Where do determined entrepreneurs go to get information about setting up a software company? In Vani Kola's case the answer was surprisingly simple and logical — the public library in Sunnyvale.
Obviously, the future CEO of RightWorks in San Jose, California picked the right reading material because three years after her visit to the library in 1995, she has accumulated $ 25 million in capital and sells her product — corporate purchasing systems — at $ 250,000 and up.
"All I had was gut instinct and a dream," said Kola. "It is going well. The company is doing great."
For Kola, who is in her mid 30s, the journey from Hyderabad, India to the US had few glitches. A happy, secure childhood gave her confidence to go after her dreams. A straight A student, she graduated with honors in electrical engineering in the top ten at Osmania University.
Vani and Srinivas Kola had an arranged marriage, but the families had been friends for many years. In 1985, they came to Arizona State University for graduate studies.
Both graduated in electrical engineers. Her husband, 39, is now a consultant for Cisco Systems. While he went on to doing his Ph D, Vani held engineering and technical management positions at Consilium and Empros.
At Consilium she was responsible for building a scheduling system used by the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing and inventory control. At Empros, a division of the Control Data Corporation, she was responsible for building a real-time software application for the management of power generation and transmission by electric utilities
Kola realized a few years ago that the growing Web enterprise computing was ready for a revolution and that she could build heavy duty corporate computing systems.
After her research at the library and writing a business plan, she graduated to the next step: raising money. It proved to be easy. Investors and engineers from prominent companies like Cisco and Silicon Graphics listened to her and gave advice, encouragement and support.
Among the first to show interest in her ideas was Prabhu Goel, one of the most successful of Indian venture capitalists in Silicon Valley.
She met with him at an event connected with an education program in India started by Goel with his $ 10 million.
Introducing herself after the event and following up with phone calls, she impressed Goel. 'She was very persistent,' he told The Wall Street Journal, 'but in an engaging, not obnoxious, way.' He would soon become her key adviser.
Dr Suhas Patil, yet another successful entrepreneur and VC in the valley, backed her up with about $ 2 million of his money,
Kola was on a roll. She and her staff honed her Web-based technology from start to finish corporate systems and made her pitch, successfully to Fujitsu's US computer corporate procurement systems.
There was a major setback: Kola's product turned out to be incompatible with another key system already at use at Fujitsu. The deal fell through, but 45 days later, she was back, this time with a new, improved version of her product that fitted in and worked perfectly with the company's operating system.
"The essence of what I accomplished, I feel it is not that hard. The most important criterion is drive. You have to be compelled to give all it all you have," she said.
Today, RightWorks is headquartered in San Jose and maintains sales offices in Atlanta, Calgary, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Toronto and Washington DC.
RightWorks offers a software solution for purchasing professionals. It is a web-based procurement package that allows purchasing departments to negotiate the best deals with suppliers and streamlines the order and approval process. The result is saved time and money and no more chasing paper trails.
A private company, RW does not release information on its revenue and the number of its employees.
The real secret to Kola's success is her focus and her never-give-up philosophy. Being smart and savvy has also been a plus in advertising her company and communicating with executives. For example, Kola sent Fortune 500 CEOs a product pitch printed on oversize cardboard that no one could throw away — it was too big and too hard to crumble.
She was pregnant with her second child when it was time for a scheduled print advertisement campaign. She posed for the pictures. She took the newborn to the East Coast when she demonstrated her product to companies.
As far as she is concerned, it is all a part of the game.
"You have to navigate your course, check the direction of the wind. With the smart ideas, you have to weigh probability," Kola said.
One thing Kola was absolutely sure would never work: running the company with her husband as co-partner.
"It was not what considered a recipe for success. Start-up companies can be stressful and there is lot of pressure, and for two partners to be involved in the day-to-day operations, it is a bad equation," Kola said.
"Also, him {her husband} having another job was a safety net," she added. "It is not wise to put all your eggs in one basket."
Like other working women, Kola balances both home and work. And if there are events that conflict in her two worlds, she has her own way of resolving it.
"I look at it in the context of being important, whether it is business or pleasure. It all depends," she said.
Her advice to young entrepreneurs: "Be what you want. Chase your dreams. Only you know what you want and what you are willing to settle for."
Kola believes her success was a combination of timing, enterprise and determination.
"I know that all entrepreneurs have arrogance and confidence, but I really knew I had the right idea at the right time. It was a matter of evolution. It was time," said Kola simply.
"We must be open to new ideas," she added.

If you've been playing Assassin's Creed Origins since launch, unless you got far too distracted by photo mode, you're probably now at the cleaning up quests stage. I'm at the riding around Egypt on a flaming steed stage so it was probably a good thing that the Trial of the Gods arrived again yesterday to distract me from quipping 'ooh burn' every so often.
Sobek, God of the Nile, army, military, fertility, AND crocodiles has arrived in Ancient Egypt via a glitch in the Animus and it turns out he's really angry about being stuck in the swamp up to his middle. If you already completed Anubis a couple of weeks ago, you know the drill but here are some tips and tricks in the above video for defeating the toothy furious God and the loot you'll get for sending him back into the animus where he belongs. There's also a slight spoiler if you haven't finished the story but the video labels it and you can skip through.
- Assassin's Creed Origins guide
- 12 essential Assassin's Creed Origins tips to know before you play
- How to get the Assassin's Creed Origins secret armour
Just like Anubis, Origins suggests that you should be level 40 to beat Sobek so if you're kicking around level 35 or 36 you're going to want to climb a bit to stop one hit kills. You can probably get through this at 38 like I did with Anubis but I'm now level 40 and using the Conductor of Souls sword I got from the previous god. If you're just looking to get to Sobek, he's over in the north east of the map in the middle of Herakleion Nome. Fast travel to the Yw Huts, tag up the event, (which is clearly labelled on the map) so you know where you're going, and then head on over.
For your trouble you'll get 1000XP, 250 Drachmas and, most importantly the Was Scepter. This dropped at level 40 for me with a slight improvement on quality than my current weapon. It has 277 damage per second, and comes with health for critical hits which is a nice bonus. This time around there's no separate gear set item so I assume once you get all four of the Anubis pieces of loot, you'll get the full Anubis armour. Two down, two to go.

Up to 70 percent of milk and dairy products sold in Taiwan contain residues of chemicals and drugs used for livestock animals, which can be harmful to humans, according to an investigative report from the Chinese-language Business Weekly published today.
The contaminated products were produced by some of the nation's leading dairy companies, such as Uni-President, Wei Chuan, Kuang Chuan and Taiwan Bifido.
Chemical residues ranged from antibiotics, plasticizers and anti-depressants to contraceptives, estrogen compounds and other pharmaceuticals.
Business Weekly said it commissioned Chen Liang-yu (陳良宇), a professor of biotechnology at Ming Chuan University in Taipei, to undertake analysis studies of dairy products.
Chen's analysis presented four major findings:
‧ Antibiotics: All samples were found to contain metabolite of the antibiotic pyrimido Azepine.
‧ Plasticizers: All samples were found to contain the plasticizer dibutyl phthalate. The following had contaminants from two or more plasticizers: Ruisui Brand Chocolate Flavored Milk from Uni-President, Papaya Milk from Wei Chuan, Good Friend Cocoa Milk from Taiwan Bifido and High Quality Pure Milk from Kuang Chuan.
‧ Estrogen and Contraceptives: Ruisui Brand Chocolate Flavored Milk from Uni-President was found to contain tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone, a metabolite of estrogen and contraceptive drugs. Homogenized whole milk from Kuang Chuan contained hydroxy-norgestrel-methyloxime, another metabolite.
‧ Tranquilizers and Anti--Depressants: Good Friend Cocoa Milk from Taiwan Bifido contained clomipramine, a metablite of tranquilizer and anti-depressant drugs. The Dr Milker Whole Milk brand from Uni-President contained dehydroxyl-vincadine, another metabolite from this class of drugs.
Officials at the Food and Drug Administration said as this was a report from the private sector, local health bureaus would now monitor dairy products and send samples for analysis.

I studied horticulture in the Netherlands so, when I moved back to the states I realized I didn't know how to speak gardening in English! There is a huge, very specific vocabulary we use to describe plants, soil, maintenance etc. Lucky for me botanical Latin is the same everywhere. I just happen to speak it with a Dutch accent, much to the comic relief of all my friends.
Help is on it's way! Horticulture powerhouses Maria Zampini and Pamela Bennett have just published Garden-pedia; An A- Z Guide to Gardening Terms. Thanks to this new book, people like my brother-in-law Ken can join the conversation instead of glazing over when we start to talk about gardening. Finally, a clear, concise book with over 200 useful terms for the layman gardener. I think it would also be an excellent guide for summer staff at garden centers and, would benefit Master Gardeners and horticulture students as well. What better gift is there for that special gardener in your life? Mother's Day isn't too far off…
Where was this book when I needed it !?
Visit Maria's website to purchase a single copy or to place a wholesale order. A portion of the proceeds goes to The Ohio University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program.
Win a Free Copy!
Tell us why you need this book for a chance to win a copy from my friend Maria Zampini. Leave us a message on the American Beauties Native Plants Facebook page or write to me at: email@example.com. We'll select a winner on March 31st.

Job Title: Chief Adventure Dog/Chief of Snake Deterence Squad
Where Allie Came From:
Allie was adopted from the Humane Society of the White Mountains. She was brought in as a stray (ironically on the same day that we moved into our desert house.) Because of her friendly nature she was a favorite with the shelter staff. However, because she was all black, no one wanted to adopt her. She was at the shelter for three months before we adopted her.
Our old cattledog, Carpark, was dying from rectal cancer. We'd only lived in our desert house for a few weeks when we got the news. We thought the diarrhea was from the stress of moving at the age of 15. Sadly it wasn't. I fed him hamburger and rice every day and we had him on pain pills. He loved exploring around the house and eating was still his favorite daily activity, but mainly he wanted to stay inside and sleep in the bedroom. It was so sad to see my husband's adventure companion falling so ill. Carpark had canoed many a white-water river and run uncountable miles beside a mountain bike. But all good dogs must leave one day.
We wanted another cattledog because of their physical agility and their loyalty. However, not all are good with kids. Having a four year old and a six year old can be a challenge with some cattledogs. So we started searching and networking. A couple days after the vet helped Carpark pass in our bedroom (he died in my lap eating ice cream) we heard about a black dog that might be cattledog or kelpie. She loved kids and would likely make a great outdoor adventure dog.
Allie was so scared when the volunteer drove her to our home. And when my husband tried taking her on her first bike ride she ran away and hid under his truck. However, with lots of love, encouragement, and treats Allie turned into the best adventure dog ever. Recently she went on a 14 mile bike ride in the morning summer heat then that evening we had to search her out somewhere in the desert. Her second snake bite was, fortunately, a dry bite, so she was able to run the last 3 miles of the 10 mile event. (Her first bite was NOT a dry bite. She could barely walk. Fortunately it happened on our driveway so I had her at the vet in 20 minutes.)
Allie is the dog we would clone, if we believed in the ethics of that. She is friendly, endearing, and great on an adventure. We took her with us to Colorado and she didn't complain once about being cooped in a car. Of course, 24 hours after her snake bite she complained about being locked in the house until her final blood tests came back. I just couldn't get her to understand that bleeding to death was a possibility if she got hurt so soon after a snake bite.

Kris started life as a DJ in 1993 and had his first official gig at a local venue with 500 people in
an assembly hanger. He was by now playing a variety of private parties during 1994 and 1995.
During this time he also started with his first guest-appearences at local non-commercial
radiostations in the south of Germany. In 1995 Kris entered the local club scene with the help and
introduction of Basti Schwarz (a part of Tiefschwarz), at that time resident of the highly
acquainted Red Dog Club in Stuttgart, where many famous artists like Tony Humphries, Larry
Heard, Masters at Work, Frankie Feliciano, Mike Dunn et al. had been guests over the years.
His first residency came in 1996 at the club 'Radio Bar' for approximately 2 years. Throughout
1997 and 1998, he also played regularly at venues like 'Pauls Boutique', had several gigs at 'M1-
The Club', the 'Marlboro Breakfast Club' as local support as well as the 'Depot Club' in
Tubingen. During this time, Kris started with his first own weekly radio show live on air at the
non-commercial radio station SF 97,5FM. From 1997 to 2000 every Thursday night, 9 p.m. until
midnight CET, was the live broadcast of 'Houseaffaires' on air. Nearly all local Deejays and
Residents of the metropolitan area of Stuttgart had been guests at Kris' radio show.

State Department Report, Argentina
"Patterns of Non-Compliance"
The State Department's annual report on International Child Abduction lists countries that demonstrated patterns of noncompliance, as defined by the Sean and David Goldman International Child Abduction Prevention and Return Act (ICAPRA).
Per ICAPRA, a pattern of noncompliance is defined as the persistent failure:
-of a Convention country to implement and abide by provisions of the Convention;
-of a non-Convention country to abide by bilateral procedures that have been established between the United States and such country;
-of a non-Convention country to work with the USCA to resolve abduction cases.
Persistent failure may be evidenced in a country by the presence of one or more of the following criteria:
-thirty percent or more of the total abduction cases in such country are unresolved abduction cases;
-the Foreign Central Authority regularly fails to fulfill its responsibilities pursuant to the Convention or any bilateral procedures between the United States and such country;
-the judicial or administrative authority of a Convention or bilateral procedures country fails to regularly implement and comply with the provisions of the Convention or bilateral procedures agreement;
-law enforcement authorities regularly fail to enforce return orders or determinations of rights of access rendered by the judicial or administrative authorities of such country.
Argentina was found to be demonstrating patterns of non-compliance in 2014 for two reasons; their Percentage of Unresolved Cases (Thirty percent or more of the total abduction cases in such country are unresolved abduction cases as defined by ICAPRA. Calculated by dividing total number of unresolved abduction cases as of the end of the reporting period on December 31, 2014 by total number of abduction cases at the end of the reporting period on December 31, 2014) and their Judicial Performance (The judicial or administrative branch, as applicable, of the national government of a Convention country or a bilateral procedures country fails to regularly implement and comply with the provisions of the Convention or bilateral procedures, as applicable). Argentina also had 4 open cases in 2014 that were unresolved and pending for over 1 year; one access case open for over 600 days, 2 abduction cases pending for more than 1400 days, and one other abduction case that has been pending for over 2000 days. For these reasons, Argentina was categorized as "demonstrating patterns of non-compliance" in 2014.

"As we mourn, Im deeply thankful to our friends and well-wishers who have formed a protective circle around us so we can grieve in peace...I would specially like to thank the Mumbai Police for being by our side through it all and making sure we got the space and privacy we needed, to do what was necessary. Thank you for your prayers and understanding," he posted on his Twitter handle.
Sridevi died on February 24 in a Dubai hotel where, the Dubai Police said, she drowned in a bathtub after losing consciousness. Sridevi's mortal remains arrived in Mumbai on Tuesday night, around 72 hours after her sudden and shocking demise in Dubai.
Sridevi's final journey was held on a decorated truck carrying the iconic actor's mortal remains to the Vile Parle crematorium, where the final rites took place.
Superstars like Rekha, Hema Malini, Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Akshay Khanna, Sonam Kapoor, Tabu, Jacqueline Fernandez and many more had earlier arrived for the prayer meeting being held at the Celebration Sports Club in Lokhandwala.
Sridevi, monikered Indian cinema's first woman superstar, is survived by her husband Boney Kapoor and their two daughters Jahnvi and Khushi.

Daisy had her 9 month shearing this last weekend. She is SO much happier with the ability to move around. Actually, I think she's barely stopped moving. And only 2 days in and she's already growing it back.
Using the link in the IAGARB website, I made her a coat with some heavy duty fleece fabric from Joanne Fabrics. Actually, I made three sizes since I really couldn't estimate the size I'd need. But the large worked fine and by day 2 she's almost ready to be out of it.
Her fiber, I have to say, is stunning. It is as soft as a cloud, the staple length is impressive at approx 4 inches and the yield was over 480 grams (or over 16 oz). Which is really amazing to me for only 3 month's of growth.
My plan was to mix it with Merino. But, I'm a little torn and may just spin it as is.
There's certainly enough to test both ways. Which alone will be a great experiment. I'll probably crochet it up in a simple scarf as soon as I'm done spinning up some glitzy yarn to get up on my ETSY site. I guess I better get started though afterall, It will grow back fast!

Home > Camp Strategic Plan > Program Facilities
The Pacific Harbors Council (PHC) Executive Board designated Camp Thunderbird as their primary camp for delivering Scouting to youth. This plan identifies the programs and resources that Camp Thunderbird will need to support.
This plan inventories the programs and the necessary resources to support each program. The resources are related to the Program. A simple relational database was developed to support this approach.
Program – A recurring BSA event or activity for Scouts and/or Scouters. Appendix A provides the Inventory of Camp Thunderbird programs.
Resources – Resources are camp facilities or capabilities that are required to be in place to support camp programs. Appendix B provides the inventory of Camp Thunderbird resources.
Program Resources – Identifies the relationship between programs and resources. Establishing the relationship allows the grouping of resources by program. Appendix C is a matrix that shows the Programs and resources relationships.
The plan is intended to define "what" is needed not "how" they are to be used or acquired. Although the camp does have existing resources that have traditional use, future development efforts should not be restricted from designing a multi-functional camp facility.
The relationship between resources and programs also illustrates the relative priority of given resources. Resources supporting many programs are likely more important than resources that support single or a few programs.

Vitality and Dynamism: Interstitial Dialogues of Language, Politics, and Religion in Morocco's Literary Tradition
Author (Faculty):
Kirtsin Ruth Bratt, Jonas Elbousty and Devin Stewart
Publication Date:
In Moroccan studies, literary criticism has focused on questions of migration, identity, secularism, and religious fanaticism—issues that often examine Morocco within a colonial context. Vitality and Dynamism redefines this focus in Moroccan studies by looking at local themes and movements, including the relationships between subcultures and languages within Morocco. Topics in the volume include concepts of the self, intersections of self-identity and community, and the Moroccan reclaiming of identity in the postcolonial sphere. By extending discussion beyond traditional concepts, Vitality and Dynamism celebrates a new side of Moroccan literature.

Sophie(+) Sunday
During my blogging drought, much has happened in our household dynamic. Most notably and awesomely, Sophie is no longer an only child. I mentioned my desire to rescue another cat about six months ago...well, it didn't go exactly as planned. It started okay enough. I fell in love...like head over heels in love...with this little puffball who looked like a "Charlotte" to me:
One of the photos posted on the rescue agency's website.
You see, in my head, I've been hoping to rescue another cat for a long time. A girl can dream, after all. Due to her kidney problems, Sophie would be considered a "less adoptable" cat if we didn't find her...and what a loss that would have been if no one was ever on the receiving end of her affection. I knew that if I ever got the chance to adopt again, I wanted a "less adoptable" cat...an older cat, and injured or ill cat (as long as Sophie's health wouldn't be in jeopardy), or a black cat. The long-hair was sort of a foregone conclusion for me...most people do not know how or want to care for a cat with long hair. They require a bit more maintenance than your average cat. However, none of that occurs to people when they simply set their eyes on a cute, fluffy kitten.
When Nick gave his [resigned] go-ahead, we talked it over with our vet. She strongly urged us to bring in a kitten if we wanted Sophie to bond with her new sibling. (So, an older cat was out of the running.)
We first popped into a a rescue agency in early June, but that was a little early for this year's batch of kittens to be old enough for adoption. Still, we walked around and visited with the cats in cages...those places are heartbreaking. I have such admiration for people who work there and don't end up adopting 100 cats. The surrendered cats especially...they all look so sad...looking for their owners and feeling so abandoned.
Side note:
I quickly bonded with a beautiful boy named Mareo. He was a long-haired polydactyl with soulful eyes. I had such a strong connection to him that I would have ignored that he wasn't technically a kitten. Unfortunately, Mareo had something else working against him...he was FeLV positive. He could only go into a single cat home or a multicat home if the other cats were also FeLV positive. I followed him closely on the agency's website...scheming who of my cat-less friends I could coerce into adoption. He was finally adopted on September 14th...then surrendered soon after his new owner discovered she had a serious allergy to cats. I was so very happy when I saw he was adopted for good on September 21st...and this time it stuck.
Anyway, back to Charlotte. We met her a week after our first visit to the rescue agency. The foster mom was pretty intimidating at first...which is good. She took in 3 of a 6-kitten, all-black litter when they were 3 weeks old (another volunteer took the other 3). She was a protective mama-bear, making sure her babies would go home with trustworthy people. She warmed up to become something more like you'd imagine Mrs. Clause would be as soon as she made her decision about us. She took us back to one of the little rooms where people can interact with cats.
Either she liked what she saw in me or I had "SUCKER" written on my forehead, because she kept adding cats to the little room before stepping out to give us some time to engage the kittens. If you've never been in a confined space with at least three highly socialized 8 week old kittens, you haven't lived.
After a space of time—I have no concept of the actual amount of time due to my zen, kitten-addled state—the foster mom stepped back into the room and sat in the chair I had vacated when I popped down to the floor to be overrun with kittens. She told us that there were many inquiries into Charlotte and her brother who was in the room ( see were both long-haired cats). She had Charlotte narrowed down to either us or another lady she said. Then she got crafty.
She gestured toward's Charlotte's sister who was also in the room with us (at the time her name was Kira). She said, and I know this is verbatim because it flipped a switch in me, "Nobody wants this one." Since that Saturday was the first time ever they were onsite at the rescue, and we arrived minutes after they opened, it had to do with something on the online listing. I'm 100% sure it was because of one of the photos they posted for Kira on the rescue site. You see, they caught her mid-yawn. When I saw it, I thought it looked like she was smiling, I thought she looked adorable. However, I could see how someone less familiar with cats could mistake it for a hiss.
Aside from ridiculous and untrue superstitions, black cats aren't typically adopted because it's difficult to photograph their expressive faces.
Then she played her fall-card: "If you agree to adopt Kira as well, I'll guarantee that you will get [Charlotte]." Now whether or not there were any other inquiries on Charlotte or that was just a ploy, I'll never know. I trusted her statement on the brother because she didn't try to push him on us. There's also a belief (that has since been proven untrue by animal behaviorists) that it's easier to integrate a male kitten into a multicat household than a female...and that male cats are friendlier in the end. All completely untrue of course. It's just a stigma that has been perpetuated long enough to become an uncontested truth. Male kittens have a better chance for adoption.
Even without the dangling carrot of Charlotte, I knew that we were bringing Kira—who we renamed Emma—home. Nick told me later that he was prepared to walk out of there with 2 kittens all along...but I honestly only had single-cat intentions going in. The rescue agency was neutering them that week, so we could take them home the following weekend.
So, there you have it. The cats now outnumber humans in this house...the kittens are growing like weeds, and Sophie has adapted to them very well. She has even come to their defense when a cat we were cat-sitting was growling at them. Typical big sister...she doesn't have patience for their energy ALL the time, but she won't let anyone hurt them either.

Sophie Sunday
My poor, anthropomorphized pet. I sometimes forget that she's at a disadvantage...we're not cats, and we'll never understand her all the way.
We've been a tight unit, the three of us. I would live in a cat colony if I could, so I've always been on board with rescuing another cat...Nick? Not so much—mainly because we didn't want to rock the boat with Sophie.
She's a dog in a cat's body, truly. She's the sweetest and most engaging cat I've ever known. We didn't want her to go all territorial and lose her awesomeness. She is also on a prescription diet from a kidney illness she was diagnosed with early-on in her life as a domesticated cat. The prescription diet will help her keep it in check, but the vet also warned that stress could trigger a relapse.
Then, our condo sold super fast and we couldn't find a house that we loved in Conservancy Place, a community along conservancy land in my hometown...but we did find a lot, so we decided to build. In that time, Sophie was transplanted from her home two different times, subjected to a multicat household, and...she adapted...very well, actually.
Not long after we moved into the new house, it was time for Nick's mom to take her annual leave of winter and head to Florida. We watched her cat, Krystal, while she was away. I was sad to see her go because the cats were in such harmony. Sophie acted differently after Krystal was gone. She became very clingy (almost suffocatingly so). She's never been a cat to suffer from separation anxiety in the past, but after a year living with multiple cats followed shortly by a 2-month play-date with another cat, I think being an only cat started to suck.
So, we're looking for another cat to rescue.
A lot of buildup for that one statement, eh? We've had Sophie eight years (she is eight-and-a-half years old) as of last month, so this has been a years' long thought process.
What are we getting ourselves into?

(This picture is from June, so don't be thinking we're negligent parents for letting our ward walk around without a proper coat in the steadily-falling, late-autumn temperatures!)
Sophie, Sophie, Sophie. You all know by now that she has Nick and me completely whipped, and we all but worship her. (Okay.
She lived with her grandma Joan, Nick's mom, for a few months (enough time for her to put Joan under her spell too, I think), because we were worried how she would be with other cats in residence—our subterranean loft living arrangement came with three cats already included. I was trying to be unselfish with the situation; I wanted the best for Sophie even though I missed her like crazy. Upon returning home from a week of travel (for work) in 2013, Nick surprised me by reuniting our little family. Sophie was back with us, and I don't think she stopped purring for more than a couple minutes that first night.
Best of all, she has adapted well to life with other cats. She is actually quite chummy with a couple of them, leading Nick to continually paraphrase Shawshank Redemption: "...thick as thieves, them two are!" Now it presents a new problem for us since language continues to be a barrier, meaning that Sophie cannot tell us herself: should we get her a companion when we move? Will she now be lonely only having dopey humans (who leave her alone all day long) available for socializing?
We've been waffling for months. I know people who bring home new cats and it disrupts the peace in the household with the existing animal(s). Lord knows we melt and make mewling sounds when we see kittens, but we need to make sure that if we adopt another cat that it is for Sophie, not us. She's our baby, after all!
Meanwhile, I've got rescued Maine Coons on my radar...my love for the "gentle giants" of the cat world has only grown since knowing and loving our Sophie. Stay tuned for the developing story, I suppose...I'm pretty sure I can make out the writing on the wall though.

The one about moving
It's been a few years since my last big move. When I moved in with Nick, it was so gradual that I barely noticed that it happened…and the process was accelerated when I became ill and could no longer drive back and forth between abodes. (Nick wanted to take on the task of changing my dressings so that he could still see me every day...he took excellent care of me.)
When we received an offer on our condo that was very close to our minimum acceptable amount, it came with the requirement to be out by the end of the month—pretty stressful when a third of the month was already gone. That, and we both carry a lot of work stress…we rely on a worry-free home to keep us sane.
So anyway, I'm left comparing the two moves even though one was a relocation of 1,200 miles and the other of 10. For what I've saved in distance, I've made up for in the accumulation of stuff. In the last seven years, I've discovered my preferred decorating style and purchased accordingly. It's a lesson though to be careful on what you wish for: I looked at our storage shelves in the basement several months ago and thought, "Man! I need to move! I've got too much stuff!" You see, I moved several times in my 20s…which forced me to live with minimal possessions for reasons of moving-laziness.
We sold our condo both slower than I hoped and faster than I expected. It was so quick that I stopped looking at houses after the one we fell in love with sold. (Why get your heart set on something you probably won't be able to have?) Now we are (or will be soon) homeless. We will be staying with family while we figure out next steps and save for a bigger downpayment. Sophie may or not move with us, I'm not sure. She's been staying with Grandma the last month or so for many reasons related to the craziness of showings and stacks of boxes EVERYWHERE.
There are other cats living where we will be staying. Sophie has been an only cat most of her life—and she's female. The two together scream TERRITORIAL! even though I don't know that for sure. Our cat has issues with anxiety, so we work pretty diligently to keep her all "calm blue ocean" every day (or she actually becomes ill). We visited her tonight at Grandma's house, and she seems to be adjusting well there. I miss my Sophie in day-to-day life, but I question the direction that's best for her instead of me.
SO, I'm really sore and achy, I'm tired, I'm nervous, and I'm ready to be done with boxes for a very long time.

Walking, Love, Ultram, and HGTV
Yep, you guessed it: another melting pot of a post.
In Training
Did you know that June 1 is just over 15 weeks away? No? Well, why would you—unless you have a walking marathon to complete that day like I do. I fell into LDW (long-distance walking) last year. This was after I decided to think with my head instead of my heart when it came to high-impact exercise and the structural issues with my spine. The doctors had been suggesting it for years, but I was too proud to admit my body wasn't the well-oiled machine that it used to be. And in true human fashion, I focused on what I couldn't do instead of what I could. That all changed when I discovered long distance walking.
Anyway, Nick and I completed the Walk Wisconsin half-marathon last year. We made it into a local newspaper when we kissed at the finish line on stage:
We made a pact to complete the full marathon this year, and our [self led] 16 week training program commenced on Monday. We can use the walking track at the rec center until the weather is a little nicer (16 laps to a mile), but we need to find an outdoor venue this weekend to complete the scheduled 10-mile walk because I'm pretty sure that I'll go insane during one of those 160 laps.
Valentine's Day
I suck at romance—seriously do. Nick is the romantic one of our pair. I admitted my failings yesterday as I sat in the salon with foils in my hair. When I approached the chair with my request for highlights (since my hair keeps going back to blonde anyway, might as well go with it), Jean (my hairdresser of the last eight years) looked upset. "You can't do that! Not yet! It's still fun season with your hair!" she cried. I couldn't tell if she was joking, so I just stared. "Do you trust me?" she asked at last. Since I do, she waved her magic wand and gave me pretty, copper-kissed lowlights instead. I'm getting the feeling that my brunette stylist is bored by my blonde.
Anyway, I told her of my unromantic tendencies and she started going on about ideas from Facebook and Pinterest and blah, blah, blah. Finally, she got to the point and suggested a trick with hard-boiled eggs to make them look like hearts. "You could give that to Nick!"
I couldn't stop the snort. Happy Valentine's Day, honey! Here's an egg to show you how much I care! "Or you could just go home and be yourself, I guess. He's probably used to you by now anyway," she finished sarcastically when I finished laughing.
New Coffee Mug
I take a lot of pills. I don't like it, but…
I take Ultram four times daily for chronic pain. This doesn't have a huge effect on me, but it definitely takes the edge off and allows me to function fairly normally. Since all this fell into my lap in August 2006, I am a little afraid of anything that totally takes the pain away because that's such a nice, addicting feeling. I have heavier narcotics and muscle relaxers in my arsenal for when the hurt is way out of my pain tolerance (I refer to them as my "escalation drugs"). The point is that doctors have stopped trying to find a fix, so they try to make me as comfortable as I can be (i.e. medication). I'm hoping to see a doctor in a couple months who will give me another option, but it is what it is for now.
Anyway, I try to make light of it as much as I can. As such, I couldn't resist purchasing this coffee cup when I saw it:
I like laughing, and this makes me laugh: I actually take chill pills—DAILY!
Since all this moving madness started, Nick and I, for the first time ever I think, started watching Home and Garden Television. Apparently we've had the channel all along! Anyway, HGTV has approximately a bajillion shows on real estate…it's a new obsession for us. Property Brothers in particular is very nice to watch.
Bonus Dose of Cuteness
Sophie doesn't know how to be anything but adorable. It stinks when you really want to be angry with her.

The weekly check-in
One post-per-week seems to be all that I am capable of producing lately, so I'm going to steal it for myself instead of dedicating it to Sophie even though it's Sunday and all—call me a bad cat-mom, I know I deserve it. I've actually been trying to think of ways to keep this site updated regardless of the time (or lack-thereof) I have available to write. Maybe a weekly summary is the way until life calms down a bit.
So, last week was crazy.
The Condo
I think those are my two main topics. As for the rest…
There you go: my week in a single exhalation.

Sophie Sunday
So, Nick and I are in the process of selling our condo to buy a house (thus why I haven't been posting much lately and probably won't for awhile…BUSY!). I am worried that the condo will be on the market for a long time—mainly because I'm already exhausted from following after Nick and Sophie to keep everything just so (and the listing hasn't even been published yet).
Apparently, neither of them are sensitive to even the smallest of messes (like I am). I realize it's an illness, I do, and I tamp it down most of the time. The game is different now: other people will be coming in to scrutinize everything. I've handed over the reins to the perfectionist for the time being.
Nick, noting my toil, said jokingly, "Maybe Sophie and I should live with my mom until the condo sells?"
I rolled my eyes, "Nobody would buy the reason for that—your mom would wonder if we're having relationship issues."
(Nick) "Like she'd believe that you would let me keep the cat."

I work from home on those rare occasions when I do not have meetings. I assume I will have less distraction working from home, but I have this gray fluffy thing to contend with.
I worked from home last Friday…and to mitigate the risk of Sophie-Jo (what I call her when the impish side of her personality shines through), Nick folded a chenille blanket over the old (read: well-loved) recliner in our living room.
WORKED LIKE MAGIC…bless the ADD that afflicts all of cat-kind.

Nick's mom took care of Sophie while we were in Chicago. I stupidly left out tubes of tuna-flavored hairball remedy paste on the kitchen counter with a note explaining that Sophie has been getting sick lately (hairball season). I was trying to make the task convenient for Joan and in the process forgot that I have a non-discerning glutton for a cat.
We returned to a note explaining that the tubes were in the refrigerator and to "…guess why." I opened the door and saw the tubes riddled with indentations and holes from Sophie's teeth. I growled and muttered to myself while I covered the damage with tape.
Nick tuned out my tantrum…Sophie wrapped herself around my ankles and begged for food. Vacation was definitely over: life had returned back to normal in one fell swoop.

[...] As someone with absolutely no connection to anyone at Codeweavers, I think Codeweavers' actions over the past two years or so more than sufficiently establishes the fact that they deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt in regards to statements like these. You can agree or disagree with their position as you wish, but I think such extreme skepticism is unwarranted and ungrateful. -- James Juran jamesjuran at alumni.psu.edu

Before you decide to implement VoIP services you need to uncover the box and perform a lot of security optimization tasks in your main business data server. Voice over IP is not a completely radical idea. It was there in the past, remaining unnoticed as it was applied in toll-bypass or at ATM counters. VoIP offers you a cheaper communication opportunity than other than the existing systems. Let's talk about some of the well-known issues and see how to tighten the security loopholes for an unmatched and highly secured communication experience using your VoIP service.
Call encryption is necessary
When using VoIP, you are automatically falling in the pool of security threats of the internet. If you are making a call through VoIP to a conventional number you are facing both types of security vulnerabilities. One possible solution to this problem is call encryption, since you cannot stop the hackers who intercept your call. A VoIP call follows a complicated path through multiple routers, servers and network carriers. Therefore, call encryption is the only way out. The most robust call encryption method is 256 bit AES encryption. This encryption technology is available with a few major VoIP service providers such as Skype.
Secure your computer
No matter how secure your VoIP service provider is, you are letting the hackers do their tricks if you have an unprotected PC. When you make calls using an unprotected or infected PC, hackers can track down what you are doing. They will simply retrieve voice data right from your PC. Call encryption and other security settings will not work unless you have a stronghold in your own PC. To solve this issue, you need to install good security software in your PC and keep it up to date. Avoid clicking on suspicious links and do not ever open unsolicited email attachments. If you pay attention to these issues, you can easily keep the keep interceptors at bay. Nowadays, separate VoIP phones are also available. These devices minimizes the risks involved in using a PC.
Network monitoring and firewall
Hackers and call interceptors can get access to your system through open and unmonitored network ports. You must close all the doors that are not in use by using a strong firewall application. A firewall is something that filters the packet data sent and received via all the available ports. You can also install a hardware firewall with your routers. This way, you can filter out the security threats in the preliminary stage. There are also various network monitoring applications are available. In a large sized company, a network monitoring application is pretty useful as it tracks all network activity and gives you a detailed graphical report. When VoIP applications are in use, a network monitoring software can alert you for any abnormal network activity that could be a possible intercept threat.
Multi-level security authentication
You must set up a multi-level security authentication system for accessing VoIP service. This way, you can prevent eavesdropping. First, you must have password authentication in your system for logging into your account. Then, you must set up a different password or pin authentication for accessing VoIP service. It is best if your VoIP service provider offers you email and mobile notifications when you log in and log out every time you use the service. This way, you will know who is logging into your account and when.

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
by Ethan Day
Released: July 24, 2013
Series: Standalone
Published by Wilde City Press
Pages: 261
Format: eBook
AT PIPER'S POINT has all that you want in a great book – humor, sexiness and a healthy handful of angst. ~ Under the Covers
This is my first book by Ethan Day and I can see why its been so highly recommended. AT PIPER'S POINT has all that you want in a great book – humor, sexiness and a healthy handful of angst.
Cassidy Winters returns to his grandmother's sacred home after she passes away. As Cassidy deals with grief, healing and his father, you can already tell that there is a lot going on in this book. Despite the sombre tone, there is also a lot to celebrate about. Cassidy meets Neil, a sexy visior that becomes a welcome distraction. From there, other side characters are introduced and soon, it becomes a small family of sorts as Day gives readers insights into their personalities as well.
More is added when Nate Sommers, Cassidy's childhood friend and first love enters the picture, creating much more than Cassidy can deal with. He is a mess, but at the same time, it's nice and refreshing to see someone who is broken, but still had some spirit. The humor is what made this book for me. It creates the perfect balance of dark and light in a story. Because of the heavy emotions that are involved in this story, Cassidy's bright personality really makes him an endearing character.
While all that is nice, I did think that this book rambled on in some places about things that were mentioned already. Other times, I don't think the author was clear enough in his descriptions and/or coverage of events. I had to go back and reread just to make sure I got things straight in my head before continuing on. I wonder if that's just Day's writing style, but since this is my first book by him, I can't really say if it's the author's personal style or just a lack of editing.
All in all, AT PIPER'S POINT is an emotionally poignant book about healing and love. I'm looking forward to reading more of Ethan Day's books.

Did you like this review? If so, please tell us your thoughts in the comments!
When it comes to books I'm pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it's got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I'll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I'm not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let's talk books!

Love is in the Air! Easy Valentines Day Decoration1.27.2014
Come on sing it with me. Love is in the air.... If you haven't figured out, I love the holidays and I'm a little bit of a dork.
I have been purging my home for some time now so I wasn't surprised when I opened my Valentines Day decorations box and found it lacking in contents. But I was not upset. Oh no, this was an excuse to make some easy Valentines Day crafts. And remember, I'm addicted to crafting? Another thing you should know about me is I have a craft stash which feeds my craft addiction. Yes, I have beads, felt, stickers, and markers coming out the wa-zoo. So I thought about my resources and here's what I came up with.
1. Potted Roses
All you have to do is take a small pot or container and roses and arrange them so they fill up the container. I had previously purchased the roses at the dollar store and had the small pot on hand.
2. Paper Straw Cupids Arrows
You know those trendy paper straws floating all over the place? I used those to make these easy vase fillers. I took some wooden hearts I happened to have and hot glued them to the straws. Then I cut the feathers and glued two to the bottom. How fun would it be to make the hearts different colors such as gold or even add some glitter? I have them in a jar with it labeled cupids arrows. Here's where you can download the label I made.
Don't have these items? The feathers you can buy at your local Walmart or craft store. The wooden hearts you can find at most craft stores as well. And I did a little homework and here's where you can order the paper straws.
3. ME + YOU Printable
A super easy way to decorate is with printables. The one pictured is from our friends over at Caravan Shoppe. You can get it here. The frame is from the dollar store though it would be fun to look at a thrift shop for a more vintage frame. Maybe I'll take a look later this week.
I also wanted to share the free printable below. I made it up
really fast in honor of this post. My Valentines Day gift to you all!
really fast in honor of this post. My Valentines Day gift to you all!
Pretty simple right?
How's your week looking? Busy or relaxed? I have all these little things to get done this week so I've got my game face on. I'm going to own this week. I hope you all do too!

Asiatic Islamic Indonesian Military Butchering a Black Man in West Papua
In 2016, Afrikan people in West Papua (an island in the South Pacific attached to Papua New Guinea) are being systematically exterminated by the Indonesian military. The Indonesian government is exploiting the island for its wealth. West Papua has the largest gold mines in the world, in addition to natural gas and plenty of other desired natural resources. In order to gain unrestricted access to these resources, the Islamic military of Indonesia is committing systematic genocide of our people. If Afrikans around the world do not step in and prevent this genocide, our West Papuan Brothers and Sisters will be exterminated in less than (30) years.
Our Brothers and Sisters on this island are proud, productive Afrikan people who are willing to fight for their freedom and independence. However, in order to do so successfully, they need assistance from Afrikans worldwide. Their homemade military instruments are no match for the automatic weaponry utilized by the Indonesian military. Our Brothers and Sisters are being humiliated, raped, beaten, tortured, butchered, and murdered on a daily basis. They are resisting the best they can; however, they desperately need assistance from the global Afrikan family in order to run the Indonesian military off of this island. Pictures of a few of the atrocities are shown below:
We know that these pictures are graphic; however, we believe it's important to show our people worldwide what is happening to our Brothers and Sisters in West Papua. They are fighting one of the most violent groups of Islamic Muslim Extremists/Terrorist Groups in the world. And if these blatant acts of barbarism don't represent Islamic Extremism at its worse, we don't know what does.
In order to understand the situation in West Papua a little better, we will share a brief history lesson on the region written by Juliet Lopez London of the #FreeWestPapua group, Eva Jones, and Ama X:
The current reality in West Papua is a very sad and depressing truth. It is an all too familiar tale of the war on, and against Black people and Black communities across the globe. One of the world's most intense Racial wars is being waged against Melanesian Afrikan descendants in the South Pacific – the indigenous people of West Papua. The open genocide of our people in West Papua, confirmed by human rights organizations, independent investigators, and Black scholars alike, has continuously been concealed from the public by those who seek to gain from the death, destruction, theft of resources, land grabs and some of the most heinous atrocities and acts of violence committed against Afrikans on the planet.
Peaceful Papuan protests are routinely interrupted by heavily armed Indonesian soldiers who break up and disburse demonstrators. The recent summit saw some 70 innocent Papuans unlawfully arrested, forced into military trucks and taken to prison. To date they are still behind bars and are likely to be tortured and killed like so many other West Papuan political prisoners.
Here are some of the companies and countries supporting the Asiatic Muslim Indonesian military genocide of our people in West Papua.
Here is a video of what is occurring every single day to the freedom fighters and independence seekers in West Papua at the hands of the Indonesian military.
The beautiful thing about this situation is that for the 1st time in modern world history, Afrikan people are in the position to prevent the complete extermination of one of our groups of Brothers and Sisters. Afrikans in America, England, and the Caribbean are in the position to use our power to spread the message against Racial genocide far and wide. The Afrikan nations ruled by strong Black leaders such as Gambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Nigeria, etc . . . . have the military power to organize their resources and remove the Indonesian government from West Papua by any means necessary to prevent the genocide of our people.
A globally organized effort by Black people to publicize, ostracize, and neutralize the Asiatic Indonesian extermination campaign in West Papua is well within our capacity to do in 2016. If we organize and combine our Black social media capacity, Black media capacity, Black political capacity, economic boycott capacity, and Black military capacity, Afrikan people globally can save our Brothers and Sisters in West Papua. It is clearly our responsibility and duty to prevent from happening to West Papuans what happened to America's Native Americans in the 1800's.
Actionable Items:
Honorable Benny Wenda & Juliet Lopez London
We trust that you have become informed and inspired to fight for our people in West Papua. At War on the Horizon (WOH), we are convinced that saving our West Papuan family is our 1st test to determine whether or not Afrikan people are going to survive the 21st Century. If we demonstrate that we can save this group of Afrikan people from annihilation, we will have taken our 1st step in moving towards a unified Afrikan Racial platform that can propel us into this century.
We'll See You on the Battlefield!

Jussie Smollett has just been cleared for allegedly filing a false police report, according to sources, and his record has been wiped clean.
Jussie's lawyers said:
"Today, all criminal charges against Jussie Smollett were dropped and his record has been wiped clean of the filing of this tragic complaint against him. Jussie was attacked by two people he was unable to identify on January 29th. He was a victim who was vilified and made to appear as a perpetrator as a result of false and inappropriate remarks made to the public, causing an inappropriate rush to judgment."
As for the reason why the charges were dropped, the State's Attorney Kim Foxx's office said:
"After reviewing all of the facts and circumstances of the case, including Mr. Smollett's volunteer service in the community and agreement to forfeit his bond to the City of Chicago, we believe this outcome is a just disposition and appropriate resolution to this case."
Jussie was facing 16 felony counts of lying to police in the alleged racial and homophobic attack.
