There is magic within each one of us. A magic so powerful it can change the world. The problem is that humanity, as a general rule, has forgotten its magic. Instead, it has been put into a tiny box and pushed aside to make room for other concerns that we adopted in the name of becoming an adult.
Some magical beings on Earth have remembered this gift. We look up to them; we marvel at their wisdom, the depth of their love. We listen to their words with wonder, thinking, how do they do this? Love is the magic they are wielding. I am not speaking of romantic love, the tiny box our consciousness has used to push aside the depth of meaning in the word love. I am speaking about true, unconditional love.
Conditional, Romantic Love
In our society, romantic love is based on bartering; it is conditional. I will love you; if you meet my needs. I give it to you to receive it from you. I had fallen into this trap, assigning conditions to my love, being disappointed, and withdrawing love when my needs were unmet. I came from this perspective for one reason- I did not love myself enough to be open to unconditional love. It wasn’t a safe option for me. My ego thought I needed to protect my heart.
This need to protect my heart was an illusion, a shadow based on my perception of events in my life. Over the years, as I dismissed and shut down my emotions, a wall was built around my heart. My subconscious erected this protective wall with the intent of keeping me safe. But the wall also did not allow me to give or receive love truly.
It takes a committed effort to break down those walls. Those interested in opening their heart more can intend to speak from their heart in all interactions. They can also strive for a perspective shift. If I believe that everyone is on my side, that everyone is acting in my best interest, even if it hurts me, I can respond from a place of love. When I choose to forgive, without setting an expectation of reciprocation, I free my heart from stored pain. Lastly, when I find a space of gratitude within, my heart opened immensely.
Taking the steps above can be difficult; many shrink from it in fear of opening themselves to more hurt. Processing emotions and shifting perspective is a life-long endeavor rather than a quick fix. But, those brave enough to try can find the gold at the end of the rainbow. By setting intention, forgiving, shifting perspective, and being in gratitude, I have finally achieved self-love.
The Gift of Self-Love
Hopefully, as you will discover, you can truly love others through the love of yourself. Self-love happens when you have filled all of the holes in your heart through processing your emotions, clearing the negative energy. You don’t have to do this alone; there is an entire industry of people eager to help you along this path.
At this point in my life, I am choosing unconditional love, an aspect of Christ-consciousness that resides within my heart. This love, this magic, is within each of us! Those who have forgotten this aspect of their heart still have the magic; it is hidden behind walls erected by their subconscious to provide safety. Unfortunately, this safe wall is actually the barrier that keeps them from remembering the depth of true, unconditional, Christ-like love that dwells within.
Unconditional Christ-like love is accepting that everyone is acting in love. It is a release of judgment, for if every action is an act of love, how can we stand in judgment? It accepts everyone for where they are, with no expectation of change, with no need to teach them. It is in being able to see your greatness, with the understanding that you are better than none. Everyone has greatness within. Everyone has magic within.
Unconditional love sees the spark of the divine, the immense value, in each person walking this Earth. How deep can you love?
May you be blessed!

It all starts at home: Houma area gathering takes a stand against violent crime
Houma Police Chief Dana Coleman said when he visits his childhood neighborhood wearing his badge, he sometimes gets a cold reception.
After Coleman was appointed as Houma’s first Black police chief seven years ago, he said his community began to view him differently.
“I can go where I grew up in Mechanicville and a door would be closed in my face,” he said. “But I can show up without that uniform and be welcomed. It’s heartbreaking that as a police chief, 85% to 90% of the violent cases that I’ve had my hands on involve victims and suspects that look like me. In law enforcement, we handle complaints, but we need help from the community as well.”
Coleman was one of several speakers during a town hall meeting Saturday in Gray addressing violent crimes affecting Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
Organized by Terrebonne Councilman Carl Harding, the Unity in the Community gathering aimed to “raise awareness and promote prevention, encourage community engagement and foster meaning partnerships” to battle crime.
The forum included presentations from law-enforcement officials in Terrebonne and Lafourche, community leaders and local attorneys who all share the same goal to reduce crime.
The best way to stop crime is to address it before it happens, officials said.
Thibodaux City Marshal Calvin Cooks said that process begins at home.
“I tell all parents, be a parent, not your child’s friend,” Cooks said. “If you see that your child has brand-new shoes or a watch, you know they didn’t buy that. You need to investigate why they have it. Some of these kids are paying the bills for mom and dad so they look away. That’s a problem. Wrong is wrong and right is right. We need to start governing our children, and that’s where it starts.”
Harding said the relationship between police and residents must be repaired so both sides can work together.
“I just happen to be a concerned citizen that has a passion for the people,” Harding said. “I’m more Christian than I am politician. We’re trying to bridge the gap and bring the community together. As a community, we sometimes look at law-enforcement officers negatively. But what about the dead bodies? What about the mothers, daughters and sons affected by crime in our community? We’re trying to bridge the gap in our community because I just can’t stand to be intimidated in my own neighborhood where my mother has to walk the streets. We want to take back our community.”
Terrebonne Sheriff Tim Soignet said a victim of a violent crime is not the only party that suffers.
“There’s always two victims when a young person commits a violent act,” Soignet said. “The action they take causes their own families to be victims because they get incarcerated for a long time. We have to be compassionate on both sides and try to break through to the younger generations to prevent them from making these mistakes.”
The ongoing pandemic, recovery from Hurricane Ida and high prices for gasoline and food have caused an uptick in crime across the board, Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said.
“People with addiction are stealing a lot more,” Webre said. “We’ve seen a recent uptick in thefts of property, thefts of precious metals and thefts of catalytic converters. The social isolation created by 2 ½ years of COVID-19 and the impact of Hurricane Ida have exacerbated this problem of people turning to illegal narcotics and are taking things they don’t recognize that could take their lives.”
Webre also called for an end to what he calls the “Mafia mentality” when dealing with violent crime.
“People want to handle things within themselves rather than work with authorities to solve problems,” he said. “You add to that the effects of social media and the ability to post a video in Thibodaux that’s disrespectful and offensive to someone in Houma or Bayou Blue and that escalates to violence.”
Coleman challenged attendees to start working with police rather than against them.
"We can’t do this by ourselves," he said. "Let’s come up with a solution.”

text: MIDDLETOWN >> For more than three hours Thursday, the city's emergency calls were rerouted to Cromwell dispatchers after a system malfunction disconnected Middletown from a regional 911 transmission system. Middletown police and Mayor Dan Drew alerted the public about the outage on Facebook and Twitter at about 1:30 p.m., and followed up with multiple updates throughout the afternoon. Middletown's dispatch center also answers calls for Portland emergencies. A dispatcher from Middletown's Cross Street firehouse was immediately sent to the Cromwell Police Department to field emergency calls, according to Cromwell Police Chief Denise Lamontagne. Just before 3 p.m., Drew said in a press release that the failure had been pinpointed. "We have determined that the problem was caused by the failure of a state-maintained router, the purpose of which is to connect our system to the wider 911 fiber-optic infrastructure." Portland First Selectwoman Susan Bransfield sent an email at 3:30 p.m., saying that Cromwell was fielding the town's 911 calls. She told The Press that dispatchers were "communicating well." In an alert from the state emergency notification system at 4:40 p.m., Drew said the faulty router had been replaced by the Department of Public Safety Statewide Emergency Telecommunications division and services had been restored. The city won't incur costs from the replacement, Drew told The Press, because the equipment is part of a state-operated system. Those who had trouble getting through to the call center because of increased volume were told to immediately contact Middletown police, the Middletown, South District or Westfield fire stations; or Hunter's Ambulance for emergency assistance. Reporter Wes Duplantier contributed to this story.

The Center for Entrepreneurship at Colorado State University’s College of Business will host Venture Adventure, a two-day business plan competition on Friday, April 17, and Saturday, April 18, in Rockwell Hall.
Sixteen universities throughout the country will compete for cash prizes totaling more than $11,000 at the ninth annual competition. Members of the public are invited to attend.
"Venture Adventure gives students the opportunity to share their innovative business ideas with a panel of judges, and allows the students to receive valuable feedback before launching their businesses," said Alyssa Westfall, director of Venture Adventure.
Colorado State’s Venture Adventure competition gives undergraduate students the opportunity to present their ideas and plans for realistic, new business ventures to a panel of judges made up of community entrepreneurs and investors. Teams receive feedback from the judging panel that offers insight into real-world entrepreneurial challenges and allows contestants to sharpen their business planning and presentation skills.
Each team will submit a complete business plan to judges who will review the plans prior to the competition and score them based on the executive summary, company overview, product or service, market analysis, management team, operating strategies, financials, viability and innovation.
Round one of the competition is Friday. First-place winners for each track will advance to the finals on Saturday. Five finalists will compete based on an oral presentation on Saturday.
This year, the event will begin with an elevator pitch by all the green social and sustainable business plan entrants. The winner will receive the $500 New Belgium Green Social and Sustainable Award.
Several schools that competed in the past have returned to the competition this year. In addition to Colorado State, this year’s competitors include teams from all over the United States such as Syracuse University, Yale University, University of Illinois and the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Venture Adventure is sponsored by the Department of Management in the Colorado State University College of Business, Professional Document Management, and New Belgium Brewing.
The College of Business Entrepreneurship Center focuses on creating real-world learning experiences for students who aspire to become entrepreneurs through academic programs and entrepreneurial mentoring. The center hosts programs such as the Great Entrepreneur Speakers Series, the Entrepreneur Rotating Dinner and the Venture Adventure competition.

"Yes, but you must admit that the good doctor is a little strange himself, isn't he?"
If you only knew.
Dr. Bernard Hichcock (Robert Flemyng) has devoted himself to perfecting an anaesthetic of his own concoction -- one that allows him to engage in medical procedures no one else in the late 19th century would dare attempt. When these surgeries are a roaring success, as they so often are, he's hailed as a hero. When they don't...well, sometimes it leaves the good doctor with a new plaything in the morgue. You see, Dr. Hichcock is a necrophiliac, and his sexual fascination with lifeless, immobile women extends to his own bedchamber. The good doctor has been routinely injecting his own wife (Teresa Fitzgerald) with this anaesthetic, sending her into a sleep so deep as to be indistinguishable from death. Dr. Hichcock increases the potency of his concoction for work and play until one tragic evening, an injection doesn't simulate death so much as cause it.
Devastated by the loss of his Margaret, Dr. Hichcock can no longer bear the sight of his palatial home. He instructs his housekeeper (Harriet White Medin) -- who'd assisted in her master's unspeakable pleasures -- to care for the estate in his absence. As the saying goes, time heals all wounds, and Hichcock does one day muster the strength to return: this time with a new wife, Cynthia (Barbara Steele), by his side. She doesn't take to her new home. Shrill screams. Ominous footsteps. The sound of someone -- or something -- attempting to open her door as she lay in bed...a bed that was once Margaret's. The housekeeper's gaze locked upon a towering portrait of the late Mrs. Hichcock. The sight of a figure in white dashing through the garden. Is it the housekeeper's hopelessly mad sister, as she claims, or is the spectre of Margaret that looms over the house more than just a metaphor?
Though The Horrible Dr. Hichcock is most infamous for its necrophiliac tendencies, it's noteworthy for far more than that. There's no mistaking which filmmaker its title is meant to evoke, and it is indeed littered with thematic and visual references to Alfred Hitchcock's work, from the severed head stowed beneath a bed in Under Capricorn to Suspicion's ominous glass of milk to the more figurative attempt at resurrecting a lost obsession in Vertigo. Barbara Steele is a delight, as ever. Prone to fainting and screaming though Cynthia may be, she at least occasionally exhibits a strength and drive that set her apart from the harried, nameless protagonist of Rebecca: a film to which The Horrible Dr. Hichcock also owes no small debt. Robert Flemyng brilliantly conveys every aspect of Dr. Hichcock -- his respectable veneer, his depraved compulsions, and his descent into stark, raving madness. The film's gothic imagery is also striking, replete with the candelabra, cobweb-strewn corridors, skulls, hidden passages, torrential downpours, bursts of lightning, fog-blanketed forests, and ominous architecture this subgenre demands. Much could be written about the relationship between Dr. Hichcock and his wife as she's living and breathing. She's a knowing, willing participant in his drug-induced games. As profoundly as he clearly loves her, she's summoned to the funereal sex chamber through an intermediary -- we never see them speak -- and he can't bring himself to embrace her until she's unconscious.
Other elements don't work quite so well. Martha the housekeeper vanishes with no explanation. The film would've unfolded in an entirely different manner if she and Dr. Hichcock had sat down for a proper conversation upon his return. Cynthia's inner strength varies wildly depending on whatever the current scene demands. Little effort is made to establish any of them as proper characters, really. The Horrible Dr. Hichcock builds to a gloriously gonzo climax, though it's one that isn't altogether in step with the hour and change preceding it. For a film that makes it a point to push the envelope, aspects of the finalé are disappointingly traditional, incendiary and over-the-top though they may be. It's also very much worth noting that the only version available to Olive Films is this re-edited and significantly shorter American cut. It's reportedly clumsy in comparison to the British release, The Terror of Dr. Hichcock, and it runs some twelve minutes less than the version that made the rounds in Italy. Long unavailable on home video domestically, its uninspired presentation on Blu-ray reflects Paramount's complete and total lack of interest in the film. Still, this is a movie that's rarely found its way onto DVD in any country, and Olive's release marks its debut in high definition. There's certainly much to be appreciated about that.
Whatever elements Paramount have in their vault for this heavily cut/re-edited American release are far removed from the original camera negative. Though there's never any doubt that I'm watching a proper Blu-ray release, definition and detail are rather lackluster. The image is soft and flat, with its colors lacking much in the way of vivacity. This master is peppered with flecks of dust, nicks, and the like, and although it's hardly to the point of distraction, The Horrible Dr. Hichcock still stands out as one of the more weathered presentations to cross my desk in recent memory. High definition eye candy it's not. Still, this is the first Blu-ray release of the film the world over, and that's cause for celebration, even if it's of the least preferable cut.
There's been all manner of speculation about the film's original aspect ratio. I assume that it was shot with 1.66:1 in mind, but this 1.78:1 presentation doesn't appear to be particularly compromised. Given the lean 76 minute runtime and lack of extras, it follows that The Horrible Dr. Hichcock arrives on a single layer Blu-ray disc.
This particular cut of the film was edited expressly for the U.S., so it comes as no surprise that The Horrible Dr. Hichcock is exclusively presented in English. The 24-bit, two-channel monaural DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack is, much like the visual end of this presentation, rather rough-going. Mild hiss, clicks, and pops persist throughout the entirety of the film. Its score occasionally wobbles as if the master tapes are on the verge of snapping. Thin, dated, noisy, and generally underwhelming.
Also included is a set of English (SDH) subtitles.
None. I do feel the need to point out how beautiful the original poster art looks on this cover, though.
The Final Word
DVD Talk's own DVD Savant has written a marvelous review of The Horrible Dr. Hichcock -- one more deeply researched and borne of a longstanding admiration of the film than I could possibly match with my one, sole viewing. I'm very much left with the sense that this is a movie that cries out to be experienced multiple times for it to be fully appreciated. My kneejerk reaction is so mixed that I'm not sure how best to neatly summarize my thoughts. This isn't a film I'd enthusiastically recommend as a purchase sight-unseen, and the lack of extras or alternate cuts is disappointing, if understandable. Still, the modest asking price at some retailers -- $12.99 at Best Buy, as I write this -- certainly makes that roll of a dice easier to take. Those with a passion for Gothic horror, particularly if the film's more lurid elements intrigue them, will doubtless find The Horrible Dr. Hichcock to be a fascinating discovery on Blu-ray.

It’s not that hard to sneak into the pool. Duck around the back of the main building, out of sight of the street, and from there it’s just a quick hop over the fence. It’s common knowledge; everyone knows how to do it.
The chain link bites into his fingers as he climbs. Really, the shit he does for these kids. Steve levers himself up and over the top of the fence and lands with a soft thump on the concrete, ankles tingling from the shock. He walks it off, trying to move quietly. There’s a neon glow rising up from the pool, a watery electric blue that’s vaguely unnerving. The deep end, furthest from the streetlights, is swathed in shadows.
It’s summer. El closed the gate.
He forces himself to move. It’s fine. You’re fine. His fingers itch for his bat. He keeps walking. There’s no way Dustin left his hat here, he had it at the diner after they left to get shakes, but try telling him that. Steve did, and here he is, breaking into the goddamn community pool. Ten more steps, almost where he needs to be, and he’s just about got himself convinced that he’s fine when a voice rings out from the shadows, flat and a little mean.
“Pool’s closed, pretty boy.”
He whirls. Stumbles. Loses his balance, topples headlong in the water. Through the burn of chlorine, all he can see is swirling light, twisting and strange. It looks nothing like the tunnels that haunt his nightmares, but his heart is racing and he can’t fucking breathe. The monster is going to come out of the walls. Going to ooze up from the bottom of the pool. Did Barb—
He breaks the surface and gasps for air, frantic, lungs burning.
“Jesus Christ,” he hears the same voice say, not nearly so flat now. “You good, Harrington?”
Steve splashes blindly towards the edge of the pool, no grace at all, and nearly cries with relief when his hand hits the rough concrete lip. He coughs and sputters, shaking with adrenaline. A hand comes down on his shoulder, steadying him as he tries to cling to the edge. He leans into the warm strength of that grip until his vision finally clears and he finds himself looking up at Billy Hargrove.
Of course, he thinks, half-hysterical through the haze of fading terror. Who else calls me pretty boy?
Crouched near the edge, shaded that same electric blue, Hargrove is staring down at him like he’s crazy. Steve can’t blame him. He feels crazy, itchy inside his own skin, shivering even though the water is still warm from the baking heat of the afternoon.
“Harrington?” He’s frowning now, sharp but worried, like he thinks he might have to play lifeguard, after hours or not.
“Yeah,” he rasps out. “I’m fine.”
It’s not remotely believable, but Billy’s posture loosens, tension flowing out of his shoulders. When Steve makes no move to get out, he pulls his hand away and sits down on the edge nearby, water lapping at his calves. Steve misses the contact more than he should.
He doesn’t ask why Steve was sneaking around the pool after dark, and Steve returns the favor. It’s hours past close, no reason for Billy to be here. Silence stretches out between them, thick and heavy, broken only by the quiet ripple of water.
You’re fine, he tells himself again, but he can’t stop shivering. He should get out of the pool, find something to wrap up in. Get the hell away from the guy who beat him to a pulp just a few months ago. Instead, it’s all he can do to hold on to the ledge, keep his head above water. He tries to breathe deep, steady himself. Fails. Feels the air catch in his throat—viscous, like slime, like blood—and panics.
It’s like he’s heartbeats away from drowning until Billy glances down at him. Frowns, shifts, and then the flash of a lighter cuts through the dark and the fear. One breath. Two. The cig catches, and then the hot glow of the cherry replaces the flame. Billy takes a long drag and breathes out smoke like a long heavy sigh. Wordless, he passes the cigarette to Steve.
He takes it. His hands are still shaking. Rivulets of water run drip off his fingers, soaking the paper, but the nicotine hits him like a truck going full force. The tremors start to quiet. He takes a greedy drag, another, then forces himself to pass it back to Billy.
“Thanks,” he says.
“Mmm. Wanna tell me why that scared you so badly you forgot how to swim?”
Steve swallows. His mouth tastes like ash and bile. “Who says I knew how to swim in the first place?”
Billy snorts. “Tommy,” he says, meanness creeping back into his tone. “He won’t fuckin’ shut up about you or your pool. Mostly your pool these days.”
“Yeah, that sounds like Tommy. First-class mooch.”
“Got that right.”
He passes the cigarette back, stares out into the darkness while Steve takes another drag. The panic is almost gone.
November was a long time ago, but not long enough to think he and Billy were capable of civil conversation. Steve takes his time, flicks some ash away. Studies Billy’s face in the eerie blue light. The stubborn set of his mouth, the sharp cut of his jaw, it all adds up just like it should; the king limned in shadow. It’s familiar, and wrong. Billy doesn’t sit quietly like this, doesn’t let Steve exist nearby without needling him. One fight wasn’t enough—he’s always gotta see what else he can tear apart.
Steve looks closer. Nearly hidden in the blue and the shadows, there’s a bruise creeping across his cheekbone. Dark. Painful. When he takes the cigarette back from Steve, his hands are fine. Whoever hit him got away clean.
“Quit looking at me like that.”
Maybe Billy meant for it to come out sharp, come out like a threat, but he just sounds tired. Worn down, hollowed out. The way Steve feels all the time these days, tangled up in fear and sleeplessness.
“Sorry. I just—” he swallows again, licks his lips. Suddenly nervous, worried he’s gone and fucked up whatever weird peace the cigarette bought them. “Sorry.”
His hands are shaking again. The edge feels far away. What the fuck is he even still doing in the water—
“Fuck, Harrington, calm down—”
Billy’s right there, hand on his shoulder, steady, like he can hold back Steve’s panic through sheer force of will. The terror starts to recede. He’s still jittery, still shaking. Still fucked up from memories of the Upside Down, from imagining Barb’s death, from the neon blue of the pool, radiating out and staining everything in sight. He’s not thinking straight, so when Billy’s hand tightens on his shoulder, tugging him close, he just— goes.
“C’mon, pretty boy,” he says, voice low and gentle. “Take a breath. In, out. You can do it.”
He does. In, out.
His heartbeat slows. Clarity washes back in: he’s in the vee of Billy’s legs, arms wrapped around his waist, dripping water all over Billy’s worn cutoffs. Clinging. He should be embarrassed, probably, but he’s too grateful to care.
“Sorry,” he repeats, voice raspy.
Billy doesn’t say anything. He just offers up the remnants of the cig, holding it up so Steve can take a drag without letting go. The gentleness scrapes him raw. He forces his fingers to unlock, raises one hand to Billy’s face. Traces the shape of the bruise, trying to give something gentle back.
Billy flinches then settles, eyes flickering shut. The cigarette burns down to ash.
I don’t know him, Steve thinks abruptly. I don’t know him at all.
He’s exhausted. Cold. His mouth still tastes like ash and bile, and he knows a terrible idea when he sees one, but he can’t make himself care. Stupid or not, he wants to know this Billy Hargrove, silent and painted blue, careful instead of careless. Wants to hold on to the simple animal comfort of a hand on his shoulder, his palm on Billy’s cheek, skin warm beneath Steve’s touch.
“Hey.” Billy’s eyes open, dark and tired. Glassy, like he wasn’t expecting any tenderness.
Wary, Steve thinks.
“Think I owe you a smoke.” It’s a shitty opener, not at all what he meant to say, but Billy seems to understand anyway.
“Yeah,” he says. Licks his lips. Nervous, maybe. Disbelieving. Watches Steve watch him. “Yeah. Sounds good.”
If he’s nervous, it falls away as he helps Steve out of the pool, hands warm and sure as they haul him up. Some of the exhaustion is gone. He looks more like himself. It’s good.
Steve doesn’t know how long this strange peace will hold. Doesn’t know who put that bruise on Billy’s cheek. Doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to get back in a pool without drowning in memory and the bitter taste of regret. He doesn’t even know where Dustin’s damn hat is.
Those warm, sure hands pull him close, wrapping around his shoulder, holding him steady.
“Come on, pretty boy,” Billy says. It doesn’t sound like an insult at all. “Let’s blow this popsicle stand.”
Steve laughs, hoarse and startled, and then keeps laughing, hoarse and vaguely hysterical. He sounds fucking ridiculous. They both do. Billy joins in, and Steve still doesn’t know shit, but for now, he doesn’t care.
Billy has a key but they climb the fence anyway, giddy and stupid. Steve flops into the passenger seat of the Camaro, watches as Billy turns the stereo off and peels out of the parking lot at a mostly reasonable speed; it’s Hawkins after midnight and the roads are empty.
They leave the neon glow of the pool behind. Steve doesn’t look back.

Patients seeking access to reproductive health clinics in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania will be able to get through the doors with less potential for harassment, thanks to a new 20-foot buffer zone aroud clinics enacted by the city council.
The buffer zone will keep anti-choice activists further away from the doors and alleys of any medical provider, giving police more ability to keep activists and patients separate.
Anti-choice activist Susan Doller opposed the buffer zone, saying that those who try to access the clinic are protected enough from their harassment.
[A]nti-abortion protester Suzanne Doller questioned the need for a buffer-zone law.
Existing trespassing laws already protect patients and staff, Doller contended “If [protesters] were trespassing, we would be summarily arrested. There are laws in place” she said. “Babies are being killed there. [Protesters] are citizens, and we should be allowed to walk on public sidewalks like anybody else does.”
Doller should know the laws well, having kept regular company with police over her harassment in front of clinics, tactics that included not just signs and “counseling” but using a megaphone to shout at patients or video cameras to record them coming and going from the clinic.
When someone with a history of multiple charges and close ties with a group that argued that Dr. George Tiller’s murderer Scott Roeder may not be allowed a “fair trial” says that there is no reason to need a buffer zone to better protect patients and staff, you can’t blame the city council for not taking her word on it.
An anti-choice group has announced plans to file a lawsuit and launch a public protest over Chicago’s nearly seven-year-old “bubble zone” ordinance for patients seeking care at local abortion clinics.
The Pro-Life Action League, an anti-choice group based in Chicago, announced on its website that its lawyers at the Thomas More Society would file the lawsuit this week.
City officials in October 2009 passed the ordinance with nearly two-thirds of the city aldermen in support. The law makes it illegal to come within eight feet of someone walking toward an abortion clinic once that person is within 50 feet of the entrance, if the person did not give their consent.
Harassment of people seeking abortion care has been well documented. A 2013 survey from the National Abortion Federation found that 92 percent of providers had a patient entering their facility express personal safety concerns.
The ordinance targets people seeking to pass a leaflet or handbill or engaging in “oral protest, education, or counseling with such other person in the public way.” The regulation bans the use of force, threat of force and physical obstruction to intentionally injure, intimidate or interfere any person entering or leaving any hospital, medical clinic or health-care facility.
The Pro-Life Action League lamented on its website that the law makes it difficult for anti-choice sidewalk counselors “to reach abortion-bound mothers.” The group suggested that lawmakers created the ordinance to create confusion and that police have repeatedly violated counselors’ First Amendment rights.
“Chicago police have been misapplying it from Day One, and it’s caused endless problems for our faithful sidewalk counselors,” the group said.
The League said it would protest and hold a press conference outside of the Planned Parenthood clinic in the city’s Old Town neighborhood.
Julie Lynn, a Planned Parenthood of Illinois spokesperson, told Rewire in an email that the health-care provider is preparing for the protest.
“We plan to have volunteer escorts at the health center to make sure all patients have safe access to the entrance,” Lynn said.
Pam Sutherland, vice president of public policy and education for Planned Parenthood of Illinois, told the Chicago Tribune back then that the health-care provider expected the city’s bubble zone to be challenged following the 2014 decision.
But in an effort to avoid legal challenges, Chicago city officials had based its bubble zone law on a Colorado law that created an eight-foot no-approach zone within 100 feet of all health-care facilities, according to the Tribune. Sidewalk counselor Leila Hill and others challenged that Colorado law, but the U.S. Supreme Court upheld it in 2000.
University of Denver's Joshua Wilson argues that prosecutions of abortion-clinic protesters and the decline of "rescue" groups in the 1980s and 1990s boosted conservative anti-abortion legal activism nationwide.
There is nothing startling or even new in University of Denver Professor Joshua C. Wilson’s The New States of Abortion Politics (Stanford University Press). But the concise volume—just 99 pages of text—pulls together several recent trends among abortion opponents and offers a clear assessment of where that movement is going.
As Wilson sees it, anti-choice activists have moved from the streets, sidewalks, and driveways surrounding clinics to the courts. This, he argues, represents not only a change of agitational location but also a strategic shift. Like many other scholars and advocates, Wilson interprets this as a move away from pushing for the complete reversal of Roev. Wade and toward a more incremental, state-by-state winnowing of access to reproductive health care. Furthermore, he points out that it is no coincidence that this maneuver took root in the country’s most socially conservative regions—the South and Midwest—before expanding outward.
Wilson credits two factors with provoking this metamorphosis. The first was congressional passage of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act in 1994, legislation that imposed penalties on protesters who blocked patients and staff from entering or leaving reproductive health facilities. FACE led to the establishment of protest-free buffer zones at freestanding clinics, something anti-choicers saw as an infringement on their right to speak freely.
Not surprisingly, reproductive rights activists—especially those who became active in the 1980s and early 1990s as a response to blockades, butyric acid attacks, and various forms of property damageat abortion clinics—saw the zones as imperative. In their experiences, buffer zones were the only way to ensure that patients and staff could enter or leave a facility without being harassed or menaced.

Vote now! And help Rewire earn a bigger grant from CREDO:
The second factor, Wilson writes, involved the reduced ranks of the so-called “rescue” movement, a fundamentalist effort led by the Lambs of Christ, Operation Rescue, Operation Save America, and Priests for Life. While these groups are former shadows of themselves, the end of the rescue era did not end anti-choice activism. Clinics continue to be picketed, and clinicians are still menaced. In fact, local protesters and groups such as 40 Days for Life and the Center for Medical Progress (which has exclusively targeted Planned Parenthood) negatively affect access to care. Unfortunately, Wilson does not tackle these updated forms of harassment and intimidation—or mention that some of the same players are involved, albeit in different roles.
Instead, he argues the two threads—FACE and the demise of most large-scale clinic protests—are thoroughly intertwined. Wilson accurately reports that the rescue movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s resulted in hundreds of arrests as well as fines and jail sentences for clinic blockaders. This, he writes, opened the door to right-wing Christian attorneys eager to make a name for themselves by representing arrested and incarcerated activists.
But the lawyers’ efforts did not stop there. Instead, they set their sights on FACE and challenged the statute on First Amendment grounds. As Wilson reports, for almost two decades, a loosely connected group of litigators and activists worked diligently to challenge the buffer zones’ legitimacy. Their efforts finally paid off in 2014, when the U.S. Supreme Court found that “protection against unwelcome speech cannot justify restrictions on the use of public streets and sidewalks.” In short, the decision in McCullen v. Coakley found that clinics could no longer ask the courts for blanket prohibitions on picketing outside their doors—even when they anticipated prayer vigils, demonstrations, or other disruptions. They had to wait until something happened.
This, of course, was bad news for people in need of abortions and other reproductive health services, and good news for the anti-choice activists and the lawyers who represented them. Indeed, the McCullen case was an enormous win for the conservative Christian legal community, which by the early 2000s had developed into a network united by opposition to abortion and LGBTQ rights.
The New States of Abortion Politics zeroes in on one of these legal groups: the well-heeled and virulently anti-choice Alliance Defending Freedom, previously known as the Alliance Defense Fund. It’s a chilling portrait.
According to Wilson, ADF’s budget was $40 million in 2012, a quarter of which came from the National Christian Foundation, an Alpharetta, Georgia, entity that claims to have distributed $6 billion in grants to right-wing Christian organizing efforts since 1982.
By any measure, ADF has been effective in promoting its multipronged agenda: “religious liberty, the sanctity of life, and marriage and the family.” In practical terms, this means opposing LGBTQ inclusion, abortion, marriage equality, and the right to determine one’s gender identity for oneself.
The group’s tentacles run deep. In addition to a staff of 51 full-time lawyers and hundreds of volunteers, a network of approximately 3,000 “allied attorneys” work in all 50 states to boost ADF’s agenda. Allies are required to sign a statement affirming their commitment to the Trinitarian Statement of Faith, a hallmark of fundamentalist Christianity that rests on a literal interpretation of biblical scripture. They also have to commit to providing 450 hours of pro bono legal work over three years to promote ADF’s interests—no matter their day job or other obligations. Unlike the American Bar Association, which encourages lawyers to provide free legal representation to poor clients, ADF’s allied attorneys steer clear of the indigent and instead focus exclusively on sexuality, reproduction, and social conservatism.
What’s more, by collaborating with other like-minded outfits—among them, Liberty Counsel and the American Center for Law and Justice—ADF provides conservative Christian lawyers with an opportunity to team up on both local and national cases. Periodic trainings—online as well as in-person ones—offer additional chances for skill development and schmoozing. Lastly, thanks to Americans United for Life, model legislation and sample legal briefs give ADF’s other allies an easy way to plug in and introduce ready-made bills to slowly but surely chip away at abortion, contraceptive access, and LGBTQ equality.
The upshot has been dramatic. Despite the recent Supreme Court win in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, the number of anti-choice measures passed by statehouses across the country has ramped up since 2011. Restrictions—ranging from parental consent provisions to mandatory ultrasound bills and expanded waiting periods for people seeking abortions—have been imposed. Needless to say, the situation is unlikely to improve appreciably for the foreseeable future. What’s more, the same people who oppose abortion have unleashed a backlash to marriage equality as well as anti-discrimination protections for the trans community, and their howls of disapproval have hit a fever pitch.
The end result, Wilson notes, is that the United States now has “an inconstant localized patchwork of rules” governing abortion; some counties persist in denying marriage licenses to LGBTQ couples, making homophobic public servants martyrs in some quarters. As for reproductive health care, it all depends on where one lives: By virtue of location, some people have relatively easy access to medical providers while others have to travel hundreds of miles and take multiple days off from work to end an unwanted pregnancy. Needless to say, this is highly pleasing to ADF’s attorneys and has served to bolster their fundraising efforts. After all, nothing brings in money faster than demonstrable success.
The New States of Abortion Politics is a sobering reminder of the gains won by the anti-choice movement. And while Wilson does not tip his hand to indicate his reaction to this or other conservative victories—he is merely the reporter—it is hard to read the volume as anything short of a call for renewed activism in support of reproductive rights, both in the courts and in the streets.

Purchase EA from racing maker Codemasters Means EA Sports is introducing an F1 racing game for the first time since 2003. F1 2021Available on July 16 for Xbox, PlayStation and PC, it expands career mode to include a two-player option and introduces Braking Point, a narrative-driven story mode that’s sure to make driving vehicles at super fast speeds and very low to the ground even more exciting and immersive.
The last time EA released the F1 game was in 2003 F1 career challenge, The game does not even warrant Wikipedia’s “Reception” section. By that time, EA had lost the F1 license, so they launched a game dating back to the 1999 to 2002 seasons that they had previously licensed. Sad. But now EA owns Codemasters, the company that has been making official F1 games since 2009, returning the hottest car racing to EA Sports’ jurisdiction.
While Codemasters says Braking Point’s new story mode took years, it feels like something out of EA Sports, adding a more personal experience to a somewhat impersonal racing game. There aren’t many details yet on what exactly Braking Point entails other than a dramatic trailer and a small name, but it will show up. Devon Butler, The F1 2019 competition character that players despise.
And here you are. It might be nice to get race car shots or something, but that needs to be done for now. Welcome to EA Sports, Formula 1 racing.

From 3,000-year-old Uplistikhe to the 6th century David Gareja Monastery and the long-forgotten dwellings of Samshvilde, all of Georgia’s cave sites are awe-inspiring.
But none prevail quite like Vardzia.
Scattered across the slopes of Erusheti, looming over a lush valley scored by the Mtkvari river, Vardzia is Georgia’s most remarkable cave city.
In its day, the rock-hewed burg consisted of 6,000 rooms spread across 19 levels, including 25 wine cellars, a nunnery, 15 chapels and an apothecary, all coming together to create a vibrant medieval city and monastery.
Secret escape tunnels, confusing dead ends
First conceived and constructed as a fort in the 12th century under the reign of King Giorgi III, it was his daughter who really brought it to fruition. Under her watchful eye, an elaborate series of caves and chambers was chiseled deep into the belly of Erusheti, among them a secret escape tunnel and a tangle of dead-end halls to confuse enemies.
Over the years, it quickly evolved from a modest fortress into a sprawling monastery, cultural center and offensive stronghold. Vardzia was home to some 2,000 monks, housed tens of thousands of residents and, thanks to fertile terraces and a complex irrigation system, was a self-sustaining city before that was even a thing.
At the helm of it all was Tamar the Great, a legendary monarch so fierce and powerful she earned the title of king – Tamar Mepe. Over her near 30-year reign – twice married and a woman no less – Georgia thrived politically and territorially, her rule stretching across the Greater Caucasus and plunging south between modern day Ganja and Erzurum.
Literature and art flourished like never before, giving way to some of Georgia’s greatest figures. Namely, Shota Rustaveli, a medieval poet whose unrequited love for Tamar and epic poem “Knight in the Panther’s Skin” solidified his place in history and earned him an avenue in just about every city in the country.
However prosperous, Vardzia’s success was relatively short lived. In the year 1283, an earthquake shook the region, wrecking more than 70% of the city and shedding the outer wall in an avalanche of biblical proportions. Left without a solid defense, most of Vardzia packed up and left, leaving behind only the steadfast monks.
The monastic community held on for another 300 years until further raids wiped them out.
More than 800 years after the reign of King Tamar, a handful of monks still tend to Vardzia, having returned after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Around 500 caves remain, including an apothecary with its carefully carved shelving intact and wine cellars with qvevris (ancient wine making vessels) still embedded below as if no time has passed at all.
Even further into the mountain are the labyrinth of untouched tunnels – some more than 600-feet long – connecting it all together in an ancient web.
Even the time-worn dining hall with its stone sculpted benches and hearth for baking prevail.
The most distinctive structure you’ll come across is the massive bell tower jutting out from the top of a rock shelf. It retains most of its original glory, though you’ll notice one very important missing piece that was taken during a Mongol raid – the bell.
Most impressive is the Church of the Dormition with its double-arched, bell hung portico impossibly carved into the mountain face. Inside are spectacularly weathered frescoes including one of just four in existence of King Tamar.
Visitors will want to go on a hunt for the Tears of Queen Tamar, a natural spring hidden deep within the tunnels where you’ll find a pool seemingly filled with water pouring – or crying – from the rocks above it.
The surroundings have quite a lot on offer too. Opposite Vardzia is the Vardzia Cavetown Viewpoint. As the name suggests, it’s an excellent stop off to take it all in from afar.
Then, there’s the lesser known Vanis Kvabebi (Vani Caves) a stone carved monastery just 10 minutes’ drive from Vardzia.
Predating the site by a few hundred years, Vanis Kvabebi is nearly as impressive as Vardzia itself. Eager climbers can scale the ruins through a series of wooden ladders that lead to a tiny white domed church, and enjoy sweeping views of the valley.
Not far from Vanis Kvabebi is Tmogvi Fortress. Teetering high above the river, it’s a massive sprawl of ruins made up of a long forgotten citadel, tarnished frescoes and crumbling towers.
En route back to Tbilisi, you’ll come to a forked road marked by Khertvisi Fortress – a medieval castle outstretched atop a rocky outcrop. A turn right will take you towards Armenia and deeper into Samtskhe-Javakheti.
Vardzia is situated in Samtskhe-Javakheti, a region in southern Georgia flanked by Turkey and Armenia with a vibrant tapestry of culture, landscape and cuisine. In the northern half of the region, you’ll find Borjomi – a densely forested spa town known for its heal-all springs and bottled mineral water that remedy even the worst hangovers, according to local legend.
And then there’s Akhaltsikhe, a quiet little city dominated by Rabati Castle, a medieval fortress and symbol of diversity crowned with a mosque, a synagogue and an orthodox church.
Tucked away in the southeastern corner of the region you’ll find Paravani Lake. The largest lake in Georgia, it’s surrounded by volcanic mountains, and wild, windswept terrain. On its southern shores sits Poka, a hamlet home to St. Nino Nunnery, a humble convent closely tied to the legend of St. Nino, a woman who brought Christianity to Georgia making it the second nation in the world to convert after neighboring Armenia.
On the grounds you’ll also find a small shop run by the nuns who prepare artisanal chocolates, traditional cheeses and even beer made in qvevri.
The region is shaped as much by its culinary traditions as it is cultural landmarks. Thanks to the influence of several cultures over the centuries, Samtskhe-Javakheti offers a whole gamut of delicious food.
High in the hills rolling out from Akhaltsikhe lies Andriatsminda, a tiny village where a few local families have preserved the laborious tradition of tenili, a cheese native to the region known for its angel hair texture.
Thought to be left over from the presence of French priests in the region, you’ll also find lokokina (snails) meant to be enjoyed as a juicy filling for khinkali (dumplings), or plated escargot style.
Other delights include apokhti khinkali made with dried meats such as goose, Meskhuri shoti (Meskhetian bread) and longtime favorite of the region tatarberaki – delicate squares of boiled dough smothered in a rich sauce of garlic, onion, butter and yogurt.
Just a smidge over four hours from Tbilisi, a drive through the dense woods of Borjomi and fortress-gilded Akhalstikhe will land you in Vardzia.
Opt for one of the many eager drivers perched on Freedom Square, or get behind the wheel with a rental. While there are plenty of drivers happy to make a day trip, the area is best explored over a couple of nights so that you can really soak it all in.

Looking fabulous at 41! Carmen Electra crams her curves into LBD for belated birthday bash in Las Vegas
Her claim to fame has always been her fantastic physique.
And Carmen Electra proved she still has a body that would be the envy of many half her age as she attended her belated birthday bash in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The former Baywatch babe looked in a great mood as she celebrated her 41st birthday Crazy Horse lll Gentleman's Club.
She's still got it: Carmen Electra was looking almost as good as ever as she celebrated her 41st birthday in Las Vegas on Saturday
It was very much a return to her roots, as she started her career in 1990 as a dancer at the Kings Island amusement park in Mason, Ohio in the long forgotten show It’s Magic.
And she wore a look her younger self would have been proud of after cramming her curves into a tight-fitting little black dress.
Even her staunchest critics would surely agree the outfit was wonderfully flattering, hugging her body in all the right places.

An appropriate venue: The Playboy favourite celebrated at the Crazy Horse lll Gentleman's Club
Fine physique: She made sure she showed off her famous charms in a figure hugging black dress
Bye bye 40: But the actress is claiming she still feels as good as she did when she was 25-years-old
The actress, who was discovered by randy singer Prince, said: 'I feel better than I did at 25. I still have the discipline I learned when I studied ballet growing up.
' love Playboy - they supported me from the beginning. I heard I've had the third-most covers of anyone, after Pamela [Anderson] and Anna Nicole Smith. I'm very proud of that!'
She also said she is open to the idea of starting a family through adoption.
Carmen said: 'I'd be an encouraging and fun mom. I'd let my kid be who they are but also be a good solid mom.
'I definitely have an edgy, wild side to me - and I know people are surprised by this - but I can be very traditional too.'
Mother material? Carmen has also claimed she in interested in the idea of starting a family via adoption
Having a great time: And this impressed young gentleman seemed to be enjoying himself too

The Prettiest of feathers and The Killing Circle
Psychological thrillers are not my favorite genre; however in this case, I shall recommend two books I thoroughly enjoyed. One is by a Canadian author and takes place in Ontario Canada, the other is by both John Philpin and Patricia Sierra.
THE PRETTIEST OF FEATHERS delves into the deep and dark mind of a psychotic killer. What is interesting is the dance between his latest victim and himself, one bent on killing and the other seemingly wanting to be killed. I will say no more, not to spoil the read!
I will add however the start of the story takes place in a bookshop, and poetry plays a role!
THE KILLING CIRCLE. Is another thriller based on a writing group. (by Andrew Pyper) Now as most interactions between writers and poets is via the internet, I am sure many could relate to this one. Oh how much fun it would be …. If only……………. Ah if only one could keep a secret! J
Now I have shared these good reads with a few poets on the PoetrySoup, so it will be interesting if this should maybe inspire a poem or two. I most surely think it will.
As Halloween is just around the corner, I thought what a fitting post!
It has been a while since I have posted a blog! Yes there is a reason for this. It has not been for lack of ideas or topics, simply because with current events, most of my ideas have been focused on American Politics, aka Humpty Dumpty and his wall, and of course the ongoing suffering in the world, mainly the war in Syria, and Russia’s indiscriminate bombing of hospitals, children and civilian areas! See I can’t stop myself!!!
Now this would be easy to do, however being mainly a poetry site, I thought as relevant as the topics may be, at times it can be a little over the top for a poetry site, even these are topics I often write about. So…
How about something more uplifting, less serious and none the less not without meaning, not to mention very entertaining!
I love music, I play classical guitar, and love when I hear truly talented voices and musicians! However what I truly love in life and music is diversity, and so this music video provides all that.
I might also add a small side note! The strength of her voice for some reason reminds me the strength of another woman’s poetry, Eileen Manassian. I find that poetry, art, music, culture so intertwined and beautiful, and I love when form or poet or artist or singer, reminds me of another. This is often the muse required for creating yet more original words!!!!!
Hi there, the blog has been running for almost a year, and as you can see I try to keep up a few posts a month. More about poetry and fellow poets, but also about current events, social issues as well as art and music. I look forward to any suggestions from readers and fellow poets!


Highlands County Sheriff Susan Benton is asking for the community's help to find the daughter, niece and granddaughter of one of a local family.
Natanalie Marie Perez, 19, from Highlands County, was offered a job and a safe place to live in Miami earlier this year, but went missing in June.
Family members believe Natanalie may have become a victim of human trafficking by coercion and deception brought about by a close friend.
She is biracial (Hispanic and Black) and is 5'1" tall, 130 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Relatives and friends of Perez are asking the public to support them in a countdown to her birthday on Oct. 18. According to Maria Mitil, Perez's aunt, "We are doing this as community awareness and an outreach for the victims of Human Trafficking. Please help us bring Natanalie home."
Family and supporters will be present on U.S. 27 for a countdown to Perez's birthday, at which time they plan to have a birthday party for her.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Perez should contact the Miami Police Department at 305-603-6300 or Detective Brian Livesay of the Highlands County Sheriff's Office Special Victim's Unit at 863-402-7357.
Information may also be sent to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678. Anyone with information who wants to remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward is asked to call Heartland Crime Stoppers at 1-800-226-TIPS(8477), contact us on the internet at www.heartlandcrimestoppers.com. Anonymity is guaranteed.

The original Volkswagen Tiguan was a compact crossover SUV launched in 2007. It was very well received by consumers and the media, and it was so good, it became one of a few vehicles to stay in production even after an entirely new-generation was launched by its manufacturer. Riverside Volkswagen drivers will know it as the Tiguan Limited and this is what the 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan has to offer.
When you come across one of the latest Volkswagen Tiguan Limited models at a Riverside area Volkswagen dealership, getting to grips with its specification is an exercise in pure simplicity. That's because there is one trim level and one engine, although there are a number of options to consider.
The engine under the hood of the Tiguan Limited is a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder unit developing a very capable 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. That power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic control and a Sport mode, but the additional capability of all-wheel drive is also available. There's also an electromechanical power steering system with variable assistance and active return, and four-wheel independent suspension to help deliver a comfortable ride.
Naturally, the Volkswagen Tiguan Limited costs less than the new-generation Tiguan, but it still includes a lot of standard equipment to make it a great value offering that still looks as good as it did when it was launched. Standard features include daytime running lights, power heated mirrors, climate control, a rearview camera, and a color touchscreen sound system with Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming.
Apart from all-wheel drive, most of the available options have been bundled together into the Premium Package. The package adds black roof rails to the outside and a trunk cover inside, but the main focus of the upgrades are technological. The tech features included in the Premium Package are an auxiliary input for portable audio players, SiriusXM Satellite Radio with a three-month trial subscription, a USB port, keyless access with push-button start and cruise control. It also upgrades the infotainment system to the Composition Media touchscreen sound system with a proximity sensor and voice control. Volkswagen Car-Net App-Connect is also part of the package.
VW Car-Net App-Connect is a feature that allows you to connect your compatible smartphone with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or MirrorLink, so it's possible to access select apps on the Tiguan Limited's touchscreen display. From streaming music to mobile apps, a huge amount of media is available which can then be accessed via the vehicle's touchscreen.
Along with all the usual airbags, an anti-lock braking system, electronic brake-pressure distribution and hydraulic brake assist, other standard safety features include electronic stability control, anti-slip regulation, an electronic differential lock and engine braking assist.
Volkswagen's Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) is also standard with the Tiguan Limited. ICRS is a feature that deploys the airbags in the event of a collision, and it can turn off the fuel pump, unlock the doors and activate the hazard lights. The idea is the system steps in to react in circumstances where you might not be able to.


Sliding library shelves receive money-saving modernized upgrade
Sliding library shelves with a high density profile and automated push-button operation that controls carriage movement to create an accessible aisle which compacts to save space while rolling along floor tracks underwent a slight upgrade. The decision to update the storage with an LCD display touchscreen interface that promotes user-friendliness while offering better security and safety came after the system had provided a higher-education institution with reliable service that lasted more than two decades. Since a storage distributor local to the area managed to service the unit during that time, library staff put faith in its experienced technicians and sales staff to offer advice about options and make recommendations that would allow transitioning to a more modern system. Continue reading to learn more about the installation.
The university ended up deciding to modernize its sliding library shelves that bare a high density profile and automated push-button controls with a more contemporary-looking LCD display touchscreen interface. The reasons that drove their decision to choose it over any other available option appears to have next to nothing to do with the system’s ability to provide increased security through a controlled audit access feature that operates with a pin-code or card authorization to regulate use. Rather, those involved knew the investment would extend the life of the university assets at a far more inexpensive price over that which would result from purchasing a current high-density storage system. The streamlined conversion process would minimize disruption, too. The system’s ability to fit right into a base control cutout using tamper-proof screws that provide added security eliminates any need to utilize new face panels during an upgrade, saving money while ensuring easy installation and a smooth transition from one system to another.

Mordern storage with LCD display touchscreen interface offers easy use
In only a few weeks time, the library’s older electronics received the much-needed upgrade turning the storage with LCD display touchscreen interface into a state-of-the-art system that offers easy use. Since its installation, the system has proven more intuitive for students who know about this type of “swipe” technology. The controls have also cut down the time staff spends explaining how to operate the system.
The actual conversion process took place during the summer so as not to interfere with class sessions. It went off without a hitch, with everything finishing on time. The local storage representative traveled to the site once installation had finished to review the warranty and train the client on how to operate the modernized storage with LCD touchscreen interface.
Benefits to using LCD display touchscreen interface
Among the available benefits that result from using the LCD display touchscreen interface with “swipe” technology are:
- Built-in tutorials provide users with virtual instructions on how to operate the system and are available to customize based on user specific applications
- Voice prompts and button click sounds, each with volume control that allows adjustments to match user preferences
- Interactive and dynamic screen with menu, arrows, stop signs and more intuitive icons and colors. Featured symbols and colors change to display the available system movements and menu options at any time.
- Complete system audit log available to download in a format that personnel can view using any computer spreadsheet or text viewer
- Users only need to touch anywhere on the screen to stop system motion, reducing injury potential and ensuring personal safety
- System diagnostics get displayed in a clear fashion on the screen to ensure simple and intuitive servicing and troubleshooting
- Users can reconfigure the system at any time without needing to call upon a service technician

Amusing to see myself mentioned in dispatches for the first time in a while. From the sounds of it my tumbledown shed of a story did not really impress -- "Jeremy Day’s ramshackle, casual and scribbly line... expressive, spontaneous" etc. Well, never mind. It's partly my own fault for always trying to cram 20 pages into 10 -- but that one's hard to avoid. I never want to waste space, there is so little of it.
Work, value, time, space, expression. It's a difficult balance. And on that note, off to work.

Keeping Girls in School: Addressing Early Marriage and Breaking Barriers to Reproductive Health Care
reader diary by LindaSuttenfield, Pathfinder International
September 28, 2011
Haregnesh Abetneh is 20 and lives in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. At age three, she was given away in a “promising” marriage. I met Haregnesh on a trip to Ethiopia recently and was awed by her story.
“When I turned 8,” Haregnesh said, “I was already divorced. I wanted to attend school, but my family wanted me to enter another marriage. This created a challenge, but I kept telling my parents that I did not want to get married again. I saw educated people and the difference in their lives. I also had friends who were in early marriages, who began having children very young. I watched as they had no food to eat or feed their children and they just kept getting pregnant and having babies. Some of them experienced prolonged labor and fistula. I could see that they were suffering and I wanted my future to be different.”
Over the last five years as I’ve worked at Pathfinder, I have seen that when girls have educational opportunities, they are empowered to improve their reproductive health and their lives. Conversely, when they are denied education, they are at a higher risk of poverty, HIV and AIDS, gender-based violence, and other harmful traditional practices. Getting and keeping girls in school is one of the best ways to foster later and chosen marriage, thus reducing the risk of maternal death from early child birth. With this fundamental belief in mind, Pathfinder International provides educational support intervention to girls like Haregnesh as an integral part of women and girls’ empowerment efforts.

I went home to Aitkin a few weeks ago and my mom made these tarragon veggies with chicken, her mom and dad’s recipe. I ran to the store to get tofu for me, and the rest is history. This dish pairs perfectly with Brian’s Spring Pasta Salad. Try it with a glass of Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for a pleasant spring dinner.
Roasted Tarragon Veggies with Fried Tofu
Serves 4. Vegetarian
8 stalks celery
6–8 medium carrots
1 medium onion
1 can stewed tomatoes
2 Tbsp tarragon
1 tsp sea salt
2 blocks firm tofu
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel and chop carrots. Chop celery and onion. Place carrots, celery, and onion in a pan and add stewed tomatoes, tarragon, and salt. Mix well.
Roast in oven for 75-90 minutes, until carrots are cooked through.
Press tofu on cutting board using a dishcloth or paper towels. Chop into 1-inch pieces.
Fry tofu in saucepan with olive oil, adding black pepper to taste and a splash or two of soy sauce.
Stir frequently and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, until all sides are golden brown.
If you’d like your tofu a little spicy, add some Sriracha!
I just love cooking with friends. It is such a lovely way to spend an afternoon or evening. I’ll be doing more of it, soon.
This recipe is the brainchild of my friend, Brian Frisk — a fellow veggie lover and one of those friends you can pick up with right where you left off.
(Note: This salad is perfect with the delicate white balsamic vinegar. Brian said you can definitely find it at Cub and Trader Joe’s.)
Turn this into a main dish by adding some garbanzo or cannellini beans!
Spring Pasta Salad
Serves 4-6. Vegetarian
1 lb tomatoes
3 spring onions
1 small package pea shoots
(about 2 cups. Arugula or baby spinach would also work well)
3/4 cup EVOO
3/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
3 Tbsp honey
3 cloves garlic
1 box fork-friendly whole wheat pasta of your choice (rotini, penne, farfalle)
Cook pasta according to package directions. Cool in fridge while preparing veggies.
Dice garlic. Whisk together in a small bowl with EVOO, white balsamic, sea salt, pepper and honey. Set aside.
Peel cucumber and chop. Chop tomatoes and spring onions. Add veggies and dressing to cooked noodles and mix well.
Chill in fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving.

I just had to write to tell you about my experience with The Mat. I used it for the first time yesterday and it was a large 14" round cake. I have to tell you, it was absolutely wonderful. I followed the instructions in your video and it really works exactly as advertised. I make many fondant cakes and I love making the flowers and decorating them, but I always dreaded covering the cake with the fondant. But not anymore. I think your product is fantastic and I wish I knew about it a long time ago. It would have definitely saved me a lot of grief. So congratulations on a wonderful product AND extra kudos for having it made in the USA. I am so pleased.

A virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
Words: Paul Gerhardt, 1650 (Wir singen dir, Imma-nuel). Translated from German to English by Catherine Winkworth, Lyra Germanica (London & New York: George Newnes & Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1855), pages 18–19.
Thee, O Immanuel, we praise,
The Prince of Life and Fount of Grace,
The Morning Star, the Heav’nly Flower,
The virgin’s son, the Lord of Power.
With all Thy saints, Thee, Lord, we sing,
Praise, honor, thanks to Thee we bring,
That Thou, O long expected guest,
Hast come at last to make us blest!
Since first the world began to be,
How many a heart hath longed for Thee;
Long years our fathers hoped of old
Their eyes might yet Thy light behold.
The prophets cried,
Ah, would He came
To break the fetters of our shame;
That help from Zion came to men,
Israel were glad, and prospered then!
Now art Thou here; we know Thee now,
In lowly manger lieth Thou;
A child, yet makest all things great,
Poor, yet is earth Thy robe of state.
From Thee alone all gladness flows,
Who yet shalt bear such bitter woes;
Earth’s light and comfort Thou shalt be,
Yet none shall watch to comfort Thee.
All heav’ns are Thine, yet Thou dost come
To sojourn in a stranger’s home;
Thou hangest on Thy mother’s breast
Who art the joy of spirits blest.
Now fearless I can look on Thee,
From sin and grief Thou sett’st me free;
Thou bearest wrath, Thou conquerest death,
Fear turns to joy Thy glance beneath.
Thou art my head, my Lord divine,
I am Thy member, wholly Thine,
And in Thy Spirit’s strength would still
Serve Thee according to Thy will.
Thus will I sing Thy praises here
With joyful spirit year by year;
And they shall sound before Thy throne,
Where time nor number more are known.

The Truth About Robotics
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and laparoscopic (LRP) surgery for prostate cancer have been widely advertised as highly preferable, minimally invasive alternatives to the old standard open radical prostatectomy. After all, who wouldn’t want “DaVinci” performing his surgery? Proponents tout fewer immediate complications and quicker recovery.
But is This Really the Case?
Several recent articles have revealed a darker side to the happy picture portrayed in the highly successful marketing campaigns for these procedures.
Michael Blute, MD, of the Mayo Clinic, writes in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, “Patients have been led to believe that hospital and recovery times are shorter and outcomes are better, but study has shown this expectation is not the case. RARP is simply an alternative method to extract the prostate.”
In a study conducted by Jim C Hu, MD of Harvard, and others, it was found that 27.8% of patients undergoing LRP/RARP were more likely to suffer local relapse and require salvage therapy with radiation therapy plus androgen deprivation therapy within 6 months of the procedure. (9.1% of patients undergoing the traditional open prostatectomy reported the same local failures.)
Blute also points out that patients undergoing LRP/RARP appeared to have more anastomotic strictures than in open surgery (15.2% vs 12%). Anastomotic stricture results in a significant decrease in urinary quality of life including difficult bladder emptying, recurrent urinary tract infection, bleeding and increased rates of urinary incontinence.
In addition, reported rates of other complications with LRP/RARP are surprisingly high: cardiac 6.6%, respiratory 11.7%, vascular 6.5%, wound/bleeding 3.6% and genitor-urinary 8% (total 35%).
The author concludes that many of the noted problems with LRP/RARP could be associated with the limited experience level of surgeons anxious to jump on the robotics bandwagon. Fewer complications were seen with patients treated by surgeons with significant experience with the technology. He goes so far as to suggest that a standardized training program be developed, sanctioned by a specialty medical society and required prior to board certification in the procedure.
An editorial comment by Nicholas Bakalar in the New York Times citing Dr. Hu’s article, quotes Dr. Mark L. Gonzalgo from Johns Hopkins (not involved in the study), as saying one of the laparoscopic disadvantages is loss of the surgeon’s tactile sense, “You can’t feel the cancer in robotic operations, and the ability to feel the cancer with your hands may provide some additional advantage.”
Meanwhile, a side note, darker side to all of the above is the 9.1% failure rate at only 6 months using the superior open procedure. What about 1 year, 2 year and later? Pandora’s box has once again been opened and also deserves commentary.
