McCordial relations
Brian Young wrote the book because he was mad.

He was mad that the McCord, a museum that he regards as maybe the best of its kind, had, in his view, progressively severed its links to McGill's scholarly community. Mad that McGill has always maintained an uneasy view of the McCord despite its great wealth of unique research materials.
He was mad at the McCord's leadership, mad at McGill's leadership and mad at the philanthropic leaders of English Montreal.
Today, he's not quite as mad. He even says there is room for optimism. But many of the concerns that drove him to write The Making and Unmaking of a University Museum: The McCord, 1921 - 1996 remain in place.
Young, a history professor who specializes in Montreal's past, is anything but a passive chronicler of the McCord.
As a member of the museum's board during a particularly turbulent period and as a leading figure in an effort to forge closer links between the museum and the University, Young was an active participant in some of the events outlined in his book.
The book chronicles the McCord's long, sometimes odd history. The McCords were powerful players in the early days of Montreal -- a wealthy, influential family that arrived in the city in the 1780s and quickly became prominent members of Montreal's English elite. "If it moved and it was English, they had their fingers in it," Young says of the family.
David Ross McCord and his siblings became the last of the Montreal McCords when they failed to produce heirs. David Ross trained to be a lawyer but lost his appetite for the profession as time went on. He developed a new calling and became a passionate collector of items related to Canadian history -- particularly if they related to the history of the English community in his city. His interests ranged from military matters to aboriginal societies and the collection he built reflected this.
Young says McCord was unusual in this respect; most of the wealthy collectors who were his contemporaries preferred to dabble in art and artifacts connected to Europe or Egypt.
McCord gave his collection to McGill in 1920, despite his reservations that the University wasn't nearly as excited as it ought to be about its windfall. When McCord died 10 years later, leaving the University little money for the expensive maintenance of the collections, McGill leaders grumbled in return.
According to Young's book, that ambivalence has pretty much characterized McGill's relationship with the McCord ever since. The museum opened in 1921. A decade later, the Carnegie Corporation termed the collection "priceless." A few years after receiving that rave review, McGill shut the place down and kept it closed to the public for the next three decades.
The costs associated with maintaining the collections have long been a sore point with McGill, acknowledges Young. But he figures there are other factors that have led McGill's movers and shakers to be less than enamoured of the place, especially earlier on.
In previous decades, McGill's board of governors tended to be dominated by rough and tumble businessmen. "McGill was driven by male values -- science, sports, war, industry. But on the outskirts of the University, there was this collection of dresses, dishes and paintings. I think it was something of an embarrassment to them. They certainly weren't going to invest in it."
Despite this lack of enthusiasm for the collections, they continued to grow. In 1956, McGill received the Notman Photographic Archives, a collection of 700,000 items, including 400,000 historically significant photos taken between 1856 and 1940 by the famed Notman studios. The McCord's collections were housed in cramped quarters, sometimes beneath leaky roofs.
Given his theory about McGill governors' testosterone levels and the dampening effect it had on their enthusiasm for the McCord, Young thinks it's no accident that the person who kicked life back into the museum was a woman, Isabel Dobell. "She was a powerhouse," Young says of Dobell, a writer who was hired part-time in 1955 to do an inventory of the McCord's collections.
Dobell ended up doing much more than that. A persistent lobbyist within McGill and a talented fundraiser who was on a first-name basis with many of Montreal's wealthiest families, Dobell made the revitalization of the McCord her life's work. She was instrumental in paving the way for the reopening of the museum in 1971.
According to Young, in the years that followed, McGill and the McCord embarked on a strained relationship. The McCord wanted more money than McGill wanted to give. McGill wanted more recognition of its role; McCord officials preferred to play up their autonomy. Quarrels broke out over control of paintings given to McGill but housed at the McCord.
Another complication was that, as the McCord and McGill turned increasingly to the government for financial support, governments insisted that the museum tailor itself to public demand. Young believes that as a result, pressure mounted for the McCord to downplay its research function.
In 1980, the McCord incorporated. This set the stage for better access to government and philanthropic support. It also weakened McGill's authority over the running of the place although the University continued to be the owner of the building and its collections.
More turf battles ensued. There was tension over potentially competing capital campaigns. Then, in the late 1980s and early '90s, came a period that particularly troubled Young. The McConnell Foundation made a $30-million investment in the McCord that resulted in a bigger, more modern museum. The donation also further weakened McGill's say in how the place was run.
David Lank became the chair of the board of trustees, anxious to encourage more visitors to the place and grumbling that "McGill did nothing" to support the museum. He and Young butted heads over an advertisement for a new McCord director -- one that didn't insist on any academic orientation toward the study of Canadian history or culture.
The director who was hired, Claude Benoît, focused her attention on making the McCord a more popular attraction. When Notman Archives curator Stanley Triggs, an invaluable resource for researchers, retired, he wasn't replaced. Pamela Miller and other curators were chastised for spending too much time assisting researchers. Miller was subsequently fired. A McGill course on material culture that hoped to make extensive use of the museum's collections was sent packing.
Young was furious with what he regarded as "this great pressure to just count how many people went through the turnstiles." He spearheaded a campaign protesting Benoît's moves and lobbied for closer links between McGill and the McCord.
Young insists he's not a snob. He recognizes that the McCord must organize crowd-pleasers like its recent exhibitions on the histories of hockey and baseball to appeal to the public. But he is concerned that academic museums are leaning in this direction a little too hard.
"A museum like the McCord can do both. It can have the baseball shows and it can do solid intellectual work.
"If you trot out James Duncan's superb paintings from the 1830s and '40s and put them on a wall in front of schoolchildren, they might see their beauty, but they won't see the historical context. For that, you need curators and scholars. You need to explain the significance of the items. You have to have anthropologists, art historians, sociologists all working together. Otherwise, a museum is just a pretty place to have corporate cocktails."
Young adds that museums have to present more than just baseball exhibitions. "We also need to have some provocative shows, shows that might upset people and make them think." He muses that the McCord's remarkable collection of aboriginal artifacts, coupled with the expertise of somebody like anthropology professor Bruce Trigger, an expert on natives, might make for a controversial exhibition.
Young has some sympathy for McGill's reluctance to operate the McCord; running a university is hard enough. Still, he thinks the university administrators have been narrow-minded in the way they regard the McCord.
"The University is so science-oriented, it fails to see that these collections are research jewels. The McCord is a laboratory of the past. McGill shouldn't just view the collections as a financial drain. Most labs are financial drains."
He believes the University should boldly advocate on the McCord's behalf, the way it does when it raises funds for a cancer centre, instead of treating the museum with lukewarm enthusiasm. He also thinks Montreal's English community should take greater pride in the McCord's role as a chronicler of its past. He says the community "has been too much of a milquetoast" in its reluctance to promote its own heritage.
David Bourke, the current chair of the McCord's board of trustees, isn't much of a fan of Young's book. As McGill's secretary-general during the period in which Young contends the McCord strayed too far from the University, Bourke was responsible for McGill's museums and sees the relationship between the University and the McCord quite differently.
McGill might have been uncertain about how to deal with the McCord during much of its history, but it wasn't distinct in that regard; there were plenty of museums and universities in the same boat.
"People gave their collections to universities because they didn't have anywhere else to give them. The Royal Ontario Museum used to be a University of Toronto museum," Bourke notes.
Most universities had problems funding these museums. Most have given up control of the museums in order to enable the institutions to have access to better funding.
If anything, Bourke believes the changes have allowed the McCord to become the robust national institution David Ross McCord wanted it to be.
"It's not a cozy little research hole for five McGill professors," says Bourke. "It's much more than that.
"We must be one of only a very few North American museums that features thousands of images from its collection on its web site. We're working with the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada and the faculties of education at McGill and the Université du Québec à Montréal to develop tools to teach Canadian history to high school students.
"Brian's book makes it sound as if the McCord is in a hell of a mess. On the contrary, it's never been stronger. If the changes hadn't been made, the McCord probably would be closed today."
Young himself sees encouraging signs. The museum's new director, Victoria Dickenson, is a historian who has welcomed researchers and classes back to the McCord, and Young supports the museum's web-site offerings.
You can be sure that he will keep careful watch over the next phase of the museum's development. "The history of our community is there, tied to those objects."

For anyone who worshipped the Met's "Savage Beauty" exhibit on Alexander McQueen, boy do we have a listing for you.
The late fashion designer's penthouse in London's wealthy Mayfair neighborhood has just hit the market for £8.5 million (roughly $10 million). At the time of McQueen's death by suicide in 2010, the apartment was in the midst of a heavy renovation (McQueen's body was found in a nearby apartment he was renting on Greene Street). The current owner, who bought it from McQueen's estate, continued the renovations and even added portraits of McQueen and his muse Isabella Blow, fashion images and skull motifs.
"The current owner bought it as an investment, but later wanted to refurbish it as an homage to Alexander McQueen," the property's broker told WWD.
McQueen was not the only famous resident of the property either; the blue plaque property (which indicates that a notable person once lived there) was also the home of beloved author PG Wodehouse.
According to the listing, the flat takes up the top two floors of the building, and is currently arranged as a two bedroom but can be adapted into a three bedroom (the dressing area of the master bedroom is apparently big enough for a bedroom). There's also a 731-square-foot terrace, a reception room and an open fireplace.

- 17-year-old now knows relationship with girl was his 'the biggest mistake'
- Started when he was 14 and moved him with his father's new family
- Victim was younger than him and was his father's girlfriend's daughter
- He was caught by their parents but couldn't stay away from girl
- Intervention by NSPCC helped him change his ways
A teenager has admitted he deeply regrets sexually abusing a girl who was younger than him and below the age of consent.
Louis (not his real name), 17, from Devon, has said he made 'the biggest mistake' of his life when he started a sexual relationship with the daughter of his father's girlfriend.
The college student said the relationship began innocently when he moved in with his father and his new family after his single mother decided he would be better off living with them.
Innocence lost: Now 17, Louis regrets a sexual relationship he had with a younger girl which took place when he was 14 (posed by model)
He said it was a difficult time but becoming an older brother figure to the girl made him feel loved.
He explains: 'My life turned upside down when my mum
moved away from the area, leaving me to live with my dad who I hadn't
seen for many years.
'When my mum left me, it felt like I had a piece missing for a while and I was left wondering what would happen next; it was a very upsetting time. I was so lonely, upset and confused.
'It was strange getting to know my dad, his partner and her
children. Dad and his
partner thought it was good that I could talk to the youngest girl and
when we went out together as a family we would hold hands like brother
and sister.'
He added that spending more time with the girl as a sibling led to something more sinister.
He said: 'Our relationship turned into a really close friendship and we would spend time together, going out to the park, watching movies - it was good until our close friendship turned into a sexual relationship.'
Louis was 14 at the time and the girl was younger than him. He said he didn't realise then that what he was doing was wrong and that she wasn't old enough to consent to his advances.
'I thought she was enjoying what we were doing and this led me in the wrong direction,' he now admits.
The abuse was eventually discovered by their parents but Louis said at this stage he still didn't fully comprehend the gravity of the situation or that what he was doing was wrong. His father trying to prevent him from being with the girl only made him want her more.
He said: 'Neither of us told anyone what was
happening but then I was caught performing indecent behaviour with her.
Dad and his girlfriend went mad when they caught us and they tried to
stop me being with her.
'Dad's telling off made me feel like no one cared
about me other than the girl so things did not change, instead they got
He added: 'When my dad and his partner realised they could not stop me getting close to her they called Children's Services and the police became involved. Boundaries were put in place to make sure the girl and I did not spend time together. But the boundaries didn't stop me. I managed to get away with most of what I had done by looking for the "golden opportunity" when we were not supervised properly, until I was caught again.'
Louis has shared his story as new figures released by the NSPCC have revealed that more than 8,000 under-18s in Britain were accused of sexual offences against other children in the last two years.
According to NSPCC figures, most under age victims of sexual abuse knew their alleged abuser and some of the most common crimes were teenage boys attacking female acquaintances
Like Louis's victim, most knew their alleged abuser and some of the most common crimes were teenage boys attacking female acquaintances.
The charity state that whilst these crimes are shocking, this
behaviour can be turned around if caught early. They offer a 'Turn the Page' programme to help young offenders change their behaviour and stop
them committing more sexual crimes as they get older.
It was thanks to this intervention from the NSPCC that Louis was able to turn his life around and his victim was also given the full support she needed.
Louis was moved into a foster home to keep him away from the victim and had counselling to help him understand why his behaviour was wrong.
'The NSPCC helped me to see that I was not taking responsibility for what was happening,' he explained. 'I had tricked myself into thinking it was a relationship. NSPCC taught me things like consent and the legal age you can agree to have a sexual relationship and this helped me to realise it was my fault.'
He added that the children's charity helped him get to the root of his own problems and that turning to the girl was not the answer.
Now three years on, he feels full of remorse for what happened and is determined to put the experience behind him and never commit such a crime again.
He said: 'The support I received from the NSPCC has
helped me recognise that people around me, even people I did not know,
do care about me. This has made me feel happy and determined to change
my life.
'I now feel I have the confidence, knowledge and skills to take full responsibility of my life. I only want to move in one direction toward a successful career, a respectful relationship and happy life.'
Louis is an example of how the NSPCC can offer support in horrific circumstances and prevent further abuse.
Peter Wanless, CEO of the NSPCC, said: 'It's deeply concerning that thousands of children are committing sexual offences including serious assaults and rape. For young children in particular we have to question the environment in which they are growing up that has led to them behaving in this way.
'Prevention has to be the key and that is recognising warning signs early and taking swift action. It could be that they have seen sexual activity that they are just too young to understand and are copying what they've seen.
'We also know that pornography for many older children is now part of life. Easy access to hard core, degrading and often violent videos on the internet is warping views of what is normal or acceptable behaviour. It is also feeding into "sexting" where teenagers are creating and distributing their own videos and images that are illegal and have led to prison sentences.
'But these children are not beyond help. If we act quickly and children receive therapy such as that provided by the NSPCC's "Turn the Page" service we can stop them becoming adult sex offenders.
'And, most importantly, their victims need support to overcome what has happened to them. Sexual offences, whether committed by another child or an adult, can have lifelong consequences.'
The charity advise parents to help keep their children safe by teaching them the 'Underwear Rule' which is a simple, effective and age appropriate way of telling children what is and isn't acceptable behaviour.
Parents simply tell their children that the area covered by their underwear should never be touched by anyone else.
Any adult worried about a child or in need of help and advice can contact the NSPCC's helpline on 0808 800 5000. Children and young people can contact ChildLine on 0800 1111.

How a bunion progresses
A bunion may start out as a slight curve on the inner edge of the foot,
but before long, it can turn into a red, protruding lump.
Individuals who dance, play sports, wear high heels regularly or have a hereditary predisposition to bunions may begin to notice at some point that their big toe is curving toward the others, and that a bony bump has formed at the toe's joint.
At this point, their bunion is merely a cosmetic issue, reports Remedy Health Media. However, the deformity is known to progress into a more serious problem.
As the big toe bends outward with greater severity, it stretches ligaments and tendons that are connected to bones in the feet. Eventually, the big toe will no longer align with the metatarsal bone, and the joint that connects the two will become enlarged and painful, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
It may also reach the point where range of motion is compromised and the bunion affects other toes, sometimes leading to hammer toe. This can cause severely hindered mobility and altered walking mechanics.Considering the effects of an advanced bunion on a person's quality of life, it's probably best to begin using bunion splints or orthotics at the first sign of a bunion or hammer toe. This may also help individuals avoid painful, costly bunion surgery.

What is Assisted Living?
An assisted living community is a residence for seniors who need help with the activities of daily living (ADLs) — activities such as bathing, dressing, eating and so on. Seniors in assisted living are encouraged to stay social and independent as much as possible. Because they're living in a community, they have many more opportunities for social interaction than they would living alone.
Assisted living communities typically offer exercise programs, social activities and day trips into the local community to help seniors stay active. These activities are of great value to seniors, with studies showing that they have a positive impact and help seniors stay healthy as they age. Many assisted living communities also provide residents with transportation to medical appointments.
Seniors can expect more than help with the ADLs at an assisted living community. Housekeeping chores are handled by the staff, who also help with medication management. Three healthy, well-balanced meals are served each day, so seniors don't have to handle the chores of cooking. In addition, nonmedical care is provided 24/7, and some medical care is also typically available. Seniors are able to take advantage of all this within a residential community that helps them feel at home.
Services Available in Assisted Living Communities in New York
Residents at an assisted living community in New York can expect all the help they need with ADLs, and the staff will usually help with medication management. Residents don't have to handle their own housekeeping or personal laundry, and staff also keep bed linens clean and changed.
Meals are also provided in an assisted living community, typically in a shared dining hall, where residents can enjoy social time as they dine. Most assisted living communities can accommodate the varying dietary needs of residents, and many offer a wide variety of meal choices. In addition, some larger facilities offer snack bars or cafes during non-meal hours.
Transportation is often available to medical appointments or to help residents run errands. In addition, many New York assisted living communities take full advantage of their location in the most exciting city in the world, arranging excursions for shopping, banking and library visits, afternoons at Broadway matinees, or day trips to Long Island or the Jersey Shore. Some assisted living communities also offer ample on-site amenities such as game rooms, media rooms and beauty salons.
Getting Ready to Move to Assisted Living In New York
In most cases, your loved one will have to undergo a couple of simple evaluations before joining an assisted living community. The first one involves a visit to your loved one's personal physician, who will review physical and mental condition to make sure an assisted living community is the right choice. The doctor also provides all the information the assisted living community might need — any special dietary needs, all current therapies or medical conditions, and a list of current medications.
Next, the assisted living community staff will meet with your loved one to determine how much help they need with the ADLs. Here, they're making sure that the facility is a good fit and can provide all the services required. If it's not a good match, the staff will probably be able to recommend another nearby assisted living community that can meet your loved one's needs.
Costs Associated with Assisted Living in New York
While New York can admittedly be an expensive city, assisted living communities are available across a wide pricing spectrum. Posh facilities that might easily be confused with a high-end hotel can run in the range of $10,000 per month, but more basic — and still highly livable — communities open their doors to residents in the neighborhood of $2,000 per month.
Many people find that when they break down their loved one's current expenses — rent, utilities, food, medical care and other basics — the cost of assisted living is actually extremely reasonable. Remember, those fees don't just cover rent. They also include all meals, housekeeping, laundry services and personal care to help with the ADLs. Included in that cost are also the amenities of the residential community, which may include social activities or a gym.
Look for a basic assisted living community if your loved one wouldn't be interested in all the extras and amenities that might run the price up. You can save even more money by opting for a shared room. These basic communities provide all the needed care and meals in a comfortable environment with well-trained staff on hand.
As for those more lavish, resort-style communities? You can expect the best on the high end of the payment options — large apartments that are elegantly appointed with pools or gyms. Residents at these communities often can take advantage of on-site medical care thanks to visits from physical therapists, occupational therapists and podiatrists, to name a few. They also enjoy customized meal plans that cater to their preferences.
In the middle of the spectrum are a wide array of boutique assisted living communities that combine home-style comfort with excellent care. In these communities, your loved one is likely to have a private apartment or room and a good range of meal choices. Look for a community that features the amenities your loved one is mostly likely to respond to, whether it's an exercise program or a book club.
When you work with our Seniorly Guides to find a home to love, this is always a free service for families. The Seniorly Guide is compensated directly from the community you eventually select in New York.
Assisted Living vs. Other Types of Senior Care
Seniors have many different types of residential care available to them, and assisted living sits right in the middle of a continuum of care. Those seniors who don't require any assistance with the ADLs might be very happy in an independent living community, while skilled nursing facilities are available to seniors who have more significant medical needs.
In an independent living community, seniors often own their homes and spend their time enjoying retirement. They handle their own meals, housekeeping, and medical and personal care. Many independent living communities host amenities that let seniors stay active and social.
On the other end of the spectrum, skilled nursing facilities, or nursing homes, provide medical care around the clock to seniors who need it. Many of the residents here aren't physically active, and often they have medical issues that require close attention 24/7.
Assisted living is a balance between these two options. Seniors can enjoy their independence while still receiving the personal care they need, and they're freed up from the need to handle chores such as housekeeping, cooking, and laundry.
Helpful Apps and Websites for Assisted Living in New York
New York is filled with services designed to make life easier and more convenient for city residents, and they're also helpful for seniors in assisted living. To get a glimpse of these services, here are a few out of the many delivery apps that New York has to offer:
- Amazon Prime Now can deliver almost anything item you might need right to your door within hours.
- GlamSquad will show up whenever you need a haircut or manicure.
- FancyHands is an errand-running service in which you can send someone to the shops or pick up needed items from a loved one.
- Wag, the walking service for your pet, connects you with dog walkers and ensures your furry friend can get outside even when you cannot.
Connecting with these services via your smartphone gives your loved one more time to enjoy life.
Resources for Caregivers in New York
Resources abound in New York City to help caregivers who are spending so much time helping their loved ones that they neglect their self-care. Whether you're looking for informational resources, support groups, respite care or advocacy programs, you'll find a helping hand ready and waiting.
- The New York Elder Caregiver Support Program: This offers a wide range of support services
- Kinship Navigator: This helps answer legal and other informational questions and acts as an advocacy program for kinship caregivers
- The Alzheimer's Association: This organization is on hand to help with issues and questions specific to memory care
Government Resources for Seniors in New York
The New York State Office for the Aging stands ready to help seniors, their families, and their caregivers, with the goal of keeping seniors as independent as possible for as long as possible. Programs are in place to help with caregiver resources, housing, emergency preparedness, elder abuse and transportation.
New York City's Department for the Aging also helps seniors connect with almost 90 programs designed to help with their aging-related concerns through its Age-Friendly NYC initiative. Programs include home care, caregiver support, senior centers, and adult day care, as well as support for LGBTQ seniors, elder abuse victims, homebound seniors, and those living in social isolation.
New York Demographics
With more than 8.5 million residents spread across its five boroughs, New York far outstrips every other city in the United States in size, and it's the most densely packed city in the country as well. New York is at the heart of the United States' and the world's economy, and it's an industry capital in tech, science, entertainment, education, art and media. With about 800 languages spoken in the city, it's a truly international city, and it also experiences extreme income diversity. The population is expected to continue increasing through 2040, with the largest growth occurring in The Bronx.
New York Weather
New York's weather ranges from warm and muggy in the summer to cold with regular snow during the winter. While rain can fall at any time of the year, summer brings clear skies, and spring and fall are often cool and crisp.
Transportation in and Around New York
New York's public transportation is efficient and reliable, covering almost every inch of the city. Hop on a bus for short trips, take a subway from borough to borough, or float to Staten Island on the ferry. Taxis also fill the streets, especially in Manhattan, and ferries also connect Manhattan to Brooklyn, Queens, and New Jersey.
Fun Facts About New York
Did you know that it's against the law to honk your car's horn in New York unless it's an emergency? (Apparently, no one actually driving knows about this law, either.) New York is filled with urban parks — the largest obviously being Central Park — but one of the most popular is the High Line, an elevated walkway of greenery and public art that runs above the city streets in lower Manhattan.

The Waiting Game
We have not yet received a return receipt for the letter of NC we sent to J; and we think it likely that he has decided not to sign for it and will let the notice expire, so that the mail gets sent back to us. Today, I went to the police department and picked up a copy of the police report that was filed this past Sunday when he showed up at our house and refused to leave. In the notes of that report, the officer wrote, "[J] warned off the property. He left without any issues. EX-STEPFATHER." The most important aspect of that short note, for us, was the fact that he was warned off of our property. I think it unlikely he will return to harass us, unless something more serious happens to NSIL, in which case he may come back with a vengeance. Again, I have copies of the report and if he ever did show up again, I would not hesitate, not even long enough to ask him to leave, to call the police again. He has been warned.
We have no indication yet if NSIL has received DH's letter. This morning around 10:00 AM he did get a voice mail on his work phone, but there was no number listed and the person waited two-three seconds and hung up. In the background, we could hear what was the voice of an individual with an Indian accent, but we couldn't make out what he was saying. Stereotypes aside, DH and I were trying to figure out if it might have been a doctor at some clinic where NSIL could be staying. She has been silent on Twitter and it's impossible to tell where she is right now, so for now it's still a waiting game. DH said he was hoping the hang-up message was from his sister, and he didn't want that hope to get in the way of his clear-thinking concerning future contact from his FOO.
We're doing all right, Dear Friends. Just waiting.

If NSIL is in a treatment facility, I doubt she will have phone privileges this early.ReplyDelete
I HATE waiting for the other shoe to drop! Five people who are close to me have concluded, for various reasons, that my "anonymous student" is the NGC, who ordered ME to have no contact with him as I was the cause of his (alcoholic) seizures. Since I am now totally ignoring the comments they are escalating. So, just like you and DH, I'm waiting for the next move in the never ending drama that Ns can't seem to live without.Replies
The waiting thing sucks. It feels like everything is on-edge. We're guessing she's in a treatment facility, thus the lack of access to the internet/outside world. I also told DH that the hang-up could have been as simple as a wrong-number and that NSIL may not have even gotten DH's letters yet (if she gets them at all).Delete
I recently read a comment of yours somewhere about your anon student being your NGC and that one really floored me, but it also makes perfect sense. "Too perfect." It seems likely and I'd venture a guess that things are going to blow up on your end soon. Hang on to your hat, Mulderfan! S'gonna be a shit storm.
Writing style, vocabulary, and escalating sarcasm all fit...even the timing, which would be when his wife is at work. Adding a tracker later today, then I'll know for sure.Delete
You're right Jonsi-girl, a shit storm is coming regardless of who it is, besides after all these months my narcs must be ready to blow. In his last comment "anon" used my maiden name and the NGC's full name. He is threatening to track down both the NGC and my NPs in order to expose me. He says, I can stop that if I post a comment asking (begging?) him not to get in touch with my NFOO.
Needless to say, I will not respond and, oh golly, my blog I might upset folks! They might even stop speaking to me...oh, wait...
If they want to sue me, they'll have to admit they're the shitheads I'm writing about.
Should be interesting.
Do you suppose they bribed SIL into a treatment facility by promising she could go on vacation afterwards?Delete
Jonsi - you, Mulderfan, Vanci - even Jessie and some others - all the narcs are on some circuitry that is waking them and stirring them up!ReplyDelete
At this rate I'm thinking my dad is going to zombie-fy himself and crawl from the grave. Stand by for the apocolypse.
Everyone stay safe. It's probably the looming holidays making them all crazy(er).Replies
That's what I was thinking, Gladys! It seems like everyone is being attacked right now. It's gotta be the holidays. Narcs are on the prowl.Delete

If he does crawl towards you from the grave, you can blast him with the bazooka of your withering disapproval, which is far more valid than his; i.e., his doesn't have any validity. --quartzDelete

How we build humanitarian leaders
Leadership for Humanitarians build humanitarian leaders at three levels and in two ways:
We help humanitarian organizations develop leaders at 3 different levels of the organization – Lead myself, Lead my team and Lead the organization. And at every level we focus on two essential areas – Character – my ability for personal and interpersonal effectiveness, and Capabilities – my ability to achieve sustainable results. For more information, please download our Competency Guide.
Differentiators of our world-class content
- Focusing sustainable solutions by changing habits and behavior
- Designed to be highly applicable
- Built around universal principles applicable in all cultures
- Inside-out development
- Ease of customization (to field and HQ staff, UN agencies and NGOs, sectors and operations)
The learning methodology of the programmes focuses on developing the right character and mindset and introduces participants for potential personal behavioral changes as a significant component in improving leadership skills. This is based on the well-established thesis that true leadership grows from the inside-out, and that sustainable long term behavioral change is best achieved through enabling paradigm shifts/new mindsets. These new mindsets then have to be supported by both new skill sets and new tool sets.
To support you in developing these new skill/tool sets, we use a wide range of media, plenty of hands-on exercises and facilitated knowledge sharing among participants. Where appropriate, we don't shy away from introducing public or private sector elements to encourage participants to explore other ways of solving challenges.
Real world learning for real world situations
Humanitarians work in real-world situations that are complex and often chaotic. To solve complex leadership issues in the humanitarian sector we use a systemic and principle-centered approach. We don't pretend that there is a right recipe that works in every situation. Too many outside – often dynamic – factors can impact the situation. However, the principles underlying our approach to leadership can work in all circumstances – they just have to be applied differently. Our approach has been tried and tested in every single region on the planet and in every culture. This range of content has now been successfully adapted for the challenging world of the relief and development sector.
Our training builds all learning on top of a limited number of intuitive models. This enables participants from the beginning to comprehend the overall concepts and assists them in remembering and integrating as all new learning is related back to the overall model.

Teacher / Therapeutic, Gentle Hatha
Isabel began her yoga practice in 2006 in India. She was overwhelmed with a new purpose when she chanted her first OM with an Indian Guru who didn't even speak any English. She knew that something really important was happening in her life. From then on she began practicing yoga every day and was totally absorbed by it, passionately wanting to know more and to progress. Hence 3 years later she completed her first Teacher Training in Hatha Yoga in India and her second Teacher Training in the Dynamic Yoga Method with Godfri Devereux. With two certifications under her belt she began teaching in the Yoga Shala in Malaga, Spain. Isabel has been a student of Iyengar yoga since 2011 and has traveled many times to India to learn with Usha Devi and Swati and Rajeev Chanchani. Her commitment to Yoga is really strong as it has brought a lot of wellbeing into her life. Yoga has taught her to listen to her body, to respect it and it has also given her the blessing to transmit her experience to others. In her classes she focuses on a deep listening to sensations, alignment and breathing. She is also certified as an Ayurvedic Massage Therapist.

Show from the Week of 1/28/2006
Satoshi Tomiie
Satoshi's music career began at an early age when his parents encouraged him to study the piano. He trained for an admirable ten years, developing a distinct passion for Jazz. Soon after the sound of Hip Hop provoked him to not only form his own band but also to start his foray into DJ'ing and production. Then came house as Satoshi became fascinated by the early Chicago mix-tapes he was hearing.
A Japanese cosmetic company asked Satoshi to produce a track for their forthcoming promo parties where the legendary DJ Frankie Knuckles was performing. Knuckles saw the potential in Satoshi's music and asked if he was interested in collaborating. The final result of their partnership was "Tears", a defining moment in vocal house and a song now commonly regarded as an all time classic. Satoshi soon took the leap and moved to New York. Since his seminal hit "Tears" with Knuckles back in 1989, he has gone on to become a major part of the acclaimed Def Mix crew. Tomiie has remixed and worked with the likes of Photek, Kosheen, Simply Red, David Bowie, U2, Mariah Carey, and Misia (Japan's #1 R&B artist), just to name a few.
In 2000 Satoshi wrote and produced his debut album for Sony entitled "Full Lick" featuring performances by Kelli Ali, former front woman for the Sneaker Pimps, Diane Charlemagne, Robert Owens and others. The album has been met with critical acclaim by his fans and the press with each single enjoying top ten dance chart success. "Up in Flames", garnered a number one dance hit in the UK and included mixes from John Digweed. In the US, "Up in Flames" and "Darkness" established Satoshi's presence in the alternative music scene as well as the dance music scene. The Global Underground compilation mixed by John Digweed also featured "Love in Traffic" the most recognizable single from "Full Lick" in addition to three other "Satoshi" productions/ remixes.
In 2001, Satoshi Tomiie launched his own label "SAW.RECORDINGS". The word SAW comes from "SAW is one of the names of the sound wave (Sine, Square, Triangle and so on). These are used by various kinds of electronic music producers regardless of the style; most of them use and tweak these waveforms to compose music. Regardless of the style, SAW.RECORDINGS would like to introduce quality music to the music scene. We also would like to be a tool for DJ's (as SAW)." states Tomiie.
It was Satoshi's desire to create a platform from which he would be able to showcase ideas and creativity that are more experimental. SAWŐs first single release "Paranoize" by Bipath caused major excitement from DJ's worldwide. Follow up singles, Madam "Penetration" and TomiieŐs own "Virus" gave SAW world recognition.
2002 has brought forth singles and EPŐs from the likes of Akadoma, Jerry Bonham and Tigerhook, with a debut production from the remix team Gabriel & Dresden entitled "Lament" at the end of the year TomiieŐs Saw label is forging ahead. 2003 brings Echomen "Perpetual" the first vocally driven record for the Label. Tomiie's ongoing philosophy to push the envelope and expose new talents has assisted in the launch of such new producer / dj"s as Trendroids and Lexicon Avenue. If SAW.RECORDINGS is an example of the direction that Satoshi is heading in, he is acknowledging the changes in the dance music scene, thus shifting what House music is. House music never stops evolving and expanding its borders and Satoshi Tomiie is in the forefront of this movement.
Satoshi is the first American based DJ to be asked to record a NuBreed album (#6) for International label Global Underground. Nubreed is known for only working with the leading cutting edge DJ's. With a world tour under way, Tomiie launched the North American leg with a Spundae party in San Francisco and continued traveling throughout the USA, Europe, of South America, Asia, and Australia. His Nubreed album is the fastest and highest selling Nubreed album to date.
Receiving the highest honor as a DJ, in December Satoshi Tomiie was voted by the public into the #30 spot of the WorldŐs Top 100 DJ List. Satoshi is also finding International recognition now as a Label owner besides his proven talents as a DJ, Producer / Artist and Musician. 2003 Satoshi has again launched his world tour on the west coast of the United States and will be touring well into the fall.
He released Satoshi Tomiie presents Ice entitled "Scandal in New York" and has just completed a DJ Mix compilation titled UNDULATION 1. A collaboration with Label Manager and DJ Hector Romero that is releasing with a tour in October.
Inbetween DJs are Paul Mcguinness/Paul Bugby/Dave Coates who where all born and brought up in Liverpool Merseyside area, Paul Mcguinness was once half of the outfit formerly known as 'Delayed Reactions' along side Dave Coates (the third Inbetween Dj) they decided on a change of name because of their ever changing style of dj set. Inbetween Dj's are mostly House based djs/producers who sometimes throw in anything from Tech House, Breaks, to elements of Progressive with a thick helping of Tribalism to crack open any dance floor but always keeping the underground aspect. Paul Mcguinness has been djing for the total sum of 10 years collectively (and is now the tender age of 30) and has a massive range of influences spreading from early Disco, Electro, Hip Hop, Funk, Rave and the love of his life the huge 'Acid House' movement of which you can hear in his choice of house cuts. Paul was heavily influenced by the sounds of 'Cream in Liverpool' back in 94 - 96 hearing such dj's as Andrew Weatherall, Carl Cox and Paul Bleasdale and lapping up the future in Dance Music played by the masters, and soon after that deciding that was his dream also to be behind a pair of turntables and soon after in a studio. Dave started djing out live in 98 along side Paul Mcguinness. They started out putting on some small nights in Chester and Liverpool like the early kingsized parties in the City Bar Chester and the Obscure Funk nights in melo melo. Like Paul mcguinness dave has a massive range of influences again ranging from Disco, Hip Hop and funk. Dave introduction to house came at a tender age of 10 when he started listening to early acid house tapes of his brother and his friends then throughout his teens dave was influenced by djs such as Andrew Weatherall , Sasha, Billy Nasty and Justin Robertson . Soon as dave started hearing these djs live in clubs like the hacienda, basics, and Cream he decided to get behind a pair of wheels of steel and like paul mcguinness soon after the studio. All three Inbetween DJs have djed all over the UK mixing up their jackin beats/funky rhythm's and are now being invited to play on an International scale in such places as Chicago, New York, Detroit and this year Ibiza all because of their funky UK/Us sounds that people just can't help but dance to. They have a radio show on 'Halton Fm' 'Disfunktional Dance Show' twice a year (only a 28 day license) this is a local station in the Uk which Paul Mcguinness, Paul Bugby and Dave Coates) do for free of charge as a gift back to their community and to also help up and coming djs/producers from the Uk get into the underground side of house music) this show is now 4 years strong having had such guest mixes from Layo & Bushwacka, DJ Sneak, Tom Stephan, Miles Holloway and Greg Vickers with a whole host to come in October. It was through presenting this show that got Paul Mcguinness/Dave Coates a one hour mix on Piccadilly Key 103 in Manchester Uk on the 'All Back To Our House Show' of which had such big name guests dj's as Erick Morillo, Sasha amongst others.. And regularly had a massive listening audience of around 50,000 people around the world. Also they have a regular slots on www.djsourceradio.co.uk (check the website for details) playing some house flavors and future productions to a world wide audience over the internet along with also having a regular slot on www.vivacity.cz Prague radio. Paul Bugby is a 23 year old dj/producer from Runcorn and has been making music for 12 years now and is a future star of studio/production with numerous different sound honors to his name this guy really knows his way round a studio and has now mastered the art of djing, and has also and has had his first tune released last year called 'Wake Up' (Dirty Blue Records UK) its tech house monster being played by such names as Pete Tong, Lottie,Yousef and Sander Kleinenberg all over the globe. So this guy really is making a name for himself as a producer definitely one to watch in 2005. Their ep Inbetween DJs - Animal Jazz Volume 1 (Wallshaker Records) written and produced by (Paul Bugby/Paul Mcguinness/Dave Coates) has created a real buzz amongst a whole host of big name dj/producers right across the globe including... Aaron Carl (Wallshaker Records Detroit), Dj Heather (Classic,20/20) John Larner (Nightshift Records, Gallery), DJ Alena (Igloo), Phil Weeks (Robsoul), Honey Dijon (Peaches), James Curd (Green keepers), Paul Woolford (20/20, Robsoul), Nic Fanciulli (Radio 1) and Jacob (Music for Freaks)...the ep is being heard at such clubs as Circus, Chibuku, Back to Basics, Stylus, The Bomb in the Uk to more U.S based club/bars like 'Cloud 9' and 'Dotbleep' in Chicago. Future events.. they have a tour of the U.S in the pipeline to promote the ep and gigs over in Prague(for vivacity.cz) as well as London, Leeds, Manchester so watch this space for more information real soon. Future Productions - Inbetween DJs - Animal Jazz Vol 1 is now released on Wall shaker Records (Detroit Aaron Carl's label) also there is a DJ Alena remix of 'Pass The Buzzard' (which has just bin licenced to Dj Dahota's (Chicago/Canada) new mix cd which is to be sold all over the Us/Uk along with some new Inbetween DJs tracks - 'Toastie Beats Vol 1' which is due to get a release on their own up and coming label 'Disco Revolt' due out in the fall of 2005. So the future looks bright for 'Inbetween DJs' so expect some crazy House cuts, from the scouse lads... and they say - "We just love our music and Djing, we try to do this without being arrogant or ignorant and we give respect to people who give respect to us... and don't claim to be any form of demi gods"

A report Tuesday in a New York newspaper indicates the New York Knicks are seriously considering extending an offer sheet to the Bulls` free-agent center, Jawann Oldham.
It is believed Knick coach Hubie Brown wants the 7-foot-1-inch Oldham as a defensive center on his second unit, a speedy, full-court pressing team that will feature No. 1 draft pick Kenny Walker, Gerald Wilkins, Chris McNealy and either 5-7 Bo Dukes or rookie Michael Jackson.

Are you a pushover? Do you have trouble saying 'no', or find it impossible to stand up for yourself and say how you feel? If you've answered yes to any of these, then you need to learn to be more assertive.
Being assertive is an expression of confidence, self-love and being true to yourself. It is not selfishness. Assertive people can still be compassionate, but they know their boundaries. For example, they will help out a friend in need, but if that friend is requesting something that puts them out, or makes them feel uncomfortable, assertive people know how to say 'no'.
In today's society, we are often scared to offend others and put their needs and wants before our own. However, our failure to be assertive allows others to constantly drain us. We begin to shrink in character as a consequence, often feeling resentful.
So how can you be more assertive? Here are my top tips.
Your tone and body language speak volumes
If you mean something then express it clearly without anger. Make eye contact, keep your voice firm and fair. Keep body language relaxed and neutral. Head up and back straight. Avoid crossing arms and fiddling. Assert what you want or don't want.
Practice saying 'no' without the life story
When you say 'no' you don't have to explain why. Your time is yours, and you owe nobody that. You can say ''not today thanks'', or "I'll give it a miss thanks''. These are all perfectly acceptable. Do not apologise!
Take the risk
Being Assertive involves a degree of risk-taking. It takes a big person to disagree with something or express an unpopular opinion. It may not make you popular but in the long run, will gain you respect for your honesty and openness. Stay true to yourself.
If you don't ask you don't get
It's ok to ask or suggest and troubleshoot. You may surprise yourself when asking. All they can say is 'yes', or 'no' so don't avoid to ask or negotiate.
Walk away
If certain people are not bending and insist on arguing, then there is no win. Know it's ok to agree to disagree and walk off. Nobody loses anything by doing this. Use humour if it's safe. It may calm the situation if it is getting out of hand.
Accept compliments and criticism without losing it
If people are putting you down, it's ok to defend yourself. As for compliments, I often see people throw them right back at the giver. 'This old thing?' or 'I don't look nice, I look horrible.' If someone compliments you, then please accept it graciously.
In the workplace, sell yourself
If you're in a job interview and they ask you why should they give you the job over someone else then showcase all the great things about you. It isn't easy to do but think about all your qualities. Make a list of your strengths and positively celebrate them.
Be a signpost
You can still be kind and helpful to people without having to step in and carry the load. Redirect people. Empower them to see their potential instead of relying and being dependant on you. If you are going to help, be clear about your boundaries. Don't feel guilty if you cannot help; we can't change the world single headedly.
Assertiveness mantra
What I allow is what will continue. When I say yes to others, I am saying no to myself. I no longer permit that.
No is a complete sentence. No need to explain. No need to apologise.

The launch of the 2018 Audi RS8 has been a very anticipated one, especially commended by all those Audi car enthusiasts out there. So far, no release date has been confirmed, but it is expected to hit the market sometime in late 2017 or early 2018.
What we do know is that this Audi will be one of the most expensive to date, even pricier than the R8 supercar. Estimated figures suggest that it could cost around the US$200,000. But the cost, as usual, is a matter that we address at the end of every entry.
What can we expect? The 2018 RS8 will be, of course, be a lavish and sophisticated sports car with great power. But many improvements will be needed to make this the best Audi yet. Many of the original RS features that we know and love already will be featured, such as the signature grille and original sporty bumper.
Let's get into the details.
Powerplant and Specs
There is little information about the possible engine size and power output but it is rumoured that it will be a 4-litre V8 powerplant, very similar to the one on in the RS7 model. This V8 is incredibly powerful, capable of producing up to 560 horsepower.
Nevertheless, the updated engine should be even more powerful with added torque. The all-wheel-drive system and 8-speed gearbox will also be new additions. A top speed of 174 mph is expected to be reached, as well the staggering ability to go from zero to 60 mph in under 3.8 seconds.
There is also speculation that there may be a massive W12 engine, similar to that on the Flying Spur, which is one of the best-selling Bentley models.
Exterior and Interior Looks
The exterior is forecasted to look very much like an amalgamation of the Prologue Concept and the RS7 current model. This means that a lot of elegant and luxury will be involved into the mix.
It will still feature its trademark bumper and grille but there will be added elements to make it angrier and more violent, including a new diffuser and exhaust outlet system. The roof will also appear more streamlined and we'll probably enjoy the addition of new alloy wheels and brake callipers in a vivid red finish.
The interior decoration and setup, as in true Audi style, will continue to have a luxurious and sporty feel. Aluminum trimming will be paired with black sporty leather seats covered in elegant Alcantara. They will also be detailed with a red stitched trim.
Horizontal lines should still be present as is seen in the RS7, which will make the interior appear bigger and wider. There will also be an updated dashboard and console. The RS8 badges are also sure to be emblazoned on headrests and car mats. The infotainment accessories will also most certainly be updated with the latest technology.
Audi RS8 – The Bottom Line
The 2018 Audi RS8 remains as a hidden gem that everyone is expecting already, widely based on the attractive and beastly RS7. The German carmaker achieved important hype without even investing on it.
The price tag is expected to go beyond the US$100,000-mark.

The Electoral College: Disrupted Democracy
Last week, Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th president of the United States. This label may be misleading, as it implies that these states are "united." Though the Electoral College may be fully committed to Trump, the popular vote went in favor of Clinton by nearly a million. This has resulted in numerous protests across the US in the successive weeks since the historic election.
The Electoral College was invented in 1787, during the same convention in which the Constitution was established. Delegates of the Constitutional Convention created the Electoral College in the wake of the Revolution, when there were fewenough people for it to work.
"Keeping a good portion of the original Constitution intact is an important thing… this is one of those elements," said social studies teacher Darren Bessett.
The Constitution is extremely important, and tearing it apart may not be the correct step forward. However, so much has changed in the last 300 years that it may be necessary to preserve what remains of the Constitution.
Another factor that contributed to the creation of the Electoral College was the fact that, as this had been one of the first experiment with democracy in world history, many of the prominent figures in government didn't completely trust the people's ability to choose a trustworthy individual for the office of president.
"It was originally created so that people that are not as intelligent don't go ahead and vote for somebody that [is not] the right candidate," said sophomore Nicholas Sims.
Today, this has become an out-of-date system. Though giving smaller states more of a voice was a great idea in the late 1700s, states today have failed to represent the people becauset their populations are so different. For example, each Wyomingite's vote counts for three Californians' votes. This is disproportional, not to mention just plain wrong.
The Electoral College has betrayed its purpose five times in US history, when the candidate who got fewer votes was elected president. We saw this last week when Donald Trump won the electoral college despite Hillary Clinton getting almost a million more votes.
"There have been several times when a candidate will receive the popular vote but did not actually earn the presidency. On a lot of common sense ideological grounds that's what many people will argue. Who ever's more popular should get the presidency," said Bessett.
"I think it's stupid," said junior Jesse Blank.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, democracy is a system that is "government by the people… rule of the majority." We see that the United States has fallen short of being a democracy by having a president elected without getting a majority of the people to vote for him.
However, many people like the Electoral College because it gets candidates to campaign in more states. This is founded on the idea that the Electoral College makes smaller states worth more. This supposedly forces candidates to campaign in all states, not just in the big ones.
This does not work, for the candidates this year only focused on swing states, with most of them being worth a lot of electors. This makes swing states more important than all of the other states because their near even political landscape forces candidates to swing it in their favor.
Another issue is that the amount that a certain candidate leads by in a state means nothing. This year in California, 65% of the people voted for Clinton, but the only thing that matters is if you get a majority, or 51%. This almost makes the other 14% of Californian voters, not to mention the 35% who voted for Trump, practically worth nothing in the election. This is not right.
The only apparent advantage of the electoral vote that is used against the popular vote is that, according to sophomore Will Waldrip, "It helps the Republican win."
On the other hand, the popular vote is an alternative to the Electoral College. This makes people vote for the presidential candidate of their choice directly, rather than through electors. This creates an even and just platform for all to vote from, no matter what state you are from.
So here is the choice, America: either you can have a system that disenfranchises voters by placing a higher value to people's votes if they live in swing states, or we can have a system where everyone gets to vote directly for president, therein securing the American value that states that each person, no matter who they are, gets the same amount of votes; one.

Both New York State and the federal government impose an estate tax on the value of an individual's estate upon death. The federal estate tax exemption amount of $5,000,000 was made permanent in 2013 and is subject to annual adjustments for inflation. Currently, the federal estate tax exemption amount is $5,450,000 (2016). In addition, the law allows a surviving spouse to use any unused estate tax exemption amount of a predeceased spouse.
The New York State estate tax exemption amount is currently $4,187,500 (as of April 1, 2016). This amount is scheduled to increase until 2019, at which point the state estate tax exemption will mirror the federal exemption, with cost of living adjustments, as follows:
Individuals dying on or after: Tax exemption:
April 1, 2016 & before April 1, 2017 $4,187,500
April 1, 2017 & before January 1, 2019 $5,250,000
January 1, 2019 & thereafter Will match the current federal exemption
The rate at which estates are taxed in New York is much lower than the federal rate of 40%. The state tax rates start at 5% and go up to 16%. One thing to note, however, is the New York State estate tax "cliff." Once the taxable estate exceeds the exemption amount by 5%, the entire estate becomes taxable, not just the amount over the current exemption amount.
The value of your estate for estate tax purposes includes everything that you own or hold in your name, whether individually or jointly with someone else, as well as everything over which you have control. This includes jointly held assets, life insurance proceeds (including group life insurance you receive through your union or employer), retirement accounts and assets in certain types of trusts that you created or that were created for your benefit. Your estate will receive certain deductions, such as expenses incurred while administering your estate, debts paid after you pass away (including funeral expenses), assets that are left outright to your spouse (so long as your spouse is a United States citizen), and any assets left to a qualified charity.
Gift Taxes
In addition to an estate tax, the federal government imposes a gift tax on gifts made by an individual during their lifetime. The gift tax is imposed on the person giving the gift, not the person receiving the gift. The estate tax exemption amount is also the lifetime gift tax exemption amount. This means that your estate tax exemption amount will be reduced by the total amount of gifts you made during your lifetime.
Each year, you can make gifts to anyone you want, up to a certain amount per person, exempt from any gift tax. This amount is referred to as the annual gift tax exclusion. Lifetime gifts can help reduce your taxable estate. Presently, a person may gift $14,000 per year ($28,000 for a married couple) to anyone without incurring federal or New York gift tax and without reducing the amount you can pass to your heirs at death.
There are many tools at your disposal to help reduce or avoid estate taxes, but proper planning is essential to ensure your objectives are realized.

Well, this is fairly transparent
Dateline, Maryland (or whatever the cliche is):
Maryland Democrats concerned about the political fallout from last week's court ruling on same-sex marriage are considering a plan to block any final court ruling from taking effect until after the November elections.
The proposal would be offered in legislation by Del. Luiz R.S. Simmons (D-Montgomery) that would freeze any decision from the state's highest court until the General Assembly has time to evaluate it.
"What we're trying to do is see if we can craft a bill allowing the legislature to seek an injunction, at least until 2007, when we'll have the opportunity to consider a constitutional amendment" banning same-sex marriage, Simmons said.
Democrats, playing only one move ahead, destined for check and mate. Checkers could not be reached for comment. Thanks for including the truth in there, WaPo.
Oh, and thanks Powerline for the push in the right direction.

The Ride takes viewers on a personal and intense ride through the underbelly of the criminal injustice system, seen through the eyes of SF Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who is one of the nation's few elected public defenders. Adachi represents a young African-American man who is charged with assaulting police officers after being falsely accused of a crime in a case with racial overtones. In this era of mass incarceration and police shootings of young African American men, the film grapples with the issues of racism, implicit bias and authority. What is not revealed in the film is that the accused is part of an 'invisible minority', that is often overlooked even in very diverse communities like the Bay Area.
