WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for Bread's Crumbs 4.
The Bread's Crumbs Cinematic Universe is the fictional world and storyline created by Ryan Bowman and Scott Pincus that encompasses Bread's Crumbs and its various spin-offs and sequels. The spin-offs, also called "interquels", expanded the universe more, with many of them tying in with the main story by the installments in the next phase of the series. The series is known for its ensemble casts, assembling many of Scott's actors and bringing them together. The series aired from June 2014 to August 2017.
The first film was followed by three interquels - The Biggest Fish of Them All, Alias Odium, and Tea-Eee, which were released in 2014. The second phase of the cinematic universe began with the release of Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo in June 2015. In August, it was followed by two spin-offs; Jumpa X and The Conundrum Dimension, as well as Hit the Crib and Omega, which were released in March and April 2016.
The third installment, Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam, commenced phase three upon its release in June 2016. Though it was set to be the series finale, a fourth film was made a large possibility in December 2016 and confirmed in February 2017. A final interquel, The Two Man Trio, was released in May. Bread's Crumbs 4: Mass Consumption, the series' concluding entry, was released in August 2017.
The Clan was an organization created by Tom Boder, aka "Captain Jumpa", John Bacchus, Glen Tennis, and Vin Diesel, dedicated to the retrieval of powerful and ancient artifacts in order to keep them from getting into the wrong hands. In the first film, the group fought against Bread Nelson to claim The Crumbs, and everyone present at the battle was infected by a decoy artifact that drained them of their energy.
In the second film, Captain Jumpa is largely absent throughout and Glen Tennis is killed during an attack on The Clan by Biscuit Savage. Bacchus takes control of the group and they fight against their new adversary, up until Bacchus sets off on a solo mission to find The Crumbs.
In the third film, a rift forms in The Clan after a failed raid on the U.B.N.V.A. headquarters, as some are losing faith in Jumpa's leadership. Bacchus forms a rogue group, the Bacchus Brotherhood, to claim The Crumbs and unleash its power. Jumpa, Vin and several others stay loyal to The Clan, and battle the brotherhood. At the end of the film, The Clan reunites with the brotherhood to fight and destroy Nazi Mitch. Jumpa then disbands The Clan, and the team goes their separate ways.
In the fourth film, Bacchus reunites The Clan following the death of Jumpa, with the goal of remaking The Crumbs and preserving its powers. New and old allies reunite and formulate a plan to preserve the artifact, as a disgraced ally named The Paleman teams with The Creator of The Crumbs to battle The Clan. The team fights their new adversaries, but suffer many losses, as Paleman kills Colonel Crunch, Biscuit Savage and Rasputin, while Creator kills Big Beard, Lord Tyresius, Sandy and Reginald. In the final battle, Bacchus is killed by Paleman, but not before he remakes The Crumbs. With The Clan gone, Flynt and Kick agree to honor the team's legacy and guard The Crumbs for years to come.

Played by David M. The founder and leader of the U.B.N.V.A., Bread Nelson always sought to claim The Crumbs and destroy his arch adversaries, The Clan. He was the main villain of Bread's Crumbs, in which he fought and struck down many members of The Clan as he tried stealing The Crumbs. Unbeknownst to Nelson, he was handling a corruptive duplicate of the artifact. Nelson was ultimately defeated by The Clan, and went into hiding in the U.B.N.V.A. headquarters.
In Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo, Nelson would task Biscuit Savage and Nazi Mitch with stealing The Crumbs a year later. The two formed an alliance, but Mitch would betray Savage and take The Crumbs for himself. Nelson was pleased that Mitch claimed the artifact, but found they couldn't tap into its power without an ancient spear. Several months later, he tasked Bjorn Alvarez with killing John Bacchus, which the bounty hunter failed to do.
In Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam, after Rasputin stole The Crumbs from the headquarters, Nelson denounced Mitch for his poor operation of the U.B.N.V.A. headquarters. Mitch would later claim the artifact's power and become all-powerful, but was killed by The Clan. Nelson remained in hiding after his organization fell apart, and was ultimately killed by The Paleman, a devout supporter of Mitch, due to Nelson's abandonment of the latter.
Played by Mitchell Patterson. He is the main antagonist of The Biggest Fish of Them All, a supporting antagonist in the second film and the main antagonist of the third film.
Played by Brandon Archibald. A large, smart and intimidating adversary, Biscuit Savage was always obsessed with obtaining The Crumbs. He served as the main antagonist in Bread's Crumbs 2: Electric Boogaloo, and later a supporting protagonist in Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam. Savage also had a brief appearance via archival footage in The Conundrum Dimension.
Played by Ryan Bowman. He appears very briefly in the second film, but is confirmed to be an antagonist. Jumpa X later returns in his own solo film, Jumpa X, where he arrives in the future to kill Tea-Eee's former host, Dennis Palmer, and initiate a chain of apocalyptic events. Vin Diesel and Lord Tyresius manage to protect Palmer and defeat Jumpa X, but some time after they returned to the past, Jumpa X awoke, still in the future - where he could still continue his mission.
His current status is unknown, although judging by the after-credits scene of his solo film, which featured the Clan tearing itself apart and its members fighting each other (an event Vin and Tyresius were trying to prevent), it is implied that Jumpa X somehow fulfilled his mission.
Played by Michael Behrenshauser. He makes a brief appearance in the second film, and is confirmed to be a member of the U.B.N.V.A., although he turns down an offer to assist Biscuit Savage. Michael B has not expressed interest in returning to have a larger role in future films.
Played by Jacob Doerr. Similar to Jumpa X, he is an "infiltrator" cyborg meant to mimic the appearance of Justin Bartisto.
Played by Ryan Grier. He is a supporting character in the third film. Banny is the son of Biscuit Savage who, following his father's supposed demise at the hands of The Clan, seeked vengeance and The Crumbs.
Other Characters Edit
Played by Jacob Doerr. He is the protagonist of Alias Odium, a major character in Omega, and was planned to be in Inquisition as well as the second and third films, but Inquisition and the character was ultimately cut from the second and third films. Jacob D has expressed willingness to appear in future installments, but whether or not that will come to fruition is unconfirmed at this time. He is rumored to return for the fourth film - however, this remains unconfirmed as well.
Played by Dan Brusilovsky. He is a major character in the third film. Rasputin is a mysterious character, who slips into the U.B.N.V.A. headquarters during the Clan's raid of the facility and steals The Crumbs. Rasputin then toys around with everyone by sending them on a wild goose chase to claim the artifact, which Rasputin has no intention of using for power and instead uses it to hold himself higher than everyone else.
A parasitic alien that resembles a wig. It was the main antagonist of Tea-Eee and a supporting antagonist in Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam. Tea-Eee possesses people and uses their bodies as vessels to carry out various actions. In Tea-Eee, the alien possessed civilian Dennis Palmer, and used him to attack Captain Jumpa and Colonel Crunch. After Palmer was saved, Tea-Eee later returned in Scrub Slam, possessing Flynt Coal and allying with Rasputin.
Played by Gabe Sagherian. He is a major character in Tea-Eee and Jumpa X. Palmer was possessed by the alien Tea-Eee and used to attack Captain Jumpa and Colonel Crunch. After Crunch removed the alien from Palmer's head, Crunch and Jumpa pursued Tea-Eee, with Palmer defeating the alien.
Unbeknownst to Palmer, Tea-Eee survived, and in the distant future evil forces were seeking it. Jumpa would send Vin Diesel and Lord Tyresius to the future to protect Palmer and destroy Jumpa X. Palmer allied with Vin and Tyresius, and together they fought and disabled Jumpa X.
Played by Scott Pincus. He was a minor character in Jumpa X. An arms dealer, Brando assisted Jumpa X when he entered his weapons shack. However, after the cyborg grabbed various firearms, it turned on Brando and shot him to death.
He is set to return in the upcoming fourth film.
Played by Chris Lombardo. He was a minor character in Jumpa X. Paxton confronted Jumpa X when he arrived in the year 2019. He tried killing the cyborg, who demanded Paxton's clothes. Paxton complied, but Jumpa X shot him shortly after.
Character Appearances Edit
- The majority of the characters who had appeared in the previous nine installments returned in Bread's Crumbs 3: Scrub Slam. Unfortunately, issues arose that prevented the envisioned cast from being complete (five characters had to be cut from the film in all).
- Colonel Crunch, The Paleman, Justin Bartisto and Mahatma were all set to appear in the film, but did not due to scheduling conflicts with the actors that portrayed them. However, Colonel Crunch and Mahatma are both mentioned.
- Corporal Crunch and Sandy Sandler have cameos in the film, but their roles were set to be larger.
- Jumpa X was set to return in the film, but did not fit into the scenes that were shot due to time constraints. He was intended to appear during the opening battle in the U.B.N.V.A. headquarters.
- J-1000 (the antagonist of Omega), as well as Kosta Brando and Paxton (minor characters from Jumpa X) and Dennis Palmer (a main character in Tea-Eee and Jumpa X), were never expected to appear in the film and as such did not.

Reproductive health experts believe that hormonal contraceptives are a good option for adolescents because they are safe and highly effective in preventing pregnancy.
A new study in young rats associates synthetic hormones in oral contraceptives, patches and injections with disorganized signaling between cells in the prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain that continues to develop throughout puberty. . Compared to control rats, animals given hormonal contraceptives also had higher levels of corticosterone, a stress hormone similar to cortisol in humans.
Scientists at Ohio State University began this line of research in the prefrontal cortex, the region that regulates mood. Because several previous studies have associated early adolescent use of hormonal contraceptives with the risk of depression in adulthood. Most important, however, is learning how contraception affects the developing brain so that individuals can weigh the risks and benefits of reproductive health choices, researchers say. says.
“Birth control has had a significant positive impact on women’s health and autonomy, so I’m not suggesting that adolescents shouldn’t be taking hormonal contraceptives,” said senior study author. said Benedetta Leuner, associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University.
“What we need is to know what the synthetic hormones are doing in our brain so we can make informed decisions. If you do decide to use birth control, you’ll pay more attention to the warning signs if you’re aware of the possible mood-related side effects.”
The research poster was presented today (Tuesday, November 15, 2022) at Neuroscience 2022, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
An estimated two in five teenage girls in the United States have had sex between the ages of 15 and 19, and the majority use contraception, especially condoms. Of those who use contraception, nearly 5% use hormonal contraceptives, also known as long-acting reversible contraceptives. These products are also prescribed to treat acne and heavy menstruation.
Despite its popularity, “little is known about how hormonal contraception affects the teenage brain and behavior,” says co-author Kathryn, an associate professor of psychology at Ohio State University. Lenz said, “Adolescence is a highly underexplored period of dramatic brain changes and dramatic hormonal changes that we don’t really understand.”
Researchers gave a combination of synthetic estrogen and progesterone, commonly found in hormonal contraceptives, for three weeks to female rats about one month old, which corresponds to early puberty in humans. Researchers confirmed that these contraceptives disrupted the animals’ reproductive cycles. These birth control pills work by stopping the ovaries from producing hormones at levels needed to produce eggs, making the lining of the uterus difficult for an egg to implant.
Blood samples showed that treated rats produced more corticosterone than untreated animals. Corticosterone levels remained elevated in treated rats after recovery from exposure to experimental stressors. suggesting that hormone production was consistently higher than in control animals.
Analysis of gene activation markers in the animal’s prefrontal cortex showed a reduction in excitatory synapses in that region of the brain in treated rats compared to controls, but no change to inhibitory synapses. It did not – a phenomenon that could lead to an imbalance in normal signaling patterns and lead to behavioral changes. Loss of only excitatory synapses in the prefrontal cortex has been associated with exposure to chronic stress and depression in previous studies.
“What this means for the functionality of a particular circuit is not yet known, but it may give clues as to where to look next in terms of what the functional consequences will be.” ,” said Lenz.
Researchers are conducting additional studies targeting hormonal contraceptive effects on the brain during puberty and late adolescence. It is a difficult time to be. The reasons behind the drug’s effectiveness are also an open question.
“These are synthetic hormones, so are they affecting the brain because of their synthetic properties, or are they affecting the brain because they are blocking naturally produced hormones?” she said. said. “It’s a difficult question to answer, but it’s an important question.”
First author Rachel Gilfarb, a graduate student in Leuner’s lab, presented a poster. Other Ohio co-authors include Meredith Stewart, Abhishek Rajesh, Sanjana Ranade, and Courtney Dye.

International Tax Compliance
OECD and CD Tax Compliance
The US FATCA legislation is due to come into force on the 1st July 2014, and is expected to raise income for the US government by collecting previously avoided US-owed tax from American taxpayers and entities from accounts held outside the US.
The onus is placed on the foreign financial institutions themselves to declare to the US government (IRS) the awareness of such funds and also start a line of communication with its customers who appear to be in such circumstances.
It should come as no surprise therefore that governments from other countries will also soon be following-suit and creating their own versions of the FATCA legislation and entering into IGA's (Inter-Governmental Agreements) with other foreign governments to ensure there is no facility for residents of any country being able to store monies in off-shore accounts to avoid paying tax.
The first of these sees the UK government creating agreements with its crown dependencies (CD); Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man in the first instance. These come into force on 1st January 2015. Subsequent agreements with other CD's are complete, being made, or expected to be made with the likes of Gibraltar, Cayman Islands, etc. with similar tight-deadlines.
At the same time key European nations are entering into IGA's and agreeing dates of implementation under the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development).This wider "OECD FATCA" project whilst only published on the 14th February 2014 has already been endorsed by the G20 countries. The UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain have already signed-up to this multilateral exchange of tax-based information. This clearly is the shape-of-things to come, and heralds a new age of international tax clarity, making it more difficult for high-profile cases of tax avoidance to be so prevalent.
How can EDQ Solutions help with this?Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (OEDQ) has been used as the platform of choice for a number a global financial institutions who have been keen to be compliant with US FATCA.
OEDQ's matching capabilities and ability to process large quantities of data (including non-Latin character sets) make it ideal for determining whether the key defined indicia are apparent in any of the institution’s customer records.
From there, OEDQ’s embedded Case Management application and advanced Workflow engine can assist in reducing operational costs by integrating business intelligence into the overall design.
The overall result is a highly performing, well-architected, and practical easy-to-use solution.

Teen pop cutie Selena Gomez has been granted a restraining order against a man named Thomas Brodnicki following his admission to a psychiatrist that he has had “conversations with God” about killing her. Oh no!
According to TMZ, the man was taken into custody for evaluation after he allegedly threatened to “scratch people’s eyes out on the street.” It was during the evaluation that he (allegedly) made the threats against Selena. He also admitted to traveling from Chicago to L.A. in hopes of meeting her, as well as visiting her workplace (a TV studio, maybe?) at least three times. He has been charged with making criminal threats on other people’s lives in the past.
Young Ms. Gomez stated herself to be in “extreme fear” over the threats in the legal document she signed to get the restraining order, for which I really can’t blame her. In a show of solidarity, her fans made #weprotectselena a trending topic on Twitter today. I’m not sure how these tweets are actually going to protect her, but hopefully Selena’s body guards and the legal system have that covered already.

Very tall trees.
Reported in the Trees category anonymously at 15:23, Tuesday 23 April 2019
Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 2 minutes later
The trees surrounding our garden are very tall, some as tall as the lampposts, and overhanging our garden by up to 10ft. They go from the A44 around the corner into Rutton Lane. Can you please let us know who is responsible for maintaining them. We understand they were probably put there as a noise reduction for the traffic from the A44 but they seem to be too tall and not dense enough to stop the traffic noise. We would be grateful for a reply as soon as possible.
Council ref: ENQ19831866
Thank you for your enquiry. This issue has been passed onto the relevant team for investigation.
State changed to: Investigating
Posted by Oxfordshire County Council at 15:25, Tuesday 23 April 2019
We have visited site and assessed the trees in their location. The overhanging trees present are on land maintainable by an adjacent landowner and not by the County Council. You can access the land registry at: https://www.gov.uk/ search-property-information-land-registry at a cost of £7 to find details of the adjacent landowner to peruse your enquiry. You are also within your common law rights as a landowner to cut any overhanging vegetation back to the boundary line of your property.
Many Thanks For your enquiry.

I was planning to get up early anyway, but at 7 a.m., a loud boombox started pounding out hip hop in waves as if someone was circling the block. The sound was unrelenting: torture by hip hop. I imagined a lowrider from East L.A. driving back and forth, preening his feathers for lower Manhattan. Turns out it was three white guys making a movie in the alley below my window, the same alley, I'm almost certain, that I shot in for the end of my short film (the film that brought me to CA) more than 25 years ago.
Last day, tying up loose ends. Did I do what I wanted to do here? Going back to that same alley, here's a photo I took, on one of my early walks:
The Excuses, in Cortland Alley
"I ran yesterday," this wall post begins, but then the writer gives excuses why s/he can't run today, but will run tomorrow: it's raining, s/he's sick, traveling, has the wrong shoes, etc. I thought about this a lot while I was here, the excuses for not writing, how there's always an excuse not to write: raining, sick, traveling, wrong shoes. So I tried to stick to my plan of writing everyday, but still, it didn't happen, and at one point I felt discouraged, that I'll never finish a project, i.e., a story, a book, a script.
There were people to see, lovely friends from long ago that I still consider my closest friends, and places to go: Philli, Providence and Canajoharie. There were my kids. One of the main reasons I come to this loft is to make a little, funky home in the middle of NYC for awhile. Not having my kids around in LA is sort of like torture by hip hop, an annoyance that builds and builds. But for them when I'm around, it's also torture; I can see their annoyance with me, the parental figure still telling them what to do.
As they get increasingly more independent and stay away from home longer, being in their life like this might not make sense anymore. What is it, exactly, they need from me? Sometimes I have to admit, past a certain age, not much. I remember that same feeling with my parents, annoyed when they called, or antsy sitting at dinner with them wishing they'd leave already. Maybe this is karma coming back to haunt me, but maybe this is how it should be, or rather, just how it is.
I didn't write everyday and I had lots of excuses but I'm trying not to, in the parlance of therapy, beat myself up about it. I took off from the point I had imagined, and although I didn't quite get there, I made a good start.
Taking off on White Street
Goodbye good friends; goodbye NYC; goodbye, especially, goodbye loft; you won't be the same when I get back, but please take me in again.

WASHINGTON – Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman expressed pleasure Tuesday at the signing of his Electronic Government Act, legislation that will improve citizen access to government information and services, the privacy of personal information held by the government, and the security of the government’s underlying information infrastructure. President Bush signed the bill at a White House ceremony, which Lieberman was unable to attend.
“The president’s signing of this bill today brings the federal government fully into the electronic age, giving taxpayers the same round-the-clock access to government that they have come to expect from the private sector,” Lieberman said. “And, with its emphasis on better management of information services, this law will significantly add to our overall homeland defenses.”
Lieberman introduced the Electronic Government Act in May 2001, after having received electronic comment from interested parties via a special website established to engage the public in the legislative process. The bill was voted out of the Governmental Affairs Committee in March 2002, and Lieberman shepherded it to final Senate passage in June 2002. The measure passed the House in November.
“The idea behind this law is for the federal government to take full advantage of the Internet and other information technologies to improve its efficiency and to secure its electronic information. We hope it will also encourage the public to participate to a greater degree in government, with full confidence that personal privacy and public safety will be protected.” The law would:

Briercrest edges Red Deer in battle of ACAC Power-houses
The Briercrest volleyball team looked to improve on last year’s 4th place finish at the CCAA Nationals as they hosted the Red Deer Queens in an important contest. Last season, Briercrest captured the season series 3-1, and early in the 2016-17 campaign, the teams share top spot in the South Division.
The teams traded points through the early portion of set one, with Red Deer’s Miranda Dawe and Briercrest’s Adriana Dewar pacing the early action. Aces by Karina Peterson and Ashley Zacharias and clever attacks by Sam Zacharias gave Briercrest a 17-13 lead. Janae Rapley ripped off a string of aces and delivering several punishing kills from the weak side and back row as Briercrest cruised to a 25-18 win.
Even play marked the beginning of game two. Once again, Red Deer’s Miranda Dawe delivered an effective attack from the power side, while Briercrest veterans Janae Rapley and Sam Zacharias pounded the ball from both sides and stung a quartet of aces to give Briercrest a 10-7 lead. Crafty hitting by Red Deer and some Briercrest errors allowed the visitors to snatch an 18-14 lead. Kristy Kindrachuk made a miraculous dig while on her back and Janae Rapley finished the point to bring Briercrest close, but Miranda Dawe delivered the last blow to give the set to Red Deer, 25-23.
Aggressive serving by Adriana Dewar and Karina Peterson allowed Briercrest to race to a 7-2 advantage in the third set, and Ashley Zacharias effectively rotated her setting targets as Briercrest pushed the lead to 16-9, but stalwart Red Deer team defense and tough serving by Queen’s McKenna Olson allowed the visitors to claw their way back and grab a 22-21 lead. Again, miscues by Briercrest at crucial moments of the set allowed Red Deer to steal it, 25-22.
A combination of lucky defense and erratic offense by both teams made for a sloppy start to the fourth set, but Sam Zacharias asserted her savvy veteran leadership to stabilize the Briercrest attack. With Briercrest leading 16-15, Janae Rapley launched three rockets from the service line and Kristy Kindrachuk scored an impossible point while splayed out on her stomach to push the Briercrest lead to 20-17. The Queens stepped up their defense and tied the set at 22-22, but Sam Zacharias and Janae Rapley delivered the finishing attacks to ensure a 25-22 victory for the Clippers.
In the deciding set, Sam Zacharias brought the crowd to their feet by nearly decapitating a Red Deer defender. Briercrest showed some uncharacteristic nerves as the Queens raced to a brief 7-4 advantage, but Janae Rapley rifled a pair of hard spikes and Sam Zacharias matched her with two aces. Red Deer’s Miranda Dawe, who was a hitting force through the first four sets, made a pair of crucial errors. Karina Peterson delivered a kill in the middle before Janae Rapley ended the match with a sideline ace, giving Briercrest the set 15-12, and the match 3-2.
Briercrest’s Player of the Game was setter Ashley Zacharias, who recorded a match-high 43 assists to go along with six kills. Kristy Kindrachuk was spectacular on defense, collecting 21 digs, while Samantha Zacharias and Janae Rapley combined for 27 kills. Red Deer’s Miranda Dawe claimed POG honours with 19 kills and 7 digs.

We invite you to examine the clothes which might be presently available within the Parenting Heart (Room 111). Now we have to speak about the issues that get in the best way of wholehearted residing – vulnerability, fear, and disgrace, as a way to experience love and joy. Parenting tip: Cherish the day you purchase your first minivan because that will be the last day it is ever clean. It is such a cornucopia of assets that there is something for each parent and each stage of parenting. We wish to show them they’re both loved and worthy of love; however that the principles do and all the time will, apply to them.
We realized that hurtful feedback had been nothing more than blowing off steam, and that love was more vital than something. However wholesome and strong parenting means it’s a must to think of your kids and be there for them till the very time they do leave. This produces habits response as opposed to pro-motion, which is having a plan in place that defines boundaries and penalties for inappropriate habits.

Re: “After a Son’s Suicide, a Mother Finds Blame in Herself and in Her Church,” New York Times/8/25/12“
A hypothetical open letter to Mrs.Clementi
Dear Mrs. Clementi:
I was saddened to read your comments in the above article. As the mother of a 29 year-old gay son, I share your concerns. For fourteen months now, I have been writing a blog for straight parents of gay and lesbian children. Despite our commonalities, never having lost a son, I don’t pretend to know the depth of your despair.
It was painful for me to read about the guilt you still feel and hold accountable for Tyler’s premature death. It is normal for parents to feel guilt after a suicide and to play the alternatives over and over in their head such as “ If only I had … What if ? I could have…” I’m sure you will never get over Tyler’s death, but I hope, the pain will lessen. I trust your work with a foundation promoting acceptance of gay and lesbian teens will help you feel better.
You said that you were hurt that Tyler didn’t open up about his sexual orientation until a few days before he was entering Rutgers University. You thought you had a “pretty open” relationship.” Your reaction is common. Tyler may have known since middle school that he was gay but with many gay and lesbian children, they know they are disappointing their parents with this earthshaking revelation, particularly in a family with three boys, and the middle son, James, is already out. In traditional families, gay children may feel as if they are destroying their parents’ dreams for them. It is not only the parents’ expectation for the child, but the child’s expectation for his/her own future which has to be reevaluated.
So you’re split- second reaction was not uncommon: you were caught off-guard and responded accordingly. “How do you know? Who are you going to talk to? Who are you going to tell? “ Your response was not one of rejection of Tyler, as his text implied to his friend, but most likely, fear and shame associated with outing the family. This is a common response by parents who are not prepared for the blindsiding news. As your husband, Joe, pointed out, Tyler’s dramatic reaction was typical of a teenager.
You say that you were not ready to tell friends who later confided that they too had gay children, that you wanted to protect Tyler (you were correct to not out him without his permission) and yourself from the harsh judgment of others. It is the criticism of homophobic outsiders who keep many families silent.
Your local church, you thought, did not provide support for you nor Tyler, who didn’t think he could be “Christian and gay.” As you said, “you can not pray gay away.” You’ll be glad to know that the California State Assembly has recently approved a groundbreaking ban on so-called ex-gay or reparative therapy aimed at minors.
I have known many parents who have left their churches for lack of support. However, there are gay-friendly alternatives such as The Metropolitan Community Church and welcoming organizations such as for Christians such as Dignity, Inc. (Catholic) www.dignity.org or Integrity, Inc. ( Episcopal) www.integrity.org. to name a few. It may interest you to know that the leader of the Episcopal Church, Gene Robinson, is openly gay and advocates same-sex marriage.
No one institution or person can be blamed for Tyler’s suicide. Joe’s comment that Tyler’s “ bad luck of roommate lottery” and the other students’ willingness to further invade Tyler’s privacy by watching the webcam video are to blame. Are they collectively accomplices?. This deplorable act was, in my opinion, “the last straw” for Tyler. If anyone is to blame, it’s our society at large which doesn’t respect diversity. As you stated, “my children don’t need to be changed. What needs changing are attitudes.”
The trial of Tyler’s roommate, and the press spotlighting you and your family may have felt as if the public were forcing you, earlier than expected, to come out of the closet in such a powerful way. It’s wonderful that you have found relief in not hiding what others may regard as your family’s business although “it is not something you would have done on your own.”
As you astutely observed, parents need to come out of the closet, too. Many do with the help of an organization like PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) www.pflag.org. Some go to the privacy of a therapist’s office. Others can’t deal with it all, reject their children, and throw them out of the house. Almost 40% of teen runaways are GLBT rejected kids. Still others like yourself, become activists.
I hope you have found fulfillment with the work you and Joe are now doing to prevent suicide. It’s a testament to your and your husband’s love for Tyler. I wish you peace.

A: Actually, I have several that work like this. The roots do not have to be anywhere near the water reservoir. Dry dirt wicks the water up to the roots. Even without a plant all of the water will become and stay moistened, as long as you moisten beforehand one time to begin the wicking. As the dirt dries it brings it up by capillary action. Just as a paper towel held over water the pull the water up. If you let the reservoir dry out however, you'll have to water the entire thing again from the top for it to start again.
A: The person who said the roots need to be reaching the bottom before you can utilize the self watering feature is completely wrong! They don’t understand that the roots get the water from the dirt and don’t have to directly touch or get close to the actual water reservoir. They must think that when you water a plant from above you put water directly on the roots and that’s how the plant drink but that’s not how it works! Roots get water and nutrients from the soil and this planter keeps the soil perfectly damp , just give it a good watering from above in the beginning of use and make sure your reservoir doesn’t dry out!
A: Hi Kkees - We're glad you asked! This planter includes a built-in tray to retain water and a small port for easy watering with a hose or a narrow-spout watering can. When watering from the bottom, the plant draws up the water as needed, reducing the need to water as frequently. Thanks! - Julie
A: There is a lot of unhelpful advice in this thread, IMO. The Target support staff need to post some hard facts about how to best use a planter with the "self-watering" feature and what soil works too!
A: Best for plants which cant tolerate dry soil. only a bit of soil reaches into water and thats its wick. doesn't cause gnats, bringing in buggy soil does! try a drop of dish soap in water, above & below.
A: I've had a plant in this pot for months and the water never absorbs into the plant from the bottom. I think you would need a wick or rope which isn't included.
A: This is a poorly designed pot. Just wait till you try and get water in that silly hole at the bottom. If using a watering can it is so far down that the can spout is horizontal and pouring all over the floor before you are anywhere near the filling hole. The only use I can imagine it would be is outdoors with a hose. The fill point should be at the top - not the bottom.
A: Keep in mind, the plant needs to have been in the pot long enough to have grown roots down to the bottom. You'll need to water the plan as-normal (from the top) until this happens. I'm 2 months in and my plant still required to be watered from above, as the roots have not reach the bottom reservoir yet.
A: The person who said the roots need to reach the bottom before you can utilize the self watering feature is completely wrong! The soil wicks up the water and the roots get their water from the soil, the roots don’t have to actually touch the water they get it from the soil. Just give the plants a good watering at the start of using this product and as long as you don’t let the reservoir dry out then the soil will stay perfectly damp. If it does dry out then just give the plants a good watering from above and refill the reservoir and all is well, doesn’t matter how long the roots are, this person just thinks that the roots have to physically touch the water or be close to it for some reason but no roots get their nutrients and water from the soil so you’re basically watering the soil not the plant, Although some plants like to get a nice mist on their leaves so you could still do that but it’s not a must.
A: Hi - Great question. The planter is designed to input water at the bottom in the hole provided. When watering from the bottom, the plant is able to absorb the water as needed. Hope this helps! - Taylor
A: Place the pot in a sink/container with enough tepid water to cover the base of the planter, it will take what it needs.
A: I believe you would have to repot. That is how the self-watering feature works
A: Keep in mind, the plant needs to have been in the pot long enough to have grown roots down to the bottom. You'll need to water the plant as-normal (from the top) until this happens. I'm 2 months in and my plant still required to be watered from above, as the roots have not reach the bottom reservoir yet.
A: Hi Missy! Your ivy is over-watered and rotting. You can save it by letting it dry out. Stop watering from above. Only water from below, as is suggested, or, remove it and try a new pot!
A: I had this issue with all my planters I solved it by putting a hole with my drill on the side of the planter. no more issues after and they retain water.
A: I would dump the water out. If the bottom stays wet for too long it can cause the roots to rot. That may be why your plant is turning brown.
A: Hi Missy - Thanks for stopping by! We suggest consulting with a nursery for gardening tips. This planter includes a built-in tray to retain water and a small port for easy watering with a hose or a narrow-spout watering can. When watering from the bottom, the plant draws up the water as needed, reducing the need to water as frequently. I hope this helps! - Dee
A: No way! Support your fig with something weightier.
A: You can put some pebbles or gravels at the bottom to add weight.
A: Hi whathefig - We appreciate you browsing Target for your potting needs. These plastic planters are relatively lightweight. I hope this helps. Thanks! - Philip
A: Yes it comes off. Has good drainage
A: Yes, the bottom saucer comes off and then clicks back into place.
A: No it it connected as far as I can tell.
A: I’d suggest you check your plant’s roots, as well as the measurements of the pot it’s currently in. Plant’s heights aren’t always proportionate with their root system.
A: I’d recommend something with a more stable base. I have a 3’x3’ monstera planted in one. It’s not very heavy, but the pot over-turned when I slid it a few inches on hardwood floor. The pot is attractive and economical - but *VERY* lightweight.
A: Hi Dakota4919 - We appreciate you shopping Target for your patio and garden needs. Please visit a nursery or consult with an arborist regarding planter depth for trees. Thanks! - Philip
A: Pull hard! I really had to yank mine. After looking at comments and YouTube videos, it looks like you wouldn't even need to open it, just fill it through the small hole in the side. I'm just starting mine today!
A: Hi New - That's a great question! Yes, the bottom saucer can be removed by dethatching and then clicks back into place. Hope this helps! - Patricia
A: Hey Han, If you are going to use the self watering feature you probably wouldn't want to plant succulents or cactus in this pot as they usually do better when soil drys out a bit and this keeps the soil most. It would be good for several ferns and house plants though! Hope that helps.
A: Hi Han - Thanks for asking! You can use any type of plant that you would like. We hope this helps! - Jerith
A: Pots are measures by diameter. 8" pot is 8 inches in diameter across the top
A: Hi KT - We're glad you asked! This pot is 8" in width and 7" in depth. Thanks for stopping by! - Gao
A: Hello - The diameter at the bottom of the inside of the planter is approx. 13 inches. The bottom diameter of the planter, portion that sides on the ground, is approx. 12 inches in diameter. Hope this helps answer your question. Take care and enjoy your day! - Alex

Laboratory of Energy Policy at the University of Ljubljana
The EU-funded project shows how energy communities under varying regulatory schemes, leveraging different financing mechanisms and using different technologies can work within grid constraints and find optimisations. The crucial common aspect is cooperation within the community to fully control decentralised local energy systems. This leads to a secure, sustainable and decarbonised energy supply with all actors along the energy value chain engaged.
About the Practice:
The project aims to empower local energy systems and to enable optimal integration and control of all the energy vectors, storage and electromobility options to maximise decarbonisation and energy savings while fostering the creation of energy communities. It creates new ways to stimulate actors in the value
chain to cooperate to maximise the societal benefit, foster the adoption of the technological solutions and enable a large-scale replication of the developed technological solutions and business models.
This practice was the winner of the 2021 'Good Practice of the Year' award in the category of Communication and Engagement.

I make a soup similar to this with butternut squash. Halved and roasted with onions. Use sodium free chicken stock, thyme and a little butter and nutmeg if desired. After skin is discarded, use imerson blender to purée. Save most squash seeds to roast with olive oil and paprika or kosher salt.
Martha Stewart Member
This puree is delicious for any soup. I did not use nutmeg. I used the puree in a chicken soup. The soup included celery, onions, a can of chicken broth and sliced chicken breast. DELICIOUS for Lunch or Dinner!

This documentary effectively, though subtly, shows that low-income schools have to address barriers of which Middle American/suburban schools never have to dream. So much of the staff had to spend their time motivating learners when class-privileged students take their specialness as a given. So much time is addressed on behavioral problems that it sucks away time from learning. These children have to grow up quickly: they speak of drugs and racism firsthand at a time when privileged children are drawing pictures of dragons and begging for more toys than they need.
I now understand why principal applicants in my large city must take rigorous examinations before they are hired. The principal valiantly wore so many hats: parent figure, disciplinarian, group leader, economizer, etc. I must admit that I was shocked to see a class-privileged, Caucasian I woman care so much about poor, black kids. Seeing her cry near the end truly affected me. Still, she spoke about "inequity" and I wish that she would have stopped dancing around the issue of racism. Further, there may have been too much focus upon her and not enough focus on the teachers, some of whom seemed very interesting.
This book reminded me of the academic text "Troubled Boys, Promising Girls." Here, all the boys are shown as having problems, while one girl is shown as being parentless, but still gifted.Read more ›

27 August – 30 October 2005
From Dada to Fluxus, Conceptual Art to the nineties generation, humour has been at the core of art as both a visual strategy and a philosophical process. Rather than straightforwardly presenting the comic, satire, irony or the grotesque, the theme of this exhibition is art that makes a precise incision into the mechanisms of humour itself. When we get hung out to dry, exposed, unsure of whether the poignancy allows us to laugh or cry. When Humour Becomes Painful.
Since Freud, humour has been regarded as the clearest manifestation of a collective unconscious, the returned debris of the repressed social self. Humour and art have much in common, both acting as a bridge to an irrational world of intuition and instinct. They also share the same marginal social spaces, where norms, morals and taboos are confronted head-on. In this way wit, irony, and the comic function as psychological ventilators, allowing failure and existential angst to be dealt with and better understood.
The subversive power of humour makes it impossible to define. Concerned with human behaviour, humour is not an abstract feeling or atmosphere but rather a method of dealing with these, and can be understood only through experience. Bringing recent art historical precedents such as George Maciunas’ Flux Smile Machine and Joseph Beuys’ Capri Batterie together with contemporary work, this exhibition is about art that seduces us in the first instance with its evident humour, to then stop us in our tracks with the more painful or uncomfortable themes that it uses humour to explore. The participating artists never employ humour, whether formally or in terms of content, as an end in itself but use it in order to create a space in which, through criticism, provocation and exposure, they can investigate other emotions, relationships and connections.
The ambivalence of humour, its ability to shift between the utopian and the destructive, intelligence and stupidity, and perhaps most important of all its refusal of absolute values, lies at the heart of the twentieth century art movements that continue to exert an influence on today’s artists. Formal links can be made between Anna & Bernhard Blume’s absurd world of inanimate objects brought to life and Boyd Webb’s surreal universes. Fluxus and early performance used humour provocatively as a means of both attacking socially acceptable norms and seeking a new function for art. Deconstructions of the male artist persona by Vito Acconci and Jurgen Klauke employ wit to confront aggressive and sexual taboos head-on, forming connections with the more recent explorations of artists such as John Bock or Klara Liden. These and other artists in the exhibition do not tell the viewer how to react, but rather suspend them in limbo between amusement and discomfort, the playful and the serious, pessimism and optimism.
Wit in the relationship between image and language is one of the clearest pairings of nonsense and intellect. Fischli & Weiss and Jake & Dinos Chapman employ titles that create a crucial tension with the work itself, while the manipulation of speech is intrinsic to the relationship between humour and discomfort in the videos of Mark Wallinger and Beagles & Ramsay.
From Bruce Nauman’s angst-ridden pacings in his studio and the self portrayals of Jan Fabre or Mark Wallinger that approach the grotesque, to Alex Bag’s tongue-in-cheek interviews or Peter Land’s absurd photographic narratives, artists have frequently used their own body to explore artistic self-doubt. This ironic self-reflection injects a human dimension into their work, but also provides the artists with the freedom to stand outside both society and the art world – Martin Kippenberger is one such master of self-reflection. Although the artists always risk failing to seduce the viewer through humour, in choosing to use the comic to reveal weakness they are consciously refusing to enter power relationships. In this way the combination of humour and art presents a charged political reaction against contemporary models of organisation and behaviour.
The artists in the exhibition employ material and media in ways that highlight contradiction, overturn hierarchies and reduce the world to a human scale. The wit in the interpretations by Jake & Dinos Chapman of ethnographic imagery relies on a collective understanding of subversive humour; Hans Peter Feldmann and Jean-Frederic Schnyder plunder the tragi-comic nature of kitsch; and the dumb banality of Thomas Zipp’s barbecues condenses petty bourgeois aspirations into a single satirical gesture. This strategy of placing the everyday in doubt, of presenting the familiar alongside its distorted mirror image has, since Fluxus, continued to influence contemporary artists’ explorations of the processes of perception by revealing the bizarre within the banal or the potential chaos within order. In choosing to explore the mechanisms of humour, these and the other artists in the exhibition are stretching to the limit art’s ability to generate ambivalence and uncertainty, and also its potential for shredding existing and creating new meaning.

[JPL] RE: Kenny Drew's statements

Mon Apr 10 04:37:30 EDT 2006
I understand and for the most part agree with Kenny's point, but what about artists like Q-Tip, Common, and all of the artists on the recent Sergio Mendes CD? There are always good artists out there that don't seem to get all of the attention as the over-hyped, lowest common denominator artists, regardless of genre. Hello Britney Spears = dawn of music apocalypse. Hasn't this been true since the beginning of popular music? I suppose dig and support what you like and let the masses unwilling to really seek out good stuff (or unexposed to if all they listen to is commercial radio) go on being spoon-fed crap. (Sorry, just chiming in, not meaning to sound critical, but I'm in a bad mood).

State’s agriculture department confirms emerald ash borer presence in Cass County
The invasive emerald ash borer has found its way into another county in Minnesota.
According to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA), the species has been found in Cass County, the 45th in the state to have an infestation. Just last month, the species was found in Mille Lacs and Benton Counties, and in August, in McLeod County.
An emergency quarantine area is now in effect. That area is defined with the use of county borders to the south and east, and to the west, Minnesota Highway 84 to County Road 79 and then east to the county line. The northern border of the quarantined area uses Minnesota Highway 200 west to County Road 129, south to County Road 7, and then west to Minnesota Highway 84.
CLICK HERE for a visual representation of the quarantined area in Cass County, as well as other quarantined areas across the state. It was first found in Minnesota back in 2009, seven years after it was first found in southeast Michigan, the first it was sighted in North America.
The species is native to eastern Russia, northern China, Japan and Korea. If you see an infestation, you’re asked to call 888-545-6684 or report it by following THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
In addition to all non-coniferous firewood, logs, tree waste as well as chips and mulch from ash trees are considered to be regulated by the MDA.
The MDA says a comment period for the emergency quarantine is also in effect through Nov. 27, and the formal quarantine is expected to be adopted on Nov. 29.
Anyone with questions or comments about the proposed quarantine can be sent to THIS E-MAIL.
CLICK HERE for the MDA’s state emergency quarantine declaration for Cass County.


Teens are moving away from stunts like the Knockout Game to even more dangerous behavior. Now they are purposefully setting themselves on fire, the videos are pretty disturbing!
The Fire Challenge has teens dousing their bodies with flammable liquids and then setting themselves on fire while friends capture it on video. This is all for a few hundred likes and shares on social media.
And many of them are getting severely hurt as not everyone is quick enough to put out the flames.
Dr. Charles Williams say this social media trend is a recipe for disaster.
“Some young people are almost willing to do anything for attention and this is an indication of that,” said Dr. Charles Williams.
Last week, Michael Symonettemalem,14 was treated for second-degree burns after participating in the challenge.
"EMS arrived and found a 14-year-old with burns across his body," said Lt. Dean Hensley with the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office. "The patient told investigators that he was playing a 'fire challenge' game by pouring isopropyl alcohol on himself and igniting it with a lighter while standing in the shower."
The teen was taken to Texas Children's Hospital where he was treated for his injury and later released.
Williams says parents should limit their teen's social media activity to intervene with dangerous behavior.


760 has ideal flow characteristics which give it an advantage over other propellants with similar burn rates. Recommended for use with 7mm-08 Remington and 30-06 Springfield.
Other Important Information:
- Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide.
- Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source.
- Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute.

There is nothing that will stop President Rupiah Banda from winning the elections this year, United Liberal Party leader Sakwiba Sikota has declared.
In an interview, Sikota said out of the three contenders in this year’s election only President Banda has a clear vision on how to run the affairs of the nation.
He said it is sad that opposition political parties and their leaders have chosen to mislead the country about the economic growth the incumbent president has scored in the past three years he has been President.
“It is now clear that President Banda is retaining power, looking at the current contenders, no one can match President Banda and they will not stop him from coming out victorious in this year’s elections, people want to see a leader who has a heart for the people, a leader who can point a finger at something and President Banda has something to talk about,” said Sikota who a fortnight ago announced that his party will not contest this year’s election but will support the MMD and its candidates.
He said people seeking public office should first explain what they will do to reduce poverty and create jobs for young people. He said they should show how different their approach would be different from what president Banda is already doing.
“People must know that the ongoing debates ahead of the elections this year on the personality of President Banda are meant to sway the electorates. But I can assure you that Zambians are very intelligent people who will always look back where they have come from, President Banda has delivered,” he said.
He said President Banda has proved to the Zambian people that he is capable of guiding the country to economic prosperity.
“We must learn to appreciate the achievements of the MMD government in the last three years. Just look at the levels of infrastructure development, look at the successes his administration has recorded in the mining sector on the Copperbelt, look at the bumper harvest this country has been recording in the past three years under his leadership, so what more do you want from a government?” he asked.
Sikota told the Watchdog that it will be pointless to oppose the leadership that has delivered economic developments, adding that the people of Zambia should not risk voting for any opposition political party in order for the country to continue recording economic gains.
