Wisconsin State Natural Areas Program Dells Of The Eau Claire River (No. 109)
Within Dells of the Eau Claire County Park, Marathon County. T29N-R10E, Section 7 SW¼. 41 acres.
The Dells of the Eau Claire River protects a scenic, narrow rocky gorge and waterfalls where geologic processes have resulted in an unusual tilting of bedrock. On this picturesque stretch of the Eau Claire River, the river cascades over outcrops of Precambrian-age rhyolite schist. The rhyolite schist, a very hard rock, was formed through metamorphosis and later tilted here to a nearly vertical position allowing the rock to split readily along the cleavage planes. In the dells, the river tumbles and spills across the rock's cleavage planes while it runs smoothly in other areas where the river flows parallel to the planes. The water current through the dells has been strong enough to produce a series of potholes, formed by the grinding action of swirling sand and gravel. Downstream the flow is quite tranquil. This is an excellent area to observe fracture controlled stream flow and the development of multiple stream terraces. The rocky gorge and forested areas are wooded with a northern mesic forest of hemlock, sugar maple, yellow birch, and mountain maple. Canada yew is abundant in dense patches and the spring flora is rich. The Dells of the Eau Claire is owned by Marathon County and was designated a State Natural Area in 1973.
Driving directions
From the intersection of Highways 52 and Y in Hogarty, go west and south on County Highway Y about 3.3 miles to a parking area south of the river and west of the road. Hiking trails lead through the natural area.
Dells Of The Eau Claire River is owned by:
- Marathon County
The DNR's state natural areas program is comprised of lands owned by the state, private conservation organizations, municipalities, other governmental agencies, educational institutions and private individuals. While the majority of SNAs are open to the public, access may vary according to individual ownership policies. Public use restrictions may apply due to public safety, or to protect endangered or threatened species or unique natural features. Lands may be temporarily closed due to specific management activities. Users are encouraged to contact the landowner for more specific details.
The data shown on these maps have been obtained from various sources, and are of varying age, reliability, and resolution. The data may contain errors or omissions and should not be interpreted as a legal representation of legal ownership boundaries.
Very few State Natural Areas have public facilities, but nearly all are open for a variety of recreational activities as indicated below. Generally, there are no picnic areas, restrooms, or other developments. Parking lots or designated parking areas are noted on individual SNA pages and maps. Trails, if present, are typically undesignated footpaths. If a developed trail is present, it will normally be noted on the SNA map and/or under the "Access" tab. A compass and topographic map or a GPS unit are useful tools for exploring larger, isolated SNAs.
The good majority of SNAs are isolated and have few or no facilities. Some SNAs have vehicle access lanes or parking lots, but their accessibility may vary depending on weather conditions. Parking lots and lanes are not plowed during winter. Hiking trails may be nonexistent or consist of undeveloped footpaths. A GPS unit or compass and detailed topographic map are useful tools for exploring larger SNAs.
Non-DNR lands
Entrance fees: For non-DNR-owned SNAs, we are unaware of any vehicle or admission fees. However, please contact the landowner for more information.
Hunting and trapping
This is a non-DNR owned SNA: Opportunities for hunting and trapping depend on the land owner. Please contact them directly to find out about their rules for hunting and trapping. You can find a link to other owner websites under the "Resources" heading above. More details regarding allowable uses of this non-DNR owned SNA may be posted, if available, under the "Access" tab above.
Other activities
Other allowable activities such as - but not limited to camping, geocaching and bicycling are determined by the landowner. Please contact them directly or visit their websites for details.

Hunter Pitts O'Dell
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (April 2009)
Jack O'Dell (aka Hunter Pitts O'Dell), born August 11, 1923,[1] is a prominent African-American member of the American Civil Rights Movement.
Early life
Jack O'Dell was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1923. O'Dell was raised there by his grandfather, a janitor at a public library, and his grandmother. He attended an all-black college Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans from 1941 until 1943. During World War II, he served in the U.S. Merchant Marines, which functioned as a branch of the military forces for the duration of the conflict. During this time, he joined the National Maritime Union, one of the few racially integrated labor unions in the U.S.[2]
Communist party
During the 1950s, Jack O'Dell was a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA).(The Man Behind the Myth, Des Griffin, p20)
Martin Luther King, Jr and the Civil Rights Movement
He worked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. O'Dell was a director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Because of O'Dell's past involvement with the Communist Party, Dr. King received pressure from many liberal leaders—including the Kennedy brothers, John and Robert—to distance himself from O'Dell. After conferring with King, O'Dell decided to accept a less prominent post within the movement in order not to alienate important allies of the Civil Rights struggle; nevertheless, he continued to play a decisive role in the SCLC, as well as in King's move towards the political left towards the end of his life.[3]
Jesse Jackson
Jack O'Dell worked closely with the Rev. Jesse Jackson. He was a senior foreign policy advisor to the "Jesse Jackson for President" campaign in 1984. He also worked with Jackson as an international affairs consultant to the National Rainbow Coalition
Later years
O'Dell wrote for Freedomways, an African-American political journal, from its beginning in 1961 to its end in 1985.[2] He was Chair of the Pacifica Foundation, which supports the Pacifica Radio Network, from 1977 to 1997.[4]
Jack O'Dell lives with his wife, Jane Power, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He is active in mentoring new generations of political activists—as well as historians of the Civil Rights Movement—in the Pacific Northwest.

double stamped lotus background
The design here is pretty straightforward. First I stamped the circle doily from the Hero Arts/BasicGrey Picadilly Hello There set (coming in October!) in black. Then, I masked it off and stamped the Lotus Background not once, but twice, over the top. The second generation impression was given a little mist of water. I like to change the look of a background stamp by double stamping it like this every now and then. It's all about the versatility! Oh, and the background is also misted lightly with Perfect Pearls and water, but the sun didn't want to come out so I had trouble capturing it in the photo.
So happy the weekend has rolled around. Do you have any fun plans? I have a little birthday shopping to do for a soon-to-be 10 year old. No more single digits around here...we're movin' on up! Ready or not. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

By John R. Platt | Takepart.com February 3, 2015
When most people want a pet, they get a cat or a dog. Other people steal endangered species from the wild.
That's the sad situation confronting the Palawan forest turtle, a critically endangered species that lives on just a single island in the Philippines. Only about 3,000 of these rare turtles are believed to remain in the wild, a number that is shrinking rapidly. Over the past two months at least 186 forest turtles—more than 6 percent of the entire known population—have been rescued from five groups of poachers who intended to sell them on the illegal international pet trade, according to a report this week from TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network.
The forest turtles' very rarity makes them even more desired, as collectors will pay large amounts of money on the black market for endangered turtles and tortoises. The rarer they are, the higher the price they fetch.
The turtles were most likely headed to Europe or North America, said Chris Shepherd, TRAFFIC's Southeast Asia regional director.
"Southeast Asia is also seeing a booming increase in the exotic pet trade," he said, "so it is not inconceivable that they were headed somewhere a little closer to home." He said that no arrests have been made yet, although investigations are ongoing.
The Palawan forest turtle was once believed to be extinct. Unseen since 1920, the species was rediscovered in 2001. A scientific paper detailing that find was published in 2004. A booming illegal trade in the animals began soon after.
"The trade of the Palawan forest turtle is rampant, and most past conservation work has failed," said Pierre Fidenci, president of Endangered Species International, which has been active for several years in trying to protect the turtles.
He said the poaching has become so bad that some of the sites that once held the turtles could now be depleted.
"If trade continues at that level, this species could be gone within its major habitat sites in a decade or so," Fidenci said.
Protecting the turtles won't be expensive, but it will require effort. "To succeed in saving the Palawan forest turtle, we must create core habitat protection zones where active patrols are conducted using local communities," he said. "Further inspections at ports, exchange transits, and other locations are necessary as well."
Fidenci also called for increased efforts to educate local people and authorities about the existing laws that already—in theory if not in execution—protect the turtles.
As for the 186 turtles rescued over the past two months, Shepherd reported that they are in quarantine to make sure they have not contracted any diseases from their captors.
"If they are found healthy, they will be returned to the wild," he said.
Hopefully, this time they'll be there to stay.

The Baby Project's Catalytic Event
From responses from both teachers and parents, I decided to continue both project work and any other work we are doing in the classroom or as a professional team with my assistant. Over the course of the next few weeks I will updated the blog to meet where we are currently with our project. By this point, I should be ready and prepared to share what I have learned so far with my current, Conscious Discpline goal. Enjoy!
The children have been very interested in the Honeybee classroom (our Birth to Two Classroom), siblings and cousins that were infants, hoping their teachers would have babies, and a parent who was pregnant. The conversations about babies became the strongest when one morning, the children were able to feel the babies in arm in the mother's stomach. They watched the baby kick and were so excited to share with other classrooms, teaching staff, and their parents. When Ava's sister was born, Lily Kay, she brought in pictures to share thus beginning our project!

Bangalore November 29, 2004
Infosys Technologies continued its tradition of encouraging young talent through another 'first - of its - kind' initiative - an Architectural Design Competition. Infosys invited final year students from nine premier architecture colleges across India to submit conceptual proposals. The proposals would be considered for exteriors and interiors of avant garde buildings to be constructed in the various Infosys development centers across India. An esteemed panel of judges including Mr. Narayana Murthy, Mr. T. V. Mohandas Pai and renowned architects such as Mr. Hafeez Contractor and Mr. Ravindra Kumar adjudged the competition.
A team of five from Goa College of Architecture won the first prize of Rs 2. 5 lakh. Students from C. E. P. T Ahmedabad and the team from R. V. C. E, Bangalore, shared the second prize of Rs. 1. 25 lakh. A consolation prize of Rs 20,000 was distributed to students of the remaining colleges who participated in the competition.
Congratulating the students on the occasion, Mr T. V. Mohandas Pai, Chief Financial Officer and Director (Finance and Administration), Infosys Technologies said, "Infosys believes in encouraging young minds to be creative and innovative, since it brings forth fresh ideas. Our endeavor through this initiative was to provide an opportunity to the students to work on real time projects. We were very impressed by the standard of artistry, creativity and level of imagination depicted by the participants. We wish them a great career ahead."
The designs submitted were conceptual proposals for the Software Development Block, Food Court and Customer Care Block. The students who participated in the Competition were invited to Infosys campus in Bangalore for an appraisal of the project requirements. During the visit, they were taken on a conducted tour of Infosys premises to get a feel of the work culture and environment.

Our local health food store here in Central Florida is small, independent and in many ways the owners are still learning about health and foods that that are truly full of VITALITY. There is a group of us (about 30) who eat nothing but living foods (8-1-1-style). The health food store owners are very enterprising and desire to fill their customers' needs so recently, they expanded their produce section and they are bringing in many other raw/living food items that we like to buy. They are…Continue

I drove by a billboard today for a local hospital. It says they can help people with their joint pain. I suspect they mean surgery and drugs. The billboard showed a man in his late '50s playing golf enthusiastically.
I will be 57 in September. The idea of joint pain is completely foreign to me now although I did have it a couple years ago before I began an HCRV lifestyle. A great deal of joint pain stems from…Continue

Yesterday, I got stung on the inside of my upper arm by a yellowjacket wasp. (Yellowjackets are not bees. They are wasps. Anyway, she came out of nowhere! What did I do?!)
I was stung a few years ago on the palm of my hand and my body didn't respond all that well. My hand swelled up so large I could hardly use it for several days, not to mention how much it throbbed for a really long time. So when I got stung yesterday, I panicked for a moment. I w…Continue

Go to just about any restaurant with your children and find the same kids' menu almost without exception: fried chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, french fries, and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I was in Whole Foods (WF) the other day and walked past the food buffets. (I can't find a single thing to eat from their buffets or deli if I'm hungry. It's almost all cooked. None of it is organic and the dishes include all kinds of other objectionable ingredients.) But back to my…Continue

By Frank Sabatini Jr. | Restaurant Review
Everything is still pristinely intact: the wagon-wheel chandeliers, knotty wood paneling and the red-and-yellow checkered flooring. So is the menu of smoked meats and basic side dishes worthy of a hootenanny in Texas Hill Country.
Welcome to The BBQ Pit, a historical North Park eatery that operated from 1952 to 2002 until its newest owner, Tony Daniel, resurrected it in December from a 16-year nap.
Daniel was a longtime employee at the company's National City location before purchasing the shuttered restaurant from Doug Jenson, whose late Texas-born uncle, Joe J. Browning, and grandfather, Edward C. Jenson, launched the business Downtown in 1947.
Throughout the course of its history, The BBQ Pit branched into 30 addresses within San Diego County.
Today only two others remain — in National City and El Cajon, both of which are owned by Browning family members.
An enormous brick pit with heavy steel lids resides in the North Park kitchen, which was used in the dark years for occasional back-door catering orders.
A few feet away is an old storage closet filled with oak, the only wood Daniel uses for smoking hams, beef roasts, chickens, hot links, and marvelously messy pork and beef spare ribs.
All of the meats are available in plate form with a choice of two side dishes.
The offerings are pretty much the same as decades ago, including the company's sole barbecue sauce made from ketchup, vinegar, sugar and various spices.
We wondered if cinnamon or star anise was one of them.
Daniel's additions to the menu are pulled pork (juicy but a little chewy), mac n' cheese (commendably smooth and tangy) and green beans (flavorful because they're braised with ham bones).
My companion's favorite protein during an early lunch was the pork spare ribs, which flaunted thin, brittle bark on top, hammy layers of flesh underneath, and tasty patches of fat along the bones.
If you're looking for neat, dainty baby backs, you've come to the wrong place. Ditto if you prefer flame-broiled meats. Neither exists here.
I was especially fond of the beef, which was cut from a smoked roast into lean, medium-thick slices and stacked modestly on a plain hamburger bun without any jus, condiments or garnishes.
Horseradish is available upon request, and I assumed at first it would be needed. But the meat contained enough moisture and flavor that I didn't bother.
Other sides we tried included coleslaw tossed in The BBQ Pit's original dressing of white and apple cider vinegars, mayo, sugar, salt and pepper.
It's your basic, unadulterated 1950-era recipe best eaten in concert with french fries, which are of the golden, crispy type here.
The baked beans were thick-skinned and mildly smoky, and a simple green salad with shredded carrots and red cabbage perked up from a few dribbles of zesty Italian dressing of unknown origin.
As the only place for Texas-style barbecue in North Park's central commercial district, the eatery offers good bang for the buck and non-cramped seating. Portions are fairly generous, and the interior is bright, clean and roomy.
Also, free parking is available in the back despite the lack of signs indicating so. But Daniel assures they'll soon go up and that customers can legally park there.
The BBQ Pit will celebrate its grand reopening March 10 with free smoked-meat sliders from noon to 3 p.m., plus raffles for BBQ Pit gift certificates and other prizes taking place throughout the day.

Hello there.
What will be the best approach to create an interactive wall with the airscan that in the moment you touch on it, the wall shatter in pieces, keeping the rest in the position. But if I touch another part, that part also brokes in pieces.
Hope I explain myself properly.

Veteran Mike Bibby started last night against the Nets and it's not inconceivable for interim coach Mike Woodson's favorite son to be the starting point guard in the first round of the playoffs if Baron Davis breaks down.
Bibby made a good case with his strong performance last night.
Davis, suffering from numerous ailments, was sidelined yesterday by a stomach virus that plagued him in Tuesday night's win over Boston. Davis, who also is battling hamstring, knee, neck and back woes, did not make the trip to Newark last night.
Bibby, amidst a roller-coaster season in and out of the rotation, is the ace in the hole for the playoffs for Woodson, who had him in Atlanta for three seasons. Last night, he had eight points and eight assists with just one turnover in 36 minutes in the Knicks' 104-95 win over the Nets.
"You need a stable guy out there who can direct traffic," Woodson said. "He played a lot of minutes, but I thought he was solid all the way through in running our offense."
With Davis ailing against Boston, Bibby excelled, posting 26 minutes, three points, six assists and five rebounds.
Jeremy Lin hasn't started running since undergoing knee surgery and is not expected to beat his six-week timetable, keeping him out until the second round of the playoffs if the Knicks get there.
"I'm familiar with Mike, comfortable with him,'' said Woodson, who is down on Toney Douglas. "I know he's capable of running a team. He probably doesn't run it as quickly as we want a point guard to run it but he's efficient.''
* Woodson on Amar'e Stoudemire, who will scrimmage today before getting the green light for tomorrow's return in Cleveland: "I'm hoping Friday is the day he returns.''
* J.R. Smith, a native of Freehold, N.J., says the Nets never caught on in his home state. "It's a tough place to sell with basketball,'' he said. "So many people are huge on football, it's ridiculous. Coming to Brooklyn, it will boost the rivalry.''
* Woodson played on the Nets during their inaugural season at the Meadowlands in 1981-82 before being traded by Larry Brown to Kansas City. Woodson said he recalls a lot of near-sellouts.
"I remember that year, they filled it that year,'' Woodson said. "It was a short time but a good time.''

After watching the episode of Good Eats called 'Choux Shine' I decided to follow Alton Brown's advice of using bread flour when making choux pastry. I didn't use his recipe though, I just used bread flour instead of plain flour in a recipe I already had, because his recipe makes 48 profiteroles and I didn't want that many. I'm not sure the bread flour makes a huge difference, but they did puff up in the oven and didn't deflate when I took them out, which is the problem that some people have.
I'm not a huge fan of cream, so I filled them with ice cream instead. The chocolate sauce is really gorgeous and so easy to make. This quantity of sauce will be enough for 6-8 people, so I just put the remainder in the fridge where it can stay for 3 days.
I will try Alton's recipe next time, as this recipe only makes 12 and they went down very well, so I'm sure that more will be needed for next time!
- Makes: 12 profiteroles
- Oven temperature: Gas mark 7/425°F/220°C then reduce to Gas mark 5/375°F/190°C
- You will need: a deep saucepan, a baking sheet lined with parchment or Magic Non-Stick Liner.
- 25g butter
- 150ml water
- 50g plain or bread flour
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 100g plain chocolate (I used Asda Value)
- 150ml double cream
- 2 Tablespoons golden syrup
- Vanilla ice cream (I used Carte D'Or)
- Preheat the oven to Gas mark 7/425°F/220°C.
- Sift the flour onto a piece of greaseproof paper.
- Put the butter and water into a deep saucepan and heat until the butter has melted. Bring to the boil.
- Then add all the flour at once and quickly lift off the heat, beating hard with a wooden spoon until you get a smooth, thick paste that comes away from the sides of the saucepan (about 30-40 seconds). If necessary replace the pan over the heat and beat for a few minutes.
- With the pan off the heat, add the egg yolk and beat really well until it is incorporated (it might seem like it has curdled and won't mix in, but persevere!), then add the beaten egg a little at a time (you might not need it all) beating continuously. The mixture should be thick and shiny and be able to stand up on its own.
- Place the choux pastry into a piping bag with a 1cm plain nozzle and pipe blobs in a circular motion onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes at Gas mark 7/425°F/220°C, then reduce to Gas mark 5/375°F/190°C for 20 minutes, until they are golden brown and feel dry to the touch.
- Remove from the oven, then use a skewer to poke a hole in the bottom of each one to allow the steam to escape and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Split the profiteroles in half, then sandwich the halves together with a generous teaspoon of vanilla ice cream.
- To make the sauce: Place the chocolate, double cream and golden syrup in a small saucepan and gently heat until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy. Pour over the profiteroles.
- I recommend watching Alton's 'Choux Shine' episode to get a really good idea of how to make choux pastry, as he shows you what the texture should be like. It's also quite an amusing episode!
- Since my piping bag busted, I used a plastic food bag instead (like Alton suggests) and it worked really well.
- I made the pastry by hand, which was fine, but when I try Alton's recipe I will use a mixer because it is a much bigger quantity and it will be easier to incorporate all those eggs!

You have probably seen a lot of tutorials online about classic braids and if you would like a hairstyle with a slightly different way of braiding this article is the perfect inspiration for you. This braiding technique is called shoelace braiding, because it is very similar with how shoelaces look on your sports shoes. Maybe you think this is almost impossible to make, but everything is quite simple, if you know how to make a knot the rest will be extremely easy. You won't believe it, but this is a 10 minutes hairstyle as it is so fast to make, especially after you have learned and understood the steps you have to follow.
What you will need:
– hair mousse that is volumizing;
– some hair elastics;
– some bobby pins.
1. Apply the volumizing mousse to your hair from the roots to the end so the shoelace braids stay tightly.
2. Split your hair in the middle of your head, then starting from the right side take 2 small hair strands and make a knot.
3. Then take another 2 small hair strands from a little lower, gather each one with the previous one from the upper knot and make another knot.
4. Repeat the process until you almost reached the back of your head and secure with some bobby pins.
5. Do the same on the left side of your head, then gather all of your hair in a big ponytail,
6. Make a fishtail braid on the hair left then twist it in a bun and your hairstyle is ready!

I'm focusing on the negatives here - apologies in advance!
I love adventure/platform games. Specifically the N64 era Rare titles and Mario 64. I played them all. They are my bag. And I'm super happy to support Playtonic Games in everything they make and will keep doing so if they continue to help revive this genre. However, i'm having issues with Yooka-Laylee and they're nearly all centred around the controls. Specifically the camera. It feels a little wonky and - and this is the bit that really grates - it keeps fighting me as i'm running around and trying to direct the view! An option for a free camera would be very, very welcome. There also appears to be a tiny bit of input lag (playing on PS4 and not the display) and little weight to the characters. Things don't feel snappy and precise. To some these may be minor gripes, but for me the controls and feel of the game are everything and, in these respects, Yooka-Laylee feels like a step back.
And the voices. They are annoying. Subjective, I know, and they never bothered me in previous games, but for whatever reason they annoy the hell out of me in Yooka-Laylee. Turning off sound effects in options fixed this but unfortunately turn of all character sounds - I want to hear jump noise etc. It'd be OK if characters made the garbled speech noise for a second or so when starting a string of conversation (i'm doing this manually by pressing X, which is a hassle), but for the whole time makes me want to eat my own face! I've also been banned from playing in the living room purely because of this
So sorry about the moan. There's plenty of good to write about - it's a joy to have a big 3D playground to run around and explore again - but the above issues have marred things for me.

August 26th marks National Dog Day in the United States, a day dedicated to celebrating man's best friend and the companionship, aid, and unwavering loyalty they bring to their owners. What better way to celebrate our furry-friends than to let them follow us to the office? Not only is it a benefit for puppies (creating opportunities to socialize them with people and other dogs, giving them more exercise, and reducing anxiety by keeping them close to their owners) – bringing your dog to work also has benefits for employees. Having dogs around can actually increase productivity, reduce stress, and inspire creativity.
Softchoice has experienced these benefits first-hand – we've been dog-friendly since 1989! With over 80 canines that frequent our offices across North America, dogs in the workplace is a part of our corporate culture. It's a shared value among our employees, and it has made many of their experiences working here that much more enjoyable. When you're enthusiastic about the company, its people (and its four-legged friends), it naturally makes you more productive and a stronger ambassador for the brand when interacting with clients. This is why we're big supporters of dogs at work, and why we're sharing our tips on how we make our furry-friends a great fit in our work environment. The key is in developing a good dog-friendly policy that keeps both canines and employees in line.
To help you get started on creating your own dogs at work policy, here are our 4 tips on creating an employee-led dogs in the workplace policy:
Step 1: Make sure your facilities are equipped to take on dogs!
- Renting your office space? You'll have to check with your landlord to see if they allow dogs on the property.
- Have dog-free zones set up for people with allergies and fears. Doggy-dander can travel far, so make sure you find a way to keep employees with allergies comfortable without relying on Claritin!
- Make sure there's a grassy area nearby for your dogs to roam!
Step 2: Start a dog committee.
- This employee-led committee should take charge of all things dog-related, including writing policies (see step 3), conducting interviews with the dogs' owners to see if the pups are a good fit for the office, and following up with dog complaints.
Step 3: Have your dog committee draft a dog policy that's compliant with HR policies. Here are some policy suggestions:
- Set up an interview procedure for prospective office-friendly dogs. If the dog passes the hygiene and behavioral requirements, give the owner a certificate to display on their desk.
- Set accountability rules for dog owners, such as owners being responsible to clean up after their dog's messes. Another – dogs should be accompanied at all times (if the owner has to step away for a meeting, they must designate a dog-babysitter who knows the regulations and can watch the dog when needed).
- Generate an easily-accessible anonymous dog complaint form that's submitted to the Dog Committee.
- Implement a three-strike system. If a dog hits their third strike, have the owner take the dog to behavioral classes, and then attend another interview with the committee before coming back to the office again. Or, if it's just puppy enthusiasm, have them stay at home until they're a bit more mature.
Step 4: Make all doggy-information easily available across the entire company.
- All employees should be aware of the dog rules so that they understand that the pups don't have free run of the office. Employees should know where to go to report a problem and where to read up on doggy-policies.
Keep in mind: having dogs in the office is a privilege, not a right. If employees understand this, they'll respect the dog policy and their fellow workers, and you'll be on your way to successfully having dogs in your office all year-round!

Do you ever miss what someone has said, or find that you don't notice things, or hardly remember what has happened it your day?
What happened? You were blinded!
I have a little test for you. Play the video and take your test.
Did you notice anything? I won't say what it was in case you haven't watched the video.
Can you imagine how many things that you miss out on? And all because you were caught up in your thoughts or on the phone!
It happens to us all. But there is an important side to what I am saying. If I had a penny for every person that comes to see me saying
I didn't have time to do the things you suggested
I never noticed that, or thought about it that way …
Or when I ask about their day, I get a vague answer. It was awful, I was so busy, so stressed.
Yes, I say, but what were you actually doing? I don't know is usually the answer. I was working, at home, looking after the kids.
When I ask, what specifically was so awful about your day, they really don't know and when I pull it apart for them, it usually comes down to what they were thinking about.
To get so stressed or upset, when nothing is actually happening right at that second, requires a sustained amount of effort from your thought processes. Or in other words;
If it is not happening right now, you have to think about something bad to make you feel bad!
When you do this, it takes effort, and you become blind to what is around you. This is important, as maybe what is around you, is not so bad.
What you pay attention to is so important to how you feel. Most of us are out of control. Maybe you never even thought about the fact, that you can choose to control what your mind pays attention to. It's hard at first, but with practice, you can be in the driving seat.
Take for example what you are doing right now. You and I are in a conversation. There is a bit of delay between me writing the words, and when you read them, but we are still communicating. My words might be making you stop and think.
If that is the case, then it is like we are together, as my words, are making you think a little differently.
I want you to try something. Don't look away from what you are reading, sort of stare at the screen.
Without looking away, can you see anything around you, out of the corners of your eyes, your peripheral vision.
Of course you can, but the point I am trying to make is, how aware were you, when you were watching the video, or taking part in our conversation? Probably not aware. You were paying attention to these words, and effectively blinded to what was around you!
That is normal. It is also good, as you would be overloaded with information if you had to pay attention, (the way you did in the video with the numbers) to everything around you. Your brain couldn't hack it.
What I want you take away from our moment together is to question how much of your mind can you control?
Do you think you could learn to pay attention differently? Maybe learn not to focus too much on the things that upset you, and start to try to pay attention to the things that make you feel good?
Drop me a comment below and tell me what you think, or if you have any examples of your own, I'd love to read them!

Each segment is a memory souvenir from a special trip to Italy with my daughter this summer. The first 8 segment memories can be viewed here.
Cut ends are minimized by doing some of the adjacent segments without changing colors. The Magpie Swanky Sock yields a a phenomenal drape and the yarn will flow off your fingers like buttah while knitting. I suggest 2 neutrals and either a variegated or bright contrast color.
Final measurements
18" at deepest part by 72" along neck edge
The pattern was introduced at Stitches South and in the sidebar you can see some color combinations that people bought at the Magpie booth.
Yarn amounts
325 yards main color
280 yards for contrasting color
92 yards for accent color
Shown in Magpie Swanky Sock in Alloy (MC), Storm Front (CC1) and Ultra (accent color)
No fair laughing at the pictures of me. There was a snarky tween taking them while her brother was shooting a water pistol at her ear from the side. If it looks like I'm going to strangle one of them, well, let's just say that is pretty accurate.
