The Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology 2006-2020 and Educator Preparation and Development
January 25, 2010 Leave a comment
One of the Key Areas of the Texas Long-Range Plan for Technology 2006-2020 is Educator Preparation and Development. This key area addresses the professional development needs of teachers and all members of the education community. It is further broken down into the following Focus Areas: Professional Development Experiences, Models of Professional Development, Capabilities of Educators, Access to Professional Development, Levels of Understanding and Patterns of Use, and Professional Development for Online Learning.
To achieve the goals of the Texas Long-Range Plan, continuous professional development for educators in using and integrating technology in teaching and learning must be top priority. Statewide progress in this endeavor has been slow, and gains have been modest. Based on the Campus Statewide Summary by Key Area in Academic Year 2006-2007, 0.7% or 55 of 7752 campuses were classified Target Tech, 17% (1321) Advanced, 74% (5739) Developing, and 8.2% (637) Early Tech. The following year (AY 2007-2008), 0.6% or 44 of 7641 campuses were classified Target Tech, 19.9% (1520) Advanced, 74.2% (5668) Developing, and 5.4% (409) Early Tech. In the most recent summary from last year (AY 2008-2009), 0.6% or 48 of 7848 campuses were classified Target Tech, 23.8% (1864) Advanced, 71.1% (5580) Developing, and 4.5% (356) Early Tech. Noticeable trends include: the number of campuses achieving Advanced Tech classification have increased steadily, while those classified Target Tech have fluctuated, and those classified Early Tech dwindled.
My campus (Oppe Elementary School) reflects this plodding and fluctuating progress in this Key Area. In 2006-2007, we scored a total of 13 and classified as Developing Tech. The following year, our scored dropped to 11 when our Access to Professional Development was rated 1 or Early Tech. Last year though, we moved up to 14, scoring 3 or Advanced Tech in the focus areas of Models of Professional Development and Levels of Understanding and Patterns of Use. Additionally, we have yet to achieve a rating of 4 or Target Tech classification on any individual focus area of Educator Preparation and Development, while the only 4 we attained was in the key area of Infrastructure for Technology, focus area Internet Access Connectivity and Speed.
Needless to say, this dismal progress leaves much to be desired. This issue is critical as we cannot expect teachers to fully implement the Technology Applications TEKS, not to mention attain the goals of the Texas Long-Range Plan, if they do not become technology proficient themselves and receive the requisite professional development. Again, this would easily be addressed if each campus has a designated person for technology professional development as well as instructional support. Interestingly, this position was eliminated two years ago, and we now only receive infrequent inservice (brief at that) from one specialist for all elementary schools in my district. My campus and the district as a whole may have adequate (and improving) physical infrastructure, but the human infrastructure still has a lot of room to grow.

The Little Match Girl 2
Here are some more images I created for The Little Match Girl theme.
There is the original sketch I did where she was kneeling in the snow as well as two very rough images of her dead. I wanted her to have died with a smile on her face looking peaceful and happy like a beautiful little girl who just fell asleep.
Lastly is a more refined version of the image I had painted last time. I have to get back to some other work so I have to leave the color image where it is for now. Who knows if I will go back to it when I have more time? I think I worked her enough but I would like to finish the box and the matches.

The Little Match Girl
This month's Gum or Mints assignment was the Little Match Girl.
I have always liked this story although it is grim. The concept of her getting lost in the hallucination is what attracted me first with this assignment and subsequently the light from the matches which help to take her there. I felt the need to work in color for this to feel the light best and did a watercolor rough of the first image I drew out. I really was going for an awestruck expression as well. I wanted her to look completely happy and not to care about all that was bad in her life. I have done some changes to the drawing and will probably give it another try in watercolor. I have also done some of her dead the next morning that I have to scan and will post them once I do.

text: In Luke's account of the empty tomb, we find bewildered women making a trip to anoint Jesus' body. They do not expect what comes next. They experience the empty tomb and hurry to tell the others. No one believes them, but Peter has enough faith to check it out on his own. This first, of three stories in Luke 24, reveals the reality of the Resurrection to an unbelieving, faithless group of followers. However, in time, Jesus will empower their faith. We too, may doubt or struggle with the resurrection of Jesus. As we gather on Easter, may God give us all that need to embrace and live into his Resurrection.

Motivated 16-year-old Ty Hobson-Powell attends law school at NCCU
BY LANA DOUGLAS – [email protected]
One look at Ty Hobson-Powell and you may think that he is an average teenager.
He likes to play basketball and video games; he even occasionally wastes time on Facebook and Twitter.
But Ty isn't the average 16-year-old.
He began classes at N.C. Central University Law School in August after he became the youngest person to graduate from the University of Baltimore at age 15, finishing a four-year degree in two.
The average age of a day-time student at NCCU is 24 years old, according to Linda Sims, associate dean for student services at NCCU school of law.
"I wouldn't say that I always knew that I wanted to get finished early," Ty said. "I can say that from a young age I was driven."
When he was 3 years old, he learned how to read, write and speak Chinese.
"He's always been a very above-average kid, but normal," said Edwin Powell, Ty's father. "The word 'why' was always in his vocabulary," he said.
His mother, Liz Hobson-Powell, describes him as always being "very inquisitive."
Ty credits his success to motivation and having a semi-photographic memory. After briefly studying a chart or graph he can remember it verbatim.
Ty's three siblings are also accomplished.
His older sister graduated from high school at age 17 and college at age 19.
His two younger siblings, Quinn and Reid, also show promise in their areas of interest.
"[There was] no pushing force from our parents," Ty said. "They just reinforced our passions and did everything in their power to help us achieve our goals."
Ty's father is a professor at Howard University and his mother is a commander with the U.S. Public Health Service.
"I would have to say that we've encouraged them and with all the strengths that they have and given them the tools to go out and do what it is they feel they would like to do," Hobson-Powell said.
"I've always said to my kids, putting letters behind your name does not define success, but leaving behind a legacy and looking behind saying 'I've helped somebody,' that's how you define success," Powell said.
Ty chose to go to school to become a defense attorney after he met someone from the Innocence Project, which works with people it believes have been wrongfully convicted.
"I want to advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves," he said.
He also has a passion for public speaking.
His message encourages students to capitalize on every opportunity they get and parents to help their children achieve success in whatever path they choose.
"I think it's reasonable to believe that a lot more people could be where I am right now," Ty said. "Hopefully, I can instill values in youth and even adults to go out and strive to be as good as they can."
"In a non-cocky way, I want to make sure that there are more stories like mine, because there's a lot of people like me and a lot of people with potential to be like me, but for whatever reason, be it lack of support at home or lack of drive from within, are not where I am currently," he said.
After he graduates from NCCU, Ty says he may attend medical school or get into politics.

Breast Cancer & German New Medicine Biological conflicts may be sexual, procreative or territorial (nest) in nature. Dr. Hamer's research demonstrates there are two basic types of breast cancer, glandular (lobular) and intraductal. Let's take a look at glandular. The biological conflict associated with glandular breast cancer, e.g. is a territorial nest-worry (the worry over the well-being of a loved one), an argument or quarrel regarding a nest or family member.

Albany, New York Information
Albany is the state capital of New York and the seat of Albany County. Roughly 135 miles (220 km) north of the City of New York, Albany sits on the west bank of the Hudson River, about 10 miles (16 km) south of its confluence with the Mohawk River. The population of the City of Albany was 97,856 according to the 2010 census. Albany has close ties with the nearby cities of Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs, forming a region called the Capital District. The bulk of this area is made up of the Albany-Schenectady-Troy Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The area's 2010 population was 870,716, the 4th largest MSA in New York and the 58th largest in the country.
Albany saw its first European settlement in 1614 and was officially chartered as a city in 1686. It became the capital of New York in 1797. It is one of the oldest surviving settlements from the original thirteen colonies, and the longest continuously chartered city in the United States. Modern Albany was founded as the Dutch trading posts of Fort Nassau in 1614 and Fort Orange in 1624. The fur trade brought in a population that settled around Fort Orange and founded a village called Beverwijck. The English took over and renamed the city Albany in 1664, in honor of the then Duke of Albany, the future James II of England and James VII of Scotland. The city was officially chartered in 1686 with the issuance of the Dongan Charter, the oldest effective city charter in the United States and possibly the longest-running instrument of municipal government in the Western Hemisphere.
During the late 18th century and throughout most of the 19th, Albany was a center of transportation. It is located on the north end of the navigable Hudson River, was the original eastern terminus of the Erie Canal, and was home to some of the earliest railroad systems in the world. Albany's main exports at the time were beer, lumber, published works, and ironworks. Beginning in 1810, Albany was one of the ten most populous cities in the United States, a distinction that it held until the 1860 census.
Albany is one of the first cities in the world to have installed public water mains, sewer lines, natural gas lines and electricity, bringing substantial new industry to the city and surrounding area during the 19th century.
In the 20th century, the city opened one of the first commercial airports in the world, the precursor of today's Albany International Airport. The 1920s saw the rise of a powerful political machine controlled by the Democratic Party.
The city's skyline changed in the 1960s with the construction of the Empire State Plaza and the uptown campus of SUNY Albany, mainly under the direction of Governor Nelson Rockefeller. While Albany experienced a decline in its population due to urban sprawl, many of its historic neighborhoods were saved from destruction through the policies of Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd, the longest-serving mayor of any city in the United States. More recently, the city has experienced growth in the high-technology industry, with great strides in the nanotechnology sector.
Albany has been a center of higher education for over a century, with much of the remainder of its economy dependent on state government and health care services. The city has experienced a rebound from the urban decline of the 1970s and 1980s, with noticeable development happening in the city's downtown and midtown neighborhoods. Albany is known for its extensive history, culture, architecture, and institutions of higher education. The city is home to the mother churches of two Christian dioceses as well as the oldest Christian congregation in Upstate New York. Albany has won the All-America City Award in both 1991 and 2009.
As of the 2010 census, there were 97,856 people residing in the city. The population of the metro area in 2009 was estimated to be 857,592. The population density in 2010 was 4,572.7 per square mile (1,779.2/km²). There were 46,362 housing units at an average density of 2,166.4 per square mile (842.9/km²); 5,205 of these units (11.2%) were vacant. The racial makeup of the city residents was 57.0% white; 30.8% black or African American; 0.3% Native American or Native Alaskan; 5.0% Asian; 0.1% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander; 3.2% from other races; and 3.7% from two or more races. A total of 10.6% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race. Non-Hispanic Whites were 52.0% of the population in 2010, compared to 87.0% in 1970.
As of the 2000 census, the top five ancestry groups in the city were Irish (18.1%), Italian (12.4%), German (10.4%), English (5.2%), and Polish (4.3%); (33.1%) of the population reported "other ancestries". Albany is home to a Trique language-speaking community of Mexican-Americans.
The population had 20.0% under the age of 18, 19.3% from 18 to 24, 29.2% from 25 to 44, 18.1% from 45 to 64, and 13.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 31.4 years. For every 100 females there were 90.6 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 86.5 males. Some 81.3% of the population had completed high school or earned an equivalency diploma.
There were 40,709 households in 2000, out of which 22.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 25.3% were married couples living together, 16.1% had a female householder with no husband present, and 54.8% were non-families. 41.9% of all households were made up of individuals and 11.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.11 and the average family size was 2.95.
The median income for a household in the city in 2000 was $42,529, and the median income for a family was $45,210 (male, year-round worker) and $38,382 (female, year-round worker). The per capita income for the city was $25,880.[o] About 16.0% of families and 21.7% of the population were below the poverty line, including 28.8% of those under age 18 and 12.5% of those age 65 or over. The rate of reported violent crimes for 2008 (1,095 incidents per 100,000 residents) is more than double the rate for similarly sized US cities. Reported property crimes (4,669 incidents per 100,000 residents) are somewhat lower.
Demographically speaking, the population of Albany and the Capital District mirrors the characteristics of the United States consumer population as a whole better than any other major municipality in the country. According to a 2004 study conducted by the Acxiom Corporation, Albany and its environs are the top-ranked standard test market for new business and retail products. Albany, Rochester, and Syracuse all scored within the top five.

This page describes the requirements and an ideal strategy for mirroring Apache Software Foundation releases. More information can be obtained from the firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list.
Any project willing to use the ASF infrastructure to distribute source, binary and documentation builds must adhere to the following guidelines.
These guidelines have been developed so that a consistent way to mirror our distributions can be achieved, therefore lowering the impact of the enormous amount of bandwidth consumed by our downloads.
Current ASF releases must be accessible from participating mirrors.
The mirrors should be used by default.
www.apache.org/dist/ and www.eu.apache.org/dist/ may be used only as fallback/backup mirrors.
A best-guess determination of which mirror to use should be performed.
Any system should allow the user to override the mirror selection.
All releases must be signed by the release manager.
PGP/MD5 signature links from project sites may not point to mirrors.
Only current, recommended releases should be mirrored. Old releases are automatically archived to archive.apache.org/dist/ and can be deleted from the main distribution directory.
Software distributions should not be kept on the project's website. Instead, they should be moved to the appropriate central site. There are three types of software distributions with three different locations:

|Some things are designed to provide information.
Ever feel like there is something a little out of place?
Sometimes we are provided with a great deal of information - some of which - could be critical to know and understand in order to successfully complete a complex task. However, if the information is not presented properly, it is useless.
|Only because I am proficient with computers might I think this information
has something to do with pasting content using a keyboard shortcut.

- a
- difference
are able tointerpret what you want to say.
Take these five fruits for example... Each of

- color.
Imagine reading an entire book that was written like that. Ewww, but depending on how interested you were in the content, you might try to duke it out for a while before chucking it and looking for some new reading material.
In my other post - I am trying to indicate that if we provide information that is useful and/or interesting - we might be able to generate a higher level of success in school. I am well aware that the level of usefulness is relative to the one processing it. What is useful for one person may be completely worthless to another. My question was why do we force certain subjects on students when they are neither useful nor interesting to them? Please do not misinterpret this as advocacy against a well rounded education.
In this post, I simply wanted to ask you to join me in thinking about this again and to factor in some ideas surrounding the design of information. An important part of the process of designing information is to analyze your audience. You have to know your audience in order to best design a learning experience for them that will meet their needs by being relevant and useful.
Consider the examples above. The information presented on the sign seems to be addressing the wrong audience. Chances are that if you live in the United States, you might not be part of the right audience for the book either. The formatting of text shows an example (albeit extreme) of bad presentation design. Certainly, a better understanding of the audience might have led the designer to format this in a way that facilitated reading and comprehension of the information.
|How do you know if the information will be useful?
How do you make your content useful and interesting? Does design play a role? Please share your experiences - I would love to hear them.

Collaborative workplaces are becoming the norm, as more and more jobs require dynamic team structures. This means multiple teams across organisations, especially startups, are involved in helping a project reach its end-goal.
Being assigned to lead projects without the managerial title or authority tagged to your name can be a tricky situation to handle. You do not want to risk having uncommitted team members, especially because you do not have direct control over them, but project expectations still have to be met.
If you're feeling a little sandwiched, and are unsure of how to navigate the matter, consider the following tips:
Get everyone on the same pageIt happens - individual employees can be all over the place when it comes down to working together on a new project. To make the matter worse, you're not their boss and technically, are in no position to dictate what they can do. But in a situation when there is no clear leader, situational leadership will have to come into play.
To prevent individuals from checking out during a discussion, encourage the team to come together for the planning process. Following the discussion, start a work-in-progress (WIP) document accessible for all to ensure everyone stays on the same page. If anyone becomes unsure of their role, point them back to the WIP document.
Influence, not dictate Not being the direct boss' of any team member doesn't mean you can't have a softer approach to getting things done. Leaders can influence decisions and action when there is charisma! Never stop listening to your team members.
To set the floor for the most effective receptivity in a team, always bridge what you're trying to achieve back to the objective of your project. Have your idea and points clearly communicated, so everyone understands where you're coming from. Most people work best when they have an idea or see the big picture, instead of being told to carry out instructions.
Manage different personalitiesManagers attain their roles through their strong capabilities in various areas, including their ability to manage all kinds of personalities within a group. Team members need to come together in consensus for a project to move ahead. Observe and play on different strengths and weaknesses of each member, delegate roles based on that to achieve the most effective outcome.
Also never stop providing constructive feedback to whenever necessary, and put yourself in their shoes as much as possible when working together. This can help eliminate potential misunderstanding and obstacles along the way, and help foster a healthier relationship at work.
Build a relationship with managersLastly, communicate frequently with all the managers overseeing your team. Often when a new team is formed for a new project, individual team members are only able to commit a limited number of hours outside their day-to-day work. Being in touch with their direct supervisors could mean leeways to getting additional commitment from different team members towards your project. In addition to that, should these team members have problems committing the project suddenly, their line manager will be likely to communicate it to you ahead of time. This will be helpful when it comes to reallocating the resources required without affecting the project end-goal.

Pension taxation
Earnings-related pension is subject to withholding tax. The taxation of pension income is based on the Tax Administration's instructions and tax legislation.
Obtain a tax card for pension income when your pension begins
Obtain a tax card for your pension income from the tax authority as soon as possible after receiving your pension decision. If you live outside of Finland, Varma will obtain a tax card for pension income from the Finnish tax authorities on your behalf.
The tax rate for employment income can no longer be used as the withholding rate for pension as of 2016. It is therefore advisable to obtain a tax card for pension income as soon as the pension decision has arrived. In the coming years, we will request each year a new tax rate from the tax authority for the pensions that are being paid.
If tax information is missing, the tax rate is 40%
If the tax rate for pension income is not known by us at the time when the payment of pension begins, we are required, under the tax legislation, to withhold 40% tax for both future and retroactive pension.
We will refund any overpaid tax as soon as we receive your tax card for pension income from the tax authority.

We had a great time there meeting up with old friends and congratulations to Jo Thomas for winning the Joan Hessayan award.
It's always a very noisy party and I come away with ears ringing. What's required next day is a soothing stroll round a garden. So what better place to go than John Lewis in Oxford Street?
If you're in London before the end of August, then I do recommend going along. It isn't like the astonishing roof gardens on the old Derry and Toms building in Kensington - that's well established. This is a temporary garden celebrating the store's hundred and fiftieth anniversary and is both quirky and charming. Click on the pictures to make them bigger. Make sure you go to the exhibition on the third floor too. It's a wonderful social history.
It's a rather miserable looking bank holiday weekend, so why not stay in and write your story for the Wow competition if you haven't already done so? We're looking forward to reading the entries very much. Go HERE for information and entry.

"System 2 is the band's erratic, noisy answer to the last three years of America's greatest turmoils, terrors, and paranoia …. Their means of spreading their message is forty minutes of chaos that sounds like a post-rock, Devo-ish version of Unsane — in other words, something very creative and loud. The noises here seem random yet intentional, a guitar/ bass/drums set-up soaked in digital teasings and loops and occasional samples …." — Kevin White, Splendid E-Zine

When the University of Illinois fired Kenneth Howell--who like Brant, John and myself is a Senior Fellow for the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology--for teaching the Catholic Church's understanding of homosexuality, we saw one of the clearest examples of what Pope Benedict has come to call "the dictatorship of relativism". Howell was teaching an introductory course on Catholicism. The university however claimed that Howell was "intolerant" and therefore fired him--"tolerance" was demanded of all views it would seem, except traditional Christian perspectives.
Of course, thanks in large part to the public outcry the followed his dismissal, the school was eventually forced to reverse itself and ended up hiring Dr. Howell back.
Now the whole story is available here. This is a fascinating read.

We have reached too far to turn back now. And so we will keep moving!
Keith Claudius Mitchell was born to Dowlyn and Catherine Mitchell in Brizan, St. George.

He also started his own consulting firm in Washington, D.C., and subsequently worked as a professional consultant to a number of Government departments and private corporations in the United States.
In 1984, he was elected Member of Parliament for St. George North West, and has held the seat in each subsequent election. Dr. Mitchell was elected Political Leader of the New National Party (NNP) in 1989.

"For Ricky Roberts, the moment came after the Orlando nightclub shootings. "Trump said he was going to protect gay men, and he did, [with] the travel ban. Hillary was telling Americans not to 'pick on all Muslims because of this,'" and that did not feel like protection, Roberts says."
6/28/18, "Viral 'Walk Away' Videos Highlight Growing Movement of Democrats Leaving the Party," The Epoch Times, by
When actor James Woods tweeted out the hashtag "#WalkAway" in late June, even the alt-right missed the enormity of what lay beneath it. The Democratic Party had, in fact, struck an iceberg.
|Brandon Straka
"Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal.
"I reject a system which allows an ambitious, misinformed and dogmatic mob to suppress free speech, create false narratives, and apathetically steamroll over the truth."
"I reject hate."
If Democratic strategists were still able to watch the rest of the video without suffering a nervous breakdown, they'd see that it quickly got worse.
"These are the reasons why I became a liberal. And these are the same reasons why I am now walking away."
Tidal Wave
Meet Brandon Straka, the unlikely liberator and new face of the "silent minority" of Americans who've been cast out by family and friends, fired from jobs, and forced into silent social ghettos for their failure to "get it" about how hateful and dangerous Donald Trump is, and why he and all his supporters should be subjected to an ever-expanding social and professional fatwah.
Since Straka published his confessional video on May 26, his life as a New York City hairdresser and aspiring actor has been overtaken by a tidal wave.
-Posted by WalkAway Campaign on Tuesday, May 29, 2018-
They gather at his two Facebook groups, "The Unsilent Minority" and "WalkAway Campaign." Those who have the courage post their own video testimonials about the moment when the abuse, rage, and ugliness of the Democrats caused them to finally leave the party and "walk away."
"This is so much more than a hashtag on Twitter," he said. "This is a testimonial campaign, a grassroots movement that is going to change the political landscape of this country."
And that's the astonishing twist here: If these people have been driven into the arms of Donald Trump, who's left on the left?
Lifelong Democrats
Those who are walking away are not Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables," but rather, in many cases, lifelong Democrats who simply could not take it any longer and have longed for this very moment, when somebody like them would make it safe for them to come out of the closet and speak their minds.
From urban gay men to staunch liberal grandmothers, from a punk drag queen with black lips to a tattooed lesbian with a mohawk, those posting testimonials all had a breaking point, a moment when they decided to "walk away."
Lea Anna Bright, in a mohawk, looks into the camera and says in a slow, simmering voice: "This is a Vice article I am reading right now. It says, 'The activist left doesn't give a shit about your calls for civility. Get ready for a summer of rage.'" She looks up. "This is where the party is going, and this is why I chose to walk away. Peace. Not for me. Bye."
A man adjusts his video camera and sits back. The walls behind him are a tasteful grey-blue. He's a gay, affluent, native New Yorker, and he's coming out of the second closet of his life. For Ricky Roberts, the moment came after the Orlando nightclub shootings.
"Trump said he was going to protect gay men, and he did, [with] the travel ban. Hillary was telling Americans not to 'pick on all Muslims because of this,'" and that did not feel like protection, Roberts says. "I swear to God, wanted to throw my shoe through the TV.
"At that point I was like, I can't do it anymore. I really can't.
"You know, listen, I'm a gay guy from New York City, but before that, I'm an American, I'm a patriot. I'm now an uncle."
His assessment of the Democrats: "From immigration to everything, they are just a disaster.
"They're anti-American, anti-common sense, rational—anything good, they're against it."
Manipulating Fear
Straka, who grew up in a small town in Nebraska, was on board with the fear and loathing campaign around Trump until he began asking people back home why they had voted for him. To his astonishment, they told him about Obama-era regulations that had crippled their small businesses.
He started to research media canards like the one about Trump supposedly mocking a disabled reporter. When he found that it was a total distortion, he kept going, his anger rising.
He eventually became "completely 'red-pilled.'" And isolated. He told himself that he would have to give up his lifelong dream of becoming an actor if he hit the "publish" button on his video, but, encouraged by one conservative gay friend, he decided to go ahead.
"This was a matter of the media specifically using and manipulating people's deepest fears, based on legitimate traumas," he explained.
"Many gay people have experienced very serious homophobia and even physical violence. Can you imagine manipulating a domestic violence survivor's fears just for political purposes? It's insane.
"I was afraid of losing all my friends. As I began posting about these things on social media, people started attacking me and unfriending me.
"But I thought, 'You know what, this is too important.' Maybe it's the fact that I'm a gay man and I've already been through this—people making up lies about what it means to be gay and trying to shame me. I was like, 'I'm not doing it. I'm not doing this twice.'
"The more resentment I received, the stronger I got. Finally, I thought, 'To hell with it. I'm just going to blow the lid off this whole thing and make this video.'"
The video has garnered 1.3 million views on his Facebook page and has been shared on many other popular pages. It is estimated to have reached some 5 million viewers so far.
There are some 27,000 followers of the Facebook group, with new people posting both video and text testimonials every day. Straka calls them "the patriots."
"Initially, my focus was on the gay community because I was so angry at how they were [being terrorized]," Straka said. "Then I thought, why should I limit it to just us? They're doing the same thing to black people. And Hispanic people. And frankly, they're doing the same thing to everybody in one way or another.
"But it's really the minorities in America who don't feel like we have a choice. That's what they keep telling us over and over:
'You're not safe on the right. They don't want you on the right. They hate you on the right. You're only safe with us. We are here to protect you.'
"Meanwhile, are you kidding me? You're here to 'protect' me? All you are doing is use my fears to scare the [expletive] out of me—to terrify me and to try to manipulate the way that I vote."
Libby Albert, one of the WalkAway Facebook group members, said,
"This is taking off," citing the snowstorm of thousands of hashtags on Twitter. "It's kind of incredible."
Said another: "It's kind of incredible. It's OK. Walk away.""

Added: Seattle welcomes "hate" as a strategy, from Democrats Against UN Agenda 21:
6/5/18, "THE REDEMPTION OF KATHY GRIFFIN," Democrats Against UN Agenda 21
"Do you remember when Kathy Griffin made a video of herself holding a stylized head of President Trump? Most of us thought that had ruined her career. Nope. Take a look at this Seattle events magazine announcing an upcoming Kathy Griffin show. I think you'll be interested to see the progression / regression of opinion as laid out by this announcement. This is far more than a left/right divide. This is an indicator of the difficulty in speaking truth to people who have tacitly agreed to destroy anyone who doesn't go along to get along, and to celebrate anyone who does."

Last week, the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance held a news conference on Food Industry Sustainability that included members of the agricultural trade and consumer media. During the event, USFRA Chairwoman Nancy Kavazanjian, National Milk Producers Federation Chairman Randy Mooney, University of Arkansas Professor of Ecological Engineering Dr. Marty Matlock and USFRA CEO Randy Krotz unveiled plans for a "Straight Talk" campaign to engage the food industry in a dialogue on sustainable agriculture production, the marketing practices used to reach consumers, and the intersection of both trends.
- GMOs have allowed us to decrease chemical input, carbon emissions and farm more sustainably. -Nancy Kavazanjian
- The only two differences between Dannon yogurt with or without GMOs will be what is claimed on the label, and the price consumers pay. -Randy Mooney
- Sustainability is not a destination, it's a journey. But biotech, which allows for low- and no-till farming, moves us in the right direction. -Dr. Marty Matlock
- There comes a time when we as farmers and ranchers need to step up and challenge companies when they misinform consumers. -Randy Krotz

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!? Wednesdays, 8-1-2007: Them other series need to shape up
Posted by DeathToZippermouth under Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!? Weekdays, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
1 Comment
Why hello there. It's another Wednesday, which tends to happen when seven days pass, and that means it's WTF!? Wednesday.
And this week, for the third week in a row, we're featuring scenes from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It's partly because I didn't watch too much else in the way of anime, and partly because the other things I watched weren't nearly as insane as Episode 3 of SZS. So this week we're bringing you a small showcase of the weirdness of episode 3, featuring not 1, not 2, not even 3, but FOUR of the assorted WTF moments of the episode.
I'm very thankful for YouTube. It allows me to both review the assorted weirdness of the week and pick and choose episodes. I'm also thankful that I've now learned how to embed. Video clips after the more!

Police Misconduct — The Worst Case in December
Over at Cato's Police Misconduct web site, we have identified the worst case for December. It was the case of Eric Crinnian, a Kansas City man who was threatened by police for refusing them warrantless entry into his home. When Crinnian, a lawyer, refused to let officers search his home in the middle of the night without a warrant, he says an officer told him, "If we have to get a warrant, we're going to come back when you're not expecting it, we're going to park in front of your house, where all your neighbors can see, we're gonna bust in your door with a battering ram, we're gonna shoot and kill your dogs…and then we're going to ransack your house looking for these people."
That kind of conduct shows a clear contempt for the Constitution, which is supposed to be the law of the land.
We welcome assistance from readers. If you see a police misconduct story while you are reading the news, send it our way using this form. Thank you.

Spring has sprung
…with a spring in my step, I sprung into action today for about 30 minutes and turned my attention to the trays of Purple Velvet Petunia seedlings on the windowsill. They need pricking out today!
Having done naff all for the past 10 days due to my furry companion of 19 years passing away last Monday, my beloved cat Yasmin…..I've not been in the best of moods since. Missing the everyday interaction, feeding and even the sound of her claws on the laminate flooring has she walked through the house. I'm going to miss her forever !
As you can see from the above pics, I managed a few trays. If I'm having another spring moment tomorrow, the Bacopa will be next.
❤ ❤ ❤
woohooo…has summer finally arrived.
And I'm feeling allllrightttt…
…the sun is out and the temperature is raising…..and I'm standing outside of the greenhouse. How great is that. 😀 So, what's been happening at the photographer's garden, well…
The tomatoes have finally moved to their final positions in the greenhouse.
This is the happiest of all the trays of beetroot. The rest are in a mood because I've pricked them out to late – beetroot hate having their roots disturbed.
The parsnips are doing fab – trying to keep the temps down as growth will stop – veg seedlings don't like extreme temps.
Looks like I'm going to have a glut of Lettuce – I do the same thing every year. However, I've a great little soup recipe – Green Herb Soup. My boss would make this for the guests, when I use to lived at the Lakes, it's fab !
I'll post the recipe later though. 🙂
LOL my only Cauliflower seedling to germinate, well I did chance an old packet of seeds, Clapton this variety. Notoriously difficult to grow, this variety is surprisingly easy. Erm yeh, think I'll buy a fresh packet next year.
Basil. It'll be growing alongside the tomatoes in the greenhouse, as it doesn't grow very well outside…just goes all black and withers – just too cold.
Mini-pop (baby corn) on the left and Sweetcorn on the right. Both planted differently – Mini-pop in single rows 20ins apart. Sweetcorn in blocks of four 16ins each way. Never had a bad crop yet !
Squash, planting these alongside my pumpkins for Halloween.
Giant Sunflowers, well, not at the moment. Soon, I hope…
Busy Lizzies, sowed them quite late really but it doesn't matter. Should be ready for the hanging baskets by the end of June if I prick them out now.
I don't tend to grow broccoli but thought, what the hell give it another go.
Ha, my cucumber plant, La Diva. These are murder for getting powdery mildew but if you catch it early…spray the leaves with diluted milk and water and this does help to reduce the damage. lol Anno milk and water, seriously this does work. One solution is to UP the humidity – the blue tray will be filled with water to keep the immediate area around the plants, as humid as possible. Lets see what happens !!
I'll have a P please bob….yes, you can't have an allotment without a wigwam of peas. The trouble is, the pea moth loves them too. Fleece may be the answer.
I can't wait for these to ripen. Bought these strawberry plants from a nursery down south – on the left a variety called Vibrant and on the right Marshmello. One thing is for sure, I've never seen plants so big, the flowers are massive. 🙂 🙂
Potatoes !! Main crop – Rooster, nice spuds and versatile.
More potatoes !! haha. First earlies – Anya, love these…nice nutty flavor great with salads.
Peppers, going to pot these on tomorrow. They're not happy because their roots are too hot.
A mates baskets – filled with bacopa, million bells and surfina. Think I only planted them up 2 weeks ago, already they've doubled in size. 🙂 Fantastic !!
So that just leaves the rest of the weeding to finish off….oh man. hehe
…is it me your looking for.
Ooops !!
I haven't forgotten…..really. Time these Jack O' lantern pumpkins were potted on, being very greedy and hungry plants they'd soon suffer if I didn't.
Using a fork gently lift from the tray.
And pot on into individual modules; where they'll remain for 2 weeks before being repotted again.
Hot Pepper
Since the weather was very poor and not much can be done outside. I figured it was time to sow my peppers before it's too late. The seeds were covered with a 1/4″ of compost and put into a carrier bag to conserve moisture and placed in a warm place. Seedlings should appear in 7-14 days. Hmmm, we'll see.
Growing lobelia – a method I like to use
Since I can't get out and about. I thought I'd share my way of dealing with lobelia seeds. I often read the problems associated with lobelia, yet I find it one of the easiest to grow. Having said that, many of my methods were learnt through trial and error.
1. Surface sow the seed onto moist compost in 4 or 5 rows and mist to adhere to seed to the compost. Here I've used the half size seed trays but you can use any size you wish. Put into a carrier bag and using the handles, loosely tie so as not to let any moisture escape. Put into a warm light room/greenhouse and check at least once a day. Water using a fine spray bottle. Once germination has started remove from bag and position in a bright place, away from direct sunlight – direct sun will burn young seedlings.
2. The seedlings should look something like this after a few weeks.
3. When the seedlings reach this size they're ready to be split and put into individual pots/modules.
4. Using a ruler for example, run it along the edge and underneath – very similar to loosening a cake from its tin.
5. Using the ruler, use it to cut each row.
6. It should look like this once it is separated.
7. I find the ruler comes in handy when lifting from the tray.
8. Gently split into little clumps – they are very robust, so do not worry.
9. And pot on, into cells.
10. Then finally water from below – here a poundshop cat litter tray does the bizz………and transfer to a warm greenhouse for them to grow on.
After a few weeks the roots should have took and the plant will have grown in size. This is the time to transfer the trays to a non heated place until its time for hardening off, which usually lasts for 2 weeks. Once the risk of frosts and nasty weather has passed they'll be ready for planting in your favorite places. And don't forget, for great displays feed regularly – just like us, they need food to maintain their looks throughout the season.
So, if you fancy giving Lobelia a go – this is a great method and one which works for me. Happy gardening. 🙂
Waiting for the sun…
Usually, the Easter weekend signals all things potatoes and garden centres. However, this year is different – it is snowing but only just…here in the Northeast, thank goodness. The same can't be said for other parts of the country who have been shivering under a white blanket of the stuff all week. Thinking back to this time last year, we were in the grips of a mini heatwave with many of us basking under its rays down the local parks with the kids. Lovely it was !!
Sadly it proved to be the only bit heat to hit our shores in 2012 and the rest of the Spring and Summer was spent under a umbrella sporting an essential bit of kit; wellies.
I'm hoping this year will be different and this extended cold weather, which has been predicted to last for many more weeks yet, turns out to be a good omen for the coming summer. Long and hot. Oooh, what a thought !!
The potatoes I've chosen to grow this year are Rooster ( main crop). A versatile all-rounder which grow and cooks well, whether its mashed, boiled, steamed or baked.
So in the meantime, I'll continue to nurse my cold with a beechams lemon and plot the season to come. Then hopefully in a few days I'll be feeling well enough for a trip to my local garden centre to check the range of plants they have in stock.
I can't wait.
Enjoy your Easter Weekend, whatever the weather.

Young and Gifted were there too and the massed adult and youth S.O.U.L choir. Solid Harmony's performance went down a storm and the choir would like to thank iGospel for the opportunity to sing at this exciting venue as part of a heart felt day!

The posts to be displayed should have been maximum 20 days in the future…
So the plugin is now able to display the future posts of 'x' days (defined via an simple administration screen).
Well, here is the preview of how to add the psnGallery2 Admin in the WP Administration Panel….
Well, I have to admit that I have no more time (for the moment) to support effectively this plugin….
I will try to provide a new package with the latest updates soon.
Quickfix to try.
Try to replace the famous line 97 :

I wrote try because I can't reproduce on my side the issue…..
Give me your feedback !

ASA has guides and checklists which will help you stay in compliance with healthcare reform. We also have sample notices that you can use as opposed to starting from scratch.
COBRA Compliance – When an employee leaves employment, in some circumstances they are eligible for COBRA continuation of coverage. This can be complicated and ASA will walk you through what you need to do and what you need to offer to employee that have left employment.
Federal Compliance with Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs) – Most employers are not aware that there are specific requirements in what you have to provide to employees in the form of a Summary Plan Description when offering benefits. ASA will give you the guidance you need to provide the right information.
All of the services and guidance we provide as it relates to healthcare reform is at no cost when you have your health insurance through ASA.

Today, Split Airport has welcomed this year two-millionth passenger more than a month earlier than last year. The passenger arrived on Croatia Airlines flight OU654 from Zagreb. His/her name is Mrs.Lauren Douch.
It is the result of positive trend of growth in the passenger and air traffic numbers, particularly during the summer period. Namely, during first seven months, Split Airport records 24% growth of passenger traffic in relation to the same last year period. In July alone, 657.000 passengers passed through Split Airport, what represents the record one-month number of passengers in the history, not only of Split Airport, but of Croatian airports in general. According to air carriers, the trends of passenger and aircraft numbers growth will continue in the postseason, too.
On behalf of arrival of this year two-millionth passenger, Split Airport has organised a small party at which Mr. Luksa Novak, General Manager, congratulated the lucky passenger and presented her/him with the occasional gift, and, on behalf of Croatia Airlines, Mr. Boris Kolka, Sales and Marketing Manager, handed her/him two return tickets on one of their flights, at choice of Mrs.Lauren Douch.

Who's down for some cheap vacations this year! Summer is almost here, and if you're officially sick of chilly winter weather, we hear you. Which is why now is the perfect time to plan your summer vacation, so you have an adventure to look forward to as you suck up these last few weeks of unpredictable weather. And if you want to plan an epic getaway without an epic price tag, we're here to help. After all, summer travel is on the rise, with more and more people using their precious vacation time for trips during the summer months. According to a recent survey by Citibank, "on average, consumers who are full-time employees save more than one-third (37 percent) of their vacation days for the summer season. What's more, another 30 percent save more than half of their annual vacations days for the summer." And thanks to the law of supply and demand, with so many people trying to travel, it can be hard to save money when you book your vacation. In fact, "nearly 60 percent of travelers say they still exceed their summer getaway budget each year."
And while it can be easy to go over-budget, that doesn't mean it's impossible to plan a trip without breaking the bank. There are tips and tricks to help you plan a memorable summer trip for you and your friends or family, and you'll still have some money leftover to spend on whatever your heart desires—a bottle of scotch, tickets to a baseball game, or even your next adventure. Here are some clever ways to plan cheap vacations that will totally rock!
Read Related: Go Time: 8 of the Best Family Vacations for Spring and Summer
1. Plan a Road Trip
One of the fastest ways to jack up the price tag on your summer trip is to plan a voyage that requires airfare. Plane tickets can get really pricey and add on top of that the cost to check baggage and you'll blow through your budget pretty fast. Instead, plan a trip to somewhere within driving distance and make the road trip a part of the adventure. Caravan with friends and choose a destination that is close enough so you don't waste too much time on the road. Or better yet, map out several destinations along the way so every mile is a part of the adventure. And if you don't want to be bothered with driving but you do want to travel, you can book an adventure by train or bus using services like Wanderu.
2. Stay with Friends or do a House Swap
Save money on hotel rooms or home rentals, and instead do a home swap with friends. Reach out to friends or family members you can trust and who share your lifestyle and general values regarding home habits. After all, if you're going to stay in their home you want to know it's in good condition. And similarly, they'll be staying in your home, and you don't want them to trash the place. (Unless you plan to trash theirs, and then, by all means, go for it.)
3. Look for Summer Steals and Deals
Most online travel websites, travel agencies and even credit card rewards programs offer special deals for summer trips. Do your research before you book anything. Some sites offer one free night with a 4-night stay, and some have room rates locked in with specific resorts or hotel chains. Ask around, call your credit card rewards help desk and read up online to find the best deals for the season.
4. Look for Off-Season Destinations
Traveling to the most popular destinations is a guaranteed way to over-pay on your summer trip. After all, hotels and airlines aren't stupid. They know when they can charge more and get away with it, and if you try to book one of those top 10 vacation destinations you'll be forced to pay more than you would like. Instead, look into lesser known escapes or resorts and cities that are considered to be off-season.
5. Go Camping
Camping is a fun way to bond, explore, disconnect, unwind and have fun, without spending much money at all. Of course camping can get pricey—between the gear, access to camp grounds and travel you can spend plenty of money on a camping trip as well. But if you plan a trip with friends who are seasoned campers and who already have the experience and equipment you need, you can have a memorable getaway without spending a penny on room or board.
6. Book a Cruise
Cruise companies are always having special deals, especially during summer months when it's not peak season to visit the Caribbean or during hurricane season. Check out offers and savings so you can get the most bang for your buck with a cruise this summer. Plus, the best part about cruises is that you can see a lot and do a ton without ever the ship.
7. Waive Travel Insurance
While it might seem risky, in some instances you can waive travel insurance to save some money on your trip. If you are booking a vacation last minute or close to your departure date, and if you know that everyone in your party will be healthy and accounted for, then you can choose to not pay the travel insurance fees. Those fees add up quickly and typically that money goes down the drain.
8. Be Flexible About Your Timing
If you are willing to be flexible about what days of the week you travel and what times of day you fly, you can find cheaper deals on airfare and hotel stays. Try to search for vacations based on where you want to go, not what days you want to depart and return. Then from there you can seek out the best offers, which will usually be mid-week and not around a weekend.

As you may be aware, Second Harvest Food Bank has felt a tremendous effect on their resources as a result of the economy. Many of the products we used to receive from this agency are harder to get, if at all. This has caused the Pantry to dip into our financial reserves and has left us with fewer options. Moving forward, we will need to rely more on personal donations. Since we are quickly approaching the holidays, I would like to ask you to encourage your co-workers to donate food, time, or money to our pantry or another pantry that serves their community. A food drive at your work is easy, everyone can do it, and most likely your boss would not discourage you from doing it.If they tolerate the football pools, I doubt they would mind this. Please consider a food drive at your work. The list below are items that are always in need of so please concert your efforts on these items:
Hours of Operation:
Open the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 6 PM to 8 PM - except for church holidays.
The Pennsylvania Avenue Interfaith Food Pantry is located at St. Andrew's Church (see map) at 1900 Pennsylvania Ave., Allentown, PA 18109.
Mailing Address:
Pennsylvania Ave. Interfaith Food Pantry
PO Box 4243
Bethlehem, PA 18018-0243
Our Food Pantry is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and financial donations
should go directly to the Pennsylvania Avenue Interfaith Food Pantry.
· We could use food shopping volunteers to purchase essential groceries at Aldi,
Bottom Dollar, PriceRight or other local discount markets on a semi-regular basis.
· Donations of mac & cheese, peanut butter, jelly. soups, canned pasta (like Chef Boyardee),
boxed potato products, mac & cheese boxes, regular pasta & pasta
sauce, plus canned fruit and vegetables would be extremely welcome!
· If you have unexpired grocery store coupons, donate them to us so
others can share.
· Daytime volunteers are needed to help unload deliveries from Second
Harvest Food Bank and to stock shelves (usually on Thursday mornings).
Did you know?
Two years ago, when we first opened our food pantry, we had very few visitors – no one knew the Pennsylvania Ave. Interfaith Food Pantry even existed. However that soon changed.
Last year, the Pennsylvania Ave. Interfaith Food Pantry averaged 36 families – now we serve 62 families -quite an increase.
Unfortunately, with the economy and cutbacks to the Pennsylvania State budget, it has become difficult to keep our shelves stocked. Our empty shelves have a direct correlation to Pennsylvania's budget reductions.
Second Harvest, which supplies most of the food pantries in the area, has undergone serious funding cutbacks. For that reason, we need to rely even more on donor support to keep this mission functioning.

Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
From the streets of Chicago to far flung galaxies whirling through space, "Jupiter Ascending†is written and directed by the Wachowskis. Award-winning producer Grant Hill, with whom they have collaborated since "The Matrix†Trilogy, is producing, together with Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski.

My daughter, Miss O's hair is out of control. However, I don't want to cut it, so I'm on a mission to find something that will help manage it.
Thanks to the wonderful world of Pinterest there are no shortage of recipes available, but I really didn't want to waste time experimenting. Luckily I stumbled on a post in which a fellow blogger (no longer active) had gone through the trouble for me! I decided to go straight to the water and conditioner combo and add a couple of my go-to ingredients.
I filled the squirt bottles about 2/3 of the way up with warm water. (I have no idea if warm or cold matters, but I'd just done dishes so the water came out hot.) I added a couple teaspoons of apple cider vinegar because I, too, am obsessed with vinegar. Then I added a generous squeeze of my favorite conditioner and about 10 drops of tea tree oil. The tea tree oil is good for keeping lice away – a must have for kids in day care!
It smells heavenly and it makes combing Miss O's hair much less stressful for both of us.
