I hope they get the BHO failures worked out. Also would have been nice if they made the upper and lower SR25 compatible.
It is currently at AP. Hopefully I'll hear something next week.
I originally purchased this AP 308 to put a free float rail on it and use it for hog hunting with my pvs-22 and dbal.
One of the reasons I purchased it was for a review and comparison for cheaper AR10's, and it has more options for rails compared to my M&P 10 (high rail vs low rail). My M&P 10 doesn't have a free float rail on it.
I sent a reply to AP last week and they sent me a message today. Basically what I got from the message was they shot 20 rounds through it and it worked so the replaced the bolt catch (the one that was cracked and bent) and are shipping it back to me.
I sent a message back to them asking about the accuracy issues. I expected at least a barrel replacement since that one shoots like crap.
Here is their message:
Sir, So I just got your rifle back from the armorers, and from what they told me, they replaced the bolt catch and it does send the bolt home when pushing it. They fired a total of 20 rounds through the weapon and did not experience any misfires or malfunctions. It is still bit a stiff when pulling back the charging handle, but this is a common issue for .308s where the spring is a bit tense and will loosen up over time. Regarding the pressure, they did not experience any issues when firing regular pressure rounds, but did note high pressure damage when firing high pressure rounds. I will be bringing your rifle downstairs to be shipped out today, so it should be leaving our facility within the next day or 2.
Here is my reply:
So your armory did not even address the accuracy issues? It is just going to break more bolt catches since the barrel is over gassed. The problems with the barrel need to be addressed. You may want to read this before you send it back https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...308-OEM-Review
I will see if they reply back and will keep this post up to date. I can fix the overgassed issues with an adjustable gas block if I have to, but I cant fix the accuracy issue without buying and changing out the barrel. I guess 4-6 MOA is acceptable to them...
Ace4059, I just got in a Sprinco Orange and it's nice. The gun has run 100 percent and does with the new spring, the felt recoil is less and it has 2-3 more coils which cures the lower receiver/BCG contact. You may want to try it out, worth 25 bucks in my opinion. I think part of the bolt catch issues is the amount of travel from spring compression to the bolt catch when locking. With the factory spring, it's alot, the Sprinco cuts it down and may help.
I also have a the Sprinco Orange and an adjustable GB for suppressed use on my AP .308. I think the BCG speed was what was hammering your bolt catch to the point of failure. It seems that most manufacturers these days seem to be opening up their gas ports to allow the masses of shooters to use cheap and under powered ammunition. When you use quality ammo, it appears over gassed. I don't personally agree with this, but I'm not surprised that they do it.
Another option is to replace your carrier with a Gemtech .308 bolt carrier which allows you to run a suppressed or non suppressed setting. These look to be excellent when managing over gassed guns and suppressors.
Of course, none of these issues explain your accuracy problem.
Keep us informed please.
Life's a risk, enjoy the adventure - HOPLOETHOS
Got a link for Springco? My search fu is weak om this...
AHHA I was adding a "G" to Sprinco! Thanks !
I had same issues with the ejection and bcg out running the mag. I installed a adjustable gas block and it cut down the issues but did not eliminated them. I then ordered a car-10 XR 6.5oz buffer from heavybuffers.com issue is resolved shooting suppressed with a Omega and Specwar.
My rifle is assembled by me from purchased components. I had issues with my first aero bcg and sent back for warranty, received new bcg and still bought a AIM Surplus QPQ bcg.
Aeroprecision upper and lower
Faxon 18" mid length gas/adjustable gas block
AIM Surplus 308 QPQ BCG
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I received the rifle back yesterday. The paperwork that was included was just the original description of the problems, the print out of the private messages from AP, and their log on the gun with SN. No information besides the pm of what they did with the gun which sounded like they replaced the bolt catch in the PM that I copied and pasted a few posts above.
I also think they replaced the BCG even though no information indicates that they did.
Barrel still looks the same.
I'm going to get some federal gold match 168 and 175 SMK and shoot it today to see about the accuracy.

Hi! I'm Tony Wheeler. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm a gluten free, ancestral health and nutrition nut, family dude, approaching the age formerly-known-as mid-life, and coffee snob.
I've been into health optimization for much of my life, since thinking of joining the military and needing to shed a few pounds. I studied Biology in college, which gave me a working knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and generally how the body works. I've tried many fad diets to gain control of my own health, worked out in various forms from working out at home to full service gym memberships.
I'm in the process of obtaining nutritional certifications to step out and help people regain control of their lives. I'm particularly interested in helping men like myself, former athletes, dads who have lost a little bit of their mojo. I don't believe that it is that hard after 40…You just have to fine tune the machine to achieve the best results.

Brink this is Gerry. I had a company assemble my computer. I chose the microprocessor and 6GB of Corsair 1600 as well as two 500 GB Western Digital hard drives and two DVD recorders. They chose the rest. It's a Gigabyte 333 motherboard. They used and I have a legitimate OEM copy of Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hi Brink, Sorry about that. My system is listed in detail in my profile if you care. I still can't seem to make any progress on the lack of function of Windows Search. I have added "run" to my <start> list. One suggestion was to use the command line (is that run?) and type <sfc/scannow>. I would probably use (I forget the term right now) just to show errors first. Is that a good idea. There's lots of suggestions. I hadn't realized how heavily I leaned on "search". I use "everything" but you can't search inside files with that.

No problem Gerry,
Were you able to open a elevated command prompt (see link) to do the tutorial on the first page of this thread?

Thanks Brink. I got an elevated (administrator) command prompt. I then entered sfc /SCANNOW/VERIFYONLY and got an instant reply telling me how to use the command. Unfortunately it told me to do exactly what I had done. I tried it again and there is a blank after sfc and got the same response. One more try and I gave up.

You would only type the command below instead and press Enter. OPTION TWO in the tutorial can give you more details on this. :)

Mr. Greg Gorodetsky represented me in 6 cases (criminal, family, matrimonial) and is still representing me in 2 more cases (matrimonial, malicious prosecution). All 6 cases have been closed / settled / dismissed to my complete satisfaction. Without Mr. Gorodetsky's help, most likely I'd have been convicted of a crime I had not committed, and then deported from the United States. What is outstanding about services Gorodetsky Law Group offers? The highest degree of professionalism. Check. Flexible payment plans. Check. Answering and returning calls and messages day or night. Check. Multi-case discount. Check. Evening and weekend appointments. Check. But the most important thing is that Mr. Gorodetsky understands you and your problems, he feels your pain as his own pain, he lives your situation over and over again. He is not promising unrealistic things, but he is working hard, days and nights, weekdays and weekends, to protect his clients and their interests. I hope my kids and grand-kids never need a legal advice and/or representation in criminal, family, or matrimonial cases, but if they do, I want Mr. Greg Gorodetsky to be their counselor.
I was arrested for shoplifting at T. J. Max. and was stopped in the store while I was carrying two shirts inside my bag and coming down to the second floor. I put them in my bag temporarily because my hands were full and the security thought that I was attempting to steal the shirts... Long story short, I found Greg through a referal and he got the charges completely dropped, which saved me a potential record and a lot of stress and anxiety. Thank you Greg!
Greg Gorodetsky was my divorce lawyer . Before him I went to 3 law offices and was getting confused and desperate . Then friend recommended him to me . He is very professional and patient . I felt protected . I got custody of my kids and was able to save my money . I highly recommend him as a divorce lawyer .
I was going through a very difficult divorce and was very worried about the outcome. I simply could not afford an unfavorable financial settlement, and it was absolutely essential that I retain custody of my children. Greg was reassuring and supportive, and made sure that I understood everything that was happening. Two years on and my divorce is fully behind me. I only had one real issue and it is that it took a while for the divorce to be processed, and I had originally thought that it would take about 2 months and was only told later that the court takes anywhere from 4-6 months to approve the paperwork. Still, the court system has nothing to do with the firm and Greg's work far outweighed that minor misunderstanding. Ultimately, I would def recommend this firm to anyone who is in a similar situation as I was!
I would like to share an experience of great service I have with attorney Mr. Gorodetsky. Over year ago I was arrested by the falls allegation of my ex wife. She was mad at me because I wanted to divorce her. I was referred to Mr. Gorodetsky and immediately got help and felt self confident after the very first appointment with him. My so call "criminal" case was dismissed after first hearing. I got order of protection against my ex wife, to avoid her to provocations against me. All of this was done timely without any problem by Mr.Gorodetsky. I have never ever feel so calm after all I passed through with the issue I never experienced before. So, finally I got my divorce and I have to thanks to Mr. Gorodetskiy for all what he have done to protect me, to make me the person I used to be before. I definitely will recommend Attorney at Law, Greg C. Gorodetsky to any of my friend or acquaintance in case they will need a protection in Court for similar, or even different kind of cases.
After the trial Greg reduced my child support payment from $1,100 per month to $120 per month. I got allotted $1,100 as monthly child support when I represented myself (I thought it was a cheaper route at the time) in Court. After that I decided that I needed to get an attorney and found Greg. I'm really glad that I did because he filed an objection to the "Support Magistrate", and after the two hearings my child support was reduced to $120 per month (because now I was only working part-time). I can finally breathe freely and am no longer afraid that I won't have the money to support myself after CS payments. Thank you sooooooo much Greg!!!!!
Good attorney, hard working and caring about my case. He was available to talk 24/7 whenever I needed him, but best of all he got me my home back in Family Court after my ex-wife got a court order to cease it by falsely accusing me of acting violently toward her. And now he's working on getting my kids back for me.

Have you seen the picture of Matt Hunter railing the berm? His body parallel to the trail seemingly mere inches from the earth? A smile on his face and perfectly balanced with the headline "Think This Image Is Fake?" as his arm skims the ground beneath him.
The myth buster video is impressive and I watch in awe. The perfection, flawless riding, the berm, the dirt.
"It's just dirt" said a woman when arguing trail conditions with a local mountain biker. Speechless for a moment, stunned at the ignorance, dumbfounded at the lack of respect given to the trail, the mountain biker didn't know what to say, and then, of course had an over-abundance of knowledge to impart. Fortunately, or not, they were related and the ensuing argument did not further drive a wedge between the two, but enlightened the biker to the sad reality as they just shook their heads at one another and went their separate ways, one on horseback and the other on his own trusty steed, his bike.
Amazing discovery of sandy stone on the re-route at the Tree Farm. Baby trails need lots of TLC.
We call it hero dirt, Jesus soil, the holy trail.
There is reverence to the path we take. Finding flow, sculpting a jump, creating, raking, pruning, replanting, draining, and we visualize. And the vision becomes tangible, hike-able, ride-able, and we watch as baby ferns grow and pine needles drop, and deer tracks decorate a newly designed section or re-route.
There is pride and love and appreciation for the land, the terrain, the big rock to be used as a feature, the newly dug drainage channel, the rainbow tree that is almost too low to ride beneath. We see potential and possibility.
And we whisper.
Speak in hushed tones so as to keep it safe while we nurture and prepare it for use. How do we protect it from interlopers, yet open it to those who will appreciate its beauty and maintain and perfect the new trail's imperfections? We merely hope to make others aware of the connection, give them opportunity to embrace it, and share in the adventure that is found in the woods, riding, and working the trail.
Different users have differing visions and many who ride and hike trails see with eyes wide open. Closer to the earth one often sees more clearly the litter, erosion, and problems that can occur if the land is not cared for properly.
One also recognizes the work that needs to be done – the grading, the spring cleaning before opening day, the importance of not just snapping off branches to clear a path, but the significance of removing them from the trail itself. Care is taken and the hallowed forest ground becomes blessed by the sweat of trail builders and other stewards of the land.
There is gratitude to those who have gone before us and prepared the way and a shout out to the others who now join in as we play our part on local trails. The camaraderie, lasting friendships, stories, and the satisfaction of being part of the difference make the experience what it is.
It is not just the ride it is the interconnectedness of the journey that makes us bikers who we are!
As Chief Seattle said, "…the Earth does not belong to man – man belongs to the Earth…All things are connected…Man did not weave the web of life – he is merely a strand in it…"
See you on the trails!

We drove by earlier in the weekend and they had out all the cars getting them washed up. Our goal was to get a great picture of the guys the car was a bonus. The team at Gateway was great. They are use to getting their picture taken with the cars they make but not a picture of them instead of the car. We shoot with a low angle to get the sky. Used a softbox for the fill light.

Jesus had a short life here on earth, but it was always interesting. I was just thinking deeply about the Bible story we're about to dive into and I noticed something. Jesus was always up to something interesting. Even a dinner party became something more because of his approach to life and his love of people. There's a saying that I love, something like "marry the person who makes going to the grocery store fun". The point is, life's an adventure if you love the people who you're doing life with. Jesus loved everyone, so he got to live that out every day. Random people, strangers, his loving heart turned every situation into an encounter. We could recreate that sort of a life, if we wanted. If we approached every day with a heart full of love for people, then everything would be worthwhile. The trip to the gas station would be a chance to meet someone new, the haircut would be a chance to hear the stylist's story and maybe share some wisdom. Love makes every situation better, and I just really enjoy the fact that Jesus' unending love for people gave him a chance to make even the mundane become profound.
Okay, so we're still in Luke chapter 7, and Jesus gets invited to dinner by a Pharisee named Simon. He goes, and when he arrives at Simon's house, an "immoral woman" shows up. She kneels at Jesus' feet weeping and putting expensive perfume on his feet. Knowing that this was a woman of sketchy morals, the man who invited Jesus tries to make a big deal out of this woman being a sinner, prompting Jesus to tell what I believe to be one of the most important stories in the Bible.
Luke 7:41-48 Then Jesus told him this story: "A man loaned money to two people—500 pieces of silver to one and 50 pieces to the other. 42 But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?" 43 Simon answered, "I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt." "That's right," Jesus said. 44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn't offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You didn't greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume. 47 "I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love." 48 Then Jesus said to the woman, "Your sins are forgiven."
Honestly, I used to have a very negative reaction to this story. I felt like I was being punished for not having lived a more sinful life before I got saved. I never killed anyone, never did drugs, never hurt people, never did a lot of terrible things that I know others have done, and so for some reason, I felt like that meant the level of forgiveness that Jesus had for me wasn't equal to the level that he had for worse people. No joke, I was so spiritually immature that I'd daydream about being an awful person, about ending up in prison, and about having this triumphant, amazing moment in my life when I finally rose from the ashes of my existence and became a follower of Jesus. I would sit around and imagine the glory and power that would come from a story of a man rising up from rock bottom.
The issue with that way of thinking is that rock bottom looks very different for everyone. For the woman in this story, it was a life of immorality. But she wasn't the only one in that room who'd experienced rock bottom. The Pharisee is so puffed up and full of himself that he is blind to just how lost and sinful he is. You see, there are practical differences between a guy who kills someone and ends up in prison and me who spent a lifetime ignoring God and exaggerating about things. On the surface, the killer owes 500 and I owe 50. But you see, that's only on the surface. Because true rock bottom is being presented with the truth of who God is and choosing to walk in the other direction. Sin is sin, and while some sin may make for a better story than others, when we break the commandments of God we're all deserving of the same fate. Eternity without him.
In reality, there is no person who owes 500 and person who owes 50. We're all the ones who owe 500. The only real difference between the immoral woman and the Pharisee Simon is that she understood how deeply in debt she was. She was honest about who she'd been and the things she'd done, giving her a true perspective on just how far down Jesus had reached to grab her hand and redeem her. All the while you have Simon, every bit as lost and sinful, but convinced that he's got it all together and is a good person. In his own mind he's the man who owes only 50, because after all, he's decided that his sin and disobedience to God isn't as severe as the immoral woman's.
Romans 3:22-24 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Don't glorify your sin, but don't undersell it either. Understand fully that if this were a "fair" world, we would not end up getting to live in paradise with God for all eternity. There's nothing fair about what Jesus had to go through to save us. It's the definition of unfair. Our sin, no matter how heavy or light you may view it to be, is what necessitated his death on that cross. If that's not a rock bottom that we all share, I don't know what is. We owed a debt we could not pay, were lost in a darkness we couldn't escape, and Jesus reached down and pulled us out. The killer and the exaggerator alike.
Luke 7:47 47 "I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love."
You can measure the level of forgiveness we've each received by measuring the distance from hell to heaven. That's the scale of how much love we should show, because that's the level of unwarranted forgiveness that was shown to us by our Lord. A great debt, so greatly forgiven. The only sane response to that is loving the people around you deeply and endlessly and doing all you can to lead them to the one who can redeem them.
I love all of you. If you're not at a place in your life where you're feeling a deep love for the people of the world, I want to humbly suggest that you make a new commitment to the Bible. We have to develop the heart of Jesus if we're going to have a hope of helping what is a hurting and lost world. Jesus showed each one of us great levels of forgiveness. Great levels of love is the response.

I just started a new job, and one of my coworkers is finishing her music education degree. She mentioned she couldn't wait to share books with her classes (something their making elementary level music teachers do now), and that Halloween was her favorite holiday. I of course promptly told her that she absolutely must buy this fabulous book titled, "H is for Halloween." She wrote the title & your name down so she could purchase the book to add to her classroom bookshelf.

Dr Livingstone went on a trip to IKEA last weekend on the way back from collecting Middle Teen™. He bought me a black board with a box of colourful chalk.
Now I can write down stuff I need to buy when I go down to the shops. I'm not very good at remembering that kind of stuff. Like sand through the hourglass.
I hung it next to my desk in the kitchen. First thing Middle Teen™ and the Dr did when they got home was draw on the thing. Don't understand why they drew turds on it. When I asked the reply went along the lines of: I wanted to use the brown chalk so I drew a turd because it's brown.
Hmm. Very grown-up.
Needless to say, I do not like turds in the kitchen, so I wiped them off the board but let the hearts stay on. I drew the small one. Dr Livingstone drew the Big Love.

US dollar scepticism
It is predicted that the dollar will weaken as scepticism about US monetary policy leads foreign investors to view it as a risky asset. The Fed and the Treasury have offered a lot of assurance about the market which has led to more uncertainty. Federal Reserve chairman Ben S. Bernanke has told Congress that even though the economy shows tentative signs of stabilization, the central bank intends to maintain an accommodative monetary policy for a prolonged period of time.
The Fed also mentioned in their report that policy will be tightened when the labour market improves, a recovery takes hold, and the pressures to hold down inflation diminish. Bernanke's report was detailed in laying out what it will take to pull out, but until there's a clear path to withdrawing, foreign investors are going to be demanding a risk premium.
Already the US currency has fallen over the past month against all 16 of the most traded currencies.

Protesters keen to change the world at the Illawarra Folk Festival
SEND A MESSAGE: The Protesters are one of 142 acts performing at the Illawarra Folk Festival in Bulli this January. Details at www.illawarrafolkfestival.com.au Picture: Supplied
Music lovers shouldn't be too presumptuous about the lineup for the Illawarra Folk Festival in January with a variety of genres catered for other than folk.
Country, swing, reggae, Celtic tunes, African drummers, gypsy, bush dancing and yoga are just some of the genres represented at the 33rd annual festival at Bulli Showgrounds from January 18 to 21.
Reggae group The Protesters are set for their Folk Festival debut, a mixture of eight seasoned musicians from bands like Watussi, King Tide, The Subterraneans and The Melbourne Ska Orchestra.
Read More: Folk Festival 2018 program now released
Like many of the musicians on the festival lineup, their songs aim to make subtle statements about prominent issues in the world such as corporate greed, the decline of the earth's natural resources and equal opportunity.
"Since I was a kid I was always politically motivated and out for social justice so that's where I started off with my music," key songwriter and saxophone player Michael Brown said.
Brown, who also teaches contemporary music at TAFE, said his band is not necessarily ramming messages down people's throats with their songs but he hopes their lyrics can at least do something small.
"To say something that might have a little bit of impact on our future in various ways, is getting maximum mileage in a way," he said.
The Protesters – Postcolonial World
Posted May 25, 2017 by Sarah Pritchard & filed under Arts & Entertainment, CD Reviews, City News, Music.
The Protesters saunter into the listeners ears with their second album Postcolonial World.
Clear and pure lyrics, against a reggae beat make hard words taste more like honey to the listener. Somehow, though they are directed squarely at the thought processes in their audience, the lyrics are wrapped up in rhythmic bubble wrap, softening their impact.
The band plays across genres backing it all up with a constant stream of laid back reggae. Bouncing along in easy lengths; the rhythms blend and change, encouraging the listener to dance along with deep thought. Stretching them out across the rhythm, smiling along with the hard hitting politics, they deliver these messages with ease and casual finesse.
Listeners will delight in the newest offering from The Protesters, embracing the beat along with the importance of the message.

Postcolonial World è il nuovo album dei Protesters
anilo Deponti 22 settembre 2017
Si chiama Postcolonial World il nuovo album dei Protesters, gruppo australiano composto da otto persone provenienti da diverse realtà unite per uno scopo comune: creare musica reggae. Una realtà attiva dal 2013 con alle spalle Soul of The Nation, disco che faceva già emergere la grande potenzialità del gruppo capitanato dal frontman giamaicano Pat Powell.
Postcolonial World è un album di significati, come quello che viene scelto per la data di uscita, corrispondente al 27 maggio, che coincide con il 50esimo anniversario del referendum che diede agli Aborigeni australiani il diritto di essere considerati veri e propri cittadini; a confermare il proprio tributo alle tribù australiane vi è poi la copertina, raffigurante un aborigeno "imbavagliato" da una catena a luchetto.
Il disco inizia con Slogans Of Fear, pezzo dalle forti vibrazioni che ha come tematica l'unità tra ogni individuo, dove la profonda voce del cantante si alterna a quella del sax. Opportunity e Solidarity riflettono il messaggio di speranza e di rispetto reciproco come unica via di libertà mentre l'ipnotica Titanic Destination ci delizia con la parte strumentale dai tratti dub.
Colma di positività è anche Not The Only One, brano dalle sonorità che spaziano dal reggae al soul che porta a Recognise e Post Colonial World, senza dubbio le migliori tune in fatto di liriche, inerenti ad un mondo ancora colpito da guerre e da violazioni di diritti. Se Universal Women è una dedica a tutte le donne che ogni giorno combattono le dissidie della vita, Green Utopia e Stupid Game riflettono sulle condizioni critiche in campo ecologico ed economico sostenute da delle melodie travolgenti, accompagnate dalla frizzante sezione fiati.
Un disco intriso di contenuti che rinsalda quanto fatto nel precedente lavoro, grazie anche all'ottimo lavoro di autoproduzione, concepito per un pubblico amante delle sonorità roots più pure.
Michael Brown, saxophonist with popular Latin rockers
Watussi, has recruited members from high profile Aussie roots
outfits King Tide, Electric Empire and the Melbourne
Ska Orchestra for his reggae side Project,
The Protesters. Soul Of The Nation, the band's debut
album, is a vehicle for the leader's songs, most of
which espouse a strong commitment to social justice.
Brown's trenchant commentary on the environmental
and social cost of the good life enjoyed by Australians
is offset by smooth and soulful old school reggae
riddims, fuelled by exemplary arrangements featuring
a full complement of horns. The leader's own jazzy
saxophone solos lift several songs, most notably
'Fallen Down'. The funky 'Find A Way' features a
deadly electric guitar solo. Pat Powell, singer with the
MSO, delivers the messages with urbanity, belying
the scarcely concealed contempt behind lines such
as, "We eating and drinking while the land is getting
tired / Sittin' in front of tele while our bunda's gettin'
wide" (from the 'Good Life').While it alludes to a suburb
of Cape Town, the equally potent 'District 6' can be
read as a broadside against all divisive governments.
"Community destroyed for greed, always there to haunt
us / Humanity can do without world apartheid forces."

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) has filed yet another a lawsuit claiming that the federal government's guidance to public schools on the rights of transgender students violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). This lawsuit, which is nearly identical to those it filed in in Illinois and North Carolina, is yet another attempt to use religion as an excuse to discriminate and harm others— by an organization with a bad track record on this.
This misuse of RFRA is exactly why we support the Do No Harm Act, a bill that would preserve the federal RFRA's power to protect religious freedom but also clarify that it may not be used to harm others.

Amerigroup shares ended Tuesday's trading up 17 cents to $58.65.

Everton's Cenk Tosun sent off in Turkey v Tunisia match
Last Updated: 02/06/18 10:32am
Everton striker Cenk Tosun has apologised after being sent off following a dispute with fans as Turkey drew 2-2 with England's opening World Cup opponents Tunisia on Friday night.
Tosun was dismissed shortly after opening the scoring from the penalty spot for acting aggressively towards fans in the stands at the Stade de Geneve in Switzerland.
The 26-year-old forward had to be restrained by his Turkish team-mates as he gestured in an aggressive manner towards supporters that had upset him behind the dugout.
Afterwards, Tosun said: "I am a professional football player. I should not have done it but my family is very important to me. I could not stand it when I saw an image like that in the stands. I apologise to everybody very much."
Tunisia's Anice Badri had fired in a half-volley to equalise two minutes before Tosun was shown a red card by the referee.
Tunisia captain Ferjani Sassi put his side ahead in the 79th minute when his low shot went in off goalkeeper Serkan Kirintili's right-hand post.
Turkey levelled in the 90th minute when Caglar Soyuncu scored from close range, but his equaliser sparked a pitch invasion by fans as the game ended in disarray.

It's that special time of year We should gather with each other despite our fears We'll break bread and dine with wine And discover there's no trouble and we're just fine We are all of the same blood So it's silly to throw punches instead of hugs Peace is not (just) for the naive We should be wearing our compassion upon our sleeves So let's celebrate today And be grateful that we all have a voice to say That we're thankful for our lives And we're laughing, dancing, singing and giving high fives Written: March 28, 2009.

Blank City Sacramento
On July 15, I attended two very similar events that showcased the underground New York arts scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s: Midtown Business Association's annual gala at Harlow's, and Verge Gallery's premiere of "Blank City" at the Crest Theatre. Both spurred discussion about the factors behind the creative environment that emerged from a dangerous, decaying neighborhood during the nadir of New York's greater economy, and what that might mean for arts scenes in cities like Sacramento.

I haven't been this excited about a film screening since The Crest showed a mint print of The Bicycle Thief a decade or so ago… although mentioning the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia in the same breath as Vittorio De Sica's masterpiece would likely annoy both the Italian director and the White family.
The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia is a documentary that captures West Virginia's notorious outlaw White family in all their unfettered glory. A sequel of sorts to the 1991 cult hit Dancing Outlaw, Wild Whites checks in with the rambunctious family two decades later. Director Julien Nitzberg (who 'discovered' the Whites in the '80s while shooting a documentary on outsider musician Hasil Adkins) spent a year in Boone County West Virginia, filming the parties, fights, births, deaths, weddings and arrests of the clan. The finished film has wowed film festival audiences and received rave reviews, including a nice write up in the New York Times.
The film will show on Thursday October 28 at the Crest, and Nitzberg will be on hand to speak about the film and answer questions from the audience. Don't Miss this!

Like most people who frequent Second Saturday, I was stunned by news of the violence that erupted at the event last month.
Victor Hugo Perez Zavala, a 24 year old City College student was killed, and three others were wounded when an altercation escalated into gunfire. Zavala was not involved in the dispute; he, like two of the other victims, was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's sad that Second Saturday has become that place.
The shooting will likely mark a turning point for Second Saturday. There have been calls to drastically curtail the event, calls to move it to daylight hours, and calls to shut it down altogether. On the other side there are those who do not want an isolated incident to destroy what is an undeniably vibrant community event.
City officials and the Midtown business community have expressed their commitment to continuing Second Saturday. Memories of the sad end of K Street's Thursday Night Market loom high and there appears to be a widespread determination not to repeat the failure of leadership that allowed that once-flourishing event to be shut down instead of addressing its problems.
It's hard to find anything positive in something like last month's shooting, but if the City and the Midtown community can come together to start to solve the problems that have come to plague Second Saturday, then at least some good will have come from this.
We asked for ideas and suggestions on our MidMo blog, and the community dialogue that followed was both constructive and informative. There were many interesting contributions, but perhaps the simplest – and best – idea came (as it so often does) from historian, neighborhood activist and frequent MM contributor Bill Burg. Rather than trying to shut down Second Saturday, his suggestion is to open it up:
"It's time to bring elements of Second Saturday to every Saturday. Street busking, food carts, and vendors need to be an everyday part of central city life, not just once a month at a pre-selected date. It should be regulated and properly managed, but the process should be simple and straightforward. You shouldn't have to check your calendar to know something interesting is happening downtown.
"A higher overall level of weekend activity, say 3000-5000 extra people 8-10 days a month (every weekend day, plus the occasional "school night"), means a greater total economic impact than 15-20,000 extra people once a month. But because they aren't all there at the same time, traffic is less, parking impact is reduced, and pedestrian levels are less likely to reach the point where a crowd starts acting like a mob.
"If Second Saturday is getting too big for its britches, perhaps the answer is bigger britches."
Bill's comment about Second Saturday outgrowing its britches touches on an issue that is a sore subject for many – that Second Saturday has almost nothing to do with art any more. The truth is that it hasn't for a long time. Over two years ago we ran a cover story asking "Where's the Art in Second Saturday?" – art was largely peripheral even then.
The more important question is: does that matter? Second Saturday started as an event for the art community but has grown into an event for the community at large. That event has been wildly successful for Midtown – and for Sacramento – and, until last month, had an incredible track record.
Though the shooting was surely unrelated to the Art Walk, it was probably related to Second Saturday, the event, Councilman Cohn's protestations to the contrary notwithstanding. Since we don't know exactly what brought the shooter to the corner of 18th and J that night, it's hard to say for certain. But, odds are that he came for the same reasons most people come to Second Saturday – to mingle, to cruise, to people watch, to meet friends, to hear music, to flirt, to be part of the crowd, to party. Unfortunately, bad people like many of the same things that good people do.
The answer then, is complicated – there is no one quick fix like banning DJs from the street corners or getting rid of the jewelry and knick-knack vendors. The person who shot Victor Zavala didn't come to Midtown for those things any more than he came for the art galleries.
Is there an answer?
Not a simple one. What Bill suggests makes a lot of sense, and there are other good suggestions being made every day. The MBA is inaugurating new safety procedures that will begin this month and Police Captain Dana Matthes is working on plans for better policing. Things are happening. Good – they needed to happen. Second Saturday needs to be a better, safer space for everyone. We owe it to Victor Zavala

Lechuguilla Cave Facts
- To begin with, the gorgeous Lechuguilla Cave ranks as the seventh longest cave known to man. It also ranks as the second deepest known cave located in the continental United States.
- Yet it remains most famous for its incredible formations, unusual geology, and remarkably pristine condition. Regulations limiting access to the site to approved scientific and exploration teams maintain this condition.
- Strangely enough, the cave actually owes its name to a plant. The extremely rare agave lechuguilla, which grows only in the region surrounding the cave, occurs near the entrance to the Mammoth Cave.
- You will find this incredible cave situated within the boundaries of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Therefore, it enjoys a level of protection that not all such geological wonders can claim.

Lechuguilla Cave Physical Description
The known dimensions of the magnificent Lechuguilla Cave continue to change, as a result of continued exploration. Yet, as of the latest exploration, in 2013, its total length was approximately 138.3 mi (222.6 km). Presently, it has a maximum known depth of 1,604 ft (489 m).
Yet its most renowned features remain the wide variety of geological formations it contains. These include rare lemon-yellow speleothems, 20 ft (6.1 m) long chandeliers composed of pure gypsum, cave pearls, and countless stalagmites and stalactites.
It is worth noting that many of its features were named after items from The Wizard of Oz. These include an enormous room measuring 600 ft (180 m) in length, 150 ft (46 m) wide, and the same in height, named "Munchkinland."
Lechuguilla Cave Location, Formation, and History
The breathtakingly beautiful Lechuguilla Cave formed in what now constitutes the state of New Mexico, in North America.
Its formation also sets it apart from most other known caves. Unlike the majority of caves this site formed from the bottom up, as a result of the dissolution of the surrounding limestone by naturally occurring sulfuric acid deposits. Yet the true extent and nature of the cave were not realized until 1986.
In addition to its geological beauty, the cave also contains an extremely rare type of bacteria that actually feed on sulfur and iron, called chemolithoautotrophic bacteria. Yet, both the cave and these rare bacteria could be threatened by proposed drilling for oil and gas on adjacent lands.

360º Immersive Projection Mapping Experience.
"It's Bigger On The Inside!" MIRAGE is an incredible 360º immersive audio-visual experience. The projected content takes you on a journey of colourful 3D illusions and expansive transformations. The mirrored floor and ceiling creates an all encompassing infinity effect that greatly amplifies the visual experience.
In the first week of launch at Metropolis in Metrotown, Vancouver BC, we have seen well over 1000 guests go through each day, posting hundreds of images and comments to social media channels. Mirage combines art and technology resulting in a unique experience.
For this project, Go2 Productions worked very closely with BOLD Event Creative, who originally came up with the concept and also engineered and built the structure. The collaboration between the two teams was extremely positive from start to finish, with both teams passionate and dedicated to making this a truly unique experience. Go2 was responsible for developing the technology solution and designing and producing the projected content and soundscape. A perfect partnership.

Leading Security Orchestration, Automation and Response Solution
The Benefits & ROI of CyOPs are calculated based on saving time, frustration, training and providing enterprise incident response capabilities to your team. This is the only real ROI within cybersecurity; saving valuable time and efforts that can be tracked and documented
Real threats often get missed because these alerts are often submerged deep inside the ocean of ever-growing notifications. Through Automated Intelligent Triaging, CyOPs enables the Analyst to uncover these important alerts and prioritize them based on severity, asset, intelligence, and frequency.
Standardized, repeatable and consistent processes mean a more efficient onboarding plan for new SOC team members. Through its Automation framework, CyOPs enables you to take your current manual processes and convert them to trackable automated and uniform processes. Using CyOPs out of the box processes enables new team members to quickly learn proper and effective incident response methods and procedures.
Today's dynamic threat investigation and hunt scenarios need a plethora of cybersecurity tools. Consider a quick example of building a playbook where CyOPs connects & pulls in alerts from your SIEM. Next CyOPs provides alert triage using various threat intel feeds, blocks malicious indicators using firewall and email gateway integrations and sends an investigation summaries to the appropriate parties. CyOPs provides this all through automation & enterprise incident response playbooks. CyberSponse offers the largest amount of cybersecurity connectors of any SOAR offering worldwide, Click here to review these connectors.
What is the workload across my SOC team members? What is the average MTTR across resolved Alerts? Are there more Escalations in a particular type of alert? How many automated actions ran in the last three months? Can I get the after-action report of the Incidents where VIP assets are tagged automatically on my email? My clients prefer a Spanish version of the report, can we provide that? What is the overall health of my SOC team?
Well, you get the point. Be informed about every aspect of the threat investigation lifecycle with robust reporting and analytics built in the CyOPs environment.

Zverev vs. Anderson
|Date & Time
|Sunday August 6, 2017, 9:00 PM (EDT)
|The Line
The Line: -- Over/Under:
|TV Channel
Kevin Anderson and Alexander Zverev meet in the final of the 2017 Citi Open.
Kevin Anderson is coming off a straight sets win over Jack Sock that took 19 games to decide. In the victory, Anderson won 73 percent of his first serve points and 58 percent of his second serve points. Anderson has won eight of his last 10 sets played and is coming off a match in which he won 40 percent of his return points and all five break points. Everybody knows about Anderson's serving ability, but he's that much tougher to beat when he's keeping the return in play and stealing points. Anderson is playing some of the best tennis we've seen from him in awhile and this play could turn things around for the 31-year-old. Anderson hopes to win his fourth career title and first since the 2015 Winston-Salem Open. Anderson is is 3-6 in final appearances on hard court. Anderson has won six of his last eight matches on hard court.
Alexander Zverev is coming off a straight sets win over Kei Nishikori that took 19 games to decide. In the victory, Zverev won 94 percent of his first serve points and 69 percent of his second serve points. Zverev has won his last seven sets and has been dominant both on his serve and return. Zverev has dropped just seven first serve points in his last two matches and has been broken just once in his last three matches. Zverev is starting to prove that he's going to be a serious threat in big tournaments probably a bit sooner than many expected. Zverev hopes to win his fourth title this season and fifth for his career. Zverev is 2-0 in final appearances on hard court. Zverev has matches on hard court.
These two have played twice and Zverev has won both matches. The most recent match was in this years Rome Masters, a match he won in three sets.
Anderson is quietly starting to look like the Anderson of old, but Zverev is tapping into his potential big time right now and I doubt Anderson has the overall shotmaking to match in this spot. Zverev is too sharp, too athletic and too powerful. This is the first time in a while Anderson has looked this good, and I question if he can keep it up.
I like Zverev to cruise here in straight sets.

Several years ago as My Beloved and I sold our first home and awaited the completion of the second, all my belongings were shoved into a storage room. That gave me pause to think, at forty this was my life, nearly everything I owned, stuck in a shed no larger than a garage.
Yesterday, I had the 'privilege' of holding a garage sale. It was a community event for my subdivision so that nearly guaranteed a decent turnout assuming the weather cooperated. (It did). Beloved and I decided it was time to pull out all the stuff from the crawl spaces that hadn't seen the light of day in over ten years. I then spent nearly three hours hunched over dragging boxes and assorted stuff to the end of the space. Over the next three/four days we cleaned and sorted, priced and presented all the leftovers from our life. Several friends and family members from nearby also brought items to donate to the cause. By the end of it all, our garage was packed with all manner of trinkets, baubles and bed knobs, not to mention furniture, a wetsuit, old tools and the like.
Then came the fun part. We opened the doors and awaited the fruits of our labors to all that would attend. As we live on a corner lot I assumed we would see a fair amount of traffic, and we did. As I helped our customers and generally strolled around I would look through the items recalling how they came to be with us in the first place. Some were gifts, others mementos of vacations, still others items we worked or played with. Several held special meaning, others not so much.
Then, it started, "I'll give you a dollar!" It occurred to me I was bargaining away what had once been dear to me. I have owned two golden retrievers for nearly thirty years and letting go of a certain figurine I once displayed proudly on our mantle made me feel as I was betraying my furry children.
But as the day wore on, I realized the things are that, just things and it will never diminish the memories I have of either of them. My drafting table sold, less clutter for the basement, the scuba gear gone meant not moving it randomly from one side of the crawl to the other every time My Beloved sent me to search for something. Even the small things that are now useless for Ragin' Cage were easily disposed of. His bouncy saucer doesn't now fit his running lifestyle, but I have the memory.
It's the memories, not the stuff that makes up a life. I'm quite sure I'll gather enough crap to have another sale in ten years, heaven forbid.

Former Prime Minister David Cameron has announced he is to quit as an MP.
And the announcement came as a surprise to colleagues at Westminster - because he'd previously said he was looking forward to being a backbencher.
But Mr Cameron said he risked "becoming a diversion" to the work of his successor, Prime Minister Theresa May , if he stayed on as a backbench MP.
Critics of Mrs May's plans for new grammar schools have pointed out that Mr Cameron previously spoke out against grammars. In 2007 he said supporters of selective education "don't understand that the idea of introducing a few extra grammars says nothing to thousands of parents worried about children languishing in failing schools".
It means there will be a by-election in his seat of Witney, in Oxfordshire.
Birmingham Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell (Con Sutton Coldfield) said: "In all the circumstances I can understand why he has reached his decision."
Mr Cameron was Prime Minister from 2010 to July this year - but announced he was leaving Number 10 after the nation voted to leave the European Union in June's EU referendum .
Watch: David Cameron announces Theresa May will become Prime Minister
Mr Cameron led the campaign for the UK to stay in the EU, and the result was a personal defeat. Theresa May replaced him as Tory leader and Prime Minister.
But despite this, he had initially indicated that he planned to stay on as a backbencher.
The former PM said at the time that he was "very keen to continue" as MP for Witney and said it was "very much my intention" to seek re-election in 2020.
But Mr Cameron has now said in a statement: "Having fully considered my position over the summer, I have decided that I am going to stand down as the Member of Parliament for Witney.
"There will now be a by-election and I will do everything that I can to help the Conservative candidate win that election.
"In my view, the circumstances of my resignation as Prime Minister and the realities of modern politics make it very difficult to continue on the backbenches without the risk of becoming a diversion to the important decisions that lie ahead for my successor in Downing Street and the Government.
"I fully support Theresa May and have every confidence that Britain will thrive under her strong leadership."
He has been an MP since 2001, and led the Conservative Party from 2005 to July 11 2016.
His Witney seat is a safe Conservative seat and whoever is chosen as the Tory candidate will be seen as overwhelming favourite to become the new MP.
Solihull Conservative MP Julian Knight said: "After many years of service as Prime Minister he has obviously decided that he wishes to pursue other things for him and his family
"It's very understandable after such immense changes in politics.
"I hope though that this doesn't spell an end to his involvement in public life as he is still a young man and has a lot to offer."
And Birmingham MP Mr Mitchell said: "It is obviously a pity that there will be no former Prime Minister now in either the House of Commons or the House of Lords."


text: Uncategorized27 weeks & Mod Podge Heels June 26, 2012September 8, 2012 Cathi Chandler Most of my days and nights are spent with my kids and our dog, and communication with my husband has been pretty scarce lately. I haven't been able to tell him any of the little stuff…or big stuff either, actually. I understand that his job is pretty important, and I'm sure he's missing me just as much as I'm missing him. There are times during the day when I need some adult interaction though. Lately, I've been feeling like I can communicate with and relate better to my single friends than my married ones. They know what it's like to be alone, and I don't feel like I'm interrupting a family dinner or date night when I call or text them. It's the closest thing I have to an Army wives group around here. But, I still feel like I'm trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. They really should have more morale boosters for wives outside of the MTF and FRG radius…not that I would be involved if they did, but they still should. This week, I'm grateful for my single friends who humor me when I send my random, senseless text messages, who call me at 2am, because they figure I'd be awake anyway (which, I totally was…watching a marathon of One Tree Hill and talking to Nathan Scott about standing up for himself. Haley left! Someone ought to smack her! He obviously didn't smack her…Wuss), and who make plans to mesh some of their alone time with mine. Why are these people still single? They're so great! I'm trying to fight the urge to go into full-on matchmaker mode, even though I'm pretty stinkin good at it, because it could easily become my new obsession. What can I say? I have a keen eye for soul mates *cough, cough, my sister and her now-fiancé cough* So, instead of creating the scenery for a Romantic comedy, I started long-distance running again. I received my email from last year's mud run, and registered. I've upped my cardio a few notches, and I plan to redeem myself from the foolishness of last year. I ran it, without training, only 3 months after my hysterectomy. Foolish. But no one could talk me out of it. Did some good damage too, but I'm back and feeling better than ever! I'm excited to see my neighbors more than my once a week jog. I sing out loud when I run, and it's funny to watch them look at me like I'm crazy. "Here I am. Rock you like a Hurri-Cathi" Good times. It's not helping with my insomnia though, like I thought it would. It's now 3am, and I really wanna know if Nathan takes Haley back or punches her in the face…one more episode? Nah, I'll just talk to God until I fall asleep. My activity: Mod-Podge Heels Boom! $4 shoes, $7 mod podge, and one of my husband's pant legs. Add a few days and some brain cells = these bad boys So, my sister tagged me in a picture of some outstanding heels that were mod-podged into a comic book strip. Originally, I thought I wanted to do the same, but I changed my mind. I decided to make ACU heels! I know every single Army wife or girlfriend is going to want these! Shoot, if I saw a chick walking down the street in these, I'd want them! Start out with some boring heels add some mod podge (Hi Biff!) Understand that it's going to take a few hours curse the shoes, not your friends. Use a glue gun for inside and the seams. you might want to add some felt to the inside so they don't give you blisters It's okay if it's not so pretty on the inside or underneath. No one can see that. When I first read about this, I was so excited! I thought, "I'm gonna get the big stinkin' bottle of mod podge, because I'm gonna do this all the time!" Nah…I will probably never do this again. It was quite frustrating. Biff didn't even finish hers. She and those shoes just weren't seeing "sole" to "sole"…haha…I'm a word-play genius. I love these shoes though, and I'm glad I was able to push through my anger toward them to the final product. 🙂 Until next week, send your crazy to me since I'm going there anyway. Can you see them?

While there have been numerous guest stars on The Office throughout the past nine seasons, some have been more memorable than others. To start with, one of my most favored guest stars is David Wallace. My favorite thing about David is his calm and simple demeanor. This always presented a hilarious contrast in situations involving the silly Michael Scott. David, a smart, successful CFO at Dunder Mifflin is generally well-liked. One of my favorite David moments is from season 5's "The Duel" when he invites Micheal to the corporate office in order to find out how his branch is so successful. David's reaction to Michael's silly strings of advice and chatter are priceless. Overall, any episode with the addition of David Wallace was always a nice surprise and only added to the humor.
Underdog #2 is Danny Cordray, played by Timothy Olyphant. Many viewers will recognize Olyphant from the popular TV show entitled Damages. When Jim was dating Karen Filipelli during season 3, Pam supposedly went on a couple of dates with Danny but he did not show a continued interest in her. When he is later hired at Dunder Mifflin in season 7, his presence at first is uncomfortable for both Jim and Pam. In the end, Danny just strengthens Jim and Pam's marriage. Danny was a funny character to me because he was sarcastic and different from any other character in the Scranton office. I guess it doesn't hurt that he is easy on the eyes too!
#3 is Mose Schrute, played by Michael Schur. Mose is Dwight's cousin who helps him run the beet farm along with Dwight's other ridiculous tasks. Mose is a very quirky character for a number of reasons. First, for the longest time I thought Mose was mute, as he barely ever talked. He also has a tendency to hide behind things when a lot of people are around. Mose has appeared in seasons 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8. My favorite Mose moment, however short and simple, is from season 7's "Dwight K. Schrute, Acting Manager", when Dwight is briefly appointed the manager position. When he calls to tell Mose the news over the phone, all viewers can hear is a shrill, insane sounding scream. I continue to laugh so hard every time I watch this part.

April 2013 General Meeting
Monthly Meeting MinutesApril 29, 2013 Lovely Lane Church
Officers' Reports
PRESENT: 18 people were in attendance at the meeting, including presenters.
CALL TO ORDER: Jeanne Knight called the meeting to order at 7:07pm.
TREASURER'S REPORT: Peter Duvall stated that the current available balance is $6,150.01.
Kinderhook Snacks
Katie Horn and Marie Stratton own a snack business in Baltimore, doing mostly wholesale. They recently signed a lease on a commercial kitchen space on Morton Street, behind WYPR. They are fundraising for an oven and other needed items through Kickstarter. They have set a campaign goal for $12,000.
2110 Bistro
Ray Davis, who owned a restaurant in Curtis Bay, opened a restaurant at 2110 North Charles Street on April 1. Ray did not attend the meeting, but Reni provided this update.
Old and Ongoing Business
Cathleen O'Neal said there is now a waiting list for the community garden, and the plots have now been planted. The gardeners are in the process of adopting the empty lot at 22nd and Hunter Streets, will clean and make temporary space for potential use next year as a satellite garden. There will be a cleanup with a city dumpster on May 4.
Katie asked about composting at the garden. Cathleen said that currently the garden can't compost food scraps because it's an open system, but some gardeners had expressed interest in a closed system.
Jason Pyeron said that in the past he had discussed setting up a composting system for Charles Village and that perhaps it was time to revisit a search for properties for that purpose.
Land Use Committee
A couple who purchased a house on the 2100 block of Saint Paul Street met with the Land Use Committee to discuss how they could convert the large house into three units while maintaining the house's historical integrity.
Kelly Cross brought up a pleasant conversation that he had with a new resident on Guilford Avenue, who was moving from Carroll County to take advantage of the Live Near Your Work incentive.
Charles Village Community Benefits District (CVCBD)
Bob Brent stated that the CVCBD reports that the security patrols are moving the prostitution to Remington at some hours.
Bow refuted that claim and said that a new group of "rougher" prostitutes has moved in and has been working mornings. She said she'd never seen the trike patrols. Larry reported large groups of prostitutes at 23rd and Calvert Streets on weekend mornings. Bob reported that the criminal justice system was now forcing 50-100 hours of community service on the prostitutes. Mateusz said he believes the emptiness of some of our blocks has brought the prostitutes here.
Jason Pyeron asked Councilman Stokes about why the problem persists. Carl responded frustratingly that prostitution is not allowed south of North Avenue and offered that the Midtown Benefits District has a model to root out the problem. He said that the CVCBD response has not been professional enough and the problem is expanding. Several community members said they had never seen the trike patrols. Peter asked if there was flexibility in setting the schedule, since the activity has moved to the early morning.
Ira Kowler said that in his community organizing experience, our neighborhood has some of the most active residents and believes our voices are being heard. While many good people attend our meetings, there are also many neighbors who enable the problem to continue.
Jeanne pointed out that our own quad rep does not believe the prostitution is a problem. Jason pointed out that less than 50 percent of the revenue is collected in the southern part of the district but more than 50 percent is spent here.
Kelly brought up a related problem that many property owners in our neighborhood do not pay their fair share of taxes. He and others will meet with Delegate McIntosh to discuss issues about non-profit status and artificially low assessments.
Carl Stokes asserted that businesses in our neighborhood would contribute more funding if we offered them a plan to respond to their needs.
Jason spoke of a mobile application his company is developing to take photos of crime and graffiti, which would link to 311 and the Benefits District.
Planning Committee
Phil LaCombe informed the group that he is working with the University of Maryland, College Park to put together an historic preservation graduate-level studio project. They will likely do research that will contribute to a future CHAP district nomination. Baltimore Heritage's Johns Hopkins has indicated that he thinks a new CHAP district might not be possible at this time due to its position with the City Administration. The UMD students received a tour of the neighborhood and will determine the scope of work for the project this fall.
Mateusz Rozanski said that part of this effort to create a CHAP District is to target slumlords. Phil added that a CHAP designation would allow the community to review the designs for infill development on vacant lots.
Phil reported Neighborhood Design Center (NDC) application to produce a master plan for Old Goucher is now complete. Reni and Phil met with NDC director Jennifer Goold, who suggested focusing on public spaces.
Reni reported that she will pursue grants from the Chesapeake Bay Trust and the Baltimore Community Foundation.
Phil said that Phase 3 of Telesis redevelopment was recently announced. Homes on the 2000 block of Calvert, 300 blocks of 22nd and 23rd will sell for between $175k and 279k.
Ira announced that the BMOG meeting will be on May 6, 6-8pm.
Reni announced the next North Avenue planning workshop will be May 4, 9:30-11:30am at Windup Space. The group is working to design streetscape improvements between Howard and Greenmount.
New Business
Community Get Together
Mateusz suggested a neighborhood party after the Garden Walk. He and Jeanne suggested Kris organize it.
Mayor's Cleanup Competition
Cathleen explained a competition to win $1,000-5,000 for cleanup efforts. Ira suggested the key to winning is to take lots of pictures with many people working. We can get extra credit for adopting lots, which we already intend to do. We need to send the application by May 15. The work needs to be completed by September 20.
Jeanne has got Charles Village Discount Liquors to agree to plantings in their vacant tree well.
Cathleen needs a list of streets, alleys, and storm drains to clear and clean. She will start a thread on Nextdoor. Carl noted that Greater Greenmount, Greenmount West and Remington, all surrounding neighborhood in the 12th District, won last year. Ira is happy to put us in touch with the coordinators from those neighborhoods.
Bow asked about mulch for existing tree wells. Cathleen and Mateusz have been able to acquire free mulch from the City.
Other New Business
Jason informed the group that Greater Homewood is going to hold an event for the Barclay Rec Center.
Peter says there will be tree plantings on May 18 and 19, sponsored by Telesis.
Jeanne asked about graffiti. Carl asserted that we should adopt a broken windows policy, hiring our own people to deal with it immediately. John advocated for the use of the 311 app.
John reported an illegal auto garage on Morton Street. Peter said they'd been cited.
Bob asked about the temporary door at 2114 block of Saint Paul Street. The problem goes before the Land Use Committee next week.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00pm.
