The days are just going by too quickly! Is Christmas really over?! Is it really almost 2012? Ahhh!
We had a great, busy, fun and exhausting Christmas. The morning didn't go quite as I'd envisioned, waking up to a baby covered in vomit isn't fun, but after a quick bath we were able to get back on track and the kids had a blast opening gifts here at home in the morning. Well, Mayer opened most of the gifts and handed them out since J & B weren't able/willing to do much unwrapping yet. :)
After breakfast and getting dressed we headed next door to my parents house to continue the tradition of watching them open their gifts on Christmas morning.
We went from my parents house to Keith's moms house where we had lunch and another gift exchange. I forgot to take pictures at his moms house but the kids had so much fun playing with their many cousins and Jovia of course, was very happy to be eating. :)
After lunch at Keith's moms house we came home for a quick nap for everyone and to bake rolls for dinner. We were dragging by 430 when we went to my grandfathers house for our families Christmas dinner but we were quickly revived and ready for the next round of food and fun. We had a yummy dinner, the kids all had a blast and we exchanged "family gifts" this year, a gift to be used by the whole family. That was fun. By 630 we headed home, got everyone ready for bed and collapsed soon after. It was a whirlwind but I'm so grateful for such an amazing, close and loving family!

From Huffington Post
Every year, there are a few items of clothing that become hot. For example, last fall, a Zara coat seemed to become a "must have" item. The coat even had its own Instagrampage with more than 8,000 followers. Many factors contribute to this phenomenon like celebrities — and people with large social media followings — wearing the "hot" item.
When we have detailed social media data, it is relatively easy to identify patterns of influence to predict these trends. But what happens when we don't have social media data? After all, social media platforms charge tremendous fees for access to that information. Can we use traditional data to detect underlying trends between groups of consumers and improve demand estimation? If so, can we use that information to optimize personalized promotions to increase profits, and also to present "the right individual with the right item at the right price?"
In a recent study, I looked at these questions with MIT Operations Research Center PhD students Lennart Baardman and Tamar Cohen and collaborators from Oracle Retail. We found that the answer to both questions is: yes. We began our study by building a customer demand model and algorithm that incorporates customer-to-customer trends or influences. We then applied the information about customer demand to make promotion decisions. With this method, profits increased between 5-12%. The model can be used by any retailer of any size for any product.

WESTFIELD, Mass. – Westfield State women's basketball spotted Salem State a 17-0 lead out of the gate, but the Owls came roaring back behind 28 points from Kierra McCarthy (Ludlow, Mass.) and 24 from Melissa Gray (Peabody, Mass.) as the Owls posted a 93-69 win in Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference play at the Woodward Center on Saturday afternoon.
The Owls, missing leading scorer Lucy Barrett (Williamstown, Mass.) with an injury, and coming off an emotional last second win at Framingham on Wednesday, did not score in the first five minutes of the game. Salem countered with the first 17 points of the game before Westfield's Allison Hester (Sutton, Mass.) netted a steal and layup with 4:47 left in the first quarter. Salem led 29-20 at the end of the first, but the Owls grabbed the lead for good in the middle of the second quarter, and led 49-42 at the half.
McCarthy, who was honored in the pregame ceremonies for having scored her 1,000th career point, finished today 10-19 from the floor, 5-7 from three point range, and grabbed seven rebounds and seven steals. Gray added 24 points, eight rebounds and eight steals, while Hester chipped in 12 points, five steals and three assists. Chelsea Moussette (Hampshire/Southampton, Mass.) dished out six assists for the owls.
Salem was led by senior center Kia Fernandes (Wareham, Mass.), who dominated play in the paint with 10 points and 18 rebounds, including 12 offensive boards. Tyra Scott (Methuen, Mass.) added 12 points and Katie Wallace (Peabody, Mass.) 10.
Westfield won its 25th straight conference home game at the Woodward Center. The Owls forced 46 turnovers from Salem and Westfield finished with 27 steals, and moved the ball to the tune of 24 assists on 35 baskets. Westfield connected on 12 of 29 (41.4 pct.) three point tries.
Westfield State improves to 10-7 overall and 4-0 in the MASCAC. Salem State is now 2-15 overall and 0-5 in conference play.
Westfield will be back in action on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. with a home game against Fitchburg State at the Woodward Center.
Salem will host MCLA on Tuesday.

Ketchikan, Alaska (PRWEB) November 30, 2011
For LaDonna Gundersen, author of Salmon Desserts & Friends (paperback, 135 pages, $18.95), catching, cooking and eating salmon is her passion. A California girl, she got hooked on Alaska, fishing and husband Ole (not necessarily in that order!) more than twenty years ago and has never looked back. As chief deck hand and galley cook on the LaDonna Rose, their 32-foot commercial fishing vessel based in Ketchikan, Alaska, she's responsible for all their meals. These are often prepared on the fly, on a rocking and rolling boat, in a tiny 4x7 foot galley (kitchen). Yet she refuses to stock the galley with 'heat and eat' pre-prepared foods and instead has become adept at serving up scrumptious, inventive, quick and easy-to-prepare salmon dishes. During the summer season, Ole and LaDonna eat salmon five times a week, sometimes twice a day. These meals form the basis for the newly released Salmon, Desserts & Friends. The pages of the cookbook are filled with creative yet simple recipes fit for land and sea. The book is accompanied by gorgeous photos taken by Ole of the dishes, Alaskan scenery and the commercial fishing lifestyle.
There are no supermarkets at sea, nor gourmet grocery stores in Ketchikan. So LaDonna's recipes focus on simple and easy-to-find ingredients. However that doesn't mean giving up on taste or that the recipes are all mayonnaise or cream cheese. Hazelnut-Encrusted Wild Salmon Fillets, Seared Salmon with Wild Blueberry Salsa, Cranberry-Almond Salmon Sandwich or Sesame Roasted Salmon with Sweet and Spicy Rhubarb Sauce will delight the foodies in any crowd.
During the fishing season mealtimes can be unpredictable as there's no stopping when the fish are biting. So Gundersen offers up a section on 'Mug Ups' – a little bite to hold you over until the next big meal. These are simple yet impressive enough to be served as an hors d'oeuvre at a dinner party. Mug Up recipes include: Salmon Party Roll, Mini Salmon and Herb Quiches, Soft Spring Rolls with Smoked Salmon and Fresh Basil and Salmon Salad Wonton Cups. And of course no meal would be complete without dessert so LaDonna has included some of her favorite recipes including Banana Cream Pie with Peanut Butter Cookie Crust (this makes Ole swoon), Sweet Potato Pecan Pie and Chocolate Mocha Baked Alaska.
When in Ketchikan, the Gundersens are often stopped by bewildered tourists asking how to cook their just-purchased canned or smoked salmon. So Salmon, Desserts & Friends includes more than 24 recipes using canned salmon. There's also an informative guide (complete with photos of fish caught by the Gundersens) to understanding, selecting and enjoying wild Pacific salmon, including a section on catching methods and sustainability.
About the author
In addition to being a commercial fisherwoman and cookbook author, LaDonna has also been a professional baker. As owner and operator of the Viking Ave Deli and Bakery in Poulsbo, Washington, she taught herself how to make a dessert look so luscious you gained two pounds just looking at it. She also opened wholesale bread, pie and pastry accounts that included Barnes and Noble and several local restaurants.
After several short years she gave up her bakery for the love and adventure of the Alaskan lifestyle and has never looked back. Most recently she was guest on Ketchikan's KPU Celebrity Chef and a celebrity judge at Ketchikan's Top Chef 2011.
The Gundersens have just finished the summer fishing season and are in the lower 48 for the winter–residing in Florence, Oregon–and available for interviews and appearances.

Have you ever been in a situation where you have the potential yet you do not have enough resources to make it realizable? Well, most of us have probably experienced that even in our day-to-day activities. The same situation also happens in the business world. Some people have these project proposals but they do not have funds to build it.
If you are an entrepreneur or someone who wants to excel in business, you need to come with extraordinary ideas as well as overflowing confidence that you will succeed. The most common practice is through investment. This is quite common between business proposals because it provides an array of benefits to everyone involved.
A proposal example is a written document that provides a detailed information of a project, its value, and the potential benefits that come with the idea of investing on it. It is written with the main objective of persuading writing potential investors to join or support a project under management agreements and business arrangements.
One of the things you have to remember when making an investment proposal is that you need financial support for your project. You have to convince your target client that your project has a great relevance as well as beneficial to them.
A capital investment proposal is a written document that is given to prospected clients in order to gain or acquire investment funds in order to pursue or further a business. It focuses on the objective of securing a reasonable amount of money to start or continue, whichever comes first, a business plan that is expected to flourish and provide a considerable possibility of profit and return of investment.
This is usually practiced by those who are starting a business but do not have enough funds or financial capacity. It is then sent to investors like banks, big corporations, and financing firms.
Waiting for the result after an investment proposal is much harder than writing it. So, before you dive into the thrills of the waiting game, make sure you know what you are doing.

Sony Style Canada is offering their high quality SD cards for sale. You can choose from Class 4 or Class 10, from 2 gig up to 32 gig in size.
The best discount for the Class 10 range is the 8GB Class 10 SDHC Memory Carddiscounted to $27.99, originally $69.99. That is 60% off. The best deal for the Class 4 range is the 16GB SDHC Memory Card discounted to $37.99, originally $89.99 (58% off).
My current 8 gig SD card has decided to no longer work: it won't delete photos off its memory (even when it shows them all deleted), and it doesn't read properly. I figure that maybe it is time to invest in a good quality SD Card for my valuable photos as I would hate to return home from vacation to not be able to access photos on a faully SD card. That is why I decided to see what Sony had, and was happily surprised that they were on sale. I think I will be getting the 8gig Class 10.

Confession time…this is not my recipe. This "recipe" actually comes from "The Belly" aka Craig. This is his absolute favorite way to cook brats and sausages of any kind. Of course he didn't actually do the cooking on this, I did, but he did do a whole lot of eating of this. I'm pretty sure I couldn't outdo this chicken sausage recipe if I tried. Can it really get any tastier than braising meat in a bath of beer and onions then crisping it up on the grill? I don't think so.
I recently received a nice care package of Farmer John Hot Louisiana Brand Chicken Smoked Sausage. Can you think of a better care package than a big box of meat? Of course I had to wrestle my dog for it…but that's another story. Farmer John is a Southern California company better known for its pork than chicken, so I was definitely intrigued.
They told me to have some fun with it and see what I thought about the new product. Um….play in the kitchen, test out a new product and it's meat? Sure! I've been asked to do worse things. LOL I'll admit that I had quite a bit of fun and my friends and neighbors are all sitting around with really full bellies of this Hot Louisiana Brand Chicken Smoked Sausage.
Yes, the package says "hot," but this chicken sausage isn't mouth numbing, not even close. There's a nice little bite that works great with the smoky flavor. The whole smoke and spice package that's going on in this sausage is greatly complimented by the beer and onions that you cook it in. Oh, I should mention that this chicken sausage is already cooked (so you're not dealing with raw chicken meat).
Something else that you may find of interest is they are also gluten free (which is something I recently learned was not necessarily a given when it comes to sausages – learn something new everyday). For more nutritional information on this chicken sausage, you can visit this page on the Farmer John website.
I am completely aware that the above photo is not that spectacular. Don't let the looks of this deceive you though. You don't have to have greasy fatty bratwurst to have a terrific sausage, onions and peppers sandwich. Doing the long slow sausage braise in a good brown ale, along with piles of onions infuses the meat with more great flavors. Removing the sausage from the pan and reducing the liquid to a thick glaze turns those onions into a golden pile of sweetness that's a great compliment to the smoke and spice in this chicken sausage recipe. For a bit more sweetness and flavor, I toss a bunch of those mini sweet bell peppers onto the grill when I toss the sausages onto the grill to crisp them up.
The final sandwich is a flat bread loaded with a good spicy and grainy mustard followed by a bunch of the peppers (just pull off the tops and most of the seeds will come with it), a Farmer John Louisiana Hot Louisiana Brand Smoked Chicken Sausage and a giant tangle of those onions. YUM! This is a perfect recipe to help savor those last remaining warm days or break this out in the middle of winter to help you remember that summer is coming.
If you want to see more Farmer John products or learn more about the company, you can visit their website.
Oh, and I've got a little surprise for you…. How about a giveaway of some of these delicious sausages?
I've got 5 $4 Farmer John product coupons to give away to 5 lucky readers. Unfortunately, these sausages aren't available everywhere yet. 🙁 But you can get them at Amazon.com and lots of retailers in California, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii.
To win one of these coupons, simply tell me how you plan to cook them up. Grill 'em, toss them into a pasta salad, top a pizza…what's it going to be. I'll pick the 5 lucky winners at 5pm (PST) on Friday the 13th. (Who says that's an unlucky day?) You'll have 72 hours to respond to my e-mail (email@example.com). If I don't hear back from you, I'll award another winner. Sound good? Now what are you going to make?
- 2 Large White Onions (sliced into rings)
- 8 Farmer John Hot Louisiana Brand Chicken Smoked Sausage
- 3 Bottles Brown Ale (I used Newcastle)
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
- Place 9x13 baking pan onto a half sheet pan or other edged baking sheet.
- Evenly spread onions into pan.
- Add sausages to pan, leaving a bit of room between each one, and poke 3-4 sets of holes into each one (use a fork for this).
- Carefully pour beer over everything in the pan (pour slowly so you don't have to wait for a huge wall of foam to subside).
- Cover pan with foil and slide into oven to bake for 2 hours.
- Carefully remove pan from oven.
- Remove sausages from pan and set them on a plate.
- The pan of beer and onions can either be reduced on the grill or on the stove top. Just make sure that the pan you use can handle that task. If you're unsure, pour the beer and onions into a large saucepan.
- Place that pan over high heat and reduce until you have a pile of onions with very little liquid left. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Fire up the grill or a grill pan.
- Once hot, drop the chicken sausage onto the grates and grill until crisped and there are nice grill marks.
- Serve.

Seeing as you're currently reading this article, I'm guessing you've noticed Lessing-Flynn has a new website. After months of planning, development and testing, we launched the all-new LessingFlynn.com in late March, and we've got to say we're pretty dang proud. Sure, there will be an adjustment period as we weed out the few remaining technical bugs (this happens with any new site), but in the meantime the LF digital team has been having a blast using the new site as a their virtual playground to incorporate all the latest technologies, trends and tools.
To give you a better idea of what we've done, let's take a closer look at some of the major components that went into the new LessingFlynn.com.
The final design of our website is the product of dozens of hours of careful planning, research and testing. Of course, we covered all the standards like responsive design, page speed optimization and SEO best practices. Pretty much every element on every page of the website was scrutinized to make sure it not only functioned properly, but it makes for a good user experience. When we were initially planning our structure there were three main capabilities that we made a priority to implement:
- Navigation/Menu — We went through several iterations of our primary navigation menu before we settled on our current design. We tried hamburgers. We tried drop downs. We even tried sliders. But in the end, we thought the (semi-classic) navigation bar would work best to keep things simple while helping users find what they need quickly.
- Forms — Forms can be tricky. How much information is enough? How many fields should you have? Where should they go? We did a lot of user experience research and there's a ton of conflicting information out there. However, we leaned heavily on our own years of experience to stick to the tried-and-true "the simpler, the better" way of thinking. You'll notice none of our forms are more than a handful of fields with the goal of increasing conversions and engagement.
- Video — Video on the web is already big and if predictions prove to be true, it's only going to get much, much bigger and more important in the years to come. That's why we made it a focus of our new website, even adding our brand video front and center above the fold at the top of our homepage. In the coming months, expect to see even more video throughout our website. We have a pretty great video production team here at LF, so we want to be sure to continue showing off that amazing talent.
Let's get down to the nuts and bolts — what did we use to build our new site and why? Great question. Let's take a look at the technology behind the scenes, see how it helps and why we chose it:
- WordPress — Over the nearly two decades the LF website has been around, it's been built with and lived on a number of platforms and content management systems. The previous version of our website was built on a proprietary CMS. We weighed the pros and cons as well as costs but ended up going open-source with WordPress. Without going too in-depth, the decision ultimately came down to wanting ownership and control. Though proprietary systems are great in some cases, we wanted to ability to move our site and content around if necessary or perhaps even get in there and doing some coding ourselves if we feel the urge.
- Plugins — Another bonus that comes with using WordPress as our CMS is the abundance of plugins available for use. For those unfamiliar, plugins are small, handy programs that perform very specific functions on your website. There are plugins for managing user roles, helping with SEO or even displaying a joke of the day. Needless to say, we didn't incorporate that last one, but here are a few we do really love and would highly recommend: Wordfence, UpdraftPlus, WPRemote, Yoast SEO, Advance Custom Fields and Gravity Forms. We won't go into the details on all of them here but would encourage you to look into them if you're interested.
We use quite a few tools and programs in our day-to-day marketing efforts. Luckily, many of them play nice with websites to help streamline our workflow and just generally make our lives easier. So, of course, we jumped at the opportunity to integrate them directly into our website.
- MailChimp — Email is still a great marketing tool and email newsletters are an easy, efficient way to promote brand awareness and distribute your content. At LF we use MailChimp as our email campaign tool of choice. It's already pretty easy to sign up for a mailing list through MailChimp, but we made it even easier by integrating it right into a simple signup form we can place anywhere on our site. No pain, no fuss, and plenty of happy newsletter subscribers. Shameless plug: be sure to sign up for our monthly e-newsletter (the sign up form can be found below)!
- Disqus — Let's face it, sometimes comment management can be sort of a mess. Between spam and trolls, opening your website up to public commenting can be risky. Publishing and commenting tool Disqus makes things a little less stressful by providing an easy way for would-be commenters to add their two cents while providing site managers with a way to hold commenters accountable and filter out spam. It also integrates with major social media platforms, provides publish tools and even offers up some handy analytics.
The LF Digital Team is pretty big into numbers and data. Call us nerds, but when it comes to mining spreadsheets, charts and graphs for information, we couldn't think of a better way to spend the day. That said, we made sure to include a couple of our favorite analytics tools into the site and have plans to keep adding more in the future.
- Google Tag Manager — Let's start with the big one. When it comes to analytics, few can match the Google powerhouse. If you don't have some form of Google analytics tracking on your website, you're missing out on a lot of very helpful, very valuable data. With the launch of our new site, we incorporated Google Tag Manager, which goes beyond Google Analytics by making it easy to track specific actions on your site or even add other tracking software.
- HotJar — Which brings us to HotJar. We added it to the site through Google Tag Manager and now it's helping by providing some incredibly useful user experience data. HotJar can track clicks and scrolling, record user interactions, analyze user funnels, track form engagement, poll users or even enlist the help of live volunteers for user experience tests. We're not embarrassed to say we've already tackled a few user experience issues brought to light by HotJar.
- Moz — Last but not least, we're tracking our site with Moz. Moz is basically the go-to authority on all things search engine optimization. With it, we're recording and analyzing traffic trends, keyword performance, page optimization and much more. What would otherwise take hours to research, Moz can help accrue and analyze in a matter of minutes. When you're focused on your site's SEO (and if you're not, you should be), Moz is a great tool to help make things easier.
Putting It All Together
There's plenty more that went into our website than we can list here. After all, nobody wants to read a 100-page dissertation on the origins and process of any new website. And frankly, I wouldn't want to write that (my hands would probably cramp up pretty bad after page 20). But the above gives you a pretty broad idea of what went into creating our new site.
We'll be sure to keep you updated here on the Ad Mavericks blog with any new tools, trends or tricks we integrate into our site. We're also excited to start seeing the results of our hard work and planning. Whether that comes in the form of data, research or real-world case studies, we're planning to share it all here. So stay tuned!

Based on 1 Kings 17:8-16 (CSB)
The woman bent, reaching for another small twig to add to her measly bundle. The famine had lasted far longer than anyone expected, and the city had nearly exhausted all of it's supplies. What was left was being strictly rationed. With her jars nearly empty, the woman had ventured into town earlier that morning, hoping a caravan or some newly arrived merchants who had come to sell their goods; but like the last several times, there was no one.
So many of her friends and neighbors had left, taking what what little remained and fleeing for land that hopefully had food, but she had remained. If she had thought more seriously about her situation when her neighbors had decided to move on from the sleepy town of Zarephath, she might have joined them. But now it was too late now. Today she would use up the last of her store to feed her son one last meal.
"Excuse me! Could you get me a drink of water?"
Adding another small handful of sticks to her pile, the woman looked up and found a man walking toward her. His clothes looked worn, like they'd been exposed too long to the elements, and his beard was scraggly. "Please," he repeated, now that he had her attention, "bring me a little water in a cup and let me drink."
The woman nodded, grateful that their well had not yet run out of water, and was just about to step inside to do as the man requested when the he spoke again. "And please bring me a piece of bread."
Her steps halted and tears rushed to her eyes. There was a time when her home had been one of great joy and feasting, and she had happily offered her guests whatever they desired. But today she wasn't even able to offer this stranger a crumb of food. Turning on the soles of her worn sandal she faced her guest with watery eyes.
"Sir, as the Lord your God lives, I don't have anything baked–only a handful of flour in the jar and a bit of oil in the jug. Just now, I am gathering a couple of sticks in order to go prepare it for myself and my son so we can eat it and die." How many times she had prayed to the Lord that he would end this cursed famine and provide once again for His people. But day after day no rain came and their rations had dwindled until now there was almost nothing.
"Do not be afraid; go and do as you have said. But first make me a small loaf from it and bring it out to me. Afterward, you may make some for yourself and your son, for this is what the Lord God of Israel says, 'The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the surface of the land.'"
Looking long at the man, the woman wondered at his words, and she suddenly realized that this was no stranger who stood before her. This was the prophet she had heard about–Elijah. The idea was totally ridiculous–bake the last loaf for him and trust God to provide more for her and her son–but if the man spoke that her provisions would not run out, perhaps God had heard her prayers after all.
Sucking in a deep breath and mustering up what little faith she had left, the woman nodded and moved into the house, first fetching a cup of water and taking it back out to the prophet, then beginning the cook fire. Moving toward the jars of flour and oil, she looked inside to see just enough in each for one loaf of bread. If the man was lying and she gave him the last of their food, that would be the end of it. But she really didn't have anything to loose. One more meal would only prolong death. Unless the Lord came through.
A short time later, she brought the cooked loaf out to the man and watched him take a bite, her mouth watering. His words echoed in her mind: "The flour jar will not become empty and the oil jug will not run dry…" She had brought to man his food, now it was time to see if what he said truly was from the Lord.
Her stomach clenched, both from hunger and from fear as she moved back into the house, and returned to the jars of oil and flour that had been all but empty a few moments before. Now, as she looked inside they were nearly full to the brim! Tears spilled over onto her cheeks as she choked out a single prayer of gratitude. "Thank you, Lord. Thank you."
Some seasons can look a pretty bleak. Whether it's the loss of a job, an unexpected illness, a tragedy, or something completely outside of our control, there are times when we fell a little like the widow of Zarapheth: hopeless, fearful, resigned to the fact that things just aren't going to end well.
But even in these difficult seasons, hope exists.
What I love so much about this story is the simplicity of it. God didn't promise a feast or drop a fattened calf on the widow's table. Instead He provided for her daily needs. Flour and Oil, just what she needed to keep her family fed until the famine ended.
Sometimes God's blessings are over and above anything we can imagine, but more often He provides in small, everyday ways.
He knows exactly what you need, dear heart, and you can trust Him to provide just enough for this season. It may not be exactly what you ask for or what you think you need, but God will come through. However long this season stretches on–whether your needs are financial, physical, or emotional–He will provide.
Trust Him, dear heart.
Live in His love!

Curfew in force as Isaac is downgraded to tropical storm
A dusk-to-dawn curfew is in force in New Orleans tonight after Hurricane Isaac brought flooding and stranded dozens of people as it moved slowly across the US Gulf today.
But there is a glimmer of good news for residents. Isaac is no longer a hurricane and has been downgraded to a tropical storm.
However, the weather system is moving slowly and may not clear Louisiana until Friday. That may increase the risk of flooding.
More than half a million people have been left without power across the state's southern areas. They include more than 300,000 in New Orleans and its suburbs.
Isaac wasn't as strong as Hurricane Katrina which hit exactly seven years ago.
- The centre of the storm is located about 50 miles southwest of New Orleans
- Average winds are around 70mph
- The storm system is moving at around 5mph
Forecasters say the storm could drop a total of 20 inches of rain.
Thousands of police officers and National Guard troops are on standby amid reports of up to 40 people missing.
Louisiana officials may also cut a hole in one of the levees to relieve the water pressure.

NFL, CBS agree to Thursday night football deal for 2015
Thursday Night Football broadcasts will return to CBS and NFL Network for the 2015 season, the league announced on Sunday.
While CBS will produce all 16 of the games, the network will only air the first eight Thursday night games of the season. Those games will be simulcast on NFL Network. NFL Network will exclusively air the additional eight games.
Two of the 16 games will air late in the season on a Saturday. That arrangement will be similar, if not identical, to the 2014 season, when the league's Week 16 slate included a game on Thursday night as well as two games on Saturday.
• NFL conference championship picks: Who's heading to the Super Bowl?
"We are pleased to extend our partnership with CBS for Thursday Night Football," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "The promotion and production by CBS and NFL Network last season made Thursday night a night for NFL football. We look forward to working again next season with CBS."
CBS became the first broadcast network to air Thursday night games this past season, when it struck a deal reportedly worth $250 million.
• Arian Foster on Thursday games: 'I don't know a player that likes it'
The NFL has an option in the deal to extend the agreement to 2016, as well, if it so chooses.
CBS will also air its regularly scheduled Sunday afternoon NFL games throughout the 2015 season and also has the rights to Super Bowl 50.

Lexington, KY, September 29, 2017 – Coffee and charity, what could be a better combination? Whether you are a fan of champion 3 year old filly Rags to Riches or harness racing legend Foiled Again, or just a fan of a good cup of coffee, you are in luck. To kick off National Coffee Day with a buzz, New Vocations is announcing its partnership with the Equo Vitae Foundation to bring you a specialty line of coffee that was inspired by these amazing equine athletes.
This venture was developed by Dan Kelliher, who recognized that there is a great need for constant, recurring sources of funding for racehorse aftercare initiatives and began the Equo Vitae (For the Horse, Life) Foundation to fill this void. The Foundation's efforts will focus on creating a variety of revenue streams for aftercare funding, including its first release–the Equo Vitae Coffee Collection.
"Coffee reaches across the spectrum of horse racing fans, horse racing participants, sports fans, horse players and general marketplace consumers," said Kelliher. "We've put together a program featuring high-quality, specialty grade coffee, fair trade sourced, contained in packaging that's environmentally conscious, with profits helping to support an important area of need for our industry."
"When Dan shared his idea for this coffee with me, I knew he was on to something," said New Vocations Development Director Mandi Ford. "Horse people tend to love caffeine, whether you are staying up all night waiting for a foal to drop, training yearlings to race, getting up early to get to the track to cheer on your favorite horse from the stands, or caring for these horses when they leave the track, coffee is essential to making it all happen."
The Foiled Again Classic Medium Roast is described as a medium roast with tart lime, chocolate, bright fruit and ends with a tangy finish. The Rags to Riches Sunshine Roast is a sweet and balanced coffee with tangy citric acidity and a smooth mouthfeel. It has flavors of chocolate, green grape, almond and finishes with an herbal aftertaste. The 12-ounce bags are $13.75 per bag and can be ordered in whole bean or custom ground. A portion of the proceeds of the Foiled Again and Rags to Riches blends will benefit New Vocations.
You can order the Foiled Again coffee HERE and the Rags to Riches coffee HERE.
Proceeds from coffee sales will be directed to several aftercare organizations in order to assist with equine care and program support costs, including New Vocations, Old Friends, and A Home for Every Horse. Additionally, profits from the First Down Dash-Legends Morning Blend will be donated to The Scoop Vessels Scholarship Fund, managed by the American Quarter Horse Association.
For additional information, contact the New Vocations at (603) 496-9295.

Utilizing Newman's Own brand as a model, Equo Vitae's goal is to provide consistent funding for race horse retirement programs. A variety of ideas will be pursued by the Foundation, including product initiatives, strategic group purchasing opportunities and lobbying efforts focused on

Exchange Server Information Store databases support transaction logging i.e. before committing any data to the database, it is first written to transaction logs. If your database is ever forced to perform recovery, these transaction logs replay and restore the database to a working state. When an Exchange Server Information Store database corrupts, it marks an event indicating the root cause of the issue. You can deduce the problem and thus, take corrective measures to solve it. In cases, when no backup is available to replace the damaged database and ESEUTIL utility also fails to repair, you need to use an effective Microsoft utility that could repair and restore the damaged database.
For an instance, you might receive the below event ID in Application log of Event Viewer:
Date: date Source: ESE
Time: time Category: Logging/Recovery
Type: Error Event ID: 454
User: N/A
Computer: Servername
Description: Information Store (2184) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -501
Event 454 generally indicates database corruption that occurs while restore or recovery operation. Error -501 corresponds to hexadecimal value 0xFFFFFE0B. It represents JET_errLogFileCorrupt error and shows that the recovery operation has failed because of log file corruption.
You need to solve the given issue by following these steps:
Check if all database files are consistent. If they are, you can move all corrupted log files that are contained in ExchsrvrMdbdata folder and then try to mount the Information Store
If applying the above step doesn't solve the issue as databases are not consistent, you need to restore the corrupted databases from backup.
In case, no suitable backup is present, you can execute eseutil /p command to repair the damaged databases
If the error stil persists, use a powerful and safe third-party Exchange Recovery Tool to scan and repair the damaged database. Microsoft Exchange Recovery software are non-destructive tools designed with advanced technology to repair the corrupted database. These tools provide you self-explanatory interface and provide advanced set of features. In addition, you can use these products in any case of logical database corruption.

Novelty cakes are always great fun! Kids love them, and even adults can be coaxed to smile when they see these cute gummy worms sneaking out of chocolate ganache-like "mud."
Sometimes, you want something a little more elegant, especially when serving dessert to a group of adults. But, what about the kids? Well, with a slight tweak of the toppings, you can easily bake one cupcake and dress it up two ways.
Above you see Mud and Worm Cupcakes. These are easily constructed by sprinkling candy rocks, graham cracker crumbs, and gummy worms on chocolate topped cupcakes.
Here's what you can serve at the adults' table:
These are the same exact cupcakes, enrobbed in chocolatey goodness, only these are dressed lightly in snowflake sprinkles. You could use any sprinkle you like, but the snowflakes are dainty yet grown-up. Perfect for upcoming holiday get-togethers!
Stir up a batch of this Mud Frosting/Chocolate Icing recipe and enjoy one cupcake two ways.

Pearl Therapeutics has grabbed a hefty $65 million venture round, enough to bankroll the launch of a key late-stage COPD drug program that--one way or another--will prove transformational for the biotech.
The cash haul will be spent on PT003, which has wrapped up 9 midstage studies, leaving company officials on the verge of its end-of-Phase II sit-down with the FDA. Bill Picht, Pearl's vice president of finance and administration, says that the biotech is now positioned to launch two Phase III studies on PT003 in the middle of next year, setting up a final readout on data by the end of 2014 as they position their drug against some major league rivals now pushing their own blockbuster contenders.
The Series D money--which brings Pearl's total venture haul to $167 million in the past 5 years--is not enough to fund the company through a Phase III program that will ultimately recruit some 1,500 to 2,500 patients. For that Redwood City, CA-based Pearl will be required to either raise another round, pursue an IPO, follow through on ongoing licensing negotiations, or match up a variation of those money-raising tactics, says Picht. And while the company's strategy will stay focused on marching on to a new drug application, adds the CFO, no one is ruling out a buyout if someone comes along with the right offer. Regional pacts are currently being discussed with potential partners, says Picht, though a worldwide licensing deal could also be struck.
PT003 is a combination LAMA/LABA, which Pearl says should be well positioned against Novartis ($NVS) (with the experimental QVA149, which has dosing issues in the U.S.) and GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) (which has its own LAMA/LABA combo in Phase III with once-daily dosing). All of the developers are aiming for a chunk of Spiriva's multibillion-dollar market. And Picht says that PT003's twice-daily dosing regimen will work best for patients, putting them at an advantage over other once-daily drugs that won't have the same kind of therapeutic benefit for patients when they need it most.
"It fits the times they need the drug," says Picht, "morning and evenings."
The round was led by Vatera Healthcare Partners, with contributions from longtime backers at 5AM Ventures, Clarus Ventures and New Leaf Venture. Michael Jaharis, who founded Kos Pharmaceuticals and sold it to Abbott ($ABT) for $3.7 billion in 2006, set up Vatera.

WASHINGTON — Saying that its debt could reach $45 billion by 2017 if Congress does not act, the Postal Service on Wednesday called on lawmakers to give it the flexibility to change its business model to keep itself solvent.
During a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Patrick R. Donahoe, the postmaster general, asked Congress to give the Postal Service permission to run its own health plan for employees and retirees, modify a Congressional mandate that requires the agency to pay $5.5 billion a year into its fund for future employee health benefits, and end Saturday mail delivery. Mr. Donahoe said the changes would allow the agency to save $20 billion by 2016.
Ending Saturday mail delivery would save the Postal Service about $2 billion annually, according to its estimates. The agency lost $15.9 billion in the last fiscal year and $1.3 billion in the first quarter of the current one.
But despite the outcry from some lawmakers after the announcement last week that the Postal Service would seek to end Saturday letter delivery, few senators questioned Mr. Donahoe on Wednesday about the agency's proposal. Most of the questions came from rural lawmakers like Senator Jon Tester, Democrat of Montana, who said he was worried about the impact on rural communities of some other Postal Service changes, like the closing of mail-processing plants.
But Senators Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Carl Levin of Michigan, both Democrats, did question whether the agency had the legal authority to make the Saturday change. And both senators said they were not satisfied with the legal justification given by Mr. Donahoe, who said that the agency could end Saturday delivery without Congressional approval.
Several postal union representatives who testified also questioned the legal authority for the Postal Service to end six-day letter delivery, calling it an act of desperation.
"We can ill afford to eliminate Saturday delivery, which remains a critical strength and competitive strong point for the U.S.P.S," said Jeanette Dwyer, the president of the National Rural Letter Carriers Association.
The Postal Service said that since 2006, it had reduced the size of its work force by 193,000 workers, consolidated more than 200 mail-processing centers and reduced hours at 13,000 post offices. But agency officials said cuts and rate increases were not enough.
"To preserve our mission to provide secure, reliable and affordable universal delivery service — and do so without burdening the American taxpayer — the Postal Service needs urgent reform to its business model," Mr. Donahoe said in his testimony.
Lawmakers did not say when they would begin work on postal legislation. The Senate passed a bill last year to overhaul the Postal Service, but a House bill never made it out of committee.

When it comes to your Family and Children, only the very best will do. Our team of experienced professionals are here to deliver just that.
We are one of the largest Family & Child Law Departments in the South East and our dedicated and specialist team of Family & Child Law Solicitors have expertise in dealing with individuals; adoption and fostering agencies; Courts and Family Law organisations both in the UK and abroad.
Prior to entering into a civil partnership, it is possible to draw up an agreement which will make provision for the possibility of future relationship breakdown.
The contents of such an agreement can be as specific as you wish to make them, however in order to have the best chance of being taken into consideration by a court in the event that the partnership is dissolved, it is generally best to restrict the contents of agreements to matters like the division of assets and other financial matters.
As family law specialists, our team can advise civil partners on the drawing up of such agreements and in the event that a relationship has broken down, on seeking dissolution of the partnership.
Child maintenance will most likely be a factor in court proceedings to divide assets following a divorce or family breakup where children are involved.
The parent who does not live with their child full time and who does not have day-to-day care of the child is known as the non-resident parent. They have a responsibility to pay child maintenance up until the child is 16 years old or 20 years old if they are in full-time education (but not higher than A level or equivalent).
There are four ways of arranging child maintenance:
Child maintenance can be agreed directly between the parties or through solicitors. If such an agreement is reached, this can be recorded on a private agreement form through the Child Maintenance Options (formerly called the Child Support Agency (CSA).
It is important to note however, that such an agreement is not legally binding and thus if the non-resident parent decides to stop paying the agreed maintenance, the resident parent cannot enforce the agreement.
If an agreement cannot be reached between the parties, the resident parent can make an application to the Child Maintenance Service. There is a calculator available on the CMS' website to work out the weekly amount of child maintenance: http://www.cmoptions.org/en/calculator/y. However, there are certain situations when the Child Maintenance Service will not be able to assist, such as:
In these situations, an application to court will be required to address the issue of child maintenance.
The resident parent can apply to the court to have the private agreement or application to the CMS recorded in a Court Order called a Consent Order to make the agreement legally binding.
If the court makes the order and the non-resident parent fails to pay the maintenance agreed in the consent order, the court will have the power to enforce the order.
Under the Children Act 1989 a parent can apply to the court for child maintenance to be paid by way of periodical maintenance payments, a lump sum or by a transfer of property into the sole names of one of the parents.
When deciding an application the court will consider all information in the case and in particular the welfare of the child and will look at the following factors:
Any financial provision that the court orders will last until the child reaches the age of 18 unless they are still in full-time education or there are special reasons why the child maintenance should be continued, for example if the child has a disability.
At MW Solicitors our mission is "To make quality legal services accessible to everyone" including Resident Parents trying to negotiate the complex Child Maintenance System.
Our expert Family Lawyers have decades of experience working across all aspects of Family Law and specialise in helping parents to get the support in the form of Child Maintenance payments that their children are entitled to.

There are many types of living together arrangements and we are here to advise you on how best to protect your interests when going in to a new relationship and to help you sort things out if there are difficulties within your relationship.
You might want to consider either a pre nuptial or cohabitation (Living Together) agreement covering each person's expectations, usually financial, but can include, within reason, anything you wish. We also have good experience of preparing post nuptial or separation agreements.
At MW Solicitors we firmly believe that it is your money and that you should wherever possible, be the one to decide how it should be divided with your former partner.
We strongly encourage out of Court settlements and our expert Family Lawyers are trained to help you use alternative ways of resolving issues such as collaborative law, mediation and arbitration.
Collaborative law is a process whereby you and your Solicitor work together with your former partner and his or her solicitor to resolve matters. You all sign up to an agreement to use the process and not to resort to the Courts. All the issues are decided at meetings at which everyone is present so that there can be every opportunity for ideas to be discussed and problems resolved with the direct assistance of your lawyers. There is still the need for parties to give full details of their financial circumstances, but the face to face structure means that everyone will more easily understood each other's position and the chances of reaching agreement will be significantly improved as the likelihood of misunderstanding is minimised.
Any agreement ultimately reached will then be submitted to the Court for approval. We have solicitors who are trained to offer this service to our clients.
Mediation involves parties meeting with a trained mediator in an attempt to resolve the issues by full discussion. The mediator helps them to identify the key issues, but allows the focus to be kept on the issues that the parties consider to be important. The role of the mediator is to help parties to reach agreement and not to direct them towards a particular settlement. The parties are encouraged to obtain legal advice throughout the process so they understand the legal framework and that their agreement can be given legal force. Again the process requires parties to give full disclosure of their financial circumstances and the parties are then assisted to decide for themselves how they wish to resolve the issues rather than have a third party decide for them. The length of the process will depend on the number of issues to be resolved and the willingness of the parties to compromise with each other.
An agreement reached in mediation is not binding until it has been ratified in an order submitted to the Court for approval. We have solicitors who are trained as mediators and also have close contacts with external mediation services to enable us to offer our clients the most convenient solution for them.
The process of resolving disputes through the Courts can be a lengthy and expensive one and arbitration is a means of achieving a result in a more timely and cost effective manner. Parties can agree to have an issue resolved by an arbitrator who is usually a retired Judge or senior lawyer who will consider the financial information produced by the parties, hear evidence and make a decision. It is similar to the Court process but the decision is made by an arbitrator as opposed to a Judge, but the parties are not restricted by the rules of the Court process and can decide what issues are to be decided, what evidence is to be produced and the timescale for resolving the matter.
We have contacts with arbitrators and can able to refer direct should client's wish to use this process.
At MW Solicitors, our mission is to "To make quality legal services accessible to everyone" including those couples going through the breakup of a marriage or civil partnership.
Our team of dedicated Family Lawyers have years of experience dealing in all aspects of Family Law and can help you to resolve your dispute with your former partner in a pragmatic and cost effective way. If you would like to speak to one of our specialist Family Solicitors call us today on 0203 551 8500 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

When you are separating, a real concern for many couples is what the financial outcome of the split will be. Questions about, whether you'll be able to keep the house? or whether your children will have to change schools?, or can you afford to pay the bills?, and what will happen about pensions? are the kind of questions we are often asked.
If you and your partner are married or in a civil partnership and can't agree on how to split property and sort out your finances you can apply to the courts for a financial remedy.
The courts are able to make a range of orders for cash payments, transfer of property or other assets, maintenance and pension sharing. The position is not the same for unmarried couples who have been living together.
We would encourage you to come and see us for an initial meeting, so you fully understand your options. For most people a session with a mediator will be best before making an application to the court. We would work with you alongside that process. Mediation isn't right for everyone, or sometimes things drag on or you just cannot reach agreement, so a court application is then necessary.
You and your partner will be required to:
The court sets a First Directions Appointment (FDA) before a District Judge about 12 weeks after you apply to court. The judge will identify the issues and make orders to get the information needed to sort them out, for example to value your assets. This has to be twelve weeks after the application is issued.
If things aren't sorted out at the FDA the next stage is the Financial Dispute Resolution appointment (FDR). You and your partner both attend this court hearing, where the District Judge, will encourage reach of you to reach an agreement on your finances and will usually indicate what he or she thinks would be a reasonable outcome. We will support you in preparing for the hearing and at court.
Only if the issues cannot be sorted out will there be a final hearing at a later date heard by a different District Judge who will hear evidence, consider the documents and give a judgment. It can be several months before a date for a final hearing. But it is possible to reach an agreement and submit a note of that agreement, called a consent order, to the judge for approval at any point. Most cases do resolve without a final hearing, which is expensive and stressful.
Some couples financial arrangements can be settled with a 'clean break', which means a lump sum payment and/or property transfer and no ongoing maintenance. A clean break ends the financial relationship between you and you partner. But support will still be payable for any dependent children. Sometimes there are not enough assets or another reason meaning regular maintenance payments from one person to the other is needed and then a clean break won't be possible, these can be open-ended (during joint lives or until the person receiving the payments remarries or enters a new civil partnership) or for a fixed period of time.
At McMillan Williams, our mission is "To make quality legal services accessible to everyone", including those who are going through a divorce or legal separation. Our solicitors are experts in all aspects of Divorce and Legal Separation including Mediation and Ancillary Relief. Call us today on 020 3551 8500 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The prospect of a Divorce can be extremely daunting. The investment of one's life and commitment can make the inevitable sometimes feel like an extremely costly emotional challenge.
At MW Solicitors we are here to help you understand the process and to support you at every stage of a Divorce with a minimum amount of delay, stress and acrimony.
In England and Wales a divorce is granted on the grounds of "The irretrievable breakdown of ones marriage". and is established by reliance on one of five facts:
The concept of a quickie divorce is a misnomer. The process is in essence the same regardless of what fact you rely upon save that with 2 years separation the consent of your Spouse is required.
Before a Petition for Divorce can be presented to the Court you and your Spouse or Civil Partner must have been married for a minimum of one year.
The party seeking a Divorce is the Petitioner and the party receiving the Divorce Papers is the Respondent.
A Petition for Divorce can be presented to the Courts in England and Wales even if you and your Spouse married abroad.
However, either one or both of you must have been habitually resident in England or Wales or have been domiciled in England and Wales for the prerequisite period of time prior to the presentation of the Petition to the Court. The jurisdiction of the Court can be difficult to understand but our expert Divorce Lawyers will be able to discuss this point with you during a Consultation Meeting.
Our Divorce Solicitors are experts and will employ methods of good practice. They will write to your Spouse before issuing Divorce Proceedings detailing the facts which are being relied upon for the Divorce and also dealing with who should pay the costs of the Divorce Proceedings.
Preparing and Issuing Court Papers
We will prepare the Divorce Petition and supporting documents. We will require the original Marriage Certificate which along with the Petition and appropriate documents will be lodged at the Court together with a Court fee that you will need to pay.
The Court will post the Divorce Petition to your Spouse together with an Acknowledgement of Service Form to complete. Your Spouse will have 8 days in which to return the Acknowledgement of Service to the Court.
Failure to do so will result in our expert Divorce Lawyers taking the appropriate steps on your behalf to arrange alternate service of the Petition upon your Spouse or applying to proceed without further service.
Once an Acknowledgement of Service to the Petition has been returned by your Spouse, acknowledging that they do not intend to defend the Proceedings, an Application will be made on your behalf by our Experts for a Judge to consider your Divorce Proceedings as undefended.
However, if your Spouse chooses to defend the Proceedings your case will be contested and our specialised Divorce Lawyers will ensure that you understand the process and the cost implications.
If the Judge is satisfied that you are entitled to a Divorce a Certificate will be issued giving the date for the Decree Nisi to be pronounced. This is the first Decree you must achieve before the final Decree Absolute. If the Judge is not satisfied that you are entitled to a Decree we will receive the Judges Refusal Certificate and our specialist Divorce Lawyers will respond accordingly to the matters raised by the Judge in the Refusal Certificate.
There is no need for you to attend Court unless agreement has not been reached in relation to the legal cost of the Divorce Proceedings. If the matter falls to the Judge to decide the Court may set a separate date to deal with the issue of cost and our expert Divorce Lawyers will advise you accordingly.
An Application for Pronouncement of Decree Absolute can be made 6 weeks and one day after the pronouncement of the Decree of Divorce.
On pronouncement your marriage or Civil Partnership is legally dissolved. However pronouncement of Decree Absolute has serious financial consequences such as the loss of your Spouse's pension on their death. As a result our expert Divorce Lawyers may advise you not to apply for Decree Absolute until any financial matters are either resolved between your Spouse and yourself or through an Order of the Court.
At MW Solicitors our mission is "To make quality legal services accessible to everyone" including those who are going through the process of Divorce.
Our expert Divorce Lawyers have decades of experience and specialise in helping clients to resolve their divorce as pragmatically and as cost effectively as possible with the right financial outcome.

Whatever the nature of your dispute, you need it dealt with quickly and competently by understanding professionals
Whether through mediation and collaborative law, or court based proceedings, we can help find a resolution to your problems. You can talk to us in the strictest confidence, and we will work with you closely and sympathetically.
During a divorce process it can be difficult for both former spouses to agree on a financial settlement. To fairly distribute assets between former spouses/civil partners filing for divorce, a court will use financial remedies.
You can ask for the Court to make a financial order to help agree a fair divide. This is known as a Financial Order and can be drafted by your solicitor.
You can apply for a financial order for a number of reasons:
Once a financial order has been agreed, the Court will approve it and issue a consent order.
Freezing orders are a type of financial order issued to prevent your partner from disposing or dealing with assets until the conclusion of the divorce. The Court must be satisfied that your partner is planning to sell an asset with the intention of preventing you from receiving the financial benefit from the asset. If a freezing order is agreed by the Court, it can last for as long as the court deems it necessary.
Pension Sharing
Pension sharing can also be included in a financial order. This allows one person to receive a percentage of the total value of the other person's pension, this is called a "Pension Credit". Pension sharing arrangements can include, state pensions, private pensions and any schemes offered by an employer.
At MW Solicitors our mission is "To make quality legal services accessible to everyone" including helping clients to negotiate financial settlements in divorce.
Our expert Family Lawyers have decades of experience in all aspects of Family Law. We can help those throughout the divorce process from initial consultation, through decree nisi, decree absolute, ensuring that clients get the ancillary relief and financial remedies they deserve.
If you are involved in a Divorce with financial disagreements, call us today on 0203 551 8500 or use our Contact Us form to arrange a callback.

Friday Food Finds by Joey Skladany. – August 24th, 2018 edition
It's clear that this company is gunning for Mary's Gone crackers (the O.G. and, frankly, the best for seed-based dip vessels), but they're doing things their own way by incorporating unique ingredients like beets, lentils, and sweet potatoes. The former is delicious, offering a pleasant sweetness to complement the corn. And if you're on the market for corn flavors in general, the company also boasts an impressive line of corn-based chips that are addictive AF. I may or may not have housed half a bag of their chili cheese variety.

I'm glad I'm not a chicken in Moçambique. As you drive down the road here, you regularly pass people waving something at you as you pass by. At first glance, it might appear to be a very thick tattered flag or cloth. A closer look reveals that it is a live chicken, held upside down by the legs that is being waved furiously.
That's not the only indignity chickens endure. It is a common sight to see someone with a dozen chickens tied together by the legs and slung over the handlebars of a bicycle. People are always walking around carrying a chicken by the legs or wings.
Goats also have an "interesting" existence. You can hear them being pulled around town all the time. They often are uncooperative and resist going where their owner wishes. They make lots of noise in the process. Perhaps they know that they're to be the main course at dinner.
Some goats in Malawi, on the other hand, get first class treatment. We've seen goats riding bicycles in Malawi! I don't know how that they do it, but we've seen goats sitting on the bicycle seat with their front hooves on the handle bars as their owners push the bicycle to town. (I guess the goats haven't learned to pedal yet.)
