Ok, I admit that I am sitting here watching both parts of the Oprah interview with Lance Armstrong and I really want to turn it off and we don't need to go into the reasons. Yet from my purely clinical, therapist perspective, I am fascinated. This is not meant to be a statement in general about anything surrounding Lance Armstrong. This is only my observations on why his communication patterns don't seem to convey that he has truly, deep down accepted responsibility for his actions, at least some of them. Maybe he has. Regardless, I've got two communication strategies that you can use to help convey responsibility.
First, use the first person. Use your "I statements" as we mental health professionals call it. Don't refer to yourself as "we" or "that guy" or "someone." If you do, you are distancing yourself from that statement and as a consequence from responsibility. Take some examples. He got bullied versus I bullied him. We broke the vase versus I broke the vase. When competing, you want to win versus when competing, I want to win. What ones do you feel convey more responsibility for your thoughts, feelings and actions?
Second, use "and" not "but." I thought about counting how many times Lance Armstrong has said "but" in this interview. I just couldn't keep track. (Side note from my non-therapist self, this could make a good drinking game.) "But" is a word that diminishes and invalidates everything that has come before. "And" is inclusive. It says that you recognize and understand what came before AND have something to add or a different perspective.
So, whether you are accepting responsibility for doping or for stealing a cookie, use your "I statements" and "ands." These should outweigh your "third-person statements" and "buts" and in my perception, they did not in the Lance Armstrong interview, at least regarding certain topics.
"I statements" and "ands" show that you are accepting responsibility and that you recognize and respect, even though maybe not accept, various perceptions and thoughts. And if you feel you are struggling, take a step back and truly evaluate your level of ownership of your behavior.

Hello everyone, today is the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle. I wish I could compose a beautiful post for the feast of such an important saint; however, I have to get ready to serve Holy Mass this evening. So I'm going to leave you all with this beautiful Novena.
It is piously believed that whoever recites the following prayer fifteen times a day from the Feast of St. Andrew to Christmas Eve will obtain their request.
The prayer is:
"Hail and Blessed be the Hour and the moment in which the Son of God was born of the Most Pure Virgin Mary at midnight in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, O my God, to hear my prayer, and grant my desires through the merits of Our Savior, Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother."
+MICHAEL AUGUSTINE, Archbishop of New York
New York, February 6, 1897
Happy Feast of St. Andrew! May Our Lord richly bless you through the intercession of this powerful saint!

Playboy is about more than just pretty girls shedding their clothes and the men's magazine is definitely about more than the articles. Playboy is about bringing bitter rivals together.
Just ask UC Berkeley student Ophelia Shallot, who has experienced Playboy's healing powers first hand. The English and philosophy major is one of the magazine's newest models and has a new best friend from her school's bitter rival.
Shallot and Stanford student Kristen Elizabeth Gura posed nude for Playboy's annual issue featuring "the hottest college girls," which hits newsstands Friday. Think of Gura as Shallot's Capulet.
"My immediate thought upon seeing (Gura) was 'Holy cow,'" Shallot said. "I had no idea they had girls this gorgeous at (grimace) Stanford!"
Playboy's October issue has featured a college pictorial for the last 34 years but every year the magazine rotates conferences. This year Playboy photographers shot "The Girls of the PAC 10" for the first time since 2005.
Ahead of Friday's release of the magazine, Shallot took a few moments to talk about why she decided to pose for the magazine, what it means to represent her school in the buff and how she became friends with a Stanford student.
1) Where did you grow up and what are you studying at UC Berkeley? What do you hope to do after graduating?
I grew up all over the place, but I spent my childhood in Sonoma and Marin and most of my formative years in the great state of Montana. I moved back to California the last semester of my senior year of high school. I guess you could say I went from one cultural extreme to another!
I am studying English and Philosophy at UC Berkeley. I am just getting ready to apply to Grad school to get my MFA in Creative Writing. Hopefully I will publish some poetry and short stories. I have this grandiose plan of ghost writing memoirs for people who have survived trauma, such as rape, molestation, war, alcoholism, drug addiction, parental abuse or neglect, etc, and come out of it to do positive, amazing things.
I was considered an "at risk" youth due to my father being ill and dying from Lou Gehrig's Disease, and my mother's bipolar disorder and alcoholism, among other things. The only reason I am alive and well today is because of Mitch Albom's touching book about Lou Gehrig's disease entitled "Tuesdays with Morrie," which made dealing with my dad's death far less lonely. Similar to how "Tuesdays with Morrie" was so helpful to me, I hope that the books I write will not only provide a cathartic release for those who get to tell their story, but a similar point of relation and hope for those out there who are going through similar struggles.
After I have established myself as an author, I hope to go back to school and get my Masters in English Literature, and maybe, someday, my PhD. Because literature has helped me survive by giving me hope in my dark times, I would like to profess at the University level, whether it be in Creative Writing or Literature, so that I can share this gift with others.
2) Why Playboy? How did you first hear about the opportunity to pose in the magazine and what was the process before you were chosen?
It's an interesting story, actually. In my free time I sometimes find modeling enjoyable, and a childhood friend who I am friends with on Facebook also happens to do some modeling. I was perusing some pictures of her work and thought that they were absolutely beautiful, and since the photographer who shot them was tagged in the picture, I friend requested him for networking purposes.
The next day, I was surprised to receive a message from him saying that he noticed I went to UC Berkeley, and asked if I was interested in representing Berkeley in the Girls of the Pac 10 Issue. I was like 'WHAT are you serious?" and was a bit incredulous at first, but after Googling his name, and speaking to my friend who had modeled for him, I found out that he was legit!
So I asked him how soon this would be taking place, and he said he would be in my area in the next 2 days! YIKES! I immediately called my boyfriend and asked his permission as a sign of respect, and he said "Of course!" So I emailed the photographer and told him "I'm in."
Two days later, I went to the shoot. I was not sure what to expect from Playboy, but the photographer and his assistant were extremely professional. He told me I could take off as much clothing as I felt comfortable with. Well, as anyone who knows me will attest to, I am not shy! I think I may have surprised the fellow with the speed at which I dropped my clothes.
The test shoot was over before it started, and then I walked out the door into a waiting room stuffed full of hopeful Berkeley Girls of the Pac 10 prospects. They all were so beautiful, I felt dismayed. I was sure that they were prettier than me and that I didn't stand a chance. However, I still felt honored that the photographer had thought me beautiful enough to participate in the tryout shoot.
But, surprise, surprise! I got a call three days later telling me that I was picked to represent UC Berkeley in Girls of the Pac 10, and that we would be shooting again, for real this time. I had a blast getting glammed up and posing in the beautiful, unique bathroom they have there. Clumsy as I am, I even managed to slip and nearly fell off the sink I was standing on. Dear me!
Then, a few weeks after that shoot, I received another call from Playboy inviting me to fly out to Chicago to do yet another shoot. When I was told that I would be on the same flight with, same hotel with, and shooting with the girl representing Stanford, I bristled with indignity. Stanford? Really?
I didn't see her on my flight there, but once we arrived in the Chicago airport it was inevitable we would meet as we waited for the car which was taking us to our hotel.
My immediate thought upon seeing her was Holy cow, I had no idea they had girls this gorgeous at (grimace) Stanford! After chatting with her on the ride to the hotel, and spending the night with her, working out with her, eating with her, laughing with her, and shooting with her, I am loathe to admit that I made best friends with a Stanford student. Now, before Berkeley folks get all riled up and start calling me a traitor, make sure you look at the photos of us posing together online when they come out. You will see that I represented Berkeley well. Wink!
3) What was your thought process deciding to go forward and pose for the magazine? Did you talk to classmates, your significant other, your family? Did you, or them have any reservations? What does it mean to you to be in the magazine and are you nervous at all about Friday's release?
My thought process went something like this: excitement, possibilities, incredulity, caution, research, consorting with friends, affirmation, decision, return of/full force explosion of excitement. As I mentioned above, I spoke to my boyfriend, and also one of my best friends. They both were extremely supportive. I had some reservations at first.
However, girls featured in Playboy have historically gone on to very successful careers. I've never heard of anyone being rejected from a job because they posed for Playboy - in fact, quite the opposite. People recognize that Playboy is the classiest, most sophisticated magazine of its kind, and arguably the only one of its kind, on the market. No other "similar" magazine (and I use similar very loosely here) can boast such high standards Playboy carries for its models.
I am lucky enough to be friends with several Playboy models besides Kristen Elizabeth Gura (Stanford representative), and I can definitively say that they are the sweetest, strongest, most intelligent and powerful women I know. Thus, I am confident that my choice to be in Playboy was a good one.
That being said, I am a little bit nervous for the release of Playboy on Friday, only because I know that all of my friends will be waiting patiently at their local newsstands, as they have intimated to me frequently in the last couple of days. I feel a little bit awkward at the thought that everyone and their mother will look at me and know what I look like naked. However, it is also empowering - I have nothing to be ashamed of, I work hard for the body I have. I am proud to know that I am representing a very special side of UC Berkeley, proving that nerds can be sexy too!
4) What does it mean to be chosen as one of the Girls of the Pac-10? Do you plan to do anything special with your copy?
For me, to be chosen as one of the Girls of the Pac 10 means that I am representing the best public university in the United States in the best magazine in the world. I have the entire collection of Playboy magazines from issue 1 until present,( which I inherited from my grandfather interestingly enough), and I plan to add my magazine to that collection. I am thrilled that I get to join a collection of beautiful bodies and souls which includes such greats as Marilyn Monroe and Pamela Anderson.
5) Berkeley is known as a pretty liberal, politically correct campus, what do you anticipate the reaction will be from your classmates? From feminists on campus? Do you think classmates will treat you differently when you walk into class Monday?
My classmates do not seem the type to purchase Playboy, but I'm not going to make any assumptions! I don't feel as if my classmates will treat me much differently. I have already had experiences with some of what might be called "feminists" on campus, questioning the way I dress or why I elected to get breast implants. However, I feel that Berkeley students are the best and brightest in the world, and that any questions they have are merely in pursuit of knowledge.
I love to hear different views on issues, and I love a friendly debate. I feel as if Berkeley is very unique in that diversity is embraced and valued above all else. I have friends who are in the military, going to Berkeley on their GI Bill, who are best friends with those most vehemently against the military.
They are able to express their views in a mature and eloquent manner, without resulting to name calling, violence, or other forms of immaturity. Thus, I feel that any difference in epistemology will be dealt with in a manner befitting the aptitude for tolerance found at Berkeley.
If you want to see Shallot and Gura in all their glory, you will just have to buy the magazine, which we hear is filled with several great articles.

From The Register-Mail:
Nick Vasquez said it was like hitting an iceberg in the face.
Others used simple terms: cold, frigid and shocking. But regardless of how it was described, the ninth annual Polar Plunge lived up to it's name with temperatures in the 30s and snow and ice still covering Lake Storey Beach on Sunday.
Wintry conditions didn't keep the participants away, however, as the plunge continued to raise a record amount of money to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.
In all, 270 plungers from roughly 25 teams raised $41,621.47, a figure that exceeds this year's goal of $36,000…
…Some of the most active members of the community on Sunday were Knox College students. The college was represented in droves as fraternities and sororities raised funds and took the plunge.
A regular for the past five years, fraternity Beta Theta Pi had one of the strongest showings on Sunday with roughly 30 students taking the dive almost all at once. Nothing, they said, could prepare them for the icy waters.
"You can say, 'it's so bad,' but you're not ready for that initial shock,†said student Dan Page.
To help raise money, the group bagged groceries, set up tables at school and collected money online. A total of $2,719.30 was raised for charity.
While they were happy to raise money for a good cause, the group also was relieved when it was over.
"That was the best shower I've ever had,†said student Mike Youkhana.
Out-raising the fraternity by a few hundred dollars was sorority Alpha Sigma Alpha, who brought in $2,911.46. Several donors, they said, contributed in anticipation of seeing photos of them freezing in the frigid lake.

How to make an email great from the ground up
When it's time to make an email — especially an email newsletter — people often dive right into the content. But what if you took a more thoughtful, strategic approach?
Instead of:
Content → Subject Line
What if you tried:
Goal → Subject Line → Outline → Content
What if you did? Give it a shot and see what happens!
1. In order to make an email, first define your goal.
Design every single email, whether it's an autoresponder or a newsletter, to meet a specific, measurable goal that maps to your bigger-picture goals as a business.
So, let's say that your business or organization wants to:
- double its sales of gluten-free cookies this year, or
- book 20 new portrait clients, or
- surpass last year's attendance at your annual conference, or
- raise $75,000 at your charity auction, or
- [insert your primary objective here].
Question: What email marketing goals might support that big-picture goal?
For example, you might set email marketing goals around how many readers:
- click through to your gluten-free cookie product pages, or
- view the portrait section of your online photography gallery, or
- share your save-the-date email on social media, or
- click through to a blog post about a child who will benefit from your fundraiser, or
- [insert your own brilliant marketing email goal here].
All of these things get your readers — and, if you're lucky, their friends — thinking about what you have to offer.
Write down the primary marketing goal before you make an email. The goal for each successive email can be slightly different, as long as each email somehow supports your big-picture goal.
2. Write a great email subject line.
This may be a radical idea, but why not try writing the subject line before you write the email? You'll be crystal-clear on the purpose of the email when you sit down to write it.
You have your primary goal for the email in mind. Now tell your readers what they'll learn. Maybe even how they'll feel, or what they'll want to do.
Make it sound irresistible (but not too-good-to-be-true). AVOID MAKING IT TOO EXCITING IN AN ALL-CAPS-AND-EMPTY-PROMISES-KINDA-WAY!!!!!!!
Check out these great tips for writing marketing email subject lines.
3. Draft an outline.
With the primary goal of your marketing email top of mind, brainstorm some potential content that could have the desired effect. When you make an email content planning is critical.
Questions to ask yourself:
- What do you want your readers to learn, feel, or do?
- What kind of content have they responded to in the past? Check your email stats.
- How might you improve your readers' day?
- How can you accomplish your goal as simply as possible?
If you're coming up short on ideas, check out 33 Email Newsletter Topics You Can Use Right Now.
4. Create a lovely, goal-oriented marketing email.
You have a goal for your email, a solid subject line, and a content outline. Now it's time to fill in the blanks. Here are a few tips:
- Keep your design as clean as possible.
- Get to the point quickly.
- Put your primary call-to-action (with link) toward the top.
- Give your email a little personality.
Knowledge to keep
After you send your email, use your email analytics — and perhaps your web analytics — to see whether you accomplished your primary goal.
Consider whether it makes sense to create a follow-up email for people either did (or did not) take the desired action. You could create a new list for these people and provide more targeted content to help you reach your big-picture goal.
The bottom line: Be intentional about setting goals for every single email you send. Continue to experiment with — and measure — what works best for your specific audience. Email marketing should be iterative, so make an email right now and engage with your customers!

Introducing eco-model Ariel Clay in NYC
Shopping for a winter coat has definitely been on my mind these past few weeks, particularly after New York City's brief and unexpected Halloween snowstorm. As a native Californian and newcomer to New York, I have been on a mission to find something warm yet also uniquely stylish. And as a shopper who seeks out eco-friendly wardrobe options, I was thrilled to learn more about Feral Childe's Fall/Winter 2011 collection during this past weekend's trunk show at Kaight Brooklyn.
Unique hand drawing / print by Feral Childe for F/W 2011
Feral Childe, the creative endeavor of Moriah Carlson and Alice Wu, is a sustainable fashion line that sources the finest eco materials and while also doing all of their production locally in New York City. Their Fall/Winter 2011 collection is based on the theme, 'Orchestra' (each season has a specific theme), and this latest collection celebrates chic easy to wear dresses, tops, jackets, and pants. I particularly fell in love with their cozy fleece jackets and wool coats, though.
Ariel Clay and Moriah Carlson at Kaight Brooklyn
I know that these coats would keep me warm and stylish all winter long.
I love the belted ties on the long coat and tuxedo tailoring on the jacket.
Stay tuned for more of Ariel's reports from NYC.

So that's all for our evening. I tried not to make it sound more dramatic than it actually was (trust me this is already my best effort to tone down after a few renditions), but the series of (somewhat) unfortunate events did taint one much-anticipated meal which promised so much but came up *a bit* short. Of course taking account this is a brand-new restaurant project there's always the hope they will strive through after sorting out some initial "teething" issues, but then to us, our experience this evening definitely left a mark in our mind that would be hard to get rid of, just like the way wine stain left on the fabric.
When? August 31 2017
Where? 11 Westside, First Floor, The Hudson, 11 Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong
Menu Highlights? Guac Tableside, if I must name one, but I guess there were way more "lowlights" this time.

For those that are interested, I am still in love with my Sirius Radio, and in particular most of the programming on the NASCAR channel 128. I work retail, and manage multiple stores, which means I am on the road a bunch, going from store to store. This radio and the NASCAR channel are my sanity-savers, providing me with entertainment to survive the traffic jams.
During today's drive, I heard once again another fan call in, and declare "NASCAR is ignoring their roots, and the fans who made them!" I shook my head, pulled into a parking place and headed into work. Within the hour, I had a SHAZZAM moment!
Our company recently changed our merchandise and our selling strategy. Some of our customers arrived in our stores expecting to find the same merchandise they had found for the last 20 years. Many customer have embraced our change, but other have been shocked, dismayed and one declared "Your company has ignored the people who made them!" Wow....SHAZZAM! DEJA VU!
NASCAR has been doing something that all SUCCESSFUL businesses do. They constantly perform 'gut-checks' to see how they measure up. Are they reaching their audiences? Are they saturating their customer base? Are they working towards the future?
And that last question is indeed the most important question.
The NASCAR fans who attended North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, and the original Southern 500 at Darlington, for some reason, stopped attending those races. The attendance was falling every year. Indeed, the warning signs were there. Even when the ax was hanging over the heads of those tracks, the fans still did not fill the stands.
NASCAR traditionalists LOVE picking on Fontana's two races. Yet even with the appearance of lowered attendance, the stands had more fans parked in the seats than at any of the above tracks on their best days.
NASCAR has also tried to move with the times. The Championship race is boring? Well then, let's make it into a CHASE. Fans complain of a lack of passing at the 1.5 mile tracks? Gee, the COT may help that.
FACE IT! If a business does not change with the times, it will die. The customers in my retail store were content and happy to show up for the holidays, but were not there every day, or every week. Our business model changed and while we have upset some of the previous customer base, we have created new customers. Will we make bad decisions? Yes! But we would have tumbled into oblivion if we had not changed. We would have died as a business.
The harsh reality? You MUST continually build your business. Living in the past will put your business into the grave, along with your aging fan (customer) base. Change is necessary. There may be failures, but the greatest crime is to fail to try.
One other side to the argument is that NASCAR is not successful with it's changes. I really don't believe that. While the 'ratings' are going down, NASCAR is still the highest rated sport on most weekends. They are still switching and playing and tweaking to create more interest, and to build the fan base for the future.
Is NASCAR making mistakes with those changes? Oh, yes, they are! But are they sitting on their collective butts just waiting for the former fan base to come wandering in...no!
However, I do understand the yearning for the good old days. I remember my first calculator...and am saddened that this danged newfangled computer is messing up my life. Dang, I long for the old Texas Intruments doodad that cost me $160 bucks. Or the TRS-80 Model 1 computer with 4K of memory! Or, I could go searching for the ten minute blurb of the NASCAR race mixed in with the rest of the Wide World of Sports. Well, TV has obviously forgotten its roots if it shows the whole race! Then again, we could go back to transistor radios, black and white television or even refrigerators that were really iceboxes. Yoicks!
Wait, the $160 TI calculator and the TRS-80 are long gone. Would any of this blog's readers REALLY want to go back to those days?
Neither would NASCAR.

{Spotlight & Giveaway} Wish by Grier Cooper
For Indigo Stevens, ballet classes at Miss Roberta's ballet studio offer the stability and structure that are missing from her crazy home life. At almost 16, she hopes this is the year she will be accepted into the New York School of Ballet. First she must prove she's ready, and that means ignoring Jesse Sanders – the cute boy with dimples who is definitely at the top of Miss Roberta's List of Forbidden Things for Dancers.
But Jesse is the least of Indigo's concerns. When she discovers her mom is an alcoholic, it simultaneously explains everything and heaps more worry on Indigo's shoulders. As her mom's behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Indigo fights to maintain balance, protect her younger brothers from abuse, and keep her mother from going over the edge. When the violence at home escalates, Indigo realizes she can no longer dance around the issue. At the risk of losing everything, she must take matters into her own hands before it's too late.

How to Safe Boot into Safe Mode
If you're having difficulty starting your Mac running OS X Mountain Lion, booting your Mac in Safe Mode might help you resolve your startup issue by not loading nonessential (and non–OS X) software at boot time. You do it by holding down the Shift key during startup.
If your Mac is set up so you don't have to log in, keep pressing the Shift key until the Finder loads completely. If you do log in to your Mac, type your password as usual, but before clicking the Log In button, press the Shift key again and hold it until the Finder loads completely.
You know you held the Shift key long enough if your Login Items don't load (assuming that you have Login Items; you can designate them in the Users & Groups System Preferences pane, although some programs create them for you).
Booting in Safe Mode does three things to help you with troubleshooting:
It forces a directory check of the startup (boot) volume.
It loads only required kernel extensions (some of the items in /System/Library/Extensions).
It runs only Apple-installed essential startup items (some of the items in /Library/StartupItems and /System/Library/StartupItems). Note that the startup items in the Library folders are different from the Login Items in the Users & Groups System Preferences pane.
Taken together, these changes often work around issues caused by software or directory damage on the startup volume.
Some features don't work in Safe Mode. Among them are DVD Player, capturing video (in iMovie or other video-editing software), using an AirPort card, using some audio input or output devices, or using a USB modem. Use Safe Mode only if you need to troubleshoot a startup issue.
If your Mac boots in Safe Mode, you might be able to determine what's causing the issue by moving the contents of your Preferences folder (in Home/Library, which you can make visible by pressing the Option key when opening the Go menu) to the Desktop temporarily or by disabling Login Items (in the Users & Groups System Preferences pane).
If either of these things resolves the issue, you can put preferences files back in Home/Library/Preferences a few at a time, or you can re-enable login items one at a time until you figure out which preferences file or login item is causing your problems.

How to stay sustainable with paper products
Have you thought about how sustainable your paper home products are? While the use of single-use plastics has (rightfully) been criticized, some products are made to be single-use - like toilet paper, paper towels, and napkins. With these products, it's best to examine sustainability by looking at what goes into their production.

Planning for Summer... and Smoke
By Emile Amarotico, General Manager
If we are lucky, we'll only have another seven week smoke intrusion this summer. If we are not, we could be the next Paradise. In less than 13 hours, last November's Camp Fire wiped out nearly 19,000 structures and more than 80 lives. With community help, we were able to raise over $14,000 to support Chico Natural Foods Co-op's efforts to feed some of the nearly 20,000 displaced Paradise residents.
The Co-op's "Secret Garden"
Did you know the Co-op employees have a small garden on our campus? Planning and management falls on our fantastic Co-op volunteer: Henry Herting.
Below, Henry shares some background on the garden, what it's used for, and some additional tales from over the years.
Originally, the need for a kitchen garden arose from having a kitchen classroom in which culinary classes were being held. Visiting chefs have always been invited to use the garden for any ingredients they may have forgotten or items they could use as garnish for their dishes.

Food waste at the Co-op
By Rianna Koppel, Sustainability Coordinator
How many times in the past month have you reached back in the fridge to snack on some fresh strawberries only to discover… mold?! In the United States, 40% of food is wasted every year. Luckily, how we address food waste can have a major impact. According to Paul Hawkin's Drawdown, reducing food waste is #3 on the list of best ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. At the Co-op, we use the EPA's Food Recovery Hierarchy as a guide to bettering our own practices.

"Absolutely the best! Honest, fair, respectable company. My old used car had a cracked engine block rather than tell me they could fix it, which they did, they also said it would not have been worth it. That it was on its last leg. Sure enough, a few weeks/ months later the cars transmission, radiator and other major parts of the car started to show issues. They could have replaced my engine, then all the other parts but knew it was best to shoot straight. I purchased a new Suburban, have peace of mind now and will continue to take my new car to Sanders. Been going there for 14 years and haven't regretted it not once"
~ Roxanne V. / La Verne, CA (Yelp Review)
"My "new" 1990 Toyota Supra broke down on the 210 and luckily, the tow truck driver suggested he take it to Sanders rather than the place AAA suggested in Pomona. The fan was broken, and the girl in the office managed to find a replacement fan in Ontario, even though the actual fan is obsolete and no dealers or auto parts places locally had it. She is a miracle worker. They diagnosed the work and got the car back to me the same day–and it also needed a water pump. I live in Alta Loma but will be going to Sanders from now on. They are super nice, their prices are good, and they go the extra mile to make the customer really satisfied. A++"
~ Pam A. / Alta Loma, CA (Yelp Review)
"Sanders Automotive is an old fashioned honest hardworking family that will give you fast service at a reasonable price and the customer service can't be beat here your a valued customer not a number I recommend them to all =)"
~ Debra W. / Yucaipa, CA (Yelp Review)
"I have to say that I'm extremely pleased with their service. I had a cooling system issue, Tony focused only on the issue. Made a suggestion but didn't try to pressure me into fixing anything else. Took the car in around noon and had it ready by 5:30. I will def. be going back. Especially since I am new to the San Dimas area. I was a bit worried. Nonetheless thank you!"

Students must wear their Ninja Uniform to each class! The uniform package can be purchased online or at TNT Gymnastics on site. (Ninja T-Shirt and Wrist bands).

Each portion of the obstacle courses also includes corresponding conditioning and flexibility stations. The desired result of this program is to improve children's strength, flexibility and all-around athleticism.The kids will also learn to tumble, climb, and roll in and out of their skills vs the traditional goal of gymnastics working towards "stuck" landings. This is a fantastics class option for a child who is constantly on the move and likes to stay actively moving!

Liberals like to believe that tax and regulation policies have no effect on the economy despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. The latest proof of this comes via the Tax Foundation which calculated that millions of Americans are leaving high-tax areas like New York or California in favor of lower-tax jurisdictions like Texas or Florida. As a result, the tax-happy states are missing out on billions of dollars in revenues they might have been able to have otherwise had their residents stayed put:
New York State accounted for the biggest migration exodus of any state in the nation between 2000 and 2010, with 3.4 million residents leaving over that period, according to the Tax Foundation.
Over that decade the state gained 2.1 million, so net migration amounted to 1.3 million, representing a loss of $45.6 billion in income.
Where are they escaping to? The Tax Foundation found that more than 600,000 New York residents moved to Florida over the decade – opting perhaps for the Sunshine State's more lenient tax system – taking nearly $20 billion in adjusted growth income with them.
Over that same time period, 208,794 Pennsylvanians moved to Florida, taking $8 billion in income.
"Many of these New York and Pennsylvania residents no doubt moved to Florida for the warm weather," says the foundation, a nonpartisan research group. "[B]ut many more may have moved there because the state does not have an individual income tax, an estate tax, nor an inheritance tax." [...]
California is also known for more onerous taxes and regulations, and the foundation shows similar trends of migration from there to other states like Texas and Arizona.
The Tax Foundation ranked the Golden State sixth highest in the nation for state and local tax burden in 2009.
Between 2000 and 2010, the most recent data available, 551,914 people left California for Texas, taking $14.3 billion in income. Texas has no state income tax or estate tax.
A total of 48,877 people moved to Texas from California between 2009 and 2010 alone, totaling $1.2 billion in income. Another 28,088 from California relocated to Nevada and 30,663 to Arizona, a loss of $699.1 million and $707.8 million in income respectively.

29 Apr Dividing the debt on divorce in California
Kathy Kristof's recent feature on protecting yourself from the debt of a failed marriage addressed well the problem of joint debts. Where the creditor can pursue either party for payment, informal divisions of the debt that don't involve the creditor have risks to the other spouse. If, despite your agreement, your ex doesn't pay, your credit takes a hit.
It's a common misconception that California's community property system of marital property makes both spouses personally liable for the community debts. Not so. The community property is liable for the debts of either spouse. But a creditor with a community claim can collect from 1) the person who incurred the debt and 2) from the community property. The spouse who did not incur the debt is not liable for that debt after the marriage, unless a family law judge orders it.
Often these days, the community claims stand lop sidedly in the name of just one spouse. So, although the debt is a debt of the marriage, the spouse whose name is not on the credit card has no personal exposure to the creditor.
Under California's Family Code, a judgment of divorce can create personal liability in one spouse where none existed before to achieve an equal division of the debts. That liability can be enforced by the creditor, even if the creditor was not joined as a party to the divorce.
So, if you are splitting the sheets, consider how to split the plastic so the debt burden is fairly divided as well. Agreements between the former spouses don't bind the creditor.

AIIMS doctor deposes before Pipili probe panel
Cuttack: Sticking to the earlier stand of visiting AIIMS team which examined the Pipili victim in January 2012, an additional professor of the premier hospital today told Justice P K Mohanty Commission that no advance medical technology is available to give an opinion whether the victim was raped after two months of the incident.
Additional Professor of FMT department of Delhi AIIMS Sanjiv Lalwani today deposed before Justice P K Mohanty Commission of Enquiry which is probing into the sensational Pipili gang rape and murder case of 2011-12.
A four-member team of doctors from New Delhi had examined the girl in Cuttack hospital on January 29, 2012, two months after she was allegedly gang raped in her native village in Pipili on November 28, 2011.
Subsequently, the state crime branch police filed a charge sheet in the case expressing inability to substantiate the allegation of rape mainly because the victim was unable to give any statement because she had slipped into coma ever since she was allegedly gang raped. Remaining in that state, the victim died in June 2012.
Lalwani, however, categorically told the Commission that the anti venom serum that was injected to the victim at Capital Hospital in Bhubaneswar, where she was initially taken for treatment, may not be the reason for pushing the victim to comatose state.
The Commission would hold its next sitting on September 27 and has directed SCB medical College and Hospital authorities here to submit the medico-legal case (MLC) dispatch register of the Hospital, which would be vetted to look into the allegations levelled against Mangalabag police, under whose jurisdiction the Hospital comes.
Meanwhile, in a reply to the Commission on the day, the State Government informed that it has no objection if the Commission obtains the call detail records (CDRs) of the former police inspector of Pipili PS Amulya Kumar Champatiray from the telephone service provider.

As NewsBusters reported Saturday, former ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson told the Huffington Post, "Many on the political right believe this president [Barack Obama] ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices [sic] and political view but for who he is, an African American! These people and perhaps even certain news organizations (certainly the right wing talkers like Limbaugh) encourage disrespect for this president."
Limbaugh responded to this nonsense by email moments ago:
"Sam's premise, sadly, is ignorant, simplistic, clichéd, predictable and wrong. The President's ideas are what I oppose, not his skin color, which I couldn't care less about. He's the President of the United States and his race does not inoculate or immunize him from substantive critique."
We couldn't have said it any better.
If only media members such as Donaldson would understand this tremendously basic concept about politics in America today.
It's not about race. It's about policies and ideas.
Only the Left and their media minions are fixated on the color of Obama's skin.
Thanks for clearing that up for us, Rush.

Whilst it is extensively claimed that Larry DiMarzio was the primary to supply third celebration replacement guitar pickups prepared made, in actual fact, guitarist and tech innovator Bill Lawrence has that honour. Steve nailed it. I'm an plane mechanic, and have driven each form of truck there is. They are have their good points and bad points. Here are the issues that I did to get higher gas mileage from my full sized Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup. Cargo capacity and tow ratings are as important as ever, however creature comforts now seize a truck buyer's attention as properly. From where I was standing, I had a clear view of the again of the truck and its contents. From large grille, hood, and fender areas, to built-in tool containers and steps, these should not your father's pickup vehicles!
Although added weight may not be an MPG improver , with many vehicles, a bit of weight in the mattress or on the hitch could make the front finish stick up within the air. Custom truck bumpers serve loads of completely different functions, the greatest of which is protection for the entrance of the truck. What I think about to be some of the vital differences between a Stratocaster and a Les Paul is in the pickup configuration.
Say for example you want all of your pickup orders added to your Google Calendar – no problem. You might have to raise the truck to get sufficient angle to clear the core assist with the engine. At the end of the flip wherein one other Pokémon used a one-time use merchandise (together with throwing an merchandise with Fling or utilizing Natural Gift ), a Pokémon with Pickup will acquire the merchandise if they don't seem to be holding anything. Once you come to an agreement with the buyer on the price, resolve how the sale is going to happen.
You can get a big enclosed trailer and begin moving furnishings, a automotive trailer to start towing cars/trucks and even a dump trailer to choose up stone and landscaping materials. I changed the unique one with a new one ran good for some time but appears when the truck has been running for 30 or forty minutes the relay switch stops working. The typical relay drawback is that the truck runs for 10 or 15 minutes, then shuts off. Thankfully, there are charities that can decide up furniture donations so that you don't have to fret about transferring them. These equipment aren't simply window dressings; they work as exhausting as your truck.
So with that, our pricey, over-used, worn-out, choose-up traces of the 70's, we stated a fond farewell. Which usually belonged to a counselor, since a lot of the campers hadn't developed sufficient to put on bras that have been way more than double-A's. With the Schedule a Pickup device, you possibly can rapidly and easily schedule a FedEx® pickup of your shipments. The bottom line is, you by no means know what the circumstances may be. Don't be afraid to pick up the telephone.

Elk Hides
Posted in Natural Lifestyle/Sustainable Living, Wildlife, tagged Brain Tanning, Buckskin, Elk on January 4, 2011| Leave a Comment »
In the fall, during the Elk hunting season, I collect unwanted hides. Often times the hunters leave them in the forest. I put the word out and the hides show up. I use the dry scape and traditional brain tan method to make beautiful soft buckskin. It can be used for anything you would use soft leather or suede for. Here are a couple bags I made during the cold snowy months last winter. Kiva and I sat near the woodstove, listened to stories on CD's and beaded these designs.
I didn't take any new hides this year as I am still scraping a large bull elk and a deer hide from last winter. I use the antlers for buttons and beads. Pics to come~

We all know Installous was one of the most important sources that offered a huge number of applications. The huge database was completely free and even had cracked applications. Installous became hugely popular among iOS users due to this.
But with Installous taken down, you might be looking out for alternatives. And one of the most popular alternatives is AppCake. If you have already jailbroken your device then it is alright, but we understand that a lot of people do not want to jailbreak their devices.
We do not promote jailbreaking. Though this post, we are going to help you in installing AppCake on your device. Let's start:

I am so sorry to hear that Lonely heart. God speed.
Are you looking for your perfect soulmate and that perfect relationship? If so we may have some news for you!
If you're like me, you can't stand those dating site commercials featuring "couples" who talk about what it feels like to have finally found their soulmates. They tout every common misconception about relationships known to humankind, including "He's perfect," "It's just so easy," "We do everything together," and "She's my missing puzzle piece." When I was single I thought I needed to feel the same way about someone in order to consider them a soulmate. Now that I am married to my soulmate, I realize these commercials are trying to sell a fantasy. Are you caught up in a romantic fantasy? Psychic Vega ext. 5485 has the dose of reality you're looking for!
The perfect soulmate connection doesn't exist, so stop looking for it. I know it's something you've waited for all your life, and once you find it, you think everything will be perfect after that. Well, it won't be. Vega knows the truth about soulmate relationships. Here's a list of six truths she wants you to remember while you're dreaming of or sharing your life with "the one." Get more personalized advice by contacting a psychic today!
1. He isn't your "knight in shining armor."
Vega says "The biggest misconception about soulmate relationships is that people think they're meeting their knight in shining armor. But that's not really what happens." What really happens is that a soulmate comes into your life to help you grow and to teach you a lesson. They're not here to rescue or fix you. You still have to do all the work. How would you like to be taxed with rescuing someone? And how do you think it makes the person who "needs to be rescued" feel? If you're not willing to be someone else's "knight in shining armor," why should someone be yours?
2. You're still going to fight.
Soulmates fight all the time. You don't automatically stop fighting once you realize you're each other's soulmate. Jobs get lost, parents die, and there are infidelities. Yes, there's still plenty to fight over in Soulmate Land. Vega shares, "There are still going to be struggles and there will be obstacles. People want to know why it doesn't go smoothly. It's not supposed to." Fights are a part of any relationship, whether you're with your soulmate or not. Are they just a fling or is there potential for a deep, soul connection? Vega knows.
3. You have to put up with a lot of crap.
Your threshold for emotional pain and suffering could be much higher if you think you've met your soulmate. Vega explains, "They might be your soulmate, but if they're not in a good spot, you're going to have to go through a lot just to be with them. And you'll do it because you believe they're your soulmate." Perhaps you'll see this kind of pain and suffering as a test of your commitment to one another. If you believe someone is your soulmate, you'll be more willing to "walk through fire" for them.
4. It could be easy to lose yourself.
This truth goes along with the previous one. If your soulmate has a lot of issues or problems, and you are there to support them, it's pretty easy to lose your sense of self. This is especially true for women. Vega relates, "Women will give up so much if they think they are with their soulmate." Sure, it's important to support your soulmate when they are going through a difficult time, but you shouldn't support them to the point where you put your life on hold until they get theirs together.
5. You still need to set healthy boundaries.
Whether your relationship is six months or six years old, you need to set healthy boundaries with your soulmate. Vega explains, "Women make it so easy on men. They get stuck in the trap of 'he is my soulmate, so I am going to let him do what he wants.' If you set boundaries, you help the other person grow. You are setting expectations for the other person to meet. You have to say that you are not okay with something. Don't make it too comfortable." Even if you're with a great person, setting boundaries is a way to show you respect yourself. If your partner respects your boundaries, then they respect you too.
6. They (or you) might not stick around.
Soulmate relationships aren't always meant to last forever, especially if you're willing to overlook a lot of the things your partner does that hurt you. You may overlook these things, but the hurt is still there, and that's going to fester for only so long before you explode. The same thing could happen if your partner overlooks a lot of the things you do. You could begin to resent each other and "You may need to go away for a while. The connection may still be there, but you need a timeout," says Vega. The timeout could be temporary or permanent. A soulmate relationship could be a toxic relationship. Not sure if your romance is toxic? Vega knows what to look for.
Even the best relationships aren't supposed to be perfect, but this article isn't meant to depress you. It's meant to be a strong dose of reality that we all need from time to time. You can have the greatest love of your life and still struggle. You won't be happy all the time, but that's okay. And you have to remember to protect yourself, your needs and your independence. If you need another dose of straightforward reality, give Vega a call. She's got something you need to hear.
I am so sorry to hear that Lonely heart. God speed.
Absolutely great!!! I looping this article cause I m sure I'm not the only one in love-woman, that thought that soulmates means" happily ever after" pink color " "and never ever have a fight cause he is your soulmate" or talking like astrologer " couple made in heaven" we still fight and disagree, and have rules and limits!! It is so healthy!! And the greatest thing, we're still in love and willing to move forward and face whatever is coming I'm our way!!! Someone says that love means" love your partner the way you love yourself!! Or when you're in love you should feel the pain of the other"!! I think it's extremely sweet and true!!! ?
I was lucky to meet my soulmate at a young age- I was 17, the years we spent together left me with many happy memories- but in this life we couldn't stay together- I married a man who feels I am his soulmate- but I feel sometimes he needs me far more than I do him- and I know in this life he has not been treated as well as he should have been by his mother which has given him very low self esteem- which I am working on- and now he is actually trying to follow his dreams, we have a son now 20, who is very talented and we are helping him be the best he can be too
Great article and so encouraging that I am already on this thought path. Sometimes I am careful what I tell people how and what I think. And then I read an article like this and feel encouraged that I am learning and growing in the right direction, I told a recent girlfriend that I am grateful for our time together, and the lessons we learned from out time, she was taken aback and spent a few weeks thinking about it before she responded to my email. The email had the desired effect, and hopefuly she will understand as she grows and develops spiritually.
I miss my soulmate so much. The coolest thing is that he told everyone that I was his soulmate also. He was a bachelor that was never married and no kids, and I had two failed marriages. God had other plans for us and he took my guy. I kinow he was with me to show me that I could be loved for whom I am and that I deserved to be love. I was with him to get him through a horrible ordeal. Your writing made a lot sense to me. Thank you for sharing and reminding me of the truth.
Every relationship has good and bad elements. A past life Venus connection is the closest to a soulmate any human can achieve. Usually we have other connections too like Mars for a burst of anger. It's a mixed bag depending on many factors. Great informative article.
Ohhh my good God, finally someone who wrote what I think!!! Brilliant article. I have been with my soulmate for the last 25 years, and it isnt always easy, from both our points of view, and at the minute we are in the 'timeout' part…. but like you said Dania, my thinking is, we are to teach each other lessons, nothing more, like we organised it to be as it is just now…., I dont know if we will resolve it either, and not too bothered, because as long as we grow from our interactions, its a success.
I listen to people talk about soulmates as if they are a breed that never have problems, and in real life there is no such thing, and there is more than one for everyone of us. Sometimes we learn what we need to learn, and then move on, maybe to a new soulmate, maybe not, but thank you, I thought my thinking was weird, and nice to know its not so bad after all. wow, tickled with the article, wanted to jump up and shout hurrah…. a woman of sense at last. Well done you!!! luvs xxx keep the articles coming. Real is so good.
Thank you so much for writing this! I have been a spiritual councilor for years and this is one of the hardest false beliefs that I have to help people work through over and over again! Soulmates are teachers, not dreamboats.
GREAT article….I give it 5 whopping shiny gold stars ! LOL
and especially #1 :
"The biggest misconception about soulmate relationships is that people think they're meeting their knight in shining armor. But that's not really what happens." What really happens is that a soulmate comes into your life to help you grow and to teach you a lesson. They're not here to rescue or fix you. You still have to do all the work. How would you like to be taxed with rescuing someone? And how do you think it makes the person who "needs to be rescued" feel? If you're not willing to be someone else's "knight in shining armor," why should someone be yours?
So true !!!!!!
It is asking alot of somebody, anybody for that matter, to rescue you or fix you or be your reason for existing.
If you want a happy relationship, or just to live a happy life in general, you must be willing to do the work and invest in you.
Nobody is down here with the sole purpose of rescuing you. Nobody wants to bear the burden of making you happy 24/7. That's a huge burden to place upon somebody's shoulders!
Souls come together to help each other learn and grow….it cuts both ways !
My Great Aunt once taught me that " nobody will take care of your car, your clothes, or anythingelse including YOU, the way that YOU would. "
GREAT article, thanks !

Reduce time to marketEliminate waste and inefficiency
DevAnalytics supplies the data you need to take the guesswork out of SAP development and delivery. A comprehensive set of meaningful performance metrics provides evidence that can be used to support data-driven business decisions, helping to make your SAP systems more effective and efficient.
Insight and performance metrics are available across five key categories of development metrics: velocity, cycle times, rework & waste, work in progress and approval times.
This detailed view of what's happening within the change delivery process enables you to understand where action needs to be taken in order to eliminate waste, inefficiency and bottlenecks, so that you can reduce cycle times and speed up your time to market – changes that will save you money, help deliver more to your customers and which may also free up scarce resources for investment in other value-adding projects.
Benchmark performanceCompare suppliers, teams and projects
Which supplier is delivering most value? Which of your SAP projects were most efficient and cost-effective? DevAnalytics acts as a benchmarking tool for SAP development, to help you answer these questions and more.
Detailed, granular output provides the means to build performance metrics into supplier contracts and assess on-going performance, whilst internal best practice and high-performing teams can be identified. You can even compare your performance to wider industry averages using Basis Technologies' dataset.
Thirty-five pre-defined metrics are provided (when used in combination with Transport Expresso), allowing you to begin building reports immediately. Data can be presented across any date range, and the results refined using a variety of categories including SAP module (e.g. ECC, BW), SAP system (Dev, QA, etc), functional area (e.g. finance) and supplier. Categories can be combined to provide specific insights, so that you can create the individual reports that are of most use to your business.
Digital Transformation
Business agility is a fundamental requirement in the digital economy. As firms look to be more responsive to customer demands, modern development methodologies such as Agile and DevOps are becoming increasingly necessary to deliver a faster pace of IT change.
DevAnalytics supports the adoption of Agile and DevOps for SAP by providing a suite of metrics that can be used to assess performance on an on-going basis. This level of objective assessment is essential when focussing on rapid, incremental delivery of specific goals; it allows objective milestones can be set and used to track continuous improvement.
As quality and delivery speed improve – tracked through metrics such as cycle time and rework rate – cost is lowered, risk is reduced and customers are ultimately more satisfied.
Planning and Reporting
SAP change is increasingly being driven by the broader business. Requirements could range from a simple adjustment to an existing report, to major functional changes necessary to support a new business initiative.
DevAnalytics provides a means to close the 'visibility gap' that can exist between the program management office (PMO) and IT/Operations teams, helping to avoid confusion and ensuring that senior management receive the most accurate picture possible. Near real-time data is available and can be refreshed on a daily basis to give the latest view. Reports can be generated in a standard SAP GUI, or data can be exported for creation of dashboards in other common data visualisation tools such as QlikView and Tableau.
What's more, historical data can be used to improve planning of future projects. Required resource and duration can be more accurately predicted based on past performance; the same data can highlight which earlier projects have gone well, helping to identify approaches that can mitigate risk and promote best practice in future.
Ready for S/4HANA
DevAnalytics is simple to install and configure, connecting directly to an existing instance of Solution Manager running on your SAP system. No other software is required.
This means that whilst DevAnalytics is fully compatible with new SAP platforms such as S/4HANA, it's equally at home providing insight into an on-premise system running on HANA, or older SAP releases.
Whether you're undertaking a platform transition and wish to monitor performance levels during what can be a disruptive and resource-intensive process, or you've made the move already and would like to compare SAP development metrics before and after the shift, DevAnalytics can provide the insight that you need.
"If anyone asked me if they should have this tool, I'd say yes, why wouldn't you. How we coped without it is beyond me now!"

The 2020 Census is underway but without needed resources.
On, April 1, 2018 there will be a full-scale, "dress rehearsal" of the 2020 Census in Providence, RI. Typically, this end-to-end-test occurs in three areas around the country reflective of diverse populations. But, due to Congress's failure to appropriate money for the 2020 Census in a timely manner and at the planned-upon levels, this test is only happening in one community. What's more, delayed federal funding means the test is happening without any of the communication tools being developed for the 2020 Census; they have yet to be developed.
Congress and the White House, in fact all elected officials need to know their failures are putting us on track for what some consider may be a "failed census." The fiscal year 2018 and 2019 federal budgets are both still in play – right now. Because the federal government is still operating with a temporary budget (continuing resolution) there is an opportunity for additional FY 2018 funding. Plus, the 2019 budgeting process is now underway.
A simple message works: "Fund Census 2020 with an adequate, timely, and predictable budget." Constituent voices are extremely important in determining an elected official's priorities. It just takes five calls/emails to elevate an accurate 2020 Census to be a focus area for your representative. Contact your representative now. Feel free to contact us at MCF if you need help.
Here's the up-to-date scoop about what's happening with the census:
The Census Project provides monthly updates and periodic blog postings about the census. (look at the most recent about the about the rural undercount). Here is a summary of our key concerns challenging an accurate 2020 Census.
Adequate, timely, and predictable funding to support 2020 Census key programs. The fiscal budgets for 2018 and 2019 are the final opportunities to get it right, but both FY budgets are below what is absolutely essential for the 2020 Count. FY 2018 Budget - the current Continuing Resolution ends March 23 (nearly six months into the fiscal year!). The Census Bureau needs $1.848 billion to help put 2020 Census planning back on track. FY 2019 Budget --The Census Bureau needs ~$4.735 billion, which includes $3.928 billion for the 2020 Census and funds for keep-the-lights-on programs including measurements of the economy.
The increased funding is critical for several reasons:
- Updated address lists for every housing unit in the nation. Rural areas, rapid growth areas, and areas hit by natural disasters (floods, wild fires) pose special challenges. Minnesota's State Demographic Center is actively supporting Minnesota cities and counties in the LUCA program. https://mn.gov/admin/demography/census2020/
- IT systems to collect responses from 75 million households in the weeks around April 1, 2020. The stability of the online-response option (expected to be used by half of all households) in particular needs to be tested this year.
- Communications and partnership programs with local "trusted voices" are critical to reducing overall costs and getting out the count from the "hard to count" population (renters, low income, children, new Americans, communities of color).
- Field staff --- there are no plans currently for a field office in the western half of the state, only in the Twin Cities, Duluth, and Rochester. Indian Country and rural Minnesota will be especially at risk of an inaccurate count.
- Dry Run (2018 end-to-end test) completion and course correction based on the results.
- Complete the final questionnaire that has been developed and tested by census statisticians (nonpartisan professionals, the best in the world), not viewed through a political filter.
A Proposed Department of Justice Citizenship Question would suppress response rates and harm Minnesota. The U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court make clear that everyone must be counted in the decennial census. MACS 2020 does not support a Citizenship question. Nor do Attorneys General from 19 states, and Mayors (including Minneapolis, Minnetonka, Saint Paul and Duluth).
Finally, the Census Bureau needs leadership. The former Director resigned in June 2017. The Census Bureau is operating without the visibility and support provided by a strong professional leader, essential to a good count.
MCF convenes the Minnesota Census Mobilization Partnership (MCMP) to promote a fully-inclusive, fair, and accurate 2020 Census in Minnesota. Through MCMP, we partner with MACS 2020 on federal advocacy for the census and American Community Survey. This Policy in Focus post was developed by MACS 2020. Follow MCMP on Facebook and Twitter.
