'Help me spend less!' British PM writes to public sector workers
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his deputy Nick Clegg wrote to six million public sector workers on Thursday asking for ideas on how to save money and tackle a record peace-time deficit.business Updated: Jun 24, 2010 23:49 IST
British Prime Minister David Cameron and his deputy Nick Clegg wrote to six million public sector workers on Thursday asking for ideas on how to save money and tackle a record peace-time deficit.
Chancellor George Osborne called in his budget this week for a 25 per cent spending cut in all government departments except health and international development to neutralise a deficit of around 11 per cent of gross domestic product by 2015.
The letter to all Britain's state employees from the leaders of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition is an attempt to win support for the toughest round of spending cuts in decades.
Lib Dem leader Clegg warned ahead of the May election that brought the coalition to power that failure to achieve public acceptance for the cutbacks could result in "Greek-style social and industrial strife".
"We want you to help us find those savings, so we can cut public spending in a way that is fair and responsible," the two said.
"You work on the front line of public services. You know where things are working well, where the waste is, and where we can re-think things so that we get better services for less."
Unison, Britain's biggest public sector union, said its members would cooperate in helping to cut waste but warned vital services would still be hit.
"The prime minister is misleading the country by claiming that you can shave a massive 25 per cent off budgets just by cutting "waste" ... there is very little fat left to cut," said Unison General Secretary Dave Prentis.
"I would urge the government to revisit these impossible cuts and consider what devastation they will cause to our society and our local communities."

Examples of recent courses
We're always interested in offering new and innovative courses, workshops, and special events to our members. OLLI instructors represent a broad range of formal education and life experience. The faculty includes individuals with no college degree and those with a Ph.D. It includes active and retired educators, skilled artists, and sophisticated enthusiasts, as well as community members who are experts in a particular subject. Some members teach in areas entirely different than their professional expertise, as they expand their knowledge base with post-retirement passions. Members may be students in one class and the instructor or facilitator in another.
Are YOU interested in sharing your interests and expertise with our members?
Potential instructors often ask this question. The answer: Until this year OLLI-UHM classes have been taught primarily on a volunteer basis. Beginning with the Spring 2018 semester instructors will be offered a modest honorarium of $50 per week in acknowledgement of their contribution of knowledge, time, and talent to OLLI.
Considering the caliber of our instructors we attract, we know that the honorarium is not a significant contribution to their overall financial wellbeing. In fact instructors who "need" the money are most often not a good fit for OLLI. The best instructors are those whose motivation for teaching involves a passion for their subject area and a desire to share that with others. They come to find that the real and significant value of teaching at OLLI is the experience of teaching and interacting with OLLI students who are engaged learners and who bring lifetimes of experience to the classroom.
Many instructors regard teaching for OLLI as community service or outreach for their University department, organization, or profession and choose to waive the honorarium. Just as many OLLI members volunteer their time, talent, and knowledge to create an ever-improving OLLI program, so do its instructors.
If an instructor chooses, the honorarium can be paid in transferrable gift certificates valid for future OLLI classes and membership. Some instructors choose to waive it altogether.
In addition to the honorarium, OLLI offers instructors a discounted OLLI membership, photocopying privileges, parking support, and access to University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa resources such as libraries by providing a UH Visiting Colleague ID.

New Year – new you...nahhhhh!! I say REAL YOU!
Let's get clear. You don't need a more sparkly version of YOU, what you do need is the REAL YOU to show up. It mean's owning what you want, your desires, visions, fears and loves. It's about knowing what you want and going for it. And yes, you have to own all the excuses too!
So…how do you want your life to look and feel day to day? Do you feel deserving of the good that is unfolding? Can you change what seems to be not going so well? Can you let go of what you may not be able to change?
It's up to you to design your life the way it feels right for you. Pay close attention if you suspect someone else dictating what they feel you need. Look out for the ways you may not be aligned with who you really are. Observe your reactions to circumstances you don't agree with. They are all clues to what's happening inside.
My wish for you in 2018 is to give yourself permission to shine more brilliantly than ever before!

Your Level of Consciousness, Mind Control & Pineal Power
Have you ever thought your ability to change the world is minimal as one person? Are you aware that depending on your level of consciousness, you as one person have the ability to counterbalance the negativity of tens of thousands of people at a MINIMUM? Do you watch the news these days and think the world is only getting worse? Do you feel angered and outraged at what you are being shown and told?
Being emotionally manipulated by the media keeps you in lower levels of consciousness and in turn negatively impacts the positive change you could have on the world.
In today's video I talk about what all the different levels of consciousness are, how they are used against us for mind control, and how very different this world could be when people begin to take back their power to raise their own level of consciousness and begin using their pineal gland to its highest good.
If you would like to hear more insight on all things spiritual, you can also subscribe to my casual, fun, and informative podcast Enlighten Up in iTunes.

Harden, South West Slopes tracking to brighter future through inland rail
FARMERS and primary producers throughout the Harden district and the South West Slopes are on track for great opportunities to access new markets through The Nationals' inland rail plan, Riverina Nationals' MP Michael McCormack says.
"Our plan for inland rail will bring terrific benefits throughout the Riverina and Central West, but particularly to the people and communities of Harden, Cootamundra and surrounds," Mr McCormack said.
"In my many visits to the region since the new electoral boundaries were determined, I have seen first hand the excitement and opportunities local producers have through our plan to help farmers get their product to market sooner and more efficiently.
"That's why The Nationals in Government have allocated $594 million in our 2016/17 Federal Budget to getting the detail right."
Mr McCormack said the plans to open Canberra's airport to international routes, as well as the Coalition Government's three trade agreements will enable additional market access for farmers across South Asia.
"With Canberra's airport commencing international routes in September, many locals share my excitement at the prospect of getting our fresh food and fibre into Asia's growing markets as soon as possible," Mr McCormack said.
"Partnered with the Coalition's recently-signed trifecta of trade agreements with South Korea, Japan and China, we know there are many local producers who can now access Asia's markets and their burgeoning population, which has a great demand for high-quality Australian food."
Mr McCormack said The Nationals' investment goes further than the $594 million for inland rail, with a particular focus on the enabling road works and infrastructure to help farmers get their product to market.
"We all know the critical investment in big-picture infrastructure such as inland rail is the enabling works to help trucks and other heavy vehicles get the access they need to rail hubs and sidings," Mr McCormack said.
"That's why The Nationals in Government have tripled roads funding from Canberra to local governments. We understand that locals, not bureaucrats, know how to best allocate local roads funding, and Councils are an important partner in making a Melbourne-to-Brisbane inland rail route a reality."

I asked Joel to write my blog post this week while I'm on vacation: —David
Last week I was in my kitchen as I heard my 8-year-old daughter clanging out something on my electric guitar. It was music to my ears as she sang her heart out. As I tuned in I heard, "Trust in your heart and your sun shines forever and ever."
When she stopped for a second I asked her, "What song is that?"
She answered, "It's from Cinderella."
(Now, I don't know if you've seen the recent Cinderella release, but, in my opinion, it was pretty good. Which is great news for a dad of three girls whose world is filled with princess movies!)
I quickly grabbed the opportunity to help my daughter think about the lyrics of this song and its message by asking her if she thought it was good to trust in your heart. Her answer was amazing. She said, "Yes. Because Jesus lives in my heart!"
Woooooohooooooo! A win! Something my wife and I have been saying actually got through! This felt like a real miracle and maybe I should have just walked away and enjoyed it, but I kept going. I began digging to see if she understood if our hearts are trustworthy if Jesus is not leading them. I don't know if she fully tracked with the whole conversation, but somewhere in there I mentioned the verse Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?"
"Whoa!" You might say. "Slow down! That's a pretty strong thing to say to a kid who's just singing a cute song!"
Yeah, it is. But there is a message in our society today that is getting a lot of play right now: Trust your heart! It will lead you to happiness and fulfillment.
I don't know what your experiences are, but I have learned that, when I trust my heart, it never leads me into happiness and fulfillment. It leads me right into trouble. My heart leads me into trusting myself and thinking I am able to do really great things on my own. My heart will seek pleasure even if it means hurting people I love to get it. On its own, my heart will lead me to ignore the needs of people around me and always think about what I want. I have learned that to trust in my heart is dangerous business for me and everyone close to me.
A really long time ago, just about everyone in Israel followed their hearts right into exile, despite many years of warnings from the Lord through people like the prophet Jeremiah. After nearly seventy years of captivity and pain, all hope seemed lost for them. Nevertheless, one man, Daniel, picked up the Bible, and on its pages found forgotten dreams, and he believed the faint whispers of his fathers the Prophets. Rejecting the reality of his current circumstances and bad luck, he kneeled and asked the God of a destitute and barren city and temple to show all the kingdoms of the earth just who it is that will always have the final word.
Come to Living Streams this Sunday, as Daniel chapter 9 reminds us that, regardless of our circumstances, for those who trust in God, our best days are ahead.

You will be able to do all these activities in Nepal, yet they completely differ from each other. Trekking is a multi-day walk where you stop at various destinations along the trail. Generally, hiking refers to one day walk up from 2 hours to eight hours which might be a one or two day event.

US pressures Thailand on its CL stance
Kingdom one of nine countries on watch list
By Post reporters
The United States' decision to keep Thailand as one of nine countries on its watch list due to concerns over intellectual property rights problems has angered activists, who say Washington is protecting pharmaceutical makers at the expense of better health for the Thai public. The Office of the US Trade Representative is keeping the kingdom on its Priority Watch List because it is worried about its continuing policy on compulsory licensing, initiated by the previous government.
The situation remains unchanged under the present administration.
"While the United States recognises the importance of Thailand's public health challenges, Thailand's recent policies and actions regarding the compulsory licensing of patented medicines have contributed to concerns regarding the adequate and effective protection of IPR in Thailand," the USTR said in a report released in Washington on Friday.
"The United States is awaiting further information on the new Thai government's approach in this area and hopes to work constructively on this and other IPR issues in order to strengthen Thailand's IPR regime," it added.
The US said it wanted more action from Thai authorities to crack down on piracy.
Last year when the US put Thailand on the list, the US administration denied the decision was linked to the compulsory licensing policy.
But this year, its statement makes clear that the CL policy is one factor keeping it on the list.
There are eight other countries on the Priority Watch List, including China and Russia, the two countries which cause the US most concern over intellectual rights violations.
Nimit Tienudom, director of the Aids Access Foundation, said Washington "wants to protect its own trade benefits without respecting the desire of other middle-income countries like Thailand to extend medical access at all".
Thailand and its supporters have cited World Trade Organisation rules which allow for compulsory licensing in national emergencies or justified non-commercial cases.
They allow Thailand to produce or import generic versions of medicines for local use. Patent holders can receive some royalties but they complain the scheme violates their intellectual property rights.
Aat Pisanwanich, director of the Centre for International Trade Studies at the Thai Chamber of Commerce University, said other countries should not use the policy to threaten Thailand's stance on healthcare.
The government should allocate sufficient funds to improve the universal healthcare regime, he said.
Essential Action, a non-profit organisation in the US which monitors the issue, said Washington was favouring medicine producers.
"USTR knows it has no reasonable complaint against Thailand, but Big Pharma wants it to say something," director Robert Weissman said.
Deputy director-general of the Intellectual Property Department Wiboonlasana Ruamraksa said Thailand worked closely with the US in clamping down on all forms of counterfeit products, but Washington was still of the view that its efforts were not adequate, especially legal action taken against pirates and counterfeiters.
The issue will be taken up in talks tomorrow between USTR officials and Commerce Minister Mingkwan Sangsuwan.
Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama declined to comment on the USTR move until he had studied the report.
The minister lobbied US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during his visit to the US in March to remove Thailand from the Priority Watch List.
In the report, the US said it was looking forward to working with the elected government on better enforcement and intellectual rights protection.
It is in line with the stance by US Trade Representative Susan Schwab.
"The administration will continue to defend vigorously American innovation. US leadership remains critical to improving the global IPR climate," she said

On Tuesday night the Irvine City Council voted in favor of adding two additional items to the ballot of this year's special election. On June 5th, the city of Irvine will be holding a Special Municipal Election to coincide with the Statewide Direct Primary Election. As of now there are three items to vote on including a proposed Veterans Cemetery and two amendments to the City's Charter. The first proposed amendment states that a super majority (four votes) would be required from the city council in regards to raising taxes on residents.
The second amendment added to the June 5th election would "restrict special interest groups from manipulating the electorate to impose additional requirements on approved development projects that provide the City with specified fiscal benefits."¹ The amendment states: "Shall section 1009 be added to the Irvine City Charter to require that no City procedures or requirements shall delay important revenues to the City and its taxpayers from development projects deemed to provide a fiscal benefit to the City."
This amendment appears to be in direct response to an initiative that has been circulated throughout the city for signatures. The proposed ballot initiative would require voter approval for "any project that adds significant traffic, 40 or more housing units or 10,000 square feet of non-residential use and requires general plan or zoning changes."² If the initiative passed, development in the city would be greatly impacted. Given that we are in the midst of a major housing supply crisis, this initiative could seriously hinder the cities efforts to build housing for it's residents and businesses.
Irvine residents will have the opportunity to vote on the two aforementioned amendments on June 5th. The proposed initiative will appear on the November 6th ballot.

Do you remember the moment when you heard that Christopher Reeve had died? I do. It was early evening on October 10, 2004. I read it online: the most famous quadriplegic in the world -- and by far the most visible, effective advocate for funding research to cure paralysis -- was gone. For most people that was just a sad moment, an abrupt end to a life that had switched in an instant from fairytale to nightmare. In my community, that news was a kick in the teeth.
My community is people with spinal cord injuries and their families, a giant world-wide clan that nobody ever wants to join. Christopher Reeve mattered because he had resources that few of us could match: international fame, close friends in the media, personal wealth. He couldn't even breathe properly, but he stepped up and used those resources to advocate for more research, better research, faster research. Within hours of his passing, people were online asking one another who could take his place. Who would speak for us now? Would efforts toward a cure be abandoned, without that powerful voice pushing back hard against apathy and pessimism?
Out of those questions grew a grassroots organization called Unite2FightParalysis (u2fp), at first just a handful of people determined to figure out how to collectively raise their small voices in order to replace that single large one. One of the projects they deliver every year is a science and advocacy symposium known as Working2Walk (w2w).
"I thought the conference was incredible. I came away more motivated than I have been in years, and made some connections on the science side of things. I have been raving about it to anyone who will listen. I hope to be there next year, and I want to bring some people from my lab as well – they need to see this! I'm not sure I'm expressing this well but the point is that I'm fired up. It's me who should be thanking all of you, it put the wind in my sails."
Murray Blackmore, PhD, Working2Walk 2012 Speaker
My project is a book about that conference, specifically about the one that just took place (November, 2012) in Irvine, California, organized in collaboration with the Reeve-Irvine Research Center. One of the things that's become clear over the years is that it really is possible to help regular people become strong, informed advocates for a cure. It's just hard.
It's hard because life in a wheelchair is already indescribably weird, and because so many people's health requires them to accept the status quo and make the best of it. It's important to fight for them, and for the 12,000 people who are going to get paralyzed -- in the USA alone -- this year, and next year, and every year after that.
It's also hard to advocate for this kind of research because funds are limited, because the rules that govern human clinical trials are convoluted, because the spinal cord resists repair in a dozen different ways, because some of the necessary molecular science is still poorly understood, because there are people who waste time hyping undocumented cures, and because researchers often compete with one another instead of cooperating. Working2Walk is all about taking on those challenges. It's about engaging with the research community instead of waiting for them. It's about becoming part of the solution.
My book will showcase the power of advocacy and allow people to see how they can be part of it. Just like the Working2Walk conference itself, the book will highlight the best new science in clear, accessible language; there's plenty to be excited about from labs and clinics around the planet. And, just like the conference, the book will be full of powerful examples of people from the community who decided to work toward making the cure come faster.
Usually I spend my time at Working2Walk running a live blog that documents as much of what's happening as my fingers can capture, in real time. That blog typically gets many thousands of hits from countries all over the planet, as do the videos u2fp puts up later of some of the speakers.
I want to make a book because there are so many people who can't or won't take the time to read through a lot of internet pages or watch a series of videos. For a lot of us, a book is still the best way to get information.
A book is tangible evidence that someone cared enough to make a permanent, serious record. I want this book to be in the hands of people who staff rehab centers, hospitals, and trauma facilities. I want it to be in the hands of people like me. When my husband broke his neck in the spring of 2001, there was no international science/advocacy organization. There was no reliable one-stop shop to give us guidance about who to trust. There was no single well-educated, well-informed source to tell us the real story about progress in research, which was the very thing we most wanted to understand.
I'm a writer. A teacher once told me that the book you should write is the one you wish you could read; this is the book I want to read, and I know I'm not alone.
Risks and challenges
This will be the third time I've published a book through lulu.com, so I'm confident that I can manage that process. I'll be working on it alone from our home; if I get a big response I'll need to recruit some helpers to handle all the individual mailings and get them out the door in a timely way. I'll need to find some space to make that work and figure out how to compensate those people. I can do that.
The money (once Kickstarter, Amazon, and the IRS get their shares) is to allow me to turn down work from my regular clients while I write, design, produce and ship the book.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Puyallup: News
Emerald Ridge grad inspired by own struggles to pursue career in health care field
As Jeanee Henson woke up after brain surgery — unable to move in 2003 and then again in 2005 — the now 23-year-old had no choice but to push on and learn how to talk and use her left arm and leg again.
When Henson was 7, she was diagnosed with epilepsy and later Rasmussen Disease, a rare neurological disease causing frequent and severe seizures, with the loss of motor skills and speech as well as paralysis.
As she puts it, "it was a little hiccup."
That hiccup is what inspired her to enroll into the Health Unit Coordinator certification program at Clover Park Technical College. The program teaches students how to transcribe physicians orders, schedule diagnostic studies and appointments, order and maintain supplies and maintain patient records.
"I had always admired the doctors and nurses when I was in the hospital," said Henson, a 2010 graduate of Emerald Ridge High School. "They were always so nice and caring."
Now that the Puyallup resident has been seizure free for the last 10 years, she hopes to provide that same level of caring when she graduates from CPTC next week.
"I didn't want to do the woe-is-me thing," she said, recalling the reason she enrolled into the program. "I just got back up and told myself that my disability doesn't make me special."
Henson's goal of completing the program in six months was something she wasn't sure she could accomplish.
"I had school and work in the same day," she said. "It's hard, but you just have to push through. I just have to think that there's an end. (The program) is so fast-paced in charting, looking stuff up ... I thought it was too much. Now, I just keep telling myself I'm in control."
Henson is a little over a week from completing her goal; her next goal is to find a job using her certificate.
"Anyone who has a disability can do it (get a job)," she said. "We can do more, and we understand more. Give us a chance ... I know I can do great."

One of the very best ways to support a new family is to bring them a meal. The families who fed me and my mine after each baby arrived will always hold a very dear place in my heart.
A new family is generally glad to know that they are being thought of and pleased to receive any meal. The best ones are easy to reheat, easy to eat, nourishing and warming. Bonus points for something that freezes well in case the family gets swamped with several meals at once. While I usually don't advocate disposables, sending food in well labeled plastic containers that don't need to be returned is a true boon for new, sleep deprived parents. Along with a simple side dish or two, toss in a few paper plates, maybe a family desert like fresh fruit and chocolate bar designated ONLY for MAMA and it's perfect.
Takethemameal.com and mealtrain.com have made the process so easy with directions to the family's home, dietary limitations and preferences all in one place.
My favorite recipe is a lentil and sausage stew from my childhood. I often have requests for the recipe. It's not hard or complicated, but it sure is tasty. Just be sure to remember that if you see my name on a meal log, you can almost bet this is what I'll be bringing!
Two Rivers Lentil and Sausage Stew:
Chop then saute in a large stock pot 1 med onion, 3 med carrots, 3 celery ribs in olive oil until tender. Add a few tsps of minced garlic when veggies are tender. Add 4 cups water/stock/broth, or more as needed, and 1 cup dry green lentils, bring to a boil then simmer. Add a handful of chopped potatoes after about 15 minutes. When the lentils begin to soften add 2 peeled and chopped med sweet potatoes. When the lentils are tender add 2 cups of chopped sausages or kielbasi. At the very end add a few splashes Tamari/Braggs/Worcestershire/Fish sauce (I like all four) to taste and bring out that savory, satisfying umami. Serve with bread, or over rice and quinoa. This soup freezes well. Omit Worcestershire/ fish sauce and sausages for a vegan option.

We awoke after a couple of hours sleep in the back Cuzzie, we were a little blurry eyed and I was extremely hungry. I was also extremely salt crusted and desperately needing a shower and a washing machine, so off we headed to Nat's Auntie & Uncle's (Lib & Werner). Oh how wonderful to stand a long time in the shower and to wash a lot of my clothes and spread out my gear in the sun and wind to dry and smell fresh and clean :)
We are on there door step for the next few days and they are fab. A big cooked brunch and a great slow cooked casserole for dinner. I had a wander into Wellington, spending too long in the body shop store looking at nice smelling cleansers and shampoos etc, but I was not tempted to buy anything, maybe another day. Nat went off to catch up with a friend for a couple of glasses of wine, a chat and gossip without this old lady. We have been joined at the hip for the last few days and breathing space and the company of others is great.
It was amazing to realise I have actually managed to paddle this far, and the previous time I was in Wellington it felt like I was cheating by even visiting the city before paddling in. I have to say thank you to everyone who commented on my Facebook page this morning, and also liking the amazing images that Nat manages to post on Instagram each day, it is incredible. Thanks for taking the time to say congrats.
I am a little mentally exhausted by last nights intense paddle and am now focusing on another early morning paddle tomorrow, I hope to be off the water by 11 am. We have people to visit and I do not want to feel too much wind in my face when on the water. I am hoping I have the tides and currents correct and hoping to get to a location to be ready to try and cross to the South Island soon but there are a few options and opinions on this section. I will share once I see the weather, the waiting time etc.
Wellington is as nice as ever, it was nice to wander. Gear is packed and ready, weather is looking okay, in fact better than okay and a plan has been hatched. Ah, plans they sometimes do not happen, but we will see. After paddling tomorrow I am going to try and catch up with some locals and go back to say hi to Canoe & Kayak, and do some fun Wellington things, perhaps rock wall climbing.
As mentioned the support team is due to swap out on Monday evening and I am writing a list of gear to be brought down and also repacking my gear I have never used to go back in the empty bag.
Fun stuff today:
Falling asleep after my night paddle, smiling.
Walking around Wellington in my denim shorts in the sunshine, smiling and satisfied. Just browsing and not in a Christmas frenzy, joyous.
Spending time chatting to Lib, what an amazing and interesting lady! Gosh you have lived an exciting life, and I have only heard a little of it. I am coming back for sure to Rolleston St, to have a glass of wine, sit in the sun and just talk.
If anyone is around the Wellington area and interested in paddling in the morning, around Owhiro, up and along the coast to Makara then Titahi Bay before midday, please come and paddle for a while. I would love to chat and talk to you. Text Nat on the support phone and she will give you my location. Then I have a feeling I will be in Wellington for a couple of days so if you know of a calm place I can go and remind T2 how to eskimo roll and do some water kayak practicing skills please email me. Yes, Mike Scanlan, I am heading into the water to do some practice rolling, it is a promise, T2 must need some lessons.
Till tomorrow, night night.

Project Information
Empathy is a required attribute for all healthcare professionals and fundamental to quality patient care. There is compelling research demonstrating that the provision of healthcare devoid of empathy results in a wide range of negative emotional and physiological outcomes for patients. Further, healthcare professionals who practice without empathy are at heightened risk of depression, burnout and attrition.
Although it seems reasonable to assume that most healthcare students have an empathic disposition, evidence suggests that empathy levels often decline during the period of enrolment in an undergraduate health degree. Thus, explicit attention must be given to the development of empathy as a requisite skill for both healthcare practitioners and students.
The Virtual Empathy Museum (VEM) project was funded by an Australian Technology Network (ATN) Strategic Initiative Grant. The aims of the project were to:
1. Develop, implement, evaluate and disseminate a Virtual Empathy Museum (VEM) by collecting, creating and curating web-based, authentic and engaging empathy resources within a coherent pedagogical framework.
2. Improve healthcare practitioners' and students' empathy skills so that they are enabled to make a positive contribution to patient safety and quality care.
3. Increase sector wide commitment to integrating empathy development as a core component in healthcare programs and curricula.
4. Generate a robust and coherent body of evidence related to the teaching of empathy skills to healthcare students.

We got out of camp at 9am, so that is a slight improvement and I am proud of us. The mosquito blood sucking jerks have not been living up to the hype so far and I am thankful for that too!
However I am not thankful for crappy directions, dusty ass trails, and SUPER long road walks. We got lost somewhere at the junction to Cresent Lake which swings us over to Whitefish Horse Camp, where we continue up the OST. We walked along the road FOR-EV-ER, I mean seriously it was the worst. EA and Buggy's feet were pretty tore up from the floor up by blisters and the road was torture for them. I still can not believe how little they complained, you guys are champions at life. EA had flip flops on at this point for goodness sakes! At least the views were nice…
We did eventually make it to Whitefish Horse Camp after a few false turns. The picnic table, water spigot, and bonus outhouse, is everything my dreams are made of.
It is so funny that something so simple as a spigot of water and a picnic bench can make you absolutely giddy and thankful! We laughed like total A-holes and made hot lunches on a table, sweet mystery of life at last I have found you!
A super nice older gentleman came over to talk with us about our hike. He was waiting for other family who were out on their horses to return and let a few of us charge phones off his truck. He also gave us some trail mix that had chocolate in it which we promptly destroyed (trail magic!). He was so kind and he talked about how he wished he had done things like we were doing when he was younger. We told him he should do it , it's never too late! He took some photos of us all together too. Really awesome guy!
We said goodbye and headed through the horse campground to get back on the OST. Shortly entering the Diamond Lakes Wilderness, yay! The trail from here was some of the toughest we had been on with the extreme dust from all the horses that use it from the campgrounds. The uphill switchbacks were super rutted out and held lots of tree roots to trip you up under a little mound of soft dirt, MEAN. We all had our bandanas over our faces to be able to breathe through the dust. It was rough but we got glimpses of pretty things in between the dusty crap. I also at this point realized that even though this was super hard I was still really HAPPY to be out here doing it.
We finally made it to Diamond View Lake, the campsite was small and right along the trail but no one else was there so we had it all to ourselves. The lake was amazing and we saw tons of different birds on the shores, even little sandpipers, I am dead from cuteness! The long, hot, dusty ass climb was soon forgotten.
Me, Hiddy Ho, and 2 cans even ran a little bit around the lake to enjoy having our packs off, it felt AHMAZING! SO FAST, SO LIGHT! The sunset was gorgeous and I stayed out on a little log bench to enjoy it and snap pictures before it got really cold and dark.
We are all looking forward to a actual short day tomorrow to our resupply at Shelter Cove Resort. Cold beers, cookies in my resupply box, what joy, what extravagance!

Brazil / 1960
Solano Trindade was born in Recife, Brazil in 1908. He is considered one of the key literary figures that first wrote about Blackness and Black Pride in Brazil. He was devoted to cultivating a concrete Afro-Brazilian identity and literary movement. Like "Conversa," many of his poems denounced racism. Trindade's work was especially important, considering slavery in Brazil only ended in 1886. Trindade felt it imperative to correct and redefine what it meant to be Black in a post-slavery Brazil. Trindade died in Rio de Janeiro in 1974. Trindade's then-revolutionary ideas about Black pride and societal racism broke the ground for modern-day BlacK-Brazilian pride and cultural groups like Olodum and Ile Aiye to exist today.
In English "Conversa" means "Conversation." This poem is written in the style of a conversation. In it, an enslaved Black Brazilian man tries to convince his fellow workers that they are people. This dialogue is a microcosm for the kind of call to action and dignity that Trindade himself promoted amongst Black-Brazilians.

The flâneur, that feature of the 19th-century urban landscape, stood apart from the city as a wide-eyed wanderer. But when he had a camera in his hands, he became the archetypal street photographer, a curious observer who captured his environment in what Henri Cartier-Bresson called its "decisive moments": spontaneous, serendipitous, intuitive, singular. In "Unfamiliar Streets: The Photographs of Richard Avedon, Charles Moore, Martha Rosler, and Philip-Lorca diCorcia," the art historian Katherine A. Bussard explores the genre of street photography, beginning with this dominant definition and then expanding it. The photographers she investigates, whose work here spans the 1940s through 2001, manipulate the viewer's imagination of the city, or change the way viewers act within it. According to Bussard, accurately representing experiences of city streets "involves addressing issues of gender, commerce, race, collectivity, class, dispossession, sexuality and spectacle." In other words, street photography isn't only the magic of capturing a well-composed slice of life; it's the more complex task of recapitulating or intensifying the economic, class and gender tensions of the city street within an image. The image should galvanize the viewer or, ideally, alter street life as it's lived simply by the fact of the image having been made.
Bussard begins her study with Richard Avedon's fashion photographs in postwar Paris. She argues that Avedon's use of Paris's recognizable landmarks drew on nostalgic, prewar images of the city to amplify material desire. She positions Charles Moore's 1963 photographs of attack dogs and of firemen wielding hoses at civil rights demonstrators in Birmingham, Ala., for Life magazine, as having been instrumental in redefining the street as a site of protest. She then addresses the work of the conceptual artist Martha Rosler, who argued in an essay, "In, Around, and Afterthoughts (On Documentary Photography)," that photography of destitution "assuages any stirring of conscience in its viewers" for the social injustice that causes such suffering.
As a rejoinder to what she saw as an increasingly aestheticized act, Rosler devised "The Bowery in Two Inadequate Descriptive Systems" (1974-75): an influential work combining text and images, in which lists of slang words for drunkenness ("soaked/sodden/steeped/soused/sloshed/saturated") were displayed alongside photographs of storefronts on the Bowery. The piece is devoid of people but shows evidence of the homeless population and alcoholism that typified the avenue. Finally, Bussard considers the strobe-lit photographs of Philip-Lorca diCorcia, images that single out pedestrians within Times Square's surging crowds. In two series — "New York" (from the 1990s) and "Heads" (from 1999 to 2001) — viewers witness the social and economic "revitalization" that transformed one of America's most iconic public spaces, obscuring its seedier past.
"Touching Strangers," a monograph by the Chicago-born photographer Richard Renaldi, would have fit nicely as a capstone for Bussard's case studies, as it pushes the notion of street photography even further. Renaldi meets strangers on the street and asks them to touch or embrace one another; he then photographs these arrangements as group portraits. Rather than recording what he encounters in the city, Renaldi acts as a catalyst. He creates a moment that wouldn't otherwise have existed, cajoling people to interact in ways they otherwise wouldn't have. The contact Renaldi coaxes out of his subjects ranges from holding hands or a touch on the shoulder to a full, romantic embrace.
What makes Renaldi's photographs thrilling is that, even knowing his strategy, the viewer can't help fabricating a story about the subjects' relationship. We weave narratives around them — who they are, the unlikely tenderness that might exist between strangers. These counterfactuals force us to confront the limits of what we know, from our own experiences, to make up common social interactions. Relationships that take place in public tend to form along class, gender, racial and generational lines, and the mind quickly categorizes these interactions. Intergenerational contact is understood as family; contact between people of different genders most often appears romantic; between those of different classes, transactional. In "Sonia, Zach, Raekwon, and Antonio, Tampa, Florida, 2011," Renaldi helps us to see a family, despite ethnic differences, even when we know, intellectually, that they are not one. The mind expands when a multiracial group of human beings can so easily be addressed as a family, and yet it also contracts when an embrace can be categorized only as that kind of connection.
"Nathan and Robyn, Provincetown, Massachusetts, 2012," which is used as the book's cover, shows a police officer in uniform with his arms draped around the neck of a teenage girl who wears an American-flag tank top tucked into skimpy jean shorts. When the image is considered as a potential narrative rather than the discomfort of close contact with a stranger, the unease in her face becomes the malcontent of a teenager, her limp left arm the awkwardness of long coltish limbs. His tight hold on her solidifies into the stiff hug of a protective older brother, or a mentoring uncle. In "Jessie and Michael, New York, New York, 2013," an elderly woman with a cane clasps hands with a man, perhaps twice her size, who kneels to see her at eye level. He smiles warmly at the camera, while her expression is more distant. Could this be a family member, concerned for her vulnerability? Her caretaker, responsible for her well-being? Or simply a passer-by pausing to steady an older pedestrian whose progress is slow and precarious?
Part of the allure of Renaldi's photographs is their ability to evoke a world where boundaries don't exist. What if, instead of averting our gaze when approaching strangers, we greeted them? A recent New York Times Op-Ed, written by a pair of psychologists, told of what happens when we experience the casual social interactions we try to avoid. They make us happier, it turns out. Illustrating the article were several of Renaldi's photographs from this series. In this context his work seemed less an exercise for the imagination than a suggestion: Reach out to a stranger. Touch her hand.

Greetings to all of you summer Custerbums out there!
Bad Custer's been laying low since our performance/Stanley Cup distraction at Layer Cake a month ago. We spent that time relaxing in our own ways: Jesse went out to nature to gather his thoughts, I went on one road trip and planned another, and Mike lost his phone and took his time getting a new one, basking in the forbidden fruit of inaccessibility for a decadent 3 weeks.
We've been saying yes to show invites a lot since then, and as a result the rest of our summer has filled in quite nicely. Here's a rundown on where to catch our shenanigans:
Saturday 7/9 we will be putting on our sophomore performance at the 4th annual Deutschtown Music Festival. Last year we had the honor of playing a packed house at the James Street Ballroom, a space that became very familiar to us in the year following. This year we're teaming up with perennial band-buddies Wreck Loose and Chrome Moses, as well as The Commonheart and André Costello and the Cool Minors, to take over the stage at the Allegheny Elks Lodge. Known for its scads of banjo-wielding septuagenarians, this stage is a great anchor for the five hours of rock that will take place on top of it. We go on at 11, but stop by early to see Pittsburgh's rock scene distilled to lethal potency.
An anecdote: Mike has been painfully assembling a brand-new custom Gretsch kit, and it will be ready just in time to make its Debut at Deutschtown. Since Mike volunteered his gear as the house kit for the night, he will have the honor of being the fifth person ever to play his own drum kit!
Come back to the historic North Side on July 25th, as we help Pittsburgh punk band Swiss Army bring their tour Burghside at the James Street Speakeasy, a stage first for us. I've known Swiss Army's frontman Brandon for a long time, and am stoked to finally be sharing a stage with him. Also playing is Virginia artist Mike Frazier.
Sick of the North Side yet? Too bad! Oh July 28th, we return to the James Street Speakeasy AGAIN to play with Wreck Loose AGAIN, along with a Tennessee band called Sad Baxter. Tongue twisters will flow like the craft beer that is conveniently available from the basement bar.
In other news: late last year, we were introduced to an eight-foot-tall Canadian trickster god named Lurch. Over the winter we laid down the tracks for our very first full-length album in exchange for our immortal souls and daily reminders of how cool Justin Trudeau is. We're hard at work mixing as I type this, and hopefully your ears will get to wrap themselves around it in the near future. You can dig deep into our Instagram for behind-the-scenes shots and video.
I hope we see you all in July, and I hope that you're cool with all of our upcoming shows being within a block of one another, and I hope that the Route 28 East Ohio Street exit opens soon so it's not a total pain in the ass for you to get there.

2 Jan Natural Spa Factory – Face Masks. Back in The Cucumber Peel Off Mask appealed to me simply because of my baggy, dark circles. I wanted.
Description:Packed with everything a gentleman needs to look his best, The Man Can contains a plethora of favourites for men. Particles extracted from the bamboo stem gently buff away dead skin, revealing glowing, refreshed skin, while the plant oils form a creamy mousse to soften and sooth. This comes in a powder form, which is mixed with water at home, allowing the product to transform into a thick, creamy, mousse. To make the most of microdermabrasion effect, I like to gently buff the mixture into the skin before rinsing it off, allowing the micro particles to buff away dead skin. Unlike nasty man-made scrubs, this is powerful enough to deliver intense cell renewal, while still being gentle on skin. Neroli Oil works at a natural antiseptic, making this the ideal post-shave moisturiser.
