Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny six-pound dog named Alistair who is looking for his forever home.

Kansas City, MO

Kansas City, Missouri (not to be confused with the other Kansas City, which is right across the border in Kansas), is not a place you typically think of in the same way that you think about Paris, France. Most people around the world could likely name a famous landmark (or two or three) in Paris; the same can't be said for Kansas City. And French cuisine, which comes with its own set of unspoken rules, is known for being elevated and refined, while Kansas City barbecue is almost inherently messy. On the surface, the two cities couldn't seem more different; however, Kansas City was actually once called the "Paris of the Plains," and it continues to have a thriving nightlife scene with fantastic places for dancing, dining, and drinking, helping the city continue to live up to its nickname.

The Bee Gees, commenced a tumultuous romance with actress Victoria Principle, who played Pam Ewing on Dallas, TV's then-Number 1 prime-time series. But after the relationship ended, Andy's life, already challenged by substance abuse, did as well. This is their tragic story.

It's been over twenty-five years since actor/photographer Roddy McDowall died of lung cancer in 1998. McDowall, despite some career challenges, was one of that breed of rare former child actors who successfully transitioned into Hollywood adulthood. He was also, however, one of the industry's "openly closeted" actors, which came with its own sense of issues. This is his story.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016.

In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.

Hawaii State

Makawao, HI

About an hour inland from the stunning beaches that line Maui's western shore, there's a place where locals trade in board shorts for jeans and ride horses, not surfboards. Located almost 1,600 feet above sea level, Makawao is an unexpected find on the Hawaiian island known for sun, sand, and surf. And while its ancient history has roots in Polynesian culture, its very existence today is the result of a coming together of cultures and traditions from around the world; a merging that produced an unexpectedly diverse community on a tropical island smack-dab in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

When it comes to travel, nothing beats the sweet satisfaction of scoring something for free. Securing a free upgrade to a first-class cabin? Yes, please. Snagging all the fun freebies from the hotel lobby? Absolutely. Free rounds of margaritas on your cruise? Obviously. But some freebies, like getting into airport lounges, are a bit trickier to come by. Think of the lounges as the cool kid's table — exclusive and generally off-limits unless you tick all the right boxes. But don't worry, there are ways to slip in without shelling out a small fortune — or any money at all.
