I've been pondering the relationship between a coach, a mentor, and a friend. All three roles overlap in three intertwined circles (Venn diagram), but I'm not sure how.What I'm wondering is the defining characteristics of each role that distinguish it from the others. Is one a subset of the other? Can one be all three? One but not another? It's easy for me to see things that a coach, mentor, or friend could all do. But what about items that a coach would do that a mentor would not? Is one of the roles predicated on subject-matter expertise? Which one?
I suspect that all of us can come up with examples of relationships that we have had with others where one or more of these roles came into play, and also that a given relationship may focus on different roles over time.
There is also the issue of reciprocity. For example, one party may see mentorship, where the other sees friendship. Again, these are not mutually exclusive.I am interested in your thoughts on the relationships between these roles, as well as any reference sources you might draw upon for how you see these roles.
A diagram of some relationships between these roles can be found here:

There may be a thread about this already, but I didn't see one. Has anyone tried to open a Metart gallery only to have it partially load? I just tried looking at several different pages, but only a portion of the thumbnails are loading and many of the pics won't load. I really just want to see if this is a problem with the website or my computer. Here are a couple pages I'm having problems with:
?pa=417753 (first pic)
?pa=417753 (the whole damn page)
Those pages load fine for me. How long have you noticed this problem with Metart? Also, do you have another device or browser you can use as a way to troubleshoot?
I think it may be my internet connection. Soon after posting that, the galleries started working fine, but now they're back to not opening, but it's different pictures that won't open now. I guess I'll just use a different connection to view them.
They open fine here too. Remember tgp's (thumbnail gallery posts) are usually not hosted on the site's own server, so are subject to the affiliates server, not met. And those servers can be kinda patchy.

We've introduced the game of Basketball to you, since it is one of Remmi's favorite sports to play, and one of the prominent sports in her family. This week, we're picking Sous Chef, Dasher's favorite sport: Volleyball!
All you need to play Volleyball is a net, a Volleyball ball, and at least 6 players (3 on each side). So, grab a few friends and play this fun and entertaining game on concrete, or on the beach!
First, one side will serve the ball and the other side will try to volley it back to them. However, you are only allowed to get three hits per side, and an individual cannot hit/touch the ball twice in a row. If your team can get it over to the opposite side, the opposing team will try to do the exact same thing by trying to hit the ball back over to your team's side. This keeps going until one side drops/ fails to hit the ball, or it goes out of bounds. Whichever side does this looses the ball/ point.
If the side that served the ball manages to get a point, it is still their serve until they lose the ball.
If they lose the ball, the other team will rotate and the person in the right back position will serve. This will keep repeating itself until one team gets to 21 points. However, the rule is, you must win by being ahead two points. Therefore, if you manage to score up to 21 points, your team is still not in the lead until your team scores 23 points, thus leading by 2 points (If the opposing team has the score of 21 as well).
In Volleyball, there are several techniques that must be learned before playing: bumping (passing), setting (an underhand serve or an overhand serve), hitting, and spiking, to name a few. Learn these, grab your friends and have a great time playing outdoors, either in the sand or not!

Yet somehow in the future. Wait, no, this isn't star wars!
Some time ago I used to have a blog called Double X Geeks on Today.com. I had great fun with them, but had to part ways when I started selling my chainmaille. They have a rule against advertising your own stuff there, and it put a crunch on what I could post.
I recently went through all my old posts looking for a particular picture (which I apparently never posted), but doing so got me thinking. I have find a lot of nifty stuff on the net that I'd like to share with people, but haven't because I didn't want to do a second blog. So, instead I've been ignoring this one. *That* makes a whole lot of sense doesn't it?
So, I've decided to start actually blogging again. There will still be much chainmaille to be found here, and information on my new products. There will also be posts about being a geek in the real world! I tend to focus on products I find that I want to share, but also share helpful hints, recipes, and funny pictures. I'll be attempting a 3/week schedule and see how that goes.
Look for some design changes in the coming weeks as well! I will be unfocusing the background and such a bit and adding more information. I'm not exactly sure how best to do this, but we will see! Suggestion welcome!

The Science of Walking Comfort
1300 788 119
Your cart is empty
Foot pain is not only limited to grown-ups. Often, healthy and active children will complain of pain in one or both heels shortly after running, engaging in sports or even walking. The pain is centered at the back of, or under the heel. The cause of heel pain in children is usually a condition called calcaneal apophysitis, normally reported by 8 to 14 year olds.
Heel pain is very common in children because of the very nature of their growing feet and legs. In children, the heel bone (the calcaneus) is not fully developed until the age of 14 or older. Until then, new bone is forming at the growth plate of the foot (the apophysis, located at the back of the heel), an area which is softer than others due to its role in accommodating the growth.
Repetitive stress on the growth plate due to walking, running and sports causes inflammation in the heel area. Because the heel's growth plate is sensitive, repeated running and pounding on hard surfaces can result in pediatric heel pain. Children and adolescents involved in football, soccer, running or basketball are especially vulnerable.
Over-pronation (fallen arches and rolling inwards of the feet) will increase the stress on the growth plate and is therefore a significant cause and a major contributing factor to heel pain in children.
Depending on the diagnosis and the severity of the pain, there a number of treatment options available:
1. Rest, reduce activity: your child should reduce or stop any activity that causes pain, such as sports and running. This can be a difficult option, as children are normally quite willful in pursuit of their favorite pastimes.
2. Over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (found in Nurofen), to help reduce pain and inflammation
3. Make certain your child does stretching exercises before play. This will often help reduce the stress on the fascia and relieve heel pain in your child.
4. Orthotic insoles. Footlogics Kids orthotics made for children will help support the foot properly, and help prevent over-pronation or improper gait by supporting your child's foot into a proper biomechanical position.
Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist, should your child's heel and foot pain persist.

By: Loren Coleman(Author)
288 pages, illustrations
In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery – could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins!
From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.

Students are assessed for their Leaving Certificate under four headings:
• Key Assignments
• 90% attendance with satisfactory completion of module work
• Completion of seven tasks
• Final Examination in six core subjects
If a student wishes to continue to third level education in the Republic of Ireland, she MUST complete a Post Leaving Certificate course (P.L.C.) before she can enter
Institutes of Technology or Universities.
There is a large number of courses available in both the Republic of Ireland and
Northern Ireland for students who have successfully completed the LCA Programme.

The distinction between a fine arts degree, or a Bachelor of Fine Arts, and an art degree, or a Bachelor of Arts or Sciences in art, can be confusing. The difference lies in the degree programs' emphases: The B.F.A. is a professional degree that trains students in a particular art form, whereas the B.A. or B.S. in art is a liberal education degree.
Fine Arts Degrees
The National Association of Schools of Art and Design accredits and sets forth standards for Bachelor of Fine Arts programs in the U.S. According to NASAD, to earn a B.F.A., students work toward expertise in one or more artistic media, such woodworking, digital media, fashion design, photography, theater, animation and ceramics. Their studio training begins freshman year and progresses in difficulty and intensity throughout the program. Regardless of their specialty, successful students in B.F.A. programs must demonstrate technical competence in their field and familiarity with its history and theory. Fine arts degrees also involve studio exhibitions and a faculty evaluation of the student's portfolio.
Careers With a Fine Arts Degree
Many graduates from B.F.A. programs pursue careers as fine artists, either working independently and selling their products through studios, galleries, stores or websites or working for design companies, advertising agencies or publishers. Other employment areas include multimedia art, acting, writing, teaching or directing, depending on the student's area of expertise. Some students also go on to graduate study in their area of expertise, pursuing a Master of Fine Arts or Master of Visual Arts degree.
Art Degrees
According to NASAD, a Bachelor of Arts in art or a Bachelor of Science in art is a liberal arts degree that grants students breadth of knowledge in the arts and humanities, social sciences and physical and natural sciences. For this degree, students take courses in fine art and design, but they do not specialize in a specific area of studio art, instead familiarizing themselves with a variety of traditional and digital media. General education requirements compose about 55 to 70 percent of the degree program, with the rest of coursework focusing on art and design and art history.
Careers With an Art Degree
Because a bachelor's degree in art is a generalist degree, it prepares students for a wide range of careers. A 2013 Hart Research Associates report concluded that critical thinking ability, clear communication skills and aptitude for problem-solving are primary indicators for success on the job market, and an arts degree stresses all three of these. Potential career paths include market research, consulting, conservation and curation, social work and teaching. Further employment opportunities arise for students who pursue a specialization at the graduate level.

1) World-Class Performers! – 50 artists from 19 different countries with top level acrobatic and performance skills. Varekai pays tribute to the ancient and rare circus tradition of Icarian games and Georgian dance, along with Russian swings, aerial straps & hoops, handbalancing on canes, dancing on crutches, and Cirque's famous clowns!
2) Varekai pays tribute to the nomadic soul, to the spirit and art of the circus tradition, and to those who quest with infinite passion. Varekai fuses drama and acrobatics in stunning displays of skill and power set against innovative music and otherworldly sets, interwoven with vivid choreography that speaks to all in the universal language of movement.
3) Varekai's spectacular costumes! There are over 600 costumes, shoes, wigs, hats and accessories, all custom-made at Cirque's costume workshop in Montreal.
5) Technical & logistical wonders!….Cirque is known for their cutting-edge visuals, special effects, spectacular scenery and intricate set design. There are over 300 trees (in the Varekai forest), a stage designed with five traps, two turntables, an elevating platform; and a catwalk used by artists to travel over the stage from one end to the other.

Camelina Plants Could Prove Profitable
Adapted from the Erie Times News - June 9, 2008
Mark Troyer thinks his 10-acre patch of camelina looks like a bunch of weeds. But he and some other local farmers are hoping that looks are deceiving and that camelina makes good on its promise as the next big thing for the biofuel industry. The plant, which grows up to 3 feet tall, produces greenish-yellow flowers and a small seedpod. More important, when those seeds are crushed, they yield about 40 percent oil, twice as much as soybeans. Better yet, it's a crop with a guaranteed buyer.
Joel Hunter, an agronomist with Crawford County Cooperative Extension, said he was approached more than a year ago by officials from Lake Erie Biofuels, which has promised to buy all the camelina that local farmers can grow. The company, which is currently using canola and soybean oil as well as waste grease, confirmed that it's prepared to buy the camelina oil. No price has been set yet, however. Mike Noble, operations manager at Lake Erie Biofuels, said he's pleased by the interest shown by local farmers, some of whom had to be turned away from the popular pilot program. About a dozen area farmers, organized and encouraged by Crawford County Cooperative Extension, have already placed their wagers. Together, they've planted about 300 acres of camelina in Erie, Crawford and Mercer counties.
Hunter doesn't see the search for alternative fuels as something that should wait. That's why the Extension Service bought 1,000 pounds of camelina seed for farmers to grow and promoted the idea with local farmers through a series of winter meetings. Troyer, president of Troyer Farms in Waterford, isn't ready to get out of the potato business, but he has planted 10 acres of camelina.
"We are in the farming business, and I believe we need to maximize our income off each acre," he said. "A lot of times, that includes looking at alternatives. What worked 20 years ago might not work in 2010." Like soybeans, corn and other crops now being used to produce fuel, camelina has more than one use. That could ultimately push camelina prices out of reach for biofuel producers. For now, local farmers are getting their feet wet.

Nothing wrong with the MPAAThere is a lot of buzz from critics about the level of brutality portrayed in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning."
Some critics are saying that the violence is too over the top and leaves nothing to the imagination. Others are saying that the MPAA needs to get its act together when it comes to rating violence.
I don't understand what all the fuss is about.
The MPAA doesn't need to make ratings stricter simply on account of brutality. There is a long history of brutal film violence, and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" looks fairly benign compared to some other mainstream movies that have been released in recent years.
Not all of these blood-drenched movies are just horror movies, either.
Mr. Disgusting, a critic from the horror movie website, bloody-disgusting.com, wondered about the sanity of the MPAA because of what he determined to be a lenient rating.
"Every scene appears to be shown in its entirety, which only makes me wonder what the hell is going on at the MPAA?" Mr. Disgusting wrote. "'Team America' has an urination scene and gets an NC-17, a guy gets his face peeled off in TCMTB and it gets an 'R' [sic]? I'll never quite get it."
This is an awfully gruesome scene to endure, but to go so far as to suggest that the MPAA needs to start giving movies that show this kind of violence stricter ratings is unnecessary.
If the MPAA started giving horror movies with an analogous level of violence an NC-17 rating, people like Mr. Disgusting would probably be out of a job.
As to why Mr. Disgusting was so appalled by "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," I can't figure out. Is it gory? Sure, but it's not gory enough to require the MPAA's most restrictive rating.
Yes, one character does get his face peeled off in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning," but it's implied violence. The audience sees very little before the camera cuts away.
The MPAA understands the distinction between what the audience is shown and what the audience is led to believe through editing. The distinction, then, is between implied violence and actual violence. And there's a huge difference.
Implied violence is not shown explicitly. It's used to heighten suspense because it focuses on an act for a very little amount of time. It titillates, but it doesn't show every detail of a violent act.
Actual violence is the stuff that is actually projected onto the screen. The MPAA has certainly lowered its standards for the amount of actual violence that can be seen in a movie before it gets slapped with an NC-17.
How else would audiences of 17 or younger be allowed to see such a blatantly graphic scene like Steven Spielberg's famous D-Day sequence in "Saving Private Ryan?"
This is a sequence that shows the violent deaths of what seems like hundreds of actors, and it takes no prisoners. The realistic violence in this sequence is much more disturbing than a face getting peeled off. Yet, this movie got an R rating as well.
If "Saving Private Ryan" gets an R rating, then there's no reason why "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" should get an NC-17.
This is not to mention that a whole slew of horror movies that are much more violent have been released in the last couple of years that the MPAA hasn't found necessary to give NC-17 ratings to.
George A. Romero's zombie movie from last year, "Land of the Dead," is so violent that Romero himself actually admitted that the MPAA was lenient with its R rating for the film. There's a lot more actual violence in "Land of the Dead" than there is in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning."
It would have been silly, however, if "Land of the Dead" received an NC-17.
The same can be said about "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning." It would have been an exercise in excess if the MPAA finally decided to bring the hammer down on a film that shows much less actual violence than a multitude of movies made in the past decade.
Mr. Disgusting isn't acknowledging the sensibilities of audiences. Surely there will be a number of people that go to see "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" that will be shocked by its depictions of violence.
Those people are likely a minority. The crowd at the theater I saw it in erupted in cheers when anything violent happened.
There's very little in terms of violence that filmmakers can show audiences that they haven't seen before. The MPAA probably realizes this. Likewise, they realize the futility in giving just another Halloween horror movie its most restrictive rating.

The vada pav was born in the 1960s in the textile mill areas of Mumbai. It is a quick grab and bite snack, easy on the pocket, fulfilling on the stomach. Vada Pavs are sold in the millions every day. During recession times, we used to joke that if we ever become jobless, we will start our own vada pav stall.
But someone, really followed it. A few years ago, a Vada pav shop opened in my neighborhood. It is no roadside eatery. It is a proper shop which sold only vada pavs. It is managed by a homely middle aged lady and two middle aged men. One is the husband and the other is a relative. My inquisitive friend informed me that the husband lost his job due to his factory shutting down and so they have started this shop. The shop owners would come in the mornings and evenings and sell vada pavs. Over the years, they have made up their own brand due to the distinct taste of their vadas, chutneys and softer pav. The taste is the only identifier. There is no fancy packaging, tissues and all that snazz. Just unadulterated vada pav packed in newspaper or a paper plate or sometimes hand. Hygiene is high priority. We have to queue up outside the shop to get our share of vada pavs. The queues are long and monsoon queues are longer, but we do not want to miss out on our favorite local vada pav. They further expanded the menu to include samosas and bhajjis, too. Everything is managed by these three people.
They are just one of the few nameless souls who add flavor to my small locality. Wouldn't it be fun to discover such quaint places which only cater a niche food?
I can think of the ice cream shop at Churchgate at Wankhede stadium who serve handmade ice-cream sandwiched between two wafers. The place is packed (maybe they should do the queue thing) with families waiting for their orders. They insist they have no branches. They use only natural ingredients and the ice-cream is out of the world. Try it out. Any more can you think of.
I can now look them up on the Nouns App available on Google Playstore. It is an app for foodies, by foodies where people share their food experiences. Spread the word of your favorite food eateries and find new ones through the app.

Are you ready to invest in your quality of life and oral health with dental implants? That is great! Now that you have made the decision, you are probably asking, "where is a dentist near me for the implant restoration process?" That is an excellent question because you do not want just anyone to place your crowns. To ensure you receive the results you want, there is a certain art that must go into the process to promote a realistic appearance while ensuring their long-term success. When it comes to completing your smile, you want Dr. Hodges to perform this phase of the treatment to get the results you deserve.
Why Do I Need a Restoration Dentist?
Your dental implant procedure contains various phases to replace the root and crown of the missing tooth. After your initial consultation, a customized treatment plan is created to restore your smile. An oral surgeon will strategically place the implant post into the jawbone to serve as the tooth root. This also allows it to last for a lifetime while anchoring the dental crown in place.
After the implant post is placed, your jawbone will fuse to it. This can take several weeks. Once adequate healing has occurred, you will have the abutment placed. This is a connector piece between the implant post and the crown. It will take a couple of weeks for your gum tissue to heal to begin the final phase of the treatment.
To complete your smile, a custom-made restoration is attached to the abutment. To ensure you receive high-quality results, you need a qualified dentist. Dr. Hodges is the restoration dentist in Pensacola for you. He is a highly qualified dentist who pays attention to details. He is an expert in his craft when placing dental crowns.
Why Should I Choose Dr. Hodges?
Placing dental implants requires the skills and qualifications of an implant dentist, which is why Dr. Hodges leaves that to the experts. However, when it comes to placing the restorations, you also need a qualified professional to handle that phase of the treatment. Dr. Hodges is that expert.
Dr. Hodges holds vast training and experience in restoration dentistry while embracing the latest technological advancements. When you are ready for this phase, he uses his expertise in the area and the best technology to create a dental crown that meets your exact specifications.
He will make it match the color of your remaining natural teeth to ensure it blends in seamlessly with your smile. It will meet the exact size and shape you need to look flawless while enhancing its function. By using the best materials, you can rest assured that it will be of the highest quality to be strong and durable to last for several years.
How Can I Get a High-Quality Restoration?
If you are ready to complete your smile with dental implants, it is time to contact Dr. Benjamin J. Hodges to schedule your consultation. He provides the state-of-the-art care you need for a flawless smile.

On Saturday, a mass of Boiseans, maybe 20,000 or so, marched in the streets of downtown Boise to demonstrate their peak priority – celebrating the Boise State University football team. (The Idaho Statesman says "We've got video of all the excitement.") A few hours earlier, there was another march, attracting about 500 people, organized by Right to Life of Idaho.
It got little attention. But it generated a ferocious negative review, and not from the left, either: This comes from Dennis Mansfield, whose anti-abortion record in Idaho is quite clear. His post on the rally is a must-read on current Idaho politics.Share on Facebook

I've got to say I'm more than a bit pleased with the polka dot leather bag and matching pouch I made last week. It's going to make a nice gift for someone special – but first I thought I'd share my process, including a pattern with step by step instructions.
I haven't sewn anything for a while. My vintage Bernina has been stowed away in her case for waaay too long. So it was great to get her back out on the table, rattling away like a happy maraca.
It's probably about time to put her in for proper shop repair job. I've managed to jam the hand wheel release – so when I wind up a bobbin the whole machine sews along. But in the mean time she does the job.
Reclaimed leather is a beautiful thing
Sometimes gifts just drop in your lap. When a friend says they have some leather off cuts from a couch they had repaired. Quality leather, still in the shape of an arm chair, sitting around, waiting to be shaped – you don't turn that down.
Ahhh, the potential of a freshly unpicked slab of leather!
I knew I wanted to sew something with a cotton contrast. Maybe with some cotton I've had printed recently.
Collecting ideas and inspiration
So I started doing some research online, looking for some simple ideas for a satchel or a tote.
I pinned some patterns and shapes I liked on Pinterest, you can follow my board below for some of your own inspiration.
Totes are simple and still look really good. Just fold a long piece of leather, sew some corners and handles and tada! You have a tote for all seasons. You don't even have to hem the edges of the leather.
Satchels are more complicated, with pockets and buckles and what not.
As I'm not hugely skilled at sewing leather, and I wasn't even sure at this point that my Bernina could handle this sort of material, (I didn't want to stuff too many layers into my machine and cause a jam) I decided to make a tote style handbag.
Start with some tests.
I started sewing some test, adjusting stitch length and tension. Luckily my machine could handle 4 pieces of leather, so I knew I could make the box style corners to give the base some shape.
I also found out that pinning wasn't an option so the leather slipping could make it tricky. The other important thing is that when you've sewn leather once and the surface is punctured, unpicking leaves nasty holes. So it's important to get it right first time.
A simple tote style handbag with contrast lining and trim.
Rather than use my printed fabric for the prototype I hunted around in my ever growing bags of offcuts and found a swaddle of polka dot cotton left over from another project, polka dots and soft brown leather – the perfect combination.
I didn't really plan to make the polka dot cuff part at all. It just sort of evolved. But I'm kind of into it.
Here is a step by step guide to making your own polka dot & leather handbag:
You can also download the PDF pattern to save for future reference.
Feel free to pin or share the pattern. And let me know what improvements you'd make. I've not made many patterns before so I may have confused some of the terminology. I'm sure there are better ways to describe the process but these were the first descriptions that came to mind.
It is very small – probably suitable for a child. You can always scale up the dimensions to make an adult sized bag. In fact that's what I might just do next weekend.
The finished product.
If you followed the instructions – and if I have been successful in describing them correctly – you should have something that looks like a cute little tote/handbag. It is very little- it might not look it in the pictures bit it's probably too little for a full grown adult person.
I made the little pouch using the same box corner process as before. Make 2 of the same sized pieces out of leather and cotton. The cotton has to be 1cm longer so you have room to turn back the raw edge.
You can still see the staple marks from it's previous couch covering life.
Let me know what to you think! I'm sure this won't be my last pattern, I'm starting to get the hang of it I think.

Colin Graham, the former Director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, knew Macdonald. In a 1978 interview with Joyce Zemans, curator of Macdonald's 1981 retrospective exhibition, Graham described Macdonald's process during those years. "He and Barbara would sit in the kitchen at night and Barbara would turn on the radio and Jock would just start fooling around with watercolours. Things would come out in the process. I gathered it was helped by Barbara who kept his conscious mind on what he was doing so that the automatic process was really working and he would keep talking to Barbara and still dream. This is one of the things that impressed me very much."

'There are four market disruptions in play in the DC infrastructure market,' said Joe Skorupa, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. 'Elements of them are already in play, and will become visible no later than early 2016; however, radical action by just one significant player could accelerate the market disruption of any of the factors.'
Although, on the surface, the DC market is poised for growth, existing assumptions regarding the ongoing growth of the DC market are unlikely to be realised. They rely heavily on the current base of traditional enterprise IT end users, and a vendor community that is more likely to support the status quo, rather than introduce risk and break the enterprise IT mould.
'Underneath this calm surface, increasing market pressures are driving a change in vendor behaviours, which, along with the four disruptive factors, make the market ripe for a period of major disruption,' added Mr Skorupa. 'These behaviours will become more obvious as the pace of change increases.'

State Capital Highlights
State budget bill moves forward as conference committee agrees
AUSTIN — Texas Senate and House budget conferees met frequently last week and on May 20 managed to reach compromise on a $218 billion state budget for fiscal years 2018-2019.
However, Senate Bill 1 must gain final approval from both the House and Senate in order for the budget to continue on to the governor's desk. But as pressing a matter as the budget may seem, the bulk of time in weekend floor debates was used on a variety of other measures, such as property tax reform, municipal annexation, school bathroom accommodations for transgender students and religious conscience considerations for government employees.
Disagreements among Republicans, who hold majorities in the House and Senate, and the rivalry between the lieutenant governor and the House speaker continue to slow the customary end-of-session rush of bills. Also, the usual talk about the need for a special session to take care of unfinished business has arisen as the May 29 end of the 140-day session approaches.
One bill that did pass and is headed to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk is House Bill 62, a statewide ban on texting while driving. Authored by former speaker and dean of the House Tom Craddick, R-Midland, the bill was sponsored and amended in the Senate by Sen. Judith Zaffirini, D-Laredo, who offered companion legislation, SB 31. The House concurred in Senate amendments.
"Awareness of the dangers of texting while driving has been growing, and an April poll found that 90 percent of Texans support a statewide prohibition. Accordingly, it is time for Texas to join the 46 other states that already have banned this deadly habit," Zaffirini wrote.
Fallen officers honored
The Texas Department of Public Safety on May 16 held a memorial service in conjunction with National Police Week to honor the state troopers, special agents and Texas Rangers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
The Texas Governor's Mansion was lit with blue lights on May 17 as part of the commemoration, as a sign of solidarity with the Dallas community, that day honored officers killed in the line of duty during a terrorist attack last July.

Authorities in Manhattan have discovered the body of 27 year old Brooke Garcia, a mother of a four year old as she was sighted dead on her bed and a scarf had been enclosed around her neck, which has led to the authorities in treating her death as a suspicious and not that of an accident of any sort.
Garcia was situated in the Wald Houses located at 10 Avenue D towards the East Village, and her death had been discovered by the authorities around early afternoon last Wednesday.
As the police had raced to the house, they had pronounced her dead upon arrival.
Very Suspicious
The authorities of Manhattan have arrested one man at the moment with charges that were not linked with this incident, and although he has not been referred to as a potential suspect for this case, he was still being interrogated nonetheless about a previous incident in which he allegedly had punched a woman on New Year's Eve and left her with a bloody and severely damaged mouth.
Delia Cancel, Garcia's next door neighbor says she had just seen her the previous day in the hallway, and expressed her shock about the sudden death of her neighbor.
Not One Sound
Katy Hernandez, another neighbor of Garcia also expressed her shock to this matter, saying that she had been at her home with her dog, and not one sound had been heard by her.
Hernandez went to describe this event by saying it serves as nothing less but "nerve-racking to know it was right there." Friends of Garcia have described her as a quiet yet extremely caring person, especially towards her daughter.
Oscar Ruiz, Garcia's friend says she used to always call Garcia just to check in on her daughter. A medical examination is currently underway in order to determine the context and official cause behind Garcia's suspicious death.
