The growth of interactive internet sites over the past couple decades has lead to the blossoming of an industry specializing in user-generated pornography. This phenomenon has become known as "Porn 2.0," and has provided users an outlet to post photos and videos not only of themselves, but also of people who have not consented to the online distribution of these images. Over the past few years, this unintended consequence of user-generated pornography has morphed into a genre all unto itself, spawning websites that specialize in the publishing of pornographic audiovisual material of unsuspecting subjects. This has become known as "revenge porn" and has resulted in countless reputations sullied over the unauthorized posting of naked pictures.
Many groups have rallied to get support to end this practice, and have proposed and passed laws that aim to squash out this dark corner of the internet. However, much of the conversation thus far has revolved around the enactment of state criminal statutes, modeled after the one passed in California in late 2013. These statutes seek to punish the poster by imposing fines and misdemeanors, and let the website escape prosecution. In fact, the increased notoriety may even lead to a greater revenue due to advertising revenue tied to web traffic for these sites, and a wider audience would result in more harm to the victim.
Instead, reform should focus on the medium by which these posters can act, using copyright law to stymie and make operating these websites excessively unprofitable. Under copyright law, the taker of a photograph retains copyright in the photo, and can control its dissemination. Violations of copyright can result in statutory damages of up to 150 thousand dollars.
Yet current law shields websites from any copyright liability. The Communications Decency Act of 1996 effectively grants the website operators immunity from liability for third-party content. Specifically exempted from this blanket immunity provision is intellectual property, though intellectual property is subject to the notice and takedown requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Thus, provided that the website operators take down photographs, taken by the victim, without excessive delay, the combination of these two acts allows the websites to operate with impunity.
In order to reform this system, it is not necessary to rewrite these laws. Changing these broad statutes would upset years of legal precedent, and has the potential for adverse effects in other areas of the internet. Instead, secondary liability could be imposed that would allow the victims to present tort claims for the wrongs they suffered. The model for secondary liability in the copyright context could be MGM v. Grokster, 545 U.S. 913 (2005). That case involved the imposition of secondary liability on a website that operated to distribute music in the wake of the fall of Napster. According to that holding, secondary liability is predicated upon two elements: the defendant must have knowledge of the third party's infringing activity, and it must induce, cause, or materially contribute to the infringing conduct.
Secondary liability has the potential to accomplish two goals. First, establishing this tort could allow victims to recover tort damages, including pain and suffering, from the actual monetary beneficiaries of their pain. This would establish a much more generous recovery than is currently allowed by mere copyright law, and could go a long way to putting the victim back in her place before the injury. Second, the type of harm would be similar across different victims, and a class could be formed to recover for multiple victims in one suit. This could incentivize lawyers to pursue these actions, and could bring sufficient judgments to shut down the sites. Ultimately, a solution could be reached that would take these websites far from the public eye, lessening the pain for future victims and removing this scrooge from forefront of the internet.

Sales Strategy
You can scroll the shelf using ← and → keys
You can scroll the shelf using ← and → keys
Maybe you're still not convinced it's an effective selling tool, or you haven't yet hit your stride. Here are some suggestions for renewing your efforts.
Whether social media isn't working for you because you're not using it as much as you'd like to or at all, it's apparent that it is working for a great many businesses. Consider these statistics:
And consider this: Social media sites are threatening to take over search engines as the preferred venues for finding information online.
Back to Basics
So let's revisit some of the basics I've already discussed in this blog and throw in a few new ones. If you're not implementing these best practices, you may have a hard time attracting the audience you're looking for on social networks – and adding them to your lists of prospects and active customers.
Don't overdo the self-promotion. Your visitors will want information about what your products and services can do for them, but you can entertain, educate and serve them in other ways. Some experts follow the 80-20 rule (80 percent promotional and 20 percent non-promotional), but I prefer a 70-30 split.
Stuck for ideas? Start typing questions into Google Search that relate to your company's products or services and see what other queries people have entered. Answer these in social media posts.
Implement effective engagement tactics. Getting noticed above all of the noise on social media sites is challenging. You have to work twice as hard as you do when creating an email or an ad or a brochure because those vehicles don't have as much immediate competition for eyeballs. So:
Study your competitors. Learn ways to differentiate yourself from them. Pay attention to what's working for them.
Make your social media links ubiquitous. Put them everywhere your customers and prospects are likely to look.
Post content from other sources. You want your readers to think of you as an expert, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't bring in or link to content from other authorities. Your audience will appreciate your efforts to help.
Finally, tell visitors what you want them to do. Whether you want them to request a sample, download a fact sheet or white paper, subscribe to your mailing list or (obviously) buy something, spell it out for them and make it easy to comply.
A lot of your traffic may just exit with a helpful tip or a good feeling about your brand, but make it easy for them to leave their contact information with you. Some of these active visitors are your future customers.

Cortina is an excellent resort in the heart of the Dolomites with the most beautiful and dramatic scenery. It is a very upmarket and attractive town with many boutiques, restaurants and bars not to mention its idealistic, rustic style buildings. Many people come to the resort to shop, eat and enjoy the many off piste activities, including its swimming pool, saunas, health spa, art gallery, cinema and indoor tennis court. In high season the resort offers a lively social scene and is considered by some to be Italy's premier ski destination.
Skiing in Cortina
There is a good quantity of well maintained slopes; 52 excellent nursery slopes for beginners, 18 good long runs for intermediates and 8 challenging pistes for advanced skiers as well as access to the vast Dolomiti Ski pass area. There are 47 ski lifts comprising of; 29 chairlifts, 13 draglifts and 5 cable cars, the highest lift goes to 3248m and there is a good number of fast chairs scattered throughout the resort. There is 140km of pistes and the longest lift run is 9km. The nursery slopes on offer within the resort are situated in the Socrepes area and are ideal for those learning to both ski and snowboard. These slopes are wide, gentle and served by a fast chair lift, as well as being some of the biggest nursery slopes and best progression runs Italy has to offer. For intermediate skiers the runs at the top of Tofana are short but usually have the best snow, the red runs in the linked Pomedes area offer good cruising and some challenges. It is also well worth making the trip to Clique Torri for fast cruising on usually excellent north facing snow. Intermediate skiers should also be sure not to miss the wonderful 'hidden valley' an array of red runs accessible from the Passo Falzarego cable car. Expert skiers are truly in their element at this resort the more than decent amount of natural snow ensures plentiful off-piste skiing as well as adequate snow cover on the sunny black runs. The excellent Forcella from Tofana to Pomedes is a deservedly classified black run and goes though a gap in the rocks to reveal exquisite views of Cortina way down in the valley. But cortina's most serious challenge is the Staunies run at the top of the Cristallo area.
Location and Access
Cortina is located between the Veneto and Trentino Alto Adige regions, and is 162km from Venice. The closest airports are Treviso 135km away, Venezia 162km away, Innsbruck 165km away and Verona 260km away. The nearest train station is at Calalzo di Cadore which is 35km away, you can then transfer to Cortina by a connected bus service. There are also very good road links into Cortina making the resort easily accessible no matter what is your preferred travel method.
The resort is mainly dominated by hotels and B&B's, the town centre has 11 in total ranging from 5 star luxuries to more modest 2 star offerings. Some of the more upmarket hotels provide pampering spar facilities and VIP treatment, an excellent way to relax in warmth and splendour after a hard day on the slopes. The resort does also offer some traditional chalets and apartments if you wish to add an authenticity to your stay, however these are usually well outside of the town centre.
What to Pay
Ski passes cost from 34 euros per day for adults and 20 euros per day for children. A 6 day pass costs around 171 euros for an adult and 124 euros for a child. Ryanair fly to Traviso from £20 return.

And Above All – Establish Trust
For many years I've heard from patients across the country with questions about their healthcare. Not medical questions; rather questions about something in the healthcare system that isn't working the way they want, or expect it, to work. They can't get their doctors to answer their questions, or the insurance company has turned them down for a test or treatment, or they got a bill they didn't expect – or – ______ (fill in the blank with hundreds more questions!)
There is one theme that runs through every question; that is – a lack of trust. In every case, the reason they are turning to me is because they don't trust either an answer they've been given, or they don't trust the person or entity who gave them that answer, or both.
A trust gap has developed, a chasm really, that's growing wider, between patients and the traditional system of obtaining healthcare. The more they need, whether it's more medical care or more answers about that care, the less they are getting. That widening chasm represents rationing – of care and communication. The more care and communication are rationed, the more frustrated patients become and their trust erodes even further.
When vulnerable people can't trust, then they become desperate. That's often the point when they go in search of someone to help, and more and more frequently, that person they are hoping will help them is one of us – a patient advocate.
What's Next?
Two weeks ago, I worked with the staff at a large, local primary care practice teaching them some basic customer service-type skills to help them better manage their patients and, truthfully, improve their own job satisfaction, too. Nurses, receptionists, the referral group, billing and cashiers – clinical and non-clinical staff attended. From making lists of the things their patients complain about most (you guessed it – prolonged time in the waiting room), to determining what the benefits to managing things differently might be (fewer headaches for everyone), we arrived at some simple and no-cost approaches they could use.
Their assignment, then, was to begin implementing some of those ideas, to assess what did, or did not work, and to begin thinking themselves of ways they could improve that constant patient interface that can become so problematic for everyone.
Then, after ten days of practice, we came back together to debrief.
Now, I'll admit… I was a little nervous. I had no idea what to expect. Had it worked? Did they actually implement some of our ideas? And if they did, what was their assessment of success?
Turns out….
The Distinction that Can Make All the Difference
Many of you, despite the fact that you are excellent advocates with outstanding patient advocacy skills, will not succeed as private advocates, because you don't understand one important distinction.
Doesn't really seem right, does it?
So what's that distinction? Well, it ties into the ongoing discussion about who does, or does not, have the capability to provide the skills patients need, and who will, or won't, be able to do the work – that discussion about patients' needs and fulfilling those needs.
Let's look at it this way first:
Colleen has always loved houses, and has been the admin in a real estate company for almost 30 years. She has handled details upon details for others – from seller contracts to purchaser contracts, from arranging for home showings, to making phone calls to rustle up inspectors, to retrieving signs from a "sold" property's front yard. She knows her stuff, she's done it all, she's seen it all, and now she's decided she wants to do real estate work on her own. So Colleen quits her job, and goes into business for herself.
Colleen approaches her business very professionally, doing all the stuff she thinks she's supposed to do. She makes up business cards and some flyers. She builds a website. She lets everyone in her neighborhood and her church know that she's got decades of real estate experience, and now she's ready to help them list or buy a house. Yes, her phone rings on occasion, but… The business just doesn't come in to support her well enough. Eventually she takes a part time job so she can pay some of her bills. But, of course, if she's at work at her part time job, and people call her for help right away, she misses the opportunity.
Six months later, Colleen is forced to give up her dream of being in business for herself, doing what she loves and is passionate about. She can't support herself and the phone just doesn't ring often enough. But she just doesn't understand it – Colleen can't figure out why she can't build a business.
What Colleen missed, the reason she can't succeed, is the same reason many of you who read this will go out of business, too. Until you recognize it and act on it, you are doomed to fail (unless, of course, you win the lottery and can be a patient advocate for free, with no worry about income….)
Tooting Your Own Horn, and Playing a Tune People Want (and Need) to Hear
My last two posts have focused on why it's important for those who want to succeed as private patient advocates realize that their success won't rely on just their advocacy skills. The bottom line is that success is NOT about an advocate's skills. Success is dependent on the balance of perception, needs and knowledge on the part of potential clients and the capabilities of advocates to fulfill them. And that means that success is dependent on the advocate's understanding of how to run and promote a business.
In other words: Succeeding in the business of private patient advocacy requires two things: good advocacy and good business. Neither can stand by itself. Good advocacy without business won't succeed. Good business without good advocacy won't succeed.
Last week, we took a look at two representative advocates to illustrate the concept; Dorothy Anderson is a former NICU nurse who hopes to help families with at-risk newborns make their transition home as safe and healthy as possible. Kurt Schaefer is a former hospital billing specialist who hopes to help people reduce their hospital and other medical bills. Both have impeccable skill sets and capabilities. But neither is succeeding – because they are not business-minded.
For balance sake, let's try a third example. Katherine Lee is an entrepreneur who has decided patient advocacy is an up-and-coming field. Her business sense tells her that she can hire people with minimal skill sets, teach them how to be advocates, begin working on insurance plans to try to corral reimbursements, and pretty soon she'll be chunking off her own pieces of the health insurance money pie.
It will probably upset you to learn that Katherine has a much better chance of initial success than either Dorothy or Kurt does.

Are you using Google Classroom, but spending an inordinate amount of time grading and helping students understand their progress? This is where a tool like Kiddom can come to your rescue! Over the course of the next few weeks, we'll be sharing pro tips for power users seeking to take their use of education technology to the next level.
Pro Tip #1: Helping Students Track and Act on Progress
You might be using Google Classroom and wondering, "Why would I want to transfer my assignments into Kiddom?" To make sense of this, consider the following questions:
- Do I have access to a gradebook in Google Classroom?
- Can I track individual student progress on standards in Google Classroom?
- Do students have access to progress reports in Google Classroom?
Your answers to these three questions are probably no.
While Google Classroom provides a great way for students to receive content, it doesn't (yet) provide a way for students to measure their progress and therefore, take some ownership over their learning experience.
By using Kiddom's Google Drive integration, you can take everything you've set up in Google Classroom and transfer it to Kiddom's Planner; doing this provides you and your students access to progress reports that they wouldn't otherwise have in Google Classroom.
Unlike using Google Drive and Classroom, with Kiddom you don't have to download multiple third-party apps in order for it to give you the classroom intelligence and reporting that you and your students need. It's all housed within the Kiddom K-12 operating system.
Giving Google Drive a Standards-Based Boost
Does your school or state require your assessments be standards-aligned? You probably noticed there is no standards tracking in Google Classroom or Drive. That's again where Kiddom comes in: you can attach your Drive assessments to Kiddom assignments, attach relevant standards, and voila: you're now tracking student progress while using all the material you already created in Drive. The best part? It's all in one place!
How do you attach and grade standards with your Drive assignments? Check out these three easy steps below:
Step 1: Create an assignment in Kiddom and attach the Drive document you want to assign to your students.
Step 2: Click on "attach standards" in the assignment options.
Step 3: Search and add (check) the standards you want to attach to the drive assignment, and click save.
If you want to make it really easy to attach standards to your assignments, visit your class settings and add standards to be tracked in your class. Now, when you go to attach standards in an assignment, the standards that you are tracking in your class settings will appear for you. One less step towards analyzing student performance… nice, right?
Kiddom's intelligence reports also create easy to interpret, beautiful graphs and progress reports for each student in your class, including their progress on each standard you've assigned with your assignments. Using Google Drive, you'd have to manually track those standards, but if you use Kiddom and Google together, it's a match made in heaven!
What can super-charging Google Drive assignments with Kiddom intelligence reports do for your students? Here are a couple of ideas:
1. Offer students a voice during conferences: Whether it's student-teacher conferences or parent-teacher conferences, your students will be able to lead the conversations and talk about their academic growth and areas in need of improvement. Kiddom's reports make it easy for students to track their progress by allowing them access to it 24/7.
2. Offer students ownership: If you have students doing independent, inquiry-driven work in your classroom, you know that it's hard to keep up with the timely feedback and conferences required to keep students excelling. That's where Kiddom reports come in: they can follow their progress with each benchmark assignments submitted/evaluated as soon as you grade the assignment. With the ability to track their progress toward certain skill sets (Standards Based Grading), students will know what they need to focus on, day after day and week after week.
Ready for more tips? Check out the next post in this series, Transforming Drive Folders Into Organized Curriculum.

Nassau and Suffolk continue to rank among the healthiest counties in the state, a study has found.
The sixth annual study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin, released Wednesday, ranked Nassau fifth and Suffolk 15th for overall health among New York's 62 counties.
Last year, Nassau was sixth and Suffolk 15th -- which it has been for the past four years.
For the third year in a row, Nassau ranked No. 1 in the "health factors" category, which includes smoking and obesity.
Nassau also ranked first in "clinical care," "social and economic" and "physical environment factors," such as clean water.
"This report is a testament to the combined efforts of government, businesses, health care providers, schools and community-based organizations working together to improve the health and safety of Nassau County residents," County Executive Edward Mangano said in a statement.
For the past four years, Suffolk has ranked eighth in health factors.
Nassau ranked third in the state for "length of life" and 20th overall for quality of life.
Suffolk ranked 11th for "length of life" and 23rd for "quality of life," which includes such indicators as low-birth weight babies and the percentage of residents in poor or fair health.
Statewide, Rockland County ranked first and the Bronx last in overall health.

text: Over the past few months I have been optimising the content of a website to try to achieve the highest possible results in the main search engines (http://www.purebean.com.au/ ). After trial and error I have found that the guidelines described below seems to work the best. When populating the page content with keywords, you want to contain your keywords in your content as much as possible, without going too overboard. The reason being that if you include your keywords too much then the search engines will identify your page as spam which will have a negative affect on your rankings. This is to prevent those pages that contain nothing but keywords and advertisements from finding themselves highly ranked in the search engines. I have found that a good keyword to content percentage to aim for is about 2-3%, when your page content is between 300 - 1200 words. A good online tool to use to check the keyword to content % of your page is "Live Keyword Analysis", http://www.live-keyword-analysis.com/, which allows you to type up to three of your keywords, in three field located at the top of the page, and paste your page content in a rich text field in the body of the page. The page then computes the % ratio that your keywords are included in the content of your page. I find it quiet a useful tool as helps me refine my content and lets me know if I am going over the top by including too many keywords or if I need to add the keywords a few more times. I also recommend that you keep the contents of your pages between 300 and 1200 words as a guide, as having too much content on one page can prevent the search engine spiders from indexing your whole page and also turn your readers away. Stick to these guidelines when you are writing your page content and you can be happy knowing that you are doing as much as you can do, in relation to optimising page content, to get high rankings in the search engines.

There are quite a number of traditionally paired saints in Eastern Orthodox iconography — Zosima and Savvatiy, Cosmas and Damian, Florus and Laurus, and so on.
Today I would like to briefly discuss another prominent pair of saints. Their names in latinized form are Sergius and Bacchus.
Traditionally, Sergius and Bacchus were supposed to have been Roman soldiers and secret Christians martyred in the 4th century because they refused to sacrifice to the gods. Their names were included in early accounts of martyrs, and they were popularly venerated as early as the 5th century. So they may actually have existed.
Oddly enough, Sergius and Bacchus are best known today as "gay" icons, and some newly-painted images with that focus depict them in rather more intimate closeness than the majority of older icons. This is due to a book written in the late 20th century that, with dubious scholarship, presented the premise that Sergius and Bacchus were a romantically homosexual couple.
Actually, though they have a centuries-long history of veneration in Eastern Orthodoxy and in Catholicism, to me the most interesting thing about Sergius and Bacchus is that they apparently never existed at all as the traditional lives of saints depict them. The Catholic Encyclopedia states "their existing Acts are not genuine," which is a polite way of saying that the accounts of their lives and martyrdom are as historical as Pinocchio. Eastern Orthodoxy, however, has never reviewed its vast list of saints to try to separate those who are "fake" from those who did exist, so there are quite a number of saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church calendars and icons today who — like Sergius and Bacchus — have fictional life stories or who did not exist at all.
Nonetheless, Sergius and Bacchus can still be put to some practical use in helping improve ability to read Greek icon inscriptions, so let's take a look at some examples.
Here is a 16th-century fresco of the pair by Theophanes the Cretan, found in the Lavra of Athanasios on Mount Athos. Note that each holds a cross, signifying martyrdom for the Christian faith.
The title inscriptions should be easy for you to read if you have been following my earlier postings on reading Greek inscriptions.
Here is the left inscription:
By now you should know that the three letters at upper left stand for Ο ΑΓΙΟC — Ho Hagios — meaning "The Holy." Below that is the saint's name, written partly to his left, partly to his right: CΕΡΓΙΟς — Sergios.
And here is the right inscription:
We see the same Ho Hagios abbreviation at upper left, and below is the saint's name: ΒΑΚΧΟC — Bakkhos, which we usually see in its latinized form, Bacchus. You will recall that the letter X (chi) in Greek has the rough, gutteral pronunciation of the last ch in the name of the composer Bach.
That was really easy, so here is something more challenging, the inscription from another Mount Athos fresco of the martyrdom of Sergius and Bacchus, this time by the 16th-century Cretan painter Tzortzis:
It is quite gruesome, as are many scenes of martyrdom in Eastern Orthodox iconography, so let's concentrate on the title inscription at the top:
It reads:
If we separate the words in that, we get:
Martyrion Ton Hagion Sergiou Kai Bakkhou
Martyrdom of-the Holy Sergios and Bakkhos
As you can see, the word Hagios and names Sergios and Bakkhos take on different grammatical endings here.
You should know that the Greek word μαρτύριον (martyrion) originally meant a testimony, as in giving one's testimony or witness; it gradually took on the looser meaning of "martyrdom" — being killed for one's testimony or cause.
Here is a less sophisticated 17th century icon of Sergios and Bakkhos, from the Khilandari Monastery on Mount Athos:

When we're first getting familiar with how manifesting works, we often set in motion a lot of dreams that we don't really want.
We set in motion dreams that come from ego, from mind, from personality:
• My bucket list is this.
• I will accomplish this.
• I will manifest this.
And yet, when we act outside of Divine guidance, when we create from mind/ego/personality, instead of from the sweet Divine guidance that is our true destiny… we often manifest things we don't really want.
We just think we want them.
How many times have you wanted something SO BAD, and then by the time it comes to fruition, you realize: I don't want that any more.
You have grown past it:
• I want to live in this place.
• I want to work at this job.
• I want to be with this lover.
• I want to travel to this country.
• I want to do this accomplishment.
And you get there, and the Universe, which has been carefully creating your manifestation all this time, delivers it to you with bells on and you realize: uh oh… that's an old dream.
You've grown past it.
The things we really want are always connection, engagement, love. We want to know we are doing our dharma; that we are in alignment with our soul destiny.
We want to do the work we came here to do.
We want to be in the relationships we came here to be in.
We want to have the experiences that expand us as souls.
The rest of it… it's all the ego/mind/personality swirling around in distraction.
If you sense that old dreams are showing up in your life, don't hem and haw and wait to see how things play out.
Unhook from them as soon as you understand what's happening.
Let the Universe know where you are now.
Let go of mind/personality/ego creations.
Move on to the deeper soul work the Universe is guiding you toward.
Much love,

I love this. Focus on the deeper soul work we were created for - where your focus goes, energy flows. I just recently went through a confusing spiral of bringing forth a creation and then wondering why I even felt so consumed in creating it when it had nothing to do with my deeper sense. It was an interesting discovery, but now I am intentionally using my energy to focus on what my soul earns for.
Great post and got me thinking. How do you know what your deeper soul work is? How can you know and see/feel/sense the guidance within that is guiding you to your soul work? Is it about just being quiet and listening, letting go the resistance go of controlling life and allow yourself to be guided. But how do you know its the right way? I read once that soul guidance is gentle and reassuring rather than aggressive and fearful?

That is so true, Debbie. We spend all this time creating, and then when it arrives we think "what was I thinking?". The key is, we were thinking....
3/25/2017 09:53:58 am
Thank you, Jane. There are so many ways to hear and know Divine guidance. Yes, being still. But also very specific ways of receiving visions, symbolism, synchronicities. There is an absolute language to how the Universe speaks to us. So... this can be learned, and it is what I teach in all my courses and Intuition University. It is a language, and when we start to learn it, it becomes so simply to receive what the Universe is telling you.

Hi Rebecca; soul work as our biggest calling, our true destiny. The path of soul growth as why we are here.

The candidate statements for the contested executive committee positions and the Unit 2 BT run-off can be found below.
Recording Secretary
Gizem Çakmak
I am an international student and a labour activist who is dedicated to social unionism and the defense of our livelihoods. For the past year, I have been your Recording Secretary. In that capacity, I have shown a track record of excellent minute taking. Beyond routine tasks, I have accomplished the following:
- Revamped the policy manual,
- Communicated with CUPE National to get our bylaws up to date,
- Started the work on the bargaining-strike manual,
- Kept past minute approvals up to date,
- Executed research for bargaining and prepared the local's bargaining timeline,
- Supported Unit 4 bargaining.
As a member of the Executive Committee, I have also served as Labour Management Committee representative, signing authority, member of the team confronting the fellowship model and tuition offset arbitration.
In addition to my experience as the Recording Secretary/Research Officer, I have a wide variety of experiences in our local. In 2015-2016, I was Chief Steward Unit 1 and member of the Grievance Committee. In 2014, I was pro-tem Trans Feminist Action Caucus co-chair. Leading up to and during the 2015 strike, I was an active member of the Bargaining Mobilization and Strike Committees.
My involvement in 3903 has helped me to get well-versed on our collective agreements, bylaws, the CUPE National constitution, and our agreement with CUPE 1281 (the union that represents our staff). The Recording Secretary must have a strong grasp of these documents because the position requires more than taking minutes and setting agendas. It also involves doing research, organizing and filing documents, helping the Archive Committee, maintaining our policies up-to-date, and liaising with CUPE National.
Furthermore, my political values align with those of this local. As an intersectional feminist, the fight against all forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and transphobia is an integral part of my social unionism.
In a bargaining year, the duties of the Recording Secretary are essential to the orderly running of our bargaining efforts. Due to my proven experience and dedication to our local, I hope you vote for me. Looking forward to participating together!
Dan O'Hara
Upholding the principles and legacy of CUPE 3903 through the position of Recording Secretary requires more than minute-taking.
The Recording Secretary needs to be committed to creating an environment that encourages member participation and active interest in the local and bargaining process. An effective recording secretary also needs to help develop a research program that can aid the Executive, Bargaining Team, and Bargaining Mobilization Committee. My solid understanding of the university's official decision making structures and unofficial community networks enables me to fulfill these responsibilities and bring a unique and useful perspective to the CUPE 3903 Executive, and, as such, am asking for your support.
To summarize my qualifications, detailed further below:
- I have experienced and fought against instances of university repression of political speech.
- As a campus organizer, I can help to activate student networks in solidarity with 3903.
- I possess working knowledge of York's governing structures, including the Board of Governors.
- My academic work positions me well to aid the bargaining team with effective research.
Firstly, I have worked with clubs, organizations, and institutions at York University to study the documents that outline the rights that we have on campus, and to ensure that we are protected from abuses of authority by university administrators, including instances of punishment for political speech.
Secondly, I am familiar with the networks of political, cultural, and social groups on campus. This knowledge stems from years of organizing with Students Against Israeli Apartheid, as well as contributing to the founding of the YU Divest campaign to pressure the university to divest its endowment fund from weapons manufacturers. This knowledge will be useful in mobilizing critical undergraduate support networks throughout our bargaining process.
Thirdly, during the 2015 strike, rank and file CUPE 3903 members mobilized to elect me to a two-year position on York's Board of Governors as the graduate student representative. Being the only critical voice on a board dominated by corporate interests has been a sobering and alienating experience, as I was repeatedly reminded of the limits of the position. Nevertheless, one of the advantages is that I can now help to shed light on of some of the most important and daunting of York's governing structures and institutional practices.
Lastly, my research as a Political Science PhD student traces neoliberal transformations in the structure of university governance. My academic work means that I am well-positioned to support our bargaining team with effective research.
Thank you for reading, and I hope I have your vote!
Chief Steward Unit 1
Karl Gardner
Hello, my name is Karl Gardner and I'm hoping you'll elect me as Chief Steward Unit 1. I am an organizer and educator in Toronto, primary connected to migrant justice and Indigenous solidarity movements in the city. Having an MA and pursuing a PhD in Political Science at York, I have been an active member of CUPE 3903 for almost 4 years. A majority of my union-related work has been through the First Nations Solidarity Working Group, as I believe that making connections between different struggles can only make us stronger.
At it's core, being a Chief Steward is being an organizer. It's about bringing people together, engaging in collective education, and building community. This task is especially important as we move into a bargaining year.
As an organizer with No One Is Illegal-Toronto and a Toronto group committed to supporting Grassy Narrows First Nation, I have the skills necessary to do this job right. Beyond convening Stewards Council meetings and CUPE barbecues, I will:
- Engage departments traditionally pushed out of union politics
- Organize Contract and Collective Bargaining Workshops for Stewards and Unit 1 members to ensure we enter bargaining with a strong, informed membership
- Ensure clear and accountable lines of communication between Unit 1 members and the CUPE 3903 Executive
- Strengthen connections between CUPE 3903 and the Steward's Council and movements in the city
Thanks for your consideration!
Harjot Singh Deol
Hello, my name is Harjot Singh Deol and I am running for the position of Chief Steward Unit 1. As a Masters candidate in the Faculty of Science, I hope to represent and help mobilize graduate students from my home Faculty and across the University during the upcoming round of collective bargaining. Several critical issues will be negotiated in 2017, including the implication of the new funding model, tuition fees for international students, health benefits and equity provisions. Unit 1 must form a strong monolithic force to face the employer and succeed in negotiating a substantively improved contract.
As an active member of the Childcare Committee in 2016/17 and a regular attendee of Union meetings throughout the year, I learned a great deal about how our local works and how vital its role is to graduate students' working conditions. I very well understand the critical role chief stewards will play in engaging union members in the bargaining process this year. If elected, I will strive to educate Unit 1 members about our collective agreement rights and inform them about what's at stake during contract negotiations. I will organize informational sessions for students in individual departments and work closely with departmental stewards and stewards' council to mobilize and energize our members. I will particularly focus on mobilizing the departments in the Faculty of Science that in the past were poorly engaged in the Union. I believe explaining to every graduate student the critical importance of the bargaining process and getting them involved in the Union's work is key to successful contract negotiations.
To achieve these goals, I will draw on my past activist and volunteer experience. As a student activist throughout my undergraduate years here at York I have advocated for the right to affordable and accessible education. I have mentored new students in the ScienceFirst program and was a science tutor helping struggling students succeed academically in the university environment and reach their potential. In addition, I have several years of experience in community organizing in the context of political, religious and cultural events in my community outside of York. I intend to utilize my skills and experience to bring TOGETHER Unit 1 members across departments, faculties, and campuses to form a STRONGER VOICE during the bargaining year!
Please contact me at email@example.com if you have questions about my candidacy, or to share your ideas about union stewardship.
Unit 2 bargaining team
Waseem Malik
My name is Waseem Malik and I am unit 2 member. I am running for the bargaining
team membership. I need your support to be part of it. My top priority, if won,
will be to negotiate, bargain and fight for our right to job security and
protect our members' best interests. Vote me.
Thank you.
Maria Wallis
I have been an active member of CUPE 3903 for over a decade, serving as VP Unit 2, Grievance Officer, member of the Ways and Means, the Extended Health, and the Employment Equity Committees, and the Race and Ethnic Relations LMC. Many in this local know my daughter, Rose, who has walked the picket line too. With others, I helped our members get the 2010 Equity Report (see CUPE 3903's website). This report helped us organize and achieve the inclusion of LGBT in the Employment Equity categories, and the current focus on 'intersectionality'. With others, I have been working in the Employment Equity Committee this year to make intersectionality a reality.
I also have over 15 years of community activism in Toronto. I have organized and mobilized around poverty, racism and sexism. Rather than fall for the old 'divide and conquer' strategy, I have worked towards the building of coalitions and alliances. My vision? That 'Another World is Possible.'
We have concerns to address again in this round of collective bargaining around graduate students' and international students' tuition fees and funding packages. We must work to ensure that higher education is accessible for all. Education is a right. A united CUPE 3903 will be the greatest challenge to our intransigent employer.
Unit 2 issues revolve around job security, and our quality of life. We have seen the undermining of seniority in our collective agreement in the employer's interpretation of qualifications. There are major issues of accountability and transparency in our hiring procedures, in the conversion, LSTA, and CSS programs. Class sizes have grown, and tutorials have been cut. This not only erodes our work, but also intensifies it. We work more but earn less.
Unit 2 members' needs across all seniority levels must be balanced if we are to be strong before the employer in this important round of bargaining. It will be especially critical to build opportunities for contract faculty at the new Markham campus. I will work hard to continue building and enhancing Unit 2 job security measures, as well as improving program and benefit funds. I bring considerable experience to the bargaining table. I have seen how the employer bargains and I can put my years of experience to work if you provide me with the opportunity. I ask for your support and your vote. Thank you for your consideration.

The Morgan Motel once provided weary travelers on their way to Mount Rainier a place to stay. According to many neighbors, the motel at 7031 Pacific Ave. degenerated over the years into a well-known hub of crime, drug use and prostitution.
In December, the Morgan's business license was suspended, and it was forced to close. It hasn't been open since.
Residents say that's a very good thing. Seediness has gone down, and safety has gone up.
Scroll down to continue reading
More news from KIRO 7
- Police say 3 killed in violent crash caused by DUI suspect
- Woman jailed for Facebook post criticizing ex-husband, a deputy sheriff in Georgia
- Marysville mom will be deported, separated from three daughters
- With family returning to Mexico, man wants northwest judge to deport him
- Bremerton woman fights off man trying to steal truck with child inside
But with the looming prospect that the Morgan might soon return to business, folks in the neighborhood are getting antsy. In recent days, more than 1,500 people have signed an online petition demanding the Morgan stay shuttered.
Many are asking why the city would even consider allowing the Morgan to reopen.
They're not wrong to ask. Over the years, the property has been home to no shortage of nefarious activity.
Recent history provides a long list of low points.
In March 2013, 42-year-old Donald Phily was gunned down in Room 8 of the Morgan. Prosecutors described the murder as a robbery gone wrong.
In March 2017, a man angered after two women staying at the Morgan apparently denied him sex drove his pickup truck into the motel. Then, he threw a large rock at one woman's head.
Tacoma Police investigated illegal drug activity at the Morgan Motel in October 2016, and January, March and May 2017. Ultimately two arrests were made as a result of the May 2017 investigation.
That same month, the Morgan was temporarily closed, and The News Tribune reported that police had received 171 calls for service related to criminal activity at the motel since January 2016.
Finally, in December, the Morgan had its business license suspended — yet again — this time after high levels of methamphetamine contamination were found at the motel.
As of today, that's where things stand.
But, in recent months, a cleanup of the property has been undertaken.
Tacoma Pierce County Health Department spokeswoman Edie Jeffers said the agency is waiting for lab results showing it has successfully mitigated the methamphetamine contamination. When the health department receives and reviews those results, it could deem the property fit for use, Jeffers said.
It then will be up to the city to reinstate the Morgan's suspended business license. Danielle Larson, the City of Tacoma's Tax and License manager, said she expects that to happen once the health department gives the city the go-ahead. While the department will continue to monitor the property to ensure it's complying with Tacoma municipal code, there's very little the city can do to prevent the hotel from reopening as long as the cleanup is deemed successful, she said.
That is what scares residents.
According to Richard Gardner, a retired military officer who's lived in the neighborhood 12 years, life has improved dramatically since the Morgan's business license was suspended.
"It is basically blight and an attractor for bad elements. I would never have anyone in my family stay in the place," said Gardner, 56. "We've definitely seen an improvement in the area since it closed."
"Oh my gosh! We couldn't believe how much less crime we had in our area," added 59-year-old Paul Chromey, a retired truck driver and Safe Streets volunteer who lives blocks away from the Morgan.
Both Gardner and Cromey said they don't see the Morgan's ownership changing the way it does business and were blunt when asked what an ideal outcome might look like.
"Most people do not like the place, is a nice way of putting it," Gardner said. "I'd like to see the whole thing razed and something else go in there."
Multiple attempts to reach the Morgan's owner were unsuccessful.
It's not just concerned residents sounding the alarm. New District 5 Councilman Chris Beale has taken up the cause just like his predecessor Joe Lonergan did.
Beale said this week that he's hoping to find "creative solution" to dealing with the Morgan instead of just reinstating the motel's business license and waiting for problems to return.
He wants to "challenge the owners" to "be good actors," he said.
"We really need to go through the process to make sure we're turning the screw on the Morgan and scrutinizing the application as much as possible," Beale said.
The new councilman said he also hopes to explore a number of other remedies — including possible legislative fixes and potential redevelopment ideas that would better serve the neighborhood.
"My hope is that the city will stand up to the Morgan and the issues that we know have been pretty endemic to how it has operated over the years," Beale said. "That's what's being asked of me from my constituents.
"The neighborhood hasn't been safer in a number of years. We want to sustain these gains."
All things considered, it sure doesn't seem like too much to ask.

By Wallace McBride, Fort Jackson LeaderMarch 20, 2014
FORT JACKSON, S.C. (March 20, 2014) -- A Fort Jackson firefighter has been named IMCOM Atlantic Region's Fire Officer of the Year.
"My guys do all the work," said the post's Assistant Fire Chief Scott Dollman, who was among more than 100 officers in the region nominated for the honor. "It's just my name on the piece of paper."
"Dollman is a premier fire officer, and we are quite pleased to have him here at Fort Jackson," said Eric Harper, Fort Jackson fire chief. "He is technically superb, forward-thinking and leads with a spirit of teamwork and great care for our Soldiers and civilians."
Dollman's firefighting career spans 24 years, beginning with a four-year stint as a firefighter for the Air Force. He admits the job was far from his first choice.
"Being a firefighter was my seventh out of eight choices," Dollman said. "I kind of fell into this job."
Since then, he's worked for the Columbia Airport, Charleston Air Force Base, volunteered for a fire station in Irmo, and worked at the South Carolina Fire Academy for eight years as an adjunct instructor. He said there aren't many differences between working as a civilian and a military firefighter.
"Obviously, the run volume is a bit slower," he said of military work. "Working on a military installation is nice, because you're doing it for the people who work there and the families who live there. I've volunteered and worked municipal departments. It's similar, but it's nice to work for DoD and military families."
The post's fire department provides support for Moncrief Army Community Hospital's emergency medical services, but also has responsibility for all structural response calls, technical rescue and situations involving hazardous materials.
"Moncrief Army Community Hospital has the mission for medical, but we have a rescue truck and, all of our guys are EMTs," he said. "Any hazard you can think of on Fort Jackson, the fire department is directly responsible for."
Being a firefighter requires discipline and commitment from all involved, he said.
"We spend half of our life in the fire station," Dollman said. "It's hard for families, especially for wives and young kids. When (the spouses) get married, they marry the fire services, too, because we miss a lot of birthdays, Christmas, all the holidays. It definitely takes a strong family."
Dollman's responsibilities have changed since arriving at Fort Jackson.
"When I first started here, I rode backwards and rode in the rescue truck quite a bit," he said. "There are days we run 20 or 30 calls, most of them medical calls, and it wears you out ... especially in the summertime. There are days that are long, but it's fun, too. But I don't get to do that too much anymore. I ride in the command vehicle now."
Despite the stress and long hours, a career as a firefighter offers surprises and variety to the day. Dollman said this aspect of the job is what he loves most.
"Every day is a new challenge," Dollman said. "The fire service is ever evolving, so there are always new things to learn. Where I'm at now in my career, from a leadership standpoint, is teambuilding ... working with the guys to recognize their strengths and weaknesses so they can translate that back to the community."
His status as Atlantic Region's Fire Officer of the Year means he will compete against all other IMCOM region winners in the next round.
"Prior to my arrival in January of 2013, he was the interim fire chief for several months and his knowledge and professionalism made it so I was able to integrate into the department seamlessly," Harper said. "This award is quite the honor, as there can be 100 to 180 fire officers in IMCOM's Atlantic Region, and we always knew he was among the best. Now he'll go on to compete for all of IMCOM and if chosen, he'll move on to Army and then to the DoD."

TEFL Jobs in Indonesia
Indonesia is a great country to look for English teaching jobs as it has the fourth highest population in the world. TEFL jobs are abundant throughout the country; in fact, there are often more teaching positions available than there are teachers to fill them.
The most plentiful job market can be found on the main island of Java, particularly in the capital city, Jakarta. However, you will also find TEFL jobs on many of the other islands that make up Indonesia, such as Bali. Teaching positions are available in both private language schools, as well as state run schools.
How to Find TEFL Jobs in Indonesia
As many teaching positions in Indonesia are advertised on TEFL related websites, it is often possible to secure a TEFL job before you arrive in the country. Before you accept any job offer, there are a few questions you should always ask to avoid any unpleasant surprises once you start work. Obviously, you need to ask questions regarding your salary or hourly pay rates, as well as any levels of compensation for travel time and expenses that might be available. You should also enquire about the availability of school resources for lesson planning and teaching materials. Other questions regarding the need for work permits or visas, as well as how much help the school will provide with this are also advisable. Finally, you should ensure that you get all the important details confirmed in a written contract.
Many TEFL positions in Indonesia come with accommodation included in the job package. The quality of this accommodation may not always be of a good standard so you should always inspect it first, before you agree anything. It is often better to look out for jobs that provide a housing allowance instead.
TEFL Job Requirements
In order to obtain a work visa for Indonesia you need to possess a TEFL certificate from a well-known course provider. Some teaching positions will also require a university degree, while many will not. However, the TEFL industry in Indonesia is generally very flexible so a positive attitude and a good sense of humour are often seen as equally valuable.
In order to enter Indonesia, you are required to have a return ticket out of the country. It is common practice in Indonesia for schools to pay back half the ticket price after three months of employment, with the rest of the fare reimbursed on completion of your contract.
TEFL Job Expectations
The abundance of jobs means that Indonesia is generally seen as a great place to start your TEFL career. While it is true that teaching salaries are lower than many other countries in the region, this is balanced out by the low cost of living. Your teaching salary may mean that you are unable to save a great deal of money; however, you should still earn enough to be able to live a comfortable lifestyle by local standards.

Doug Adams and Ari Kaplan started Association of Clinical Excellence (ACE) in early 2015. After years of teaching and mentoring, they realized one of the largest challenges rehabilitation professionals face is translating academic knowledge and experience into tangible application on a daily basis.
Our goal at ACE is to make excellent results possible for all clinicians. ACE teaches the latest in Physical Therapy knowledge utilizing technology and adult learning concepts to help you get the most out of our courses.
With the upcoming changes in healthcare, bundled payments and Accountable Care Organizations, Physical Therapist and other Rehabilitation Professionals are in a unique position to take on new leadership roles. In our belief, PTs will often be looked at as a leader in this emerging healthcare system. This will require PTs to push themselves to develop new clinical and leadership skills. This cannot be done alone, and ACE was created as place for PTs to gather and grow together.
We invite you to join us in our pursuit of excellence. There is no easy path to excellence, which is why we have created ACE as a trusted guide to be there with you on your journey.

Tap the Box : Simple and fun physics-based puzzle game
Do you like to play physics-based games like Angry Birds? Here's a really nice one : Tap the Box
We maybe already played physics-based games like Angry Birds and we know it could be very fun to experiment with physics on our Android device.
The main screen let you enable/disable music and sound or start the game.
You can choose which level you want to start to play. The first few levels are very easy in order to teach you how to play it.
The target of the game is let the gem fall down on the gold box. To do that you have to tap on boxes to destroy them or swipe on ropes to cut them.
You need to use physics as much as possible to get the job done.
If the gem fall down on the floor you'll lose the match. It's simple, but the difficulty will increase over multiple levels.
Here's a screenshot to show what happens after I cut a rope and the boxes are falling apart.
There are 80 levels to complete and 240 stars to earn. You earn stars when you complete a level.
Here's the link to download the game:

oh crap....did you write this for me? My boring pillow? ;)ReplyDelete
I do struggle with this. I am lazy, but thankfully & honestly, sewing(even though I do still tend to go the lazy route) has taught me to try harder. It's helped me to focus & is the one thing that actually helps me to finish projects that I otherwise wouldn't- I have ADD & have always struggled in that area, but sewing, for some reason, is like a therapy & makes me want to do better & try harder.
I'm curious if this message would get thru to the nay-sayers - you know, the "but I don't have time for much more than sewing charm squares together" people. Some people really are content to be average.ReplyDelete
I agree with your overall philosophy, even if I don't always practice what I'm preachin' (you've managed to induce some guilt to go back & see if I can fix something in a block I made recently - thank you for that, lol!). And don't get me started on sloppy wonky - I actually don't like the word "wonky" associated with deliberate improv piecing, but think it's a completely appropriate term for lazy sewing.
eeeekkkk I'm like commenter #1 wondering if this was written at me .. .. .. were my bee blocks wrong did I do something crooked?ReplyDelete
I do always do my best, but I wonder if my best is what someone else's best is?
This is a fantastic reminder. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in getting things done and forget about getting it done right!ReplyDelete
Great reminder, thank you. I guess I tend to be a perfectionist and get crazy when I do something I don't think is perfect, so for myself (and my sanity), I need to hit a happy medium of balancing expectations with reality. : )ReplyDelete
I agree: always aim for higher, no matter what.ReplyDelete
Even if this means stepping out of your comfort zone (which I think is the hardest)
Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo
for all of us!
Love the post. I think sometimes we choose quantity over quality. This last year I had to rip out a ton of seams dye to a late night mistake. When I was done and everything was sewn back together, I didn't regret raking the extra time to do. It right.ReplyDelete
I love this, I know I'm lazy in many ways but if I'm lazy with my sewing I always regret it so I am learning not to be. I like my projects to be the best they can, I know when I make short cuts that I won't be happy with the results and I will end up re-doing! I certainly don't think everything should be perfect but it is nice to have a reminder to do our best, whatever our best may be.ReplyDelete
I always meant to comment on your post and now finally found some minutes to do - IMHO it is a brilliant one which nails my beliefs exactly.ReplyDelete
By no means this way of thinking requires everyone to be perfect... I think there is a huge difference between a slightly "sloppy" block for a quilting bee (for example), that is the result of hard work, seam-ripping etc. from a beginner or the quick-quick-rush-rush result of an experienced quilter. The former I will praise & encourage to practice further & will proudly present the result in my bee quilt. The latter will disappoint me because it tells me the maker didn't see it neccessary to give her best (in this example for me).
But as I am rather on the perfectionist side of life, I sometimes challenge me to allow some imperfections (those imperfections that nowbody sees, only if I'm pointing them out, but which drive me crazy nevertheless because, after re-sewing that part of the block more than 5 times, the seams still won't match 100 %). It makes me enjoy the journey more, and takes some stress out (which I have enough of in my day job).
In the end, I think, it has much to do with the pride we put in our work (giving the best you can at the given point), and to find a good balance between the challenge to improve & the joy of just sewing :).

The event was well attended, a lot of fun, and raised over $43,000 for BrightStones adults with special needs. BOWLABILITY is always a blast, said Tina Majors, Director of Fund Development. Its great to see teams of co-workers, friends, and civic groups come together, engage in a little friendly competition, and have loads of fun while supporting BrightStone. We are thrilled to have surpassed $43,000 in funds raised this year and look forward to this fun event continuing to grow! BOWLABILITYs Top Score Sponsor was Williamson Medical Center, and Pin Partners were Signs First of Franklin and YOUR Williamson Community Magazine. This years Lane Sponsors included Atmos Energy, Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center, The Fabric House, First Farmers and Merchants Bank, Jos Custom Cakes and Catering, Williamson Memorial Funeral Home, and Doris Alexander and June Caldwell. Many local businesses donated door prizes and prizes for top bowlers and fundraisers. BOWLABILITY is such a community effort, Tina noted. The community comes together to form teams and spread the word about BrightStones mission and this event, and many supporters and businesses work with us in other ways by allowing us to hang posters in their businesses, by donating prizes or sponsoring a lane, and even by sponsoring a bowling team. We are so grateful for the support of so many in our community; it truly makes a difference in the lives of our students and their families, who live each day with unique challenges. BrightStone is a resource in the community providing job training and employment opportunities for adults who are developmentally disabled.

COHDS-SOHC Summer Institute 2018
June 25-26, Glasgow, Scotland
This is an open invitation to COHDS affiliates to participate in the 2018 COHDS-Scottish Oral History Centre Summer Institute at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. This two-day workshop from June 25th to June 26th will provide an opportunity for our two research communities to engage with each other's research and creative practice. In addition to planned outings, everyone will be in the same room for two days – a rare opportunity to get to know oral history researchers and artists in another city. The Summer Institute builds on a longstanding relationship between our two research centres, which has included student and faculty exchanges and joint conferences.
The Summer Institute is free, but you have to arrange your own funding to get there. Faculty and students can access the usual sources of conference funding as well as student mobility grants. Community affiliates of COHDS are also invited to participate.
We have timed the Summer Institute so that it immediately precedes the joint annual conference of the British Oral History Society and the Oral History Network of Ireland in Belfast from June 28th to June 29th on "Dangerous Oral Histories: risks, responsibilities and rewards." Some of you may wish to present in both Glasgow and Belfast – a rare opportunity to engage with oral historians across the UK and Ireland as well as from other countries. Two great reasons to make the trans-Atlantic trip!
Please contact Steven High (firstname.lastname@example.com ) in the coming weeks, if you are interested in participating in the Summer Institute.
If you are interested in presenting at Queen's University-Belfast (another oral history centre that we have strong links to), here is the link to their Call for Papers: http://www.ohs.org.uk/conferences/belfast-2018/ . The deadline for applications to the Belfast conference on is 22 December 2017.

Scary Stuff
Changed the name of my blog today. I hope like heck that I didn't loose my followers (all four of you) or confused everyone else out there in cyberworld. Once my books get published, I'm hoping that this will make it easier for people to find me, read my thoughts without the need to mind-meld (did Spock even once use one of those handi-wipe towelettes that you find near grocery stores before you take a shopping cart to prevent picking up germs from someone who just had eboli or the flu or even the common cold), and, well, brand my name a bit. Perhaps the other 576 Bylinas in the world will find me now. So much to do; so little time, but I'm loving it. Just wish Mother Nature would back off on the late Spring heat and spread the rains around a bit more evenly. My tomatoes are thirsty.
