Charter Commission Adopts Proposal To Establish Independent Nomination Board
At last Thursday’s Maui County Charter Commission meeting, proposals were adopted that would significantly change the selection process and requirements for people serving on County boards and commissions.
Debate was deferred on a proposal to establish community boards, similar to neighborhood boards on O‘ahu.
The 11-citizens Charter Commission is in the midst of a year-long review of the County Charter, which takes place every 10 years. The goal is to improve County government by looking for problems or deficiencies in the way the County now operates or seeking new ways to improve the system of local government by amending the County Charter.
Over the next several months, Commissioners will hear public testimony on almost 70 proposals related to planning, the police, the executive branch (other than planning and police), and a variety of miscellaneous and new provisions.
The Commission members have reviewed an equal number since the Commission convened in March. The community is encouraged to join in and provide testimony at the regularly scheduled meetings.
The first proposal adopted last Thursday — which is found under the heading Theme F – General Provisions and Boards/Commissions — would establish an independent nomination board to formulate a list of qualified applicants from which the Mayor would select his nominees to County Boards, Commissions and Advisory Committees.
Additionally, the Commission voted for a proposal to repeal “political party membership” criteria, and one that would change member terms to five full years regardless of their appointment date.
These three proposals align with the Commission’s goal of promoting greater representation and diversity among the County’s boards and commissions.
Also under Theme “F,” the Commission endorsed a proposal allowing electronic signatures on documents and one to remove the penalty ceiling for violations of Charter provisions.
A proposed amendment to limit exemptions related to affordable housing development was deemed not appropriate for the County Charter, and was rejected.
The Commission heard public testimony on Theme G – Planning, under which numerous competing charter amendment proposals would significantly alter the makeup and operations of the Planning Department.
Two similar proposals to create a Planning Commission for each Community Plan area were defeated, and following lengthy discussion, the Charter Commission elected to defer the vote on a proposal to create community boards in Maui County.
The Commission will debate community boards and the 18 remaining proposals under Theme “G” at its next meeting scheduled on Oct. 21.
Among the agenda items still pending are proposals to abolish the Board of Variances and Appeals; delete or change Citizen Advisory Committees; and to create a Cultural Resources Commission that would identify and report on County lands deemed culturally or historically significant.
There also is a suggestion to give some regulatory authority over the Kalaupapa Settlement area to the Molokaʻi Planning Commission and to remove Kahoʻolawe as a Maui Community Plan area.
Other proposals seek to revise timelines placed on those involved with land use decisions, and to make Planning Commission membership an elected position rather than a mayoral appointment.
Agenda items are subject to cancellation and will be taken up in the order listed, as time permits. The Commission receives testimony on the topics on its agenda as it moves from one “Theme” to the next. During the meetings, the public can provide testimony via video or by telephone. Written testimony can be sent at any time. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, public meetings are held online via BlueJeans.
The Charter Commission wants to hear your thoughts on these, and other, important topics concerning Maui County government. To offer your recommendations visit mauichartersurvey.org. The public is also encouraged to send written testimony via email to [email protected].
To ensure timely distribution to the Commissioners, written testimony should be submitted at least two business days prior to the meetings.

The South-West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO) is the largest political party, and during the struggle for independence, it was recognized by the OAU and the UN General Assembly as the sole legitimate representative of the Namibian people. SWAPO had a political wing, PLAN, that was engaged in war with South Africa. SWAPO's support comes chiefly from the Ovambo people of the north and from urban areas. The Democratic Turnhalle Alliance (DTA), a white-led amalgam of constituent ethnic parties, was the main opposition party in Namibia's first two elections. It narrowly lost the main opposition role (partly due to early alleged financial links with white South Africa) to the new (formed in March 1999) Congress of Democrats (CoD) in the 1999 elections. Three other parties— the United Democratic Front (UDF), the Monitor Action Group (MAG), and the Democratic Coalition of Namibia—won at least a seat in the 1994 and 1999 elections. There are also several small ethnic parties, most of which were represented in the bodies appointed in 1985.
In the 1989 elections to the constituent assembly, SWAPO gained 41 seats (57.3%); the DTA 21 seats (28.6%); the United Democratic Front, four seats (5.6%); and the Action Christian National, three seats (3.5%). The other parties collectively gained three seats on 5% of the vote.
In the 1994 elections, SWAPO maintained its commanding majority in the assembly, taking 73.9% of the vote, which translated to 53 seats. DTA held 15 seats; United Democratic Front, 2 seats; and one each by the Democratic Coalition of Namibia and the Monitor Action group.
Nujoma and SWAPO hold a monopoly on power in what a specialist on Africa, Mahmood Mamdani, calls the "old nationalist model"—in which the liberation party is "the custodian of the nation, and anyone who disagrees is unpatriotic".
In the November/December 1998 elections for National Council, SWAPO took 21 seats, DTA 4, UDF 1 seat. In the November/December 1999 presidential elections, Nujoma performed even better that in previous elections, winning 76.8% of the vote. Ben Ulenga of the CoD had 10.5%; Katuurike Kaura of DTA, 9.6%; and Chief Justice Garoëb of the UDF, 3%. SWAPO swept 55 of the 72 National Assembly seats; CoD and DTA, got 7 each; UDF, 2; MAG, 1. Next elections were due December 2004.

Under the “Energize RI” program, Providence Gas Co. (ProvGas)was awarded $2.45 million Wednesday by the Rhode Island PublicUtilities Commission (PUC) for losses attributable to externalforces the utility experienced last winter. The original requestwas granted by the the PUC’s Division of Public Utilities andCarriers (the Division) in March but it was subject to PUCapproval.
ProvGas said the payment proves that the three-year program,designed to improve the state’s gas infrastructure without raisingcustomer rates or putting the utility at risk, is a success.
“The winter weather in the northeast, combined with theprecipitous drop in oil prices, was far outside the norm wegenerally experience in New England,” said James Dodge, CEO ofProvGas. “The implementation of this latest step and the settlementagreement by the parties to Energize RI address the stabilizationgoals of the program-recall that we lowered rates by 4% initiallyand froze rates at those levels for three years-and demonstratesthat the program functions for the benefit of all constituencies.”
Due to the Energize RI program, which started in 1997, ProvGasmade $75 million worth of infrastructure improvements andcustomers’ bills were cut 4% then frozen for three years. Inexchange for these benefits, the program allows ProvGas to ask theDivision for repayment due to exogenous circumstances, such as lastwinter’s warm weather and low oil prices. It also limited thevolatility of gas costs by allowing the utility to lock in gassupply.
“It really has been a win-win for everybody. For us, we wereable to recover costs and take out the peaks and valleys manyutilities experience,” James Grasso, a ProvGas spokesman said.”There is no other program in the country like this, and because ofits success, I think there is a general interest on the PUC’s sideand ours to continue it.”

As part of continued collaboration with Pixartprinting, photographer Sebastian Erras’s moved his lens at the exquisitely decorated storefronts of Paris. The project, named “Paris Re-tale,” aims to spotlight both the city’s shopkeepers and the charming characteristics of their businesses painted signage, intricate tilework, arched thresholds, inviting interior lighting schemes.
“The idea for the project was not only to showcase some of these beautiful and old storefronts in Paris but also to dig a bit deeper and go beyond the image and tell the story,” Erras says. These captivating images of little shops reveal a more colorful side of Paris. Here several of the eye-catching highlights from Erras’s project!

Being a rookie quarterback in the NFL isn't easy, and neither is playing quarterback against a division rival with Super Bowl aspirations. That's why EJ Manuel's Week 1 performance was the most impressive of any rookie.
Manuel only finished with 150 yards passing, but it's not passing yards or gaudy, record-setting numbers that set Manuel apart. It was his efficient handling of a new offense against a tough opponent that signals fantastic things to come from the Florida State product.
Manuel threw two touchdown passes and did not turn the ball over, setting the Bills up with a late lead, which would eventually be surpassed on a late field goal from New England.
So how did the two touchdowns happen?
The first was a wide open pass to Robert Woods, and all Manuel had to do was drop the ball into his hands for six points.
His second touchdown was a bit more special. (Images obtained from NFL Game Rewind)
Stevie Johnson has lined up in the slot, and he's the primary target for Manuel.
Manuel decides to get the ball to his best receiver as soon as he realizes that the safety isn't in position to make a play on a deep pass to Johnson. The ball leaves EJ's hands shortly after this image was grabbed.
And as you can see, the safety isn't there in time, and the corner covering Johnson allowed him the inside position, which Manuel took advantage of with a perfect touch pass.
It's that efficiency that drew praise from CBS analyst Dan Marino, which you can watch in the video below.
Marino praised Manuel's ability to improve himself over the course of the game and take care of the football, managing the offense and putting his team in a position to win.
Combine his game management with his decision-making shown on the second touchdown throw and you can see why Manuel was a tough opponent for the favored Patriots.
Manuel made rookie mistakes, and he has things to work on. But he also showed veteran poise and a firm grasp on a brand new offense.
Here's one final example of what Manuel is capable of doing, and why his impressive debut is likely just the beginning of a surprisingly good season. (Images obtained from NFL Game Rewind)
You can see the route trees drawn out, and notice that Manuel has two levels of options over the middle of the field. Throwing down the middle can be dangerous, however, especially if a quarterback is hesitant. But watch how Manuel handles the defensive alignment.
The defenders, circled in red, are keyed in on the underneath route. Manuel has his eyes down the middle of the field, but none of the defenders are aware of the position of Manuel's target, the player circled in black.
And as you can see from the perspective behind Manuel, as soon as the defender in the area of his preferred target (circled in red) breaks toward the short route, he delivers a perfect pass over the middle to lead his receiver for a big gain.
That particular play would be called back for a flag, so it's the classic case of a play that doesn't show on the stat sheet but will be on tape as a positive example of what Manuel can do.
EJ Manuel outclassed his fellow rookies in Week 1 on the 2013-14 season, and he set himself up for a great debut season in Buffalo. If he can continue to make good decisions and limit turnovers and mistakes, he'll be well worth the first round pick used to select him.

So about two weeks ago I started having some pain while breastfeeding. LO (little one) is 4 months old and I chalked it up to her teething and the return of my period. It only got worse though and finally last Wednesday I was in so much pain I looked in her mouth and sure enough she had thrush. It was the day before thanksgiving so I rushed both of us to doctors appointments and got nystatin cream for me and the oral suspension for her. So we have been taking it for 6 days and my pain has gotten better and her white patches have cleared up in her mouth. I am still doing the medicine for both of us and sterilizing everything at least once a day.
Here's the problem. I realized that my pain had been from thrush all along and so I threw away the extra milk I had pumped during that timeframe. I always pump an extra 5 oz in the AM and sometimes a few oz in the afternoon. I haven't been freeIng the milk I pumped while beig treated and instead have given it to her in bottles or thrown it out.
When is it safe to start saving my milk again without the risk of it passing thrush along to her again?

Chiropractic Superior for Spinal Pain
Chiropractic care was significantly better than a sham treatment in alleviating spinal pain for patients in a new study.
Although chiropractic is widely used to treat spinal pain, ongoing research seeks to identify and quantify its effectiveness.
In a recent study published in the journal Spine, researchers compared chiropractic care to a sham intervention for spinal pain. The study included 183 participants with spinal pain who were randomly assigned to receive either chiropractic or a sham intervention for two weeks. The chiropractic patients had better improvements in pain and physical function than the control group. They were more likely to have global improvements, with 48% demonstrating global improvements, compared to 24% of the control group. The majority of chiropractic patients (78%) reported satisfaction with their treatment, compared to just 56% of the control group. The researchers concluded that chiropractic care was superior to the sham intervention.
This is simply the latest study demonstrating the effectiveness of chiropractic care for spinal pain. While this study only compared chiropractic to a sham intervention, other research comparing chiropractic to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, epidural steroid injections, and traditional medical care, has also confirmed the effectiveness of chiropractic.

text: Robbie Hummel out for 2010-2011 season Purdue senior Robbie Hummel re-tore his ACL in practice on Saturday morning and will miss the entire 2010-11 season, the university said. Hummel missed the Boilermakers' final eight games last season after tearing the ACL in his right knee the first time in a February 27 game against Minnesota. Before the injury, Hummel started all 27 games for Purdue, averaging 15.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. The senior forward earned All-Big Ten and honorable mention All-American honors. "This is obviously disappointing for Robbie, as well as our team, since he worked so hard to return from the tear he suffered in February,'' Purdue head coach Matt Painter said in a statement. "As he begins his rehab and recovery, we'll persevere together and provide Robbie with all the support possible. I have no doubt he'll continue to play a pivotal role for this season as a leader for our team.'' Because Hummel never redshirted, he will be eligible for a fifth year and would be able to rejoin the Boilermakers next season. The news is a serious blow Purdue, a team considered among the top-three teams in the nation with Hummel in the lineup. Last season when Hummel was injured, Purdue rallied and surprised many with a trip to the Sweet 16, in which they lost to eventual-champion Duke. Graduation had already cost Purdue two starters from that team in Keaton Grant and Chris Kramer.

text: The difference in absorption of insulin and its glucose lowering-effect after the administration of crystalline insulin by the intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous routes was compared in 14 lean normal subjects. Insulin in a dose of 0.1 U/kg body weight was given by the three different routes. Blood was drawn from the opposite arm at regular intervals for the determination of insulin, glucose, glucagon, cortisol, and potassium. Intravenous insulin produced the highest pharmacological level of insulin in 2 minutes (2099 +/- 414 muU/ml) with marked hypoglycemia at 30 minutes (a 68% drop). Intravenous insulin injection produced an increase in plasma glucagon and cortisol reaching a 2-fold increase above the fasting level 30 minutes after the glucose nadir. An equivalent amount of intramuscular insulin produced a maximal increase in plasma insulin at 50 minutes (45 +/- 4 muU/ml) and caused a 35% drop in plasma glucose at 60 minutes, which effects were greater than those caused by subcutaneous injection (highest IRI = 36 +/- 3.5 muU/ml and 23% glucose drop at 180 minutes). No significant increase in glucagon or cortisol was noted with equivalent amounts of subcutaneous or intramuscular insulin injection. Our studies suggest that, in normal lean subjects, insulin injection by the intramuscular route provides a faster absorption of insulin with a concomitant greater drop in plasma glucose than does injection by the subcutaneous route.

How Are Elephant Matriarchs Chosen? Instead, they are led by an elected matriarch, chosen based on her leadership qualities and personality, and ‘adopted’ sisters of a similar age. Eventually, their herds get bigger, as they successfully mate and have their own wild-born babies tottering about their feet.
How do elephants decide on a matriarch? Although they tend to be close, an elephant family can split. This decision is influenced by ecological factors, such as the availability of food and water in the area, and social factors, such as how well the elephants get on, the size of the group or the death of a matriarch.
How do elephants choose their leader? Humans have long understood and accepted that many kinds of animals maintain their position of leadership based on dominance and aggression. Contrary to this typical societal structure, elephant herds are led by an alpha-female, a matriarch, and she is not chosen by her ability to be the most aggressive or assertive.
Who leads an elephant herd male or female? An elephant herd has mainly females and baby elephants. The oldest female is the leader of the herd. A herd may have 10 to 12 female elephants and young ones. Male elephants live in the herd till they are 14–15 years old.
How Are Elephant Matriarchs Chosen – Related Questions
Do elephant herds have a leader?
The oldest mother is called the MATRIARCH who is the leader of the herd. Female elephants stay in their herds for life, but the male elephants leave between the ages of 7 and 12. The matriarch knows everything the herd needs to know to survive.
Do elephants mate with siblings?
In female elephants, those raised with older sisters had higher long-term survival and reproduced for the first time an average of two years earlier, compared to those with older brothers. Reproducing at an earlier age is generally associated with more offspring over the course of an elephant’s lifetime.
Are elephants maternal?
Elephant mothers carry their babies for nearly two years before giving birth. Then they ensure their babies get the best food, teach their children the most useful skills and show their children how to lead the herd during hard times. Elephants recognize that their mothers know best — the herds are matriarchal.
Are female elephants leaders?
The oldest and largest female elephant is the leader of the herd. This herd includes the daughters of the matriarch and their offspring.
Who is the leader of an elephant herd?
The oldest and largest mother is the leader. She is called the matriarch. The herd walks in a line behind her.
Are female elephants dominant?
Matriarchs / Hierarchy Status
The oldest, most dominant female is called the matriarch. The matriarch is the backbone of the elephant family unit because she provides stability and determines ranging patterns for the rest of the family.
Are elephants afraid of mice?
According to some, elephants are afraid of mice, because they fear that mice will crawl up their trunks. This could cause irritation and blockage, making it hard for elephants to breathe. However, elephant experts say there’s no support for this belief.
Who takes decision in an elephant herd?
Ch-3 Question 2: In the elephant herd, the oldest female elephant decides everything.
How do elephant herds work?
Herds are led by a matriarch, usually the oldest female, and are made up of daughters, sisters and their offspring. Male elephants stay with the herd through adolescence and then move away as they grow older. Male elephants often stay independent, but sometimes band together in bachelor pods.
Why do elephants walk in a line?
Why they do this is quite a mystery, however, one theory is that spreading out these bones may deter would-be predators from their trail. Elephants demonstrate concern for members of their families. They take care of weak or injured members and appear to grieve over a dead companion.
Can dogs mate with their mother?
Unfortunately, the question of whether you can breed a dog with its parent isn’t straightforward. If you want to be technical, then yes you can. The two dogs can mate and even conceive.
Do animals mate for pleasure?
Animals obviously hook up, at least during mating season. They are difficult to measure directly but by watching facial expressions, body movements and muscle relaxation, many scientists have concluded that animals reach a pleasurable climax, he said.
Do elephants mate for life?
While elephants are not among the animals that mate for life, the elephant family sets a high standard for familial loyalty. Male elephants tend to live alone, but female elephants typically live in large family groups, either with their own offspring or alongside other female relatives and their young, too.
Why would a mother elephant reject her baby?
WHY DO ELEPHANTS SOMETIMES REJECT THEIR NEWBORNS? As elephants are so tactile and sociable, a mother rejecting their newborn appears very unusual. The phenomenon could be linked to the mother suspecting the calf had a deformity or just the psychological distress of labour.
How long does an elephant stay with its mother?
How long do elephants stay with their mothers? On average, for 16 years — just about the same amount of time that human children rely on their parents.
Do mother elephants love their babies?
The Bond is Strong and they Stay Together
Mama elephants have been seen grieving over stillborn calves, and some elephants often return to, or linger around locations where their loved one(s) died. A female elephant will typically live and roam with her mom until she dies.
Are elephants loyal?
Although scientists were once reluctant to attribute emotions to animals, fearing the charge of anthropomorphism, today researchers writing about elephants speak freely of their loyalty, patience, devotion, courage, and cleverness, as well as their wrath. Elephants continue to grow for most of their lives.
How do elephants make decisions?
Day to day decision-making involves broad participation including consensus building. In Amboseli families contain anywhere from 2 to 16 adult females (that is, females over the age of 10). A matriarch, usually the oldest and most respected female, leads each family.
What is a group of female elephants called?
A group of elephants is commonly called a herd or, less commonly, a parade! Above all else, herds are family groups. Herds vary significantly in size, but their structure is consistently multigenerational and matriarchal. A typical herd is led by one female elephant matriarch.
What is elephant Favourite fruit?
Jackfruit… an elephant’s favorite fruit! Unfortunately it is quite expensive, so it’s a treat they only get once in a while, like on National Elephant’s Day. The elephants ran behind the car, trunks in the air, following the aroma of this sweet fruit.
Does elephant tusk grow back?
Nearly all African elephants have tusks as do most male Asian elephants. In the same way that a human tooth does not grow back if it’s removed, neither does an elephant’s tusk. Once these protruding teeth are removed, an elephant will never grow more.

text: ALL bets on who is going to be the centre right Partido Popular's candidate for president of the Balearics are pretty much off. The PP secretary general, Javier Arenas, said yesterday that he will announce the PP's Balearic candidate soon, adding that with all probability the candidate will be former Balearic president and Environment Minister Jaume Matas. Arenas would not give a date, although this week the PP's national executive meets to officially unveil the party's candidate for the May 25 local elections. However, Arenas did unveil the PP's local election campaign slogan, Less taxes, more security, with the election manifesto to be unveiled tomorrow. Arenas said that the PP does not expect the Iraq crisis to be a local election issue, how the electorate votes next month will directly affect their lives for the next four years. Those considering a protest vote best wait until the general elections and Jaume Matas said that he does not consider the Prestige oil catastrophe as an election issue in the Balearics either. Matas, as Environment Minister, is still in the firing line for the oil spill 100 days ago which is still causing damage to the northern coast of Spain, but he does not believe the Prestige issue should influence how the electorate votes in the Balearics. Matas rounded on the opposition PSOE socialist party for continuing to use the Prestige to win votes.

Good afternoon! Today is BEATA ALESSIA, and the name of the Wondering Wandering Writer is exactly ALESSIA! I have translated for you the story of the day contained in the book that Aunt Maria Teresa gave me for Father's Day 1990 and that I used to read with my dad whenever we could! The drawing you see is the kelpie designed by Rosa Iannello for the first Cosmopolitan Family book! You can buy a copy of the first book illustrated by her in both English and Italian! Here are the links where to find them!
"What can I do?" the puppet asked to himself. "How can I get Claudia to notice me?" And so, at midnight, he left his puppet theatre and headed for the rag horse. "O little horse, help me, please. I would like to pick some roses for Claudia, in the park, but I'll never make it alone!" The little horse was happy that someone had finally noticed him; he let the puppet ride on his back and sneaked out of the shop through a half-open door. In the darkness of the deserted street, they felt lost and desperate, but Bigio the kitten came to their aid and, having learnt the reason for their strange nocturnal excursion, offered to pluck roses for them. It was child's play for Bigio to climb the little wall of the park and pick the most beautiful roses. Proud of his booty, he returned to his friends. When the puppet offered Claudia the real roses and told her that the horse had also been part of the expedition to the park, she was moved and clapped him affectionately on the shoulder. When he woke up, someone was caressing him: it was not the doll but a child who, happy, was bringing home his new toy.

With only a few days left before the close of its charity art contest, Algonquin Outfitters (AO) is coming up blank.
The Paddle Art Contest runs every two years and has contestants putting an artistic spin on a blank wooden paddle, whether that be painting, carving, burning, or something else. Contestants are then supposed to return the paddle to AO by August 31st. The art piece will then be auctioned off to support local arts organizations.
The second part is where they’re running into problems, according to AO Marketing Director Randy Mitson.
“We’ve had a lot of people pick up the paddle blanks, and we’ve only got a few back so far, only about 25,” says Mitson. “We know that there’s hundreds of paddle blanks out there that people have worked on and maybe are finishing last-minute, so if they could bring them back to any of our stores and submit them into the contest, [they can still] go into the auction.”
All of the money raised from the auction will go towards supporting the arts, according to Mitson. As an extra incentive, the paddles that raise the most money at auction will net the artist a prize. This year’s recipients will be the Town of Huntsville’s public art reserve fund, Algonquin Art Centre in Algonquin Park, Huntsville Art Society, Huntsville Festival of the Arts, Tom Thomson Gallery in Owen Sound, and the Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough.
This initiative of “art supporting art,” as Mitson puts it, raised more than $20,000 with 206 paddles during its first run in 2017. In 2019, 182 paddles raised almost $33,000. Mitson says every time the auction runs, the result “blows his expectations out of the water,” and that hopefully this year will be no different.
“I like to set lofty goals, but I don’t know how I can set a goal bigger than $33,000, so I’m happy if we get 10 grand, or 20 grand, or 33,” says Mitson. “It’s very great to see all the generosity of all the people in the community, the artists that make the paddles, and all the people who bid on them too.”
This year, the auction will also feature the Group of Seven canoe murals, painted by local artist Gerry Lantaigne in 2020. All submitted paddles will be on display at Algonquin Theatre’s Partners Hall from September 13th to September 27th, the duration of the online auction.

Editor’s Note: We are so excited to have Maggie Stiefvater at our Flagship Store in Dallas next week! She’ll be joining us Wednesday, September 25 at 7 p.m. for a book signing and Q & A. Please note that Maggie has asked readers to buy at least one of her books from an HPB, so please either buy a book the day of the event or bring in a receipt from another HPB; we will begin handing out signing passes starting at 9 a.m. on Weds the 25th (the day of the event). Additional books may be brought from home or from another store. Email email@example.com if you have any questions.
We asked Maggie to come up with a list of books she recommends — thanks, Maggie! We appreciate it. — Kristen D.
I give a lot of love to my favorite fictional bits and bobs in most book recommendation posts I do, so I thought this time around, I’d list a few of my favorite nonfiction/ research/ mythology books. These are some true things I read before I make things up.
1. An Encyclopedia of Fairies, by Katharine Briggs. This big, dusty, out-of-print tome was my first real introduction to the fairy folklore of the United Kingdom. It’s a lovely alphabetical encyclopedia of all the various pretties and nasties that could kill you in a supernatural way as of the time of writing. It’s where I tell people to begin if they’re interested in British fairy lore.
2. The Golden Bough, by James George Frazer. Really, this is not the only book on comparative mythology out there, or the best, but it was the first for me — the first book I read that talked about myths from several different places and then said, “these all look a lot alike. Let’s DISCUSS.” How I adore discussing. So while #1 on my list gives you the specifics of some folklore, this one asks you to look at the general. Not to sound too geeky, but as a fantasy author, it’s invaluable. If you think hard about what purpose old mythology served, it better positions you to create new ones that might resonate in the same way, two hundred years later.
3. Songbook, by Nick Hornby. Probably this feels like a sharp left turn, but I don’t think it really is. Nick Hornby’s best known for his novels (Hollywood loves them, you’ve seen them on airplanes, they involve Hugh Grant), but this collection of essays on music is my favorite book by him. Music is as much an inspiration to me as mythology is, and it’s sort of the same thing — it’s a way we make sense of the world. Just another way we tell ourselves stories.
4. Wall and Piece, by Banksy. Even though this book is written by a guerrilla street artist and has nothing to do with music or mythology, it’s not a left turn, either. Because art is just another way of story-telling, of course, and Banksy is an artist famous for writing his own mythology.
5. The Career Novelist, by Donald Maass. Okay, I haven’t read this one in awhile. And it is an actual left turn from the other books in this list. But it’s the one book on the industry that really made an impact before I was published. It’s older, so some of what it says about the book industry is no longer right, but the broad concepts remain true. It’s a great guide on how to remain pragmatic in a career built on emotions.

I’m blogging this so I can one day come back to my thoughts, or perhaps lend some insight to whoever’s reading. =)
So…I’ve been thinking…there’s this preconception about mothers who create, it is that we have successfully figured out the whole keeping the house together, being the model wife and raising happy healthy children thing– and so since we’ve figured it all out, we search for a new challenge – a hobby – something to fill the time of boredom we have. NOT TRUE, at least not for me.
My truth is, the house, since kids – has never been clean for more than a few mere hours. The dishes have been in the sink for two days, the trash is over flowing, there’s laundry still waiting to be folded and put away from last month, there’s toys, and paper, and crumbs everywhere….and I really can’t tell you the last time I dusted the whole house. I don’t make 3 course meals every day and the hubby and I struggle to find time to spend with each other because of our schedules. But I’ve managed to keep them fed, clean, happy and alive…and for me that’s a win! Haha. Now don’t get me wrong, we don’t live in a pig sty …the house is not a complete dump… but I’m surely NOT the ideal Pinterest Wife and Mom.
What I think is truer, for me – is that being a good wife and mother is such a magnificent challenge that an insertion of creativity is needed simply for balance. I often tell people, being creative “keeps me sane” because it’s the truth! It does! I feel as wives and mothers, we spread ourselves so thin sometimes giving so much of ourselves to the people that need us, that we must create for ourselves a time, a place, a way, to be creative – to relax, to recharge, to rejuvenate our mind and spirit…so that everything else that we are called to do each day, can happen. Sewing, for me, has this magical ability to bridge the gap between my sanity and madness so I don’t find myself jumping off the bridge into crazy town. (Haha)- It calms me, it fuels me and it allows me to come back to my responsibilities recharged and ready to go again. I am a better wife and mother for it.
My wish for you all is that you find some way to be creative. It can be sewing, painting, crafting crocheting, baking, decorating, building sand castles, making art from trash, shaping balloons, playing with playdough, cutting up paper, …..there are so many little things you can do. Creativity is everywhere! GO EXPLORE, GO EXPERIMENT, BE CREATIVE – keep your sanity. Hahaha. Alright, that’s enough rambling….Hope you guys have a wonderful week! Xoxo

Minhaj Evening School London’s students celebrated the 67th birthday of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri. In their speeches, they paid rich tributes to him for his contributions in various fields. They underlined the need of promoting peace and knowledge in the world in line with the teachings of their Quaid to help build a harmonious and bright future for all nations.
A great Mawlid-un-Nabi ﷺ Conference in the honour of our beloved Prophet ﷺ took place at the Minhaj-ul-Quran International London centre, which was organised by Minhaj Women League (MWL) London on Sunday, 3rd December 2017. A large number of women along with children attended the gathering. The programme was hosted by Sister Sehrish. The programme commenced with recitation of the Holy Quran by Sister Khadijah, after which a heart-warming nasheed was read.
Minhaj Welfare Foundation is working with local team on the ground to ensure vital food and medical supplies reach those in need; especially women and children. The Syria crisis has been ongoing since 2011, and has affected more than 13 million people. Minhaj Welfare Foundation is committed in supporting the humanitarian efforts on the ground.
Addressing a press conference in London, PAT Chairman Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri has said that the hands of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif are bloodied with the killings of innocent people in Model Town. He said that the Prime Minister is directly involved in the Model Town carnage, asking with what face will he plead the case of the Kashmiris at the UN? He said that if the country did not earn a bad name with the Panama leaks, how will the demand for justice in the Model Town case bring it into disrepute? He clarified that we are knocking on the doors of the international institutions for justice against the government of Nawaz Sharif, not the state of Pakistan.

It’s important to understand how to care for a pet before bringing them home. Many issues can be avoided with just a bit of reading, and you want your axolotl to be healthy and happy. Caring for an axolotl is harder than a goldfish but easier than caring for salt water fish.
You might also want to check out our article about axolotls.
Getting Setup for Axolotl Care
Axolotl price is a small factor when we consider the rest of an axolotl owner to be shopping list!
- Axolotl Tank
- Aquarium water parameters test kit
- Filter ( preferably a low flow filter )
- Aquarium thermometer
- Turkey baster ( for removing excrement from tank )
- Food: see below to learn what axolotls eat
- Hide, a little cave like a terracotta pot
- Plants and tank decor
- Chiller ( optional )
Before you put your axololt in your aquarium make sure to cycle the tank. This can’t be stressed enough. A non-cycled tank is likely to kill an axolotl. When you start your tank, and when doing water changes, if using tap water make sure de-chlorinate it. You can do this with the product ‘Prime’ ( widely available ) or by letting the water sit out overnight.
Axolotls are carnivorous. They don’t care for vegetation, they want to devour other creatures. Infant and juvenile axolotls commonly eat each other if left in the same tank ( the cannibalistic stage should cease when the axolotl is six inches long ). Let’s talk about what to feed your axolotl.
For convenience most people feed their axolotl a consistent diet of Axolotl Pellets, such as Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets.. This is the easiest way to get started. Axolotl pellets can be purchased at pet stores.
For an occasional treat you can give your axolotl a small bit of lean meats like cooked chicken or cow. But usually you’ll want to feed them the types of creatures that are found naturally in water.
Waxworms, maggots, blackworks, bloodworms, butter worms, and fly larvae also make great treats but only once per week. You can also feed your axolotl mosquitoes, crickets, daphnia, and frozen brine shrimp.
Axolotl can live on a straight diet of night crawlers without developing vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You can start a worm farm in your backyard, and thus turn kitchen scraps and other compost into axolotl food.
How often to feed an axolotl – Feed your axolotl roughly twice per week, or once per three days. Timing is not an exact science, axolotls have been known to live without food for up to two weeks ( don’t push it ).
If you feed too often, you risk raising the ammonia level of the tank due to excess decomposing organic matter. Make sure you scoop out any uneaten food. Overfeeding can also cause your axolotl to become constipated, which in turn can cause bowel obstruction, often resulting in their death. So don’t overfeed!
After a short amount of time caring for your axolotl, you will get a feel for timing of feedings.
Young and growing axolotls require feeding once daily until they attain adult size.
Axolotls will some times not be interested in eating. Don’t worry unless this behavior continues.
Because of the decomposition of organic matter in the tank ( axolotl feces, food leftovers, etc ) harmful bacteria build up in the tank. Yes a properly cycled tank helps mitigate this, but we still need to do water changes one per week. Pull out about twenty percent of the water and replace it with fresh de-chlorinated water. Once per month do the same process but for about half of the water.
Some people choose to remove their axolotl from the tank when doing water changes. Whether you decide to take yours out or leave it in, watch closely for signs of stress. If your axolotl gets stressed when you take it out of the tank, try leaving it in and vise versa. To remove your axolotl from the tank, use a tub which has only ever been used for this purpose, and has never been washed with soap ( residue can hurt your axolotl ). Just gently scoop your axolotl into the tub and make sure the tub has water from the aquarium and sits in a safe place while you’re changing the water.
If you care to know the gender of your axolotl, you may need to wait until the axolotl is eighteen months old. If it’s a male though, he could show much sooner than that, as soon as eight months.
Females tend to have wider body shape than males, though this is not always an accurate way to know. Males will have a large bulge ( cloaca ) behind their back legs while females do not have a bulge there.
A cloaca is a sac that some animals have which has one opening; for poop, urine, and reproductive fluids. Most animals have an opening for each, but some animals ( especially birds and reptiles ) have a cloaca.
If you have two axolotls, and you find that one is male and the other is female, put them in separate tanks ( dividers won’t work ) unless you want to care for thousands of axolotl babies. And if you do want to care for thousands of axolotl babies, make sure to mate two that are from different families.
We all get it, axolotls are cute and thus it’s tempting to want to pet them and handle them, but don’t! Axolotl have sensitive skin and are very delicate. Don’t ever take your axolotl out of water, unless it is for a brief moment to give them a tea or salt bath.
Axolotl do have lungs, but their gills are designed for them to breath in water and not out of water. If you accidentally forget to close the lid on your tank and your pet jumps out, gently pick them up and get them back into the water asap.
If you’re wanting a pet you can handle maybe consider a kitty or a snake instead! Axolotl do interact, but from within their tank. Take care of your axolotl.
Potential health issues
Stress – Stress is one of the most common causes of disease in axolotls. There are many stress factors such as strong water current, nippy tank mates, untreated water, warm water, etc. If stressed, axolotls may lose their appetite, you may notice their tails curling, and their gills are turning forward. Reducing stress involves understanding what’s causing it and making the appropriate adjustments.
Ammonia poisoning – If your tank has too much ammonia your axolotl will suffer any or all of the following symptoms; gills curling and whitening or even falling off, red areas of skin, not wanting to eat, erosion of tip of tail and fingertips, lethargy, hemorrhages and even death. You should be checking your axolotl tank parameters regularly, and thus catch any rising ammonia levels before it gets to this point, but if these symptoms occur and you verify there’s too much ammonia in the tank all is not lost. Do a fifty percent water change, maybe even do that each day until resolved. You can reduce the ammonia by promptly removing your axolotls excrement, temporarily reducing the frequency of feedings, or with chemical.
Saprolegnia is a fungus that exists in most water sources and may effect axolotl that have a compromised immune system. Look for grey, white, or brown fuzzy growth on the gills or head and partial loss of gills. This fungus effects axolotls inside their body, so if you suspect a saprolegnia infection have a vet test and treat it. You can treat the infection by giving your axolotl salt or tea baths, and by adding potassium permanganate to the tank. Remedy any environmental issues that may be causing your axolotl undue stress. Someone has recommended Indian almond leaf tea baths daily. Do daily water changes in the tank until issue is resolved.
Impaction – A term which here means your axolotl swallowed something they shouldn’t have, such as gravel, and it’s jamming up their digestive system. Bowel obstruction can happen if axolotls ingest gravel, which will then cause obstruction in their GI tract. Constipation can also cause obstruction, and this is the reason why you should only feed them every 2-3 days.If your axolotl is refusing to eat for multiple days, is bloated, and has a low waste production, the cause is very likely an obstruction. Fridging your axolotl can help eliminate the cause of obstruction and help your axolotls recover faster.
Floating at the top of the tank is potentially a sign of constipation or bloating ( not always, axolotls sometimes do float just for fun). If floating because of constipation or indigestion, the axolotl may struggle to try to swim to the floor, but will return to the floor of the tank once the gas passes from their body ( the gas in their body makes them float ). Gas may take a few days to pass, you may want to bring your axolotl to a vet if floating continues more than 2-3 days.
Frantic swimming: could be a sign of impaction ( axolotl swallowed something it shouldn’t have ). Other signs of impaction include inability to eat and floating. Your axolotl may end up regurgitating the object it swallowed. If it needs to be removed by a vet the axolotl will be given anesthesia and the item will be removed with alligator forceps.
Injury – Axolotls can regenerate ( grow back ) most body parts, however infections still may occur. Take care to keep the tank clean to help reduce the risk of infection.
Can my kid do it?
Many parents have children that want to get a pet axolotl, and naturally a parent may think this could be an opportunity to teach kids about responsibility, and maybe even chores. How much of the care for the axolotl you may be able to have your child take care of is going to fluctuate a lot depending on age, personality, and a host of other factors. The bottom line though is that if you care that your axolotl stays alive and happy and healthy ( here’s hoping you do! ) you’re going to need to be the adult and stay on top of making sure your pet gets the care it needs.
One woman responded “I got an axolotl for my ten year old kid and sure enough ended up taking care of it pretty much entirely. Then you know what I did? I got two more!!”
If you get an axolotl for your child, be prepared for the possibility that you may need to provide all the feeding and care yourself. Teach your child though!, it’s a great way to connect and have fun together.

U.S. House to Vote on No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act!
The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to take up a major pro-life bill – the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 3) – on Wednesday, May 4, 2011. Ohio Right to Life urges you to contact the office of your representative in the U.S. House, to urge him or her to support H.R. 3 and to oppose all amendments that may be offered by opponents of the bill.
Currently, there is a patchwork of different federal laws that restrict federal funding of abortion. However, many of these restrictions (such as the well-known Hyde Amendment, which applies to the federal Medicaid program) expire every year – which forces the pro-life side to re-fight the same battles in Congress, year after year. Moreover, in a number of federal programs – notably, some major new programs created by the massive Obama health care law in 2010 – federal subsidies for abortion are currently permissible under law. H.R. 3 would replace this leaky patchwork with a permanent, government-wide prohibition on federal funding of abortion and federal subsidies for health plans that cover abortion.
The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act is sponsored by Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Congressman Dan Lipinski (D-IL), the co-chairs of the House Pro-Life Caucus. To see an always-current list of co-sponsors of the bill, CLICK HERE.
Contact your Representative today to urge support of H.R. 3! CLICK HERE to find your Representatives!

Tanyard Creek BeltLine Trail shows the way for the future
By Maria Saporta
The grand opening of a one-mile trail in Northwest Atlanta on Saturday marked the continued progress of the Atlanta BeltLine.
Idyllic weather, warm thoughts and celebratory statements set the mood as a host of leaders spoke of the wonderful asset the trail will be for Atlantans and those who live around Tanyard Creek Park, located near the intersection of Northside Drive and Collier Road.
Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, City Council President Ceasar Mitchell, Atlanta BeltLine’s Brian Leary, the city’s acting Parks and Recreation Commissioner Paul Taylor, the BeltLine Partnership’s John Somerhalder, PATH’s Ed McBrayer, Arborguard’s Spence Rosenfeld, the Trust of Public Land’s Victoria Talley and members of the Brookwood Alliance neighborhood group all spoke about what can happen when there’s partnership and cooperation.
But this project has been a long time coming. TPL’s Talley said the efforts to secure the land for part of the trail and Tanyard Creek Park date back 11 years, long before there was a plan for the BeltLine.
Much of the credit was given to the family of Louise Howard for their desire to make sure their property was preserved as green space rather than sold for development.
Saturday’s grand opening showed little of the wear and tear that neighborhood leaders, planners, PATH officials and others had to go through to find that common vision. In many ways, this could end up being one of the happiest outcomes of one of the most contentious green-oriented projects the city and its partners have taken on.
There were arguments over the possible alignment of trail, on how many trees might have to be cut down, on the potential damage to the trees left standing, the negative impact of water runoff into the creek. In short, there was no shortage of tension along the way.
“The most successful projects benefit from great partnerships,” said PATH executive director Ed McBrayer. “We learned a lot from this trail on how to be vigilant and not get too close to the stream.”
The trail was built with great sensitivity to the trees along its corridor. “They really didn’t feel it,” McBrayer said because of all the steps PATH and the city took in building the trail. Also, the trail was built so that the water would runoff away from the creek so it could go through the natural filtration process through the soil before finding its way back to the creek bed.
“I want to thank the community,” Mayor Reed told the hundred or so people who had gathered for the opening. “It was arduous, almost seven years of tough negotiations.”
The Atlanta Memorial Trail, as it is called, is the second finished mile of the 22-mile pedestrian/bicycle trail in the BeltLine plan. Another one-mile segment has been opened on the southwest quadrant.
Mayor Reed also reassured the crowd of his ongoing commitment to the transformative redevelopment initiative.
“We will absolutely finish the BeltLine,” he said. “I don’t want you to have one second of hesitation of my administration’s commitment to the BeltLine.”
And then the mayor made an announcement that brought cheers from those at the grand opening.
“In my 2011 budget, we will have $1 million just for the maintenance of the BeltLine park,” the mayor said, adding that “we are going to put our dollars where our mouth is.”
After the grand opening, the mayor spent at least 30 minutes walking the trail as it wound its way from the CSX railroad trestle through the park and underneath Collier Road.
“It’s amazing,” said Reed, who clearly was enjoying the beautiful Spring day in Atlanta and the ability to celebrate one of the real positive developments in our city.
May there be many more.
Amen. 2 miles down, 20 to go…. I hope the rest of the Beltline PATH doesn’t take 11 years. I don’t think the additional PATH trails will take that long, and for Atlanta’s sake, let’s hope not.
The NIMBY folks, who are ultimately the biggest beneficiaries of the Beltline, ironically seem to keep fighting PATH everywhere on the Northside. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.Report
My family was here at Tanyard Creek to walk along the path and play at the playground on Saturday morning and we had a great time. It’s a beautiful spot with a nice view of the creek and it’s a great place to experience Spring in Atlanta.
I look forward to the day when driving in a car and parking won’t be the best connectivity option for getting to this park for most people in Midtown. That’s certainly the case now, unless you happen to live in one of the suburban homes that surround it. It makes me wonder how much of the park space along the Beltline will end up being primarily of use to people who either drive to it in cars or live near it in low-density, detached houses.
I don’t want to be negative about progress on such a great overall project, though. I’ll have a more positive view as more Beltline trail develops in areas that are better connected to the rest of the city — and with more high-density mixed-use development — than the one surrounding Tanyard Creek.Report
Anonymous, I think when the PATH component to the beltline is built out, every one and every neighborhood that wants access to it will have it. It won’t be a preserve for only the select adjacent neighborhoods. Tanyard creek certainly is a beautiful section, and one hopes the rest of the project will be done at the same high level of quality.
The beltline will traverse high density areas as well as single family neighborhoods. Furthmore, one hopes that areas adjacent to the beltline are upzoned for higher / mixed use density, in particular the industrial areas and neighborhoods that have become mostly rental or abandoned housing.Report
The Atlanta Tree Conservation Commission helped to lessen the trail’s harmful impact on the trees through the tree appeal process prior to construction.Report

The Latest On The COVID-19 Vaccine In Utah
Hundreds of thousands of Utahns have received doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Here's what to know about availability, safety and more.
All Utahns 16 and older are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine. The state is currently distributing the two-dose Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, but has temporarily halted the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine as the federal government reviews data around six reported cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot .
People who have tested positive for COVID-19 are now encouraged to sign up for a vaccine. However, they should wait until they no longer have symptoms from their infection and have been released from quarantine.
Utahns can go to any county within the state to get a vaccine. Gov. Spencer Cox cautioned that people will be required to return to that same location for their second Pfizer or Moderna doses. Local health department information and registration for vaccine appointments is available at coronavirus.utah.gov/vaccine-distribution or the CDC’s vaccinefinder.org.
The Utah Department of Health is partnering with private healthcare providers to help distribute the vaccine. University of Utah Health, Nomi and Intermountain will help administer first and second doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, as well as the single-dose J&J vaccine.
Local health districts are also handling distribution. Utahns can sign up through their local health departments.
Organizations are required to distribute their vaccines within a week of receiving it. If they don't, their inventory will be reduced, “and extra doses will be taken and redistributed,” Cox said.
The idea is to administer the vaccine quickly in order to qualify for more from the federal government, speeding up the timeline for everyone.
Safety And Effectiveness
Vaccines from Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson have been approved for emergency use by the Federal Drug Administration. Clinical trials found the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to be close to 95% effective at preventing patients from developing COVID-19 symptoms after two doses, given 21 and 28 days apart, respectively.
The Utah Department of Health has started distributing the J&J vaccine again. The state had paused its distribution after reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that it caused blood clots in some patients. Health officials say although clotting is extremely rare, they will take safety precautions.
Despite concerns from some people that the J&J vaccine has a lower rate preventing moderate illness than the other vaccines, health officials said what’s more important is its rate of preventing severe illness and death. Officials said the new vaccine is on par with the other shots, and people should not turn down the chance to take the J&J shot.
There are short-term side effects expected with each vaccine — things like fatigue, pain where the shot was given or a low fever — some of which have reportedly been pretty severe in some patients. But infectious disease specialist Dr. Joel Trachtenberg said those are normal reactions and signs the body is priming itself to protect from the virus.
The potential long-term side effects aren’t really known, given the quick timeline, but Trachtenberg said vaccines in general are incredibly safe and historically have been the best way to control the spread of harmful viruses.
Should You Take It?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone get the vaccine, even if they are at high risk for serious complications or have already had COVID-19. Preliminary studies show the vaccines are effective against the variants of virus but more research is still being done.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said that somewhere between 70-90% of the U.S. would need to get vaccinated in order to develop herd immunity, when enough of the population is immune to a disease that those who are not are still protected.
And while some people may be skeptical of the vaccine, Dr. Eddie Stenehjem, an infectious disease specialist with Intermountain Healthcare, said the science is sound.
“We all feel that this vaccine is safe and effective,” he said. “We feel that this vaccine needs to be deployed in our health care settings and in our communities as soon as possible.”
Salt Lake County health officials said the science isn’t yet clear on how long immunity lasts after vaccination and it’s possible boosters are needed months or years later.


In a new op-ed published by The Conversation written with Robert McCabe, we discuss whether the recent hijacking of the ARIS 13 off the coast of Somalia implies a return of piracy. We argue that the incident should be understood as a warning signal and should remind us about the importance of taking the grievances of coastal communities seriously. It is available here.
Tomorrow, July 25th, marks the first African Day of Seas and Oceans. To raise awareness for African maritime security and the importance of the AIMS strategy, I have published a short comment with The Conversation. It is titled “Why fighting pirates in African waters is crucial to our security” and available here.


The U.S. Air Force has showcased the cutting-edge, rifle-mounted fire-control system during a demonstration at Beale Air Force Base, California.
The new sighting device, called the Smart Shooter, attaches to the weapon and locks on then fires to neutralize its target with or without movement.
Smart Shooter’s fire control solutions were designed to give soldiers and law enforcement officials a precision edge in any given firefight, but the systems bring a range of additional training and operational benefits, and can be employed in a wide range of roles.
Advanced, real-time scenery analysis and targeting algorithms built into the SMASH fire control system can pick out an elusive target (such as unmanned aircraft system), day or night.
The device is also being used to limit friendly fire as the weapon cannot be fired unless it is purposely locked on.
According to a 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs, Col. Andrew Clark, 9th Reconnaissance Wing commander, tested the Smart Shooter sighting device with Staff Sgt. Colton Becker, 9th Security Forces Squadron training flight, during a demonstration at Beale Air Force Base.
“The 9th SFS Airmen have been using off the shelf commercial technology to help train and improve how their missions are conducted to protect the installation,” it said in a news release.

Senators Unveil 'Protect Fox News From Eric Holder Act'
After the recent controversies over Justice Department investigations of reporters, there may be new life for a so-called "media shield" law.
A bill protecting reporters and news organizations from prosecution for publishing leaks and declining to name sources, the legislation petered out in previous congresses, but a bipartisan group of senators today stumped for a revamped version, which would codify as law the guidelines for media investigations released by the Department of Justice on Friday. It would also add new restrictions.
"[The bill] will make the Department of Justice guidelines the law of the land and go even further than the guidelines to ensure the proper balance of national security and freedom of the press," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said at a press conference today.
Schumer was joined by Democratic colleagues Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Republicans Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo.
"I'll say this is a 'Protect Fox News From Eric Holder Act,'" Graham joked, referring to the Justice Dept. investigation of Fox News reporter James Rosen.
"When you cover political people, it's OK if we get upset, but it's not OK if we use the power of the government unfairly against those who cover us," Graham said.
The new bill follows a wave of criticism leveled at the Justice Department after disclosures that it seized Associated Press phone records and email records for Rosen, both in connection to investigation of leaks that the department argued had national-security implications.
The new version would require the Justice Department to notify reporters within 90 days if they are being investigated. It would extend that requirement beyond records requests from third-party entities like phone companies, into business and credit-card records. It would also prevent the government from compelling reporters to reveal sources.
The Justice Department announced its new guidelines on Friday. Among the changes are requirements that the government give advance notice to news organizations before requesting phone records, barring "compelling reasons" identified by the attorney general. Under the new guidelines, the Justice Department will only request email records for reporters who are the subjects of criminal investigations not connected to regular news-gathering processes.
Senators expressed worry that the current DoJ guidelines, which require notification of records requests, could be changed by future administrations.
Schumer voiced optimism that the bill will pass.
"The chances of this bipartisan legislation becoming law are high," Schumer said.
The Judiciary Committee will take up the shield bill for a markup this month, Schumer said.

I have had these for a couple of months now and I can't believe the difference when towing a larger load. I was just recently sent the black heated version and they are a great match to the look of my truck. The chrome finished set was on my truck for a couple of months and is very high quality. I have included the information that is on page 7 post 138 from the manufacture below as well as a couple of pictures of my truck with the black version.
Hey guys and any girls that may be present.
I am the Product Manager for ProEFX Custom Accessories that was responsible for the design of the mirrors. I notice there are a few questions that some have that I will answer below.
2012 (i think 2011 as well) mirrors are totally plug and play, there is no need to get into the harness to source turn signal voltage
The mirrors are completely bolt on, it takes me less than 15 minutes to bolt the mirrors to the truck. If I was placing these on 2012 models installation could be done on a smoke break. Now most of you out there have torn apart your Tacoma, as I have as well. I have owned 3 of them so working on taking the door panels on and off is very simple.
For models without turn signals it takes gaining access to the red and brown power leads for the turn signal voltage. Yes, this takes a little more time since it requires sending wires through the a pillar into the door. But as said above most of us work on our trucks, it is a pretty simple task, or someone that is not as inclined may have a friend that is.
Rob commented that it took me a couple hours to wire in and find the voltage and mount the mirrors, that is conservative. Since I had to find voltage, take pictures, and it was 100 degrees out it took me a little longer. I'd say an hr to hr-1/2. THere will be an install manual included so you can find these wires in less time and the tricks that I used to make the install easier.....like remove the rubber boot from the a pillar and the door for ease of fishing wires.
You are all right, yes they are Dodge towing mirrors from 2002-2008 models. We were able to take the head from this model and incorporate the mounting surface and curve the surrport towards the side of the truck. This gives the mirror a useful stance in flip up or flip down mode without having to look like the truck has wings. If we kept at same angle the truck would look aweful. So those that are asking for measurements from base to end of mirror keep that in mind.
The passenger side mirror will have a non convex main mirror and will have the convex corner mirror. If we take and convex both mirrors it really raises hell with your eyes.
All mirrors will come heated optioned. There is really not that much in the line of cost differences to make some heated strips that glue onto the back side of the glass. So do not fear that the price will be so much more if they are heated. We are exploring the options of including all switchs and hardware versus making the mirrors and letting the end user obtain all the needed components to make them heated. I'd say cost savings either way would be +/- $10.00
Many designs will be available. Chrome will be an option as well as black. As for paint to match option this requires another tooling which will have the surface smooth. This is additonal cost which will be required. The texture of the mirror head in black is quite smooth which I would PTM with proper adhesion promoter. Many nissan cars, kia, and honda with hyundai use this method to cover multiple trim levels.
I have decided after reading this thread we will have a manual option textured without turn, and also a power option without turn signal with power. So there will be multiple trim levels available for those that are looking for the lesser optioned mirrors to suit your needs.
Quality. Highest quality. I have toured this facility to see not only our mirrors being created here but also Koolvue, Ford, and GM. Yes you read right.
Now the $1,000,000.00 answer to the questions everyone is asking right???
Now when you replace your wheels on your truck you do not clip on new wheels to make them better, nor do you like to put hub caps that are chrome on them if you like the chrome option. You go out and spend a grand or better to get the look and the functionality of the accessory you need to make the truck perform and look the way you want.
The point I am making is you can have an alternative clip on set for 75-100$ that vibrates, looks hokey but gets the job done, at the end of the day if it's PTM application scratches the paint up. Or spend some money and invest in the look and functionality that you really want. I tow all the time with my tundra. So I speak from experience, that nothing is more comfortable than being able to view the 8,000 lb lead behind me and see when backing up.
If you opt for the chrome power heated turn option I am "estimating" a "good guy" price that Rob will offer for ONLY Tacoma World members at $399.00
This would be the highest optioned mirror with the highest cost due to the tooling and chroming process and components needed
other trims below
Heated electric and textured and turn $299.00
Manual textured turn $229.00
Manual textured w/o turn $209.00
Keep patient we will have them for you soon at any branch closest to you. Get ahold of rob for details, I have our entire towing mirror line made up of 25 or better applications spread across the entire USA.
A few pics below when I installed on Rob's truck and a 2012 DC off the truck from a dealer.
ProEFX is coming out with a set of towing mirrors for the Tacoma. They are power with a manual extension, LED turn signals and heated. I got a set of prototypes they are chrome (which doesn't go with my truck) and I understand that a set will be available in black also. I'm adding a poll (hopefully) to see what you guys think of them.
Here's some pics;

This weekend I went on a canoe trip with a group of friends and had the privilege of traveling with a special companion, Traveler, also known as man’s best friend. I kept thinking of how great his name was. What a waste it would be to have such a solid name and not live up to it.
It got me thinking about how important a name is and the importance of living up to a name. We name our children, our pets, and some of us even name our cars. Careful consideration goes into a name. Take for instance, my first name, Trina. Trina was my aunt’s name, my Mom’s oldest sister. Her life was taken a few months before I was born. I feel honored to share her name. It is though I am carrying on her life, but in a new way. My middle name is Nichole. It is of Greek origin and means “victory of the people”. Both names are significant together and on their own. Two distinct names with two distinct purposes.
Names not only identify us and serve a purpose, but they also define our character. We can be negative, full of drama, hard to please, controlling or we can be loving, full of grace and mercy, forgiving, and easy going. Those names can be inviting or ones we want to avoid all together.
“A name is the blueprint of the thing we call character. You ask, What’s in a name? I answer, Just about everything you do.”
So I am curious, what does your name say about you and how are you living up to it?

In the City of Brotherly Love, eight-year-old Peter Flood helplessly watches on as his little sister is killed by a neighbor’s reckless driving. Tormented with grief and resentment, his father finds revenge as the only solution, leaving lasting generational wounds. Thirty years later, Peter still wrestles with the guilt he feels over his sister’s death and his father’s vengeance. As he tries to distance himself from the criminal family business, his cousin, Michael, becomes more powerful in the hierarchy. Bonded by blood, neither man can escape violence as they are dragged further into a chilling cycle of betrayal and retribution.
Ryan started shooting his new film provisionally called ‘Summit Fever’ in London, from there he flew to France and then to Italy where he has been shooting in ‘Mont Blanc’ (France) and now in Aoste (Italy).
The film is produced by Andrew Loveday and directed by Julian Gilbey and tells the story of a young climber who spends a hedonistic summer in Chamonix while attempting the world’s deadliest trio of mountains.
Enjoy this Ryan shoot made in 2010 for Philadelphia Style magazine.

“If you don’t give them what they want, you know what’s going to happen…” The Jokers from France has unveiled an official trailer for an indie drama titled Sons of Philadelphia, though it also goes under a few other titles including Brothers by Blood or The Sound of Philadelphia (this will apparently be the US release title). Adapted from the book “Brotherly Love” by Pete Dexter, the film is a tale of family, friendships and betrayal in the violent world of the Philadelphia mob. Focusing on two brothers, one adopted, who grew into different people. The cast is the most exciting part: Matthias Schoenaerts, Joel Kinnaman, Maika Monroe, Ryan Phillippe, and Paul Schneider. This looks extra dark and depressing. Made by a French filmmaker, so it’s opening in France first at the end of December, then will arrive in the US sometime early 2021. This trailer is still in English as the film takes place in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, PA. Thirty years ago, Michael’s family took in Peter after his father’s death, under opaque circumstances. Today, Peter & Michael are two little thugs with opposing temperaments. One is as violent and exuberant as the other is taciturn. But when Michael is designated as “embarrassing” by the Italian mafia, the family’s troubled past resurfaces…
Sons of Philadelphia, also known as Brothers by Blood and/or The Sound of Philadelphia, is directed by French writer / filmmaker Jérémie Guez, director of the film A Bluebird in My Heart previously, as well as the writer on many other scripts. The screenplay is also written by Jérémie Guez, adapted form Pete Dexter’s novel “Brotherly Love”. This recently premiered at the Deauville American Film Festival in France, and will open in France this month. The Sound of Philadelphia is currently set to open in the US in theaters starting on January 22nd, 2021 next year.
