This hearty, bean-free Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili is just what you need to ward off winter's chill (Includes Instant Pot & Stovetop directions, too)
I dream of chili
No kidding. It has to be one of my most favorite foods. I just love how versatile it is and how everyone – EVERYONE – has their own idea of what 'chili' should be. Some like beans, others don't. Some like big hunks of meat and others like theirs heavy on the veg. Some like it hot, some like it mild. And you've even got the red versus white thing going on here, too. There are about as many different chili recipes in the world as their are hairs you on your head. Maybe even more, depending on your genetics.
I fall into pretty much all of those camps when it comes to chili. The only chili I DON'T like is chili in a can. Not a fan of that chili in a can.
What I do love though is a hearty bowl of this just-spicy-enough Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili – perfect for cold wintery days and slurping from my favorite insulated food flask after a day on the slopes while my kids try to pelt me with snowballs and beg me sweetly for a cup of hot cocoa to sip on the ride home (by the way, their strategy is pretty effective 'cause they're so darn cute with those bright pink rosy cheeks tucked under even brighter pink ski helmets….can you tell I'd rather be skiing than blogging today? I digress…)
Start your own Slow Cooker White Chicken Chili love fest in just 10 minutes
I thought that'd get your attention. All teasing aside, you need only 10 minutes of prepping and chopping to get this chili going in your slow cooker – and then it's another 7-8 hours of hands-off cooking. Of course, you can also make it on the stovetop if you don't have a slow cooker or just like the act of cooking (which, admittedly, sometimes I really like to stand over the stove and stir up beautiful pots of soup and such) – so I've also included directions for making this on the stove as well.
When the chicken is cooked through you can either remove it to a plate and shred it with two forks or carefully shred it right in the slow cooker before you add the coconut milk.
Then all you have left to do is stir in a little fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro then serve it up in big bowls and dig in.

Love, love this photo. That's me on the left, my mom on the right holding my sister's hand. Sister, typically trying to cause some trouble. My aunt with the bandana, my mother's younger sister, for whom I am named. And my grandmother in the background, inside, hands on hips, looking out over us. At a summer rental cabin, I'm guessing 1974.

that's just lovely.ReplyDelete
and so precious.
it is, really.ReplyDelete
my folks just called to debate where the heck this photo was taken. they hadn't seen the photo before.
i think it was taken at a cabin rented by my grandmother at Presque Isle in Erie, Pennsylvania.
but we are not sure.
this photo came to me in a drawer of my grandmother's desk. there was an envelope with a few snapshots in the drawer when i received the desk.
talk about precious.

I've never seen this photo, either, and I thought I maintained the photo archives. Great find! Mom looks amazing. And I don't think I'm causing trouble, I'm just trying to escape their clutches.ReplyDelete
trying to escape their clutches so you can cause trouble. trust me, that's what you were doing.ReplyDelete
linda! you remember that shirt? how cool. big love to you.
I love this photo.ReplyDelete
Love how confidently you are standing and staring at the photographer.
Who took the photo, do you know?
i don't know. my folks called to talk about this photo, because they hadn't seen it before and didn't know where it was taken. i would have assumed my father took the shot, but he says no. i do know i was crazy about my aunt who was standing next to me, which could account for my confident look. and i'm pretty all sure the cabin was at Presque Isle in Erie, PA.ReplyDelete

Coral Sea protected areas to be reduced by 76 per cent
CORAL Sea stakeholders have had a mixed reaction to a draft management plan for the marine reserve, which has had its protected areas cut back by more than 75 per cent.
The Turnbull Government has finally released its long-awaited plan for the vast marine park, off the Far Northern coastline, which covers 989,842 sq km.
According to the State Government, the proposal has decreased the Coral Sea marine park protected area by 76 per cent.
Sally Barnes, the federal government's director of national parks, says the plan strikes a balance, setting how marine parks can be used and enjoyed, while providing protection through active management.
Australia's national network of marine parks was established by Labor in 2012, and suspected by the Abbott government one year later, which committed to a review of the management scheme.
Cairns Professional Game Fishing Association president Dan McCarthy said the new plan was significantly better than previous strategies.
"It's still not perfect," he said. "Obviously we've had to make concessions, but if it comes as it is, we can live with it."
He said under the current plan, fishers had lost partial access to Osprey Reef, 230km northeast of Cooktown.
"Osprey's a significant reef for all of the groups and it has, historically, been very lightly used," he said. "Even with up to 50 years of the current level of use, everybody agrees it is in absolutely pristine condition. On that basis, they can't justify kicking out responsible users."
Mike Ball Dive Expeditions operations manager Craig Stephen said the plan would effectively open up pristine dive sites, such as Osprey Reef and the Cod Hole, to more fishing.
"Peeling the green zones there, basically opens things up to destructive industry," he said.
"We have suffered on our dive sites. We've had scuba divers coming to the surface with sharks with hooks hanging out of them, and lines hanging out of their mouths. That's had a direct impact on us."
Queensland's Environment Minister Steven Miles said any cut to protections in the Coral Sea was unacceptable.
"We have had two back-to-back coral bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef and the federal government wants to downgrade a safe haven for marine life," he said.
"All so that they can increase longline fishing and sea floor trawling, which will decimate fish populations. To call this short-sighted is an understatement."

text: difficult child had more psychiatric testing done at the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) last month. I attended a meeting last week in which the results were provided to me. difficult child has been placed on the schizophrenic spectrum. It was emphasized that while difficult child does not present classic schizophrenic symptoms and the mood issues are a major factor, the testing indicates that, as it was put, he shows more perception distortion and reality that is typical of bipolar. It also says there are suggestions of fragmented identity or identity multiples. Severe depression. Indications that regression into a flagrantly psychotic state is an ever rpresent possibility. He sees himself as damaged. Sees the world as a demanding, unrewarding and threatening place. Residential Treatment Center (RTC) team expressed their observations of his thought disorders and major difficulty in thought process, as well as the instances of bizarre things that he says -- mostly fantasy related. They were very supportive. They are also being cautious. They added rule out Psychotic Disorder to his list. They are not looking for a schizophrenic diagnosis -- if anything, they believe it would be schizoaffective. It is not the first time this has been suggested as a possibility or concern, but it's the first time any testing has supported that possibility or concern. Before, the suggestions were based on behavioral ancedotes and reports from us to docs of things he's said/thought. And I thought the possibility of bi-polar was devestating. I still remember the emotions when at age 4, we were told he had ODD. I have been struggling -- agonizing -- since that meeting over what I did to cause this. I realize, really, please believe me, that this is stupid. And counterproductive. And stupid. But I couldn't/can't stop it. I've even come up with a list of risk criteria, based on a little reading that I did, that combined, could have done this to my son -- stress during pregnancy, pre-eclamsia, putting him in that horrible hospital when he was 5, even though I didn't know it was horrible at the time. Something maybe that I haven't even come up with yet, that, in concert with other things, triggered his risk factor. Completely pointless, I know, but I regressed to this point. There is no schizophrenia in either of our family history that I know of. Where did this come from? This guilt is not as intense as the first few days, but I don't know if I can get past it. Maybe it's my way of not completely losing it and screaming at the world for being so unfair. Which would get me the same results as far as finding an answer as to why -- a big fat 0; only they'd probably put me in for some testing of my own. Back to what I can do and control, something I should have done long ago -- put in writing and legalize a guardianship for him should something happen to me and husband. We have an understanding with husband's parents, but I want it official. I can't get past the thought of who is going to take care of him, love him, if I'm gone. I need that piece of mind. I can't explain the sense of urgency borne out of this testing that has taken over me -- why it seems so much more important (and it was important before) when we were operating on the idea that this was a case of bi-polar with infrequent bouts of delusions. Except to say that his future and ability to have happiness in his life seems much narrower now. Maybe it is the shock of seeing it on paper. The last thing I've ever wanted for my son is a limit on his possibilities...it seems that we just have to work a little harder for him to realize what he so wants -- a normal life.

The U of M Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships (RSDP) recently began a project that connects small- and medium-sized farms to wholesale markets using existing infrastructure.
The pilot project is the first in the nation to develop and test "backhauling" as a way to help these farms get their produce to wholesalers for wider distribution. Backhauling uses the return trip of a delivery truck to carry locally grown foods from rural grocers back to wholesale distribution centers. The long-term goal is to increase the viability, competitiveness, and sustainability of the farms through access to the wholesale market.
"We need to understand the complexities of farm-to-grocery-to-wholesale, including logistical, financial, and regulatory challenges," says Kathryn Draeger, statewide director of RSDP, who is co-leading the study with U of M applied economics professor Hikaru Peterson. "This innovative research will help us learn how we can build systems for local food growers, help wholesalers, and support local grocers, who are such an essential part of Main Street across Minnesota."
The two-year project is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the United States Department of Agriculture. The research will bring Extension and the U of M together with stakeholders from across the food supply chain, including producers, grocers, wholesalers, and regulators.
One of the RSDP's partners in this project is Mason Brothers Wholesale Grocery, a family-owned wholesale grocery distributor that serves independent small grocery stores in Minnesota and parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Farmers will be able to bring their crops to local grocery stores, where trucks in the Mason Brothers fleet will pick them up and transport them to wholesale distribution centers.
"Our trucks travel 45,000 miles per week and are 60 percent full on average during the course of our routes. So we have the infrastructure to link local farmers to distribution," says Duke Harrison, head of warehouse operations at Mason Brothers. "We can haul these products and get them back to markets without adding much on our end."
Over the next two years, the project will test the backhauling model, starting with three crops: garlic, organic potatoes, and strawberries. Once tested, this model could be replicated in rural areas throughout the country.

Politics Is A Waste Of Time
Written by Justin and is a re-publication of his work from his website LibertyHangout.org.
Do you remember the time the slaves banded together to beg their masters for freedom and they succeeded? Or the time the Jews pleaded with the Pharaoh to let them free and they were successful? Or that time the American colonists asked their British overlords for independence and their wishes were granted? Or the time the prisoners of the Barbary Empire voted for their captors to set them free and they emerged victorious?
Such events never happened, and it's easy to understand that such scenarios are silly. Sadly, many of the loudest voices for freedom believe that doing the same thing here in the United States–asking our masters to voluntarily cede their power–is the only way of achieving liberty. They believe that if you just vote for the right people, all of our problems will be solved!
Libertarian philosopher Lysander Spooner once said, "A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years." To vote for a man is to give him authority over you in hopes that he will one day voluntarily relinquish that authority. It is to accept captivity so long as he is benevolent.
You are a free, beautiful, and independent human being. Nobody owns you; you own yourself. Harriet Tubman recognized this universal truth, and instead of sitting around waiting for slavery to be voted away, she brought hundreds of slaves to freedom through the Underground Railroad. Instead of voting for permission to sit in the front of the bus, Rosa Parks recognized that she was a free human being and sat there anyway. Mahatma Gandhi didn't sit around waiting for the British Salt Acts to be repealed either. Instead, he recognized that he was a free human being with self-ownership and decided to produce salt himself, without the king's permission.
Imagine how wildly different history may look if these individuals sought to effect change through politics rather than action. What if Martin Luther King Jr. sat around every four years hoping to vote in a President who would bring racial equality instead of marching on Washington with millions of passionate voices? What if Jesus became a Jewish high priest instead of disobeying Jewish law and taking His message to the streets? And what if Raoul Wallenberg tried to vote away the Holocaust instead of saving 100,000 Jews from captivity?
It's encouraging to see many of the youth becoming passionate about individual rights and optimistic about creating a better future. Yet it is at the same time disappointing that many see politics as the only avenue towards freedom. As H.L. Mencken once famously wrote, "I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time." When even Ron Paul was unsuccessful in effecting any change politically, Mencken's statement rings true.
Imagine if all the millions of Americans that can't wait to cast a vote next year took the Rosa Parks route instead. What if all of the libertarians enthusiastic about ending the Federal Reserve started using Bitcoin and silver instead of sitting around every four years hoping the Federal Reserve will be voted away? What if all of the conservatives that want to eliminate the minimum wage start paying employees under the table instead of eagerly fighting to vote it away? What if all of the liberals that want control over their bodies start smoking marijuana instead of waiting for drug prohibition to be voted away? And what if all of the veterans looking for a cure to their PTSD started using MDMA instead of sitting around waiting for politicians to give them permission to use drugs that don't have suicide listed as a side effect?
While politics may be an important tool for those who are introduced to the ideas of freedom, it will never be the solution to attaining freedom. Politics is antithetical to freedom, since you are conceding that you require a master. Thomas Jefferson recognized as early as 1810 that the American Republic was an utter failure, and Americans have been trying to vote back their freedom ever since. It should be of no surprise that all attempts to vote back freedom have failed.
You will never be able to vote yourself freedom. Freedom does not come from permission. Stop wasting your time trying to lengthen the master's leash around your neck and seek to remove the leash instead. Freedom will be won when you take control of your life and start living free. Freedom comes from recognizing that you are a free, beautiful, and independent human being. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

text: Share: Comments Print September 14, 2010 at 6:00 PM WNBA Finals Game 2 Thread: No. 1 Seattle vs No. 4 Atlanta Posted by Jayda Evans STORM WINS: Sorry for disappearing. We added more coverage to the paper edition, so there was less time to write here, given the tight deadline. Anyway, hope the 13,898 in attendance enjoyed the game because it might be the last at KeyArena. Time expired on the Dream, sealing a 87-84 win in Game 2. Surprised Cash couldn't connect on the two free throws at the end, which makes me wonder what kind of door the Storm has on the Dream. The gifted team that uses a 10-player rotation was right there on Thursday. Seattle will need a concrete layer to keep Atlanta from breaking through to make this a series. For now, the Storm improves to 21-0 at KeyArena and is one win from winning its first championship since 2004. Jackson led with 26 points and seven rebounds while Cash added 19 and three assists. An unsung hero was Wright, who helped Cash defend McCoughtry. Wright finished with 17 points and five steals, cutting the turnovers back to three. Izzy and Angel had 21 points apiece for the Dream, which was limited to 23 FT attempts compared to the Storm's 37. "We never die," Meadors said. "We never stop. We always play all the way to the end of the game, no matter the score and we play as hard as we can." Izzy fouled out of the game with 22.9 seconds remaining with her team down four points — a lot of time for the Dream to create. "I don't know if we did quite as well on Izzy tonight as I thought we could have," Agler said. "There were a couple of cases I thought she freed up and we didn't stay in place with her. She hit some difficult shots." Atlanta took a red-eye home and will practice after they land to prepare for Thursday's Game 3 at Philips Arena. Seattle isn't holding a traditional practice on Wednesday, traveling instead. NO BREAKS: Man, McCoughtry was an excitement sucker with a sick three-pointer at the buzzer ending the opening half. Seattle had built a eight point lead in the second quarter, but the Dream nearly gobbled that up in the final two minutes of the half. McCoughtry made two buckets, Miller had a steal, and Castro Marques added a score to close the half down just 49-47. Seattle has three players in double digits while McCoughtry leads her team with 14 on 5 of 15 shooting. Seattle is getting outrebounded 20-12, but shooting 51.6 percent from the field. Cash has been money, getting 10 of her 12 points in the second quarter. IZZY BACK: Castro Marques started the second quarter. The Dream is still shooting poorly, however, going 8 of 30 from the field to trail 31-28 with 6:17 remaining. LOOKING GOOD: Their won't be many massive runs in this game, so gotta give props to the Storm buckling down even deeper to build a 28-24 lead after a wicked turnaround jumper from Cash in McCoughtry's face with 7:23 remaining. The crowd started whipping the towels, which looks good on television. ESPN even has the game up on its main page. Too bad its commercials promo-ing the game didn't include the date and time of the matchup. WHERE'S THE D?: The Storm is missing a prime opportunity to put the Dream away. Its shooters are off, going 6-for-24 from the field in the opening quarter. But the Storm fouling has given Atlanta nine FTs and the Storm spotted the Dream another eight off turnovers. No wonder the underdogs are up 21-19 after first-quarter play. Jackson leads the Storm with nine points. Four players for the Dream have four. IZZY HURT?: Castro Marques is still on the bench with an ice pack on her nose. She played five minutes of the first quarter. PENALTY: It's a game of FTs again as officials try to get some control. The Dream is definitely rebounding better, winning that stat 13-5 against Seattle. The Storm has five turnovers and just three made baskets to lead to the 18-13 deficit. too bad, because McCoughtry is 1 of 9 from the field, but she's finding Erika de Souza in the paint for layins. GOTTA WEAR SHADES: Some fans literally can't see as the sun comes down and a door is open, letting in the late evening rays. A few rows in Section 127 are wearing shades and using their homemade signs as sun blockers. SPOTTED: I'm sure this section will be updated throughout the game, but to get it started, former Storm Gs Semeka Randall and Jamie Redd are seated courtside. Randall missed practice with her Ohio Bobcats this morning in order to make the trip. "They were pissed, but I'll make it up to them," she said. TIME!: With McCoughtry and Castro Marques easily cutting their way into the paint for buckets, Agler had to call time to talk to his team about defense. Little isn't having the start she had on Sunday, missing two open shots under the hoop and then hesitating on a drive, tossing the ball off to Jackson, who couldn't control the frenzied pass. Seattle is down 7-2 with 7:56 remaining in the opening quarter. GOLDEN APPLE: Washington Governor Chris Gregoire bet Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue that the Storm will beat the Dream in the finals. If the Storm brings home the championship, Perdue has promised to send Gregoire a box of Georgia peaches. In return, Gregoire has put up a box of Washington apples. "I'm convinced that Governor Perdue hasn't seen the Seattle Storm in action – otherwise he wouldn't jump at this bet," said Gregoire in a statement released today. The atmosphere is a little calmer inside KeyArena on Tuesday. Fans are casually walking in to take their seats compared to Sunday's frantic feel where many said they didn't know how to react to the Storm being back in the WNBA Finals after a five-year absence. A wish from the stands is for top-seeded Seattle to crush visiting Atlanta in Game 2 of the best-of-five series. Neither team had a sparkling debut in the Finals, either missing defensive assignments or turning the ball over to finish in a one-point outcome. Watching the Storm complete shoot-around Tuesday morning, it seems the team has its swagger back. The rosters are the same average age, but the Storm has far more postseason experience and championships from leagues across the globe, so playing a little sketchy in the opener of a Finals is rare. Now that they know how the Dream is going to play them, they know how combat the flurry. Seattle hasn't lost a game this season at KeyArena and its last loss overall was on the road against Washington on Aug. 15. If Atlanta doesn't find a way to pull an upset Tuesday, it's doubtful any home-court advantage at Philips on Thursday will stop Seattle from winning the title on the road. Did we mention the Storm was 11-6 away from KeyArena, with two being on last-second plays and two being when coach Brian Agler was fiddling with his lineup to give starters rest. There won't be any tinkering for Game 2. Atlanta coach Marynell Meadors is going with the same starting lineup along with Agler. But Seattle is without reserve F Abby Bishop, who suffered a concussion after being hit by a male practice player on Monday. She will not dress for the game and Agler is uncertain whether she'll travel with the team to Atlanta on Wednesday. "Abby is not a player who's in our tight rotation, but it could potentially effect us," her said. In Game 1, officiating forced both coaches to mix up their rotations. Meadors plays her entire roster, so it didn't have the same affect as it did on Agler, who shrunk his deepth-chart to seven players for majority of the postseason. Reserve Jana Vesela was worked for stints while C Ashley Robinson made an appearance in Game 1 of the Finals to compete against Atlanta's big post rotation. "I've always liked Ashley's athleticism," said Agler of Robinson, who played three minutes. "I'm sure we can potentially go there again. She's a smart player, she understands what's going on and she could give us some quality minutes." There is a new batch of officials for Thursday, we'll see if that improves the play. But the first group might have turned off fans. The lower-bowl has some open patches and three-fourths of the upper deck is blocked off by the traditional black curtains. On Sunday, there were about 15,000 fans. In 2004, KeyArena sold out the facility's 17,072-seat capacity. Let's get you prepared with the starting lineups: DREAM F Angel McCoughtry F Iziane Castro-Marques C Sancho Lyttle G Coco Miller G Armintie Price STORM F Swin Cash F Lauren Jackson C Camille Little G Sue Bird G Tanisha Wright Tonight's officials are Eric Brewton, Cameron Inouye, and Scott Twardoski.

Lucknow, Sep 14 (IANS) Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the bullet train project in Gujarat, saying more serious issues facing the country needed to be tackled first.
"Will running a bullet train solve the problem of rising unemployment?" the Samajwadi Party leader told the media here.
"During campaigning for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections in February-March, Modi pointed out time and again that all development had been taken to our native village Saifai. Now he should explain how a bullet train project has gone to poll-bound Gujarat," he said.
Elections for the 182-member Gujarat assembly would be held by the year-end.
"Now, it is for all to see where all the development is happening," the former Chief Minister said.
He also said it would have been better if the bullet train was run between metropolitan cities like Delhi and Kolkata which housed large populations.
The Samajwadi Party leader also slammed the state's Yogi Adityanath government over loan waiver for farmers.
As for Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi mentioning his name at Berkeleys University in the US while giving an example of dynastic politics in India, Akhilesh said he was a "friend" and had said so with a certain perspective.

About Me
My training as a dancer is what first brought me to Bodywork. A late-comer to dance - after being a teacher in Cultural Studies and French - I got to experience for myself the body's incredible ability to transform itself and regain its innate fluidity through movement and training. Introduced to partner stretching and other interactive types of movement, I realized that guided work could expand anyone's potential far beyond their own individual reach.
In parallel, a severe digestive condition took me on a long journey of finding the right healing modality. After having tried every possible approach in vain, I finally came across Nutrition Response Testing, the first one to dramatically improve my condition ~I am therefore thrilled to now be able to offer such a life-altering healing approach to the public!

Village Music & Drama

Budding performers now have a place to hone their talent, thanks to a new local project…
Youngsters dreaming of a career in showbiz can take their first steps towards stardom at a brand-new theatre school… right on their doorstep in Barnt Green.
The Star Project Theatre School, which opened its doors on October 2, offers children aged six to 16 the chance to develop skills in dance, music and drama, whether they are planning to apply for stage school or simply want to have fun.
The project was founded by Jo Edwards, a professional dancer and dance teacher who grew up in Barnt Green and spotted that the village and surrounding area lacked a facility where youngsters could learn to perform.
"I wanted to bring something a bit different to Barnt Green, and give children an opportunity to learn a variety of performing arts from professional teachers," says Jo, who has been dancing since the age of two.
As well as getting involved in stage productions at Lickey Hills Primary and Wasely Hills High School, Jo attended the Maxine Grant School of Ballet and Birmingham Youth Dance.
At 16 she auditioned and was accepted for the Midlands Academy of Dance and Drama, graduating after three years with a distinction. Since then, the 21-year-old has worked as a TV presenter, dancer and dance teacher, and is now in a position to pass on her skills to local youngsters.
The Star Project allows youngsters to attend weekly three-hour sessions at Barnt Green Parish Centre (behind St Andrew's Church), where they will learn about dance, musical theatre, drama, TV drama and screen acting.
"As well as learning exciting things and having fun, the children will also gain in confidence and make new friends," adds Jo, who will be teaching alongside an experienced team including professional singing and drama coaches.
Workshops take place on Thursdays from 5–8pm and cost £15 per session – as we went to press, there were only a few of the 30 places left.
For this introductory term, children can attend on a pay-as-you-go basis (although booking is essential). In future a whole term must be booked and paid for in advance. However, taster sessions will still be available.

The Harborton History Museum opened its doors in June of 2016 with one local man's goal – to preserve Harborton, Virginia's past for future generations.
Founder Doug Belote's vision has been years in the making, starting in 2011 when he decided to display his collection of artifacts at Harborton's annual yard sale. Upon discovering many were interested in his findings, Belote noticed an opportunity to give back to his hometown and educate people on Harborton's history by starting a gallery to house his historical archives.
Located in the town's former U.S. Postal Service Office, Belote began filling the repurposed space with artifacts found around town, online auctions, and from donations made by town locals. He also built models of many historical Harborton buildings and constructed a replica of the Richmond sign for his exhibit.
Visitors are encouraged to check out the gift shop which features a variety of keepsakes for visitors to remember their experience, including embroidered hats, coffee mugs, Christmas tree ornaments, and many more unique souvenirs.
LogoUp.com is proud to showcase Doug Belote of the Harborton History Museum in our customer spotlight. The many museums across the nation that we have the opportunity to do business with means a great deal to us.
Be sure to check out the Harborton History Museum page on Facebook or see Belote's "Town of Harborton, Va" Facebook page for more information on the bayside town.

September Case of the Month
Authors: Jessica Lien, BS, MS-IV, Medical Student, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, Wis.; Gregory Avey, MD , Professor of Ophthalmology, Oculofacial Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, Wis.; Mark Lucarelli, MD, FACS, Professor of Ophthalmology, Oculofacial Surgery, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, Madison, Wis.
Why did you select this case for submission?
This case was recommended to me by my attending, Dr. Lucarelli, and I thought the topic was very interesting and informative.
What should readers learn from this case?
The goal of the case is to remind the reader that an orbital pseudotumor is a diagnosis of exclusion. Other causes of orbital inflammation need to be considered to ensure the appropriate treatment.
What did you learn from working on the case?
I didn't know much about the diagnosis of orbital pseudotumors and the other causes of orbital inflammation. I learned a lot from researching the various diagnoses to write the case.
How did guidance from senior staff at your institution impact your learning and case development?
I couldn't have written the case without the knowledge and teaching of Drs. Lucarelli and Avey. They spent the time with me to help me better understand the different diagnoses and imaging modalities.
Why did you choose Case in Point for submission of your case?
We chose Case in Point because we liked the format and online learning portion of the cases.
What is the appeal of online learning tools such as Case in Point as opposed to print learning venues?
With everything moving online, it seemed like a great place for our case. The question format and immediate feedback allows for critical thinking and makes it more likely that people will remember what they learned in the case.
Are you a regular reader of Case in Point? What are your favorite types of cases?
Yes, and as a regular reader my favorite types of cases are the rare but important ones. CIP offers outstanding exposure to images of unusual cases encountered at various institutions. I also like the collection of uncommon presentations of common entities.

It's infuriating how the Israelites, throughout the Old Testament so far, seem to be stuck in a sin cycle (see what I did there?). God tells them what to do, they choose not to (aka – sin), things get bad, and then they repent. You just want to yell at them, "don't you get what's happening here!?!" But then, if we look at our own lives, we tend to fall into the same cycle. Maybe we could learn from their mistakes.
Judges 9:22-10:18:
- 30-41 – Gaal spoke ill of Abimelech who, though he had not fully honored God, was still one of God's people.
- 53-57 – Interesting that a woman with such a significant story doesn't have her name mentioned. Though Abimelech experienced some success in war, ultimately, his evil was repaid in kind. Like a stone was dropped on his brothers, a millstone was dropped on his head.
- 1-5 – Presumably, both Tola, and Jair served God and Israel faithfully because no evil is mentioned.
- 10-16 – The Israelites continue the cycle of sinning against God and serving other gods and running into trouble. Each time, when the Israelites reach their threshold, they cry out to God and repent. This passage begs the question if God's forgiveness is ever limited.
Luke 24:13-53:
- 13-27 – Though the prophets had foretold what would happen to Jesus and Jesus tried to explain it himself before his death, many Jews thought he could not possibly be the Messiah because he died. They had had such hope before and now had lost it.
- 28-35 – Though quickly, the resurrected Jesus revealed himself to Cleopas and his friend.
- 36-44 – Obviously a resurrection is hard to believe because it doesn't happen often. The disciples convinced themselves that Jesus was just a spirit, so he not only showed his scars, but also ate food, which a spirit wouldn't do.
- 49 – The disciples were instructed to keep their work contained to Jerusalem until they received power from on high, which was the Holy Spirit, which they received on Pentecost.
Psalm 100:1-5:
- This Psalm encourages us to give thanks and speaks specifically of doing it first thing – when we come into his presence and when we enter his gates.
Proverbs 14:11-12:
- 12 – We should seek what is right to God instead of leaning on what we think or understand.

Now, teams of 5 are able to break down the mileage so that any one runner only needs to be able to cover 12 miles at an average of a 14 minute pace to be able to finish within the time limit. This way, hopefully, more folks will be tempted to create a team and see what all of the buzz around trail running is all about.
Don't fret, though! For our long distance lovers, we also have an "Ultra Division" for teams of two. The award categories go as follows:
1st place:
Ultra Division
2 Person Team
3 Person Team
4 Person Team
5 Person Team
If we get more than 10 teams in any division, we will go to second and third place awards as well.
This means that the race will start at 7 am on March 21, 2020 and end at 9 pm, allowing all teams to hang around for the finish to cheer for their fellow runners. I think this will make the whole experience more exciting for everyone.
New logo / medals being designed as we speak. I will post them when I have a proof.
More details here: http://www.chicotchallenge.com/p/race-doc.html
Happy Running!

Just last weekend me and my BF were walking home from a concert (that we left early, cuz fuck you Dave Pirner, but still mad love for the Meat Puppets). Some group of drunken suburbanites were walking towards us, like a block away. I move to the right, and the BF moves behind me single file like we always do, cuz hey, respect, or some shit. But no, there is this skinny bitch eyeing me up the whole time like "I'mma make her move to the grass cuz I'm so fucking important". I didn't move, she barely did and got a whole hip thrust of purse. I wish I had hip checked that bitch, honestly. And I didn't even realize how aggressive her move was until my BF was like, "I'm so glad you didn't move for her." I'm just floored how rude people can be.
What are your experiences with rude walkers?


text: Israel works with other nations and archaeological groups to continue excavations in the West Bank [Menahem Kahana/AFP/Getty Images] Washington, DC - Hobby Lobby, the US-based arts-and-crafts retailer recently fined for buying Iraqi artefacts on the black market, gave $25,000 to organisations based in Israeli settlements - including archaeological groups plundering Palestine's cultural heritage. WATCH: Hobby Lobby fined for buying ancient Iraqi artefacts (1:55) The payments were made by the Museum of the Bible (MB), Hobby Lobby's non-profit museum set to open in Washington, DC in November. The information comes from tax documents filed with the Internal Revenue Service, the US body responsible for collecting taxes. Non-profit organisations are required by law to file these tax forms, which are then made publicly available. Ahmed Rjoob, director-general of the Palestinian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, told Al Jazeera that Israel's theft of Palestine's cultural heritage "significantly impacts Palestinian social, economic, and cultural sustainability". "Israeli archaeological activities significantly impact the ability of Palestinians to access, use and develop their lands and habitats," he said. Excavating West Bank artefacts The MB donated $15,000 to UHLICARE Inc, the non-profit organisation for the University of the Holy Land (UHL), in 2015, the most recent year for which information is available. UHL's website boasts its location as two minutes away from Jerusalem's Old City in East Jerusalem, which Palestinians see as the capital of their presumptive state. The area has been occupied by Israel since the 1967 war that saw Israel occupy the totality of historic Palestine, including East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, along with the Syrian Golan Heights and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. The University of the Holy Land's website says it is "an internationally accredited, Christian-run, Bible-based" graduate school. Universtiy President Stephen Pfann lists "Qumran Studies" as one of his areas of expertise. Qumran is the site where the famed Dead Sea Scrolls were found. It's located in the portion of the West Bank called "Area C". The Oslo Accords II, signed in 1995, divided the West Bank into three regions, A, B and C, under varying Palestinian and Israeli control. OPINION: The antiquities looting crisis in the Middle East Area C, which comprises 61 percent of the West Bank, is under total Israeli control. The scrolls are written in Greek, Aramaic and ancient Hebrew. They have been attributed to various Jewish sects and are estimated to have been written between 400 and 300 BCE. Their discovery took place in 1946 and 1947, before Israel was founded. Subsequent discoveries took place under the guidance of Jordan, which claimed sovereignty over the West Bank in 1967. Pfann, who did not respond to requests for comment, appears to continue excavating artefacts in the occupied territories. Israel has acquired the vast majority of Dead Sea Scrolls, and works with international institutions on studies and further digs. Jordan holds a much smaller portion of the scrolls. Israel has worked with other nations and museums and archaeological organisations to study and continue excavations in the area. To Rjoob, their stewardship has been used for political purposes. Political tools "Archaeology has been used by the Israeli occupation as an important tool to [make] legitimate its illegal control over Palestine, utilising ancient biblical tales and sites to inspire Israeli public sentiment," he said. Furthermore, the intertwining of biblical sites and religious archaeologists draws greater support from Evangelical Christians in the United States, Israel's political allies. Two Christian archaeologists wrote that the January discovery of further artefacts at the 12th Qumran cave "proves" the scrolls belong to Israel. WATCH: Hundreds of looted artefacts return to Iraq (2:15) The three pieces of evidence presented are: area C was a part of "historic Israel", the languages of the scrolls, which do not include Arabic (even though later scrolls from nearby areas do) and Israel's care of the artefacts. The authors, Jeremiah Johnson and Craig Evans, both professors at Christian universities, wrote that their "friend and colleague" Cary Summers, president of the MB, was present for the discovery. Summers' website is filled with pro-Israel posts, touching on everything from archaeology to culinary issues. The MB is set to display artefacts from Qumran, occupied East Jerusalem's Silwan neighbourhood, which is the site of the controversial "City of David," a settler-archaeology site that is displacing native Palestinians. Whether artefacts are found in area A, B, C or East Jerusalem, international law says the artefacts belong inside Palestine, Rjoob said. 'Breaching international law' Rjoob listed various agreements that create customary international law that support Palestine's case: UNESCO accords, UN Security Council resolutions and, perhaps most clearly, the 1954 Hague Convention, an international treaty that serves as the framework to protect cultural heritage in times of armed conflict. According to the first protocol of this convention, those who signed the treaty will "prevent the exportation, from a territory occupied by it during an armed conflict, of cultural property". READ MORE: How a Palestinian brewery is taking on the US Both Israel and Palestine are signatories to this treaty, so in theory, Palestine "could sue Israel for breaching this Protocol before the International Court of Justice", Marina Lostal, a professor of international law at The Hague University who specialises in cultural property, told Al Jazeera. Regarding Hobby Lobby's financial support of the Israeli occupation archaeology, Lostal explained that international law on trafficking of cultural heritage does not include corporations in its framework. "This is not a weakness, per se, as it is for each state to incorporate international law in its domestic system," she said. The answer may lie in US domestic law, Lostal concluded. WATCH: UNESCO votes on Hebron's world heritage status (2:28) When "ownership of an antiquity is vested in a nation, one who removes the antiquity without permission is a thief, and the antiquities are stolen property", Patty Gerstenblith, a distinguished research professor of law at DePaul University, wrote in a 2016 Department of Justice guide to cultural property law. However, Palestine's status is a point of difficulty. While the ruling Palestinian Authority refers to itself as the "State of Palestine", and the territory is recognised as such by more than 70 percent of the UN's 193 member states, Israel considers the West Bank and Gaza as "disputed territories", and sees Jerusalem as its "eternal capital". The US does not recognise a Palestinian state, although it has spent decades working towards a two-state solution. The Trump administration has retreated from this stance. Regardless, Rjoob said Palestine has "plans to repatriate all artefacts that left Palestine illegally, especially those still seized by the Israeli Occupation" through mechanisms of international law. Archaeological ethics With international law and decades of US diplomacy pitted against working to remove artefacts from Palestine, why do so many archaeologists work with Israel? Michael Press - an archaeologist Visiting Scholar at the Borns Jewish Studies Program at Indiana University, with experience working in Israel who tracks archaeology in the area - said it's a combination of ideological beliefs and lack of knowledge of international law. Scholars are "not generally aware of the legal issues involved", Press said, and archaeologists who work in Israel "tend to be less interested in legal and ethical issues, more conservative politically, and more pro-Israel". Israel's Civil Administration, a governing body in the West Bank, is responsible for issuing permits to conduct digs in the occupied territories, including those enjoyed by Pfann, Summers and any others working at Qumran. READ MORE: Israeli land claims - Archaeology and ideology The Civil Administration operates under a notorious lack of transparency. Its director's identity is not publicly available and there is no public list of artefacts from the West Bank in its possession. Press said the Civil Administration gives permits to theologians and biblical archaeologists with "questionable qualifications". Ghattas Sayej, a Palestinian archaeologist who has worked for both the Palestinian Department of Archaeology and the Civil Administration from 1992 to 1994, said his time working with the governing body was the "worst of [my] archaeological career". The Civil Administration's officers work with impunity and support of the Israeli military, Sayej said, and international law is disregarded. It is a "destructive machine and has nothing to do with archaeology. It is a tool to the occupier and the Israeli army to achieve whatever they wish," Sayej added. Sayej concluded by encouraging archaeologists to consider the implications of their actions. Support beyond art The MB's support of settlements extends beyond archaeology. The organisation gave $10,000 in 2015 to Ohr Torah Stone Institute of Israel (OTSI), an educational initiative that allows Jewish people to study Jewish holy texts in a "Zionistic, intellectually-stimulating and open environment". While the MB's tax filings list the organisation's address in New York, OTSI's website lists a mailing address in Efrat, a Jewish-only settlement in the West Bank, south of Jerusalem. Hobby Lobby also cosponsors "Passages," a programme that takes Evangelical Christians to Israel and the occupied territories in order to reinforce support for Zionism. OPINION: Zionism's problem with intersectionality Passages mimics the Taglight-Birthright programme, which aims to drum up support for Israel among the Jewish diaspora. Hobby Lobby and the MB did not respond to Al Jazeera's request for comment on their settlement support. As the MB prepares to open its doors in November, it doesn't appear that cooperation with Israel will decrease. Press, the scholar who tracks archaeology in Israel, said it's long been in the country's interest to present itself as the steward of biblical history and "its association with the Museum of the Bible follows that model".

Whether students are enrolling in their first college courses, putting maximum effort into their upper-division coursework, or nearing the end of their educational paths, they're keeping an eye on their goals. This focus—their reason for attending college in the first place—can spark their motivation even on the days they're struggling with assignments or stressed by their responsibilities.
But what are those goals? And how does college help them achieve those goals? In our Spring 2015 Student Engagement Insights survey, we asked over 3,000 college students about their goals and how they think college will enable them to get where they want to go.
To begin, let's look at college students' responses to the question: What are your goals after college?
Going by these results, it's clear that most students attend college to improve their chances of obtaining a fulfilling career that lets them pay the bills. Among the choices listed on the survey, a good or better job ranked the highest, netting 80% of the student vote. Nearly two-thirds (62%) hope that their college achievements will result in a high-paying job (or, one that pays better than their current job). These results align with students' answers to a question we previously covered at the Engaging Minds blog: "Was getting a good job your primary reason for attending college?" 73% of students said that yes, this was true for them.
Many students also told us that they have plans for continuing their formal education. More than half (56%) indicated that they're hoping to pursue an additional degree after they complete their current program. Whether this means they'll be working towards a bachelor's degree after earning an associate degree, or they want to attend graduate school after completing their undergrad studies, a good percentage of students have additional educational goals beyond their current college experience.
Five additional post-college goals, as named by college students
As noted above, ten percent of our surveyed students noted that they had additional goals after graduation (aside from those named above). We observed trends among their responses, and we've summarized them below:
1. Pursue additional career-focused training, schooling, or certification. As we observed earlier, more than half of our survey respondents want to pursue another degree. But in addition, many students said that, once they finish college, they hope to pursue "certification paths," a "cosmetology/beautician license," "additional technical certificates," "law school," "medical school," and other programs that prepare them to practice in fields that require licenses or advanced education.
2. Start a business. Several of the students we surveyed said that they plan to take an entrepreneurial route after graduation. For these students, the knowledge and skills attained during college will apply to the work they'll put into building their own companies, services, practices, and firms.
3. Achieve personal satisfaction. For other students, the goals are less tangible (but by no means less important). Students listed "happiness," "greater and broader experience," "travel," "work/life balance," "pride," "more knowledge," and "personal completeness/wholeness" among their post-college goals. Others look forward to "doing what [they] want to do," or a "job where I can grow but still be true to my beliefs," while still others want to "retire" and "rest on [their] satisfaction of going to school at an elderly age."
4. Serve and support others. We were encouraged by the students who wanted to use what they'd learned in college for the purpose of "helping others in need" and "pass[ing] knowledge on to others." Many mentioned that they want to join a national or global aid effort, whether by working for a non-profit or NGO, joining the Peace Corps, or "provid[ing] aid for children and individuals with disabilities in war-torn countries." Others stuck a bit closer to home, naming such activities as "mentoring," "start[ing] a family," "utilizing my newly gained knowledge to help others in my community," or "passing on knowledge about… my experience in my specific school and helping whoever I can will attend that school in the future."
5. Secure a better financial outlook. In addition to the 62% who say they have a goal of a high-paying (or higher-paying) job, several students commented that their goal is to "become financially independent." One student put a date to the goal, writing of a desire to experience "financial freedom in two years after I graduate."
Students name the top way college enables them to reach their goals
In this same survey, over three thousand students named the key way that they believe college will enable them to achieve these goals.
Nearly half (49%) of the students stated that the degree itself will help them get to where they want to go, whereas nearly one quarter (23%) said that the subject knowledge will be the key to reaching and achieving their goals. Clearly, the majority of students believe that their academic achievements will be the key to achieving their post-college goals.
Other factors proved to be a priority to fewer college students. A much smaller percentage (14%) said that building contacts and networking were the most valuable part of their college experience. And, only 12% said that critical-thinking skills were the key factor in helping them reach their goals. However, this doesn't mean they devalue critical thinking; in a previous survey from Fall 2014, 99% of students agreed that critical thinking is an important skill, and 92% believe what they learn in class sharpens their critical thinking skills for the "real world."
Truth be told, most students have many goals in mind when they decide to enter college. Likewise, they undoubtedly recognize that multiple factors will help them achieve their personal and professional goals. But, by knowing and understanding their key goals and priorities, we can be better prepared to help them succeed in those areas that matter the most to them.

Obama upside-down by 15% in latest poll
According to the latest presidential tracking numbers from the Rasmussen poll, only 26% of registered voters say that they "strongly approve" of Barack Obama's job performance, while 41% "strongly disapprove" - leaving him upside-down by 15 points among passionate voters.
The poll also finds that (currently), in a hypothetical general election matchup, Obama leads Mitt Romney 48% to 42%, and leads Rick Santorum 48% to 41%, (no numbers were available for Gingrich or Paul).
Meanwhile, Republicans lead Democrats on a "generic" congressional ballot by 4 points (43% to 39%). (The generic ballot just asks people which party they plan to vote for in congressional races without mentioning specific candidate's names).
Some other interesting findings:
53% Favor Repeal of Health Care Law
"While Congress continues to battle over President Obama's contraceptive mandate, most voters still favor repeal of the national health care law.
"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 53% of Likely U.S. Voters at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law, including 42% who Strongly Favor repeal. Forty-two percent (42%) oppose repeal, with 30% who are Strongly Opposed. ..."
Partisan Trends: GOP Holds Steady, Democrats Fall To New Low
"The number of Republicans in the country was virtually unchanged in February, while the number of Democrats fell to a new low for the third month in a row. During February, 36.0% of Americans considered themselves Republicans. That's up from 35.9% in January and the highest number of Republicans measured since December 2010. ..."
Economy Still Number One on Voters' Minds
"The economy remains far and away the most important thing on voters' minds this election season on a list of 10 key issues regularly surveyed by Rasmussen Reports.
"A new national telephone survey finds that 82% of Likely U.S. Voters see the economy as a Very Important issue in terms of how they will vote in the next congressional election. That's up two points from December, but generally consistent with findings since August 2007. ..."

Goofy UN names Saudi Arabia to head 'women's rights' panel
(NationalSentinel) United Nations: Here's another classic example of how truth is stranger than fiction.
The United Nations just named Saudi Arabia to head up the Commission on the Status of Women, a post the oil sheikdom will hold from 2018-2022.
This is one of the most misogynistic countries on the planet, where women basically don't even count as second-class citizens.
"Electing Saudi Arabia to protect women's rights is like making an arsonist into the town fire chief," said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch. "It's absurd — and morally reprehensible.
"This is a black day for women's rights, and for all human rights," said Neuer.
"Saudi discrimination against women is gross and systematic in law and in practice. Every Saudi woman," Neuer continued, "must have a male guardian who makes all critical decisions on her behalf, controlling a woman's life from her birth until death. Saudi Arabia bans women from driving cars. Why did the U.N. choose the world's leading promoter of gender inequality to sit on its gender equality commission?"
That's a great question, but the head-scratching decision is just another prime example of why the U.S. should completely withdraw from the UN and save the money for our own country.
"Today the UN sent a message that women's rights can be sold out for petro-dollars and politics," said Neuer, "and it let down millions of female victims worldwide who look to the world body for protection."

Escapist News Now: Duke Nukem RPG Coming?
Interceptor Entertainment briefly teased what could be the next installment in the long-running first person shooter franchise, Duke Nukem.
Out of the 3 DN game I've played, the best one is Manhattan Project hands-down. So no it doesn't have to be an FPS, although I'm not very fond of top-down shooters.
Duke's personality is about being OP as hell. An RPG makes surprising amounts of sense. Certainly more than a two-weapon modern FPS does.
Well put. Manhattan Project was a really fun game, a nice throwback to the original Duke Nukem games in a way (which were shooting platformers, not FPSs). If they can keep this far away from the people that worked on DNF, it might become a good game!
its really going to take a miracle for them to revive Duke from the dead... they could barely give away the last game for a measly $3 Brand New. Its on 99% of "worst game/most disappointing games ever" lists.
I am shocked they are even trying to do anything with Duke Nukem in the title, i instantly think of FAIL when i hear anything Duke related now. Maybe going to a different genre is the only way to go, either that or just stop.
Already has been. Twice.
Though the ignorance isn't surprising; Duke Nukem really didn't take off until Duke3D and back then it had the benefit of competing with Doom (and actually doing very well). It was a pioneer shooter.
It will go from Duke Nukem Forever to Duke Nukem RPG, never!!!
Pass, even Duke Nukem 3D wasn't as good as the original Duke Nukem games and it's been all downhill from there. Also, the Duke doesn't have enough personality to be in RPG. He makes Lightning look complex and well drawn.
It sounds like they're basically trying to do the Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light thing.
I don't know, it could work, I guess. But the mechanics had better be exquisite and the code bug-free, because I don't think Duke Nukem as a character is a big draw right now. And there are certainly other offerings in the isometric RPG field at present.
after the let down of forever, im very skeptical about this installment if its true. i have decided not to touch any titles anymore from gearbox.
Nope. This is another Survivor 2299. Top-down RPG? Come on that's too stupid
If they really want Duke in an RPG, DLC him into Borderlands.
Does this person... even know a thing about Duke Nukem...? Only two games in the series are first-person shooters. TWO! Just 3D and Forever! We've also got 1, 2, Manhattan Project, Land of the Babes, Zero Hour, and Time to Kill at the very least! It's like Army Men. There isn't one central genre. It jumbles around all over the place. Duke Nukem works somewhat like Simpsons videogames, it seems.
Can we at least agree that this is a better fit than the pinball game?
To a Duke Nukem fan, if they still exist, that title can be construed as lewd.
Duke in RPG?
P.S. Or maybe a pre-steroid-quel.
hmmm and here I thought RPGs requires interesting main characters and universe, well....if they can make a rpg out of mario they might as well try with duke nukem.
Showing up for rpg audition
Mario: I jump on stuff, crawl through drains, shoot fireballs with my fingers, fly with a wing hat, have a tall green brother and a stupid princess to safe.
Duke: I kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all outta gum.
Top down duke nukem rpg... so duke nukem meets diablo is where my mind went with that... I can get on that hype train
But surely The Random Encounter came out years ago...
OH, my bad, I thought that said Serious Sam RPG. :P
