The Role and Impact of Librarians in the History and Development of Public Legal Education in Canada Kirsten Wurmann Librarian, Legal Resource Centre May 25, 2009 – CALL conference
The motivation • The process • The results • What now?
The motivation The Radical Promise of Public Legal Education
The motivation The Role of Librarians I believe that librarians are one missing link in the chain, the network, which will someday make legal information readily available and understandable to all Canadians. (Meg Richeson) http://librarianavengers.org/worship-2/
The process • Methodology • Qualitative: my experiences and understanding of the field as a PLE librarian enabled me to interpret and make sense of what I saw and read.
The process • Examination of historical public legal education collections from: • the Legal Resource Centre of Alberta, • the Canadian Legal Information Council (CLIC), • the Department of Justice Canada, and • the Legal Services Society of B.C.
The process • Literature Review • scanned and considered each resource for particular information that addressed the following areas of interest: • The librarians themselves; • Their unique roles and responsibilities; and • Their role in creating public access to legal information over the course of 30 years
The process • Annotated Bibliography • not meant to be completely comprehensive but rather a selected list of resources relating to the role and impact of librarians in the field of public legal education (PLE) in Canada.
Challenges • Librarians are doing the work – not writing about it • Pioneers are retiring. Memories fade. Papers are lost. • Positives • Sandra Garvie Memorial Collection • Diane, San San and Lois know everyone
The results • PLE librarians developed innovative ways to provide reference and referral, and created resource materials specifically designed for the public http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
The results • PLE librarians pushed for plain language resources to overcome obstacles of legal language and text-heavy resources Cartoon from: http://www.plainlanguageaustralia.com
The results • PLE librarians created access using: • different modes of delivery like the telephone • computers • electronic forums (PLEI-Net) • the internet
What now? • Publishing • Funding issues • More research!
I am involved on a day to day basis, and committed to the idea that the public has a right to demand access to information on the law – increased, improved and widely available access to information – which is a right and not a privilege – to be granted or withheld by governments, or by our social and cultural institutions. (Gail Dykstra)

Wiz ‘N’ Liz was developed by Raising Hell Software for the Amiga and Sega Megadrive only and was first published by Psygnosis in 1993. It is a side-scrolling collecting game with cute graphics and jolly music and can be played one or two-player.
This 1992 release from Virgin Games is one of a number of video game adaptations of James Cameron‘s famous 1984 sci-fi film, The Terminator.
This particular adaptation was developed by British company Probe Software and is a fairly standard – though fun and playable – run and gun game, flicking through all the major settings of the movie with cut scenes in-between.
A weird mix of 3D exploration and point-and-click adventure, Normality was developed and published by Gremlin Interactive in 1996.
In some respects Normality is the predecessor to Realms of the Haunting – a 1997 release from Gremlin. Both games use the same game engine, and gameplay-wise they also share a lot of similarities.
A direct follow-up to Castle Master, published by Incentive Software in 1990 and again using the Freescape Engine – one of the earliest 3D game engines.
The fourth Freescape game, Castle Master, was developed – not by Major Developments this time – but by Teque Software Development. It was published by Incentive Software in 1990.
The Sega Master System port of Jordan Mechner‘s classic Prince of Persia was published by Domark in 1992. And in truth: it’s a bit hit and miss.
It looks alright, but the main character’s movement isn’t up to scratch, which is sacrilege.

Dubai: More than 8.5 tons of meat and foodstuffs unfit for consumption have been seized and destroyed in Mecca, local media reported.
Mecca Municipality said that it has seized the spoiled foodstuff during field inspection campaigns, which also resulted in shutting down 41 businesses, including food outlets, catering kitchens, and restaurants.
About 4.5 tons of meat and poultry of unknown source that appeared spoiled were seized in addition to more than 4 tons of vegetables and various unsuitable foodstuffs.
This is in addition to fines against 21 facilities, such as kitchens, slaughterhouses, food stores, and warehouses.
The municipality’s supervisory teams said they have implemented statutory sanctions regulation in addition to the municipal penalties and fines against the violators.

I cut the chard back a few weeks ago. It was looking rather ragged after the summer heat. I think the hot weather makes it more bitter than usual so I hadn’t been picking any.
It’s very happy with the cool weather now and is coming back nicely.
It will grow all winter if I let it. I dug it … Continue reading.....
Now that the weather is cool the chard is coming back.
Some of the tomatoes are struggling to ripen but the Roma’s are thriving.
Also, now that the weather is cool, I’m willing to use my oven again.

In a Presidential Memorandum issued last Friday, President Obama has authorized the admission of up to 80,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2011, which is pretty similar to the admissions numbers for recent years. “Refugees” are defined as people who are outside their country of origin and have a well-founded fear of return to their homeland. Internally displaced persons (IDPs), who have been forced from their homes but are still within the borders of their own country, do not qualify as refugees, and–with some exceptions–cannot come to the U.S. as refugees.
The distinction between refugees and IDPs has always struck me as somewhat arbitrary. For example, it doesn’t get much attention, but according to UNHCR, there are over 3 million IDPs in Columbia. This is significantly more than the number of IDPs displaced from more well-known conflict areas like Darfur (2 million) and Iraq (2.6 million). The refugee admissions numbers do almost nothing to assist IDPs.
The only exceptions actually written into the law are for IDPs from Iraq, the former Soviet Union, and (surprise, surprise) Cuba. Also, U.S. embassies are authorized to designate certain IDPs as refugees, but only in “exceptional circumstances.” This means that–for example–Tutsis in Rwanda in 1994 would not qualify for admission to the U.S. as refugees by virtue of the fact that they are still in their home country. Ditto for Jews in Germany during World War II.
I’m not necessarily advocating increasing the number of refugees admitted into the U.S. every year (though I do think we can probably admit more than 80,000, which is less than 0.02% of the 42 million people displaced by conflict). That should be a function of world-wide need and our ability to pay for and absorb the refugees. It is determined by Congress and the President. However, I do think we should consider including IDPs in the pool of potential refugees that will be admitted into our country. If a person really can demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution in his country, he should not be prevented from resettling in the U.S. merely because he has not managed to escape from his home country. IDPs and refugees should be treated the same for purposes of resettlement.

Department of Rural and Community Development
909. To ask the Minister for Rural and Community Development the present maximum adult islander fare charged on subsidised island ferry services; the increase or decrease in this in the past five years; the number of islands that have subsidised and non-subsidised ferry services operated by different operators on the same routes to islands; the names of the islands that have such services; if she intends on decreasing the islander fares charged to travel to and from the islands; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [39027/22]
As the Deputy is aware, my Department currently manages a suite of contracts covering 26 transport services to 19 separate off-shore islands. These lifeline services ensure that the island communities can avail of reliable, affordable, year round connectivity to the mainland.
Contracts for these subsidised passenger and cargo services are procured by the Department of Rural and Community Development on the open market through the e-tenders procurement process. This ensures that all providers are treated equally and that the selection process is fair and transparent for all.
To ensure that a subsidised service remains affordable for the duration of an agreed contract, the Department sets maximum fares that an operator can charge visitors and islanders respectively for using the service. Each operator is free to set their own prices up to the maximum rates specified within the contract.
The islander rates represent a significant discount – up to 67% in some cases – compared to the standard visitor rates, in order to ensure that the services are affordable for island communities at all times of the year.
The maximum rates vary across the 26 services managed by this Department. Within the contacts currently in place, the present maximum islander rates range from €5 to €12. The comparable maximum rates for visitors range from €6 to €30, meaning visitors pay at least 20% more than islanders and in many cases the visitor rates are significantly higher than the islanders rates.
The maximum rates for most services have not changed in the past five years. The maximum rates applying to each contract are set out in advance of each service being procured and form an integral part of the contract for each service.
As the Deputy will appreciate, any unilateral action to alter the terms of the existing contracts could represent a breach of contract and bring the entire procurement process into disrepute, which could have a detrimental impact on the ongoing operation of these vital services.
My Department will continue to examine ways of ensuring the affordability and sustainability of island transport services, both within existing contracts and in future.
My Department does not maintain any data in relation to non-subsidised ferry services. The Marine Survey Office (MSO) in the Department of Transport may be in a position to provide the Deputy with the information requested in this regard.

Detached is a space exploration game that requires strategic play to progress through the game and through space. While accomplishing a multitude of tasks you must monitor oxygen and fuel levels closely. With a stunningly beautiful first person campaign and a multiplayer mode, Detached provides ample value and a one of a kind experience on the PSVR.
Quick Notes Genre: Space Exploration Controller: Dual Shock Price:$24.99 Game Length: 3 hours PlayPSVR Score: 6.5
A space exploration game has obvious benefits in PSVR, as the environments, the vastness of space and overall revelation of how small we truly are will really translate into virtual reality. I was so excited when Detached came out because it harnessed what it is like to be in space along with the eerie nature of nothingness. Detached delivers wonderfully on some of my expectations, but surprisingly fails in a couple more.
There is a small plot associated with this game, told via comic style cut scenes. I found this style odd, but nothing I am too upset with. Without spoiling anything, you are outside the space craft, doing some work, you find that it is undone (mysteriously I might add) and now you have to head out and explore. It's nice that there is some plot, although simple rather than just shooting you out into space with no real reasoning behind it. The plot also gives and reveals things that are a little unsettling and add a sense of terror and anticipation to the game too.
The controls are a huge factor of how much you will enjoy the game. There are 3 difficulties, but really these are just different locomotion options ranging from slow but easy to grasp to nearly impossible. This is where I say that if you get motion sick, you are gonna want to pass on Detached. I have never ever gotten sick from any type of motion sickness and about 35 minutes of straight play got me a little loopy. However, it is really fun, don't get me wrong. It really is like you are in zero gravity. Every movement is very slow and everything has to be calculated ottherwise you will waste a ton of time.
This is both a blessing and a curse. One one hand, yeah I want a realistic exploration simulator and it is awesome that if I had to guess what it is like in space this is it On the other hand, to do anything (and I mean anything) this is a constant battle you will have to deal with. Even just moving across the room or floating in space having to move out of an asteroids path takes mental energy. I have never seen a game where I had to try so hard to move. It isn't for everyone certainly, but I see the value in it.
So with a subtitle of "space exploration game" you could probably guess that the game is all about exploring. You will float through space, investigate various shuttles, solve simple puzzles and just enjoy space. That is if you don't suffocate or run out of fuel. This is another constant battle that you will face. Your fuel and oxygen deplete every second so you have to be sure to keep your eyes peeled for reserves otherwise you will die from either ailment. Thankfully they are fairly generous with the resources, so it's not like you are constantly terrified and on high alert for that next fuel tank. It's spread out well enough where you can enjoy the game without constantly worrying about it.
The game itself is very beautiful. The game area is outstanding and really encompasses the beauty of space while preserving the nothingness that I feel space would provide. The planets, asteroids, etc are very detailed and simply wonderfully designed. The graphics are great and this enhances the play of the game and motivates you to get out there and explore. This is my favorite aspect of the game because many times I just floated in space and observed. It was insane yet terrifying just being there all by myself and essentially floating to my death. I have to give them big time credit for the atmosphere they created here.
So I have had nothing but good things to say thus far. However, we have one huge problem and one minor inconvenience to talk about. The inconvenience is that there are a lot of load screens. I find this odd. I know games like Resident Evil 7 and Skyrim also had tons of load screens but they were much longer games. But those are the only VR games with that many load screens that I can think of. The good thing is that the load screens in Detached don't last long. Just something I noticed and like I said, it isn't a deal breaker but a minor inconvenience.
Now for the big boy. I find the game extremely boring. I mean boring to tears. The first time I played at the 40 minute mark I had to stop. I mean I pushed myself to play that long. I know it is exploration, but there is no real direction on what to do or where to go and there is no one to kill. Nothing really to do other push various panels. And to travel it takes a freaking eternity because you are in space. Seriously, I think this very well might be the most boring PSVR game I have ever played. For me, it makes it almost unplayable. I keep stressing for me and personally, because this is all personal preference. Granted, it does get more action later in the game, but it just doesn't translate for a lover of action like myself.
I feel that replay value here is also relatively low. It is a beautiful game to show friends and newcomers to PSVR, that is, if they don't barf all over the place. Once finished, there isn't really a reason to play the game again other than to do multiplayer or just witness the beauty of space again.
Finally, I want to discuss multiplayer. When I saw there was PvP multiplayer, I was stoked, because I didn't think it was that type of game. Well, I was right. It's not PvP in the sense you face off against your opponent in an open environment. Rather, you race each other or play a version of capture the flag. This was very disappointing to me and honestly isn't fun at all. The multiplayer adds virtually nothing to the game in my opinion.
Detached is a beautiful, elegant and trans-formative exploration of space but lacks diverse and exciting game play that many fans are looking for. The exploration aspect was handled very well and for some this game will become a cult classic. However, for the thrill seeker this game falls flat with little action and rather boring game play. The enjoyment aspect of the game certainly will depend on the individual player and what you are looking for. For me, it was nothing but disappointing.

Spore Monsters are coming back! Now these creatures are even more insatiable, fierce and hungry. No one knows where did they come from. Are they aliens or were genetically created in cell labs? Anyway, this time there are much more angry monsters than it used to be. More different species and evolutionary forms.
This bay is too small for this amount of creatures! Take part in a fierce clash for the territory, becoming one of the terrible deep sea monsters. Destroy your enemies, absorb their genetic code (DNA) and evolve in order to truly dominate those players who dare to challenge you. Become a monstercrafter and decide by yourself how your new monster will look like. Feed and grow your own fighting monster. Don’t make monsters starve! Use genetic code collected in clashes of monsters and create a new organism. But remember, in this dangerous universe there is no space for herbivore species of monsters. Only carnivorous predators can survive and evolve. This place is for meat eaters only.
The strategy is simple:
Mighty monsters and fierce creatures constantly lead a permanent clash of monsters against each other for the territory, food and survival. Go deeper into it and learn more! Conduct a microtrip in this amazing world of fighting predator creatures. You can not only try to play survival game and hide in the sandy field but also become best friends with other spore monsters. Anyway, it is one of the really relaxing and addicting games.
Since last time this bay become a really busy place, where now not only one kind of monsters is dwelling. Now many more furious creatures set their heart on this territory. Giant sand worms who are ready to absorb and devour anyone who dare to come close enough to its abyssal jaw. Gigantic crab who does not take part in this war, but who constantly observe the fight of its smaller genetically similar species.
Start as a tiny nasty wood louse looking creature that can hardly survive several seconds in this unsafe environment. Run away if you see another moving objects like monsters, deadly spiky balls, worm holes, devour DNA of other wild monsters and just collect DNA scattered over the territory. Try to find your ark of survival. The only way how you can survive is to constantly evolve, acquire new skins, improve parameters of the insect and constantly change the tactic against other insatiable monsters.
There are three main evolution stages available but each of them has hundreds of configuration allowing to make your creature truly unique! Just eat DNA all four seasons long and evolve!
The tactics available for players vary tremendously! Depending on the monster’s evolution stage it can become a tiny weak but very fast monster or, in contrast become a furious, mighty and dangerous monster easily devouring other inhabitants of this tiny universe, showing its power in clashes. It is completely your decision on which skins and parameters to spend the DNA collected in the battles and which evolution path to choose. Choose and evolve wisely!

Leonardo DiCaprio is up to a lot of good in Kenya
Mikoko Pamoja – ‘Mangroves Together’ in Swahili – seeks to protect threatened mangrove forests and fund community development along the Kenyan Coastline.
Through his foundation, the award-winning actor who is also an environmental activist is supporting conservation of threatened mangrove forests along the Kenyan Coastline.
The project, by Napier University in Edinburgh, will receive $50,000 in the latest a round of grants from the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation which he announced at a conference at Yale University in Connecticut, United States, according to a Press Association dispatch carried by the Evening Express newspaper in Scotland.
Mikoko Pamoja – ‘Mangroves Together’ in Swahili – seeks to protect threatened mangrove forests and fund community development along the Kenyan Coastline by exploring the ecological value of mangroves in helping the ecosystem recover.
The project in Gazi Bay, 50km south of Mombasa, won the 2017 Equator Prize by the United Nations Development Programme.
The funds will be used to try and repeat the project’s success in the Vanga Blue Forest area of Kenya.
Mangroves forests protect coastal communities from storms and tsunamis and are efficient natural carbon sinks, locking and storing CO2 at up to five times the rate of tropical rainforests.
They also form an important habitat for fish and wildlife.
However, environmental experts say they are being destroyed at an alarming rate, threatening the livelihoods of local farmers and fishermen and triggering the release of greenhouse gases.
DiCaprio’s foundation was established in 1998 with help of environmental experts and philanthropists and has gradually built an international grant-making operation.
The Mikoko Pamoja project involved Edinburgh Napier staff and students working with the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute.

Homeopathic medicines are mostly of vegetable, mineral, animal and sometimes synthetic origin. These medicines are manufactured under strict guidelines. Homeopathy is considered to be safe, and lacks the potential for life threatening side effects, even though minor side effects have been reported.
Any reported adverse effects are usually mild and transient in nature. Examples of such side effects include headaches, skin rashes, dizziness, diarrhea and sometimes exacerbation of existing symptoms. The incidence of aggravation of existing symptoms is estimated to occur in 20 % cases. It should be mentioned that similar side effects are also observed with placebo interventions. Additional studies are warranted to better understand the direct and indirect risks of homeopathy.
People suffering from all kinds of illnesses, from arthritis to migraine, depression to ulcers, can be helped by homeopathy in regaining their health. Since different people react to the same illness in different ways, a homeopath approaches patients in a holistic manner. The physical, emotional and mental or spiritual state of each person are regarded as intimately connected. Homeopaths understand that symptoms of disease are evidence of the body’s natural immune systems response to healing itself and these clues are used to guide them when prescribing a remedy.
Each patient requires an intensive and sometimes lengthy interview process with a homeopathic physician to determine the exact nature of their ailment. The recent introduction of the computer database into homeopathic casetaking and repertorization has greatly simplified this procedure.
So, the patient may be asked questions about all sorts of apparently minor deviations from health and about character and personality traits. It may appear that the homeopath is interested in matters that have little to do with the particular complaint about which the patient is most concerned. This is because, before prescribing, the homeopath wants a complete overview of the patient. A remedy is then prescribed for that individual patient and not for his or her disease. Therefore, homeopathy is truly holistic.
This special process is called “potentisation”, wherein the crude medicinal substances are serially diluted and “energized”. The dilution is frequently so great that no chemical trace of the original substance remains. However the characteristic energy pattern or the blue print of the original substance is imprinted onto the dilution. This process is very much akin to the radio or television signals, where the original program or scene is converted in to an electromagnetic energy pattern or signal which is transmitted to a receiver.
Although homeopathic materials are inexpensive, the delivery of homeopathic care may be both time and manpower intensive. Homeopathic practitioners must also be thoroughly versed in the fundamentals of medicine, have expert training in differential diagnosis and referral, and the principles of informed consent must be observed at all times.
Homeopathy is a unique medical subspecialty, even in the field of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, it has demonstrated an overwhelmingly safe side effect profile and has been shown to provide benefit across a large spectrum of disorders ranging from physical to emotional and psychological conditions. The practice of homeopathy easily lends itself to an integrative atmosphere as long as homeopathic guidelines are observed.

A vacant shopping center once considered a hub of commercial activity in Renton has sold nearly a year after local firm Quadrant Homes dropped its plans to redevelop the property. In a transaction that closed on April 17th, Solera Manager LLC, an entity whose address is shared with Heartland Construction of Bellevue, sold the retail center for $15.5 million, according to public property documents. The buyer was Greater Hilands LLC, associated with Tukwila, Wash.-based JSH Properties, a property, construction and development management firm.
The property, located at 2806 NE Sunset Blvd., 2950 Sunset Blvd. NE, 975 Harrington Pl. NE, and 1171 Kirkland Ave. NE, totals nearly 11 acres. Quadrant planned to demolish the existing shopping center with the exception of the U.S. Bank building. Entitlements for the site remain in place until 2023, based on records filed with the City of Renton. Originally, Quadrant had submitted plans to build more than 670 residential units, including townhomes, 39,000 square feet of commercial space, daycare and two public streets. Upon completion development would contain two mixed-use buildings along NE Sunset Boulevard with six stories above grade; the two buildings would include 521 of the planned residential units, with the planned commercial space located on the ground floors. 151 simple-fee townhomes would also be included, as would more than 900 parking spaces.
Project plans were originally submitted in July of 2018. Estimated market value of the project was about $65 million, based on documents submitted by Quadrant to the City of Renton. In order to proceed with the project, Quadrant had to agree to complete the project in phases. Under city requirements, the developer would need to complete the building permit process for one of the two mixed-use buildings before proceeding with the townhome portion side of the development.
When Quadrant decided not to pursue the project in the spring of 2019, it had not yet purchased the property from Solera Manager LLC. At the time, Solera had already evicted tenants, even though the deal had not yet gone through, making waves in the Renton community.
It is unclear what the immediate future holds for the shopping center, and whether the site’s new owner will pursue the plans already in place. JSH Properties, however, has an established presence throughout the region, and is known for its involvement in several projects, including The Spring District, where its brokers are in charge of retail leasing.

A short while ago, we looked at what Google autocomplete tells us about what people think/feel/fear about Philly. The results were unsurprising: no matter how you spell it, Philadelphians (and our tourists) are concerned about safety (and not just if you're a beheaded hitchBOT who got to meet director Kevin Smith last night). But now, in the media storm before the storm of September's papal visit, what can Google autocomplete tell us about how people really feel about transportation lotteries, green zones, sleep-sofas renting for $2,500 a pop, and the treasure trove of commemorative memorabilia aimed at the devout and the neo-hipster alike? Let's find out.
Not shockingly, when searching "Pope visit Philadelphia," the top searches are related to transportation and housing concerns for the weekend.
Heck, just googling "Pope Francis" and you see that his Philadelphia visit is numero uno on people's minds these days.
We'll even have a special milkshake to benefit the world gathering of Catholic families and the pope visit. Didn't we just think of everything?
At least there's some clarity around when the pope visit is scheduled.
Also unsurprisingly, people googling airbnb in Philadelphia are googling airbnb in Philadelphia for the pope visit.
Same goes for "Philadelphia rentals." Also: Old City, represent!
Luckily, the whole regional-rail train pass debacle seems to have passed.
Still with the Pope Fence, people?
Oh. OK. Moving on.
Newsflash: traffic will be a nightmare. Maybe plan to leave early, if you're skipping town for the weekend.
Head on over to Philly.com for an interactive map of exactly what to expect regarding road (and bridge) closures and security check points for the weekend. And remember. It's a "green zone."
Keep calm, Philly. The eyes of the world are upon us.

Background: We have reported that heart transplant recipients treated with pravastatin demonstrate decreases in the incidence of clinically severe acute rejection episodes, the incidence and progression of transplant coronary vasculopathy, and natural killer cytotoxicity. These patients also exhibited a significant improvement in 1-year allograft survival. Because of these clinical findings suggesting an immunosuppressive effect of pravastatin unique to transplant recipients and the unclear role of natural killer cells in allograft rejection, we postulated that pravastatin may exert its immunomodulatory effect by acting with cyclosporine to alter T lymphocyte function.
Methods: Twenty patients randomized into an ongoing trial of pravastatin after heart transplantation were monitored serially for natural killer cell cytotoxicity. In a separate experiment, lymphocytes isolated from normal volunteers were treated with various combinations of pravastatin and cyclosporine and tested for cytotoxic T lymphocyte toxicity in a one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction.
Results: Pravastatin-treated heart transplant recipients exhibited a decrease in natural killer cell cytotoxicity (9.8% mean natural killer cell cytotoxicity vs 22.1% in the control group, p < 0.01). In the one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction with blood obtained from control subjects, there was a synergistic inhibition of cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity when the cells were cultured in a combination of pravastatin and cyclosporine (20.3% mean cytotoxicity of target cells vs 41.4% in the control group, p < 0.01).
Conclusions: Pravastatin exerts an immunosuppressive effect in heart transplant recipients as expressed by a reduction in rejection and natural killer cell cytotoxicity. Pravastatin and cyclosporine act synergistically to reduce cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity. This synergistic effect of pravastatin and cyclosporine may explain why this immunosuppressive effect is unique to transplant recipients.

Today started out as a very overcast day. You won’t believe how much the sun impacts the weather out here. Since it was cloudy, it felt about 20 degrees cooler than yesterday and my hands just about froze! After only one ski run, I had to go purchase some hand warmers, as did my cousins Merritt and Sayer. Hand warmers are an amazing invention. Made out of sawdust and sand-looking particles, simply shake it, and it gets warm. The only problem was that my fingers were frozen, not the palms of my hands. Someone needs to invent full glove-warmers! Nevertheless, the handwarmers were a huge help in yesterday’s cold weather. I’m not sure why my hands get so cold…but it was miserable!
After a few more ski runs, we stopped for lunch at Bar M
at the Hotel Madeline
for lunch. For appetizers we ordered 1 to 2-inch thick onions rings and chips & pumpkin-ricotta cheese dip (sound bad, but was very delicious). For lunch I had a veggie wrap and mixed green salad, which was very good. The others ordered hamburgers, lamb burgers, and veggie burgers…all which were about an inch and a half thick!
In this photo: from the left: me, Merritt, Uncle Dale, and Sayer
After a full day of skiing, we arrived back at the house to relax. In addition to Chef John, Executive Chef Andie was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Chef Andie has had 30 years experience in the culinary field and has cooked for families across the U.S. including the Hamptons, New York City, Dallas, and here in Telluride. She used to work in the Westin Galleria Dallas, as well as the Hilton Anatole. She has met Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa), cooked for Jessica Simpson, and prepared meals for politcal campaign events and more.
Tonight’s meal consisted of creamed spinach, sauteed carrots, oven-roasted potatoes, mixed green salad, and roasted chicken. For dessert we had berry cobbler and some type of spice cake. My favorite part was the roasted chicken. Not only was it impressive-looking, it was extremely moist, delicous, and flavorful.

In this photo: Sauteed carrots. The ingredients include baby carrots, brown sugar, tarragon, cinnamon, and a can of beer.
In this photo: my dinner plate! Sorry the photo is a little dark.
After dinner, we relaxed by the fire and sat next to the pretty Christmas tree. Since the tree is so tall, fishing wire was used to help hold it steady. It is also real! Our tree at home is fake, so I enjoyed the smell and look of a truly authentic Christmas tree. An end to another perfect day in the mountains of Telluride.

To believe in civil liberties means to support people's legal right to do offensive, even disgusting, things. In the absence of proof that Valle was actually preparing to kill his wife, however much his kink makes me squick I have to support his right to have really disgusting fantasies and to talk about them with other people.
NYPD officer Gilberto Valle, better known as the “Cannibal Cop,” has triumphed in court for what appears to be a final time. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit affirmed a lower court’s acquittal of Valle on the conspiracy charge, and reversed a conviction on a charge of improperly accessing a government computer and obtaining information.
Fantasy crimes — even repellent, disgusting, unthinkable fantasy crimes worthy of universal condemnation — are not crimes, it said.
“This does not mean that fantasies are harmless,” Judge Barrington Parker wrote in an opinion. “To the contrary, fantasies of violence against women are both a symptom of and a contributor to a culture of exploitation, a massive social harm that demeans women. Yet we must not forget that in a free and functioning society, not every harm is meant to be addressed with the federal criminal law.”

We offer thousands of liens. Some of the forms offered are listed by area below. For others, please use our search engine.
What is a Mechanic’s Lien?
A mechanic's lien is a legal claim that a contractor or supplier can place on a property when they haven't been paid for work or materials provided. In Virginia, a mechanic's lien serves as a way for unpaid contractors or suppliers to protect their right to payment. It allows them to legally hold onto the property until they receive the money they are owed. This lien can interfere with the property owner's ability to sell or refinance the property until the debt is settled. Mechanic's liens in Virginia give contractors and suppliers a way to ensure they get paid for their services.
When Do I Need a Mechanic’s Lien Form?
A mechanic's lien form is a document that you may need when someone owes you money for services or materials provided on a construction project. In simple terms, if you have worked on a project, and you haven't been paid, a mechanic's lien form can help you protect your rights and ensure payment. In Virginia, this form can be used by contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers who haven't received the full payment for their work or materials. It allows them to place a lien or claim on the property until they get paid. So, if you find yourself in a situation where you're not getting paid for your construction work in Virginia, a mechanic's lien form could be your solution to get what you rightfully deserve.
Who Can File a Mechanic’s Lien?
In Virginia, a mechanic’s lien can be filed by contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, or anyone who has provided labor, materials, or services for a construction project. Basically, if you have helped to improve someone's property but have not been paid for it, you may have the right to file a mechanic’s lien. This legal tool allows you to claim a right to payment by placing a lien on the property until you are paid what you are owed. It's a way to protect your rights and make sure you get paid for your hard work and contributions to a construction project.
Consequences of Not Having a Mechanic’s Lien
Not having a mechanic's lien in Virginia can lead to some serious consequences. First off, a mechanic's lien is like a safety net for contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who have done work or provided materials for a construction project. It gives them a legal right to get paid if the property owner doesn't hold up their end of the bargain. Without this lien, if a property owner refuses to pay for the work done or materials provided, there won't be a clear legal recourse for the contractors or suppliers. This means that they might end up losing out on the money they're rightfully owed. It's like having no protection against someone not paying up for the job you did. To avoid this, it's crucial to have a mechanic's lien in place.
Common Situations for Using a Mechanic’s Lien Form
A mechanic's lien form in Virginia is often used in common situations when contractors or subcontractors have not been paid for their work on a construction project. For example, if a homeowner hires a contractor to remodel their kitchen but fails to make the agreed-upon payment, the contractor can use a mechanic's lien form to secure their right to payment. Similarly, if a subcontractor provides services to a general contractor and is not compensated, they can utilize a mechanic's lien form to protect their interest in the property. This form is beneficial as it helps contractors and subcontractors to have a legal claim on the property until they receive the payment they are owed.

Book Review: “Saving Simon”
by Robin Russell, volunteer writer
Compassion Always. Every time we volunteer we wear that tagline over our hearts. It’s not only part of the Dumb Friends League logo, but an integral part of our mission statement.
In “Saving Simon” Jon Katz helps us to see, through his experiences with rescued animals, the many ways they make us wiser, kinder and even more compassionate people. Jon and his wife, Maria, live at their Bedlam Farm in upstate New York, where they already house a number of rescued animals.
But Simon was special – a donkey so badly neglected he was near death – in that he touched something deep inside Jon, and they formed a special connection. You see, Jon had also felt aloneness, confusion, fear and discomfort in his life. This new awakening translated to Jon’s human experiences too.
Simon initially needed almost constant care to return to health. Jon hand fed him, read to him while the two of them sat in a pasture, and even shared confidences he hadn’t shared with people. As if in turn, Simon helped Jon understand the meaning of compassion and how it can help us to take risks. This new awakening led Jon and Maria to rescue a trouble border collie named Red and a blind pony named Rocky.
Along with the stories of Jon showing compassion to Simon, I enjoyed those of Red becoming Rocky’s seeing-eye dog, and at the end of the book, Simon showing compassion to a developmentally disabled boy who came to the farm. A full circle …
Jon Katz has written 26 books, mostly about dogs. If you haven’t discovered his writing yet, I highly recommend it.

1993 Ford E-150 ProblemsMisfire, Hesitation, Rough Running from Engine, Notably After Ignition Wire Replacement
The engine may have a misfire, hesitation, and/or run roughly – notably after a service and/or ignition wire replacement. If after recent ignition wire replacement, the cause can be misrouted ignition wires. The wires from the distributor to the valve cover must be routed correctly to avoid interference and induction crossfire. Verify all clips are used to secure and separate ignition wires.
If engine idle rolls up and down, and diagnosis rules out Idle Air Control (IAC) valve issues and vacuum leaks, the Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM) can be at fault electronically. The instrument cluster will need to be replaced, the PSOM is inside the cluster.
Common sources of rear axle leaks are the rear differential cover seal, and / or the pinion seal. Reseal the rear differential cover with the appropriate sealant and / or replace pinion seal for leakage.

By TAMI QUIGLEY
“Very few people are moral relativists – most are confused,” Dr. Michael Rombeiro told the 40 young adults gathered for the Theology on Tap session “Responding to Relativism” Jan. 14 at Hops at the Paddock, Allentown.
Rombeiro is professor of philosophy at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Philadelphia.
In a culture that reflects universal truth in favor of convenience, how can Catholics respond charitably yet effectively to relativism? Rombeiro discussed the confusion that stems from relativistic thinking in society, the importance of moral absolutes and the role of Catholics who strive to follow Church teaching.
Theology on Tap is a monthly series sponsored by the Diocesan Office of Youth, Young Adult and Family Ministry (OYYAFM). The series is designed to welcome young adults ages 21 to 35, single or married, in a casual setting where they can grow in the faith and share community with one another. It originated in the Archdiocese of Chicago, Illinois.
Alexa Smith, assistant director of OYYAFM, welcomed those gathered.
“Moral relativism is the idea that there is no absolute moral law,” Rombeiro said. There’s no absolute truth, only truths to a particular culture or individual. “What’s moral in one culture may not be in another, and individuals have their own personal morality or value system.”
Rombeiro said a subjective statement is about the perceiver, and an objective statement is about the object. For example, “George feels the test is unfair” is subjective, but “The test is unfair” is objective.
Rombeiro said an absolute truth is a statement that is true independent of other factors, like two plus two equals four. A relative truth depends on other factors, such as January is in winter is a statement that depends on which hemisphere you are in.
“Morals are relative but that’s not moral relativism,” Rombeiro said. “General moral principles are absolute.”
Rombeiro noted St. Thomas Aquinas said the three aspects of a moral act are the act itself, intention and circumstances. “The subject’s intentions and relative circumstances do matter,” Rombeiro said.
“In moral relativism, all value judgements are about the subject and not the object,” he said. For example, if you see a robbery, you think it’s bad, but if you are the robber, you think it’s good.
“For most people who promote moral relativism it has to do with tolerance,” Rombeiro said, noting Catholics, Jews and Muslims are a problem to them because these faiths “have absolute values.”
Even those who espouse moral relativism agree, for instance, that murder is wrong. “It’s really about them trying to replace traditional objective values with progressive values.”
“In real hardline radical relativism, there really is no good or bad, right or wrong. You decide,” Rombeiro said.
"This idea does influence a lot of ways of thinking these days, like it’s up to you to decide the meaning of life, and the source of value of things is the subject – there’s nothing objective about it.”
“Traditionally, we have an intellect that can get past appearances and grasp reality. In moral relativism, you say if I can’t see human nature, I can’t know it, maybe it doesn’t exist,” Rombeiro said, adding the groundwork for moral relativism was laid out in the 1880s.
“It’s basically secular humanism,” he said, which is humanism, with regard in particular to the belief that humanity is capable of morality and self-fulfillment without belief in God.
There are three ways to respond to all this: don’t base decisions on right or wrong; take a tolerant, nonjudgmental approach; or judge moral acts to be good or bad. “If you choose not to judge, you’re really saying it’s permissible, so it’s the same as not basing decisions on right or wrong,” Rombeiro said.
He said most illegal acts are clearly morally wrong, such as murder and robbery. On the other hand, some legal acts are immoral, ambiguous or moral.
“People are confused because they say their values are relative, but they don’t really believe it – if you point it out, they’ll say yes, there are objective values,” Rombeiro said.
“At heart, we have different values. We’re living in a culture with no guideposts, that’s part of the problem.”
“If someone sees you living a fulfilled life of integrity, they will want to know what that’s about,” Rombeiro said.
“There’s a big difference between religion and being a moral person.”

As though carved into slices, the Maranga Pendant Light resembles nothing so much as an exotic fruit. Barcelona designer Christophe Mathieu took that succulent inspiration, along with an appreciation for Scandinavian design, to fashion his thoroughly contemporary polycarbonate fixture for Marset. The shade is made up of 32 sections which are evenly spaced for an interplay of light and dark. The resulting illumination is richly shaded and glare-free. In a choice of 2 sizes, the pendant is fitted with a diffuser at the bottom opening to focus direct light downward.
- 6.25" h x 19.75" dia (16x50cm)
- Canopy: 4.3" dia
- Hanging Height: 6.6' (200cm)
- UL Listed
“Marset is more than lamps: We take care of light in its different nuances and effects, to create atmospheres with character, helping to improve people’s quality of life,” declares the Barcelona-based company. Marset’s dual preoccupation with both crisp contemporary design and the more elusive ambiance of lighting has firmly fixed the firm on the design world’s cutting-edge radar. A series of attention-grabbing and innovative fixtures account for the recent revitalization of the brand, though Marset has actually been around since the 1940s.
A family business, Marset was originally a foundry, not a lighting company. It segued into lighting design when Francisco Marset formally established Marset Illuminacion in 1965. Decades devoted to metalwork easily translated to the contemporary lighting industry, with a dexterity of materials available to create unexpected, atmospheric lighting effects. Not to mention the influence of its Barcelona home, a city renowned for architecture, design and visual inspiration.

French fuel debacle spills over to Senegal
The recent events at the French embassy in Burkina Faso were yet another demonstration against France on the African continent after France was ousted from Mali. All it took was a rumour to attract the sympathy of the population and demonstrators to head to the French Embassy.
Published: October 16, 2022, 7:25 am
Many reactions have been heard in favor of legitimising and approving the movement to kick out the “colonizers”.
In the wake of the Burkina episode, it was in Senegal that Guy Marius Sagna, focused on French fuel coupons. The leader of Frapp-France dégage, an anti-imperialist activist accustomed to stays in prison, was appointed as technical adviser by the new mayor of Dakar, Barthélémy Dias. Sagna has decried “the monetary occupation of our countries by France through the CFA Franc”.
President Macky Sall’s credibility has meanwhile been dented by the fallout from a BBC programme aired in June 2019 that alleged corrupt payments in the oil sector involving his brother. Setbacks have left Sall with a razor-thin majority, while he faces an outcry over a suspected third-term bid.
Subsidiary legislation relating to local content in the nascent hydrocarbons industry was not ultimately a vote-winning measure ahead of the legislative election in July 2022. Senegal has set an ultimate target of 50 percent local content by 2030.

Asking France to leave Senegal
Many Senegalese have applauded Guy Sagna’s actions, no doubt in good faith, in defending their country, stating that a “plundering” was being orchestrated by France.
The activist now turned MP, has refused the fuel voucher from Total or Shell. According to him, the National Assembly has favoured private companies to the detriment of local people. “I am in the National Assembly and the National Assembly wants to give me my fuel allocation as follows: 400 litres of fuel to be taken from Total or Shell; 100 litres of fuel to be taken from Elton.
“I can’t take the 100 litres and leave the 400 litres. You have to take the whole package. I refused to take my fuel because I refuse to support Total or Shell by leaving out Elton. I want my 500 litres of fuel exclusively to support Africans in Senegal.
“No wonder Senegal and Africa are the last of the last with foreign preference instead of national preference. No wonder young Senegalese are unemployed. A Senegal and an Africa that has created a paradise for France and other imperialists by digging their own grave, the grave of their children: it’s over!”
The French state collects 440 billion euros in taxes from its former colonies every year. France relies on the revenue to avoid sinking into economic insignificance, former President Jacques Chirac had warned in 2008.
The problem for France however is thousands of Senegalese in France. Their contribution to Senegal’s national wealth via remittances is estimated at more than 1 600 billion CFA francs per year, or 10 percent of GDP, and 60 percent of the total comes from France, which is considerable.
Guy Sagna has been stigmatising a company legally established in Senegal and which employs Senegalese with dividends that are distributed to the shareholders, and the added value belongs to Senegal, whatever the nationality of the shareholders, French pundits say. Many French have argued that in this context of globalisation, GDP is a more relevant indicator than GNP or GNI.
Pro-French voices argue that states compete with each other in their ingenuity to attract foreign capital, while in Senegal Sagna’s supporters threaten “boycotts and plundering”.
In particular, Sagna has denounced Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) as instruments of the IMF and World Bank. “EPAs are economic agreements that are being negotiated between the European Union (EU) and the Africa Caribbean Pacific (ACP) states. These agreements are diverse because the EU chose to split these countries into sub-regions like East Africa or Southern Africa. In West Africa, the EU’s objective is to export 70 percent of its goods tariff-free, which will deprive West African states of customs revenues.”
He explained that these deals have been preceded by the IMF and the World Bank’s structural adjustment programmes that imposed liberalising African economies and opening their markets. “It’s part of an international labour division scheme that makes our ‘underdeveloped’ countries consumers of goods from other countries whose role is to produce those goods. The EPA reinforces this process, which will impoverish our countries even more.”
Senegal will lose 75 billion CFA Francs per year in the first 20 years of the agreement, and from then on, 240 billion CFA Francs annually. According to Sagna, this has been contributing to mass immigration. “Removing tariffs for European goods in West Africa is a hidden subsidy to European corporations.”
And Sagna is not about to betray his constituents, and has remained true to himself in what some have described “his sick monomania against France”.
Blaming Russia and China
“Some of them do not hide their sympathy for Putin who, according to them, resists the West, the society that welcomed them,” complained opinion writer Mouhamed Camara.
“Let’s be clear, this is not to say that the relationship between France and its former colonies is irreproachable, far from it. But is this hatred justified and, above all, who benefits from it? In this tense geopolitical context and trade war, should we not ask ourselves who benefits from all this? Is the increasing presence of the Chinese and Russians pure coincidence?”
Some politicians declare that if they were elected, they would call into question certain agreements with France.
Camara added: “It is also urgent that France calls itself into question both in the integration of its sons and daughters of immigrants.”

INDIANAPOLIS – A Marion County judge heard the first arguments Friday in a second lawsuit challenging Indiana’s near-total abortion ban – this one focused on Indiana’s religious freedom law.
The abortion law remains on hold after a judge issued a preliminary injunction last month in a separate case.
Five anonymous citizens and the group Hoosier Jews for Choice sued the state, arguing the ban violates Indiana’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Ken Falk of the ACLU of Indiana said in court that the plaintiffs’ religious beliefs compel them to get an abortion in some situations.
“This is not a monumental ask,” Falk told reporters after the hearing. “It’s asking that another exception be carved out of the law for persons who have sincere religious beliefs.”
The judge is now considering whether to issue a preliminary injunction to the law in the religious freedom case.
Last month, an Owen County judge put the law on hold in a separate case. That lawsuit was filed by abortion providers claiming a right to privacy violation under the state constitution. The case now heads to the Indiana Supreme Court, where a hearing is scheduled for January 12.
“We obviously are optimistic about what’s going to happen in the [Indiana] Supreme Court on the first case, but it makes perfect sense to try and get a preliminary injunction in this case as well,” Falk said.
But Indiana Solicitor General Tom Fisher argues another injunction is unnecessary for the plaintiffs.
“If the other injunction isn’t enough for them, why would this one be any different?” Fisher said after the hearing.
Fisher denied the state is taking a religious position with the abortion law and argues the legislature acted on ethical grounds.
“Just because a law happens to be consistent with some religious teachings doesn’t make it a religious law,” Fisher said.
“Religious liberty is important, let’s bear that in mind,” he added. “But so is protecting the life of the unborn.”
The judge is expected to make a decision on whether to issue a preliminary injunction in the religious freedom case within the next few weeks.

Less Than a Week to Go
Morris turned down Vikings' DC offer
Morris turned down the offer because he had already verbally accepted the job to coach defensive backs with the Washington Redskins.
"A lot of people might think it's a missed opportunity not going to Minnesota after they offered, but I believe that in this game, all you have is your word and your tape, and I gave (the Redskins) my word, and I wanted to come here and help them this year, and I was going to do it," Morris told the Post.
After Morris was fired as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he interviewed for the Redskins' defensive coordinator position with head coach Mike Shanahan and general manager Bruce Allen, with whom Morris had worked in Tampa.
He later interviewed with the Vikings but wasn't immediately offered the job in Minnesota. He received and accepted the offer from the Redskins, and the following day the Vikings offered him their coordinator job. Asked if he regretted not waiting longer to accept the Washington job, he told the Post: "Can't ever think like that in this business. It's about being honest and upfront with people, and I feel like I handled it with class."
In the past, the Vikings have been criticized for making coaching decisions too quickly. They didn't want Brad Childress to interview with the Green Bay Packers in 2006 and offered him the job, which he accepted, before he left town. After firing Childress in the midst of a 6-10 season in 2010, the Vikings offered Frazier the head-coaching job on a full-time basis on Jan. 3, 2011.
Frazier, in turn, quickly decided on Fred Pagac as his defensive coordinator after promoting him to that role on an interim basis when Frazier took over as interim head coach 10 games into the 2010 season. Frazier demoted Pagac back to linebackers coach earlier this month and proceeded to interview candidates for the defensive coordinator position, including Morris and Mel Tucker of the Jacksonville Jaguars. When Jacksonville decided on Mike Mularkey as the new head coach, Tucker decided to remain there as defensive coordinator/assistant head coach.
Tucker and Morris appeared to be the top candidates in Minnesota, but Morris felt he needed to give Washington an answer while the Vikings continued to interview candidates.
"I got an opportunity to interview with Minnesota, and I did, and we waited a little bit, but I didn't want to miss a great opportunity to come to Washington. So I had to give these guys an answer in Washington, and I gave them the answer, and I felt confident in my decision," Morris told the Post.
The Vikings announced the hiring of Alan Williams as their defensive coordinator on Jan. 19.

Hmm ....is there actually such a word as snuck ....sneaked this one is doesn't quite sound right either ....perhaps it should be sneaking ....oh well not to worry here it is anyway -). Before I started on the Spring kit I thought to do a little something for Easter but time got away on me so instead of the fullsize kit I was planning I've reduced it somewhat to tagger-size.
It's only a mini so you won't find a heap of things to use but it's still good practice for me & I'm always happy if someone can make use of my things. Now don't laugh but I attempted to make a quilt of sorts *sigh* some parts of it looked puffy like I wanted yet other bits didn't so that is another thing I would like to spend more time on. But hey, you can always disguise it with a mask LOL I also included a bunny that was a challenge in one of the groups I belong to. We were given the outline template & asked to colour it & what you see is my result. I'm still getting around the fact that I did something cute but I'm sure I'll be right in a day or two -)

Tarawa Kiribati Temple
Planning and approval phase; site location unknown; groundbreaking not announced
Announcement:4 October 2020
The Tarawa Kiribati Temple is currently in the planning stages. No groundbreaking date has been announced.
Renderings of the Tarawa Kiribati Temple and site plan have not yet been publicly released.
No site location has been officially announced for the Tarawa Kiribati Temple.
In the final session of the 190th Semiannual General Conference, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct the Tarawa Kiribati Temple. Kiribati is a nation comprised of 32 atolls and one island with half of the population living on Tarawa atoll where Church-operated Moroni High School is located. There are nearly 21,000 Kiribatian Latter-day Saints, approximately one-sixth of the population, belonging to two stakes and three districts. The Saints of Kiribati currently travel well over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) to participate in ordinance work at the Suva Fiji Temple.1
The Tarawa Kiribati Temple will be the first temple built in Kiribati and the second built in Micronesia, following the Yigo Guam Temple (2021).
