In 1897 the sisters of the Bond family of East Lyme initiated what was to be their long association with the East Lyme Library establishment. It was that year that Mrs. F.H. Dart (Maria Bond) and several other women in the community created the Niantic Library and Reading Room Association for the citizens of East Lyme. Enthusiasm for the effort swelled causing the Library to outgrow its space six times before finally settling into a permanent structure on Main Street in 1920. When the organization fell on hard economic times, Maria and her sister, Ann, stepped up to the plate and volunteered to serve as unpaid librarians. This arrangement endured for 55 years. Maria was the first librarian with Ann serving as Secretary of the Association and, subsequently, as Maria's assistant. Annie, as she was known to many, later assumed the principal librarian position, which she filled for the next 47 years. Maude, a younger sister, soon joined the library operations. Stephen, another member of the Bond family, served on the Association's Board and donated the land and a significant amount of the building materials that were used to construct the Main Street facility. Annie and the remainder of the Bond family certainly stood out as major driving forces for the establishment and preservation of the Niantic Public Library. In 2003, the East Lyme Library Foundation established the Annie Bond Society in recognition of the family's efforts. The Society will serve as a conduit through which interested members of the community can contribute to the Foundation. With a donation of $2000 or more, an individual joins the Society. This gift can be a one-time contribution or can be the sum of multiple gifts over years. Membership can also be gained by signing a letter of intent for a gift of the above amount via a bequest, trust or other charitable vehicle.

The shortlisted artists were nominated by a group of over 100 photography industry leaders. The winner will be chosen by a six-person jury.

Ken Wahl was an acclaimed actor in film and television in the late 70's and 80's winning an Golden Globe Award for The Wiseguy. Now he is offering his coveted award as a reward for finding the culprit who glue a 7 month old kitten to a Minnesota Highway.
The kitten, named "Timothy" by rescuers died several days after being found by a woman driving to on Hwy 60 just west of Mankato.
According to the Associated Press, Wahl said he offered the award he won for the TV show "Wiseguys" because he was appalled by the animal abuse and worried that whoever did it could be dangerous.
"A lot of people think it's just a cat, it's no big deal, but the thing is, remember, this is how Jeffrey Dahmer started," Wahl said in a telephone interview to the Associated Press,from his Southern California home, referring to the infamous Milwaukee serial killer who had tortured animals as a child.
Although he donated money to the now $12,000 reward, Wahl wanted bring more attention saying "It's certainly easy enough to write a check, but to give something of yourself that's a symbol of your accomplishment, is something I thought would catch people's attention more,"
In todays world when many of Hollywood's elite are going off the deep end, praise goes to Mr Wahl for stepping up and giving more than expected.

Rare summer thunderstorms roll through county
More than 1,000 customers lost power at one point
SAN DIEGO - Thunderstorms continue to threaten northern San Diego County Sunday and the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for the rural area near Palomar Mountain as county residents dry off from rare summer showers that drenched the coastline.
"It was just all of a sudden someone turned on the shower or threw a bucket of water over our heads … it was just a downpour," said George Sharp, who was out walking with his dog. "Roo doesn't seem to mind it. She got groomed yesterday,so that kind of went by the wayside."
The NWS issued a flash flood warning shortly before 2:45 p.m. that lasts until 5:45 p.m. for the area near Palomar Mountain, where nearby Sunshine Summit received four tenths of an inch of rain in 10 minutes. The CHP reported that State Route 79 was closed in both directions at mile marker 46.5 for flooding.
It was the second flash flood warning the county received Sunday following a warning this morning that said flooding was possible from Camp Pendleton to San Ysidro.
As the storms rolled slowly through San Diego County drifting to the northwest, "Thirty lightning strikes were detected over and off the coast, with a gauge in Del Mar picking up .57 inches of rain," the NWS reported. Solana Beach received .29 inches and Mission Beach received .15-inches.
The sound of thunder and flashes of lighting rattled several Clairemont residents after lightning struck a palm tree in their neighborhood.
"All of a sudden, it was just a loud pop and real bright and it kind of scared me and I kind of stood up and stood back," said a neighbor.
Parts of the tree burned and fell on the ground. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
According to SDG&E, the storms knocked out power in at least five locations including Ocean Beach, Encinitas, Logan Heights, Torrey Pines and Mission Valley that left more than 1,000 customers without power.
The NWS reported cloud-to-ground lightning within five miles of Lindbergh Field that triggered lightning warnings for the airport, though a spokesperson at Lindbergh Field said flights were unaffected.
The isolated thunderstorms continued until about noon Sunday and left behind small pockets of flooding.
CHP reported flooding in the right-hand lanes of northbound Interstate 805 approaching Interstate 5 near Carmel Valley. Social media users posted pictures which appeared to show flooding on surface streets including North
Torrey Pines Road near the Torrey Pines Golf Course, Genesee Ave south of Centurion Square near University City High School and the 400 block of Santa Fe Drive approaching the I-5 onramp near the Vons shopping center.
Drivers had to inch through the intersection of Carmel Mountain and Sorrento Valley roads after standing water caused some flooding.

Texas Department of Public Safety troopers have arrested two Arkansas men after finding narcotics in their pickup, authorities said.
Luis H. Hermosilla, 37, of Green Forest, and Irza Arrizon, 38, of Berryville, were eastbound in a 2003 Dodge pickup on Interstate 40 in Carson County about 5:50 p.m. Saturday, when they were pulled over for a traffic violation, authorities said.
Troopers found two bundles containing 4.5 pounds of methamphetamine, valued at $54,341, concealed in the vehicle, DPS said. The men were booked into the Carson County jail. They have been arraigned, and bond was set at $40,000 for each man, authorities said.

Dec. 6, 2012
STANFORD, Calif. - Senior TE Zach Ertz was named today to the 2012 Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America Team, the nation's oldest All-America team now in its 123rd year. The honor was announced this evening on The Home Depot ESPN College Football Awards Show.
Ertz leads all FBS tight ends with 66 receptions for 837 yards, both of which are Stanford tight end records. The 6-foot-6 senior paced the Cardinal in receiving seven games this season.
Among his six touchdown receptions this season, Ertz caught two game-winners against No. 2 USC and No. 13 Oregon State. His game-tying touchdown sent Stanford to overtime in the win at No. 1 Oregon, on an evening with a career-high 11 catches.
Stanford has had five First-Team Walter Camp All-Americans the past four seasons. Ertz joins David DeCastro (2011), Toby Gerhart (2009), Andrew Luck (2011) and Jonathan Martin (2011) of late. Chris Owusu also was named to the Second Team in 2009.
The Walter Camp All-America team is selected by the head coaches and sports information directors of the 124 Football Bowl Subdivision schools.
Walter Camp, "The Father of American football," first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp - who was Stanford's first football coach in 1892 - is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation (www.waltercamp.org) - a New Haven-based all-volunteer group - was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team.

A couple of months ago i was riding my arabxcob leo in his field, Bareback. He had his bridle on and i was wearing my hat like i normally do. But he walked into his shelter before he decided to talk out. But he got spooked and bolt. I couldnt duck in time so wacked into a peice of wood and fell off backwards. Went to hospital my arm was put into cast which meant i couldnt ride. But i went up to see him everyday and he would try and nudge my arm or chewing the cast thinking it was a play toy bless him.
Once a week had gone i went back and foudn out that it was tissue damage and was told to take it easy for the next week but like more people i got straight back on with my arm in a splint and started riding him again but with a saddle and by the second day was jumping him with my friend. (Which he injoyed by the way he kept bucking(:) But my uncle, dad and mum wont let me ride bareback but i know it was my fault if i had not of let him walk into the shelter i wouldnt have fallen off. But i really want to ride him bareback again so he use to it and so he' not scared but i need to boost my confidence and his confident. So i was wondering if anyone had any tips on what i could do.

Tbh Leo probably isn't going to be scared about you getting back on him bareback, to him it's probably just the same as you riding him with a saddle. If he's happy with you riding him with one, he probably won't be worried without!
I imagine it will be your confidence that has taken a knock. You need to take it steady whilst you've got your arm in a splint as you are more vunerable and if you take another fall you could do some serious damage to both your arm and your nerve. I broke my wrist a couple months ago and it goes without saying us horsey people don't take to not riding whilst broken! BUT, you need to do all you can to avoid another injury so I would personally stick to flat work and hacking until your arm is better.
Thank you. Yes brokening something or hurting urself don't make us stop riding. I was so bored when me mum wouldnt let me ride. Thank you. I think im gonna leave it till summer when my mum not really around because other wise ill never be able to do it. But i want to ride him bareback so that he knows im ganna get back on after a fall as i didnt when i fell off course i was in soo much pain. But i can't wait to get back on again. Thank you xx

Assessing Student Learning
Many resources are available on the assessment of student work and how you are teaching. Barbara Walvoord and Virginia Johnson's (1998) book Effective Grading: A tool for learning and assessment is an excellent starter text.
- Assessing group and individual work. Assessing Students in Groups: Promoting Group Responsibility and Individual Accountability, by Johnson and Johnson (2004) is another excellent text on how to assess individuals when they work in groups. They present tools for self- and peer-assessment, group exercises, and planning tips. Available at Amazon.com.
- Online Peer-assessment at UTEP. UTEP Instructional Support Services created an online tool called Peer Assessment Tool (original concept developed by the University of British Columbia). This tool allows faculty to create peer assessment tools that allow individual students to evaluate their team mates performance on group projects using rubrics or surveys. Responses are completely anonymous and can be completed outside of class ensuring greater willingness of the students to truthfully assess their peers.
- Rubrics. The webpages on rubrics (Rubistar and Bonny Mullinix's site, are very helpful. The AACU has a website devoted to valid assessment of student learning at http://www.aacu.org/value/rubrics/index.cfm.There are numerous texts covering rubrics but you may want to start with Introduction To Rubrics: An Assessment Tool To Save Grading Time, Convey Effective Feedback and Promote Student Learning, by Stevens and Levi (2005). This book is available in the CETaL collection in the UTEP library.
- A Role for Blackboard. Don't fail to take a close look at what Blackboard can do for you. UTEP uses Blackboard CE 8 which provides faculty all manners of course management and assessment tools. You can access Blackboard through your MyUTEP account. More information is available at FIT Lab.
Creating a campus Culture That Values Assessment. This article from Faculty Focus argues that assessment is simply making sure students learn what we really want them to learn, and the process can be viewed as a continual cycle of establishing learning goals, creating learning opportunities, assessing learning, and using results to reflect on your practices.

Site MMR11: Skull's Gap Overlook
Elevation: 3066 ft. Skull's Gap Overlook is a small site with a fantastic view. The Iron Mountain Trail is an extensive trail that can be accessed from this site. For wildlife watchers, Skull's Gap is probably best suited for hawk-watching during fall migration. The scattered woodlands of the area might also produce a few songbirds during both spring and fall. The hillsides are vegetated with flowering shrubs and wildflowers. On a sunny summer day, this is a good spot to find a diversity of butterflies. White-tailed deer and wild turkey might also be seen in the distance from the overlook. Panoramic views are also conducive for spying more elusive wildlife such as bobcat.
From Elk Garden, drive north on Rt. 600 for 5.2 miles to Rt. 603; cross Rt. 603 and continue north on Rt. 600 for 2.4 miles to Skull Gap Overlook on the left.

The accompanying photographs were taken by Paul Hamaker on Sept. 1, 2014, in Pinson, Alabama. The group of hummingbirds (ruby-throated hummingbirds) is enjoying a drink from a feeder. Granted the birds do not know it is Labor Day. Hamaker just got lucky and saw the birds at the feeder in his back yard.
Hummingbirds are notoriously competitive and protective of their food sources. Usually a bird will stake out a feeder and drive all other birds away. The birds in these photographs are most likely a family group. Five birds eating from the same feeder at the same time is a rare sight. This may be a female and her almost-adult brood preparing for their winter trip to Mexico or Central America. Male hummingbirds do not participate in the raising of the young.
A tornado destroyed a large part of the community where these photos were taken on Jan. 23, 2012. The storm destroyed many hummingbird nesting places. The population of hummingbirds visiting this feeder in 2012 and 2013 was smaller than previously seen. The birds have returned in abundance in 2014.
Hummingbirds are no longer considered to be an endangered species in Alabama. Mosquito spraying killed hummingbirds in the past but the populations have grown since the practice has been abandoned. Killing hummingbirds is frowned upon in Alabama.
It is nice to see some of nature's fastest and smallest in one's own back yard. Hummingbird feeders may make the birds into sugar addicts but the birds are born addicted. This group feeding is a rare sight and a nice bit of added fun to Labor Day.

- Friends For Life-GenslerArchitecture should be considered just as much for animals as for people, and Gensler's Houston office definitely got that concept while designing the Don Sanders Adoption Center for Friends For Life. Built into an existing building, this LEED-certified No Kill shelter takes animals into consideration first with specially designed rooms that help reduce stress. Natural daylighting, animal- and people-safe cleaning systems, energy-efficient design, fresh air and special noise-reducing acoustics are all part of the plan for this life-preserving shelter.1
- Friends For Life-GenslerThe Don Sanders Adoption Center is located in an existing warehouse in an urban, mixed-used community near downtown.2
- Friends For Life-GenslerRather than a remote, out-of-town site, an urban location like this places the shelter near where people can access it to encourage more adoptions, volunteer work and donations.3
- Friends For Life-GenslerGensler worked closely with Friends For Life (FFL) and learned from other humane shelters and experts from around the country to renovate the warehouse into safe space that celebrates life.4
- Friends For Life-GenslerThe ground floor is dedicated to the animals and includes space for utilities, storage, exam rooms and reception. For the dogs, there are kennels and a living room-like area for potential adopters to get to know the pups.5
- Friends For Life-GenslerThe cats enjoy a spacious activity room with lots of room to play and roam. Natural light reaches every room, every animal and even every person.6
- Friends For Life-GenslerAn upper floor provides office space for the FFL staff.7
- Friends For Life-GenslerGensler's design places the animals first to provide them a healthy, safe and reduced-stress environment. Besides the natural daylighting, fresh air from the outside is brought in to change 100% of the air 15 times an hour.8
- Friends For Life-GenslerThe project has been awarded a LEED certification and is the only such No Kill shelter of its kind in Texas.9

The new Nixs Brewpub on South Water St is a great find for all ages, with moderate prices and terrific food. Located in the place of the old Seadog Brewpub, Nixs has a more imaginative menu and much better food and service. Nixs came into being after a partnership split from the old Seadog partners and is now cut free of the constraints of the old Seadog menu and is now managed by island expert Jimmy Agnew. It appears that Nix was a local pirate in the 1600s.
The menu includes around a dozen brews on tap and slightly unexpected items like Hush Puppies, Lobster Knuckle Sliders and Short Rib Tacos, in addition to more conventional fare.
We started with their "Clam Chowdah," a creamy New England style chowder with bacon and chives ($7 and $9) and Beer Mussels ($16), a huge platter of mussels steamed in Cisco beet with bacon lardons and shallots, and served with garlic bread to sop up the delicious broth. Both were exceptionally well prepared and delivered in just minutes.
While there are lots of things we'd like to try eventually, we had to see how their hamburger stacks up to the competition, and are pleased to say that it is one of the island's best: warm, juicy, medium rare, and served with a bundle actual fresh French fries. This was the Nixs Burger ($13): they also offer The Gallop Cheeseburger ($14) with Vermont Cheddar and a special sauce. Both are served on a toasted brioche roll. They also offer a smaller Late Night After 10 Burger.
Our other entrée was a delicious Best Lobster Roll Around ($22), and while we didn't actually see it "roll around," we did find it tender, meaty and delicious, and a more than adequate dinner portion served on a grilled buttery roll.
But wait! Don't go yet! You have to try their Zeppole ($10) for dessert: cinnamon dusted ricotta fritters with caramel and vanilla custard for dipping. These are basically delicious, hot, freshly made Italian doughnuts, and you really have to try them to believe how good they are.
Look for local bands performing a Nixs most weekends. Friday night we heard a great country band.
Nixs Brewpub is a welcome addition to the family dining and nightlife of Nantucket and we give it top marks all around!

I have been MIA.
The last blog post I wrote was thirty days ago.
I had just celebrated my first blogversary, had a series of guest posts lined up, and was going on a short vacation with my daughter for her spring break.
We went to Paris and then Courchevel for skiing. I had an amazing time. So many things I wanted to share in my blog! I'll write about it tonight, I thought to myself.
That night I turned on my laptop, downloaded some pictures, and went to bed. I'll write tomorrow.
Several days passed, and still I didn't log in. I'll write when I get home.
I've been home for two weeks now. There was never a day that passed by that I did not think about my blog and my online friends, yet every time I sat down and faced my laptop, I couldn't bring myself to write. I would start typing a sentence or two, but then got distracted. Or allowed myself to be distracted, to be exact.
I found myself wrapping birthday presents for my daughter's friends way ahead of time and cleaning my wallet of old receipts in my spare time. Things I usually do strictly on a last-minute basis.
I could continue to deny it, but the truth was I didn't feel like writing, and I didn't want to write. It felt like I had not written for so long, had not been in touch with my bloggy friends, had not even tweeted, that now I'm intimidated about going back and picking up where I left off. It seems much easier to stay away… That way I don't have to explain anything, don't have to admit to my readers that I have not enjoyed writing lately, or face logging in to WordPress only to find out that I've lost a significant number of followers.
You're such a bad friend… look how you treated your guests who did posts for you the last time. You didn't give them the attention they deserved!
Nobody's gonna care if you never write again…
You're such a quitter! Are you really going to disappear without any explanation?
Like a coward, I avoided my blog, Twitter, and Facebook. I stopped checking my blog's emails. I didn't want to be reminded of how long I've abandoned my blog and my online friends.
Then a few of my bloggy friends* tweeted me, expressing their concern and letting me know they've noticed my absence. I've missed them too. Apparently more than I realized. I missed reading their stories and sharing a part of their lives. I missed their presence in my life.
Slowly, I've started to want to write again. I am not ready to give up blogging. I don't want to let my online friends down because their friendship is as real as the ones in my real life. I need them in my life. And maybe, just maybe, they need me too. Maybe, my presence in their lives does make a difference.
So here I am. Sweaty is back. Even if it means I have to start from scratch again. No doubt I've let some people down, but I need to face that as a consequence of what I've done. I've fallen off the wagon, but this time I'm NOT giving up. I'm getting back on.
It's a start.
It's enough.

I stripped my Pan transmission down so I now just have the case with the mainshaft stuff still in it. I'll be bringing it to a shop this weekend to have a really worn out main drive gear bushing replaced along with the seals, etc.
When I get it back, I'll be putting it back together myself. Do I absolutely need one of those shift fork gauge rigs to get the shift timing right? If so, maybe I'll just have the shop do it instead of buying one.

This may look like just another bottle of pink nail polish. Oh, but it's not. It's SEPHORA by OPI It's My Pink Nail Polish ($10). And it's not just pink but it's perfumed pink with Too Too perfume by Betsey Johnson. Perfumed nail polish is a first for us and we hope this one bottle isn't the last we see of this hybrid beauty product. We think SEPHORA, OPI and Miss Johnson are on to something with this idea. Just think about all the times your hands cross your face. When you're on the phone, powdering your cheeks, popping grapes in your mouth at lunch, knowingly tapping your nose at your bestie with the poorly covered love bite on her neck. All of those moments have been missed opportunities to smell Too Too up until now.
Keep it up, Betsey. We like the way you think.

Prenuptial agreements:
Signs of a valid prenup
Perhaps the most important ingredient
of a solid prenuptial agreement is honesty. Both parties must FULLY
disclose their assets. If it turns out either person has hidden
something, a judge can toss out the contract.
An ironclad agreement also must be signed well in
advance of the wedding. You can't present your honey with a prenup
two days before the big day and say, "Uh, by the way, I need
your signature on this."
The document should be signed as early before the
nuptials as possible to avoid the appearance of coercion, another
key reason why some agreements are rendered null and void.
"I recommend at least one month before the wedding
and preferably before the invitations have been sent out,"
says Nancy Dunnan, financial adviser and author. "Then you
both have time to back out if you're uncomfortable with the terms.
If the discussion revealed such deep and basic differences between
two people that they decide not to marry, it's obviously best if
all the talks took place well in advance ... You don't want to have
to send back presents!"
A valid prenup also is "fair" and will not
leave one of the parties destitute. "No matter what state you're
in, the state will look for equity to make sure one spouse is not
being taken advantage of," says Joseph P. Zwack, an Iowa lawyer
and author of a best-selling handbook Premarital Agreements:
When, Why and How to Write Them.
Prenups can include responsibilities that don't deal
with money, but you should avoid making demands that might seem
frivolous, such as requiring that your spouse not gain weight, or
that he or she quit smoking and take out the garbage three times
a week. A judge could look askance upon terms that are less serious
than, say, stipulating what religion your children will observe
if you and your betrothed are of different faiths.
"It's dangerous to do that, and you're flirting
with having the whole thing set aside," warns Zwack.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The No. 8 Stanford men's rowing team concluded the San Diego Crew Classic on Sunday with three boats racing in the Grand Finals.
"Today had all the components for great results with fair water, top competition and us coming off an excellent victory over a nationally ranked Northeastern crew on Saturday," said head coach Craig Amerkhanian. "We fell short today, but we learned a great deal. Our season has just begun and the challenge is at hand. It is time for us to be Stanford and work together for success and optimum performance."
The varsity eight was the first to race in the Men's Collegiate Invitational. Widely considered the top race of the San Diego Crew Classic, it features the best collegiate eights in the field. The Cardinal won its heat in the Saturday prelims, setting up a chance to race for the title.
While Stanford did not put together a performance equal of Saturday, they did finish third overall with a time of 6:05.26. The two schools that finished ahead of them were No. 2 Cal and No. 10 Northeastern.
The second varsity eight placed sixth in its Grand Final race after posting a time of 6:26.29. The third eight followed shortly after in the Men's Open Grand Final. They recorded a time of 6:31.06 for fourth place.
Next weekend the Cardinal will be back in action, this time heading to the Northwest. They will be in Seattle to face Washington and Washington State on Saturday and then Oregon State on Sunday.

Best Management Practices for Riprap Shores
- Consult a shoreline specialist and/or local soil and water conservation districts staff Aquatic Habitat Restoration Grant Program.
- Introduce aggressive native shoreline plants into riprap. Deep-rooted native plants will withstand the erosive forces of moving water, allow for sediment to accumulate which encourages natural vegetation regeneration.
- Reduce riprap shorelines on PWA sites.

A Michigan police officer is recovering after being shot in what's being called a 'freak accident' involving a pit bull, The Detroit News reported August 17.
Two Harper Woods police officers were trying to corral two loose pit bulls Sunday morning around 8:30 a.m. Near Harper Avenue and Parkcrest Drive in Harper's Woods, an eastside suburb of Detroit in Wayne County.
According to a statement by the Harper Woods Public Safety Department, one of the officers was being 'charged,' and fearing for his safety, the officer fired his weapon at the dog.
The bullet hit the pit bull in the head and shattered, with a fragment bouncing off the sidewalk and striking a fellow officer in his arm.
The injured officer was taken to St. John Hospital in Detroit, where he was treated and released.
The dogs were taken to a Harper Woods veterinarian. Their condition is unknown.
The public safety department is investigating the shooting. The names of the officers involved haven't been made public.
This isn't the first time an officer has been injured while firing his weapon at a dog. In late July 2014, an Examiner article told of how Clifton, New Jersery officer was injured when he accidentally shot his hand.
In May 2013, a Chicago Police Department officer was injured when his partner shot him in the thigh while attempting to shoot a dog. Click here for that story.
It's fortunate no innocent bystanders were injured, as was the case in July 2013 when 10-year-old Dakota Corbitt of Douglas, Georgia was accidentally shot by a Coffee County Sheriff's deputy as the deputy attempted to shoot a dog..
Your comments on this incident are welcome.

Hopefully one of these days the DuPage County, Illinois weather will actually reflect the springtime season – not with snow and cold, but with spring breezes, sunny days, mild temperatures and the signs of new life. Although we have not been blessed with signs of spring too much yet, this is the perfect time to prepare Fido for the season!
Once the weather is warmer, more people and their pets will be out and about; both exercising and shopping for Fido. The Healthy Pets insert in last Wednesday's Daily Herald contained some excellent suggestions about eco-conscious pet ownership. The suggestions lent by Metro Editorial Services will not only help your dog be healthier, but will keep the Earth cleaner.
One such suggestion is not to utilize plastic shopping bags to pick up Fido's waste as the bags could linger in the trash as long as 1,000 years from now. Organic pet foods will make Fido's waste better for our environment since the foods do not contain conventional pesticides or artificial fertilizers. They are great for the dog, too, since they contain about 40% more antioxidants due to the organic fruits and vegetables used to make the foods. Recycled toys, leashes, and bowls give Fido the look and feel of a pampered pup while making Mother Nature happier along the way. Lastly, when considering spring cleaning tactics, look into cleaning green; use products that are nontoxic - both for Fido and your home. If you are looking to get your carpets cleaned, consider ChemDry as your cleaner of choice!
If you like to cook for Fido, Modern Dog has some healthy suggestions that come right from your cabinets and refrigerator and are healthier. These 11 treats fall right in line with making certain that your dog's treats are comprised of no more than 10% of your pooch's daily caloric intake. The treat suggestions include:
1. Sweet red pepper slices
2. Frozen sardines
3. Quinoa
4. Dehydrated apricots
5. Steamed cabbage
6. Brown rice
7. Pumpkin
8. Apples
9. Carrots
10. Cauliflower
11. Cheese
There are also some ordinary kitchen herbs that are actually good for dogs as well. Modern Dog suggested the following: Rosemary, basil, peppermint, oregano, and parsley are all good fordogs, and have benefits that range from helping with digestive problems, diarrhea, and gas to radio-protective effects, helpful for animals undergoing chemotherapy. Nausea and travel sickness, bad breath, and more can also be assuaged with the right herb! To obtain their entire list of suggested herbs, check out our gallery of herbs beneficial to dogs. (Dosage information follows the last herb featured.)
Now you and your four-legged companion will be ready for a happier, healthier, more eco-friendly spring….when it finally gets here!

Although popular libations for this St. Patrick's Day are Irish coffee and green beer, Cinco de Mayo is not that far away when Mariachi bands and Margaritas will be featured. A new study has found that tequila may reduce the risk of diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes. The findings were presented at the American Chemical Society (ACS) annual meeting, which runs from March 16 through March 20 in Dallas, Texas.
The researchers are affiliated with the Centro de Incetagcioan y de Estudios Avanzados, Biotechnology and Biochemistry Irapuato, in Guanajuato, Mexico. They note that natural sugars derived from the agave plant, known as agavins, significantly protected a group of mice against diet-induced obesity and type 2 diabetes. The mice were divided into seven groups. One group received a diet of plain water; the other groups were given water supplemented with either aspartame, glucose, fructose, sucrose, agave syrup, or agavins. The mice that received agavins were found to reduce their food intake and weight, resulting in a decrease in blood glucose levels. These findings were similar to the control group that received plain water.
Agavins act as dietary fibers and do not raise blood sugar; thus, the researchers are of the opinion that these substances could be used as an alternative sweetening agent. They noted that agavins have a great potential as a light sweetener. They wrote: "[Agavins] are sugars, highly soluble, with a low glycemic index and a neutral taste…This puts agavins in a tremendous position for their consumption by obese and diabetic people."
Tequila is distilled from the blue agave plant, primarily around the Mexican city of Tequila. The researchers noted that, at present, agavins are not widely available and not as sweet as regular sugars.
The most recent Los Angeles County Health Survey reports that the rate of type 2 diabetes is steadily increasing among adults aged 18 and older; from 1997 through 1999, it rose from 6.6% to 7.6%; it was 7.6% in 2002, and 8.6% in 2005. Obesity is the single most important risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Other risk factors include increasing age, family history, and physical inactivity. In Los Angeles County, direct costs of medical care for diabetes and indirect costs associated with disability and lost productivity were estimated to be $5.6 billion in 2005.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart may have gone through a divorce last season, but she has hinted that she is dating someone who is well-known. Since then, there have been discussions of who this man could be. And just this week, a report surfaced that she was dating Teodoro Ngeuma Obiang Mangue, the son of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the president of Equatorial Guinea and an abuser of human rights. According to a new Bravo report published on March 13, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart is now denying that she is dating a President's son, even though she was supposedly linked to him.
"The TMZ report is completely false!" she has said after learning of the story. "I do not know Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, nor have I ever dated him. When there is someone special in my life whom I wish to share I will let you all know. It has been rumored that I am dating many people." The story claims he's been showering her with "expensive gifts for the last month—Louboutin shoes, Chanel…even a Rolls Royce."
However, in the denial she does not answer who she could be dating instead. But she has been caught flirting with Chad Ochocinco on Twitter, who is single after getting divorced from Evelyn Lozada last year. That marriage ended after a violent incident where Chad head-butted Evelyn after she found him cheating.
Do you think Porsha is dating Ochocinco?

It's hard to imagine a small theatre company more dedicated and intense than Outcry Theatre, a group that evinces the fact that you needn't have deep pockets or elaborate production values to create exquisite, fanciful, poetic, dangerous and compulsively searching shows. Beginning in 2012 with Carlos Murillo's dark play or stories for boys, a trippy, volcanic painful exploration of the shadowy side of malehood, Outcry has continued to intrigue, absorb, enchant and torment audiences with The Four of Us, Circus Tracks, and now Lucas Hnath's Isaac's Eye, a strange and unsettling rumination on the life of Sir Isaac Newton as he struggled to fulfill his destiny, and actualize the promise of his genius, while investigating phenomena such as the nature of light, time, space and calculus.
Hnath depicts Newton's (Price Wayne Christian) emotional turmoil by examining his relationship to his girlfriend, Catherine his contemporary and rival, a more accomplished scientist named Robert Hooke, and Sam (Jason Johnson-Spinos) a poor soul dying of the Bubonic Plague and test subject in Hooke and Newton's experimentation. Catherine and Isaac have been friends since childhood. She is the daughter of an apothecary and deeply devoted to Newton, obviously more invested in their attachment than he is. Catherine (Sarah Elizabeth Smith) shares a tenuous connection to Hooke (Duc Huu Nguyen) a friend of her father's who belongs to The British Royal Academy of Science. She provides Isaac with entrée to Hooke, who keeps brushing him aside until he realizes that Newton, despite his raw and intuitive approach, may be on to something. Trouble is, Hooke doesn't really welcome the competition. The conflict of interest isn't italicized, but it's also impossible to ignore.
Like other shows in Outcry's short history, Isaac's Eye, uses a simple, narrative approach, which results in greater complexity. That is to say, the more they explain, the more hopelessly complicated the situation becomes. Needless to say, this is complication in the best possible sense. It's not that Isaac doesn't love Catherine, but she'll always run a distant second to his work. Is this a failing on Newton's part, or the price of truly soaring in a way that suggests Icarus or revolutionary thinkers that changed the course of history? While Hooke has no burning desire to see Newton succeed, his methodology feels more grounded and his values, less extreme. Still, after we process all this information, Isaac's Eye begs the question, does lunacy (such as probing your tear duct with a needle) come closer to genius than composure? Is a sense of security the path to illumination?
Hnath raises so many compelling questions, it's hard to know where to begin. He humanizes Newton and his situation, yet clarifies his ordeal. He admits at the outset that much of Isaac's Eye is fiction crafted for the sake of illustration. Like asking yourself what Van Gogh would have done if a loved one were desperate for food. A central conflict in which Newton blackmails Hooke, initiates more questions about the nature living one's life responsibly and effectively, especially when burdened with miraculous vision and intellect. I couldn't say if Hnath fully evaluates the cruelty of a world that tends to stigmatize and torture fringe dwellers, for the unpardonable sin of refusing (or not understanding how) to assimilate. In a way Isaac's Eye makes Newton seem almost impish, extraterrestial, so maybe it's not so difficult to grasp his alienation or estrangement as Hnath might seem to imply. All this being said, Outcry, again, with the astonishing energy and grace their cast, crew, directors and writer bring to the stage, have accomplished sorcery with a few exotic ingredients, and the spark of supernatural will. Don't miss this sublime, chilling, phenomenal drama.
Outcry Theatre presents Isaac's Eye, playing January 23rd through a Sunday matinee on February 2nd, 2014. The Studio Theatre (Black Box) at Addison Theatre Centre, 16560 Addison Road, Addison, Texas 75001. 972-836-7206. www.outcrytheatre.com

December 20, 2010
The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry community has been focused on giving to those in need this holiday season. From late November through December students, faculty and staff donated a significant amount of time, resources and items to those less fortunate, via clothing and food drives as well as involvement with local San Francisco nonprofits.
This clothing drive encouraged the dental school community to drop off new or gently worn coats, jackets, scarves and gloves, to be passed along to local charities and then distributed to those in need. Throughout December - an exceptionally cold and rainy month for the San Francisco Bay Area this year - the school community donated over 80 coats and other winter wear which were then distributed to local charities including St. Vincent de Paul, St. Anthony Foundation and Conard House Community Services. For more information or to support One Warm Coat, visit http://www.onewarmcoat.org.
Every holiday season the school organizes a food drive to benefit the San Francisco Food Bank. Barrels are placed throughout the school for people to drop off nonperishable food items. This year, the school filled four barrels with food, which will go to feed hungry San Francisco residents. To support the San Francisco Food Bank, visit http://www.sffoodbank.org.
Students organized a "Pacific Pays it Forward" holiday volunteer event on Dec. 4 at San Francisco charity Project Open Hand. During the day-long event, students gathered to package and prepare food which was distributed to those without money to buy groceries, including many elderly and seriously ill. Project Open Hand has been helping feed underserved populations since 1985. To support this organization, visit http://www.openhand.org.
Continuing the Dugoni School of Dentistry's involvement with San Francisco's Project Homeless Connect (PHC), the dental school recently completed a second Denture Block, which benefits homeless individuals by providing them with free dentures. Additionally, dental school students and faculty participated in a PHC event on Dec. 8 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, where they screened dozens of patients and sent those needing immediate treatment to the dental school for care. To support PHC, visit http://www.projecthomelessconnect.com.
In December, the school's Dental Staff Advisory Council (DSAC) hosted a secret pal gift exchange. For two weeks, staff members gave small gifts to their secret pal, a randomly selected colleague. At the end of the exercise, all secret pal participants donated money in their secret pal's name to the dental school endowment Kids in the Klinic, which provides dental care to underserved children. To support Kids in the Klinic, visit http://www.kidsintheklinic.org.
"Thank you to all who participated in these giving opportunities, and to the students and staff members who organized them," said Dr. Nader Nadershahi, acting dean of the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. "Amid all of the other school activities taking place this past quarter, it was remarkable to see these various benefits taking place to help the wider community this holiday season."

When you are eating gluten-free, finding nutritious snacks can be difficult. There are a lot of white rice flour crackers, potato flour chips, and many other high carbohydrate and low protein products. Sure, you can always grab a handful of nuts, but sometimes you want something that is good for you and adds variety. Here are some to consider.
Chunky Peanut Butter high protein bar
Have you ever been running around trying to fit it all in (work, family, friends, housework, appointments) and find yourself stuck with no gluten-free options in sight that are high in protein (20 grams!), low in sugar, taste good, are a bargain AND inside your purse or briefcase? Think Thin is the brand of high protein nutrition bars by Think Products. Just reading about their Chucnky Peanut Butter bar is enough to make you want one. Here's the information for you: http://thinkproducts.com/products/chunky-peanut-butter-high-protein-bar/. And, they are easily available in Target Stores or you can buy them online. Enjoy them with a drink for a filling, delicious snack or quick meal on the run.
Granola - loaded fruit and nut
Trader Joe's take gluten-free granola and turns it into more than just a morning cereal. Throw some in your favorite yogurt for an amped-up breakfast. Try it on top of ice cream for a treat that is good for you, or just eat it by the handful. Keep the zip top bag in your car when you are on the road or in a carry-on piece of luggage when traveling. Protein and fiber and outstanding taste anywhere, anytime. So good, it even made Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer - http://www.traderjoes.com/fearless-flyer/article.asp?article_id=1090
Say cheese! Crackers that make you smile
Finding a snack cracker that is delicious and nutritious is not easy. And, if you once loved small fish-shaped cheese crackers as a kid, you know that it is hard to replicate the lip-smacking taste and crunch in a gluten-free product... but Van's Foods has done it. Say Cheese! snack crackers are available in a standard sixed box and a value pack with five mini-packets (which might help you from overindulging in them). The protein and fiber is as good as the taste. You will love having these any time - and so will others around you, too. See: http://www.vansfoods.com/our-products-crackers#
Double dark chocolate and good for you
Low in sugar and high in protein (12 grams), with a crispy and rich dark chocolate inside and out, when you need chocolate, this is it. Zone Perfect Double Dark Chocolate bars are quick snacks that everyone will and the protein will keep you going - while making you feel very indulgent from the chocolate kick. For all the nutritional information see: http://zoneperfect.com/products/zoneperfect/double-dark-chocolate. They have more flavors, too.
(Just a little side note: the facilities where Zone Perfect double dark chocolate nutrition bars are made are not on dedicated facilities, so cross-contamination is possible if you need to be aware of this.)

The Dialogue Arts Project (DAP) partners with organizations to create energizing training experiences in order to help students and leaders collaborate and communicate more effectively across difference.
In an increasingly multicultural society, the need for self-awareness, tolerance and open communication has never been more critical. DAP reaches beyond those safe, cookie-cutter efforts to help individuals and communities collaborate more effectively across lines of social identity and difference.
DAP workshops are multi-day or week-long engagements, designed to be incorporated into conferences, trainings, or festivals. Specific engagements can be as long as eight weeks and as brief a single day, depending on the needs and scheduling restrictions of partnering organizations.

Re: Elko, Nevada
Posted by Kevin on 26 June 1999, at 12:37 a.m., in response to Elko, Nevada, posted by Hertzer on 22 June 1999, at 5:51 p.m.
Last time I was in Elko was about 15 years ago. They basically had 2 casinos of any size, neither a big brand name. Both had a few blackjack tables, but mostly slots and video poker. Of course 15 years is a long time in casino years. The Las Vegas strip damn near doubled in size in that time.
I recommend checking your ads for special deals to Laughlin. Laughlin has 7 or 8 casinos, but they are all of the type you'd find in Reno. I prefer Laughlin to anywhere except Vegas. If you going during the weekday you can get great 2 or 3 day packages for ridiculously low rates. Last time I was there I had a Deluxe room at the Ramada Express for $18 per night. Plus you can rent a car and make a day trip down to Lake Havasu to see the London bridge and village, or out to Oatman,AZ, and old mining town with wild burros who wander the streets. As far as I know, there is nothing to see around Elko.

MVC Day One Recap/Championship Central | Live Results
By Tyler Wooten
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Saluki women's golf currently sits in fifth place after shooting a solid first-round score of 300 amid stiff competition at the first day of the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Golf Championship at Panther Creek Country Club on Sunday.
Four teams shot below 300 on the first day, including current leader and host Bradley, who shot a school-record 293 on Day One thanks to a 69 by Danielle Lemek. Lemek is tied for the overall lead with Indiana State's McCall Christopher at 69, the first time in MVC history that two players have shot below 70 at the conference championship.
Amid the historic performances at the top of the leaderboard, the streaking Salukis are in fifth place after firing a solid 300 on Sunday to sit seven strokes off of Bradley heading into Monday's second round. Southern received four scores 76 or lower and a drop score of 77 by freshman Brooke Cusumano (tied for 26th, 77), who has now shot a 77 in five of her last six rounds.
Leading the way for Southern was senior and three-time returning All-MVC honoree Cassie Rushing, who shot a one-over par 73 on Sunday. Rushing shot a one-under 35 on the back-nine and totaled three birdies on the day to help SIU's cause. The Marion, Ill., native has owned SIU's lowest score at the conference meet in two of her previous three conference tournaments.
Junior Kris Grimes is tied for 14th overall after shooting a first-round 75 that saw two birdies and a one-over par 37 on the back-nine. Both Ashleigh Rushing and Xianmei Jin are tied for 20th overall after shooting a 76 on Sunday. By her 12th hole, Rushing was SIU's lowest score at one-under par (tied for third) after shooting two of her three birdies on holes 10 and 11. But, the senior shot two double-bogeys and one bogey in her final six holes to fall to four-over on the day.
Day Two of the MVC Championships begins at 9 a.m. at Panther Creek Country Club.
Individual Scores (Through 18 holes):
T7. Cassie Rushing: 73
T14. Kris Grimes: 75

Woody Allen
6. Annie Hall
Written by Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman
Some facts about the writing of the film:
• Woody Allen was born in Flatbush, NY. He has been a television writer, a playwright, a screenwriter, an actor, an author, a director and a producer.• Marshall Brickman wrote jokes for Woody Allen's standup act in the 1960s.
• Allen originally conceived Annie Hall as a murder mystery with a subplot about a romance. –multiple sources
• Woody Allen and Marshall Brickman considered as many as 100 possible titles for the film before settling on Anhedonia –the inability to feel pleasure. United Artists fought against it (among other things, they were unable to come up with an ad campaign that explained the meaning of the word) and Allen compromised on naming the film after a central character three weeks before the film's premiere. –The New York Times, 4/20/77
• Many elements in the script were based on reality, including the fact that Diane Keaton's real name is Diane Hall, and her nickname is Annie. –multiple sources• Woody Allen: "Details are picked from life. I'm a comedian. Diane sings, and I'm friends with Tony Roberts, and almost everybody I know has moved out to California." –The New York Times, 4/20/77
• "In common with her character, [Diane Keaton] calls her grandmothers 'Grammy,' uses expressions like 'la-dee-dah' and 'Oh, gee, it's a wacky old world,' and orders pastrami and white bread with mayo."–The New York Times, 4/20/77
• Marshall Brickman: "At first, in Annie Hall, we made Diane Keaton a neurotic New York girl, but the character had no dramatic transition. This led us to give her a family in Wisconsin." –The New York Times, 8/21/77
• Brickman: "The first script of Annie Hall was much more episodic, tangential, and novelistic… We started to become interested in the love story between Woody and the Keaton character, which was all over the place. We cut and pasted to make the love story more important, and the structure emerged. The material was telling us what to do." –Film Comment, June 1986
• Allen on writing Annie Hall: "I've always been able to get laughs. I wanted to move on. This is not a quantum leap, but at least it's a couple of inches in the right direction." –The New York Times, 4/20/77

I loved the bright blue skies when we left for Vegas, doesn't it look like we're headed into orbit or something?! LOL We actually left a few days earlier than most photographers since we signed up for the WPPI Plus class with the world renowned Australian photographer, Yervant. They limit the Plus classes to about 20 people per class so it's super hard to get into them…(all 8 classes ended up selling out fast!) I was literally hitting the "refresh" button every few minutes (around midnight) while waiting for the WPPI registration site to go live a few months ago so here's a tip to all of you photographer blog stalkers out there – if you know you want to go to WPPI next year, be prepared to register the moment the site goes live in order to get into all of the classes you want!!
Anyway, back to Day 1…we arrived safely in Vegas and got all of our luggage. I knew after having a hard time getting everything to fit into 1 suitcase last year that we'd be better off bringing an extra one with us and it definitely paid off…except for the fact that we had to rent a limo to get to the hotel. (darn!) 😉 All 4 suitcases and 3 carry-ons wouldn't fit into a cab for sure!! LOL We stayed at the Paris Hotel, same as last year, and the convention was at Paris & Bally's. Here's the limo driver dealing with all of my pink luggage…LOL
Check out this display in the lobby of the Paris Hotel…only in Vegas would you see this…LOL Oh, and they do sell those cake toppers in the gift shop!
We unpacked our stuff and then headed out for a stroll after dinner…here's the Eiffel Tower at night…
We watched the fountains at the Bellagio twice…it's all synchronized to music and it's AMAZING…John uploaded this video to YouTube – CLICK HERE to check it out!
Then we went inside to take more pics…the garden area was under construction when we stopped by (they were switching out their decor for the Easter season) but I managed to get some cool shots of their lobby and of some of the stores inside.
Jean Phillipe's was an amazing pastry shop at the Bellagio…these desserts were way too pretty to eat – so we didn't…we just took pics! LOL
Then I noticed they do wedding cakes!! AMAZING stuff…I've posted some closer up detail shots in case any of you want to use these as inspiration for your wedding…
Oh and these "bags" were made out of cake and fondant….WOW!
Our hotel at night…
The reflecting pool….
More pics to come soon!

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Winning games in October and November has been more of a trademark for Kirk Ferentz-coached University of Iowa football teams than running the table in September.
That could be the case again in 2012, as an inexperienced group continues to grow in front of our eyes. Although it didn't show up on the scoreboard Saturday during a 9-6 loss to Iowa State, the young Hawkeyes are moving in the right direction.
"We improved in a lot of areas this past week," Ferentz told hawkeyesports.com Sunday in an exclusive interview. "We have to keep our foot on the gas. It's always better to get off to a good start, and we're trying to do that, but you think back to '04, we were 2-2 and ended up winning the Big Ten championship."
Iowa opened the 2004 season with wins against Kent State (39-7) and Iowa State (17-10), before losing at Arizona State by 37 and at Michigan by 13. The Hawkeyes won their final eight games, including a 30-25 win over LSU in the Capital One Bowl.
"In football, chances are you're going to lose somewhere in the course of the year," Ferentz said. "The first thing you can't do is let one loss beat you twice. You have to move on. We spend Sundays critiquing the game and watching the tape, then we go out and make corrections on the field."
Some obvious improvements came in pass protection from the offensive line. On Sept. 1, Iowa was sacked six times; seven days later, they go an entire game without allowing a sack.
Supporting the strength of the Iowa and Iowa State defenses is the fact the Hawkeyes averaged just 2.4 yards per 28 rushing attempts. The Cyclones averaged 2.5 yards on 41 runs.
"Some of the things in the running game are a matter of details and getting those things nailed down," Ferentz said.
A slight bit of footwork here, the angle an offensive lineman takes, depth of receivers on their routes, finishing plays, making correct reads...all little things, but when the Hawkeyes get them straightened out...
"Collectively, if we can improve a small percentage, it will show up in a big way," Ferentz said.
Up next is Northern Iowa, a second consecutive in-state rival. In the last meeting in 2009, the Hawkeyes used back-to-back blocked field goal attempts by Broderick Binns and Jeremiha Hunter to hold on for a 17-16 victory.
"They're off to a good start," Ferentz said. "They played Wisconsin extremely tough (26-21 loss in Madison) and came back and won at home very convincingly (59-0 against Central State University). We know they'll be fired up and they will be ready. They have proven they aren't intimidated to travel on the road to Big Ten schools or other conferences."
The Hawkeye offense has averaged 182.5 yards per game in its first two outings, but Iowa is still searching for its first touchdown through the air.
"We're not where we want to be and it's showing up mostly in the red zone," Ferentz said. "We haven't been able to finish drives with touchdowns and that's something you have to do to be successful offensively. We had a couple opportunities (Saturday against Iowa State) and didn't get the job done. There are some plays out there we had an opportunity to make that we didn't convert.
"Our passing game was coming around in the month of August. Now we have to keep working to refine and make the plays that are doable out there."
