If you'd prefer to live off-campus good, reasonably priced, self-catering rental accommodation can be found close to the campus.

We recently asked our Be Your Own You fans to help us by contributing to our blog, and we received some great entries! We are proud to present our first guest blog, by Brittany Harmon.
It might sound a little cheesy, but do you know how many kids are just waiting to hear those 3 simple words? I've had a friend that I said that to, and she, in return, told me she'd never been told that before. That really breaks my heart. To fix this, we need to show our peers that we love them by spending time with them, investing in a relationship with them. Don't forget to tell them "hey, I love you, you're like a little brother/sister to me. I'm blessed to have you in my life." Those few words can mean the entire world to them.
Kids, teens, and even adults make mistakes. They'll mess up at one point or another in their life. They might hurt you, or hurt someone else, they may do something that they shouldn't have, but how you react to these situations can have a huge impact on them. What they need to hear is "I forgive you. And I still love you." Remind them that messing is okay and that they're human. It's bound to happen!
Being a teen isn't easy, nor is being a kid nowadays. Our peers and young believers need encouragement, both in struggles and in faith. Let's help them continue in their faith because one day, they'll be encouraging someone else.
Love this post. Definitely will be passing it on to my peers!


Elisha Miranda, author of this beautiful spoken word piece, has grown up in a Sword of the Spirit community in California (City on the Hill) and has just spent the past 9 months serving in Lansing, Michigan as part of the Kairos GAP Program. She will be entering college this fall and will be working with her youth group at home as well as trying to start up a UCO chapter in Cali. She often daydreams of fighting crime using her incredible wit and fictional strength, but usually contents herself with watching a good movie or TV show or sitting down and reading a good book.

Atychiphobia is the abnormal, unwarranted, and persistent fear of failure [that] leads to a constricted lifestyle, and is particularly devastating for its effects on a person's willingness to attempt certain activities…Persons afflicted with atychiphobia considers the possibility of failure so intense that they choose not to take the risk.
It's that feeling you get before you write down the first word of that business proposal you've had in mind for years.
It seizes you before you take the first step to restart your educational program.
And you know, it is also that looming sense of dread that approaches as you consider that new Cold Stone® ice cream flavor you've wanted to try but may not live up to your Mud Pie Mojo usual.
It is the fear that time may be wasted, efforts thwarted, or that another five dollars may be thrown away as you seek to change your current circumstances for the better. Who would have thought that such ordinary experiences could hint at an underlying medical condition — Atychiphobia — the fear of failure? Directly translated from the Greek — the fear of the unfortunate (circumstance).
Personally speaking, my perfectionist tendencies coupled with some high-profile failures that I have experienced in the not-so-distant past puts me at a unique risk for such a phobia. The desire to be perfect and the sting of past failures are quite dangerous on their own individual merits. Together, they are particularly deadly to the spirit. Each element feeds off the other for the purposes of stifling the creative spirit and forever relegating one to the congested halls of mediocrity.
One can overcome the fear of failure — no embarrassing trips to the drugstore in your rollers needed. A heaping dose of self-medication is okay here. The following is a prescription I've taken to pick myself up, brush that dirt off my shoulder, and forge ahead.
So, get over it. While in undergrad, I found that the more versions of the rough draft I had before I submitted the final paper, the better the outcome. Of course, this hardly happened because I was seriously engaged in perfecting the craft of "how-to-write-your-term-paper-before-10am-the-next-day." Beyond such fiascos, I quickly learned that your first attempt is not and should not be your best ever. Yes, try your best, but don't let your perfectionist tendencies paralyze you. Even if your first attempt hollers, "Reject!" realize that it's only going to get better. We are all a work in progress — embrace it.
As embarrassing as past failures can be, they are always useful. Take stock of what went wrong, seek advice and commit to learning from the past. Our natural tendency is to conceal our blemishes and white out our mistakes. The danger with such an approach is that we waste the opportunities to benefit from our failures. Additionally, we also deny others the chance to learn from our mistakes. I remain forever indebted to the countless number of women who have dared to bare their past hurts and regrets before me. Failing is an unfortunate fact of life — how you move on from it is what counts.
Many times we think we should wait to do something until we are no longer afraid, but if we did that, we'd probably accomplish very little….
The prospect of writing that business proposal or stepping into that classroom is not going to get any less daunting any time soon. In fact, the more time passes, guaranteed, the more difficult that task is going to get. Come to terms with the fact that many of the exciting things the amazing version of you will undertake are going to seem pretty scary. Accept the reality of fear, but do it anyway.
I know — easier said, sung, or danced than done. Don't take it as a personally if things don't go your way. Yes, it's embarrassing to fail publicly, but some of the strongest black women I have admired are those who are able to arise from the ashes of an awful situation, keep their head up, and press forward. Remember, quitting is never a good look. The beauty of persistence — timeless.
Seeking out such a group, let me add, is not necessarily snobbish. You're looking out for your well-being and potentially adding to that of others. If you find yourself in a barrel of crabs — most likely, you're hater too, relishing the next chance to pull down your fellow crustacean. Associate with those who reach for the unimaginable and those who scorn the notion of quitting. Such people may or may not be in your field of interest. I have found that those not familiar with my field are more likely to bring me back to the reality that there is a life beyond a sucky day on labor and delivery.
None of what I suggested will make you a Beyoncé or whomever else you consider the bastion of all that is flawless and feminine (sorry). Rather, I do believe that putting some of the above into practice — if you haven't already — may bring you closer to that goal of becoming an even more amazing version of (insert-your-name-here). Fear be damned.

From the Trojan Horse to the modern drone, from ninjas to the KGB: join us in exploring the history of spies, information gathering, and covert operations. We'll debate when (if ever) such operations, including industrial espionage and state-sponsored assassinations, are ever justified, and to what extent they have shaped the course of history. From the Crusades to the making of the atom bomb, spies and the organizations that supported them were often unseen, but never unimportant. We'll also sneak forward to the present day to consider the modern surveillance society, in which information gathering has come out of the shadows and even into the skies above us. To what extent should our daily activities, on the Internet and in real life, be tracked and cataloged—by whom, and to what end? And, yes, we'll spend a little time on the likes of James Bond—because fiction can be a useful tool for understanding how people perceive fact.

Theo is no rookie to the food business. In fact, you may recognize him from his other food truck, Pigs in Paradise. Born and raised in Greece, he's always had a passion for cooking Greek food. "Food brings people together - my family has always enjoyed cooking and entertaining others. We always cook for an army and now we want to share our food and traditions with you. We welcome everyone to be a part of our family and indulge in some of Greece's traditional recipes, with our own unique twist."
- Theo Yakoumas
Thomas (the half of the Greek trio), is known for his creativity and flair in the kitchen. When Theo approached him about starting up the food truck, he knew he couldn't pass up the chance to turn one of his favorite hobbies into a career. "The three of us are a funny combo. They're both loud and opinionated, so they needed the help of a half Greek to tone them down in the kitchen. We're excited to share our recipes and let you all experience a taste of Greece, right here in Pittsburgh. We're giving you all the traditional flavors of Greek street food, but better than you've ever had it."
- Thomas Starrett
With a degree in Culinary Arts, and growing up in a Greek family that loves to eat, it has always been Alex's dream to open up a food truck. "Growing up in my family, cooking is just what we did. My dad, mom, sister, and I are always in the kitchen, whether it's at home or volunteering for our church. We grew up in an environment where cooking was fun and something we genuinely enjoyed doing together. We're looking forward to sharing this part of our lives with all of you and bringing everyone a bite (or two) of Greece."

NPR It's Your Health with Lisa Davis Interviews HealthyWomen CEO Beth Battaglino About Colon Cancer Screenings
19 Jun 2018 HealthyWomen in the News
Listen to the interview here
MADISON, WI – A recent survey conducted by HealthyWomen, in collaboration with Exact Sciences, found that women 50 years and older ranked colon[1] cancer as the second-most concerning cancer type after breast cancer. The survey, which analyzed the behaviors of more than 1,000 women, found that although respondents identified colon cancer as a concern, a significant number of those surveyed indicated they had not yet followed recommended guidelines and been screened for colon cancer. Further, of those surveyed who had not been screened, 30 percent said they avoided colon cancer screening because they did not want to have a colonoscopy.
"Even though most women are aware that they should be getting screened for colon cancer, some just don't want to deal with an invasive colonoscopy." said HealthyWomen's CEO and RN, Beth Battaglino. "This survey shows that there is a great need to go from awareness to actually getting the screening done, and the availability of other colon cancer screening options should be discussed and offered during conversations between women and their health care providers."
The American Cancer Society estimates colon cancer will cause more than 23,000 deaths among women this year, making it the third leading cause of cancer deaths among women in the U.S.[i] Early detection is essential because when colon cancer is caught early, 90 percent of all cases are treatable.[ii] Increasing awareness of the different types of screening options available is necessary in order to increase the number of women getting screened for colon cancer.
While many people are familiar with colonoscopy, colon cancer screening guidelines include other options for women over the age of 50 who are at average risk.3 These include multitarget stool DNA test (Cologuard), fecal blood test, CT colonography (also known as a virtual colonoscopy) and sigmoidoscopy. Cologuard, a noninvasive screening test, is included on equal standing among the colon cancer screening options included in the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines.3
Additional highlights from the survey include:
• Of the women who said their health care providers recommended colon cancer screening, only 30 percent said their provider discussed more than one screening option.
• 48 percent of women surveyed had not heard of Cologuard but once told what it was, 63 percent said they would be very likely to use the test.
The American Cancer Society recommends colon cancer screening for men and women of average risk for developing colon cancer starting at age 50, in order to detect, and even prevent, colon cancer.[iii] Women are encouraged to talk to their health care providers to determine what colon screening option may work best. To get more information, women can visit www.new50.com, an educational resource made available by Exact Sciences that aims to encourage people 50 and older to talk with their health care provider about colon cancer screening, including the modern, noninvasive options that meet the needs of the current generation.

About Exact Sciences Corp. and Cologuard:
Exact Sciences Corp. is a leading molecular diagnostic company and the maker of Cologuard, a noninvasive screening test for people age 50 and older with average risk for colon cancer. Included among recommended colon cancer screening options by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines, Cologuard is the only FDA-approved test of its kind that uses advanced technology to detect changes in stool DNA that can indicate precancer and cancer.[iv],[v]
Cologuard was approved by the FDA in August 2014 and results from Exact Sciences' prospective 90-site, point-in-time, 10,000-patient pivotal trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2014. Cologuard is included in the American Cancer Society's (2014) colorectal cancer screening guidelines and the recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2016) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (2016).
Cologuard is intended for the qualitative detection of colorectal neoplasia associated DNA markers and for the presence of occult hemoglobin in human stool. A positive result may indicate the presence of colorectal cancer (CRC) or advanced adenoma (AA) and should be followed by diagnostic colonoscopy.
Cologuard is indicated to screen adults of either sex, 50 years or older, who are at typical average-risk for CRC. Cologuard is not for everyone; not for high risk individuals, including those with a family history of colorectal cancer, a personal history of colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma, IBD and certain hereditary syndromes. Positive Cologuard results should be referred to diagnostic colonoscopy. A negative Cologuard test result does not guarantee absence of cancer or advanced adenoma. Following a negative result, patients should continue participating in a screening program at an interval and with a method appropriate for the individual patient. Cologuard performance when used for repeat testing has not been evaluated or established. Rx only.

Should I use VPS hosting?
To run some programs which can't be hosted on shared, such as Java applications, executable programs, and NodeJS scripts, you need to consider VPS. Besides, if the website's traffic is huge and shared hosting can't offer sufficient resources, you'd better get a VPS. Choosing a suitable VPS plan is very important. We cannot say VPS is better than shared at any time. As VPS has own operating system, the factors impact its resource consumption are different from shared hosting's.

It is indeed welcome news to the outside world that the Ebola Virus Disease which devastated Liberia, bringing her to her knees, is now virtually wiped out of the country with the last confirmed patient's death more than three weeks ago.As Liberians retrospect on last year, many are expressing thanks to local health authorities and caregivers, and especially the international community, including medical organizations and individuals, who came to Liberia's defense to help defeat the deadly virus.Several institutions highly grateful for the level of support received from their international partners are health care facilities in Lofa County, specifically the Foya-Borma Hospital, which, during the heat of the crisis, benefited from a donation of a 40-foot container of Ebola specific logistics relief supplies and medical equipment from three US-based organizations.The Container Project was an initiative of the Friends of Foya-Borma Hospital (FOFBH) of Indiana, in collaboration with the Association of Citizens and Friends of Liberia (ACFLi) of Sacramento, California and the Liberian Association of Northern California (LANC). The relief supplies and medical equipment were valued at US$200,000.The Administrator of Foya-Borma Hospital, Mr. Francis Forndia, and the administrators of the other healthcare facilities in Lofa County thanked the funding organizations, FOFBH, ACFLi, LANC, and other contributors.In an interview with the Daily Observer's Health Desk, Mr. Forndia said, "This donation could not have come at any better time. We were devastated and we needed help. Our county, being the epicenter of the crisis, was in desperate need of assistance. And we will remain forever grateful to our brothers and sisters, who saw the need to identify with us when we were confused and distressed."The Foya-Borma Hospital Administrator also lauded MedShare, a leading US medical supply recovery organization, which has its headquarters in San Leandro, California; the United Parcel Services (UPS), which provided the transportation for the shipment of the container to Foya, and the Permanente Group of Central Valley, California, which provided funding for the project."We really want to say a 'Big Thank You' to all these people. Their help was very instrumental in finally controlling and eradicating the virus from this county," he said, adding that "additional funding was also provided by various members of the above organizations, friends as well as business organizations."Mr. Forndia disclosed that the container project was the "dream come true" of Dr. Mary Zozulin, an Ob-GYN in Waterbury, Connecticut, who worked at the Foya-Borma Hospital. "This Lady was actually one of those who initiated the entire process," Forndia added.Dr. Zozulin had gone to Foya because her daughter, Kristen, was assigned there as a Peace Corp Volunteer. Dr. Zozulin and her daughter were forced to leave Liberia as a result of the outbreak of the Ebola epidemic. This was after the virus had taken the lives of five healthcare workers at the hospital. They included three nurses, a nurse's aide and a laboratory aid.Upon her return to the USA, Dr. Zozulin felt the need to help the people of Foya. She got in touch with FOFBH to help coordinate a medical supply shipment for the people of Lofa. With her help they filed an application with MedShare for medical supplies for the hospital.At the same time in Sacramento, California, ACFLi had established the "Kick Ebola out of Liberia," campaign. Along with LANC, the two organizations initiated a fund drive to send Ebola-related medical supplies to the epicenter of the virus, which coincidentally happened to be Foya, Lofa County. When they approached MedShare, through Mr. Andrew Pines, the Executive Director, he informed them about an initiative by another organization, FOFBH, which had undergone a complete application process but was constrained by limited funding. Mr. Pines suggested that they could collaborate and provide the necessary funding in time so that they could all take advantage of an Emergency Ebola Shipment available only to Liberia. This was the beginning of the joint venture between FOFBH, ACFLi and LANC.Although the donation was intended directly for Foya-Borma Hospital, several other health care facilities in the county benefitted substantially. The other health care facilities that benefited from this generosity are Telewoyen Hospital in Voinjama, Kolahun Health Facility, the Currant Lutheran Hospital in Zorzor and the Yekpedu Clinic. Others are Limgbamba Clinic, Foya Tangia, Gbemah Clinic, Worsornga Clinic, Solormba Clinic, Shelloe Clinic and Mendekorma Clinic."We alone could not use all those medical supplies, therefore, along with the other county authorities we decided to distribute some of the medical supplies to the other health centers in the county. These were highly appreciated because they too were in dire need," Forndia stated.He lauded Lofa County Superintendent George Dunor and the County Health Officer (CHO), Dr. Josephus Bolongei, for their efforts in getting the container to Liberia and subsequently, to the intended destination of Lofa County.These gentlemen played a pivotal role in ensuring that the Container Project became a local and international success story. They provided the necessary guarantee to the donor agencies, that they would obtain all duty-free privileges and that the Container would be received and delivered to the Foya-Borma Hospital at no additional cost to the donor agency. They, along with the Foya-Borma Hospital Administrator, Forndia, worked assiduously in making sure that the container reached Foya in a timely and secure manner especially during the Ebola crisis.Forndia noted that the success of this project proves that Liberian organizations can indeed collaborate, and be reliable, successful and in the end make a difference when it comes to the welfare of the Liberian people.Some of those who worked very hard to make the project a success, according to Mr. Forndia, include Narwale Washington-Agborsangaya, President of ACFLi and Chairlady of Keep Ebola out of Liberia Campaign, Sam Koaloe, ACFLi Board Chairman, J. Mwah Polson, Senior Advisor to the President; James King, Advisor to the President on Logistics; and, Dr. Goffa Beh, Advisor to the President on Medical Affairs.Others were Paul Boakai, the President of LANC, Zoe Butcher-Washington, Chairlady of the Board of Directors of LANC, the president, secretary and treasurer of FOFBH, Dr. Nathaniel Samba, James F. Salifu and Mr. Sahr A. A. Nyorkor respectively. Members of the Board of Directors for FOBH are William S. Kamanda, MD, Daniel Saah MD, Mr. Henry Hali, and Mr. Saah Kanda."We are indeed grateful, and fully acknowledge the untiring efforts of all the people and organizations here named and unnamed that contributed directly and indirectly to the successful and total eradication of the national tragedy and crisis called EBOLA from our dear Homeland Liberia over the last one year," said Forndia.Shelloe Clinic, one of the local clinics, which received some of the donated items, has a catchment of 6,574. The Officer in Charge, Mr. Jallah K. Baysah, said, "This is true love. We are very grateful to the donors that came through Foya-Borma Hospital. We receive in good faith and will use the donations for the health of our people. Freely we have received and freely we will give."Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more
Britons feared for their lives

LONDON – Their greatest scare, they recalled, came on the second day, when they were flown to Tehran and backed up against a prison wall while their Iranian captors fiddled with weapons, cocking rifles to make them fear for their lives. "We thought we were going to the British Embassy but we got taken to a detention center," said Royal Marine Joe Tindell, 21, one of 15 British sailors and marines seized by Iranian Revolutionary Guards in disputed waters in the Persian Gulf on March 23. There, the mood turned drastically, as their captors changed from military dress into all black, their faces covered. "We had a blindfold and plastic cuffs, hands behind our backs, heads against the wall," Tindell said in an interview with the BBC. "Someone, I'm not sure who, someone said, I quote, `Lads, lads, I think we're going to get executed.' "After that comment someone was sick, and as far as I was concerned he had just had his throat cut. From there we were rushed to a room, quick photo, and then stuffed into a cell and didn't see or speak to anyone for six days." It was the beginning of days of psychological pressure that would ultimately extract televised "confessions" from some of the Britons that they had strayed into Iranian waters. The admissions tempered for some the joy at their safe return home to their families, with some military analysts expressing dismay that the sailors and marines had capitulated to their captor's demands. "It was highly damaging that all of them apologized publicly for something they had not done," said Max Hastings, a military historian and former newspaper editor, in a BBC radio interview Friday, comparing the Britons unfavorably to American pilots who withstood much crueler treatment in North Vietnam for much longer. But the captives defended their decision to play along with their captors, saying they were subjected to a determined campaign of psychological intimidation. They were separated, stripped, put in pajamas and placed in small stone cells in complete isolation – not permitted even a whispered word with a fellow captive, they said. The lone woman among them was tricked into believing the men had all been released. "There was a lot of trickery, and mind games being played," Lt. Felix Carman, 26, of the Royal Navy, said when six of the Britons, freed two days ago, appeared at a news conference Friday to chronicle for the first time in public a 14-day ordeal that began, by their account, when Iranian Revolutionary Guards apprehended them in Iraqi waters, executing what seemed a planned and heavily armed ambush. "We were interrogated most nights, and presented with two options," Carman said. "If we admitted we had strayed, we would be on a plane back to the UK soon. If we didn't we faced up to seven years in prison." None of them was told that, in the world outside, their incarceration had become a test of British and Iranian wills in which Iran depicted itself as a magnanimous victor – what President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran on Thursday called a "gift" to Britain. The news conference Friday at a Royal Marines base at Chivenor, southwestern England, seemed intended as much to deny Iran's depiction of the episode as to allow the sailors and marines a chance to recant what Iran called their confessions of guilt. Yet, just as Britain had called their televised "confessions" stage-managed, the Iranian authorities dismissed Friday's news conference as a propaganda exercise that did nothing to exonerate the British forces. "Transferring the sailors to military bases immediately after their arrival, dictating to them their orders and the planned coverage of the press conference by British and American media cannot change the documents that show the sailors had entered the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran," a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Mohammad Ali Hosseini, said in a statement. But Iran received its share of criticism at home, as well. The reformist daily Etemad faulted the government for not milking the crisis for greater diplomatic advantage, particularly in gaining the release of Iranians held in Iraq. "Maybe Iran could get some advantages during the talks and end its complicated problems with the other side," the daily wrote in a column on Thursday. Another reformist daily, Aftab-e-Yazd, criticized the government's timing, saying that if it was planning to release the Britons, it should have done so earlier instead of immediately after a warning from Prime Minister Tony Blair. The haste with which British authorities arranged the news conference suggested they wanted to deny Iran the propaganda victory it sought from releasing the British personnel, who indeed affirmed Friday that they had been in Iraqi, not Iranian waters. "I can clearly state that we were 1.7 nautical miles from Iranian waters," Carman said. Reading from a written statement, Carman and Royal Marine Capt. Chris Air, 25, described how two Iranian speedboats closed on two British inflatable patrol boats after the personnel had boarded an Indian-flagged vessel, seeking contraband. Theirs was the first direct explanation of why the Britons did not resist capture. "Some of the Iranian sailors were becoming deliberately aggressive and unstable," Air said. "They rammed our boat and trained their heavy machine guns, RPGs and weapons on us. Another six boats were closing in on us," he said, referring to rocket-propelled grenades by their acronym. "We realized that our efforts to reason with these people were not making any headway. Nor were we able to calm some of the individuals down. "It was at this point that we realized that had we resisted there would have been a major fight, one we could not have won, with consequences that would have had major strategic impact. We made a conscious decision to not engage the Iranians and do as they asked. They boarded our boats, removed our weapons and steered the boats towards the Iranian shore." "Let me be absolutely clear," Air said. "From the outset it was very apparent that fighting back was simply not an option. Had we chosen to do so then many of us would not be standing here today. Of that I have no doubts." 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You're all set!

Forget dogs and cats. The most pampered pets of the moment might be our backyard chickens
Gene Sloan
When it came time to decorate the new Amish-built house on her 26-acre property near Lansing, Michigan, Danielle Raad went all out.
She painted the interior walls a lustrous eggshell blue, and spent hours hand-stenciling one with an intricate pattern. She lined rooms with handmade art, including her own work and that of her kids. She brought in vintage objects such as a chandelier and a painted shelf. Her mother added items covered in decoupaged roses.
Raad put her father in charge of prettying up the outside, which features barn-red siding, white picket fencing, flower boxes and a scarecrow.
Eventually Raad, 35, had the house just right, and it was ready to be occupied. But two years later, she still hasn't spent the night in it – and she doesn't plan to.
It was for her chickens.
"We just decided that if we're going to do it, we're going to do it all the way," Raad says. She originally planned a flock of 10 chickens for her backyard hen house. She now keeps 23.
Call them the most pampered chickens in central Michigan. In addition to a home that is more HGTV than Animal Planet, Raad's hens (and a few roosters) get top-notch health care from a local veterinarian and a well-balanced diet. Their living quarters are sprayed regularly with a soothing mix of essential oils including lavender, tea tree and eucalyptus.
"They're spoiled," Raad suggests.
Hers are not the only feathery fowl living the high life. The backyard chicken movement that has taken hold across America in recent years is entering a new phase: Owners are pampering the birds as if they were, you know, dogs or something.
Chicken keepers are building ever more elaborate and comfortable coops, plying their feathered friends with gourmet treats and dressing them up in designer outfits.
Some even are bringing the birds into their own homes.
"Some of these chickens live better than we do," Steph Merkle jokes, sort of. She's been following the trend from her perch atop Backyard Poultry, a magazine that caters to the chickeny set.
Not everyone is on board. Some chicken-keeping purists find the over-the-top pampering a bit silly. And public health officials are warning poultry fans that getting too cozy with the little cluckers isn't a great idea.
But Americans have begun treating their fowl more like pets than livestock. And just as with our beloved cats and dogs, nothing is too much for our little Foghorn Leghorns.
"We're seeing coops with chandeliers, artwork, painted ladder roosting bars and hand-made curtains for nesting boxes," Merkle says.
"It's sort of like a Martha Stewart thing. People are trying to have the most beautiful coop."
It's a far cry – or should we say crow – from just a few years ago.
The backyard chicken movement evolved out of the modern homesteading movement, which prizes self-reliance and self-sufficiency in food production. Early adopters were in it mostly for the eggs and, yes, the meat.
Backyard Poultry itself was a spin-off from modern homesteading magazine Countryside & Small Stock Journal, which Merkle also oversees. When Backyard Poultry launched in 2006, Merkle notes, it was full of graphic tutorials on butchering and plucking. Images of chickens with their heads cut off were not unusual.
But then a funny thing happened out back: One by one, the little balls of fluff began winning our hearts. Soon they weren't just anonymous livestock headed for the dinner table. They were members of the family.
"People began naming their chickens," Merkle says. "It's hard to eat an animal that has a name."
Now Backyard Poultry runs spreads on how to grow herbal treats for your chickens in winter and ways to keep them happy when you go on vacation without them.
The stories on preparing your chickens for a meal have all but disappeared.

More:Books tell how to raise a happy, healthy flock of chickens
Lisa Steele was an early bird to the movement. The Bangor, Maine, woman has watched it take flight.
"It's changed a lot over the past 10 years," she says.
Steele fell so hard for her own flock that she started a Facebook page devoted to it in 2011. A year later, she began blogging about backyard chickens, and by 2013, she had written her first book on the topic.
She's now a leading voice of the movement, with five books in print and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. She documents her chicken-raising life and offers tips for chicken owners atFreshEggsDaily.com.
"People ... wanted to raise their own food and be more comfortable about where it came from," Steele says. "But along the way they realized they do make good pets."
Steele is tapping into the chicken-pampering trend with her latest book: 101 Chicken Hacks from Fresh Eggs Daily: Tips, Tricks and Ideas for You and Your Hens. She offers advice on how to make homemade treats and snacks for your chickens and how to dress them up in tutus.
That's "where a lot of the interest lies," she says. "My chickens actually do have tutus. And I think they feel pretty when they wear them."
Chickens-as-pets has gotten a boost from social media, where chicken fans increasingly are competing to post the most glamorous chicken shots.
Instagrammers such as Kate Richards, whose @drinkingwithchickens page has nearly 50,000 followers, post highly staged, highly produced images showing their birds living the high life. One recent post showed two chickens lounging with cocktails (get it?) on a luxuriously pillowed sofa while a third chicken snapped their photo.
Celebrities are making it look cool.
Jennifer Garner recently posted video of herself on Instagram walking one of her chickens on a leash and sitting by it reading. Chris Pratt's most recent chicken-related post was a luscious shot of his chickens' brown and green eggs.
"Straight up livin' that #farmlife," the Guardian of the Galaxy wrote.
An industry is growing. Startups such as pamperyourpoultry.com sell chicken dresses and tutus, colorful, hand-sewn diapers for chickens (should you want to bring them into the house), and "saddles," which are like capes that go on a chicken's back.
Fowl Play Products sells swing sets for chickens. Happy Hen Treats has begun marketing a "Cake 'N Cluck" cake mix for those who "want to make chicken's birthday extra special."
In 2012, Scratch and Feed became the first feed manufacturer in America to make all Non-GMO Project Verified feed for chickens, and now all of its feeds, supplements and treats are Certified Organic, too.
Scratch and Peck offers "organic coop confetti," a colorful bouquet of aromatic, organic herbs and edible flowers that the company says will make your chicken's nesting area "a calm, fresh smelling, and restful place to lay their eggs."
Sewickly, Pennsylvania-based Coop Tender sells Internet-enabled automatic chicken coop doors that can be opened and closed from anywhere in the world via an app. Other firms tout new solar-powered lighting systems for coops, heating systems to keep chicken water from freezing, video camera systems that allow owners to check on their beloved birds remotely and motion-sensing alarm systems that protect chickens from predators.
The rural lifestyle retail giant Tractor Supply now hosts multi-week Chick Days events in both the spring and fall with live chicks for sale as well as an expanded lineup of coops, feeds and other accessories.
The company has added live chicks to its website year-round – 10 Rhode Island Red roosters go for $14.99; 10 hens cost $20 more – and expanded its online offerings of chicken treats and other products.
"The customer excitement is what drove us," says Tiffany Denter, a buyer on the Tractor Supply merchandising team that handles poultry supplies. "It's a trend that's definitely on the rise."
Fanciful coops are at the center of the movement. Social media increasingly is loaded with images of coops built to resemble western saloons, vintage cars, tractors, medieval castles, streamlined modern dwellings.
But just as fanciful are some of the chickens themselves. A trend-within-the-trend is a move toward ever more rare and unusual "designer" cross breeds – such as the Blue Easter Eggers developed and sold by My Pet Chicken, which have a blueish color and lay green eggs.
My Pet Chicken also sells proprietary Olive Eggers, which lay olive-shaded eggs, and the Blue Favaucana, which has a striking, blue hawk-like appearance and lays sage-green eggs.
My Pet Chicken CEO Traci Torres says the company this year can't keep the more unusual breeds in stock. Nearly its entire supply of Olive Eggers expected in-house through the end of 2019 has been presold, she says. Ditto for some other rare breeds.
Torres and her husband launched Monroe, Connecticut-based My Pet Chicken in 2006 after finding almost no online resources while starting up their own backyard chicken coop.
She says business has soared in recent years due in no small part to the poultry-as-pets trend. My Pet Chicken now has 30 employees and millions of dollars in sales.
The company sells thousands of chicken diapers. They're marketed for injured hens who need to recuperate indoors, and broody hens that are brought inside to "break" their broodiness. But many people are buying them to bring chickens indoors just to hang out.
"Some people have chickens sleep in bed with them," Torres says. "Of course, you have to be careful with germs just like with any animal."
Indeed, some think the move toward chickens going "full dog" is a little cuckoo.
FreshEggsDaily.com's Steele says she draws a hard line at letting flocks into the home. She notes the risk of bringing in poultry-borne pathogens such as salmonella.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been telling backyard chicken owners that the animals should stay out of the home – and it's best to refrain from kissing or snuggling them.
The CDC warns that children under 5, adults over 65 and people with weakened immune systems shouldn't be handling live poultry at all.
For households with people in those categories, CDC epidemiologist Megin Nichols says, "owning backyard poultry might not be the right choice."
Nichols, a veterinarian, oversees the agency's investigations of salmonella and E. Coli from exposure to animals and pet products.
She cites the risk of salmonella, a pathogen found in poultry that can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever, in some cases severe enough to lead to hospitalization.
The number of outbreaks of salmonella associated with backyard chickens has risen in recent years with backyard chicken ownership. The CDC linked 10 outbreaks of the illness nationwide last year to backyard chickens, up from 4 in 2015. There was an average of 3.8 outbreaks a year associated with backyard chickens over the preceding decade.
The CDC recorded 1,120 cases of salmonella associated with backyard chickens in 2017, up from 895 in 2016. But for every case of salmonella reported to the agency, Nichols says, studies show 29 more go unreported. She says the actual number of Americans getting sick as a result of backyard chickens in 2017 was probably closer to 30,000.
Salmonella related to backyard chickens still accounted for just a tiny portion of the 1.2 million cases the CDC estimates in America each year.
Still, at least one public health researcher is suggesting municipalities tighten rules surrounding backyard chickens.
Catherine Brinkley, a veterinarian and urban planner at the University of California, Davis, studied poultry ordinances in Colorado and found that more municipalities had passed or modified poultry ordinances in the past 5 years than in the preceding 100. But most of the ordinances were aimed at limiting nuisances such as rooster noise, not safeguarding public health.
In a paper published this year in the Journal of Community Health, Brinkley said ordinances "inadequately address both human and animal health and welfare concerns. Provisions governing animal slaughter and routine veterinary care are rare, presenting a concern for monitoring and intervening in public health crises."
Brinkley suggested municipalities regulate vaccinations, manure management and general animal welfare for backyard chickens as they do for commercial chicken farms.
Nichols says backyard chicken owners can greatly reduce the chance of salmonella infection by taking just a few simple precautions.
In addition to keeping chickens out of the house and resisting the urge to snuggle them, they can wash their hands after contact and set aside a pair of shoes specifically for chicken care. Those shoes then should never be worn in the house.
Nichols says the agency sees cases in which "people wear their shoes or boots into the chicken coop to collect eggs and then wear them into the house across the carpet where the baby is crawling," transferring salmonella to the child.
Young children are the vulnerable link in salmonella among backyard chickens, Nichols says. Children under five account for "far and away" the largest percentage of all salmonella cases associated with backyard chickens, she says, which is why the CDC advises keeping that age group away from flocks.
"We know these kids might not have the best hand-washing (skills), might not have supervised hand-washing and also are more likely to put their hands in their mouths," Nichols says.
Newcomers to backyard chickens account for another significant portion of salmonella cases, Nichols says: "It may be they're unaware of the risks," and ways to mitigate them.
The good news, Nichols says, is that the CDC's outreach efforts over the past year, which include working with hatcheries and retail outlets that cater to backyard chicken owners, appear to be having an impact.
As of September, the agency had recorded 334 cases of salmonella attributable to backyard chickens for the year – a sharp drop from 2017 levels.
Nichols says the CDC doesn't want to discourage people from keeping chickens, which she calls "a really fun, rewarding experience."
"It's really a great opportunity for people to learn a little bit more about agriculture in their backyard and to learn about where their food comes from," she says. "We want people to be able to own backyard poultry and still be able to keep their family healthy."
The chance for her kids to learn about agriculture and where their food comes from was a big reason Raad decided to add chickens and other animals to her property two years ago. She was raised around animals.
"I wanted my kids to grow up with that sort of rural country living," says Raad, who lives with her husband and two daughters, ages 11 and 9.
The Raads named their coop "The Breakfast Club," after both the 1980s movie and the eggs the chickens supply. Small paintings of "The Breakfast Club" movie characters by Raad's older daughter, Giselle, line one wall.
But the two-room structure also offers an eclectic mix of unrelated decorative items: Russian nesting dolls, a Hawaiian hula doll, a vintage horseshoe and an antique bird cage. The nesting boxes for the chickens are made from reclaimed barn wood and attached to an antique ladder.
"It's just an expression of our style," Raad says. "And my mom says I own a lot of stuff, and I needed somewhere to put it."
Raad says she definitely thinks of her chickens as pets, not livestock. She says she would never think of killing one to eat.
"They are all individuals. They all have different personalities. They all have a name."
Raad also has added goats and rabbits to her property over the past two years. She's recently started keeping honey bees and hatching monarch butterflies. She already had several miniature horses.
It's a classic case of what industry watchers say is a slippery slope.
"We like to joke that chickens are the gateway drug," says Merkle, of Backyard Poultry.
She got her first chickens six years ago. Now, she says, "we're getting bees in the spring and goats probably in the spring as well."
"Chickens is where we started. So be warned."

Announcing Angela Hodges as Wiley Middle School Principal
Jul 16, 2020 | New Hires, WMS
The Home of the Coyotes has a new leader of the pack. Angela Hodges will become the new principal at Wiley Middle School. Hodges comes to the campus from Steiner Ranch Elementary where she was principal. The Leander ISD Board of Trustees approved the hiring at Thursday night's board meeting.
"I am pleased to announce that Angela Hodges has accepted the position as the new principal for Wiley Middle School," LISD Superintendent Bruce Gearing, Ed.D. said. "Angela is an inclusive leader who values everyone's voice and will partner with students, staff, parents, and community to create a positive learning environment for all at Wiley MS. Her experience as a principal and her knowledge of instructional practices will build upon the incredible culture already established at Wiley MS. Angela's ability to build relationships and design systems focused on helping all students achieve their potential makes her the perfect leader for Wiley MS."
Hodges has led Steiner Ranch Elementary as principal for the last two years. During that time, she contributed to many LISD continuous improvement committees such as Student Learning Objectives, the Diversity & Equity Task Force and Programs for Advancement, Challenge, and Enrichment (PACE). She came to LISD with administrative experience as a principal and assistant principal in Pflugerville ISD where she attended Aspiring Leaders Academy–a 3-month program dedicated to the professional development of campus leaders. Hodges established roots in education as an elementary school teacher, eventually becoming an instructional coach.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to join Wiley Middle School," Hodges said. "I am looking forward to being a part of a community of staff, families and students who are clearly dedicated to an exceptional school experience!"
After graduating from Louisiana State University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education, Hodges went on to complete her master's in educational leadership at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Hodges will replace Brandon Evans who was named Executive Director of Campus Support last month. Hodges will transition to her new role at Wiley MS once Steiner Ranch Elementary finds a new principal.

Organic agriculture is likely one of the first things that come to mind when considering a sustainable food future, but emerging news would suggest that it is the laboratory — not the fields — where the sustainable food revolution is taking form.
Billions of people around the world rely on fish for protein, but unsustainable fishing practices over the last 50 years have driven many fish stocks to the point of collapse. According to the World Wildlife Fund, over 85 percent of the world's fisheries have been pushed to or beyond their biological limits.
Finless Foods, a California-based biotech startup, has created a potential solution to the overfishing problem — lab-grown fish fillets. By combining well-established and cutting-edge cell culture techniques, a small sample of cells from a living marine animal is cultured and structured in a brewery-like environment in the shape of a fish fillet. The process takes several months to complete, but the end product could provide a cost-effective, healthy and sustainable alternative to conventionally caught and commercially farmed seafood that features the same texture and appearance of real fish meat.
Unlike commercial fish farming, Finless Foods' process requires no antibiotics, hormones or harmful chemicals and delivers only the part of the fish that consumers want to eat.
The startup is currently focusing on recreating Bluefin Tuna, due to the high demand for the fish. While the process and product are still in development, Finless Foods hopes to bring its lab-grown fish fillets to market within the next two years.
The concept seems like something straight out of a science fiction novel, but it could play an instrumental role in restoring the delicate balance of our oceans' ecosystems, while providing a viable solution for feeding a rapidly expanding global population. However, it will first need to overcome consumers' hesitations about the product.
Finless Foods isn't the only company testing the viability of lab-grown meat. Hampton Creek — known for its vegan mayonnaise — and California startup Memphis Meats are also trying their hands at creating "clean meat." The companies are focusing on developing lab-grown poultry, which they expect will be ready for market between 2018 and 2021.
Meanwhile, a new study from a team of researchers from four American universities has revealed that making one simple change in American eating habits could help the US almost immediately realize around 50 to 75 percent of its greenhouse gas reduction targets for the year 2020.
Headed by Loma Linda University researcher Helen Harwatt, PhD, the 10-page paper suggests that substituting legumes for beef — the most GHG-intensive food to produce — would result in one-fortieth the amount of GHG emissions. What's more, the study finds that beef production is an inefficient use of agricultural land. According to the findings, substituting beans for beef would free up to 42 percent of US cropland currently under cultivation — a total of 400 million square acres or approximately 1.6 times the size of the state of California.
"Given the novelty, we would expect that the study will be useful in demonstrating just how much of an impact changes in food production can make and increase the utility of such options in climate-change policy," Harwatt said.
In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, Substituting Beans for Beef as a Contribution Towards U.S. Climate Change Targets concluded that shifting from animal-sourced to plant-sourced foods alone could help mitigate global temperature rise. According to Joan Sabate, MD, DrPH, Executive Director of the Center for Nutrition, Healthy Lifestyle and Disease Prevention at LLU School of Public Health and one of the study's authors, the US could hit its reduction goals without having to impose any new standards on automobiles or manufacturing if Americans consumers significantly reduced their consumption of meat.
The study's findings echo those presented by the World Resources Institute early last year. The organization has long asserted that meat and dairy production puts significant pressure on land, water and climate and its Shifting Diets for a Sustainable Food Future suggested that by just eating less meat and dairy, the average American could cut their diet-related environmental impacts by nearly half.
Approximately one-third of American consumers are currently purchasing meat alternatives — plant-based products that resemble animal products in taste and texture. Harwatt says the growing trend suggests that animal-sourced meat is no longer a necessity.
