Colorado campers and outdoor chefs got some good news Thursday as fire restrictions begin to ease in the wake of recent rains.
Several counties, including Jefferson, Lake and Pueblo, ended their complete bans, and the U.S. Forest Service eased fire restrictions at many Colorado campgrounds.
The Forest Service announced that, effective at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, the fire restriction level was reduced to Stage 1 in much of the Pike and San Isabel national forests.
This means fires will be allowed in developed campgrounds — but only in developed campgrounds — in the Pikes Peak, South Platte, South Park and San Carlos ranger districts.
Also, the Forest Service lifted all fire restrictions in the Salida and Leadville ranger districts.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office announced that beginning 8 a.m. Friday, the county would allow the use of liquid or gas-fueled appliances, approved wood-pellet grills, charcoal barbecue grills not closer than 30 feet from an undeveloped area, and portable outdoor fireplaces not closer than 30 feet from an undeveloped area.
However, Jefferson County is still under a Stage 1 Fire Restriction order, which includes fireworks, smoking and open burning.
Those fire restrictions remain in place until further notice.
Lake County and Pueblo County also went to the lesser, Stage 1 ban effective at 5 p.m. Thursday.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management is allowing fire on developed campgrounds on the lands it manages in Clear Creek, Custer, Douglas, El Paso, Fremont, Huerfano, Jefferson, Las Animas, Park, Pueblo, Saguache and Teller counties.
There are no fire restrictions in the White River National Forest. However, the Rio Grande National Forest in southwest Colorado, where the 109,000-acre West Fork Complex continues to burn, remains under a total ban.
Meanwhile, the two fires burning on Fisher's Peak near Trinidad are now considered a complex.
The Pipeline fire is burning about 70 acres and is zero percent contained. The Crazy fire is about 45 acres in size and 90 percent contained.
Command of the Pipeline Complex will be transitioning to a Type 3 team later Thursday.
In Larimer County, fire crews reached full containment Thursday morning on the smaller of two fires burning in the mountainous area between Estes Park and Loveland.
At 8:30 a.m., the Larimer County Sheriff's Office tweeted that crews reached full containment on the 1.5-acre Pole Hill fire burning in a heavily forested area near Pinewood Reservoir.
Lyons, Forest Service and Larimer County crews continued to battle the nearby 4-acre Hell's Canyon fire, which was 75 percent contained as of early Thursday evening.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- President Barack Obama was back at North Carolina State University to talk about jobs, but this time the speech was more about what he could do without Congress instead of what he'd like done legislatively this year.
"Long term, the challenge of making sure that everyone who works hard can get ahead in today's economy is so important we can't wait for Congress to solve it," he said. "Where I can act on my own without Congress, I'm going to do so."
President Barack Obama explains the motives behind a series of new manufacturing innovation institutes while speaking Wednesday at North Carolina State University.
The Tar Heel State event is part of what the White House is calling a "year of action." It's a term the president and his team have been using since December to describe new policies – many to be enacted as executive actions – to maintain the economic recovery.
Wednesday's announcement of the first of three "manufacturing innovation institutes" not only follows through on a proposal the president made during the his 2012 State of the Union address but also is an example of one of the type of partnerships he hopes to facilitate with, as he put it Tuesday -- his pen and his phone.
The money pledged by the federal government for the manufacturing institute was taken from already appropriated funds and combined with funding from private industry. But the president also renewed his call for Congress to fully fund the project he envisioned: 45 manufacturing institutes throughout the country.
While manufacturing and job growth were the focus of the president's remarks, the speech came with a tinge of the midterm politics that could prove awkward for Obama's fellow Democrats.
At the beginning of the event, Obama praised Sen. Kay Hagan, a North Carolina Democrat whose absence from the event was been cited by Republicans as a sign of political unease. Hagan faces a tough re-election in the state, where Obama's approval rating has sunk.
NBC's Carrie Dann contributed to this report.

This article appeared in a March 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
By Alejandra Miranda North Lake News-Register Contributing Writer
It was the beginning of Vicente Sanchez' summer vacation. The year was 2010, and he had just started working with his family fixing apartments.
He was an active 15-year-old and dreamed of finding the perfect job to fully support his mother and family members in Mexico.
On June 20, 2010, Sanchez and his family took some time off from work to go on a camping trip to Turner Falls Park in Davis, Okla., to celebrate the Father's Day weekend. Sanchez had only one thing on his mind — to have fun.
"We had just gotten there, we got all the tents ready, cleared out a space, we had fun for a little bit, five hours passed and we were getting ready to eat dinner," remembered Sanchez, a North Lake College student. "I was standing on the side of the river trying to push an inflatable boat to my cousin, Julie. I tried pushing it as far away from me as possible so I could try to take a dive onto it."
What seemed to be a fun idea took a dangerous turn in a matter of seconds. "I took a dive into the floating boat and hit a rock inside the river and that's when it all started."
Sanchez's head hit a rock at the bottom of the river and he had to be rushed by helicopter to a nearby hospital in Oklahoma City, where he was diagnosed with a C-5 spinal cord injury.
A family camping trip had turned into a mother's worst nightmare. Sanchez's mother, Dolores Hernandez, remembers that day well.
"I arrived 20 minutes later to the hospital and the doctors wouldn't let me into his room until I answered a bunch of questions, but all I wanted to do was see my son," she said.
"When I entered his room, he was laying on a bed and with tears running down his face. He told me that the doctors had said that he wasn't able to ever walk again. I couldn't believe it since I had just seen him walk the day before."
C-5 spinal cord injuries can result in total loss of movement and sensation under the point of injury and require intense rehabilitation.
Sanchez spent 15 days in intensive care and later was transported to Our Children's House at Baylor in Oklahoma City where he stayed two months in rehabilitation.
Luckily, Sanchez was not alone in his fight. His mother Dolores has been with him every moment. She has motivated her son to keep on going, despite the odds. He says that he owes everything to her. When doctors said he would never walk again, she didn't give up.
Both Dolores and Vicente knew he needed to continue with his education. After being home-schooled for a year, Sanchez returned to public school and was able to earn the necessary credits to graduate a year early from Nimitz High School, class of 2013.
After graduation, Sanchez realized he wanted to help his family's struggles in America and decided to attend North Lake College to assure a better future for himself and his mother. He is currently taking two classes at NLC and is still undecided on what path he wants to take, but he knows he has to keep on going, with hopes to become an immigration lawyer one day.
Aside from college life, he spends his time playing video games at home. Sanchez describes himself as a friendly person who is not shy to answer questions or talk about his life.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have many friends in college and occasionally suffers from depression, but constantly tells himself, "I have to try to live to see the next morning."
Sanchez requires 24-hour-care. Therefore, Dolores spends all of her time taking care of him. She drives him to NLC and waits for him after every class. Once classes are over, she helps him with different therapy exercises. Dolores spends many hours massaging his arms and hands with the hope that her son will gain full mobility and feeling in his arms. It is something she has done for him since he came home from the hospital. She believes that her massages and prayers have helped him heal to the point that he can attend school.
Because Dolores is Vicente's caretaker, she isn't able to work, which leaves them with great financial struggles. Thankfully, there are great programs like the Blazer Student Store, which has helped them obtain much-needed items, such as food and clothing.
Dolores wants to encourage parents to always be by their children's side and to never give up on them. She said she has seen many kids suffer similar injuries and parents don't care for them.
"I will never give up and see him die on a chair," she said.

Adele Beck with her delightful take on our challenge this month..
I used twine to stitch along the wire the diecut birds are sitting on.
Heya, my name's Adele. I currently live in Utah in the USA, but I'm really from all over. I love to travel, and I've been lucky enough to live in various parts of the US, Chile, Spain and several places in the UK. I'm a linguist by trade, and I've lectured in the UK and the US. I started my PhD, but it's currently on hold. I'm hoping to pick it back up in December, in Australia.
I started scrapping as a Freshman at Uni. I mostly scrap my travels, but 4 years ago, when my first nephew was born, I started keeping his books. In January I got a second nephew, so now I have two boys to scrap.
To see more of Adele's lovely work please see her blog - www.dleebug.wordpress.com.
Here are two more layouts showcasing her work.
Thank you so much for guesting with us on ARTastic this month Adele. Your pages are so full of energy and life. It has been wonderful having you join us.
You still have time until the end of the month to upload your own take on this challenge. We'd love to see what you can do with our inspiration artwork this month.

A Program of the Feminist Majority Foundation
A program of the Feminist Majority Foundation, the National
Center for Women & Policing (NCWP), promotes increasing
the numbers of women at all ranks of law enforcement as a
strategy to improve police response to violence against women,
police brutality and excessive force, and strengthen community
policing reforms.
Twenty years of exhaustive research demonstrates that women
police officers utilize a style of policing that relies less
on physical force, and more on communication skills that
defuse potentially violent situations. Women police
officers are therefore much less likely to be involved in
occurrences of police brutality, and are also much more likely
to effectively respond to police calls regarding violence
against women, which today remain the single largest category
of calls to police agencies nationwide.
Yet despite this compelling research, women are severely
under-represented in police departments, accounting for
only 13.0% of police officers across the country, according
to our latest survey on the status of women in law enforcement.
The numbers of women in law enforcement are kept artificially
low by widespread discriminatory hiring and selection
practices. Keeping women out of policing is not only depriving
women of jobs, but is resulting in more police brutality.
The National Center for Women & Policing has
been working since 1995 to educate criminal justice policy
makers, the media and the public about the impacts of increasing
the representation of women in policing. Our goals include
ensuring that gender is always considered during the analysis
of contemporary policing issues, and that law enforcement
agencies strive for gender balancing their departments.
Op-Ed: How More Female Police Officers Would Help Stop Police Brutality
(Washington Post)
WATCH: FMF's Executive Director on Women in Policing and Defusing Police Violence
Penny Harrington, the former Chief
of the Portland Police Bureau and the first woman chief of a major
U.S. city, founded the National Center for Women & Policing with
Katherine Spillar, Executive Vice President of the Feminist Majority
Foundation, in 1995. Harrington had been instrumental in identifying
and developing strategies to remove the obstacles to hiring more
women in law enforcement, especially in Portland and Los Angeles.
She served as the Director of the NCWP until 2001, and remains an adviser to the program.
Margaret Moore
, the former Assistant Director of the NCWP, and the highest ranking
woman ever to serve in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms,
was appointed as the new Director of the NCWP in 2002 and served until 2012. She continues her work as an adviser to the program.
We produce and disseminate original research on issues
relevant to women in the field of law enforcement. Our publications
and reports are the most authoritative available and
in frequent demand by the news media and criminal justice
policymakers and researchers.
We provide extensive
materials to law enforcement agencies seeking to increase
the representation of women within their ranks.

Quotemykaam makes it easy for you to get the best refrigerator mechanices at your doorstep. You just have to select the required service type and with few clicks you can book the best fridge repair professionals in Sector 41, Noida.
Our experience and skilled refrigerator technicians repair all the major brands of refrigerator such as:
Whirlpool refrigerator repair
LG refrigerator repair
Samsung refrigerator
Panasonic refrigerator
Haier refrigerator
Panasonic refrigerator
Voltas refrigerator
Godrej refrigerator
Videocon refrigerator
Hitachi refrigerator
Time for refrigerator repair depends on the problem. Most repair work takes minimum 20-30 minutes. If in case the problem is not resolved then you will be informed in advance.
That totally depends on the issue. If the issue is minor then the repair will be done at you place otherwise it will be taken.
Only 100% genuine and original refrigerator parts are used for fridge repair.
Our technicians carry almost all the spare parts of the major brands. But if you want then you can also get the parts yourself.
Some of the common fridge problems that require repair are:
Water leaking from refrigerator: Blocked defrost drain is the main cause of water leakage problem in the refrigerator.
Refrigerator not cooling: Faulty thermostat, damaged compressor, defrost timer, damaged condenser fan and inadequate refrigerant level are the reasons for your fridge not cooling properly.
Refrigerator getting too cold: Air flow problem, defrost problem, cold control problem are the causes which makes your refrigerator too cold.
Fridge Compressor not working properly: Compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant and circulating the refrigerant through the condenser and evaporator. So a damaged compressor is the reason for your fridge to not work properly.
Fridge is making noise: If your fridge is making loud noise then condenser motor fan is responsible for it. Air over the condenser coil is circulated by condenser fan in order to remove heat which is produced. Debris gets collected which prevents the condenser fan from moving freely.
Frost formation in the freezer: Keeping the refrigerator door open for too long ends up increasing the humidity level inside the refrigerator which leads to frost formation.
Damaged thermostat: A damaged thermostat will not be able to send start signal to the capacitor and the refrigerator will not turn on.
Soiled condenser coil: If the condenser coil is covered with grime and dirt then it will prevent the heat from dissipating properly and your refrigerator will not work.
Broken MCB (miniature circuit breaker): MCB can also stop the refrigerator from working. If your refrigerator stops working then check MCB.
Damaged refrigerator power outlet: Check the power outlet with some other device such as lamp to see if the power outlet is working properly or not.
The light inside the refrigerator not working: One of the reasons might be that the light bulb inside the refrigerator has reached the end of its lifespan. If you shake the bulb then you will hear the rattling sound which will tell you that the filament are damaged.
Experience: We have a team of experienced, skilled and professional repairman at your service.
Reliable: Our technicians are totally trustworthy and reliable
Flexible scheduling: You can book refrigerator repair service anytime online or over the phone and get it scheduled as per your convenience.
Fast and effective service: Our professional refrigerator technician aim to provide you quick and effective service resolving your issues so that problem doesn't occur again.
This happens due to several reasons:
Faulty Thermostat: A poor thermostat can stop the refrigerator from working properly. In order to make the refrigerator work, thermostat needs to send start signal to the capacitor. If you come across such situation then call the professionals for fridge repair.
Damaged Compressor: A compressor is the most important part which is responsible for the proper functioning of the refrigerator. A damaged compressor can stop the refrigerator from cooling.
The defrost timer: Defrost system is responsible for controlling the cooling and defrost cycle of the refrigerator. The excessive frost gets build-up on the evaporator coil which ends up reducing the air flow.
Damaged condenser fan motor: A condenser fan is responsible for forcing hot air out of the refrigerator. So a faulty condenser fan stops the hot air from getting released in the room and it remains inside the refrigerator. This makes the temperature inside the refrigerator go up.
Inadequate refrigerant level: Restricted refrigerant also affect the cooling inside the refrigerator.
Condenser coil is the most important part of the refrigerator. Here are some of the reasons why you should clean them:
To maintain refrigerator's longetivity and for proper cooling.
Refrigerator releases excess heat in the condenser coil to prevent overheating. If you don't clean it then you might run the risk of overheating which will increase your electricity bill.
First unplug the refrigerator
Use brush to clean the coil so that debris loosens up. You can even use old toothbrush to clean the coils.
With the help of vacuum cleaner's brush attachment clean all the dust from the coil.
In the end plug the refrigerator.
It is recommended to clean the condenser coil every 6 months.
The most common reason for water leakage is blocked defrost drain. Debris block up the drain hose of the refrigerator which leads to ice formation and finally water will come down of the refrigerator.
There are many reasons for refrigerator getting too cold:
Thermostat not set correctly: The first and most important thing that you should do is to check the thermostat setting. An accurate thermostat setting is very important to maintain the right temperature. A temperature between 36 to 39 degree Fahrenheit should be maintained. As temperature above this can end up spoiling the food and the temperature below this can cause freezing.
Defective temperature control thermostat: Thermostat is responsible for controlling the compressor, evaporator fan, condensor fan during the cycle. If the thermosat gets deteriorated then the refigerator will not come to know when to stop or start the cooling. So under such circumstances either the refrigerator may not cool or may cool gradually.
Damaged thermistor: A thermistor is a sensor which is connected to the temperature control thermostat board and is responsible for controlling the air temperature inside the refrigerator. As soon as the temperature inside the refrigerator goes down to a certain level the thermistor immediately gives signal to the thermostat to start up the compressor and start the cooling cycle and same thing happens the other way round. So if a thermistor is defective it will not be able to send signal to the thermostat and the thermostat will not come to know when to start up the compressor.
If you set the refrigerator temperature low then it will not only make your refrigerator work overtime but also spoil and freeze some of your food items.
Damage in condensor fan motor: Damage in condensor fan motor is one of the reason behind refrigerator making noise. In order to remove the heat that gets produced in the process of compression of refrigerant a condensor fan circulates air over the condensor coil. Dirt and debris also prohibits the condensor fan from working properly.
Damaged evaporator fan motor: Damaged evaporator fan motor can also cause your fridge to make loud noise. Evaporator fan is responsible for circulating cool air in the food area. If the evaporator fan blade is damaged or loose then it will end up making loud noise.
Old compressor: If you hear a loud noise then your refrigerator's compressor is at fault. Refrigerator technicians should be called immediately.
Defective defrost timer: A defrost system consists of defrost timer and a defrost heater. Defrost timer is responsible for managing and controlling the cooling and defrost cycle in the refrigerator. A defrost timer is responsible for swapping the refrigerator between cooling and defrost mode. Several times throughout the day the defrost timer turns on the defrost heater in order to melt the frost that gets gathered on the evaporator coil. So a damaged defrost timer will stop the refrigerator from cooling effortlessly.
Damaged defrost heater: A defrost heater is responsible for melting any frost that gets accumulated on the evaporator coil. But if the defrost heater is defective then frost will not melt and the excessive frost will get accumulated on coils and this will end up reducing the cool air flow inside the refrigerator.
Damaged defrost thermostat: Damaged thermostat is also one of the reason for defrost problem in the refrigerator. A defrost heater is lined or connected to defrost thermostat. A defrost thermostat is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coil. When the cooling coils gets cold, signal is immediately send to defrost heater to turn on. So a damaged thermostat will not be able to monitor the temperator of the coils and it will not turn on the defrost heater. If the defrost heater does not turn on then the fridge will not be able to start the defrost cycle.
If you leave the refrigerator door open for too long it will end up raising the humidity level inside the refrigerator which will lead to ice and frost formation.
A damaged seal is also one of the reason for ice build up in the refrigeraor.
The simplest step to prevent the ice formation is not to leave the refrigerator door open for too long. But if you notice that if you open it and it does't close on their own then this could be the reason for ice formation.
The gas that refrigerator leaks are not dangerous at all as it is inflammable and is odorless.
If the refrigerator does't release the gas then it don't need gas refilling. Refrigerator and freezer only needs to be refilled with gas in case of gas leakage problem.
HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane) is used in the refrigerator.
Throw away the rotten food items.
There should be adequate free space in the refrigerator as it will make it easy for the cool air to flow. Not only this, it will also keep the food fresh for longer period of time.
If you see any spilled food in the refrigerator then clean them immediately as this can cause foul smell.
Baking soda has the tendency to absorb any strong odor so it can be kept in the small plastic bottles at the bottom of the refrigerator.
It is recommended not to use bleech for refrigerator cleaning. Bleach contains strong chemical and it can make you fall sick by coming in contact with the food. It is always better to go for natural cleaner.
A clean and well maintained refrigerator will prevent you from falling sick. Food poisoning is something that we have all experienced at least once in our life. So a properly maintained and clean refrigerator will keep it away.

150 years ago today, Texas seceded from the Union. It was the last of the Lower South states to leave. The day following, February 2, 1861, the state's secession convention issued a "Declaration of Causes" to explain its decision.
In all the southern states that chose to explain their act of secession at length–South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, and Texas–slavery figures prominently. This blog will visit the relevant language for the three former states over the course of this month. Today, Civil War and Emancipation shares the passages on slavery in Texas' "Declaration of Causes." They clearly show the centrality of slavery to secession in the Lone Star State.
"She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery–the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits–a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them?"
"The controlling majority of the Federal Government, under various pretences and disguises, has so administered the same as to exclude the citizens of the Southern States, unless under odious and unconstitutional restrictions, from all the immense territory owned in common by all the States on the Pacific Ocean, for the avowed purpose of acquiring sufficient power in the common government to use it as a means of destroying the institutions of Texas and her sister slave-holding States."
"In all the non-slave-holding States, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those States, based upon the unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of the equality of all men, irrespective of race or color–a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of the Divine Law. They demand the abolition of negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and the negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a negro slave remains in these States."
"For years past this abolition organization has been actively sowing the seeds of discord through the Union, and has rendered the federal congress the arena for spreading firebrands and hatred between the slave-holding and non-slave-holding States."
"By consolidating their strength, they have placed the slave-holding States in a hopeless minority in the federal congress, and rendered representation of no avail in protecting Southern rights against their exactions and encroachments."
"They have for years past encouraged and sustained lawless organizations to steal our slaves and prevent their recapture, and have repeatedly murdered Southern citizens while lawfully seeking their rendition."
"They have invaded Southern soil and murdered unoffending citizens, and through the press their leading men and a fanatical pulpit have bestowed praise upon the actors and assassins in these crimes, while the governors of several of their States have refused to deliver parties implicated and indicted for participation in such offences, upon the legal demands of the States aggrieved."
"They have, through the mails and hired emissaries, sent seditious pamphlets and papers among us to stir up servile insurrection and bring blood and carnage to our firesides."
"They have sent hired emissaries among us to burn our towns and distribute arms and poison to our slaves for the same purpose."
"They have impoverished the slave-holding States by unequal and partial legislation, thereby enriching themselves by draining our substance."
"They have refused to vote appropriations for protecting Texas against ruthless savages, for the sole reason that she is a slave-holding State."
"And, finally, by the combined sectional vote of the seventeen non-slave-holding States, they have elected as president and vice-president of the whole confederacy two men whose chief claims to such high positions are their approval of these long continued wrongs, and their pledges to continue them to the final consummation of these schemes for the ruin of the slave-holding States."

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — One of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro's most outspoken critics has become the latest rally cry for opposition protesters after engaging in an armed standoff with security forces Sunday.
Retired army Gen. Angel Vivas sported a flak jacket, assault rifle and handgun as he defiantly addressed dozens of neighbors from the balcony of his home in eastern Caracas.
"I'm not going to surrender," the 57-year-old Vivas yelled to a crowd of cheering followers.
Supporters rushed to Vivas' defense after he announced to his 100,000-plus followers on Twitter that a group of "Cuban and Venezuelan henchmen" had come looking for him. The officers withdrew after the crowd built barricades outside Vivas' house. Vivas' lawyer said they didn't have an arrest order.
Maduro on Saturday ordered Vivas' arrest for allegedly encouraging students to stretch wire across streets where they've set up barricades in recent weeks. The president blames the apparent booby trap for the death of a government supporter who raced into a barricade on a motorcycle.
Vivas, one of the government's fiercest critics in the frequently vicious world of Venezuelan social media, rose to prominence in 2007 when he resigned as head of the Defense Ministry's engineering department rather than order his subalterns to swear to the Cuban-inspired oath "Fatherland, socialism or death."
The standoff Sunday occurred after hundreds of grandparents danced and paraded their way to the presidential palace to express support for Maduro, who is struggling to contain a wave of anti-government protests that have left at least 10 people dead and more than 100 injured.
Speaking at the rally, Maduro invited sectors of the opposition as well religious and labor leaders to participate in a meeting Wednesday to discuss ways to restore calm in Venezuela.
He also said hoped that the opposition's two-time presidential candidate, Henrique Capriles, governor of Miranda state, attends a meeting Monday with local authorities to discuss ways to reduce crime, one of the main drivers of the protests.

While our Easter favourites like chocolate eggs, hot-cross buns and our morning hit of coffee are delicious to us humans, they are just a few types of food and drinks that are important to keep away from our pets to ensure they are safe, happy and healthy.
Pets and Chocolate
For several days during the Easter period, it is not uncommon to find chocolate around the household, with plenty of parties, family functions, celebrations and of course the age old favourite – The Easter Egg Hunt. Keeping this in mind, it's important to plan ahead this year to avoid any nasty surprises, including consumption of chocolate by our dogs and other unfavourable food and drinks including caffeine, alcohol and tobacco that can have a potentially deadly effect on your pets.
Although delicious to us humans, chocolate unfortunately contains a chemical compound called theobromide and is toxic to our furry friends. Therefore it is important to keep chocolate out of reach and to avoid hiding Easter eggs close to the ground if your dog is on the prowl! Remind your children and guests not to feed the dog any type of chocolate or toxic foods. Better yet? Keep your pets in a separate area while entertaining so there is no chance for a sneaky snack on an Easter egg.
If your pet does manage to eat chocolate, it is important to stay calm and contact a Vet immediately. There is a window of approximately 15 to 60 minutes after ingestion that a Veterinarian may be able to successfully flush the chocolate from the dog's stomach.
If you're worried that your dog has eaten chocolate, the key symptoms to look out for include:
Hyperactivity (restlessness, muscle twitching)
Inappetance and excessive thirst
Even if there are no signs or symptoms, don't hesitate to get in touch with your Vet for a thorough examination as this could save your dog's life.
What else not to feed
Caffeine, macadamia nuts, grapes, onion and garlic
While chocolate is at the top of the list, caffeine is also highly toxic for dogs and can cause damage to the heart, lungs, kidneys and central nervous system and produce hyperactivity, vomiting and restlessness, much similar to the effects of eating chocolate.
Common snack foods like grapes and macadamia nuts should also be kept away from dogs, including dried grapes like raisins and sultanas of which can produce vomiting, diarrhoea, decreased urine production, weakness and loss of appetite typically about 24 hours of ingestion.
Common cooking ingredients like garlic and onions in all forms including raw, cooked and powder variations can be toxic to our dogs if eaten in significant amounts, with garlic and onions creating hemolytic anemia, which destroys the red blood cells in the body. Symptoms include an increased heartbeat, pale gums, vomiting, diarrhoea and blood in the urine requiring urgent treatment.
Alcohol & Tobacco
Alcohol is extremely toxic to dogs, with drunkenness causing serious cardiac issues. Symptoms of intoxication include depression, staggering, excitement and or decreased reflexes. Ingestion of cigarette butts from the ground or ashtrays can also cause adverse digestive and nervous system consequences.
Avocado, apple seeds, plum stones, cherry pips, peach and apricot seeds
Potato peelings, green potatoes, rhubarb leaves
Wandering Jew plant
Bulbs (including daffodils, onions and snowdrops)
Easter is a great time to relax with friends and family and enjoy good food and drinks, just keep an eye out for your pets during the upcoming festive season.
If you suspect that your dog has ingested any of the above, please contact your Veterinarian immediately.

Kimmel petition nets 100K signatures
A White House petition reached 100,000 signatures before its 30-day deadline on Wednesday, the first to reach the threshold requiring a White House response in months.
Was it about Obamacare, NSA surveillance, Benghazi, the budget or any of the other news stories dominating the day? No, it was about Jimmy Kimmel.
The petition, started in late October, criticizes a sketch on Kimmel's ABC show that featured children answering his questions on topics including the national debt. One child responded to a question about how the U.S. should pay back all the debt it owes China by suggesting Americans kill everyone in China.
"The kids might not know anything better. However, Jimmy Kimmel and ABC's management are adults. They had a choice not to air this racist program, which promotes racial hatred. The program is totally unacceptable and it must be cut. A sincere apology must be issued. It is extremely distasteful and this is the same rhetoric used in Nazi Germany against Jewish people," the petition reads.
( Watch more POLITICO Playback)
Amid mounting criticism, Kimmel and ABC have apologized for the sketch.
The petition needed 100,000 signatures by Nov. 18 to merit a response, according to White House petition guidelines, and it did so with 12 days to spare. As of Thursday morning, the petition had more than 101,000 signatures.
The White House raised the threshold to 100,000 from 25,000 in January after petitions, including building a Death Star and deporting Piers Morgan, reached the required number of responses.
As for the Kimmel petition, a White House spokesman said if and when the administration decides to respond, it will be posted online like other responses.
( PHOTOS: 11 notable White House petitions)
The issue has attracted overseas attention. The petition was mentioned in the South China Morning Post in October. While signatures to petitions often include location, many of the Kimmel signatures don't.

Here are the instructions for downloading JDK (Java Development Kit) and the JCreator IDE (Integrated Development Environment). You may prefer to download JDK as a step in the downloading of JCreator. Both of these programs are free.
The JDK bundle, also called the Java SE (Standard Edition) contains among other things, the java compiler (javac) which produces java bytecode. It also contains the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which executes the bytecode, i.e., runsinterprets the java byte code for your platform
We say that JCreator is a "thin layer" above the JDK. This means that it does not contain the compiler or the interpreter (it points to JDK); but it will enable you to compile, debug and run your programs by chosing menu options. For instance, if you make a compilation error, JCreator displays the error messages in a separate window. When you double click a given error message, JCreator will point to the offending line in your program. This is very helpful, especially for long programs.
Both of these programs are downloaded in zipped form. In order to unzip them you need WINZIP. If you don't have it, download it from http://www.winzip.com/downauto.cgi?winzip80.exe.
If for some reason, you haven't pointed JCreator to the JDK, do the following:

Connor Garcia Whitehill made a bold prediction last spring, before the baseball season even started. He didn't just put it in writing – he put it on YouTube.
The 14-year-old from Oakland, California, said the Chicago Cubs would make it to the World Series, and win for the first time in 108 years, against the Cleveland Indians.
Why was he so confident in his prediction? Statistics.
"The fun thing about statistics is that they help you to understand the world around you, be it baseball, politics or just numbers in general," he said.
Fun? Many people would say statistics are useful, but most wouldn't say fun.
But math is one of Connor's favorite things. So he decided to combine it with two other passions – video and baseball – when he tackled his eighth grade project.
With the help of a couple of dedicated math teachers at Berkeley's Black Pine Circle School, he created a spreadsheet with formulas that analyzed MLB statistics and gave each team a number to predict its final ranking in each division.
Of course, the Cubs came into the season strong. It doesn't take a crystal ball or statistics to say they would have a good season.
But Connor called the winners of four out of six divisions.
"The more surprising thing to me was the Cleveland Indians, and that actually made me doubt my metric a little bit," he said.
His analysis failed him in the West divisions. Maybe his love for the Giants led him astray.
"I think they were unlucky. They should've won," he said ruefully.
His dad, Bob Whitehill, helped him edit the video and suggested he read "Moneyball," the Michael Lewis book that documented how the 2002 Oakland Athletics rethought baseball's conventions to field a winning team on a budget.
His mom, Ingrid Aguirre Happoldt, forwarded the video Connor made to friends and family across the country.
Then, when Connor's predicted teams won the pennants, they started calling and texting.
"They're saying, 'Didn't Connor predict the Cubs and the Indians? Did it really work out that way?' So it's been fun to see that the predictions he made have come to pass," she said.
She's grateful that her son has the opportunity to plan and execute a long-term project over the course of several months.
"He was eager to be done with the video editing part by the end of it," she said. "He's getting a big confidence boost from this."
Her son is now taking geometry at Bishop O'Dowd High School.
He calls his metric, "The Connor Curve." There are only a few more games until his statistical analysis is tested by real life.

Phil Mickelson vs Tiger Woods 2020: The Match Charity Champions goes down at 3 p.m. on Sunday 24 May. ET at Florida's Medalist Golf Club. The charity event will feature four of last 50 years' greatest sports names. Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning will be on one team and they will face Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady against each other.
Charity Champions On Sunday, Tiger will team up with NFL legend Peyton Manning to take on Mickelson and six-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady in The Match: Champions for Charity at the Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla.
How to watch The Match: Champions for Charity
Date: Sunday, May 24 | Start time: 3 p.m. ET
Course: Medalist Golf Club — Hobe Sound, Florida
Format: Match play — Best ball on front nine, alternate shot on back nine
Broadcast team: Brian Anderson, Charles Barkley, Trevor Immelman, Justin Thomas, Amanda Balionis
TV: TNT, TBS, truTV, HLN
Live stream: fuboTV (Try for free)
Pre-match live stream: Bleacher Report
Get ready for some epic trash talk.Tiger and Phil squared off in the first edition of The Match back on Nov. 23, 2018 in Las Vegas, with Mickelson winning on the fourth extra hole.
Now the two championship golfers will be joined by two champion quarterbacks. The Match: Champions for Charity goes down on Sunday, May 24 at 3 p.m. ET at Medalist Golf Club in Florida. The charity event will feature four of the biggest sports names of the last 50 years. Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning will be on one team, and they will face off against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.
This represents the second consecutive Sunday that live golf will be on television following last week's match at Seminole Golf Club featuring Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson against Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff. Medalist will likely be a bit tougher than what Seminole was without the wind blowing, which could prove problematic for Manning and Brady.
Regardless of the quality of the golf, the cause is a great one. There has been $10 million pledged from WarnerMedia and the golfers themselves with more likely to be raised during the actual event. That money will go to benefit places like Direct Relief, American Red Cross, Save Small Business and the ALL In Challenge.
The match will feature interesting one-off competitions like the one-club challenge, which will take place on the fifth hole. Charles Barkley (!) and Justin Thomas (!!) will be involved in the telecast. Here's a primer about the rules, format and more about the event.
It's not the golf we thought we were going to get to kick-start the summer on the day before Memorial Day, but it's maybe as good as we could have hoped for after a two-month pause on pro golf on the PGA Tour. It also might be a harbinger for Woods and Mickelson as they execute busy schedules over the course of the rest of 2020, which will feature three major championships and a Ryder Cup.
And for the second straight week, a lump sum in the millions will be raised for a terrific cause as Woods, Mickelson, Brady and Manning do their part to help defeat the virus that has created the weirdest season of professional sports (and culture) of any of our lifetimes.

Wayside lubrication systems
Lubrication systems for gauge face lubrication and top-of-rail conditioning
In wayside lubrication systems passing trains are detected by track-mounted wheel sensors. The applied lubricant is picked up by passing wheels, which carry the lubricant through the up-coming curve(s).
High-pressure, low-volume pumps effectively cover the rail with just enough lubricant, minimizing pollution. Regardless of serving drilled lubrication holes or applicators which get clamped to the rail, SKF's technologies enable exact metering of grease. It helps to ensure each lube port receives the same small amount of grease every time, automatically.
The systems are capable of pumping long distances, as well as high-viscosity lubricants. Dual-track systems and customized solutions are available.
Wayside lubrication systems deliver small, measured amounts of lubricant precisely when needed, when the train is passing. This approach increases system reliability and reduces lubricant consumption.
The major applications include:

Dr. Edward Sites has devoted his entire career of nearly 50 years to child welfare practice, education and research, the last 41 years of which have been as a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work where Dr. Sites was a full professor from 1978 until his retirement in 2006. He was the coordinator of the School's Child, Youth and Family concentration and the coordinator of the Child Welfare Certificate Program.
Another area of specialization for Dr. Sites has been his expertise and teaching in the area of grant proposal writing. He is a consummate grant proposal writer and was the principal investigator on at least one federal, state or foundation funded grant project every year from 1971 until 2006. He taught grant proposal writing for over 30 years to graduate students from throughout the schools and departments of the University. At his retirement, he was the principal investigator of 9 projects and programs with total annual budgets of over $30 million and a state-wide staff of nearly 100 faculty and professional staff. These projects included research, degree and training programs in collaboration with 16 universities, and provided over 35,000 days of training annually to 4,000 public child welfare employees and 9,000 foster parents in all of Pennsylvania's 67 counties as well as baccalaureate and master's degree programs for hundreds of child welfare workers annually. Dr. Sites has not only written hundreds of proposals, but has been a proposal reviewer for the federal government, state agencies, foundations, universities and private agencies. Currently Dr. Sites serves on the board of a foundation and is engaged in institutional advancement work in higher education.

Questions to ask before writing your proposal:
- Is this project one in which the author and his/her agency has sufficient interest to pursue to the finish?
- If funded, will the staff be able to handle this new project with their other work?
- Is the author sufficiently skilled to plan, organize, direct, coordinate, control and evaluate the project? (Keep in mind here that when I say author, I am assuming the author will become the project director, though sometimes proposals are written for hire by proposal writers not expected to be involved in the project if the proposal is funded.)
- Are the project goals and objectives sufficiently congruent with those of the parent organization?
- Will the parent organization back the project with administrative and other supports?
- Are adequate facilities, equipment release time, etc. available?
- What risks to the author and organization are there and are these reasonable?
- Who are you and what qualifies you to present this proposal?
- What is the problem you seek to address?
- Have you identified the need?
- What do you propose to do about that problem?
- How exactly will you go about this and what exactly will you deliver?
- How much will it cost?
- How will you know if you have accomplished your goals and objectives?
- What objective evidence is there of the nature, purpose and capacity of you and your organization and what do other qualified parties think of your idea, your approach to addressing it and your organization?

A federal judge in California refused on Tuesday to postpone a worldwide injunction issued last week blocking enforcement of the Defense Department's "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning gays from serving openly in the military.
US District Judge Virginia Phillips said the government had failed to prove the injunction would disrupt military operations or undercut readiness.
Instead, she said the don't ask, don't tell policy itself undercuts military efficiency. The judge said it also irreparably injures service members by violating their fundamental rights.
The action sets the stage for an expanding national battle over gay rights in the federal courts on issues ranging from receipt of federal benefits, to gay marriage, to service in the armed forces.
"[The government has] not shown … a likelihood [it] will suffer irreparable harm," Judge Phillips wrote in a six-page decision rejecting the requested stay. "The injunction requires [the government] to cease investigating and discharging service members pursuant to the Act. It does not affect [the government's] ability to revise [its] policies and regulations nor to develop training and education programs."
Government lawyers had asked Judge Phillips to stay her ruling invalidating the don't ask, don't tell policy to allow enough time to appeal the case to the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals.
With the judge's refusal, the government is expected to ask the Ninth Circuit to issue its own stay. Failing that, the stay issue could be presented to the US Supreme Court.
In the meantime, the Defense Department has agreed to suspend its enforcement of the policy. The Pentagon's undersecretary for personnel and readiness, Clifford Stanley, said in a memo that openly gay recruits are now free begin the process of joining the military.
He did caution, however, that gay recruits should be told what could happen later because "a certain amount of uncertainty now exists about the future of the 'don't ask, don't tell' law."
It is unclear what might happen if the judge's ruling is overturned on appeal and the don't ask, don't tell policy is reinstated.
Judge dismisses Pentagon claims
Government lawyers had warned Phillips that the injunction would cause irreparable harm to the country, disrupting ongoing military operations and undermining military readiness, combat effectiveness, and morale.
Lawyers challenging don't ask, don't tell, responded that ending the policy would actually improve morale and increase military readiness, cohesion, and combat effectiveness.
"The injunction does not require the military to do anything affirmatively," wrote Dan Woods in a brief on behalf of Log Cabin Republicans, a gay-rights group that sued to overturn the policy.
"It does not order the military to redesign its barracks, to retool its pay scales, [or] to re-ordain its chaplains," Mr. Woods said. "The court's injunction requires only one thing: to cease investigating and discharging honorable, patriotic, brave fighting men and women for reasons unrelated to their performance and military ability."
At the White House earlier Tuesday, spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters that the don't ask, don't tell policy would end during the Obama administration regardless of the California court case.
"The president believes that it is unjust, discriminatory, and that it harms our national security," Mr. Gibbs said. But he added that the administration wants to establish a process for an orderly transition.
The case, Log Cabin Republicans v. United States of America, puts the Obama administration in a difficult position of having to defend a law that it is simultaneously trying to repeal.
Obama in a tough spot
The don't ask, don't tell policy is rooted in a 1993 statute passed by Congress. The administration is obligated to defend the nation's laws from constitutional challenges, but it also has the authority to seek to amend or repeal those same laws.
Both the president and Defense Secretary Robert Gates have expressed their view that the don't ask, don't tell policy should be repealed. But they say the change should take place gradually.
A defense department review is underway with a final report and recommendations due Dec. 1. An effort in Congress to repeal the measure passed the House of Representatives, but bogged down recently in the Senate.
Gibbs said the administration will seek to revive Senate consideration of the measure later this year. Even that would not lead to immediate repeal.
The proposed legislation provides that the policy will remain in effect until new policies and regulations have been drawn up at the Defense Department, and administration officials have certified that the new policies and regulations will not hurt military effectiveness or readiness.
The Ninth Circuit has already docketed the government's full appeal of Phillips's ruling and injunction. The opening brief is due in late January, with the deadline for the response in late February.

text: The First World Wide Traveling Tattoo Conference: Free Ticket Giveaway By Gabe Ripley Guy Aitchison Seminar: "The Extra Mile Is Never Crowded- A Few Extra Things You Can Do To Make Your Work Stand Out" Included as part of the Worldwide Tattoo Conference educational program, $800 for 6 2-hour classes (see event description for more information). Free ticket giveaway: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dENTeUV2QTJfdE1VMXBOMWo0S1JOclE6MQ I get emails all the time from other tattooers wanting to know how I created my signature look. They often ask what they think are the most obvious questions: Whose machines am I using? What needle type? What brand of pigment? And although I will gladly answer these questions, these are not the kinds of answers that will lead you to a breakthrough in your work; machines and pigments are essential to your working technique, but there are many, many correct answers to those questions- basically, just be sure to buy high quality supplies from reputable suppliers. The real answers to these questions are much subtler and more complex. I'm happy to answer them- but these are complex answers that require a lot more time and many more words and pictures to get the point across. At the upcoming Worldwide Tattoo Conference in Chicago from April 10-11, I'll be doing just that, and my focus will be on pointing out a few small extra things that you can do to really make a visible difference in your work. The bottom line is this: How hard are you willing to work to make your tattooing stand out- are you willing to put in a little extra effort that the competition across the street can't make time for? I'll be discussing a handful of simple but revolutionary ideas that you can put to work in your design, stenciling and application processes to make your work smoother, sharper, deeper and more eye-catching. If you are the kind of artist willing to spend a few days taking classes that aren't required, you may already be the type willing to go the extra mile with your tattooing, and we will take this opportunity to talk about how to get the most bang for your buck with that extra effort. "The Extra Mile Is Never Crowded" is being offered alongside seminars by Nick Baxter, Jeff Gogue, Bob Tyrrell, Alex De Pase and Boris Laszlo, all for an amazing package deal of only $800 per person! During the final discussion panel all the artist will join the conference participants to discuss the tattoo world. WWTC is a unique event, never proposed before, do not miss the opportunity to improve the techniques and to compare with the most renowned tattoo artists in the world!

As Americans tune into the Olympics to cheer on Team USA, President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama shared their favorite memories from the games in a video posted on The White House Facebook page.
Laughing as they interviewed each other, the "life-long, die-hard" Olympic fans also shared the sports they would compete in if they could. The video was posted Monday evening and had more than 4.4 million views a day later.
The first lady talked about watching the Olympic games growing up, recounting how her entire neighborhood would watch the games every night, "an event" that would "take over life."
U.S. & World
She said she always loves watching the gymnastics competitions.
"They are phenomenal," Michelle Obama said. "If I could flip like that, I would do it in a heartbeat."
Asked what he most enjoys watching, the president said he thinks the gymnastics events are "spectacular" but finds them too tense.
"Anything involving your head pointing down is not something I do," he said. "I'm like, 'She's going to fall!' It makes me too tense."
Instead, the president said his favorite event to watch is the 200-meter dash, and that his favorite Olympian was Jessie Owens.
"Not only being the fastest man in the world, but you're doing it in front of the Nazis," Obama said. "Sending a clear signal about what America stands for, the equality of all human beings. Pretty powerful stuff."
The first family is skipping the Rio Games, choosing instead to spend their time on vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Secretary of State John Kerry is leading the U.S. presidential delegation to Rio.
President Obama has skipped every Olympic Games during his time in office. The first lady lead the U.S. delegation to the 2012 London Olympics and Vice President Joe Biden represented the White House at both winter Olympics of their tenure, Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi in 2014.
"Bring home the gold," Obama said in a message for Team USA. "Red, white and blue! Proud of you guys. Thanks for everything, I know you guys have been training very hard and you guys are going to do great."
