The staff in this place are always friendly. I really like the program they have, when you buy 10 bags of dog food you get 1 free and at 32. 99 a bag that free one comes in handy .. They also sell herbs for humans, and have a pretty good selection which I wasn't expecting considering it's a dog food store. More...

No one in their right mind would ever serve on a board, as either an officer or director, if boards did not have a directors & officers liability policy. No one wants to be sued personally and exposed to personal liability for decisions they made in good faith on behalf of a board. And, if they are sued, absent fraud or intentional misconduct, they want to know there is a liability insurance policy that will defend and indemnify them for claims associated with their errors, omissions, alleged wrongful acts, and breach of fiduciary duties. Such claims need to be covered to ensure a board attracts qualified directors and officers; otherwise, good and qualified people will be deterred by the potential exposure of personal liability.
A directors & officers liability policy (known as a D&O policy) covers claims against a board, including a board's officers and directors, for their errors, omissions, wrongful acts, and breach of fiduciary duties. There is no one-size-fits-all model when it comes to D&O policies so as a board member it is important to know what is covered and what is not. Typically, these are claims made policies that cover claims within the policy period. Also, they are typically declining balance policies meaning that every dollar spent on defense costs reduces the amount of available insurance.
While a D&O policy is absolutely important for boards, it is not designed to insure everything. No insurance policy is. These policies generally are not going to cover fraudulent or dishonest acts by the board. They also are not going to cover property damage or personal injury. (There is other insurance for property damage and personal injury.) There are of course other exclusions that will limit the applicability of the policy which is why it is important to know what is covered versus what is not covered.

I admire this boy's strength for coming forward to talk about it.
The pain of what happened to him will haunt him for life, the more he can express how he feels about it the better. I also wish I could give his mom a big hug and tell her it is not her fault.
Pedophiles often come under a cloak she got fooled like so many other parents out there.
This man preyed on her son and used her to get at him- this is very popular with pedophiles.

Chennai Express Review
Mindless but entertaining Chennai Express is a full throttle masala entertainment ruled by Shah Rukh Khan's star power. . .
. . . Rohit Shetty has said he does not make films for intellectuals. Which is fine, but to be honest I have had problems with Shetty's previous films – always loud, ultra violent, often crass and packed with crude humor.
. . . But in Chennai Express Shetty does something smart – first he managed to convince SRK, and we all know that presence of SRK ensures that we can enjoy movie with family. So, he ropes in the star talents of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone and in the process he smoothens some of the rough edges that were evident in his previous works.
. . . There is still enough loud noise in Chennai Express, some over-the-top background score, exploding cars and stereo typing that would drive the politically correct critics to take a plunge into the ocean in Ramashwaran.
. . . But Chennai Express is also a journey into Shah Rukh Khan nostalgia, many times following the pattern of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaynege – the plot, the songs, dialogues, Rahul's earnest position that he will not elope with the girl he loves, until her father approves of their relationship. (yes, Khan is once again Rahul in this film). And there are many more references to Khan's other films.
. . . I watched Chennai Express in a nearly packed theater in Bangalore with the audience laughing-out-loud at practically every dialogue of Khan, clapping and whistling. I was amused at times as well, although certainly not at much as the audience.
. . . As the film progressed I realized a few things. Sometimes critics should not be separate from the audience. In fact, I think critics should sometimes watch films with the audience and they might see a whole lot different film. As a critic I can advice the audience that most of Chennai Express is loud, very mindless. But I will also say that it is harmless.
. . . I realize there is value to this brand of Bollywood and it is not going to go away. Its purpose is to entertain the audience. And that is where Chennai Express delivers.
. . . Hey, the film is an homage to Ranjnikanth, hence the Lungi Dance song. And even critics rarely trash Rajnikanth's films. As Khan says way too many times in the film – one shouldn't underestimate the power of the common man. And there is some truth in it.
. . . Chennai Express is a full throttle masala entertainment ruled by 47-year-old Khan's star power. He works so hard in film – in playing a comic character, in breaking out into dances, being the romantic Khan that Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar have defined in their films, and ultimately the violent, action hero.
. . . Khan knows he is there to entertain the masses – not much different than Rajnikanth, and he works at it with gusto and the madness of his energy. That is what makes him a super star and so appealing to the audience I watched the film with in Bangalore. And that is what makes Chennai Express work.
. . . Khan is well supported by a woman, half his age, but a star on her own. Padukone is delightful in the film – beautiful, smiling, and often a lot more playful and funny than Khan.
. . . In Chennai Express Padukone is a serial run away bride who gets caught by her large-sized cousins and brought back to her father who is a local don. During one such journey from Mumbai in a train called Chennai Express she meets up with Khan who is carrying his grandfather's ashes – presumably to immerse them in the ocean in Rameshwaran, even though he is actually planning to escape to Goa (don't ask!).
. . . The film's plotline is full of holes, often implausible: a Tamil-speaking sardar turns out to be a lone north Indian in a village in Tamil Nadu and also the local police chief (or was he just a constable?); Khan and Padukone, on the run from the henchmen of her father, keep getting support from other villagers – clothes, a fabulous house to stay in and jeeps to escape; the jeeps start on their own – no keys required; and during one of his escapes, Khan lands in a boat run by oil smugglers operating between India and Sri Lanka.
. . . There is so much silliness in Chennai Express, but the film does not take itself seriously. And then there are some charming moments in the film, especially some of the songs: the lyrical and romantic Titli and
Tera Rastaa Main Chhodoon Na, and Kashmir Main Tu Kanyakumari, a song with pointless lyrics, but a grand scale production.
. . . The film has a colorful look – a production design laced with bright appealing colors. Often the rural settings look artificial, yet they are appealing… forcing me to think of Farah Khan's film like Main Hoon Na, OSO.
. . . As expected the film ends with the Lungi Dance song. As the song played, I heard many people whistle. I almost sensed some people dancing in the darkness of the theater. It was fun to watch the song on the big screen, the energy with which Khan and Padukone danced to Yo Yo Honey Singh's performance.
. . . Still I could not help but think that only eight months ago, Singh was one of the most hated musicians in India for his Balatkari song. His New Year's Eve concert was canceled in Gurgaon after a signature campaign.
. . . How short out memories are. Eight months later Singh is resurrected, back with a bang, singing for one of the biggest films of the year. And hardly anyone is bothered by that! He didn't underestimate the power of common man, perhaps.
. . . Go for a Chennai Express ride. It is gonna let you forget your day to day problems. Laugh and Live. 4 out of 5 scale.

In a previous blog, we discussed the benefits of using Swiftspace furniture in the event of a disaster, if you missed it or are interested in reading more Part 1 can be found here. The last blog focused on disasters that come without warning and require offices and help stations that can be set up quickly in a time crunch. However, this isn't always the case sometimes we do have notice about impending disaster and we can properly prepare. Having a quick and easy solution is still the ideal outcome and Swiftspace is still the best choice in these circumstances.
Consider this, your office location sits in a flood plain and your area has been receiving a lot of rain. With advance notice, standard office furniture would need installers and time to move their pieces. With Swiftspace your whole office can be folded and moved to higher ground in a matter of minutes. It can be set-up short term in another location and then put back in place once the office interiors have been repaired.
The benefit of being able to quickly move your office to a new location means no loss of time or profits and your staff doesn't have a huge disruption in their work week. Plus employees who are already facing a stressful situation get to work in a familiar environment.
Click here to learn more about our products, that will help you keep your office functioning no matter the situation!

Michael (Mike) Loftus
December 3, 1996
Greetings from New Zealand.
My wife and I have been on the Internet for less than a week and are still very much beginners. It didn't take long to find out how to use the various search engines however and being the sort of person who looks up "LOFTUS" in telephone books whereever I go - well, here I am.
My name is Michael (Mike) Loftus and I live with my wife (Lesley), son (Tony) and daughter (Nicky) in Gisborne New Zealand. Our claim to fame in this part of the world is that our city is the first city in the world to see the light of the rising sun each new day. Understandably Gisborne will be a popular place on 1 January 2000 and 2001.
This is all very interesting but I thought you might like to know something about our branch of the family. Naturally I would be delighted to hear from any long lost family by E-mail at email@example.com or by ordinary mail at 96 Stanley Road, Gisborne, New Zealand.
My Grandfather, Edward Loftus, was born on 25 August 1885 at 16 Blagdon Street, All Saints, Newcastle Upon Tyne, England. His father was John Loftus, a slipper maker, and his mother was Henrietta Loftus (nee Wickett).
Edward travelled to New Zealand with a view to becoming a butcher and a farmer. Those dreams were never realised because in a nine month period during the First World War he was called up for military service, trained, shipped to France, lost his left arm (yes he was left handed), and was shipped home.
On 29 March 1918 he married Julia Ethel Ramsay in the town of Ashburton which is approximately 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand. They had four children, John (my Father) (5-5-19), Patricia (20-11-20), Edward (19-12-33) and Margaret (9-8-37). My Grandmother died in 1962 and My Grandfather in 1974.
My father (John, born 5 May 1919 and still going strong), married Irene Margaret Capstick on 9 February 1946 and had three sons, Ian (9-4-48), Peter (21-6-51) and myself (31-7-56) - yes I have just hit 40!! I am often accused of rambling by my wife so I will leave it at that for now. I hope this information is of interest or even of use. I look forward to hearing from you some time soon.
Kind regards
Mike Loftus

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) — Darlene Walters, 72, was injured while trying to save her Jack Russell terrier from a pit bull loose in her yard.
When Walters tried to break up the dog fight, she was hurt by her own dog in the process. Tippecanoe County Animal Control said criminal charges are unlikely because Walters was injured by her own animal.
However, Walters could file a civil lawsuit if she or animal control can confirm the pit bull's owner.
Becky Gipson lives across the street. She has three dogs, one of them a pit bull, but she said it wasn't her dog.
"I'm always out with my dogs. We never, ever, ever leave them out here," said Gipson. "We walk them most of the time. We have a tie out over there that if they're on that tie, we're usually out there with another one walking around."
Walters was unable to meet with us Thursday, but said she hopes to share her story with News 18 next week.
"I don't blame dogs. I blame the owners," said Gipson.
At this point, the case is still open and tips are welcome. Gipson has a few tips of her own, not for investigators, but for those witnessing a dog fight.
"I've learned to just kind of grab water, throw it on them and intervene in some other way. It usually shocks them and makes them stop," said Gipson. "I know personally, with a pit bull, you can get like these brick sticks."
Tippecanoe County Animal Control Officer Seth Kirkendall said it's best not to get involved in a dog fight.
You can call animal control or if you feel the need to do something. Kirkendall recommends pepper spray. Even then, you're risking injury.
Gipson understands why Walters would want to protect her dog.
"Definitely feel for her," said Gipson.

A clay pigeon thrower, more commonly known as a clay pigeon trap, is a machine used for launching targets in the game of clay pigeon shooting, which is also known as clay target shooting or inanimate bird shooting. 'Clay Pigeon Thrower' is a term that dates back to 1830s where live pigeons were used in the game of pigeon shooting, where a missed target was referred to as "bird away" and a "kill" was referred to as a hit.
Market Overview:
Clay pigeon shooting is a sport that involves the use of shotguns to break a flying target, which is made of a fragile material, thrown from a trap or a clay pigeon thrower. The clay pigeon throwers market is at a boom witnesses a boost during significant sports events such as the Olympics, where clay pigeon shooting is a common sport. A clay pigeon thrower is programmed to throw targets up to distances as large as 120 meters. The number of clay pigeon throwers required depends upon the disciple of clay pigeon shooting. For example, in the Olympic trap discipline, 15 clay pigeon throwers are arranged into five groups of three, concealed by a trench present precisely in front of the shooting stand. Thus, the demand for clay pigeon throwers is high during significant sports events.
Market Dynamics:
Growing popularity of clay pigeon shooting – from a leisure, recreational sport to one of the major games in Olympics – has increased awareness regarding this sport, thus attracting people of all age groups. The demand for clay pigeon throwers is rising with the growing popularity of clay pigeon. With developments in clay pigeon shooting, such as laser clay shooting, the magnitude of people playing this sport is increasing at a fast pace, ultimately boosting demand for the clay pigeon thrower market. Laser shooting is a varied form of clay pigeon shooting wherein shooting guns are disabled and lasers are fitted in them. Laser pigeon shooting is specially designed for beginners as it is a safe alternative to traditional clay pigeon shooting. Clay pigeon throwers are designed as per the application. High demand for clay pigeon throwers in sports applications is one of the other reasons contributing to the growth of the clay pigeon thrower market.
There is a great deal of variation in clay pigeon throwers available in the market. Clay pigeon throwers vary in terms of functionality as well as cost. One of the factors that is more likely to hamper the market growth is the unavailability of automatic clay pigeon throwers, which provide a variable trajectory and are also economical. Also, clay pigeon shooting comes under leisure sports and hence, is practiced by sports enthusiasts and during sporting events such as Olympics. Thus, there is a steady demand for clay pigeon throwers, which is expected to further grow over the forecast period.
Growing popularity of the leisure sports market will eventually surge the popularity of clay pigeon shooting over the forecast period. This is an excellent opportunity for clay pigeon thrower manufacturers.
Fully automatic clay pigeon throwers are replacing manual clay pigeon throwers. A fully automatic clay pigeon thrower provides many advantages over manual clay pigeon throwers. For example, a manual clay pigeon thrower has to be loaded, cocked and released by hand, whereas in a fully automatic clay pigeon thrower, the clay pigeon is thrown by a remote control, either by activating the acoustic system by the voice of shooter or by pressing the button. A fully automatic clay pigeon thrower is electrically operated and has a capacity of 600 targets.
Market Segmentation:
The global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into five types on the basis of the product type – discipline type, target type, target type, capacity and maximum launch angle.
On the basis of the product type, the global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into – Manual Clay Pigeon Thrower and Fully Automated Clay Pigeon Thrower.
On the basis of the discipline type, the global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into – Down-The-Line (DTL) single barrel, double rise, Automatic Ball Trap (ABT), Olympic trap, double trap, universal trench and helice (or ZZ).
On the basis of the target type, the global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into – Standard, Midi, Mini, Battue, Rabbit and ZZ.
On the basis of the capacity, the global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into – 100 – 400 Clays, 400 – 800 Clays, and above 800 Clays.
On the basis of maximum launch angle, the global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into – 0-50°, 50-75° and 75-90°.
On the basis of the region, the global clay pigeon thrower market can be segmented into – Latin America, North America, Middle East and Africa (MEA), Europe, Asia Pacific Except Japan (APEJ) and Japan.
Increasing popularity of the recreational sports industry in Europe is contributing to the growth of the clay pigeon thrower market in this region. Europe is estimated to grow with a high CAGR during the forecast period. The concentration of key manufacturers of clay pigeon throwers in this region is another reason why Europe is estimated grow with a high CAGR during the forecast period. North America and APEJ (Asia Pacific except Japan) regions are expected to experience steady growth in the clay pigeon thrower market, while Latin America, Japan, and MEA regions are expected to experience slow growth in the clay pigeon thrower market over the forecast period.
Market Participants:
Some of the players operating in the clay pigeon thrower market are Beomat USA, Champion Traps and Targets, Bowman Traps, Promatic International Ltd., Mec Shooting Sports, Primax Hunting Gear Limited, Atlas Traps, Lincoln Traps, Eurotarget, Mattarelli SRL and Laporte Ball Trap SAS.
Major players in the market are following the latest trends in the market and focusing on the production of fully automatic clay pigeon throwers, which is expected to have a major impact on the growth of the global clay pigeon thrower market. Conclusively, it can be said that the clay pigeon thrower market will see growth over the forecast period, owing to the increasing popularity of recreational and leisure sports.

Broken Bodhisattva Statue at Tholing | Buddha Photos of Tibet
Regular price £25.00
Photo of a broken Bodhisattva statue at Tholing Monastery in Tibet.
In this poignant photograph from Tholing monastery in Far Western Tibet, the legs are all that remain of a painted Bodhisattva statue destroyed in the destruction of the Cultural Revolution. Tholing and nearby Tsaparang were the centres of the ancient 12th century Buddhist kingdom of Guge.
The statue is standing between two stupas that were also destroyed and their contents burned.
The Chinese government is replacing all the old Tibetan place names with Chinese names, so if you look on the map Tholing is now called Zanda.

Yesterday, I shared how I'm trying to simplify my decorating as the seasons change. I don't want to spend days decorating for a particular season, because there are so many other things I want to do instead.
Except for the mantel!
This is my fun space.
My let's-get-creative-and-do-something-totally-new space.
My favorite thing in the world with decorating is to take something that is totally junk, and make it at home with lovely, pleasant little things.
(I have some rusty furniture springs I really, really wanted to incorporate - but they just weren't working.....at least not yet.)
Our home is pretty formal by nature, but we are not. I guess adding a little junk is my way of not taking this house, or decorating, or myself too seriously.
I can't say my dear husband is as enthusiastic about the cast-offs as I am, but it has become a source of intrigue and humor for him.
I bought this picture for the frame, but the painting is so perfect for this time of year. Isn't it pretty?
In the 2nd picture above if you look at the bottom of the large frame, it is damaged and most of the ornamentation is missing. However, it is quite old - and I love its character!
I have a crazy little confession about this vignette. If you come back tomorrow, I'll tell you what it is!

MC Nas looked like the king of New York at a Halloween party with his daughter Destiny Jones.
The famous rapper dressed as Pinky from the hit film, Next Friday, while Destiny opted to be a character from HBO's Boardwalk Empire which has since been canceled.
Fans love the looks and are thrilled to see a rapper all dressed up and having fun for Halloween.
One person said: "Salute OG you have a lot of classic roles. It's Pinky Nukka!!! Never thought I would see my favorite rappers. That's the smile of a happy n proud Father; I know it all too well. King & princess. @nas is really out here living his best life, like consistently tho."
Another commenter stated: "I do not wanna be in no damn club with my parents or kids. His daughter his twin. NAZ the finest and most UNDERRATED rapper ever. This is Cute. King of New York @nas & Princess of New York @iamdestinyjones."
In a past interview, Destiny said this about her famous father: "I was painfully aware that my dad was a star. I remember being 4-years-old and seeing him on the cover of every single magazine and I would be like 'Look, that's dad!' And my mom would be like 'Shh! Quiet.' My whole life…I just always knew."
She went on to add: "Stop comparing yourself to your parents. We're NOT our parents. We're our own people, and even though they've set a great example for us, we have to be our own person and make our own lane. If you spend your life trying to imitate them and be just like them, you'll always be second."
About her Lipmatic lip gloss line, she explained: "For about a year I would have different ideas, but it wasn't until I thought of the name for it that I was ready to move forward. I thought of Lipmatic, so I told my dad, and when he heard the name I think that's when he got excited about it, and we just kind of took it from there."
Those two have a beautiful relationship.

Puffins are basically the cutest thing on the planet, and we're happy to present them to you with only brief commercial breaks from the National Council on Pediatric Dentistry.
1. So puffins are pretty much just little feathery bundles of pure adorable.
2. Puffins know they are literally perfect.
3. "Oh hai. I am ready for my close-up."
4. The puffins will resume after this ad.
5. Puffins live in huge island colonies, so they can hang out with all their friends. Jealous!
6. We have to take another quick ad break for the National Council on Pediatric Dentistry, but don't worry, there are plenty more puffins coming right up!
7. We hope you don't find this handful of ads too obtrusive. Advertisements are really the bread and butter for web publishers, and we assure you that the National Council on Pediatric Dentistry had no influence over the editorial content of this list.
8. A puffin's favorite food is fish, but they also eat other sea creatures like small crustaceans and mollusks. Nom nom nom!
9. The puffin fact in the previous list item was the Brushin' Up Fact of the Day brought to you by the National Council on Pediatric Dentistry. We thank them for their support.
10. Look at that face! Yup, we're officially obsessed with puffins.

Sep 2019
Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) has become a prime target for cyber thieves. And that's because it contains so much more information about an individual than regular data. That makes it worth more money on the Dark Web.
Imagine being able to buy the personal health information of wealthy business people like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates or Oprah. Any wealthy business owner's health info is valuable to cybercriminals because it can give unsavory individuals an edge. That's why these new regulations were developed—to keep ePHI out of the hands of crooks.
If you run any type of healthcare organization, it's your responsibility to ensure that you have the most robust data security protocols in place. If a cyber breach does occur, and the investigation reveals that your organization was not following best practices for securing PHI, you can be held financially responsible for the data leak.
It's important for your healthcare organization and all your vendors to have strong IT security measures in place. These rules must be followed by everyone in order to keep patients' confidential data secure in all formats.
ePHI Data Breaches Increasing at Alarming Rates
According to Verizon's 2018 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), the healthcare industry is experiencing tremendous increases in the number of data breaches. Almost daily, we hear of a new breach at some doctor's office or hospital. And this is occurring all over the world; not just in America.
Ransomware has become a huge problem. In this type of breach, an employee accidentally downloads a virus that locks up all your computers. Your files and computers are taken hostage until you pay the ransom. This type of attack is now responsible for 39 percent of the breaches:
"Ransomware remains a significant threat for companies of all sizes," said Verizon Executive Director of Security Professional Services Bryan Sartin. "It is now the most prevalent form of malware, and its use has increased significantly over recent years."
Best Practices: 10 Steps to Secure ePHI
Your healthcare organization has a duty to meet all requirements under HIPAA for audit controls, data integrity, access controls, person or entity authentication, and secure data transmission and storage. By following these 10 security best practices, your practice can remain compliant.
1. Locate any security gaps in your IT network. You can start by asking an IT security specialist to run a security assessment on your network. They will provide you with a report that outlines any weak areas such as aging technology, programs that have not been updated and patched, etc.
2. Stay up-to-date on the current threats to healthcare data. There are new threats every day and you have to be aware of this in order to combat it.
3. Implement Remote Management and Monitoring and Data Intrusion Solutions to detect unauthorized attempts to breach your system and block them. Your IT service provider can handle this from end-to-end.
4. Utilize enterprise-based antivirus, firewalls, advanced threat protection solutions, EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), and DMARC (Domain-Based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) email-validation solutions.
5. Ask your IT provider to provide Security Awareness Training for your employees. This must be an ongoing thing because employees forget and get careless. Also, the tricks that cybercriminals use are constantly evolving. Plan regular security training for several times a year.
6. Make sure you only allow access to important information to those who need it. Your HR department should revoke all credentials of those employees who leave your organization.
7. Use audit controls to gain visibility into your ePHI and EHRs. Monitor all access and record all login attempts. Respond immediately to unauthorized attempts.
8. Adopt a HIPAA Security Policy for your organization. This is an important step. Employees must know the rules in order to keep them. HIPAA Security Rules and your own policies should be made clear and available to everyone. Your Incident Response Plan can designate a person or team responsible and describe their roles and the steps they should take if a data breach occurs. Don't just wait till a cyber breach occurs and then try to handle it on-the-fly.
9. Perform regular ePHI inventories. Ask your IT provider to help you perform regular inventories to determine where on your systems, servers and applications ePHI is stored.
10. Identify how you use, collect store and share patient data. You must also have a secure method for deleting ePHI. Remember that if you just drag a file to your computer trash can, it still resides on the computer.
The Bottom Line
Your IT provider can implement solutions to minimize your risk with:

I am pulling out a few paragraphs of what lies beneath the covers of the book I wrote, Le Chic Cocoon, to whet your appetite for more.
Chapter One, Myth to Mastery
"My life veered off the safe course I had envisioned. Teetering on the wall of divorce, my life was spiraling out of control. Who was I? How was I going to exist? I had to dig deep into a well of my own truth and build myself up again. Ponder how I had traveled so far from who I thought I was. Other people's thoughts did not make me. That moment of self-discovery created a need for a Chic Cocoon of my own. Embroiled in the fabric of my own story, I could not move without letting go of myths I had swallowed for half a century. I realized that day that this was a universal truth for many women, and Virginia Woolf came to mind.
"LOCK UP YOUR LIBRARIES IF YOU LIKE, BUT THERE IS NO GATE, NO LOCK, NO BOLT THAT YOU CAN SET UPON THE FREEDOM OF MY MIND." – Virginia Woolf (A Room of One's Own)
Cinderella has a fairy godmother; she is stunning and has skills like no one's business. Her stepmother is a bitch, and Cinders just takes it, because she is a true a princess. So she hangs out at the fireplace in rags, sweeping and sighing till a prince discovers the shoe fits and carries her off to a castle to live happily ever after. No one knows what indignities she suffers as a woman who couldn't say no. This is all part of the myths that we swallow when we allow other people's assumptions and opinions to rule our actions, when we are shamed into giving up what we truly long for.
