- not all essential oils are created equal.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm just so happy I stumbled up this and I have to share.
Good luck with everything!
No need to go the backdoor route! Try this instead.
Buy a bag of unmodified potato starch. Bob's Red Mill sells it cheap and it's easy to find.
Mix 1-2TBS of this in with your yogurt or kefir, or just mix it with milk or any type smoothy and drink it down. After 2-3 weeks, start taking 3-4TBS/day. After 4-6 weeks, cut dose back to 1-2TBS/day if you like.
Raw potato starch is an excellent prebiotic. So excellent, in fact, that probiotic strains of lacto and bifido bacteria will adhere to it as soon as they see it and will pile themselves on it, giving them safe passage through the stomach and small intestine.
Another bonus is that when this resistant starch hits the large intestine, it will serve as food to probiotic bacteria that is already there.
Go here to see picture proof and a good explanation of it all:
Good luck!
I have had issues with Candida, dybiosis and also have histamine intolerance.
I have successfully managed it at times but one thing I could not seem to get right was a healthy level of good bacteria in my small intestine no matter how many probiotics I took.
I read an article from a gastroenterologist clinic here in Sydney www.ccd.com.au.They offer Faecal Microbiota Transplantation which made sense to me but it was at a cost of up to AUD $20,000 which I could not afford.I thought I would try probiotic enemas using some of the best probiotics on the market today.
I was so surprised with the outcome – after a week my health was remarkably better and in fact I had the best health I have experienced.
Over many years of Doctors, specialists, naturopaths, nutritionists, relentless and exhaustive research and trial and error it has become apparent that the probiotic enemas are a vital part of maintaining good health for someone with my complex health.I still have to manage my diet and stress levels but have 1 probiotic enema a month to maintain the flora and additionally take probiotics daily.
I hope this information is encouraging to you.
You may want to try some potato starch, too. If your bacteria are well-fed, they should never need replaced unless killed by antibiotics. It's hard to get enough prebiotics, but potato starch is cheap, easy, and very effective!

Apology to the Goat Boys
I believe that life should be lived vertically and in the moment but my beginners mind is still feeling guilt for leaving the goats that day and I have wanted to discuss this feel with them.
When I went out to the goat house this morning they rushed in thinking I was going to feed them but I told them that I wanted to tell them something.
This was the response...
"I've come to apologize." I said.
"Why Farmlady?"
"Because we did a terrible thing. We left you when the fire was here and I've felt so awful that I couldn't even talk about it before now."
I got a lump in my throat. My eyes got watery. "I just need to talk about it."
"It's not necessary Farmlady." They walked outside and away from me.
I went around to the fence...
He took his time...
"Are you going to feed us again. The Prospector already fed us this morning but we won't mind if you want to feed us too."
"I wasn't planning on giving you food, Murph'. I wanted to say something about why we left you last week, when the fire was so close."
Murph' looked up and me and said "OK."
"Well, I'm trying not to make excuses but the fire was very close. We needed to evacuate and it needed to be done fast. In those moments when these decisions were made, we thought that there would not be enough time to try and load all four of you into the back of the truck. We thought you would panic and we didn't have the right equipment to make this happen fast and efficiently. I'm so sorry we left you here. It breaks my heart to think what might have happen to you."
Murph' gave me that "magic goat" look and said, " But it didn't happen. The fire didn't come and what might have happen didn't. You are damaging the present by letting something that didn't happen, or could have happen, make you sad today."
I looked at Murph' and Freckles, who was standing there moving his head up and down in agreement.
Murph' continued...
"Farmlady, you don't have to apologize to anyone. The circumstances of that day were just what they were. No amount of feeling bad will change what happen and what you did in response was what you needed to do. We are fine."
I looked into those amber eyes.
There was no animosity.... no what if. No anger.
There was only NOW.
"Do you have any food for us?", Murphy asked again.
Bart walked over when he heard the word 'food'.
Brownie kept his distance and then started walking toward us.
I rubbed each head and each beautiful ear.
"I'm so glad that you are OK."
"I'm trying to live in the moment but the flames of the fire come back to haunt me. The "what ifs" worm their way into my thoughts. I watch for plumes of smoke on the road below and constantly look out the windows checking for fire.
I can't answer questions about why we didn't do something to save the goats. Why we didn't open the gates. Why we left them. I can only say what we did in that moment of stark fear. There were no choices that we could make at the time.
My heart is still sad even though everything turned out all right.
So, I listened to Murphy... the small voice in my head that carries the commentary that constantly speaks to me... that makes up stories... that gives words to all the creatures in my life. This never goes away.
I could hear the small noises of satisfaction and the munching of the hay in their mouths. Murphy pulled a bunch of hay to the ground and ate from it. None of the others bothered him.
And this human being knows that her life without these animals would not be what is it... a joy.
I still apologize to them. I still think about the "what ifs". I still think that the circumstances could have been so different and horrible but.... I can't stay in that place anymore. I need to move on.
My shadow will be gone from this place someday...

I can well imagine how you've been feeling, but those sweet goats don't have a clue what happened, nor are they aware of the terrible choice you were required to make in that instance... No judgment, anywhere. Enjoy them being in your life and let that bad dream go. Now.
You're a very cool lady and I'm so glad we've "met."

Instead of your going to the dogs, you have gone to the goats. Great presentation.

Murphy is wise beyond his years. He knows how lucky he is to have you and the Prospector in his life. Peace to you.

Oh my gosh, you were TRAUMATIZED to the bone. Of course you were paralyzed with fear, but LEARN GOAT WISDOM. Stop flogging yourself and worrying about what could have happened. Thank goodness it didn't and you are all fine. But yes, in California I constantly worry about fires. I remember waking up at 5 A.M. because I smelled smoke. I saw a line of flames advancing down the hill and I thought, "this is IT."
Sending love and cool, foggy breezes your way,

I am so sorry to hear that there was a fire, that it could have been devastating. My thoughts are with you. Your goats, they forgive you, no regrets.
Cheers to you, my friend.

i think the goats will forgive you...we never know how we will act under pressure until it happens...it is ok to reflect but dont beat yourself up...and if it happens again you know better how to handle it...

I'm glad you talked about that.
However, the goats accept whatever happens.

1. You were scared silly
2. You did the best you could with the information at hand.
3. Nothing bad happened. God took care of your goats. Sometimes we have to let Him handle things that are too big for us.
4. You are wiser now and will no doubt devise a plan for future emergencies which will include the goats.
5. You are human. This is how we learn, by falling forward.
6. Your goats still love you and so do we. That's all that matters.
7. Accept unconditional love; and give it to yourself.
8. End of lecture.

You know Farmlady, I get you
sure we want to live in the moment
but we are spiritual beings, loving beings
we have outward lives and loves
I would have gone to confession too
Goat absolution, that's what you got
now go and sin no more...until the next time
grace is always there

That is one wise goat. Someone needs to listen to his voice.
xo, Cheryl
(great post!)

That darling Murphy is an extremely perspicacious goat. LISTEN TO HIM! ~Dawn

there is a terrifying gap between vision and reality. In the eyes of the universe, both hold the same weight. When you admit to your fears and the things that you know you did wrong, you give us all a gift! I'll bet your fears will never stand in your way again.
And P.S. - your goats love you

I love that you can "hear" & understand what your animals communicate to you. I am trying to become more skilled at this. Your goats understood everything at the time of the fire and again when you came to them to apologize. They get it.

Thanks for this post. I'm sure that Murphy doesn't hold anything against you. But it did make me realize that I really ought to have an emergency evacuation plan for our critters.
