Nordstrom Anniversary Sale/
Happy Friday! I may be late to the Nordstrom anniversary sale but there are still some great deals to take advantage of before the prices go up on August 7th. Below are some of my favorites.
This Vince Camuto bootie is my go-to style for cropped jeans, dresses and skirts. I love the cut out detail and the sale price is right!
I have this F.P. dress in blue and I love it. It is so comfortable and flattering. The ivory is great for summer but would also look fabulous with the above booties and a leather or denim jacket for fall.
Natori makes really great fitting bras. This is the time to grab a couple of them because they rarely go on sale. I have this one and it fits great but most of all, it's comfortable.
It's no secret that I love my Spanx faux leather leggings and now you can get them on sale!!! All sizes are still in stock so grab them now. I wear a size small for reference.
I am obsessed with this poncho. Would be perfect for those chilly soccer games.
This dress is screaming my name. Would look great with booties or tall Frye boots in the fall. It's killing me to even discuss the cooler weather but the clothing is always SO GOOD come fall.
Switching gears...if you need some quality denim for your little man, Tucker + Tate makes the best I've found. My son loves these jeans and I always buy two or three pair when they're on sale.
I wish they made this jacket in my size. It screams, I just threw this on with black leggings and still look cool. My daughter will be sporting it for sure.
These candles smell amazing and look pretty on your counter. This is a great deal for three. You could even split them up and gift them.
Enjoy your weekend!

Since then, the Nigerian-Korean model has quickly ascended to global fame. He began garnering modest media attention after debuting on Korean brand Heich Es Heich's runway during the 2016 Fall-Winter Seoul Fashion Week. His striking visuals and smooth walk had caught fashion insiders' eyes.
In November, Time magazine named him one of the 30 most influential teens of 2017, and his celebrity status skyrocketed. He's been interviewed by international fashion magazines and modeled for Nike. Han has become a variety program regular on Korean television, entertaining viewers with his easygoing demeanor and schoolboy ingenuousness. He's fulfilling his wish to travel extensively, filming TV shows and photo shoots all over the globe.
Now in his first year of high school, Han sat down for a second interview with The Korea Herald on Feb. 7 at a cafe in Seoul's Dongdaemun shopping district, almost a year after our first encounter. He arrived after a long commercial shoot in Gangnam, clad in his school uniform and looking slightly tired but with the ease of someone who's been through the grind numerous times.

Han recalled our last interview as if reminiscing on a distant memory. "Wow," he said, shaking his head. "That's true, I had never been abroad then." During the past year, however, he has traveled to Europe twice for photo shoots, as well as to North America and Southeast Asia.
"Europe was so nice," he said, having visited big fashion cities like London and Paris and parts of Portugal. "It was exactly as I had imagined it. Every single building was beautiful."
From a model's point of view, London's fashion had been particularly impressive, he noted. Shops carried niche items that would not have been deemed popular in Korea. When it came to everyday attire, people seemed to march entirely to the beat of their own drums. He took in the street style, both punk and bespoke suits, which he witnessed on the streets of London, drawing inspiration and archiving the looks in his mind.
What struck the biracial model most when gallivanting abroad, however, was neither the different tastes in fashion nor the exotic architecture, but the sensation that he did not "stand out."
In Korea, the dark-skinned, bushy-haired, 191-centimeter-tall model makes heads turn. Whether out of curiosity or admiration, people tend to do a double take when they spot him, he says.
"But in Europe, they didn't look at me twice. They just passed by. There were people on the streets who resembled me. It was a kind of feeling I had never felt before in my life," Han said.
On television shows, Han has frequently told stories of both the subtle and outright discrimination he has experienced growing up here. Friends' parents would tell their children not to play with him. Insensitive kids would throw around racial slurs. Blatant stares and invasive questions filled his childhood. "There were times I wanted to hide in a hole," he says. Each time, however, his mother would tell him, "You're special."
Han says he regards the Time magazine selection more as a symbolic gesture than an acknowledgement of his current achievements. "I think they're hoping that more people who look like me or have grown up in backgrounds like mine can have the courage to do bigger things," he said.
Recently, Han says he's been able to feel the widening diversity in Korea. His social media accounts flood with messages from other biracial young people living in Korea who say he's given them confidence. "I think I've learned to enjoy people's looks and the spotlight," he says. Through Han, fans have come to the realization that being different can now be an advantage in Korean society.

In the near future, Han will focus on gaining more experience as a model, both on the runway and in commercial shoots. School is not a priority, he says candidly, with a laugh. "I've never been a studying kind of student."
His next project, premiering this month, is JTBC reality show "Stranger." Han, the eldest of five siblings, will star with his family and detail his everyday life. He had just finished shooting the first episode prior to the interview. The camera had followed him around at school, as well as at fashion shoots and at home, offering glimpses into the life of a biracial family in Korea. "I joke around with my younger siblings a lot, so that should be fun," said Han.
In the far future, the model dreams of launching his own clothing brand or perhaps living abroad for a few years. Whatever he pursues, however, Han hopes he can spread positivity through the stage he's been given.
"I just hope all people can be happy," he said.

Twitter-Based Customer Service: How Best Buy Gets It Right
September 2, 2010
Today, Twelpforce is more than 28,000 followers strong. Reviews are so positive, and its execution so impressive, that the agency responsible (Crispin Porter + Bogusky) received the Titanium Grand Prix at Cannes Lions this year.
Twelpforce's day-to-day operations demonstrate the know-how of Best Buy employees, and their customer-service expertise, right before tweeters' eyes!
Here's how Twelpforce gets it right:
- Its service is run by real employees—people to whom customers can relate.
- It operates 24/7, and no tech questions are off-limits.
- It's approachable, even for those who don't "get" Twitter. Twelpforce's user page explains how to pose questions. It also links to Best Buy's social-media policy.
- No waiting! Gone are the days of digging for phone numbers, navigating labyrinthine automated systems and waiting on hold to the tune of elevator music.
- Transparency. A Best Buy feed shows you what conversations are occuring in real time, giving a sense of how thorough respondents are and how long it takes to address questions.
- Dynamic FAQs. The aforementioned feed also lets you search for answers, provide feedback and ask questions directly. Basically, it's an FAQ that changes and is updated as fast as technology can move!
Finally, the Twelpforce team is trained to promote the best solutions, not just Best Buy's—making recommendations of Best Buy services more trustworthy (and more likely to be accepted when offered).

First sorry for the delay in posts. It has been a hectic couple of weeks. I found these books a couple of weeks ago and I'm really excited to post them. They are really really beautiful. They are once-a-year books from LAIKONIK. Each book has 18 pages for each year in the first 18 years of your child's life. My favorite part is the beautiful screen printing on the front of the book. I think these books would make the perfect unique baby shower gift. As always though….I want to buy one for myself.

Draper Esprit in €20m acquisition of Seedcamp Funds I and II
Dublin and London-listed venture capital investor Draper Esprit has announced the acquisition of Seedcamp Funds I and II for £17.9m (€20m).
As a result the company has acquired stakes in a number of high profile growing technology companies including Transferwise.
UK-based Transferwise, an international money transfer platform, will be added to the company's core portfolio.
Launched in 2011, Transferwise is one of Europe's most successful fintech start-ups having raised $117m in funding from a number of investors including Richard Branson.
The portfolio also includes what Draper Esprit described as a number of "promising companies" including Codacy, Edited, Erply, Fishbrain, Codility, and Winnow.
Following the deal, Draper Esprit will continue to invest further in the portfolio to help it develop and grow, working closely with both the team at Seedcamp and within the portfolio companies as they grow.
The Seedcamp management team will continue to work closely alongside the Draper Esprit team to manage the portfolio and to create further value for founders and investors in the funds.
"This acquisition further bolsters our growing secondary business, and we are excited to work with a really good portfolio of European technology companies including Transferwise," Simon Cook, CEO Draper Esprit, said.
The news comes following yesterday's announcement from Draper Esprit that its portfolio value had increased by a massive 44pc to £162.8m in the six months to 30 September.
Net assets at the company were £266.8m, up from £150.7m in March this year, as the company benefited from substantial growth in its net asset value.
Profit after tax was £20.9m, down from £26m in the same period last year, while the company raised additional capital of £100m during the six month period, according to the group's interim results released yesterday.

In this seminar I will present my transcription and translation of a 16th century Konkani manuscript about the birth of Rama. The text is a part of a version of Ramayana in Konkani, which was written down in Latin script and studied by Catholic missionaries in Goa in order to learn to use the literary style and develop an adequate religious terminology.

Buy low and sell high. It's a trading strategy that's been around as long as Wall Street. But more people are giving it a whirl and that spells good news for TD Ameritrade who said daily client trades rose 11 percent in July as total client assets grew.
In June the company posted a 29 percent jump in quarterly profit due to commissions from a growing number of trades — an average 298,000 per day during the quarter, 22 percent higher than in its fiscal third quarter a year earlier.

In January 2006 a new season of chamber concerts was introduced to the Assembly Room. The inaugural concert took place on Mozart's 250th birthday, 27th January 2006, and was given by the Royal String Quartet before a capacity audience in the Assembly Room. The Royal Quartet, from Warsaw, had recently been selected as Quartet-in-Residence at the Wigmore Hall in London. Three more concerts followed featuring the Aurora Wind Ensemble, the Angell Piano Trio and the Artea String Quartet.
Following this success the new society, under its founder and chairman Michael Nott, adopted the name of Chichester Chamber Concerts and established an annual season running from October to March. Programmes have become more ambitious and some very fine artists have performed in the concerts including the Danish String Quartet, pianist Martin Helmchen, the Sitkovetsky Piano Trio and the Brodsky Quartet.
In 2009 Chichester Chamber Concerts acquired a president and new chairman after the sad and unexpected death of Michael Nott. The president, Michael Follis, was chairman of South West Sussex Arts Group (SWAG), deputy chairman of The Culture and Sports Alliance, and director of the Petworth Festival from 2000-2007.
Anna Hill had been chair and artistic director of HHH Concerts in Haslemere for over 20 years and a CCC committee member since its foundation. She worked closely with Michael Nott on the selection of artists and programmes, and now, with the support of the CCC committee, aims to continue to plan concert seasons with the same standards of excellence and variety of programmes.
A recent innovation has been a family concert. The Camarilla Wind Ensemble (supported by the Cavatina Chamber Music Trust) gave a short concert for young children and their parents in June 2018 as part of the Festival of Chichester. This was a great success and it is hoped to plan more family concerts in the future.

What: Sonia Kashuk Face Cream
Why: You've heard it since you were a teenager: make sure to use protection — sun protection, that is. You know that you're supposed to wear moisturizer with sunscreen all year round, but it's especially important in the warmer months when you're spending more time al fresco. You don't have to slather thick coconut-scented sunscreen on your face, though. Sonia Kashuk's face cream is velvety and luxurious, and it contains that oh-so-essential ingredient: SPF 15. Now go out and practice safe sun.

Muesli Scones
I forgot how much that I love scones until I made these. I love scones because they are not overly sweet, and they are basically like biscuits. Who doesn't love biscuits? I've gotten to the point where I don't believe in food restrictions, so eating baked goods is the usual for me. But what I do believe in, is making healthier versions of the baked goods that I do love. I incorporated some prebiotic muesli by Freedom Foods into these scones, and it gave them a nice flavor and texture. Prebiotics are essential to good gut health. Prebiotics basically give probiotics a place to live in our guts.
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup muesli
1 stick of butter (cold)
1 egg
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup nut milk
1 tsp vanilla
Coconut Cream Cheese Glaze
1/4 cup coconut butter
1/4 cup cream cheese bar (room temperature)
1 tbsp raw honey
1. Preheat your oven to 400 F. Place your stick of butter in the freezer. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and muesli in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl: Mix together the egg, maple syrup, greek yogurt, milk and vanilla until the ingredients are combined.
3. Remove your stick of butter from the freezer and dice it into cubes or grate it (yes, like cheese) into the flour mixture. The key is to get it incorporated really well into the flour.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, and mix with a spatula (or your hands) until a dough is formed. DO NOT OVER MIX.
5. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle (about 7 in"). Then cut the dough into triangles.
6. Place the scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 2" apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
7. For the glaze: mix all of the ingredients together. Wait until the scones are cooled to add the glaze.

The Integrity of Protein Supplements: An Interview with Eddie Stone from Touchstone Essentials
Jennifer Schmid
You don't have to know anything about nutrition to know that there are hundreds of thousands of nutritional supplement products on the market. And of course, Americans are creative geniuses when it comes to labeling, advertising and marketing, so it's difficult to make heads or tails of what's actually good for you and what might potentially harm you.
Luckily, some companies have both high-quality ingredients AND heaping doses of business integrity.
A while back I had the pleasure of sitting down and interviewing Eddie Stone, CEO of Touchstone Essentials, to discuss their newest product called Organic Super Protein.Read More

Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of a Bangladeshi construction worker on the island of Fonadhoo in Laamu atoll.
After signs of injury were found on the body, the police began investigating the death as a murder.
Three expatriates were arrested on Friday on suspicion of committing the murder, the police said, declining to disclose further details.
A court has since remanded the suspects to police custody for 15 days.
According to local media, the Bangladeshi man had been living in Fonadhoo for some time as a construction worker. Islanders suspect that his body washed ashore after he was killed and thrown into the sea.
The body was found near the stage area of the Baraasil ward of Fonadhoo and the police cordoned off the area.
In June 2015, a Bangladeshi undocumented worker was discovered dead with severe head injuries at an uninhabited house on the island of Gan in Laamu atoll, which is connected by a causeway to Fonadhoo.
A month later, a Maldivian man was charged with murder.

Flipping the 'Flappy Bird'
Three! Three is my best score in "Flappy Bird."
The game currently is one of the most downloaded apps for mobile devices.
The game is simple, or so it seems. You tap the screen under the bird to help it fly through various Mario Bros.-esque pipes.
If only it was as easy as it sounds. The bird, at least when I'm in control of his flight pattern, has a tendency to nosedive right into the side of the pipes.
The game, developed by a Vietnam-based company and released in May 2013, isn't exactly stunning when it comes to its graphics. But the frustration of the difficult-to-master game is what has made it so popular.
The game has more than 543,000 reviews in the Apple store and another 228,000 from Android users.
Let us know if you in the comment section below have any tips to keep our Flappy Bird from pummeling to his death. I need to know what happens after you get past the third pipe.

KBC Ireland chief says mortgage lending levels unclear
Mortgage lending in the second half of this year may come in below expectations, hit by Central Bank restrictions and the lack of supply, according to the head of Belgian-owned KBC Bank Ireland.
Yesterday, the bank reported a third-quarter profit of €25m after tax and impairment costs. That reversed a €14m loss made in the same period in 2014 and puts KBC on course to return to a full year profit in 2016.
The return to profit is within its targeted timeframe. KBC Group in Brussels has said it will look at possible options for the Irish unit once it is back profit in 2016. Options could include retaining a stand-alone Irish bank, a sale, or partnership.
KBC Ireland chief executive Wim Verbraeken said he could not say whether any of those options is being actively looked at ahead of the scheduled review.
Its latest results show KBC has grown its retail business here, adding 59,000 new customer accounts in the first nine months of 2015. The bank, which also offers insurance and wealth management, sees its current account as the primary driver of new customer acquisition.
Deposits of €5bn at the end of the period, are up €200m in three months. KBC also said a it had a 20pc reduction in the number of mortgage arrears cases in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Loan impairment costs of €9m for the third quarter of the year, compared to €47m for the same period in 2014.
In the closely watched mortgage space, KBC Ireland said the business was responsible for 14.2pc of new lending in the year to date - up from 12.3pc.
While market share is up, Mr Verbraeken said the overall mortgage segment remains challenging due to a lack of housing supply and new Central Bank rules. "There is no doubt the macro-puduential criteria introduced abruptly this year have created a different dynamic. The second half of the year is traditionally strong for mortgages, especially so last year. We now have to see if that is true for 2015."
The rules cap home loans at 80pc of a property's value and three and a half times borrower income. In recent weeks some customers complained that KBC had withdrawn previously approved mortgages made outside the lending caps, but the bank said all offers will be honoured.
The minority of mortgages KBC can offer outside the limits are being made at no additional cost to borrowers, and without any geographic restrictions, he said.

The way in which not to do it is to attempt to confine technology in education to a pc or a laptop computer meant just for phrase or information processing. Banking training (for apparent reasons) attempts, by mythicizing reality, to hide certain information which clarify the best way human beings exist in the world; problem-posing education sets itself the duty of demythologizing.

Insurance for Surgery 101
NEW Resource: INSURANCE LITERACY WORKSHEET
Know that every transgender procedure- from bottom surgery to facial feminization surgery- has been covered by private plans and medicaid plans in some contexts. This guide will help you take the first steps to finding out what your plan covers.
How do I know if my plan covers surgery?
One person's "United Healthcare" plan is not the same as another person's "United Healthcare" plan. One might cover trans surgery and one might not. The name of the insurer does not tell you anything about coverage.
The specific rules about what must be covered (and the way to fight an insurance company that is not following those rules) changes depending on the mix of state and national regulations that apply to that plan. Three people who all live in the same state could have three different "Blue Cross Blue Shield" plans that are governed by different rules.
Public insurance: medicaid or managed medicaid plans administered by different insurers (ie BCBS Managed Medicaid)
Fully funded private plan: plans the must follow local state regulation
Self-funded private plan: a category of plans that do not follow state regulation
The Affordable Care Act adds protections on a national level, to all plans. The ACA states insurers should not deny a claim just because of the gender marker listed on your insurance. This is especially useful for appealing denials of claims for trans people who need care related to their reproductive systems (gynecology, urology, reproductive health).
Familiarize yourself with the costs associated with any covered procedure through your insurance. Do you have a deductible to pay before the plan starts to pay? A co-insurance after that? What's your out-of-pocket maximum? Do you have out-of-network benefits, and do those numbers change (and/or reset) for out-of-network providers?
Ok, so it's complicated. Then where do I start?
If you are uninsured, check out ou2enroll to learn what trans inclusive insurance might be available to you.
If you are currently insured, use your insurances online portal or call and ask to be sent a paper copy of your plans "Certificate of Coverage."
This document overrides what any representative tells you on the phone.
This document could lay out very explicitly which trans surgeries are covered and what is needed in order for your claim to be approved.
This document might violate state or other regulation in the way that it denies coverage. In that case, you very likely need legal assistance to continue
This is too confusing. I hit a snag. I need help.
There is no need to do this alone. Ideally, a surgeon's office is helping you navigate your insurance coverage and the appeals process. They submit a prior authorization containing details about what surgery is being performed, along with supporting documentation like letters of support from mental health providers. The insurance company approves or denies the claim, and from there you can begin to appeal a denial. I tell everyone to plan for an initial denial. Please see the resource guide for organizations that could offer more specific legal help with the appeals process. It's also a good idea to contact local LGBT centers and organizations to see if anyone local to you is working to help people in your area.

In 2016 kick-off speech, Rand Paul vows to take country back
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Kicking off his presidential campaign, Sen. Rand Paul is telling supporters that "we've come to take our country back."
The Kentucky senator on Tuesday formally declared his White House campaign. A tea party favorite and frequent contrarian against his party's establishment, Paul is promising to continue his approach to politics.
During his speech, Paul pledged to scrap "the Washington machine that gobbles up our freedoms."
Paul becomes just the second major candidate to declare a presidential bid, but he could face as many as 20 rivals for the GOP nomination. Each is trying to win the right to go head-to-head with Democratic front-runner, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Earlier than usual the closing months of the present year have brought with them the annual influx of tourists, invalids and seekers-after new homes; and though with us, to whom the advent of each season is marked by none of those decided changes, which herald its approach in all less favored climes, the tale of our gradual growth and commercial development has become more than familiar for its many repetitions, still in view of the fact that to the stranger, that is within our gates, the wonders of our "New Italy" are but as the stories of childhood's "Faerie Land," we feel assured of pardon for a continued reiteration of this oft-told theme.
Less than a decade of years ago the Santa Ana valley from its Western limit on the San Gabriel river to where its Eastern edges merge into the rolling hills dividing it from the Mission lands of San Juan Capistrano, and from the mountains to the sea, was but an immense plain, covered a few months in every year with a verdure, variegated by wild flowers of every hue, but generally dark and sombre aspect, and affording no indication, except to the closest observer, of the vast agricultural wealth which lay undeveloped in its bosom. And we know of no better method to illustrate the marvelous changes, produced through the toil of unaided labor, than a brief recapitulation of the settlements, which now dot its broad expanse in every direction. First and most matured of all from its priority of birth, is the town of Anaheim, originally a settlement of German colonists, whose design was to create homes for themselves and families, and whose first ambition soared no higher than to achieve an humble competence, wherewith to mollify the asperities of increasing age. How these views were subsequently enlarged, incited thereto by the ample rewards which followed close upon the heels of economy, thrift and perseverance, which was characteristic of each individual member of the settlement, it is needless here to relate. It is sufficient for our purpose to point to the present town of Anaheim, now embracing within its limits over two square miles of territory, already second to no other municipality in Southern California in its agricultural importance, and advancing with giant stride to a deserved pre-eminence as the centre of the wine-district of the Pacific Coast; and all this has been done, it be borne in mind, without the aid of one dollar of outside capital.
Radiating from Anaheim as a centre we find the agricultural settlements of Fairview, Orangethorpe and Cajon, comprising within their limits forty thousand acres of first-class farming lands, one-half of which is now settled upon and in actual cultivation. These lands are all watered from the Santa Ana river, the ditches of the Anaheim Water Company and the North Anaheim Canal Company furnishing the means. Beside the small grain crops, upon which the farmers at present rely to supply their yearly needs, attention is being given to the cultivation of semi-tropical fruit and foreign varieties of vines of every description, and each additional year passes away with an increased area devoted to the propagation of these important adjuncts to the wealth-production of the valley. Outside of these settlements and to the west and south lie the districts of Sycamore Grove, Los Coyotes and Westminster, in no respect dissimilar from the ones already mentioned, except that irrigation is afforded by means of artesian wells. To Westminster must be attributed the credit of first solving the problem of the possibility of obtaining flowing wells in this section; a solution which has proved incalculable in its accruing advantages.
On the east side of the Santa Ana river are the settlements of Orange, Tustin City and Santa Ana, watered by means of the canal of the Semi-Tropic Water Company from the Santa Ana river. Orange, as its name denotes, is a settlement almost exclusively devoted to the cultivation of semi-tropical trees, and, although one of the latest locations in the valley, bids fair at an early date to compare most favorably with any of its rival sisters. Within the limits of the Santa Ana settlement are contained the moist tule lands of "Gospel Swamp," noted far and wide for its incredible yield of corn, pumpkins, and "sich like." Here one hundred bushels of corn to the acres is considered as an ordinary average, and grown too without irrigation, the moisture in the soil proving sufficient to bring the most beautiful returns to the labor of the agriculturalist without artificial assistance.
It is beyond the compass of a newspaper article, however, to more than mention each particular settlement, and to allude in general terms to the fact that all excel in climate, soil and general susceptibility to easy and profitable cultivation. Added to this, the extreme cheapness of the most valuable agricultural lands in the whole of California, and the accommodating terms, offered to the purchaser, render this garden spot accessible to the means of the poorest income; whilst the experience of those, who may be classed among the pioneers of the valley, teaches that in no other section of the broad United States can fortunes be so easily and readily acquired with so slight a sacrifice of health and comfort.

Apprenticeship Program
Providing jobs and supporting local economies while meeting the business needs of the organization
Developing a Local Workforce
An underlying principle for the development and execution of Resolution Copper is to grow local employment and procurement opportunities. We are committed to prioritizing surrounding communities in hiring employees and contractors, in addition to selecting vendors and suppliers from the Copper Triangle whenever possible.
Resolution Copper has identified specific workforce needs to manage ongoing maintenance activities for the No. 9 Shaft. We aim to fill these roles with local talent through the development of our Apprenticeship Program, which will identify and train the needed workforce for the No.9 Shaft. This will serve as a pilot program that can be expanded in the future as Resolution Copper identifies specific skills needed for the Project.
In the initial pilot program, Resolution Copper offered apprenticeship positions for four underground mechanics, six underground electricians, and one underground welder. Those selected to participate in this pilot program received free tuition, books, protective equipment, exam costs, lab fees and practical application training under a Resolution Copper Journeyman mentor to learn a skilled vocation and begin a career with Resolution Copper.
- The ongoing roles to maintain No. 9 Shaft are technician level jobs at entry with a path towards Journeyman level. The academic portion of the training program is conducted at Central Arizona College at their Signal Peak campus and onsite at Resolution Copper.
- The Apprenticeship Program is made up of academic and practical training that will result in a recognized certification.
- Apprentices are full-time employees of Resolution Copper throughout the duration of the program. Training lasts three years and has a practical application component at Resolution Copper under the mentorship of Journeymen in the areas of specialization.
- The Apprenticeship Program is a pilot for the No. 9 Shaft workforce requirements. It may continue and grow as Resolution Copper ramps up in the future. Any new positions will be posted on our Careers page.

Awesome footage shows Storm Abigail lashing Ireland's coast
This awesome footage shows Storm Abigail doing her worst against Ireland's north coast yesterday.
While a status yellow wind warning was in full effect, storm-force winds lashed Cruit Island off Donegal.
Iain Miller from http://uniqueascent.ie/ took this footage and witnessed waves averaging five metres in height.
Western counties were hardest hit as Abigail hit counties Clare, Galway, Mayo, and Sligo in particular, with gales reaching 120kmh in some areas.
The rest of the country also felt nature's wrath as the strong winds swept in from across the Atlantic, bringing with them high tides and heavy downpours.
Tomorrow is expected to be wet and breezy, while scattered rain will affect many parts on Sunday.

My only three rules to adhere to per my intervention are:
1) Eat dinner every night. Including cereal. As long as it doesn't involve chocolate or coffee or sour patch kids.
2) Have fresh vegetables, milk, and bread in my house at all times. NOT EXPIRED, EITHER.
3) Grocery shop every weekend. Not just for the cookie-Monday ingredients.
I have succeeded in eating dinner every night. One night it was Cali Burrito. A couple of nights it was a bagel and some eggs or some other breakfast food. I had three nights of big salads. I did a good job.
I still have vegetables, milk, and bread. None of them are expired.
But I don't really want to go grocery shopping :( I don't really need to this week. I'm not sure what I would buy. I probably should have had a Super Bowl party, which would have forced me to make food.

Ten Different Ways to Experience the 2018 Agave Heritage Festival
If you think that tequila is the only way to indulge in agave, think again––this culturally significant desert plant is used to make a variety of spirits and food; processed to make clothing and art; and studied to learn about the history of Baja Arizona. This year, to celebrate the tenth annual Agave Heritage Festival, Hotel Congress is partnering with mixologists, award-winning chefs, bakers, farmers, anthropologists, community gardens, and artists to host 27 agave-inspired events that will inspire everyone to learn more about this versatile native plant. With almost 30 events geared toward people of all ages, interests, and backgrounds, the 2018 Agave Heritage Festival truly has something for everyone. Here are ten different ways to experience agave at this year's Agave Heritage Festival. Check out the Agave Heritage Festival website to learn about the other 17 events!
1. Hohokam Agave Tour (April 27, 8-11 a.m.) - $30
Strap on your boots and head out the field with Paul Fish and Suzanne Fish, Emeritus Professors of Anthropology and Curators of Archaeology at the Arizona State Museum, as they guide you through an ancient Hohokam agave field complex on the slopes of the Tortolita Mountains north of Tucson. Your guides, who have been studying agave cultivation in this region for over 40 years, will help you connect to the history of the land as they teach you about the significance of agave to the Hohokam.
2. Opening of the Agave Roasting Pit (April 28, 5-8 p.m.) - $15-45
Learn about the traditional preparation of agave as you celebrate the opening of the agave roasting pit at Mission Garden. Jesus Garcia, of the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, will fire up the earth oven to demonstrate the ancestral practice of agave roasting as Paul Fish and Suzanne Fish, Emeritus Professors of Anthropology and Curators of Archaeology at the Arizona State Museum, explain the plant's cultural significance. Then, learn how to cook agave at home with a demonstration by native foods cookbook author Carolyn Niethammer, all while tasting freshly roasted agave and participating in an agave spirit tasting led by EXO Roast Co.'s Doug Smith. It's sure to be a night of learning, tasting, and celebration.
3. Art Exhibit Diane Bombshelter (April 27, 6-8 p.m.) - Free
Local artist Diane Bombshelter is using the opening day of the Agave Heritage Festival as an opportunity to unveil her collection of agave-inspired paintings, all done on black velvet. Join the artist and your fellow community members to revel in this place-based artwork as you snack on appetizers made with southwest heritage ingredients. You might even add a new piece of artwork to your collection.
4. Agave Heritage Festival Documentary Screening (May 1, 5:30-9:30 p.m.) - Free
Head to The Loft Cinema for a fascinating night of documentaries and expert panels. Grab some popcorn and a local beer before sitting down to watch two documentaries, Agave is Life and Mesoamerican Diet with a pre-screening Agave and Wild Foods Exhibit, before listening to a panel discussion about "how the pre-colonial Mesoamerican Diet (maize, beans, squash, chile peppers, tomatoes, agaves) compares to the indigenous Sonoran Desert diet, and how it influenced the diet, food traditions, cultural history, and cuisine of the Sonoran Desert after it began to spread to this region some 4,000 years ago."
5. Agave Garden Planting (April 29, 8-11 a.m.) - $25
Dig in to the history of agave on Tumomoc Hill with Ben Wilder. This rewarding opportunity will give you the chance to help with the ceremonial planting of agave at one of the city's most culturally significant locations. And, because gardening is hard work, you'll be rewarded with snacks and refreshments.
6. Family Friendly Cinco De Mayo (May 5, 12-4 p.m.) - Free
This free event, hosted at Tohono Chul, is the perfect way to get the whole family excited about agave. Bring the kids and some sunscreen and get ready for a fun-filled day. Kids will have a great time in the kid zone, where they can join in on a game of agave rope tug of war, hands-on crafts, and whimsical face painting. Adults will be happy to indulge in authentic Mexican food pairings that incorporate wild foods from the Sonoran Desert, tequila tastings, agave roasting seminars, documentary screenings, art installations, a pop-up farmers market, and live traditional music of the southwest.
7. Bacanora: Spirit of the Sonoran Desert (April 30, 6-8 p.m.) - $20
Part educational, part delicious, this event is the perfect introduction to Bacanora––the borderlands' signature mezcal––and other agave distillates that are lesser know in the United States. Learn about the history, production, and sustainability of Sonoran mezcal and enjoy tastings along the way.
8. MEZCrawl (May 3, 7-10 p.m.) - $35
Remember that one beer crawl you did in college? This is way better. Dive headfirst into the world of mezcal as you taste specially crafted mezcal cocktails all night long. Start at Borderlands Brewing before making your way to El Charro, Exo Bar, Crooked Tooth Brewing Co., Tough Luck Club, Good Oak Bar, Downtown Kitchen & Cocktails, Elvira's, and Penca, and taste your way through downtown Tucson.
Eat + Drink
9. Pulque & Barrio Bread (May 2, 6-7 p.m.) - $40
If you've eaten the bread from Barrio Bread, you know that it goes with just about anything. Pulque, the milky viscous liquid made from the fermentation of sap from the agave plant, is no exception. Barrio Bread owner Don Guerra is teaming up with Sidecar to pair his crusty artisan bread––made with local heritage grains––with pulque cocktails for a duo that won't soon be forgotten.
10. Agave Heritage Dinner (May 4, 6-9 p.m.) - $95
What happens when talented farm-to-table chefs from the only two UNESCO Cities of Gastronomy in the United States come together to cook a meal? An incredible night of innovative collaboration, local ingredients, and very satisfied bellies. Elizabeth Johnson, founder of San Antonio's Pharm Table, is traveling from Texas to collaborate with Maynards Market & Kitchen Executive Chef Brian Smith and Cup Cafe Executive Chef Joe Decker for an unforgettable multi-course dinner. Agave has never tasted so good.
Always be in the loop on cool events like this one by becoming a Local Insider.

Executive Order
New travel restrictions go into effect (September 24, 2017)
On September 24, President Trump issued a Presidential Proclamation entitled, "Enhancing Vetting capabilities and Processes for Detecting Attempted Entry into the United States by Terrorists or Other Public-Safety Threats." This replaces the travel ban imposed by the Executive Order of March 6, 2017. The Proclamation designates 8 countries—Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen—for partial or full restrictions on entry to the United States. Iraq has been removed from the list of proscribed countries; however, Iraqi nationals seeking entry to the United States will be subject to additional scrutiny
The Proclamation went into effect partially on September 24 and will enter into full effect on October 18.
If you have a visa that you obtained on or before September 24, are a green card holder from one of the 8 countries, or are a dual national traveling on your other passport (for example, a dual Iranian Canadian citizen seeking to enter the U.S. on a Canadian passport), the Proclamation does not apply to you. In addition, NATO or UN-specific visas are not covered by the new ban.
Since the original Executive Order was issued in January, Tufts has worked with other universities to support legal challenges to the Executive Order; most recently, Tufts contributed to an amicus brief supporting the challenge to the Executive Order before the U.S. Supreme Court, scheduled for oral argument on October 10. However, since the new vetting procedures are aimed at replacing the earlier Executive Order, the U.S. Supreme Court cancelled the hearing and directed the parties to file briefs addressing whether or to what extent the new Proclamation renders the cases moot.
The "Frequently Asked Questions" section below provides summary of key provisions of the new travel ban and answers to questions members of the Tufts community might have. It is also downloadable here. The full text of the Proclamation can be found here. The White House has also published a shorter Fact Sheet about the Proclamation, as well as FAQ. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as we receive more information on how the Proclamation will be implemented.
Update at Tufts (September 19, 2017)
On September 18, Tufts joined 30 universities calling on the Supreme Court to strike down President Trump's Executive Order by filing a joint amicus brief. This reflects Tufts' commitment to students and faculty from around the world.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on the Executive Order on October 10.
Tufts Guidance on Travel (June 26, 2017)
Today, the Supreme Court granted certiorari for the travel ban cases and agreed to hear oral arguments this fall. In the meantime, the Court reinstated the administration's travel ban – at least, in part.
The reinstated travel ban only applies to foreign nationals from the six designated countries (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) who lack "any bona fide relationship with any person or entity in the US."
The reinstated ban does not apply to students who have been accepted to US universities or employees who work for US companies because these individuals have "bona fide" relationships with U.S. entities that exempt them from the ban.
For full text of the opinion, see here https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-1436_l6hc.pdf
Based on today's decision, current and incoming Tufts' students, faculty and staff should still be able to travel abroad and return to the United States. As always, however, we must note that individual travelers may experience heightened screening requirements and delays, as enforcement agencies and airlines come to grips with yet another version of the travel ban. Please be sure to carry documentation evidencing your connection to Tufts (I-20, DS-2019, Non-immigrant visa approval notices, letters of appointment). If you encounter difficulty returning to Tufts, please contact Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) at 617-627-6911.
Tufts remains deeply committed to our international community and recognizes that today's decision will impact many of our friends and colleagues who do not, as of yet, have a "bona fide" relationship with us. We will continue to watch these developments closely in the weeks and months ahead and encourage you to be in touch with the Tufts International Office with any questions.
Court stays latest Executive Order, halting travel ban (again)
Late on March 15, a federal judge in Hawaii issued a 43-page decision blocking the President's revised Executive Order nationwide. Accordingly, the travel ban scheduled to take effect today has been put on hold indefinitely pending further litigation. Individuals from the targeted countries should be permitted to travel abroad and re-enter the United States as long as the stay remains in place.
The Revised Executive Order
The revised Executive Order was issued March 6, 2017, replacing President Trump's earlier travel ban and removing Iraq from the list of targeted countries. It had been scheduled to go into effect today (March 16) and was designed to prevent nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen who do not have a valid visa obtained on or before January 27, 2017 from entering the United States until at least June 14, 2017. If you have a visa that you obtained on or before January 27, are a green card holder from one the 6 remaining countries, or are a dual national traveling on your other passport (for example, a dual Iranian Canadian citizen seeking to enter the U.S. on a Canadian passport), then the Executive order does not apply to you. In addition, Iraq has been removed from the list of proscribed countries, and people traveling on diplomatic, NATO or UN-specific visas are not covered.
Can Nationals from the 6 countries travel outside the United States now?
Yes; however, our advice cautiously remains: If you are from one of the six remaining countries on the travel ban list and can reasonably avoid discretionary travel outside the United States, we recommend that you continue to do so. If you need to travel, please reach out to your international office or to Diana Chigas, Senior International Officer and Associate Provost (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Travel Precautions: Spring Break Travel Plans
For members of our community from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen: The revised Executive Order issued on March 6, 2017 replaces the previous travel ban, removes Iraq from the list of targeted countries, and further narrows the scope of the ban to exclude permanent residents, dual citizens, and others. According to the Department of Homeland Security's "Q&A" about implementation of the Executive Order, if you are from one of the six countries, and have a valid visa (that will be valid when you plan to return to the U.S.), you can travel outside the U.S. However, given the uncertainty of the situation, and until we have more information on how/if the new ban will be implemented, the University's travel advice remains largely the same: If you are a non-immigrant visa holder from one of the six remaining countries on the list, we recommend that you continue to avoid discretionary travel outside the United States. We recognize that this may complicate your plans for Spring Break.
For all travelers going outside the United States, we are issuing the following recommendations:
- Visit the site of the Office of the Provost, the International Center or the Office of International Affairs at Tufts School of Medicine to keep informed of any changes in immigration regulations, travel recommendations and resources.
- Please ensure your passport is valid for reentry, that you hold the appropriate and valid visa in your passport, and that you carry with you all required immigration documents (e.g., Form DS-2019/I-20, valid passport, valid visa, etc.). Whether you are a student, scholar or employee of Tufts, it may be helpful to carry a letter from your Department noting that you are still a student, scholar or employee.
- Be prepared for heightened security measures/extra screening at the airport, so plan accordingly (e.g., delays, more intrusive searches).
- Consider whether you need to carry electronic devices, such as computers or cell phones. You should expect delays as well as more intrusive inspections. We have learned that personal electronic devices are now routinely being seized for inspection, so we would recommend that, if you are traveling, you should, if possible, seek alternatives to traveling with your devices. It may be best to travel with a "clean" laptop, if possible, and, if not, be mindful of any sensitive or confidential data that may be carried on or synced to your devices.
For Emergencies:
If you are detained by immigration officials and unable to re-enter the United States following your trip, please contact the Tufts University Police Department (TUPD) at 617-627-3030. They will connect you with one of us, so we can try to assist you in returning to Tufts. Please note that the TUPD number should be used for emergency situations only in which your detention prevents you from returning to the United States.
For Non-Emergencies:
For non-emergency situations, please contact Diana Chigas, Senior International Officer and Associate Provost (email@example.com) and Dana Fleming, Assistant General Counsel (email@example.com) with your questions and concerns. We would welcome information from students, faculty and staff who may be temporarily detained, who may have their Tufts' devices searched, or who experience other interactions they wish to share with us.
New Restrictions on Electronic Devices and Possible Difficulties Entering the United States
On March 21, 2017, Transportation Safety Authority (TSA) restricted airline passengers from bringing large electronic devices (laptops, tablets, e-readers, electronic games, portable printers, cameras, etc.) in carry-on luggage on flights from the following 10 airports:
Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) (Amman, Jordan)
Cairo International Airport (CAI) (Cairo, Egypt)
Ataturk International Airport (IST) (Istanbul, Turkey)
King Abdul-Aziz International Airport (JED) (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia)
King Khalid International Airport (RUH) (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)
Kuwait International Airport (KWI) (Farwaniya, Kuwait)
Mohammed V Airport (CMN) (Casablanca, Morocco)
Hamad International Airport (DOH) (Doha, Qatar)
Dubai International Airport (DXB) (Dubai)
Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) (Abu Dhabi)
All travelers coming to the United States from these airports should place large electronic devices in their checked luggage. Passengers can carry cellphones/smartphones on the plane.
For a fact sheet on the new security measures, see https://www.dhs.gov/news/2017/03/21/fact-sheet-aviation-security-enhancements-select-last-point-departure-airports.
The United Kingdom has adopted similar measures for flights from Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia.

The finest shirting fabrics 1701 carries are Thomas Mason fabrics. Thomas Mason is one of the most well known names when it comes to shirts, but is not necessarily explained as to why it's great. It almost seems like in fashion you can put someone's name in front of a product and that gives you rights to mark up 10 times.
But Thomas Mason is a different animal.Read More

We gather for worship on Sunday, the first day of the week, to mark and remember that we serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
There are various adult and children's classes that start at 9:30am. Greeters or other leaders will be glad to help direct you and your family to a class.
Our Worship service begins at 10:45 a.m. and typically lasts an hour and fifteen minutes. It includes congregational singing, prayers, Scripture readings, and teaching. We celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month. Our music consists of choir-led and piano-driven hymns, psalms and spiritual songs from many ages of the church. Children are welcome and encouraged to sit with their parents during the worship service. Nurseries are provided for children 3 and under.
Come as you are! Some may wear their "Sunday best," while others dress more casually. Wear what makes you comfortable.
We invite you to join us and be changed inwardly, by the Spirit, through the preaching and teaching of the Scriptures and through encouragement among the body of believers. We hope you can visit with us soon!

Range Time with This World War II Colt 1911A1 Proves How Awesome It Is
Shooting the World War II Colt 1911A1 pistol is like taking a trip through history and proves why Browning's design has stood the test of time.
Watch as the host of Cap and Ball does some shooting of a vintage World War II Colt 1911A1 pistol and gives a quick history of this storied firearm.
A great snapshot of the history of the 1911 with some demos that show the accuracy of this vintage World War II gun.
The 1911 is still a very popular pistol and it is one of my personal favorites. While you can find endless articles that compare and rate them against more modern gun designs, especially 9mm handguns, it remains one of the best selling firearms in the U.S.
I think the reason for this is that it is a great design that stands the test of time and it also links you back to our predecessors who relied on this gun through thick and thin. Sure there are a lot of more modern pistols that have higher mag capacities and may make more sense in different carry situations but the 1911 will remain strong for collectors, shooters, veterans and First Responders.
Consider adding it to your collection if you don't have a 1911 already With the recent resurgence of Colt, they have released a new line of these historic firearms with modern updates.

Corry Micronics offers a full range of isolators and circulators. A circulator is a ferrite device and usually has three ports. The signal path either circulates in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction. Circulators are used to duplex two signals. Often circulators are used to combine the transmit and receive signal which are connected to an antenna.
Isolators are essentially the same design as a circulator except that one of the ports is terminated resulting in only one output. Isolators are installed so that they "Isolate" the output. This isolation prevents damaging standing waves from getting back to the transmitter's output stage which would result in a transmitter circuit's failure.

How to use a composting toilet?
Before widen your knowledge about how to use it, I will show you some reason why should you choose a composting toilet in your bathroom to make sure you will not regret!
Why do you need one?
- Simple to install.
Because there is no plumbing, only one vent hose to run outside and one tiny fan, there isn't much to install. Just make sure you will watch some instructions before you get started.
Saves a lot of fresh water and energy!
Composting toilets do not need fresh water for flushing is a good news for everyone. It's a dry toilet that uses organic materials to deal with human waste. There is a number that published by The American Water Works Association Research Foundation that an average household of four uses about 400 gallons of water each day, and toilet flushing it own can account for more than a quarter of that total! Older fashion toilets in particular use large volumes of water to flush, so one way to cut down on household water consumption is to replace less efficient models with low-flow toilets. That means our fresh water tank will last longer for more showers, dish washing and drinking. This is a very good ideal for your "wild camping" and when you have a limited water source and lower your monthly water bills.
Smell less than a normal toilet!
It clearly smells less than a regular one and the smell is way less offensive while "going". When the solids and liquids are separate, they don't make that typical sewage smell that lingers on for hours. Inside the solids tank is peat moss or coconut coir (it is more sustainable). There is also a fan in the tank, it will lead the air along with the bad smells go out while keeping the moisture down inside the solid tank. We must dump it about a week or 10 days for two people living in the RV full time.
Fantastic food for Plant!
We've been using animal poo (like cow's) for a long time as manure for gardening because of it benefits…so have you ever think about using yours? And please do not forget the liquids! Ammonia in your pee has tons of great nitrogen (the stuff included in fertilizers) and can be used for landscapes, fue, and fiber.
Beside the advantages, a composting toilet still have some disadvantages such as:
- Upfront cost of buying.
- Direct dealing with human waste material.
- Owner must commit to properly maintaining toilet and compost.
- Problems with bad smell, insects or poor composting.
How to use?
A composting toilet consists of two elements: a place to sit/squat and a collection or a composting unit. The composting unit devide into four main parts:
- Storage or composting chamber.
- A ventilation part to make sure that the degradation procedure in the toilet is mainly aerobic and to vent odorous gases.
- A leachate collection or urine diversion system to remove excess liquid.
- An enter door for extracting the compost.
Many composting toilets collect urine in the same chamber as feces, thus they do not divert urine. Adding small amounts of water that is used for anal cleansing is no problem for the composting toilet to handle.
– They are not for everyone. You have to be a bit open minded and a bit flexible.
– They are appropriate for certain needs but totally not all needs. Perfect for those living in their own dwelling/camper but not for a commercial wedding factory dealing with hundreds of people per day or for a very major rest-stop on a major multi-lane highway with bus loads of people.
– There is a bit of a learning curve, not too wet, not too dry, not too little carbon (or too much).
– There are limits that require some respect, mostly common sense. True composting is a large hot aerobic mass, not possible in a small barrel.
– No cigarette butts, no tampons, no toxic chemicals.
– There is a bit of management required (but nothing excessive).
– Add a half cup of sawdust or peat per pee and a full cup for a poo.
– Next year, finish the mass in a hole out in a corner of the garden.
Uses of compost?
The material from composting toilets is a humus (like material) which can be suitable as a soil amendment for agriculture. Compost from residential composting toilets can be used in domestic gardens, and this is the main such use.
Enriching soil with compost adds substantial nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, carbon and calcium. In this regard compost is equivalent to many fertilizers and manures purchased in garden stores. Compost from composting toilets has a higher nutrient availability than the dried feces that result from a urine-diverting dry toilet.
Urine is typically present, although some is lost via leaching and evaporation. Urine can contain up to 90 percent of the residual nitrogen, up to 50 percent of the phosphorus and up to 70 percent of the potassium.
Compost derived from these toilets has in principle the same uses as compost derived from other organic waste products, such as sewage sludge or municipal organic waste.
To conclusion, I think a composting toilet is a worth experience to all of us. Have you ever used a composting toilet? If not, would you install one in your home? If you are interested about it and have any question, please don't you ever mind to contact us. We are always here for you and eager to help!

Tocabe - Denver, CO
Whenever I get ready for big trip somewhere, my bucket list is usually one of the top 3 things I work on immediately. I Google this, Yelp that, Open Table here, Trip Advisor there, etc. Although I am the resident foodie in my household, The Prof comes up with a few good spots from time to time. Tocabe was definitely one of those spots during our recent trip to Denver. The Prof saw it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives on Food Network so I knew it had to good, but really he had me at Native American food. I can honestly say I had never had it and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I walked away with a full stomach and Tocabe with a new fan. I imagine you would be too.
With a simple menu, it's easy to get exactly what you might be looking for when you walk into Tocabe. With it being my first I took a moment to ask questions about the different proteins they had - ground beef, grilled chicken, ground bison, shredded bison. No fret my vegetarian friends, they have veggie options as well. I landed on the shredded bison because I've only previously had bison in steak form. The bison was nice and tender and had a smokey flavor to it. It wasn't spicy at all, which is good for someone like me. I topped it with some veggies, a little bit of cheese and a side of the corn salsa. Everything was very fresh and delicious.
The best part for me, hands down, was the bread itself. It was warm and soft and had a hint of sweetness that brought the entire taco together. It's not like a tortilla although it serves a similar function, but was completely different and far superior - I would go that far. I could have eaten just the bread, all by it's lonesome. But I had some pretty tasty toppings to go along with it so I was happy in the end.
I'm glad the The Prof put on it on his bucket list. He didn't have to twist my arm to go, but I would have missed out on an awesome foodie adventure. Tocabe has a couple of locations in Denver and is definitely worth the stop.
