Client-side build tooling
Core JavaScript, CSS, and thirdparty dependencies are managed with the build tooling described below.
Note this only applies to core SilverStripe dependencies, you're free to manage dependencies in your project codebase however you like.
The NodeJS JavaScript runtime is the foundation of our client-side build tool chain. If you want to do things like upgrade dependencies, make changes to core JavaScript or SCSS files, you'll need Node installed on your dev environment.
As of SilverStripe 4.4, our build tooling supports the v10.x (LTS as of Sept 2019) version of NodeJS. SilverStripe 4.0 - 4.3 used Node v6.x.
If you already have a newer version of Node.js installed, check out the Node Version Manager to run multiple versions in your environment.
Since we're compiling SVG icons, you'll also need to compile native Node addons,
which requires
gcc or a similar compiler - see node-gyp
for instructions on how to get a compiler running on your platform.
yarn is the package manager we use for JavaScript dependencies.
The configuration for an npm package goes in
You'll need to install yarn after Node.js is installed.
See yarn installation docs.
We recommend using
npm which comes with Node.js to install it globally.
npm install -g yarn
Once you've installed Node.js and yarn, run the following command once in each core module folders:
The Basics: ES6, Webpack and Babel
ECMAScript 6 (ES6) is the newest version of the ECMAScript standard. It has some great new features, but the browser support is still patchy, so we use Babel to transform ES6 source files back to ES5 files for distribution.
Webpack contains the build tooling to
"transpile" various syntax patterns (ES6, SCSS) into a format the browser can understand,
and resolve ES6's
import (details).
Webpack provides the entry point to our build tooling through a
file in the root folder of each core module.
Babel is a JavaScript compiler. It takes JavaScript files as input, performs some transformations, and outputs other JavaScript files. In SilverStripe we use Babel to transform our JavaScript in two ways.
Build Commands
script property of a
package.json file can be used to define command line
A nice thing about running commands from an npm script is binaries located in
node_modules/.bin/ are temporally added to your
$PATH. This means we can use dependencies
defined in
developers to install these tools globally. This means builds are much more consistent
across development environments.
To run an npm script, open up your terminal, change to the directory where
is located, and run
$ yarn run <SCRIPT_NAME>. Where
<SCRIPT_NAME> is the name of the
script you wish to run.
$ yarn run build
Runs Webpack to builds the core JavaScript files. You will need to run this script whenever you make changes to a JavaScript file.
Run this script with
-- --watch to automatically rebuild on file changes.
The first
-- separator is required to separate arguments from NPM's own ones.
$ yarn run build -- --watch
For development only:
Run this to keep webpack automatically rebuilding your file changes, this will also include *.map files
for easier debugging. It is important to note that this should not be used for pushing up changes,
and you should run
yarn run build after you're done.
$ yarn run watch
$ yarn run css
Compiles all of the
.scss files into minified
.css files.
Run this script with
-- --watch to automatically rebuild on file changes.
The first
-- separator is required to separate arguments from NPM's own ones.
$ yarn run css -- --watch
$ yarn run lint
Run linters (
eslint and
sass-lint) linters to enforce
our JavaScript and
CSS coding conventions.
$ yarn run test
Runs the JavaScript unit tests.
$ yarn run coverage
Generates a coverage report for the JavaScript unit tests. The report is generated
in the
coverage directory.
Requiring SilverStripe ES6 Modules in your own CMS customisation
SilverStripe creates bundles which contain many dependencies you might also
want to use in your own CMS customisation (e.g.
You might also need some of SilverStripe's own ES6 modules (e.g.
To avoid double including these in your own generated bundles, we have exposed many libraries as Webpack externals. This helps to keep the file size of your own bundle small, and avoids execution issues with multiple versions of the same library.
In order to find out which libraries are exposed, check
framework/admin/client/src/bundles/ files for
require('expose?...') statements.
A shortened
webpack.config.js in your own module could look as follows:
module.exports = {
entry: {
'bundle': `mymodule/client/src/js/bundle.js`,
output: {
path: './client/dist',
filename: 'js/[name].js',
externals: {
'components/FormBuilder/FormBuilder': 'FormBuilder',
jQuery: 'jQuery',
react: 'react',
Now you can use the following statements in your ES6 code without double includes:
import react from 'react';
import jQuery from 'jQuery';
import FormBuilder from 'components/FormBuilder/FormBuilder';

White Horse Contractors sets the industry standard for golf course construction, golf course drainage or maintenance.
With a series of high profile clients, the White Horse Contractors team has completed golf courses across the UK and Europe with services including:
As leading golf course contractors our full service package takes the concept right through to completion and beyond – undertaking renovation and golf course maintenance for course owners.
Rain on a golf course can frequently result in unwanted water that flows across the surface or is held in depressions. Our golf course drainage techniques provides controlled removal of this excess surface water.
White Horse Contractors uses specialist trenching machines to cut minimum-width drainage trenches to a laser controlled depth and grade, lay a collector drain into the clean, spoil-free trench and convey trench arisings directly into low ground-pressure transport to be removed, or used elsewhere on the site.
Finally White Horse Contractors' company owned low ground-pressure backfilling units are used to deposit permeable fill, to ensure that no contamination to the existing turf occurs. All this is undertaken in a single operation and with minimal disturbance to the golf course playing surface itself.
As specialist golf course contractors we can prove a complete service for golf course owners in one company.

"White Horse Contractors has worked with us and for us on many new and established golf courses during a 20-year period and I have never known a better or more efficient company with which to deal. The company has excellent design abilities, but is also equally happy to implement the plans of other golf course drainage consultants. White Horse Contractors gives every job its full attention and sticks rigorously to plans and specification. The company's 'tidying up' after a job is exemplary, but rarely needed due to the standard of its workmanship."
Donald Steel, Donald Steel and Company, international golf course architects.
"This was an excellent job. White Horse Contractors listened to our requirements and was thoroughly professional in its undertaking. The 'course closed' sign is a distant memory. The company will be back as our programme continues."

A recent blog post on Barron's refers to a Dow Jones Newswires analysis of the Amana Income mutual fund. The post states that
"The returns have reflected the blockbuster success of staid sectors over the last 15 or so years. Per Nish, the Amana Income fund is up 12.48% on a 10-year annualized basis, far outstripping the S&P 500. The prohibition on financial stocks was a big boost during the financial crisis, although it hurt during that sector's steep rise during 2009-10."
Let's take a look at the fund's performance through the Alpholio™ lens. Here is a cumulative RealAlpha™ chart for the fund:
The chart shows three distinct phases in the fund's performance in the past eight years:
- From early 2005 to early 2008, the fund generated positive increments of RealAlpha™
- In 2008 and 2009, the fund exhibited a substantial decline in cumulative RealAlpha™, followed by a recovery to approximately the previous peak level
- From 2010 onwards, the fund's cumulative RealAlpha™ stayed roughly flat.
Interestingly enough, in the first phase, the lag cumulative RealAlpha™ of the fund was below the regular one. This implies that in the fund's management attempted new investment ideas that substantially differed from those in the prior sub-periods; however, these attempts were largely unsuccessful in generating more RealAlpha™.
The overall Alpholio™ statistics of the fund are unimpressive:
The annualized volatility of fund's returns in the entire analysis period was much lower than that of the market, which was also reflected in the commendable RealBeta™ of about 0.77. However, in the last three years, the fund's returns mostly failed to beat the returns of a reference portfolio of exchange-traded products (ETPs) that also had a slightly lower risk level. While this flat cumulative RealAlpha™ trend may not continue in the future, so far there is no strong indication that it will be broken. If it happens, Alpholio™ methodology will generate a buy signal on the fund.

My Dying Bride interview (10/2005)
|Aaron Stainthorpe [Vocals]
|Conducted by:
Band profile:
My Dying Bride
- First of all Aaron I'd love congratulate you for your latest official full-length release, "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light", and the new DVD of My Dying Bride, the exceptional "Sinamorata".
Aaron: Thank you very much. We put a lot of effort into these projects and it's nice to get complimented for that.
- Would you mind telling us a few words concerning the recordings of "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light"? How much time did you spend in the studio and how did you feel recording the successor of a great album, "The Dreadful Hours"?
Aaron: Actually, the recording is always a bit boring because you have to listen to the same song over & over again and it gets very dull. We knew we had to top The Dreadful Hours and I think we achieved that with a more mature approach to song writing.
- So "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light", the title is quite obscure, poetic though, since there are no words of light in the compositions for the lyrics drown in sorrow, hate, despair, pain and other doomed emotions. The songs are of darkness, truly; how do you conceive the "words of light" part of the title?
Aaron: It's temptation. We lead the viewer into believing there may be a ray of hope in the recording somewhere, but when they listen to it from start to finish they realize it was all a lie. Like the Sirens that lure sailors to their doom with promises of delight.
- Concerning the cover of "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light" now. It is one of the most beautiful covers you ever had, not that simplistic as most of the covers of your previous releases, yet affected, dark, sinister, poetic and with its very own morbid beauty. How do you think it paces with the overall atmosphere of the album?
Aaron: It fits well with the overall feel of the LP although it is looking a little dated already. It's a 'nice' cover in a very morbid kind of way.
- The production is wonderful for one more time and it helps the overall haunting and darkened atmosphere of the album become more vivid and expressive and also makes the, for one more time, fabulous and inspired compositions sound even greater. Would you consider it as one of the best productions you ever had?
Aaron: I think so yes, an so it should be. If your production gets worse then you are doing something wrong. With each release, a band should be getting better.
- "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light" has a more raw sound if you ask me and the guitars have a more sharp approach in the way they sound in the album, without losing in expression and, also, without leaving behind the more emotional or more atmospheric moments that have always been a part of My Dying Bride. Did you want to achieve such a sound or it just came out this way?
Aaron: I leave all that up to Andrew & Hamish. It all sound the same to me but those guys love it.
- I, personally, think that with this album you took your sound a few steps further by achieving a more various face as a band with some songs flowing as if you were watching a theatrical play, songs like "Catherine Blake" that is and flows like a story with your vocals varying on the way you express yourself making the dramatic touch more and more intense. What's your point of view on this?
Aaron: It's true that I am trying to suit my vocals to different characters in the songs that we write these days, which makes sense really. In the past I mostly screamed the vocal no matter what or who the character was. It's good to get into character because it adds another few levels to the songs.
- The album flows beautifully as one and there in the middle lies a romantic ballad-like composition, "My Wine In Silence", a composition sounding a bit different from the overall feeling of the album, yet pacing so beautifully with it in a unique way, evoking a deeply serene and, at the same time, melancholic feeling in the heavy air. Would you mind telling us a few words about this composition that I so deeply adore? And also, could you please give more light in the parts of the song where you scream in a psychotic way?
Aaron: Well now, I generally don't go into my writing too deeply because I like the listener to create a vision in their imagination of what that songs is to them, but I can say that I wrote that song when my woman was far from me and my heart was aching. The screaming part I did not like and so deleted it from the re-mix which is on Anti Diluvian Chronicles.
- As I said above, this is probably the time when you experiment the most with your vocals. Whether you recite, whisper, grunt in a more brutal way or a more howling one, sing or even recite in a movie-like way you sound utterly expressive giving meaning to every single word you utter. What should someone expect from Aaron Stainthorpe as a singer/actor/poet in the drama of My Dying Bride in the forthcoming future?
Aaron: Well those are very kind words thank you. The future will be similar to the present but hopefully with even more originality and better, well constructed songs. The emotion will always be there as I simply cannot perform in a mediocre way.
- Would you mind telling us a few words concerning the lyrical part of "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light"? For one more time you pour yourself in a world of emotions only you can express in such a vivid and expressive way losing yourself there where only you can find the ideal words to express in the most ideal way what lies deep in you. When is the ideal moment for you to pour yourself in your lyrics that are pure poetry to my eyes?
Aaron: It may sound a little cliché but I only write late at night with a bottle of red wine and lots of candles. Why? Because the house is always quiet and no-one will disturb me, and the wine eases out the emotions that lay dormant in the dark area's of my mind. I cannot write during the day. This is for living. The night is for other matters ..
- Let's move to "Sinamorata", your new DVD. What does the title mean and why did you choose it?
Aaron: It's from the word Innamorata which means to be in love with a woman, but we added the S to make it slightly more Sinful.
- In my opinion this DVD is a must-have for all the My Dying Bride fans that didn't have the chance to see you live yet since the band interprets the compositions perfectly on stage and you, Aaron, seem to be living every single moment of the show, every single word you utter, every single move you make. I, personally, remained speechless when I saw your interpretation on "A Kiss To Remember", I couldn't believe my eyes. How is it for you when you are on stage?
Aaron: It is a terrifying place to be for me and I would prefer not to be there at all! When I perform, I get myself into the same mood as when I wrote the lyrics and that's not an especially happy place to be. I am literally dying on stage and I would prefer it if we never had to play live but the rest of the band love it so I go along with it.
- What do these symbols that are painted on your hands mean to you? Do they have a specific meaning or they are just abstract shapes?
Aaron: I only paint my hands 20 minutes before we go on stage, when my mind is going crazy and my heart is ripping itself apart. Those symbols mean nothing but are expressions of my inner thoughts at that time. I am in a terrible dream-like state when I do it so I suppose there must be some meaning there.
- Why did you choose to dress in utter white at the show instead of black? I, personally, liked it and it gave me an intense sense of insanity and twisted despair.
Aaron: I always wanted a pure white stage outfit (as well as a black one of course) and " Words of Light" allowed me to do this. I am the vocalist and so words of light (from the outfit) pour from me. And it looks rather cool too.
- The songs you chose for this show come from your latest releases, without forgetting though some glorious moments of your history that come from the past of the band. I bowed in front of the band when my eyes attended the grandeur of "Sear Me", one of the most recognizable My Dying Bride compositions ever. The choice of compositions is wonderful and you interpret them in the most appropriate way. Why did you choose mainly songs coming from the latest years of the band?
Aaron: Naturally it gets more and more difficult to pick the set list with each passing LP because the songs count increases so we always have problems. We do try to include at least one song from each LP but even this small offering is sometimes not an option. We try to please ourselves first, then the public but inevitably will miss out something the fans love.
- What "bothered" me enough up to an extent were the reactions of the audience. Well, there were moments that there was headbanging and the audience was more upbeat, but most of time the audience seemed to me lifeless, just starring at the band. They could have been more alive and be a vivid audience, your music is not only for starring at the band, but also headbang and enjoy yourself in more dynamic ways. What's your point of view?
Aaron: I don't even notice the audience. They can do whatever they like and it will make no difference to me. Our music is quite varied so I imagine not a lot of movement happens as we're not Slayer. Everyone knows what to expect from us and a mosh-pit is generally not part of that.
- What I really adored concerning "Sinamorata" was the fact that you used material that the fans of the band made for you. I respect the fact that you showed your respect to those following you for years now and feel the band so deeply. Not everyone offers music videos that were made by fans. Generally, the bonus features were something wonderful to be a part of "Sinamorata". All in all, it's a wonderful offer for the fans of the band.
Aaron: Yes, we thought we'd give something back to the fans by including some of their My Dying Bride inspired work on the DVD, and they loved it. Some of it is good and some is not so good but it's the fact that we inspired them to get creative that is the important thing.
- Not only you are an utterly emotional and deeply expressive interpreter, not only your lyrics are pure poetry, you also are an artistic spirit when it comes to artworks, having designed artworks of My Dying, but also other artworks that never became part of the band, yet they are wonderful, some of them mourning, some others abstract, others obscure or melancholic. Would you mind telling us a few words about this artistic part of yours?
Aaron: The art is created very much in the same way as the lyrics; late at night with a few glasses of wine. If I can't think of a good subject to write about then I get visual and try that angle. Most of my material is very abstract because that's what's running through my mind when I create them, and I often look back at some of them and wonder what the hell was wrong with me at that time. I like dark and erotic art and am continuing to add to my portfolio all the time. Have a look at www.azzron.com but be warned; it's all a bit weird. It's my personal thing so I don't expect people to enjoy looking at things they don't understand.
- Would you mind telling us, concerning your musical preferences, who is your favorite non-metal artist and which is your most beloved non-metal album?
Aaron: I adore Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and especially "Murder Ballads" but I also love Dead Can Dance "The Serpents Egg" and Swans "White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity".
- What lies in the depths of Aaron Stainthorpe's world?
Aaron: Even I am not privy to that information. I'm not sure any of us really know what's deep inside but it's certainly an experience finding out.
- Aaron, how do you feel when you look back in the past? Which where your dreams when you formed My Dying Bride back in the birth of the 90s and how do you feel nowadays seeing that you have come so far and you have become a milestone name in the world of the 90s doom metal scene?
Aaron: When we first formed we naturally wanted to make a record and that was one of our goals. Then, to play live in Europe too. We were very lucky in that we achieved both in the first 2 years. I honestly don't have any goals any more for My Dying Bride as we have done everything I ever wanted, for which I am very proud and happy.
- Well, some time has passed from the moment "Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light" came out, are you working on new compositions? What should we expect from My Dying Bride in the forthcoming future? Any plans on the horizon for a new album? And if so, could you give us any clue of how it may sound?
Aaron: We have only just begun writing the next LP and so it is far too early to tell you anything about the sound and structure yet, however we have booked the studio for next April so hopefully the next MDB outing will be October/November 2006 with a European tour to follow.
- Almost three years have passed from the moment you played live here in Greece, I guess the time has come for you to pay us another visit, you can't imagine how many people are waiting to see live for the first time and, at the same time, how many are dying to live once again how it feels to see the doom/death metal colossus bearing the name My Dying Bride! Any plans for Greece?
Aaron: We had a great time before and were due to come back earlier this year but couldn't make it sadly, but we will certainly return. The people we met were very friendly and had a vast knowledge of My Dying Bride which was great.
- Aaron, I'd like to thank you wholeheartedly for this interview, it was an honor interviewing one of the greatest personalities of the metal scene for me. Thanks a lot for the beautiful music throughout the years, may you keep on filling our nighttime with intense emotions! "Sleeping with the earth, My Dying Bride". End the interview in any way you like
Aaron: Well, thank you for you uplifting words. They are very much appreciated. We do hope you all continue to enjoy the things that we do and hopefully we'll get back over to Greece in the not too distant future.
Many thanks
Many thx, to Aaron and Lisa of Peaceville. Pictures by Lady Morgana

How to Precisely Dissect and Analyze a Turd
[Via Discoblog]
Figure 2. Processing of stool samples according to consistency including whole-stool homogenization. Sausage-shaped-but-soft samples were processed like in (A) without taking samples from the center.
Hundreds of millions of people suffer from parasitic infections, like hookworm. And how do doctors diagnose these infections? Stool samples.
An accurate diagnosis is key for doctors to better understand and treat parasitic worms. The current diagnosing method relies on counting worm eggs in stool samples, but doctors often miss infections if they are mild or unevenly distributed throughout a sample.
Scientists in Côte d'Ivoire set out to see how they could improve the diagnosing process. The researchers necessarily have a sense of humor about their study, which they titled "An In-Depth Analysis of a Piece of Shit," published in PLoS Neglected Tropial Diseases last week.
The researchers found that homogenizing the stool samples made for more accurate egg counts with particular infections, and that storing stool samples on ice or covered with a wet tissue prevented the decay of certain worm eggs. Their findings may help doctors better identify, treat and control the spread of these serious infections. Their turd-dissection diagrams are pretty entertaining as well.

The journal is open access so you to can read it. It has the great figure from above in it as well as this great description under the heading Stool Parameters:
Stool was produced between 05:30 and 11:10 hours (median: 08:35 hours) and collected between 07:52 and 11:19 hours (median: 09:05 hours). On average, nine samples were collected each day (range: 2–11 samples). One third of all samples (33.8%) were sausage-shaped, 28.8% were mushy, 25.2% were sausage-shaped-but-soft, 7.7% were lumpy, and 4.5% were sausage-shaped-but-lumpy (Table 2).
All potty humor aside – as their title shows, even researchers are human – the article details better procedures to diagnose parasite infections that harm millions. I just think we might find better approaches than having to count eggs in shit.
How about next-generation sequencing devices that can determine if parasite DNA is present in the stool?

The good will that Mayor Michael Bloomberg built among Muslims with his support of the planned mosque near ground zero was threatened this week as Islamic religious and civic leaders decried a recently disclosed police effort to gather intelligence on Muslim neighborhoods.
Fifteen Muslim clerics and community figures said they will boycott the mayor's annual interfaith breakfast today because of the surveillance program, whose existence was revealed by the Associated Press.
The breakfast, held at the New York Public Library building on 42nd Street, has long served as a way to showcase the city's diversity during the overlapping winter holidays.
"We felt uncomfortable going to have coffee and doughnuts with the mayor knowing that this civil liberties crisis that's affecting all New Yorkers is not going to be addressed," said Imam Al-Hajj Talib Abdur-Rashid, president of the Islamic Leadership Council of New York, a group of 35 clerics and their congregations.
He and other Muslim activists and clerics sent a letter to Bloomberg this week turning down their invitations. About three dozen other people signed the letter as supporters, including rabbis, a Catholic nun, Protestant pastors and a Quaker.
Activists accused Bloomberg of squandering the good will built up last year when he fiercely defended a proposed Islamic prayer and cultural center not far from where the World Trade Center stood. The mosque is still in the planning stages.
Bloomberg had also won praise from Muslim leaders for criticizing anti-Islamic rhetoric and offering words of compassion after fires in the Bronx killed a large Muslim family and destroyed a mosque.
"However, despite these welcome and positive actions, very disturbing revelations have come to light regarding the city's treatment of Muslim New Yorkers," the letter said.
Bloomberg's office said it expects about two dozen Muslim leaders to attend the breakfast.
"You're going to see a big turnout tomorrow, and it's nice that all faiths can get together," Bloomberg said Thursday. Boycott participants "are going to miss a chance to have a great breakfast."
He and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly insist their counterterrorism programs are legal.
"Contrary to assertions, the NYPD lawfully follows leads in terrorist-related investigations and does not engage in the kind of wholesale spying on communities that was falsely alleged," police spokesman Paul Browne said in an email Thursday.
But records examined by the AP show the police department collected information on people who were neither accused nor suspected of wrongdoing.
The AP series detailed police department efforts to infiltrate Muslim neighborhoods and mosques with aggressive programs designed by a CIA officer.
Documents reviewed by the AP revealed that undercover police officers known as "rakers" visited businesses such as Islamic bookstores and cafes, chatting up store owners to determine their ethnicities and gauge their views. They also played cricket and eavesdropped in ethnic clubs.
The surveillance efforts have been credited with enabling police to thwart a 2004 plot to bomb the Herald Square subway station.
Critics said the efforts amount to ethnic profiling and violate court guidelines that limit how and why police can collect intelligence before there is evidence of a crime. They have asked a judge to issue a restraining order against the police.

Move over Hongo Takeshi, the real King of Kamen Riders is here.
The bearer of the King stone, the black sun, the one and only, Kamen Rider Black, Minami Kotaro!
Being placed so many years after ZX and so many years before Kuuga (I discounted Shin, ZO, and J blatantly, just because), I see Black as the singularity in the Kamen Rider world. That, plus the fact that it managed to force me to get up early on Sundays. My mother must be thanking him secretly back then.
This is the second Kamen Rider Black LP we're showcasing on this site. The first one is accessible here, and as usual, the Kamen Rider category menu on the right side will give you more on the topic.
This time though, when I obtained this LP from a flea market, I was able to contain myself, and not doing histerical things like I did when I got the Hit Song album.
This 1988 Columbia stereo LP delivers just what's needed to be the aural ambassador of Black's greatness. The jacket itself is a standard one, simple and elegant, but probably border-line lazy. It lacks the usual radical pose of Tokusatsu series back then. Mine has lost its' internal insert sheet, but it's OK.
This album carries ten music parts, with additional TV-sized opening and ending as appropriate. I must say that I enjoyed the Hit Song compilation album more than this one, but don't let this hold you back. You will still be listening to a great and balanced scores from the beloved series.
Will you be asleep before side-1 ends? Without enough knowledge of Black's adventure and perseverance, there's a chance that you'd fall asleep. Unfortunately.
Here, a sample from the first part of side-2, titled "Cafe Tora", but I am sure this is just a super laid back version of the legendary "Long Long Ago 20th Century".

My wife and I spent the weekend talking about gray water systems and gray water reuse when the question came up, "Is that even legal?" So today I made a series of phone calls to find out.
I regret to report: No. In Pennsylvania they are not.
Now, I can't point to a specific piece of legislation outlawing gray water systems. No directly worded document like that exists. However, the source of this information is Martin Ferry, the Permits Chief and an environmental engineer for the the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. During the conversation he made it very clear that Pennsylvania does not distinguish between gray and black water. Both are sewage and must be processed to state standards.
PA DEP views gray water as a health hazard and no longer issues permits for residential systems involving any kind of gray water reuse. Mr. Ferry referenced DEP studies and examples of constructed wetlands for grey water reuse that did not perform as required, which ended permitting.
Another barrier to a better designed world, but now the barrier is identified, gray water reuse advocates can work within their community and with legislators to get this changed.

Jen came to me last year in preparation for her upcoming destination wedding in Punta Cana. When we initially met, Jen really wanted to focus on losing extra weight, toning up arms and core, as well as losing some inches off the waist and hips. She was focused on feeling confident and fit in her dress and by the pool. She signed up for bridal bootcamp and as her trainer I'm proud of all of her accomplishments over the past year! Congrats Jen!
I asked Jen to fill out a short questionnaire. Please check out her answers below.
Challenges: I really wanted to find a workout where I was committed. I hate getting bored and like to try new things. So it was important to me that the bootcamp was high energy, fun, but also challenging. I also felt I need to focus on nutrition and having healthy eating habits.
Accomplishments: I feel stronger and definitely look a lot better!! I finally lost inches from my hips – and can fit into those jeans I have been holding onto for years!
Priscilla also gave me some great tips to eat right – and I think that was the tipping point for me!
Priscilla will not only get you in shape for your big day – but give you the confidence you need to feel great in your dress! The small group environement is great – it makes you accountable to make sure you show up – and all the ladies (and occassional bf/fiance/husband) are extremely supportive. Priscilla is flexible, which is something someone planning a wedding needs! She has great energy and will help you to push yourself towards your goals.
April 2012: 28 inches
Today: 26
April 2012: 39
Today – 36
Check out a few wedding shots! Jen looks gorgeous and fit!

WHILE Angkor Wat tourists still reign supreme in those coming to our shores looking to past and ancient civilisations, our visitors are developing their interests and venturing out to the many villages and provinces, national parks and rainforests for some extra excitement.
Adventure tourism can mean anything from hang gliding to white- water rafting, trekking to offroading.
But Cambodia Enduro Adventures believes that if you are looking to see this beautiful and diverse country there is no better way than on a motorcycle.
"You can visit remote temples amidst the jungle rarely seen by others and visit traditional rural villages. We can provide customers with everything needed including bikes, lodgings, and support vehicles. Nearly 70percent of our clients are novice riders so anyone can enjoy these tours," said Enduro's Graham Burbidge.
The company's tours encompass the whole of the country as well as southern Laos but the most popular destinations are the north, northeast and the south.
"In the north we travel through the provinces of Rattanakiri, Mondulkiri, Stung Treng, Preah Vihear and Kratie. Southern provinces include Kampong Spue, Koh Kong, Kampot, Kep and Sihanoukville while another popular route is the Pursat – Cardomon Mountains – Koh Kong," said Graham.
"These are the most popular places but we vary our tours to meet the customer's needs. The tours generally take place all year round but the most popular time is the dry season – November to April .
"Tour times are based on individuals and group needs. We usually like to keep groups to a maximum of 15 but that can be increased based on bike availability, guides and other factors." The customers of Cambodia Enduro Adventures come from all over the world with about 60 percent Australian, 10 percent French and the remaining 30 percent from other mixed nations.
"We have been in operation since 2006. Only recently we began marketing ourselves through the internet as we see a developing market in this area," said Graham.

Tonight, we spoke to the lovely Michelle Zunter. I found her on Huffington Post where she is a regular contributor. Also check out her fabulous blog, theponderingnook.com. She was great and this was her first podcast. Michelle performed like a champ, a total natural. Hopefully she will want to come on again very soon. Thanks Michelle!
In this podcast with Michelle Zunter, we talk about the high and lows of having an affair with a married man/serial cheater and the lessons she learned from that tumultuous time of her life.
We also get into a little girl talk about a Playboy Playmate (I can't believe I'm writing that) who took a picture of an older woman getting out of shower at a gym. The poor woman was nude. La Bimbo posted it to instagram thinking how funny it was. Sorry Ms. Playmate, Not funny..AWFUL..
All around a fun show with a few chicks talking chick talk. Thanks for listening, -=Grace=-

So I finished my project for my Design for Media. This week, I created a whole bunch more concepts and sketches before ending with at those final pieces. Instead of doing one final piece, I decided to go with a series of three illustrations in order to tell a story. Below you'll see the final pieces as well as my process.
The three of these final pieces tell a progressing story together. In the first piece, Akuma, the demon boy, is approaching Sarah and Clove. He is welcoming the two of them to the Demon World. Akuma has been sent to become Sarah's Guardian Demon because she has recently become a DarkVao (which is basically a human who has been infused with demon cells). In the second piece, the three of them decide to travel together through the Demon World. And then in the final piece, they are depicted embarking on their adventure together through the Demon World. Akuma is the leader of the group, since he is native to this World.
These are a couple of tests that I did before putting together the actual final. I was experimenting with different compositions, and overall placing my characters within the landscapes.
"Traditional Composition Tests"
Here are some more sketches that I did of placing my characters into compositions. These ones are all traditional, very rough sketches.
"Rough Posed Gestures"
I made a bunch of attempts at creating poses for my characters to be in for the final piece. Basically these are a bunch of gestures I made from memory, trying to play with shapes and place my characters in poses relating to their personality. Akuma is the red, Clove is the green, and Sarah is the blue.

A Diamond on the Wall
Publisher's Summary
At the official website for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall (http://thewall-usa.com/), the following description is given regarding the symbols that either precede or follow each of the 58,272 names that are indelibly etched into The Wall:
The diamonds and pluses (crosses) indicate whether a person is confirmed dead (those who died in accidents are included) or missing/whereabouts unknown. The diamond indicates a person's death was confirmed. The pluses (crosses) indicate that a person remains missing and unaccounted for and in no way are meant to be a religious symbol. A plus (cross) symbol can be easily turned into a diamond if a person is declared dead (such as the return of their remains). A circle (as a symbol of life) will be inscribed around the plus if the person comes back alive. As of this time, no circle appears on the wall. On the West wall the symbols precede the names, while on the East wall they follow the names.
This is the story of how three American Green Berets (of which I was one), along with our ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) counterparts, and one hundred sixty Montagnard Strikers, succeeded in accomplishing what a Battalion of the 4th Division could not do - and in the process, insured that A Diamond on The Wall preceded the name of one fallen American Warrior; and how that recovery mission still impacts my life today.

Crazy Horse and the Hands of Time.
When the Trek America driver at the Grand Canyon campsite informed me about Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota I knew that this would have to be the next trip I embarked on after I arrived back in Sydney, Australia. Plus the driver mentioned that he was reading Crazy Horse by Nebraska author Mari Sandoz. Something clicked upstairs for more information about this mysterious Lakota War Chief as the Grand Canyon campfire flames glowed.
Years later during one of the road trips in 1992 Kim and I visited with Caroline Sandoz Pifer the sister of Mari Sandoz at her home in the Sand Hills of Nebraska. Caroline had journeyed with Mari in 1930 down to the Oglala-Lakota Pine Ridge Reservation to interview Chief He Dog who was aged ninety years old. The old man had been a lifelong friend of Crazy Horse and they fought together at the Greasy Grass in 1876.
At the tender age of seventy-one Caroline started a three year degree at university so she could have the proper paperwork to publish her sisters letters. Today while editing the Letters of Acknowledgement for the website I enjoyed reading the letters I received from Caroline in 1992 and again when we met in 1999. Caroline Sandoz Pifer lived to the ripe old age of one hundred years and passed away in 2012.

How your personality type affects on your sleep
Your personality can explain your interaction with the world. But it can also explain your sleeping habits.
• Your genetics determine are you an early bird or a night owl. Maybe you don't like staying up late or waking up early, but this you cannot change. This depends on your genes and on your internal clock. However, age can affect on it. For example, adolescent have higher chances to be night owls.
• If you think a lot, you will have problems sleeping. Luckily, there are treatments for this problem. The most common reason for over thinking is anxiety and stress. When you solve them, you won't have problems with your sleep.
• In some cases is better to be an early bird. According to several researches, people who are early birds are happier. But, they are also more persistent. These people are also better rested, because their internal clock isn't out of 5-9 social clock sync.
• Night owls have higher cognitive capabilities, and they are more creative. According to a study, they are greater risk-factors. According to several experts, night owls shouldn't be criticized. But, they must have at least 7 hours of sleep. If they have less than that, it isn't very good.
• Neurotic people have increased stress-reactivity. This means that they are more affected by certain problems. This has been linked with sleeping problems and even insomnia. Researchers found that anxiety is the main problem here.
• Extroverts have better sleep quality. According to a study from 2014, people with higher extroversion, agreeableness and high conscientiousness have better sleep. However, there are many factors that affect on this.

Chapter OneIf you had been across the street, pretending to investigate the local summer roses outside Holliday's Flower Shop, you could have seen them through the café's plate glass, the two sitting in a booth by the window, eating lunch. You could have seen them even if you had been inside the shop, peering from behind the window display of native Bakersfield succulents, wide-faced California sunflowers, blue flax in hanging pots. The two of them sat in full view of everyone passing by, minding their own business. Their mouths moved alternately in long, drawn-out soliloquies, or sometimes they paused and deliberated, as if they had to choose their words carefully, grinning if they spoke at the same time. The girl was eating a thin sandwich and taking short sips from a thick glass of cola. The man ate with a knife and fork, his elbows up in a sawing motion, his eyes sometimes looking down to concentrate.
He was the most handsome man in town for sure, and his mother owned a little motel out on the highway. He always seemed to be wearing only brand-new shirts: no one could keep shirts that color, that softness, time after time, hanging them to dry stiff on a backyard line.
He would be a good man to marry.
They were eating in the café located on one of the choice corners on a better stretch of Union Avenue, the café that still had the plate-glass windows all the way down to the sidewalk, one of the few places that still did after the '52 earthquake. You could see the entire booth through those windows: the table, the red vinyl, their dishes, the waitress's white shoes when she came by to check on them, how the girl crossed her feet and rocked them nervously. She was not dressed as crisply as he was. Even if her clothes looked clean and pressed, you could tell right off that the day she began wearing nice things around town was the day the two of them had done more than talk and have lunch. His mother, whom everybody knew, had worked at the café since before the earthquake, and the waitresses who served him at any of the shifts—breakfast, lunch, dinner, or late-night coffee and cherry pie—had all known him as a boy, so it was hard to tell if their attentions to him were motherly or something more flirtatious.
And yet the one to grab his attention was that skinny brown girl who lived above the bowling alley. Always on foot, always staring into the windows of the record shop, of the TG&Y, of the furniture store, of the Rexall, even of the shoe store where you worked, as if she hadn't set up the displays herself. A very plain girl, not too tall, with slender hips, and hair as dark as her mother's. Her mother had worked at the café, too—with his mother, in fact—almost eight or nine years ago. No doubt his mother remembered.
You could see that girl walking to work at the shoe store, back and forth, going to her apartment during the lunch hour, then home again by the end of the day, no matter what the Valley weather brought: summer heat, fall rains, the terrible winter fog. Even in late November and December, when the sun had gone down by near five o'clock and the streets fell dark, she would walk home alone after the store closed. And that's how it should have stayed, a plain girl like that all alone.
But now this: a thin sandwich and Dan Watson, who was surely going to pay for it, then the waitress coming round with the dessert menu, the girl glancing at the clock, Dan urging her to choose something, then clearly instructing the waitress to hurry back. The waitress indulges him, of course, he being who he is, and comes back with two small silver dishes of vanilla ice cream. He leans over and spoons a small scoop of her ice cream into the cola glass. There is still a lot of soda left, the way she has been sipping it, savoring it. He points for her to take a taste and she does so warily, as if she's never tasted anything like it before. But you have to believe she never has, once that look crosses her face, an amused arch of her eyebrows and a nod of approval.
How people change when they get a taste of the good life! When suddenly the dollar bills in your hand can go for things you want instead of need. A fork-and-knife meal at the café; scarves and pearl chokers; pendants and brooches; jewelry boxes with ballerinas springing to attention; that lovely sound of pushing rings and earrings and bracelets against each other while you're searching. Flowers from Holliday's like the good husbands do: tulips and Easter lilies from Los Angeles in the springtime, a wrist corsage for attending a wedding. A car trip over to the coast, to Morro Bay and the enormous, beautiful rock basking just off the shoreline. A day in Hollywood, the exhilaration of knowing movie stars breathe in the very same sunshine. Silk blouses brought home in delicate paper; dresses that require dry cleaning; lingerie so elegant it refuses to be scandalous.
Is that the life she knows she has ahead of her, the way she is sitting there, her feet rocking nervously after nearly a whole hour? Does she know how every young woman in town wants exactly this? Does she know that people turn their heads to watch them leave the café, to watch him open the door of his Ford truck for her? Does she know people discuss what they've seen, what his mother must think?
Summer carries on, the heat still scorching into September. Harvest time has arrived in Bakersfield and more people have come into town looking for work, whole caravans sometimes. Faces are not as familiar as before, not at the supermarkets, not on the downtown streets. Bakersfield is the open door to the southern part of the state, and the workers come pouring through. So many people have arrived that it becomes difficult to find parking spots, to buy fresh meat, even to get a bench at the Jolly Kone hamburger stand. But this will be short lived—by the end of October, after much of the late-summer crop has been brought in from the fields, the town will go back to normal. The strangers will leave, counting their money, and Bakersfield will wait for those first few weeks of November when the sky goes gray and the fog rolls in over the coastal range and lingers for months on end.
In all the commotion of the harvest boom, most people don't notice that the girl is no longer walking the streets to work. At the lunch hour, she's nowhere to be seen over near Chester Avenue, where her apartment is. But at the shoe store, she's there sure enough, dutifully stepping from the back storage room when Mr. Carson snaps his fingers and tells her the sizes he needs. She never says a word unless a Spanish-speaking customer comes in: this is why she was hired. Mr. Carson cannot refuse the potential business from these customers and leaves the girl to tend to them, stepping away and occupying himself with other business. The girl points to several shoes—she never used to do that!—and smiles boldly at the Spanish-speaking customers, bringing out boxes and boxes for inspection.
Enough word has gotten around town about her eye for beautiful shoes, for high heels that don't necessarily strain the arches, for knowing a budget without having to ask. She moves with confidence and assurance, even if she is not allowed to ring up the sales on her own. She stands nearby to translate, and you handle the money: you, the girl who should be trusted, the kind of girl that should end up with a man like the one she has.
She is no longer walking the streets, but riding around with Dan Watson, her elbow resting on the truck door while they drive with the windows rolled down. The two of them at the café for lunch sometimes, the waitresses acting as if nothing could be less ordinary. The two of them stepping out of the record shop several times a week with brown-papered packages stuck under his arms. People saying, by late September, that she's picked up a second job, serving drinks to the patrons over at Las Cuatro Copas, the place where her boyfriend tends bar, and the owner of the rival place across the street is peeved because even the white crowd has trickled over there just to get a look at her.
Las Cuatro Copas isn't the best cantina in town, but if you go there, you would do well to put on your best long skirt, the wider the better because there's good music for dancing. Farther up Union Avenue is a grander space—a real nightclub—with a terrazzo dance floor so smooth you have to hang on tight to your partner to keep from slipping, and gorgeous dining rooms off to the sides with a full wait staff and a Los Angeles menu of roast beef and rib-eye steaks and Cornish hens. But Las Cuatro Copas does just fine by itself. It welcomes everyone, the little tables crowded as people sit to eat and drink until the kitchen closes at eight thirty. All the while, that girl comes around with plates of chicken legs and taquitos and bottles of beer, along with the check on a green slip of paper with her neat handwriting, and she collects the bills and brings everything over to Dan Watson, hurrying people along with their meals because the tables get put away for the dancing. Not enough space for a wide skirt to flow out full, and a wooden floor that sends up dust, but it's dancing all the same. Friday nights or Sundays or Wednesdays, she's there, handing the green slips of paper over to her boyfriend and waiting for the change, the two of them running the place smooth as smoke.
But you don't have to go to the cantina to see all of that if jealousy gets to be too much. You can avert your gaze as they exit the supermarket, where he comes out holding two paper bags stuffed full of food. Or pretend not to see them loading boxes of tequila into the truck bed over at the discount liquor store. They show up everywhere: just a little west of Bakersfield, just far enough away from the city lights, is the local drive-in theater, a line of cars idling at the dusty entrance at sundown. A concession stand sits in the middle, and everyone goes there for big striped boxes of popcorn and hot dogs and candy, cradling everything close so only one trip is necessary. Horns beep whenever a car pulls in with its lights on, even though the sky is still lit orange with sundown and the double bill nowhere near beginning. Music comes in over the speakers, old big-band numbers that no one listens to anymore. Some couples sit out on the hoods after the engines have cooled down. The people returning from the concession stand darken to shadows as dusk finally breaks into night and the first feature starts, always something of mild interest: a monster movie with a beautiful blond raising her hands to her ears and screaming, then a pursuit with gunfire popping through the speakers all up and down the drive-in lot. Laughter carries across several cars, friends having spotted each other and walking over to say hello. Car trunks pop open quickly for six-packs to be brought out. By the end of the first film, night has settled in deep, and the drive-in lights up once more to help people make their way to the concession stand and the bathrooms, where the girls walk together in threes and edge for space at the mirrors, everyone finding out who came with whom.
She's there, that girl. You looked for her among the faces surrounding the bathroom mirrors, but she was nowhere to be found. But you know she's there—you spotted Dan Watson's beautiful form gliding across the dusty lane toward the concession stand. He returns now to his pickup, just ahead, holding a box of popcorn in his hand and sporting a cowboy hat, his jeans taut, everything lean and hard the way he glides from one end of the windshield to the other before disappearing into the cab of his truck. That girl is the other shadow. He is handing her the box. Ten minutes later, the lot darkens and the second feature begins—a detective story. You can tell by the hat the lead actor is wearing. No one wears hats like that around here, unless they're from Los Angeles. On-screen, a beautiful girl screams before a pair of anonymous hands close around her neck and she collapses as if struck by a sudden urge to sleep. She did not scream as terribly as the beautiful blond who was attacked by the monster in that other movie, but somehow it was more real, more probable, and enough to make you turn your head away and look out past the edge of the drive-in's lot, the stretch of oil fields, the ring of mountains to the south and east of Bakersfield, to Los Angeles. Is that where the movie is set, where something like this could happen?
No one seems to care about questions like that, not by how the shadows in the cars ahead begin to blend together, one by one. Some stay separate, but most don't. There's been beer and slugs of whiskey and lipstick applied in the bathroom mirror and cigarettes and sweet talk. Hands on knees and short whispers and legs shaved that evening, baby smooth. All over town, getting ready, everyone knowing—or hoping—the evening would come to this, a lot of sweet talk in a dark car and the squeak of the vinyl as your polite date slides over. The taste of the beer in his mouth, slightly bitter, but sweet, too, the surprise that men taste sweet inside. All of them. Rough but sweet. Your hand on his cheek to feel the itch of his whiskers, what you can't see but can feel. Forceful but sweet, and it's that sweetness that calms the alarm about where his hands move, sometimes above the knee or underneath the hem at the back of your blouse, just two fingertips in that hollow space at the bottom of the spine. Forceful but gentle at the same time, his mouth moving to your neck, the smell of his hair, Prell shampoo just like your own. A moan escapes from your mouth, uncontrollable, because his weight is delicious and so is the thought that he's leaving that sweet taste of his mouth on your skin. He reaches over to turn the knob down on the speaker, and the movie goes mute and you watch the screen while he's occupied, the detective at a desk saying something into a phone, how you have to guess what he's saying, the way you have to guess at everything in life—what you see and what you make of it, what you know for sure and what you have to experience, what others tell you and what gets confirmed.
You can see Dan over in his pickup truck. His shadow has merged with the other one, slipped into the same space, the passenger side of the cab. It is that girl. It must be. She knows that sweet taste, too, what that space in the hollow of his back feels like. A moan comes out of your mouth just from thinking about him, and here, in this dark car, this boy—earnest but inconsequential, strong but too sweet—hears your moan and lets his hands glide up, cautious, to the unworkable bridge of the bra hooks. There is patience and inexperience all over the drive-in, some hands retreating in defeat, and then there are others, like his, that manage and move quickly before being denied. On-screen, the detective lights a cigarette and seems to look out at all the cars. There is a woman whom the detective loves, too, but in the movie, you already know he's going to have to wait to get to her. And still, it won't be this, an earnest but inconsequential boy who is sweating at the brow from nerves and delirium, his mouth impatient at each nipple. He has never felt a pair of breasts before, not by the way his hands clamor underneath your bra. He has to learn to open the blouse completely first, how to caress buttons. He has to learn to be gentle and enjoy the feel of skin, give pleasure instead of just taking it. But right now, his eyes round out, dewy and unblinking at his first sight of rosy nipples. He is twenty-three but still a boy. He puts his mouth on each nipple and has to have his hand guided to your other breast. You reach down to feel him because this is what he wants, what he needs, and there's just the sound now of months and months of his desires finally being met. He's doing the moaning now, the teenage voice from years ago stuck in his throat as his thick cowboy belt buckle gets undone for him and the top button released. He wore brand-new underwear—the elastic is too tight—and there is his warm thickness. It's enormous and probably beautiful, but he's too young and inexperienced to know that yet. His stomach is coated with that familiar stickiness and he rests his forehead on the car door while he's fondled. Who can tell what he is thinking, a soft hand stroking him hard enough that he actually has to pull away, but keeping his forehead on the door as if he's ashamed? The detective on the screen is giving chase along the dark streets of a city, but no one cares about the pursuit. A car just ahead is bobbing ever so slightly. There is nothing wrong with wanting like this. Even better with a young man of twenty-three, still mired in shame: he won't be bragging to anyone, still thinking what he's doing is dirty, and you can go back to work at the shoe store with no one ever gossiping about you. His hands have to be brought down to the wet warmth that he's never come close to, even in his imagination, his fingers guided around and inside. He's a sweet boy, but you know, after he drops you off, that he'll be smelling those fingers all the way home.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to do Family Home Evening and actually do it! (We usually call grocery shopping FHE.) So, we did it tonight. It on was "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam." I thought I was being all creative. I figured we'd learn the song and color a picture about it. Come to find out, Henry already KNOWS that Jesus wants him for Sunbeam. He knew the song and the jumping on the word beam already. I was totally bummed. I mean I was glad Henry knew the song, it is always fun to watch toddler sing and dance...
Which prophet/GA said that everything he learned at church he had already learned at home? Yeah, not so much over at our house... I've already failed my son.

The Roller Coaster LegislatureStacey Campfield has published word that Kent Williams may soon be removed from the Tennessee Republican Party. If true, there is some debate, even among conservatives, as to the wisdom of the move. Some have said that it is better to keep him in the party until the next election, that this will isolate him politically. For my own part, I have come to the conclusion that Williams must be removed for no other reason than that it shows those members of the House Republican Caucus who might be tempted to vote for Democrats for Speaker or Speaker Pro Tempore of the House of Representatives that there will be political consequences in a negative way for their actions.
One thing that many on all sides are coming to see that the events of January 13th at the State Capitol created a caustic climate in the General Assembly in which it will be very difficult to do business. Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey has said that at least he had a good working relationship with Jimmy Naifeh, that he has no trust for Kent Williams.
Among members of the House, many Republicans feel that their efforts to gain a majority have been nullified by an organizational vote. Kent Williams was untruthful with Republican leaders, none of whom now believe that he will ever be completely straight with them. Democrats cannot really trust Williams, as he has already demonstrated that he will lie to them as well-he had said he would vote Democratic for constitutional offices. Further, many Democrats doubtless know that if Williams would deceive his own party, he wound have no qualms about stabbing the Democrats in the back as well.
There is very little trust and much suspicion among all parties in the 106th Tennessee General Assembly. Hence, there is likely to be little in the way of a middle ground in how this session will progress. This is entirely speculative on my part, but I believe we will either see an incredibly short session, where legislators scurry to pass a bare-bones budget and then go home, or a very long one marked by heavy scrutiny of nearly every bill and delays in the normal progress of daily business on the Hill. As one legislator told me "I've cleared my calendar until the 4th of July."
The First Session of the 106th General Assembly will very likely be something of a political roller coaster ride.

Picking up right where we left off yesterday… Week 2 of Jimmy's Running Diary
But first, the backstory…
There's nothing better than a being stuck in the house during a snowstorm to make you want to clean everything, organize your out of control closet, and go through your nightstand drawers. The amount of stuff that collects in or around my nightstand is truly out of control. During my cleaning spree, I did not realize that I would come across this little gem….
That's right – Jimmy's Running Diary from 2010. Back before everything was digital and in an app format, people used to actually buy running diaries to track their running progress. I remember buying this diary for Jimmy; however, I do not remember him actually using it. I was getting ready to throw it away – but something told me to look inside. Page by page I flipped through the diary, realizing not only is Jimmy athletic and sporty – but he is also super funny. So please enjoy the following few posts courtesy of Jimmy circa 2010 when he was training for the Baltimore Half Marathon.
January 10, 2010
Distance: 1 Mile
Time: 10 Minutes
Notes: Felt good. Took Jack3d and felt it. Did chest and triceps and killed it. Hoping that if I keep working my glamour muscles I might have more motivation to run. Went for a quick mile today. Will try and do 2 tomorrow.
January 11, 2010
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 12 minutes
Notes: Just ran today. Wasn't really feeling the working out part. I think I am gonna start weighing myself February 1. I think I am going to start hearing the scale scream in pain February 1st.
January 12, 2010
Distance: 1 Mile
Time: 11:30 minutes
Notes: Ran a little, thought about burritos, then did another 10 minutes on the elliptical. Did some ab/back work. Took Jack3d and felt good again. Quit working out early to hit up Chipotle – that line always takes forever. I did not get double meat or extra cheese.
January 13, 2010
Distance: 0
Time: 0
Notes: Thought about working out, and then thought about napping. The nap won. I will hit the gym hard tomorrow.
(Not sure what happened between January 13th and 21st)
January 22, 2010
Rating: Very good
Distance: 1 mile
Time: 10 minutes
Notes: Crushed it at the gym today and also at dinner with pasta. Gotta carbo-load, that half marathon is 8 months away. Did 1.5 miles on the elliptical and a mile on the treadmill.
January 23, 2010
Rating: Very good
Notes: Did 30 minutes on the elliptical today and did Courtney's workout. She worked the $hit out of me. Between yesterday and today I am gonna be pretty sore tomorrow.
February 14, 2010
Distance: 4 miles
Time: 45 Minutes
Notes: Ran 2 miles, came home and rested while Court finished only for her to come home and tell me she wanted to do 2 more so I ran 2 more at her pace. Never did 2 miles straight before especially at her pace. BEAST MODE!
Don't you just LOVE the progress he is making?! And personally, I love the fact that he can admit that I kicked his butt in the gym. (Although he would never admit this to my face.) Stay tuned to find out about the rest of his training plan and find out if he ever completes that half marathon.
Do you find Jimmy motivating? Let us know! We are trying to talk him into doing a few guest blogs for us – and would appreciate some help in convincing him!

DC Trans Groups Victorious In Shelter Struggle
Shelter that discriminated against transgender woman agrees to stop discriminating, train its staff on trans sensitivity, and make its facilities safer for trans people
A DC transgender resident named Lakiesha Washington, Transgender Health Empowerment (a drop-in center for LGBT people), and DC Trans Coalition have won a major victory for transgender homeless people.
As the Washington Blade reported earlier this week, Lakiesha Washington sued New Hope Ministries–operator of the John L Young Women's Shelter–for discrimination on the basis of gender identity and expression. On April 3, 2013, Washington attempted to get a bed in the John L Young Shelter, and was turned away, being told (as is noted in Ms. Washington's complaint), "We don't do transgenders here. You have to leave."
Washington, and the lawyer representing her–DC Trans Coalition member Jeffrey Light–negotiated with New Hope Ministries through this last week that New Hope would agree to a Temporary Restraining Order allowing Washington (and all transgender women) into the shelter. Furthermore, New Hope Ministries has arranged to give its staff transgender sensitivity training (as put on by Transgender Health Empowerment's Earline Budd, and the Mayor's Office of GLBT Affairs), and improve the privacy of its bathroom and shower facilities so that no one will be outed on the basis of their genitalia.
DC Trans Coalition member Andy Bowen, who filed an Office of Human Rights complaint about John L Young in February 2013, will withdraw her complaint, which had just entered the mediation and investigation stage.
"This is a great day for all transgender people," said Washington. "Nobody should have to face discrimination and humiliation, and thanks to this case, homeless transgender people will be now be safer."
"DC has great nondiscrimination laws, but good laws do not equal adequate enforcement," said Bowen. "This case showed the need for more vigilant enforcement, and if DC Trans Coalition has anything to do with it, enforcement's gonna happen."
For more information, contact Andy Bowen at andymbowen [at] gmail [dot] com.
We're coming closer to you!
We wanted to make sure you were aware that we're making a bit of a change to our regular meeting pattern. Hearkening back to our guiding principles, we want to increase our accountability to the communities we serve, expand people's access to our advocacy, and empower new super-awesome activist volunteers. To do that, we're moving our meetings.
We will continue to meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7:30pm, but now we're bringing the meeting to you! On the first Tuesday, we'll meet at Casa Ruby, located at 2822 Georgia Avenue NW. On the third Tuesday, we'll be at Transgender Health Empowerment, 1414 North Capitol Street NW. And if you need a reminder, just keep your eye on the info bar to your right.
In addition to meeting you where you're at, we'll be regularly engaging in activist lunches on Fridays at both Transgender Health Empowerment and Casa Ruby to help people new to grassroots organizing build and share their skills. And from time to time we'll have new volunteer orientation alongside our regular meetings.
We hope to see so many more of your beautiful faces at one of our upcoming meetings!
Now for a few updates:
- You can still participate in our Needs Assessment! Click here to learn how to take the survey or to donate generously of your time or treasure.

- It's time to start planning for the Transgender Day of Remembrance! If you'd like to get involved, there's a meeting tonight at Transgender Health Empowerment at 6:00pm (conveniently right before our first meeting at THE!).
See you soon!
Trans Awareness Week 2011
This week we're raising awareness about trans rights, demanding justice for all trans people, and remembering those we've lost to anti-trans violence. Here's how you can take part:
Tuesday, November 15
DCTC will host its bi-monthly meeting at 7:30pm in the Austin Center at Whitman-Walker Health, 14th & R Streets NW. Get updates on our needs assessment project, our work regarding the police and jails, and help us create our upcoming community forum on December 3 (stay tuned for details). Plus much, much more! Anyone who wants to fight for justice is welcome to attend.
Thursday, November 17
We've teamed up with TLGB Police Watch and a number of other local organizations for Trans Day of Action. Join us at 1:00pm for a rally in front of Metropolitan Police Department Headquarters, 300 Indiana Avenue NW. We'll proceed from there to the US Attorney's Office, at 555 4th Street NW. Check out our goals and demands for the mayor, the police chief, and the US Attorney, and feel free to share details with your friends on Facebook.
Sunday, November 20
Please join us for the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance service, organized by Transgender Health Empowerment, at 5:00pm at the Metropolitan Community Church, 474 Ridge Street NW. We've lost at least two members of our community to violence this year, and many more have been injured. Help us to honor their memories.
Finally, Some Good News: Trans Employment Program Success! (Plus More Updates)
After a brutal summer, we are excited to share some positive results from our collective struggle to improve the lives of trans folks in the District. After talks between trans advocates and D.C. Mayor Gray, 21 trans individuals are participating in Project Empowerment's pilot program to combat transphobic discrimination. NPR has an in-depth look.
DCTC is doing all we can to support the participants and make it a success. We are very excited to be part of this ground-breaking effort to address unemployment in our communities, and we hope the District will continue to fund similar potentially life-saving resources.
In response to the recent string of violence, we've received an unprecedented amount of letters of support in the past few weeks. We are looking forward to a busy fall, so if you're thinking about getting involved now is a great time! We are gearing up for our next semi-annual Community Forum, tentatively scheduled for October 23rd. Here is a bit more news from our active campaigns…
Needs Assessment
- We just passed a major hurdle toward receiving funding so that we can begin Phase Two. Our Needs Assessment Working Group is in the process of designing the paper survey that will soon be distributed. If you'd like to help out, they meet on the second and third Tuesdays of the month. Click here to learn more.
- In case you missed it, be sure to check out the critically important results from our community roundtable discussions at the Phase One Summary Report.
- DCTC members recently attended the first ever meeting of the D.C. Department of Corrections Transgender Advisory Council, a new body meant to increase transparency and community oversight into how the DOC is handling trans inmates. We will have more updates shortly!
- A Corrections officer is currently being investigated for issuing death threats against two trans women. We are following this case closely.
Responding to Violence and Hate Crimes
- DCTC is continuing to work with community members in response to the many recent instances of violence involving trans women and/or motivated by transphobia. Click here, here and here to see media interviews with DCTC members.
- Adding to our fears that the string of murders was motivated by bias, the makeshift memorial to Lashai Mcclean that was left at the site she was murdered (and near where two other trans women were shot weeks later) has been burned.
- The death of Gaurav Gopalan was recently ruled a homicide.
- An arrest was made in the shooting of a trans woman in Southeast.
- We are working with our allies at Transgender Health Empowerment and elsewhere to organize this year's Trans Day of Remembrance and other events around November 20th. If you'd like to help, watch for an announcement about the next TDOR Planning Meeting.
- Members of DCTC have recently attended early meetings with other community organizations who are working to create a new coalition called TLGB Police Watch.
- We maintain regular communication with the Metropolitan Police Department to express our concern about transphobia in MPD. We want to make sure that officers are being properly trained, and we want MPD to take the recent crimes against trans people seriously.
- We are preparing to conduct another round of training for the Gay & Lesbian Liaison Unit.
- We continue to monitor the legal case against Officer Furr, who recently shot at a group of trans people and their friends while off-duty.
Update on This Week's Violence
Earlier in the weekend, at around 6:10am Saturday morning, we were informed by MPD that a body had been discovered at 11th & Fairmont Streets NW in Columbia Heights. According to MPD, the deceased person was believed to be a Latina trans woman. DCTC members arrived at the crime scene within an hour, and received an update from MPD's Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit. Throughout Saturday morning and again later that evening, several Latina trans community members made phone calls and went door to door in Columbia Heights checking on friends and acquaintances and trying to track down anyone who could not be reached. Around 9:00am on Sunday, DCTC member Ruby Corado was presented with a photo of the deceased by MPD homicide detectives, but was unable to make an identification. The case is being investigated as a suspicious death, and the DC medical examiner has been unable to determine a cause of death.
DCTC, Others Meet with Mayor Gray to Discuss Unemployment in Trans Communities
On August 4th, representatives from the DC Trans Coalition, Transgender Health Empowerment, and the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance met with Mayor Vince Gray to discuss barriers to employment for trans people in the District. In a follow-up e-mail, Jeffrey Richardson, head of the DC Office of GLBT Affairs, summed up the Mayor's commitments:
1) The Gray Administration is committed to expand cultural diversity training across District Government with a focus on LGBT and specifically transgender cultural competency.
a. The Mayor has directed DC Department of Human Resources, The Office of Human Rights, and The Office of GLBT Affairs to begin working on the development of a training module that the administration will pilot and make mandatory for all District Government employees upon full implementation. The Mayor has asked for the training module to be in place for implementation planning by October 1, 2011.
2) The Department of Employment Services will run a pilot of their transitional employment program targeting members of the transgender community. The program includes six weeks of training coupled with subsidized paid employment.
a. DOES will have the pilot run of the transitional employment program targeting members of the transgender community ready for implementation by September 5, 2011.
b. The Office of GLBT Affairs will work with DOES to ensure there is community engagement in the development and implementation of the pilot program.
We are excited to see such positive progress, and look forward to holding the Gray Administration accountable to these promises. The groups will reconvene in the future to continue the on-going dialog on how to address barriers to trans employment. We also hope that future discussions will include voices from a broader range of stakeholders.

JOHN STANLEY (Writer) and IRVING TRIPP (Artist)
Like all great "comics for kids," be it Charles Schulz's Peanuts, Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes, or Carl Barks's Scrooge McDuck, these stories by John Stanley and Irving Tripp are legendary for their ability to delight both children and adults alike with their wit, insight, and outright hilarity. Witness two of the medium's masters at the very pinnacle of their talent and skill in these gut-busting stories featuring the smart and sassy, generous and gregarious, absolutely one-of-a-kind eight-year-old Lulu Moppet and her lovable cast of neighborhood troublemakers!

As I've mentioned before, these LULU reprints have been an excellent read at a great price. I have to say that I didn't have much confidence in Dark Horse's ability to make a go of this, and thought we'd be lucky to see two or three books, so getting up to ten volumes in under two years, with no sign of slowing down, well, I'm happy to be proven wrong on something like this.
On the other hand, Dark Horse can't spell "Schulz"...

A free concert from the New Horizons Band will feature popular favorites, patriotic marches, jazz standards and classic concert band literature. The Band of more than 45 amateur musicians is directed by Alex Pendleton who is the Chairman of the Music and Performing Arts Department at D-Y High School. Pendleton has been working weekly with the group of performers in preparation for this performance.
The New Horizons Band of Cape Cod was founded 10 years ago for people who are 50ish and older. The Band is for those who have just started to play an instrument and want to learn in a group setting and for those who used to play but haven't in some time. The ensemble practices year-round and holds three annual concerts in the Spring, Summer and a Holiday Event.
Admission to the concert is free. Non-perishable food items and cash donations are accepted for the Family Pantry of Cape Cod.
