As the Sports Car Club of America approaches its fall championship season in a trying year, the Board of Directors—following the recommendations of both SCCA staff and the Solo Events Board (SEB)—have announced the cancellation of the 2020 Tire Rack SCCA Solo Nationals due to the unique potential impacts of a 1000+ person event on both the Lincoln, NE community and SCCA members.
Northern New Jersey SCCA COVID-19 Operations Plan and Policies Updated 6/23/2020 (This might update prior to the event if restrictions change.) Notice to Participants: In light of the current COVID-19 situation, every attempt will be made to minimize the risks of exposure to the virus. New processes and procedures are being developed and will be put into place for events going forward. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to assess the risk to you, both on-track and off, and to make the decision on whether or not to participate. If you are feeling unwell or are experiencing symptoms such as fever,
To our NNJR Solo members, First and foremost, I hope you and your family are doing well in this unprecedented time as we wait at home for the State of NJ to begin opening up that so we can get out to AutoX again. Some of you may not know, but New Jersey State Police regulate all racetracks, and we fall under that umbrella. NJSP will issue us a license when we will be able to run, without that, we can be shutdown and not have insurance from the SCCA. We will have to be patient as the safety and
With the necessary precautions taken locally and nationally to ensure the safety of participants, volunteers, fans and humanity, the 2020 Tire Rack SCCA National Solo program schedule has been revamped with an eye on a return to action in the second half of the year.

Howdy, students of The Complete Autocrosser’s Manual, Not a member, Join Here. While most of us are cooped up at home with no autocrosses to attend, I hope you are using the time to keep your skills sharp in other ways. Last summer, a few of you reached out to me and asked about an audio version of the course that would be easier to listen to in the car on long road trips, or even while at home, without needing to look at the screen. Over time, several others have asked for that as well, so I am excited

There is a tension between the memory of the experience of landscape and the painting process itself and as this ebbs and flows it becomes the determinant of the work.

A day after tension erupted in Chattri Chowk area of Ujjain, police arrested five persons and registered case against total 37 persons involved in stone pelting and brawl.
Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been imposed in four police station areas including Mahakal, Jiwajiganj, Kharakua and Kotwali and administration has ordered closure of all the educational institutions till situation normalises. Shops in the area remained closed on Tuesday. The Rapid Action Force (RAF) conducted flag march in the tension prone area.
Ujjain superintendent of police Anurag informed that police registered a case against Lala Rangrej, Gabbar, Abrar, Mujeed Supariwala, Adik, Saeed and Khalique. Apart from this, cases against 30 unidentified miscreants were also registered at different police station.
Jiwajiganj police arrested Abrar, Javed alias Gabbar, Shammi, while Kharakua police station arrested Shahbaj and Naddim. Earlier, in the morning state education minister Paras Jain visited district hospital and inquired about the health of those who were either injured in stone pelting or in lathi-charge by police.
On Monday evening, trouble started when some people belonging to a particular community opposed playing of loud music during the idol immersion procession near Jama Masjid area, under Jiwajiganj police station. When people participating in the procession ignored their protest, somebody started pelting stones on the procession.

Already I'm a day behind. I've had zero energy... think I'm getting sick. I don't have time for all that, so I've been doubling up on vitamins and sucking down Emergen-C like nobody's business. We'll see how that works out.
Day 7, originally uploaded by Dirt Road South.
I took this shot this morning before heading to the coffee shop. I really like the way the fat little birdy looks.
PS: Don't take your 5 year old along when trying to photograph birds. The number of subjects diminish with each and every "PEW, PEW... I'm calling that brown one over here for you!" and "HEY! Haven't I gotten good at snapping my fingers?"
I love the way the afternoon sun casts a warm, amber glow on everything around me. Today I had a little more time on my hands to really see and appreciate the things around me. What's not to love about that?!
Better late than never, right? I did actually take the shot yesterday, but it was late and I was tired so I'm just late getting it posted here. I just couldn't get happy with anything I shot yesterday... nothing made me ooh and aah the way I like to when I feel like I've really done a good job. But close to midnight, I had a choice of uploading one of the shots I'd taken or goin out like a sucka, so I uploaded...
Cream cheese and Ms. Diane's homemade hot pepper jelly on Ritz pretzel crisps again. I can't get enough of this stuff. Anyway, this image reminds me I need to work on shooting subjects in low lighting and shooting dimly lit subjects. I'll just add that to my list of things to do...
Today was a great day! Kinda hectic, but great nonetheless. I grabbed this closeup of a scarf handmade by Shana Luke against a fabulous old cabinet at the Mocha Giraffe while we weren't too busy. I love the textures together!
Shana's Scarf... A Texture Study
The wood is the color of the afternoon sky today... a magnificent blue that accompanied higher temps than we had anticipated. Quite a pleasant surprise! Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday!
This was the view ahead of me on the way to pick up Will from school this afternoon...
Cottony Cloud Cover
I left the trees in the photo to preserve the perspective, and the photo is unedited with the exception of scaling it down to size. It was truly an awe-inspiring display. I had to keep reminding myself to keep my eyes on the road instead of my head in the clouds. Not all that unusual by any means.
Today was a lazy day. A do nothing and enjoy doing it day. A PJs til noon day. And we liked it that way. It was chilly outside, and when we finally had to get dressed and go somewhere, our wardrobe selections could hardly be considered "outfits". But we were comfortable, and we were happy. Because we were together.
Wanna walk a mile in my shoes? Pick another pair. These are my favorites.
These are my go-to shoes for days like today, and many, many other days. Some days we need comfort and familiarity to be happy. Sometimes we find ourselves in uncomfortable situations, treading on unfamiliar territory; but if we turn and run in the other direction, we may never travel our intended path to our eventual happiness. I choose to travel that path. The path may be long and happiness may not be waiting at the other end, but I'll never know unless I seek to find. I know I will learn and I know I will grow. The rest may be uncertain, but I think that's what makes it so exciting and adventurous. I may not know where my path will lead, but I plan to enjoy the journey.
a mother, an artist, a good listener, an empathizer, a problem solver, a small business owner, a proud etsian, my own worst critic, a better person today than i was yesterday because of it, very intuitive, extremely open, fiercely loyal, deep but uncomplicated, easily distracted by shiny things & pretty stuff, able to find beauty at a garbage dump, not a fan of drama or feeling like i've wasted time or people who act ugly & derive pleasure from it or bugs that bite or liver or negativity so that's enough of that. i'm finally my own boss and i couldn't be happier. welcome to my head.

One hopeful fan theory is that the CBA discussions will heat up once players start losing paychecks, but escrow earnings might ease some of the tension.
Players missed the second checks from the would-be 2012-13 season on Monday, but they got a healthy 7.98 percent of last year’s earnings – plus interest – on Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of the Canadian Press.
Johnston maps out what this means financially for a given player, so we don’t have to all that stuffy math:
The escrow payments amount to about $80,000 for every million dollars a player earned — before deductions. For example, New York Rangers forward Brad Richards grossed approximately $960,000 after being the league’s highest-paid player last season.
That could mean a nice bit of relief for players (even if that was merely money taken from last season’s checks), whether they’re making a bit of cash overseas or they’re on “kid duty” like Joe Corvo.
It certainly doesn’t ease overall worries during a week in which the 2013 Winter Classic is reportedly in danger of being canceled, though
Just like Monday night, there’s nothing new to report even if the two sides continue to speak, according to Johnston and others.

According to the UN Population Fund’s annual report which was released in Geneva on Wednesday, access to contraception is a universal human right. This is apparently the first time that the report has explicitly stated that family planning is a human right.
Now, I’m not sure on what grounds you can describe contraception a human right. But then again, I’m not sure on what grounds you can say that anything is a human right these days. It seems that you just need someone with an important sounding title (preferably from the UN) saying something is a human right, and then it just needs to get repeated enough and then BOOM! Human right created.
Of course, if something is a human right, then someone needs to pay for it so that people who don’t have that thing can get it. And that is exactly what groups in Canada are urging. As part of its foreign aid package, Canada should be “doing more to ensure contraception is readily available to women in developing countries” said Action Canada for Population and Development. Its executive director, Sandeep Prasad had this to say:
“Meeting the unmet need for contraception would reduce the number of maternal deaths by one third, and enable women and girls to claim their basic human right to decide whether, when and under what circumstances to become pregnant…Canada can and should do better on this key human rights and gender equality issue.”
Suddenly, contraception is a human rights issue and to oppose funding it is therefore to be a BAD BAD PERSON. Now, I support girls and women wanting to decide whether and when and under what circumstances they get pregnant. But if you don’t have access to birth control, and you want to plan your family, perhaps you should reconsider your decision to have sex tonight. (I hate to imagine the comments that that statement will bring…)
Interestingly, the report estimates that if 120 million more women had access to family planning services, three million fewer babies would die in their first year of life. I find this argument extremely puzzling. The reason that the babies don’t die is that they are not conceived at all. So it is a choice of death within the first year or non-existence. Obviously the report thinks that non-existence is the better alternative. (We are all doomed to die, does that mean that the authors of the report think that we are all better off never being conceived?) Now, as the father of a four week old boy I can categorically state that even if he were to die before his first birthday, God forbid, he would still have given us a lifetime of joy and love and happiness. To suggest that it would be better that he were not conceived at all is quite simply wrong. It would be painful to lose him, but I would not prefer that he never existed at all!
I think that the report is here focussing exclusively on the figures – how do we reduce infant mortality throughout the developing world? The normal person’s answer: improve health services, water and food supplies. The UN Population Fund’s answer: increase contraception so that the infants are not born. No births, no infant mortality. What a perfect solution.

After parking the car in the car park suggested – £2 for 4 hours. We headed down to the first few clues. We already did them the first time so it was just a picture with the Queen of hearts without the cold wind and rain.
Before we started…
We bought sausage rolls. We picked Lily up from Academy at 1 so we were late having lunch.
Let’s solve the murder mystery…
So we already had completed the first 5 clues. We caught up with ourselves and found the information sign we needed.
Whilst we were looking for the clue a bird poo’d on Lily’s back. Of course she enjoyed pretending to wipe it on her brothers! They were not impressed.
The next clues weren’t quite so eventful, but throughout the whole trail there were fantastic sculptures of the characters of Alice in Wonderland, carved by Simon Hedger. There is also a white rabbit trail that we are hoping to do another day to view all of the sculptures.
Lily loved the whole experience from the start. The boys took a little persuading. They did love the open spaces to be able to run and explore though.
The boys got involved once the clues were pictures. They loved trying to find the objects that we had to find.
White Rabbit and Mad Hatter, a few more beautiful carvings we saw along the way.
The murder mystery trail took us up towards the Orme and we saw some amazing views from the walk up and from the top.
More carvings at the top and beautiful mushrooms that Lily nearly fell off.
Inside the book by the Caterpillar there was a beautiful carving of Alice.
Perfect opportunity to test out my new phone on portrait mode – pretty impressed with the results.
After walking back down the Orme we walked along the pier and yet more amazing views.
Group picture at the top (with a sleeping baby!)
Murder Mystery Treasure Trail
Overall the treasure trail was amazing. The children loved every second and we found things that we haven’t seen before. The clues were fantastic, a few trickier ones for the adults and older children. Picture clues for the younger children. This trail in particular had lots of open spaces to run and play. Once completed we came home entered our answer into the website and could download a certificate and get entered into a prize draw for £100.
We can’t wait to do the next one – not sure if it will be a spy mission or treasure hunt. We will see.
Have you done a treasure trail?

Release No. 96-06
Date: March 13, 1996
DPR RELEASES ANNUAL REPORT ON GROUNDWATER TESTING FOR PESTICIDES
SACRAMENTO -- Cal/EPA's Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) today
released its annual 1995 report on the results of groundwater testing for
The report, required by the Pesticide Contamination Prevention Act
of 1985 (AB 2021, Connelly), was delivered to the Legislature this week.
It summarizes groundwater monitoring in 49 well sampling surveys submitted
to DPR between July 1, 1994 through June 30, 1995. The monitoring was
conducted by three state and local government agencies between 1993 through
1995. Among other provisions of AB 2021, government agencies that test
well water for pesticide residues must report the results to DPR.
Altogether, samples were taken from 3,322 wells in 47 of
California's 58 counties. Pesticide residues were detected and verified in
213 wells in 17 counties. This is an increase from previous years because
DPR conducted two extensive field studies in parts of Fresno and Tulare
Counties that are particularly susceptible to groundwater contamination.
Working in areas that are known to contain pesticide residues, DPR
scientists can expand scientific understanding of how climatic, soil, and
geographic data combine to influence the movement of pesticides to
groundwater. With this information, DPR plans to continue development of
pesticide use practices designed to prevent further groundwater
Of the 213 wells where pesticide residues were detected, 174 were
private drinking water wells, 18 were public drinking water wells, and 21
were nondrinking water wells.
In most cases, the levels of contamination found were well below
levels of health concern. However, in seven domestic water wells, residues
exceeded health advisory levels. Those findings were referred to the State
Department of Health Services, which can take immediate corrective action
when residues in community water wells exceed levels of health concern. In
addition, DPR may take regulatory action regardless of the level of
Most samples were analyzed for multiple chemicals. Overall, the
tests targeted a total of 166 pesticide active ingredients and breakdown
products. Of those, verified detections of nine different compounds were
made. Six of the chemicals detected were herbicides -- atrazine, bromacil,
diuron, prometon, simazine, and hexazinone. The remaining three chemicals
were pesticide breakdown products (deethyl-atrazine, deisopropyl-atrazine,
and 2,3,5,6 tetrachloroterephthalic acid). Five of the six chemicals have
been found in previous years. The sixth herbicide -- hexazinone -- was
detected and verified for the first time in California groundwater.
Hexazinone was found in four wells located in Tulare County and one well in
There were unconfirmed detections of nine other pesticides: 1,2-D,
DBCP, EDB, coumaphos, demeton, merphos, napthalene, ortho-dichlorobenzene,
and xylene. However, DPR did not conduct followup sampling to verify these
detections because the compounds are no longer registered in California or
no longer registered for agricultural or outdoor institutional use, and
therefore not subject to regulatory controls under AB 2021.
When pesticides are registered for agricultural or outdoor
institutional uses, and they are detected in groundwater, DPR investigates
to determine if the source of the residue is the result of routine
agricultural use (application to crops, for example), or a "point source"
of pollution (such as a pesticide spill into a well). In its
investigations, DPR first attempts to verify the detection by analyzing new
samples from the positive wells. Nearby wells are also tested to determine
the extent of any contamination.
After a detection is verified, the investigation focuses on whether
the pesticide reached groundwater because of routine agricultural use. If
a pesticide is only registered for nonagricultural uses, or no longer
registered, the detection is referred to the State Water Resources Control
Board for further investigation. Point sources of pollution are also
referred to the Water Board for further action.
If it is determined that routine agricultural use is the source,
DPR may establish a pesticide management zone (PMZ) around the location of
the detection. A PMZ is a geographic surveying unit of approximately one
square mile in size, designating the area as sensitive to groundwater
pollution. Once a PMZ is established, DPR initiates special restrictions
on the use of the detected chemical in the area. Actions in the past have
included revocation of permits to use pesticides, modification of use
practices to prevent groundwater contamination, or suspension of a
chemical's registration in California.
Routine agricultural use of currently registered pesticides was
determined to be the cause of pesticide residues found in groundwater for
the first time in three counties: Los Angeles, Merced, and Tehama.
Routine use was also determined to be the source of pesticides detected in
six counties where they had been found previously: Fresno, Orange,
Riverside, Los Angeles, Merced, Tehama, San Bernardino, Tulare, and Yolo.
Factors that contribute to groundwater contamination by pesticides
include amounts used and method of application, irrigation practices, the
physicochemical characteristics of the pesticide, soil type and climate.

Sergio Reguilón has revealed that Wales international Gareth Bale is a different at Tottenham Hotspur compared to his time at Real Madrid.
The on loan Los Blancos star was accused of isolating himself and refusing to speak Spanish but Reguilon says Bale, who scored his first goal this season on match-day 7 is a warm and friendly in London.
“He seems different to me,” Reguilon told Cadena Ser. “The language is everything for him. He speaks Spanish well, it’s not bad, a bit like me in English, but communication, the habits, mean he’s happier in England. I have no idea if he’ll return [to Real Madrid].
“What most surprised me is at Spurs’ training ground there are golf holes. I asked about it and they told me they were put there for him! They’re short holes, maybe 30 metres. I couldn’t believe it!”
On his working relationship with Jose Mourinho, the full-back said: “Great! I like this kind of demanding, intense coach,” Reguilon said. “When we don’t do what he wants he gets angry, like any coach, he’s really close to the players.”

Its that time of week again! Time to recap all the happenings of the 1D lads while they conquer the solo music world and thrill fans far and wide! It is nothing new for these 4, having sold millions of albums worldwide as a group, but now all the rules have changed as they take over the solo landscape.
Here is the 1D Chronicles for this week!
Harry has been dominating North America with his solo world tour for the last several weeks. Sold out shows, screaming fans, and media outlets singing his praises. But it is now time for him to take over Europe as he kicks off the next leg of his tour! The first show, headlining in Paris, and as usual he didn’t disappoint.
On a slightly different note, Harry thrilled with his latest fashion choice…a galactic theme sweater, his hair messy and hinting at the curls we love, and shades over his eyes. Needless to say, he caused quite a stir when he appeared in Paris a few days ago.
Nialler has been riding a high since the release of his solo album, as it gains rave reviews from media and fans alike (including us). He has proven himself above and beyond, exceeding all expectation and leaving us curled up with a warm blanket, a glass of wine, and Flicker to spend our evening.
Of course, he wouldnt he happy unless he sent us on a tailspin, so he released more tour dates to celebrate his record. Singapore, Japan and the Philippines are just some of the countries who can look forward to seeing Nialler on tour in 2018! Check your local ticket sites for more info and dates.
Keeping on the high of releasing his latest single, Bedroom Floor, Payno is also making sure he gives us those appearances and concerts we so sorely miss from him. It was announced this week that he will be performing at the 2017 MTV EMA awards on November 12. The show, held in London, will be yet another appearance by solo Liam, getting ready to release his solo album, which we are still waiting for more information on at this time.
We all know Tommo is a bit of a sass, and that is just one of the million things we love about him. But he isnt too proud to poke fun at himself, which is exactly what he did this week when he posted a throwback photo of himself on social. Posing with a can of Stella and a peace sign, Tommo pays homage to his teen years, well before he became part of the biggest boy band in the world. Tommo has also apparently recorded the video for the Back to You single, back in his hometown of Doncaster. We are anxiously awaiting that on our screens!

Skip to comments.Will Georgia's new restrictive law prevent abortion or just send women elsewhere?
Posted on 09/11/2019 6:30:35 AM PDT by Morgana
ATLANTA (AP) At a routine ultrasound when she was five months pregnant, Hevan Lunsford began to panic when the technician took longer than normal, then told her she would need to see a specialist.
(Above video: Groups file motion to block Georgia abortion ban)
Lunsford, a nurse in Alabama, knew it was serious and begged for an appointment the next day.
Thats when the doctor gave her and her husband the heart-wrenching news: The baby boy they decided to name Sebastian was severely underdeveloped and had only half a heart. If he survived, he would need care to ease his pain and several surgeries. He may not live long.
Lunsford, devastated, asked the doctor about ending the pregnancy.
I felt the only way to guarantee that he would not have any suffering was to go through with the abortion, she said of that painful decision nearly three years ago.
But the doctor said Alabama law prohibits abortions after five months. He handed Lunsford a piece of paper with information for a clinic in Atlanta, a roughly 180-mile (290-kilometer) drive east.
Lunsford is one of thousands of women in the U.S. who have crossed state lines for an abortion in recent years as states have passed ever stricter laws and as the number of clinics has declined.
Although abortion opponents say the laws are intended to reduce abortions and not send people to other states, at least 276,000 women terminated their pregnancies outside their home state between 2012 and 2017, according to an Associated Press analysis of data collected from state reports and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
(Excerpt) Read more at wjcl.com ...
Yes, infanticide should be one of the main campaigning issues of the Democratic Party.
It will make people think a bit more before engaging in sex, especially unprotected sex. That is not a total win, but it sets the course in the right direction.
This horrific procedure never ceases to shock me that it’s still even up for debate.
People are that wicked.
Already now they are getting shuttle buses ready to get them out of state for an abortion. They did this pre roe, only now with the internet they are more organized with more money.
They may not be doing as many abortions but they will certainly try.
I just love the way the story starts off with a rare birth defect case, as if that is representative of all abortions.
To be complete, the article could have mentioned infant hospices, which serve women and babies who have fatal birth defects, allowing the woman to give birth without subjecting the infant to the agony of abortion. Then she can spend quality time with the infant before it dies.
But pro-aborts dont want women, even those who have dying infants, to have a choice.
For the majority of women who abort, those who use abortion as their primary form of birth control, I think these laws might make them consider other, less cruel and lethal, forms of birth control.
Neither, because it is blocked from implementation by Roe v Wade.
We can’t pass laws for other states, or Chicago would be banning guns across the entire US.
But the cops SHOULD stop any such busses and make sure that they aren’t taking minors across state lines without their parents’ express consent.
they’ll go someplace else, like the ladies in Ireland did.
Women going to other states to get abortions has no bearing on whether the residents of a state should decide to make abortion (or any other heinous practice) illegal in their own state. If the residents of adjoining or other states want to make their state a bloody Mecca for abortion and infanticide, that’s on them.
Sorry, nice try, but no sympathy.
My FRiend, if they will murder an innocent baby that is part of them without thinking twice about it. What will they do to you [and me] when given [legally’ given the opportunity. We, who are neither a part of them and whom they hate. Think about it....
You make excellent points.
They couldn’t start out the story with someone who is having her second or third abortion because she won’t use birth control. The story has to be about a rare birth defect.
I thought about the hospice, too. Just because a woman gives birth to a baby with birth defects doesn’t mean that the baby has to be treated if the defects are incompatible with life.
Years ago, before I had children, I worked with someone whose wife was pregnant with their 3rd or 4th child. They found out during the pregnancy that the baby was anencephalic. She didn’t have an abortion but gave birth and they were able to spend the short time that the baby lived with him. I think that’s a very hard choice to make; I doubt anyone who has made that choice regrets it later.
Hedonists will actually move to other states.
This is why the left didn’t try to push the abortion agenda until the Supreme Court could be stacked to push Roe versus Wade through.
If the States can restrict abortion, and legalize or restrict drugs and booze as they choose then pretty soon hedonists concentrate themselves into enclaves. That’s how they increase the likelihood of finding more sexual partners for their dalliances.
In a Republic, this permanently cedes control of the upper house to family oriented monogamists.
Oh I can imagine some medieval type techniques they’d love to revel in with us if they could.

Kendall Jenner is truly a breakout star in Milan!
On Saturday, Sept. 20, Kim Kardashian’s half-sister popped up on the Bottega Veneta runway in a long, plunging black dress with elbow-length sleeves. Stylists accessorized the look with bejeweled earrings, a black envelope clutch, and, surprisingly, sneakers.
So excited to be featured in the spring 2015 event, Jenner even posted a backstage Instagram shot featuring her beauty look: bright cheeks and pink lips, courtesy of makeup artist Pat McGrath.
That same day, the budding supermodel bounced over to Pucci, where she walked the runway in a ‘70s-inspired halter dress in a psychedelic print. In contrast to her Bottega Veneta makeup, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star rocked a bronzed beauty look and long, loose waves.
Then, on Sunday, Sept. 21, Jenner made her last appearance of the weekend: in Dolce & Gabbana. At the debut of this collection, inspired by the Spanish influence in Sicily between 1516 and 1713, the brunette beauty wore a beautiful black minidress with netted sleeves, embroidered from the neck down with red roses. A small bag and bloom-boasting booties completed the look.
To close the show, the PacSun T-shirt designer changed into a white button-down and high-waisted red short-shorts, also with floral embroidery, a look all the models wore to stomp down the stage, army-style, for the finale.
Each model’s face looked especially fierce in those final moments, thanks to femme fatale expressions and McGrath’s (here again at Dolce) application of Dolce & Gabbana Shaping Eyebrow Pencil in Chestnut for bold brows and Matte Lipstick in Dolce Desire for vampy lips (coming soon).
Complementing the makeup artist’s work, Redken creative consultant Guido tucked a red rose a la Sicilians into each model’s chignon. “This [hairstyle] is very classically Dolce. It’s very soft, pretty and feminine—how girls want to look,” said the hairstylist. “It could look severe, but I’m [combing through the messy bun] with my fingers to make it much softer for an overall feeling that’s very rich and luxurious,” he added.

Resistance in your community, across the country, and around the globe
- Stand with Native American tribes as they march in Washington, DC and in localized actions nationwide
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and Indigenous grassroots leaders called on allies across the U.S. and around the world to peacefully March on Washington D.C. today, asking that people rise in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples of the world whose rights protect Unci Maka (Grandmother Earth) for the future generations of all.
- More details and event info here.
- The social media hashtag #NativeNationsRise
- Fight back to protect GOP attempt to destroy Medicaid
The Republicans’ new bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and gut Medicaid is a disaster. Insurance premiums and deductibles would rise. Families would pay more for less. You, your family or your neighbors may not be able to get needed care. “With enough pressure, we can kill their bill before it kills us.”
- Tell your Rep: Don’t take away our health care (via People’s Action)
- Call your lawmakers directly with the same demand
- Demand your lawmaker fight back against Republican attack on nation’s healthcare system
- Call your member of congress now. (Indivisible has provided a sample script here.)
- Daily Action is also organizing calls aimed at House Speaker Paul Ryan here
- Sign up to attend a ‘People Power’ training this Saturday (Tomorrow — 3/11)
On March 11, the ACLU is holding a Resistance Training. This event will launch People Power, the ACLU’s new effort to engage grassroots volunteers across the country and take the fight against Donald Trump’s policies not just into the courts, but into the streets. We’re organizing grassroots events in communities across the country to watch the livestream together. More info here.
- Check out NiftyFifty, which allows you to call your members of Congress while encouraging others to join your network and do the same
Fifty Nifty is a grassroots challenge to participate in democracy by building a network of friends that make calls to congresspeople in all 50 states. Live phone calls are the best way to directly express your opinion on an issue to your elected officials. Your mission is to pass this along to friends who will make calls and also pass the link along to others who will do the same. It’s a social chain letter and a call to action for a better participatory democracy. Call and tell others to do the same. We’ll help you make the call and express your message.

Cutout swimsuits may not be the best for tan lines, but they sure do make for a sexy beach or pool look. From Kourtney Kardashian to her little sis, Kylie Jenner — these stars and more know-how to model sizzling cutout swimsuits!
There’s nothing hotter than flaunting some skin in a sexy cutout swimsuit and plenty of stars are fans of the look. From sultry slits in two-piece swimsuits or caged cutouts in amazing one-piece suits, your favorite stars are loving this trend! Take a look through our attached gallery for the best cutout swimsuits on Hollywood’s hottest stars!
The Kardashian-Jenner sisters, in particular, can’t get enough of flaunting their famous curves in bathing suits that allow them to show off their hard-earned bodies. Kourtney Kardashian, 40, is a lover of the fabulous look, wearing black one-pieces with intriguing side cut-outs to flaunt her toned torso while not having to put on a bikini. She once wore a peek-a-boo gold number that featured a bandeau top and bikini bottoms, linked together with a strip of fabric up her torso. What a hot mama!
Kylie Jenner, 21, has taken a cue from her older sisters in both one-pieces and bikinis. She’s rocked a white tank swimsuit with tons of side-slits to give it a much racier look. The lip kit mogul knows how incredible her curves are and makes the most of her body even in cut-out bikinis, with slits on the sides of her bottoms and strappy tops that up to the va-va-voom factor.
Singers know how to get the most of the sexy swimwear. Selena Gomez, 27, has been known to be a fan of cut-out swimsuits, wearing a black one-piece with a strip of fabric up her torso and nude panels up to the sides while on vacay in Mexico several years ago. Ciara, 33, rocked a gorgeous yellow one-piece with a giant cutout panel to flash her flat abs while taking in some pool time in 2015. Even superstar Beyonce, 37, is a fan of the look. When she famously went vegan in 2015, she showed off the results in a black one-piece with colorful patterns and two massive side cut-outs to show off her super trim waist.
Emily Ratajkowski, 28, wore a black bathing suit with a cut-out halter top while vacationing in Italy in 2015. Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara, 47, rocked an a-maz-ing black and white Agent Provocateur number while getting some sun in Miami. It featured a bikini-like top then crisscrossed with fabric down her tummy.

Sofia Richie shows off her incredible beach body in a new campaign for Frankies Bikinis. The 20-year-old model, girlfriend of Scott Disick and daughter of singer Lionel Richie, struts her stuff as she plays the role of California girl in a series of sexy two-pieces. The Frankies Bikinis x Sofia Richie collection launches on July 8, 2019, and the collection consists of 10 swimwear pieces available in pink and blue tie-dye prints, ranging in price from $85 — $100USD. Francesca Aiello, Founder and Creative Director of Frankies Bikinis explained: ‘When dreaming up the perfect “it” girl to collaborate with, Sofia instantly came to mind — she exudes such confidence and femininity. ‘Working with Sofia on this collection and then bringing it to life in our campaign shoot was a breeze. Our personal style and taste link up perfectly and I think that had something to do with the fact that we both grew up living the typical California girl lifestyle.’. 02 Jul 2019 Pictured: Sofia Richie models the new Frankies Bikinis x Sofia Richie collection, which launches on 8 July, 2019.

Celebrities Who Started Dating After Years of Friendship: From Shawn and Camila to Kim and Kanye
Written in the stars. Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and more celebrities went from just friends to something more over the years. In fact, some of the strongest relationships in Hollywood began on platonic terms.
West and Kardashian did not start dating until 2012, but they first crossed paths nearly a decade earlier. “I met him I think in 2002 or 2003,” the KKW Beauty founder said during the Keeping Up With the Kardashians 10th anniversary special in 2017. “He was recording a song with Brandy, and I was her friend. I vividly remember hanging out with him, and then they did a video together, so I’d see him a few times. He was asking his friends: ‘Who is this Kim Kardajan?’ He didn’t know what my name was.”
The rapper quickly became acquainted with the reality star, leading to a long friendship that saw Kardashian wed to another man. She and Kris Humphries tied the knot in August 2011, but their short-lived marriage did not eliminate her bond with West.
“Right before I got married to Kris Humphries, [Kanye and I] were talking, and I just went a different direction,” she explained. “I think I had to go through that to figure out what I wanted. After my breakup, I was feeling really low and down and he said, ‘Just come to Paris and see my fashion show.’ He jokes that he put on this whole fashion show just to get a date with me. So I went there and I stayed with him, and that’s where we started dating. I swear from the moment I landed, I fell madly in love with him and I thought, ‘Oh, my God, why didn’t I do this sooner?’ Like, this is what real life is like — love and fun and real support.”

For those that aren’t familiar with you; Tell us who is Maria Harper?
I am a woman who loves and trust God. I am passionate about people and especially children, because they are our future. I love fashion design, it is my passion and I wouldn’t have chosen any other career. Most of my designs come to me in my dreams; therefore it is a thrill to see them come to life. Once I see the designs in my mind, it grows as I start putting the designs together.
What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion is everything. If a person looks great they feel great about themselves. I enjoy creating designs that can express a personal style, giving a person that extra boost of confidence they may need to take on the world.
What was the first article of clothing you ever designed?
I remember it like it was yesterday, I made a jumper dress with a blouse for myself at age 8, with the assistance of my mother who taught me how to sew, of course.

I have had the pleasure of working with many celebrities across the country on several personal, film, TV, theater, & film projects; creating everything from clothing to interiors to costumes (including the shocking bird costume worn by CeeLo Green for the Grammy’s in 2011). Many people are surprised to know that my brand has grown significantly without advertising; projects that have come my way have been solely based on word-of-mouth, which is, I think, a great accomplishment!

I prefer to construct the design as it is mapped out in my mind. I like to do sketching when working with a client one on one.

Count on Me by Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans is in a league of its own. I cannot listen to it without getting goose bumps. How precious is the friend who says, “You can count on me. We’ll get through this. Just don’t give in”.
Local to the Charlotte area? Please join me for grace*ologie’s September brunch and mini-conference, Sisterhood: Embracing Biblical Friendship. We will have a conversation about God’s plan for connecting and cultivating authentic and lasting friendships.
Not local? Please register to receive our updates and we’ll make sure you get all the great information and resources from the event.
I am so excited about the upcoming Sisterhood event. (Details and registration) My new friends, Leah and Kimberly, helped me collect some classic songs about friendship. What’s your favorite friendship song? Here are our top 10.
1. You Got A Friend by James Taylor
2. With a Little Help from My Friends by The Beatles

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not to feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That is what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is. – Jim Morrison
I had a wonderful time with lots of fabulous ladies at the July grace*ologie gathering! View the event photos here.
The Sigmon Stringers are a fantastic three-generation bluegrass band from Newton, NC. Two of their members, Ray and Randy, so kindly shared their wonderful talents with me on my album, Trouble the Water. The band will be playing The Spring Bluegrass Festival at the Historic Murray’s Mill in Catawba, NC on Saturday June, 8. If you are nearby – stop in to hear them. You’ll be glad you did!
The great thing that strikes you on looking back is how quickly you have come-how very brief is the span of life on this earth. The warning that one would give, therefore, is that it is well not to fritter it away on things that don’t count in the end; nor on the other hand is it good to take life too seriously as some seem to do. Make it a happy life while you have it. That is where success is possible to every man. – Sir Robert Baden-Powell
As I move forward toward 2013, I’ve spent the last several days organizing my life, packing up the remnants of 2012, and reflecting on the highlights of the past year.

Here are some of my highlights from 2012. What is on your highlight reel?
My son’s Induction Day at the Naval Academy. I was so proud and worried!
Weekends with my grandson doing cool grandma stuff.
Going back to grad school means spending time with my favorite gamecock (and sharing her meal plan).
Recording and releasing my first album – a dream come true. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being in the studio!
The cd release party was a blast!
The grace*ologie events are always a blessing.
A brother and sister reunion. (In the backseat of mom and dad’s car we quickly regressed back to our childhood!) I miss these guys.
My friend, Donna, has the heart of an artist. I love her free spirit and how she embraces life with an open spirit of joy and expectation. She is always discovering cool stuff. I love it when she shares her inspiring, beautiful (and sometimes wacky) finds with me. Today I am sharing one of our favorite videos, “happy people dancing on planet earth”, with you. It features Matt Harding dancing with people from all over the world. I hope it brings a smile to your face and joy to your day!

Agriculture is an activity that keeps you in close contact with nature, allows you to burn calories and cultivate great satisfaction. On this page we will see some tips for start a vegetable garden from scratch,at home or in the garden.
How to grow a vegetable garden in the garden, on the terrace or balcony
The first thing to do is to find a space to set up ours vegetable garden. The chosen space must be suitable for growing vegetables and greens, it is therefore important that there is a sufficient amount of sunlight, the ideal would be an area with a daily exposure of about 6-8 hours, even if it is an indicative figure as the need for light varies according to the region of residence. The more the location is optimal, the more the garden will have the chance to flourish!
It doesn't matter if you mean cultivate a vegetable gardenin the open field, on the terrace or balcony, the main ingredients for cultivate a vegetable garden I'm:
- little wind,
- soil that does not allow water stagnation
- good quality seeds.
Cultivating a vegetable garden: seeds and sowing
Regarding the seeds, these must be purchased from a trusted nursery. If you buy them in a supermarket, check the deposit date and not the "expiration" date; seeds rarely have an expiration date but it must be said that if they are very old, they will hardly give life to good quality plants.
Once you have purchased the seeds, you can make them sprout between damp paper napkins or placing them, together with some wet cotton wool, in the classic cardboard boxes for eggs. There are some vegetables that must be sown by broadcasting, in this case a preliminary germination will not be necessary: the seeds can be "scattered" on the cultivation soil. In addition, if the weather permits and the temperatures are optimal for that particular cultivar, it will be possible to sow in the open field by spacing the seeds as required for the planting of adult plants. In summary, when it comes to thesowing of the vegetable garden, you have three main possibilities:
- sowing in rows
- sowing in holes
For all information about the depth at which to bury the seeds, the sowing methods listed above, we refer you to the article“How to sow in the open ground or in a seedbed”.
Sowing and vegetable garden in pots
Even those who cultivate the vegetable garden in pots (on the balcony or terrace), can choose between the different sowing methods. It does not necessarily have to go through cellular containers and indoor sowing. If the containers are sufficiently large (such as rectangular planters), it can even broadcast seed!
Broadcasting is well suited to rocket, baby lettuce, parsley and many herbs.

Soil management is profoundly different between those who cultivate the vegetable garden in pots and those who do it in the garden. In the open field, preliminary soil preparation work will be required, especially if that soil has never been used for vegetable garden cultivation or has even been trodden on for a long time and therefore rich in hard clods. In these circumstances you will have to arm yourself with a hoe (or motor hoe) and follow our guide dedicated toHow to make soil fertile.

To grow a vegetable garden at home (on the balcony or terrace) you have to pay close attention to the irrigation water, you risk excessively alkalizing the soil using that from the tap, so organize yourself with rainwater to collect in basins.

Those pesky nubs represent sprouts. At this point do not throw away the potatoes but cut them with a knife, get small pieces without damaging the sprouts.
The fragments of potatoes, thus obtained, represent the beginning of yours vegetable garden. Place them in the fertile soil to a depth of at least 5 cm. Potatoes, depending on the climate of their territory, can be planted from January to March.
Like potatoes, garlic cloves with a green shoot can also be buried and cultivated; same goes for onions. In this way you will obtain plants ready to grow at no cost.

Ridge Racer V is the first game on the PlayStation 2. The graphics looks much better than the PSone version and the Nintendo 64 version. The gameplay is a lot smoother than the PSone and Nintendo 64. This is not an Arcade game, not any more. This game has a story line in it. This game is about racing the 5 tournaments. You have to come in first place in each race you are in. The controls are easier than in the PSone version. This is my second favorite Ridge Racer game. I like to play a lot.
I love playing this game because I like to drift. You will get to drift quite a bit in this game. I love drifting. Drifting is a more fun than a driving tour. The graphics is way better than the PSone. The PSone graphics are too blocky. I love the details of the cars and I like the winning girl in this game. You get the winning girl in the opening. The winning girl is not 2D any more. You get to see her in 3D. This winning girl looks like one those female characters from Soul Calibur. Well, this game is done by NAMCO, and NAMCO did Soul Calibur as well.
I like gameplay of this game. The gameplay in this game is a lot smoother than the PSone. The PSone gameplay is not good at all, but this one it runs smooth as kitten’s purr. You can use the PSone controller in this, but it does not work all that well. One thing I hate about this, is that you can’t chose many cars this time. In this game, you only get the car that the game gives to you. The car in the game is really not all that good, but if you keep winning some races, your car gets better. If you played the Ridge Racer games on the PSone or If you played Ridge Racer 64 on the Nintendo 64, you will love this Ridge Racer game. It is called Ridge Racer V.

ISU Professor Emeritus Beverly Klug publishes new book ‘Riding on the Sun: Surviving and Thriving with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)'
July 19, 2017
POCATELLO – Idaho State University College of Education Professor Emerita Beverly Klug has published a new book “Riding on the Sun: Surviving and Thriving with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)” that is a chronicle of her recovery following a traffic accident.
Klug is the author of two other books and many chapters and journal articles in the field of education. Her new book is an invaluable resource for anyone touched by TBI. Co-authors Mark Corgiat and Theresa Ross add to understandings about TBI causes and its effects.
Throughout her recovery and the years following, she learned a great deal about human brains and the impacts of brain injuries on all areas of cognition. She learned how to adjust her workload and teaching to accommodate her disabilities. She had to be honest and open with her students about what had happened to her and re-teach herself in areas affected by her injuries.
As with all TBIs, Klug’s home life was negatively impacted as she could not continue to take on the same load as before. While functioning normally on the outside, she was experiencing the terrible impacts of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on the inside. Operating in a world that seemed as alien as another planet was an everyday challenge for several years.
Friends, families, and professionals will benefit from this book as it provides a view of what it feels like on a daily basis to be part of, and yet not part, of a familiar landscape. The good news is that TBI survivors can develop resiliency while needing to readjust their ways of thinking, learning, and doing. While they may not appear to be the same to those who knew them best prior to their TBIs, they can again learn how to thrive in their new lives with all their uncertainties.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Klug’s inspiring and informative story is a must-read for families, friends, and caregivers of anyone who has suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Readers who wish to experience this illuminating work can purchase “Riding on the Sun: Surviving and Thriving with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.
The book can also be ordered by calling Page Publishing at 866-317-2708 and choosing option 4. Additional information and media inquiries can be made to this phone number.

Sam Huff, the hard-hitting Hall of Fame linebacker who helped the New York Giants attain six NFL title video games from the mid-Nineteen Fifties to the early Nineteen Sixties and later grew to become a preferred participant and announcer in Washington, died Saturday. He was 87.
Huff family lawyer Deborah Matthews advised The Associated Press that Huff died of pure causes in Winchester, Virginia.
Huff all the time might be remembered because the ferocious center linebacker in a 4-3 scheme developed for him by fellow Hall of Famer Tom Landry, his defensive coordinator with New York and later the architect of the Dallas Cowboys‘ rise to energy.
Raised in West Virginia in coal mining nation, Huff grew to become a two-time All-Pro in a profession that spanned from 1956 to 1969. His main remorse was profitable just one of the title video games through which he performed, the championship in his rookie season when the Giants crushed the Chicago Bears 47-7 at Yankee Stadium.
“Sam was one of the greatest Giants of all time. He was the heart and soul of our defense in his era. He almost single-handedly influenced the first chants of ‘Defense, defense’ in Yankee Stadium,” Giants group president John Mara stated in a press release.
Huff was chosen because the NFL’s prime linebacker in 1959. He went to 5 Pro Bowls, 4 with the Giants and one with Washington, taking part in in an period when he often crashed into the likes of Jim Brown, Jim Taylor and different bruising working backs.
The baby-faced Huff additionally grew to become the primary NFL participant featured on the duvet of Time journal, showing on Nov. 30, 1959.
“The Twentieth Century,” a documentary tv program hosted by Walter Cronkite on CBS that started within the late Nineteen Fifties, as soon as broadcast a bit on him titled, “The Violent World of Sam Huff.” Huff wore a microphone throughout apply and an exhibition recreation for the piece.
Drafted out of West Virginia within the third spherical in 1956, Huff performed for New York from 1956 to 1963. He was traded to Washington earlier than the 1964 season and performed there for the subsequent 4 seasons. He retired after the 1967 season, sat out the next yr and returned for a remaining season with Washington in 1969 as a player-coach below Vince Lombardi.
When Huff was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1982, he stated soccer gamers cannot be discouraged and won’t give up, even when crushed in a recreation. He believed in truthful and onerous play.
“He may not be in all-American, but he is an example of the American way,” Huff stated in his induction speech. “He is judged not for his race, nor for his social standing, or not for his finances, but by the democratic yardstick of how well he blocks, tackles and sacrifices individual glory for the overall success of his team.”
After his taking part in profession ended, Huff discovered one other behind the microphone.
Huff spent three seasons working as a coloration commentator for the Giants on radio earlier than shifting over to an analogous job with Washington, the place he spent 38 years calling video games, beginning in 1975.
From 1981 to 2012, his broadcasting accomplice was a former Washington teammate, quarterback Sonny Jurgensen. They referred to as all three of Washington’s Super Bowl titles.
“Anyone who knew Sam knew what an amazing person he was,” WFT homeowners Tanya and Dan Snyder stated in a press release. “He was an iconic player and broadcaster for the franchise for over 40 years and was a great friend to our family. He represented the franchise with honor and respect on the field and in the booth and was beloved by our fans. Tanya and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to all of Sam’s family and friends during this time.”
Huff was an every-down linebacker. He had the willpower and energy to tackle energy working backs of that point and had the pace to cowl backs on cross routes. He had 30 interceptions, 17 fumble recoveries and 5 touchdowns.
Coming out of school, Huff did not have a simple transition to the NFL. The Giants used him initially as an offensive deal with, therefore the No. 70 that he all the time wore.
Huff did not really feel comfy there, and shorty after coaching camp opened in 1956, he obtained fed up and left. Lombardi, then a Giants assistant coach, caught him on the best way to the airport and satisfied him to come back again, suggesting it could be higher than the coal mines of West Virginia.
Landry finally developed a 4-3 protection, which was a greater match for the cellular Huff, and he was switched to center linebacker, behind Ray Beck. Landry used to have the rookie come to his condominium in New York, and they might spend nights discussing defenses.
Huff discovered and developed a capability to learn performs and disrupt them. When Beck was damage on Oct. 7, 1956, Huff took over — and the remaining grew to become half of his Hall of Fame story.
“He was an outstanding player on the gridiron and an even greater man off the field,” Pro Football Hall of Fame president Jim Porter stated.
Robert Lee “Sam” Huff was born in a mining camp in Edna, West Virginia, on Oct. 4, 1934. His father and two of his brothers labored within the coal mines, and Huff lived in a small row home with no working water.
Huff was a two-way lineman in highschool and went to West Virginia, the place he performed guard as a sophomore and deal with in his remaining two years.
After retiring as a participant, Huff coached for a yr with Washington in 1970. He quickly took a job in advertising with Marriott and labored there till 1998.
