Kerry Anson is a certified physician assistant and athletic trainer who moved to Treasure Valley in July 2018 from Alaska. Kerry's undergraduate degree is in athletic training and she has been a certified athletic trainer since 2009. She was awarded the Rocky Mountain Athletic Trainers' Association undergraduate scholarship. In addition, she was a member of the Academic All Sun Belt Conference team. She worked as an athletic trainer with the Alaska Baseball League for several years and also worked in physical therapy before attending PA school. She completed her master's degree in physician assistant studies in 2012 and has been practicing in family medicine ever since. Her favorite things about working in family medicine are getting to know her patients and their families on a personal level and the continuity of care that family medicine provides.
She lives with her husband, two young sons, and two brittanys (https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/brittany/). In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, hunting, fishing, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors.
Kerry did a great job of diagnosing my problem and coming up with a course of action.
Kerry was terrific and glad I have her as my new primary physician.
Kerry was very nice and listened to my concerns. Feel very comfortable with her.
I am very happy with TVFM EVERY visit has been excellent from the receptionist to the CMA to Kerry. Thank you for this exceptional clinic.
I would absolutely recommend Kerry.
Kerry is wonderful. She's smart very knowledgeable in her field. She listens to everything and my daughter and I will continue to see her. We hit the lottery when we found her!!!! Working in the medical field all my life I'm pretty picky and I feel confident Kerry works for me as an individual, not just another patient.
Kerry is personable and fun I felt like I was talking to a friend. She addressed all my concerns and more. A great overall experience!
Very impressed and pleased with Kerry! I felt very respected and listened to. Kerry showed both compassion and sympathy as I shared my medical history and as we discussed some new conditions and concerns. Thank you Kerry for your kindness, support, knowledge and professionalism. Having Kerry as my primary doctor/PA-C is such a win!!
Kerry is very knowledgeable, respectful, and helpful. I appreciate how she listens to me and involves me in my own healthcare. She's a find!
Carrie was amazing she was very thorough and caring I felt like I was in there with a family member and that was awesome!
I feel very comfortable with Kerry. She seems truly interested in my wellbeing.
She is an excellent physician! She listened to all of my concerns without any disruption and answered every one of my questions in detail. She didn't judge or make me feel like I was just another patient. She responded to my messages almost instantly every time and even got back to me about a new issue I was having on a Saturday. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who is patient, understandable, knowledgeable, caring, personal and overall a great physician!
I enjoyed my visit I will be using her as my new physician
I was so nervous. It's always hard seeing new doctors not knowing what to expect. The minute I walked into her office I was put at ease by her friendly welcoming staff. Kerry put me at ease the minute she came into my room, introduced herself, and sat and talked to me just like we were friends. She got to know me, my concerns, and took the time to answer any questions I had. I didn't feel rushed. I highly recommend Kerry!

It was a wet and dreary evening in San Diego when Spooky Cigarette showed up to the sold-out Casbah to check out The Coathangers.
The five piece, filled with musicians involved in multiple local bands and side projects, is fronted by Frank Mindingall. He's both the keyboardist and the humble mastermind behind Spooky.
Frank wrote the tracks on last year's debut EP As Loud As I Can, subtly tackling issues like race and sexuality in the lyrics. Their sound blends genres of new wave, synth pop and even the stereotypical San Diego surf/garage rock sound. It strikes me as incredibly self-aware. Even the name Spooky Cigarette is a subtle clever pun; "spook" being the derogatory word for a black person and "fag" being British slang for a cigarette.
The guys realized they found their niche when teenagers started showing up to their shows singing all the lyrics. They decided to take Spooky more seriously.
We huddled under raindrops and the red light, passing cigarettes and talking about burrito sauce, taco spots and abandoned sandwiches on the trolley.
The band members seem so different, each having a unique take on taco sauce, yet it's easy to see why this combination works.
Jakob McWhinney, the guitarist, passionately talked politics, planning events and ways to get young people to take more political action. "Things have been rough since Drumpf got elected," he said. Pepe Gonzalez, the keyboardist and guitarist, discussed the San Diego music scene, summing it up in one word: "weird". "It's pretty cut throat here and hard to get shows sometimes. That's why we've turned to the D.I.Y. house show circuit, which is working out."
Skylar Eppler, the drummer wearing a Game of Thrones pin, shared about how his seven-year-old daughter is getting used to herself on the cover of local publications. And Daniel Gallo, the bassist, recounted the hilarious story of his first concert: Mana in Tijuana when he was 10 years old. "My mom, my aunts, all the ladies in the crowd were throwing their bras on stage. Weed was going around. It was wild."
We got out of the rain and watched Los Angeles band Zig Zags slay through metal head-bangers, reminiscent of Metallica. Last up was The Coathangers, the badass Atlanta trio that ripped and rocked, sounding tighter and more together than ever. They played new songs off last year's Nosebleed Weekend and even treated us to an encore of a track off their 2007 debut album, "Don't Touch My Shit".
A portion of the bar proceeds went to Planned Parenthood, which felt very appropriate. Thanks to the Pabst Music Society for supporting musicians in San Diego and elsewhere.
Spooky Cigarette is nominated for Best New Artist in the San Diego Music Awards. Vote for them now until March 21st here.

Mini-Circuits' annual Holiday Potluck Lunch began years ago as a spontaneous, informal celebration of the season among members of the production team at the company's Neptune Avenue facility in Brooklyn. In the years since, the feast has grown into a favorite and eagerly anticipated tradition. The menu and attendance have grown each year, and the 2017 feast served up all the diversity of Brooklyn with flavors from the Caribbean to Southeast Asia and almost everything in-between.
This year's event added to a particularly festive holiday season at Mini-Circuits, following a smashing year-end party, a record-breaking toy drive, and an all-around landmark year for the business. Shortly after noon, members lined up outside the cafeteria waiting for the doors to open as volunteers arranged the many dishes team members had prepared. Before digging in, members posed around the banquet table for a photo opportunity, but the urgency of the collective appetite in the room was palpable. When encouraged to deliver a speech for the occasion, President Ted Heil looked around the room, and read the audience perfectly, proclaiming only, "Let them eat!"
The Holiday Potluck is a wonderful way to celebrate the diversity of our workplace by sharing cuisines and culinary talents. It's become one of many traditions that brings the community together and makes Mini-Circuits such a warm and unique place to work.

After more than a decade operating as an independent non-profit organization in Martin County, Whole Child Connection was officially incorporated into the Treasure Coast Food Bank on July 1, 2015.
In April 2015, the Children's Services Council of Martin County selected Treasure Coast Food Bank to assume Whole Child Connection after a competitive review process. The Whole Child Connection name remains in place, but the program is now integrated into the Treasure Coast Food Bank operations plan and budget. Click here to read the announcement of Treasure Coast Food Bank's incorporation of Whole Child Connection.
Whole Child Connection was created to improve the lives of all families by providing the connection to a complete network of community resources.
Whole Child Connection is designed to provide a simple, straight-forward way to connect local families with the help that they need. It is available to all Martin County children and their families, ensuring anonymity while giving them access to a wide range of community services. The goal is to help families lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.
The inspiration for Whole Child Connection came from the Lawton Chiles Foundation, which was created by Florida First Lady Rhea Chiles in order to continue the Governor's commitment to children by assisting communities to become Whole Child Communities. Indeed, Governor Chiles understood that successful nurturing and development of all children required a dramatically new approach, one that:
- Starts early – before conception
- Provides continuous support to parents
- Is grounded in the family
- Is holistic, considering the health, economic, social, education, spiritual and environment in which the child lives
- Creates a "no wrong door" culture whereby service providers are committed to building collaborative service delivery networks instead of competitive, single-strategy agencies and institutions
- Builds a partnership across all sectors of our society whose activities impinge on the lives of children
To learn more about the WCC program, please contact Krista Garofalo, Chief Strategy & Advocacy Officer, at 772-489-3034 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Whole Child Connection is funded by Children's Services Council of Martin County, United Way of Martin County, and individual donations. We are grateful for their ongoing support.

Public-service and homeless advocates don't deny that having three bathrooms open late in downtown Santa Cruz is an improvement over three years ago, when there were zero. But despite two new nighttime-only bathrooms downtown, they still have issues with the city's policy on bathrooms; for instance, the fact that none of the new portable facilities are handicap-accessible.
"That's a big problem I have with the Porta Potties," says Zav Hershfield, local activist and a member of the Give a Sh!t Campaign. "They don't provide access for people who are handicapped or have a mobility handicap. They can't get into those, so what are they supposed to do?"
The answer to that question is found in back alleys downtown, according to longtime homeless activist Brent Adams. That, he says, is where many people—not just the homeless—go to relieve themselves when they don't want to wait in line for a restroom, or don't have access to one.
"When people wake up and there is not a bathroom open, they have to get creative," Adams says. "That means people go in bags and throw it away, they dig holes or they do it on the backs of [buildings]. It's inappropriate, and we should do everything we can so that we never have to have that occur again."
Installed in July for $10,000, the two toilets—one at Lincoln and Cedar, the other at Union and Cedar—are locked during the day and open from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night. The city's 24-hour portable toilet, which opened three years ago at Front and Laurel, is still open all day and night.
The city also has a visitor restroom program, where Santa Cruz pays downtown businesses a monthly $400 stipend to keep the restrooms open to everyone—customers and otherwise. But the only business currently taking part is Bookshop Santa Cruz, which has kept its restrooms open to the public for 24 years, long before the visitor program launched in 2009.
A city website on the program also lists two other participating businesses, Pizza My Heart and Cafe Gratitude, although both have recently closed their bathrooms to non-customers. Neither business could be reached for comment, but Julie Hendee, Santa Cruz development manager and downtown specialist, says both closed because of vandalism. Hendee says she's been doing outreach to other possible candidates.
This fall, city staff was also maintaining more-established 24-hour public bathrooms in the Soquel Avenue parking garage as part of a pilot program. In October, Scott Collins, the deputy city manager, told GT he was pleasantly surprised by how few issues they were having with the restrooms, and the city extended its three-month pilot program for another six months.
But Collins says problems began arising toward the end of November, and police started getting more calls for service.
Then in late December, public works employees began closing those bathrooms every night at 10 p.m., according to a city memo, after cleaning crews came to the facilities one night to find broken lights, a soap dispenser torn off, and the bathroom walls spray-painted and smeared with feces.
Crews cleaned and repaired the restrooms, according to the memo, and returned later that night to find the walls had been spray-painted again. Santa Cruz police don't have stats on how many incidents there were at the bathrooms, but the memo stated that there were 250 calls for service over the previous 165 days, including a spike in the middle of December. Collins says most of those calls were late at night, but it isn't clear how many of those calls were after 10 p.m.
The new portable toilets, which were trucked into Santa Cruz from out of the area, are the city's latest pilot bathroom program, and Collins says staff will update the City Council in December, after about six months is up.
Many portable toilet companies, including local companies, declined to provide toilets to the city because of possible damage, says City Manager Martín Bernal. The city had looked into other options too, like the Portland Loos—stainless steel sidewalk toilet kiosks hailing from Oregon—years ago, but hit a wall when no businesses were willing to have the toilet near them.
Collins says the portable toilets are a low-risk option, as far as vandalism and damage go, since the plastic is repairable. The portable toilet on Front and Laurel streets burned down in October—the cause of the fire is unknown, but it cost the city $1,000 to replace it. The toilets are installed with a wooden frame around three sides to make them look nicer and also provide stability, making it harder for someone to knock them over.
Collins says it's too early to tell, but the portable toilet system looks to be off to a good start. "The units are getting used and they haven't been vandalized," Collins says. "So from that perspective, it's a win."
Adams, who is working on a crowdfunded documentary about homelessness on the West Coast, cleaned the portable toilet on Front and Laurel streets for months. He says it's unfair that even when a city doesn't have enough restrooms for the homeless to use, they are still criminalized for relieving themselves outside, and that public bathrooms aren't just a homeless issue.
"Late night you have lots of college students and tourists, people peeing all over town," Adams says. "It's not just about poor people."

Buyer Beware!
Are you putting motor oil in your transmission or transmission fluid in your engine?
There is a lubricant currently on the shelves in the Midwest that has caught the attention of the Petroleum Quality Institute of America (PQIA), and for good reason. The product is Spirit Oil MD-III from Spirit Oil Company and it is a product PQIA recommends consumers DON'T BUY. The front label on the product identifies it as "MD-III Semi Synthetic Blend Motor Oil SN-GF5 Conventional." In addition, the front label displays the API Certification mark and also states "MD-III Meets: SL, SJ, CF-2, CD-11 Specifications." It does not, however, display an SAE viscosity grade.
PQIA issues a DON'T BUY on this product and here's why.
To anyone even somewhat familiar with motor oil specifications, the front label is at best confusing.
Starting at the top, the prominent display of the term "MD-III" could be interpreted to mean it's an automatic transmission fluid (ATF) formulated for use in vehicles recommending Dexron III/Mercon type ATF. This is because it is not unusual to see similar nomenclature on bottles of transmission fluid. But assuming consumers take the time to read on, it appears this product is not a transmission fluid since the label states, bold and in all caps, "SEMI SYNTHETIC BLEND MOTOR OIL." Further, the words "For Petrol Engines" appears in the API Certification mark and the label displays API Engine Oil Service Categories (both gasoline and diesel). So with that, even if confused by the "MD-III," the rest of the label says we are looking at a motor oil. But there is more.
While the label clearly states, in all caps and bold font, that it is a "SEMI SYNTHETIC BLEND" it also prominently states it's a "Conventional" motor oil. Understanding it can't be both, one might turn to the back label to learn more, and when they do, it gets even more confusing and concerning.
The back label prominently displays the letters "ATF" in red at the top, right over the term "MD-III." Further, the balance of the language on the label identifies the product as an automatic transmission fluid, not an engine oil. At the same time, the API Certification mark, with "For Petrol Engines" is also on the back label. In addition, the label reads, "Spirit Oil API Certified, synthetic blend, multi vehicle automotive transmission fluid is specially formulated with a unique combination of API certified motor oil and advanced additive technology. This will ensure high performance in the latest automatic transmissions vehicles. Spirit Oil uses a licensed GM DEXRON III additive."
So here we are, back to square one, is it an ATF or is it a motor oil? And although even more questions and concerns about this product arise from its claim to use "licensed GM DEXRON III additive" and to be an "API Certified, synthetic blend multi vehicle automotive transmission fluid," along with other language issues on the label, enough has been said to make it clear this is not a product consumers should buy. If they do, buyer beware, they could be using a transmission fluid in their engine, or an engine oil in their transmission. And in the event they experience engine or transmission damage when using this product, they will have a hard time taking the manufacturer to task. This is because although the law requires manufacturers to include the name and address of the responsible party on the label, the label on this product fails to do so.
Please notify PQIA if you see this product on the shelf.

By Susan M. Thigpen © 1984-2012
Issue: February, 1984
Many a February hour has been spent through the years in the creative and most practical art of quilting.
Quilting originated in the Orient hundreds (maybe thousands) of years ago as a method of making padded warm clothing. The bed covers our European forefathers knew were very different from the patchwork quilt we know today. Then, a bed coverlet was made from two full-size pieces of material and stuffed with a warm stuffing, such as goose down.
When our pioneer forefathers here in America began running short of supplies such as whole bolts of cloth, the American ingenuity came in. A piece of material probably started housekeeping on a bed as a sheet. When it became worn in places it was then cut and sewn into pillowcases; then dish towels. Worn out clothing was never thrown out but cut apart and the pieces still good were saved.
Along the way, some smart seamstress got the idea that even the smallest scraps could be sewn together for a warm bed cover and the American Patchwork Quilt was born.
Soon, seamstresses were showing off their best skills in the creative patterns and stitchery. A patchwork quilt is only limited to the imagination of the person making it.
In colonial days, it was a sign of wealth to have a good bed coverlet of fine, one-piece white material, with intricate designs stitched in white upon it. The patchwork quilt was a sign of poverty and "sniffed at." It may have had humble beginnings but it has endured the years well, probably because it is a direct sign of the pioneer spirit, courage and determination.
To make a quilt, first sew the top pieces together, choosing a pattern you like. Then put down a backing cloth, the filling, and the top and proceed with one of two methods. If you have a quilting frame, you attach the quilt to it and begin stitching through all layers with as small a stitch as possible. If you don't have a frame, (and I've never used one) you simply roll up your quilt and work on it one section at a time as you unroll it. As you finish one section, start rolling it up as you unroll the next section. For both methods, the last thing to do is to finish the outer edges by hemming it. If you are working on a quilt by the roll method, you can work on it across your lap on a couch or the floor.
There are three basic types of quilts:
Patchwork, in which various shaped pieces of material are sewn together to make squares and then the squares are sewn together to make the completed top.
Appliqué Quilts, which start with an entire quilt or square piece and designs of cut out shapes are hand stitched or embroidered on top of it.
The other type is a relatively new one. You complete a square, stuffing, backing and all and then sew the completed squares together. The beautiful and rather complicated "Cathedral Window Quilt" is made this way. It is the "Rolls Royce" of the quilting world and quite an accomplishment.
I have included a design that is one of my own originals. I call it Mountain Landscape. The pieces are free form and the quilting stitches are done to give the impression of trees, water flowing and rays of the sun. I think it is the prettiest when made of calico, especially if you can find the same print calico in several different colors.
I would use blue for the sky, yellow for the sun, (you could stitch the rays of the sun in yellow on the blue sky background) brown, red or orange for the plowed field areas, green for the hillsides with trees and blue for the river flowing around an island.
I made up this design and only made one quilt by it. My daughter now has it on her bed. I once painted mountain landscapes but I think they are captured just as well with needle and thread.
The measurements for this quilt will fit a queen sized bed as a coverlet or a double size bed as a full spread. The yardage is written on the pattern. It's a little more than you will need, just to be on the safe side. The measurements are the only ones I used when cutting it out. Every landscape is a little different from the next anyway. You might even decide to Appliqué a house on one of the hillsides.
When you finish your quilt, embroider your name or initials and the date on it. Every work of art ought to be signed. I wish you good luck and many, many enjoyable hours and the satisfaction of a newly made heirloom for tomorrow.
If any of you would like to send in old quilt patterns or quilting tips or old time quilting bee stories, we'd love to hear from you.

We sure do learn several lessons along the way as we evolve into great runners. Some lessons create speed, some increase mileage, and some enlighten the mind. As we plan our goals for the long-term, great runners will intensely focus on their short-term goals as well. These short term goals are accomplished by their daily rituals, or habits.
There are many habits that the great runners tend to repeat. They know that every small effort will eventually lead to one giant success. So here are 8 habits to adopt NOW that will better your running!
1. Run In The Morning
To run like the great runners, a morning training run should be as much of a routine as getting dressed. It takes tremendous self discipline through multiple training sessions to break new personal records and the morning is the most convenient time to do so.
Don't have time to run? Great runners will sacrifice sleep. They will wake up hours earlier to run to prevent conflicts in their daily schedule. Nothing like catching the morning sunrise on the run!
RELATED: 10 Steps To Supercharge Your Morning Long Run
2. Make It A Priority
To run like great runners, you must make training a priority. It's like brushing your teeth, simply a must.
When you make running a priority, excuses fade. If a training run is missed you must own it, exclude the excuses, and stay committed.
There's always time available to run, but if you do not give it importance then there will never be time at all. Great runners know this instinctively. So make training a MUST not a SHOULD.
We all eat when we're hungry and sleep when we're tired. We shower when we're dirty and we turn on the heat when we're cold. Great runners run when it's time to train – period.
3. Active In The Running Community
Its important to be socially active in the running community. Whether it's joining a club, a class, coaching, or involved in social media, try and stay socially active.
The running community is not just about social interaction but it's also about learning from others. It opens the mind to new perspectives, innovative strategies, and helps with avoiding common mistakes. When you learn from someone else it saves much wasted time. It helps skip unneeded trial and error while learning new strategies and techniques in the process.
The running community is there for support and will certainly have some great runners to learn from.
4. Maintains A Strict Diet
Simply put, great runners have great diets. Your body doesn't have the ability to turn poor nutritional choices into ones of higher quality. Our cells, muscles, skin, and bones are built by the food that we supply it. We literally are what we eat.
There are many types of runner diets that saturate the industry all claiming to be the next big thing but whichever diet you live by, stick to it. Remember, it's not a diet change but a lifestyle change that's needed most.
5. Spends Time At The Gym
Although running is done on the road, track, and the trail, it's essential to train other muscles of the body preferably at the gym. A balanced exercise program is essential to becoming strong and healthy to improve your running. Strength training and cross training is an important part of a runners overall development and every day is a good day when you train.
RELATED: 10 Incredibly Useful Running Tips For Beginners
6. Lives For The Long-Run
The long run is what it's all about. Great runners understand the importance of pushing yourself to run faster and farther. These lengthy miles are the best preparation for upcoming races. It places a runner on their feet for prolonged periods of time.
For great runners, the weekend is all about the long run. It's what they wake up for, it's what they run for, and it's what they live for. It's the closest distance to race day and the most important run of all.
7. Stand Up And Move
Spend the majority of your day on your feet to run like great runners. Understand the importance of placing a demand on the body.
Remember, movement creates more movement! So try walking to stores instead of driving, standing up to eat, or running to work.
Continuous movement provides momentum, and this can be powerful, a secret great runners understand. They move and they move and they move, leveraging this momentum to their favor throughout their entire training schedule.
8. Competitive Edge
Competition is a prime motivator for many runners. Great runners tend to be competitive while demonstrating their spirit on race day.
Let's face it, most of us are competitive one way or another. If it's racing against others or racing against yourself, and your past run times, a competitive edge is always present. It's used as fuel for motivation and so use this fuel to your advantage to better your running.
RELATED: Running Motivation: Going From Push To Pull
In the running world there are numerous races to choose from. Anywhere from a 5k fun run, to a prestige marathon, or even an enduring ultra marathon. Great runners know which strengths to leverage, which weaknesses to improve, and are excited for each new challenge that comes their way.
Running can be so much more than moving your feet forward, and it can be just that, moving your feet forward. Great runners know this but are driven to become increasingly better than the day before, no matter what it takes, and it sure takes a whole lot of running.
REMEMBER…Every small effort will eventually lead to one giant success! And be sure to check out The Complete Beginners Guide To Running Gear!

Last week I led a group of 20 people from CABC (College Avenue Baptist Church) to Ensenada, Mexico for an intergenerational short-term mission trip. Once again, we stayed at YUGO Ministries' Ensenada Outreach Center (EOC) and worked with their staff to build a home for a family living in poverty and also to conduct a VBS program for neighborhood children. We have partnered the past few years with a small church in the community of Salitral called "Fuego de Dios" (Fire of God). Pastor Nicolas Gallegos shepherds a small flock there and does a remarkable job of reaching out to this little community. YUGO's "Houses of Hope" program helps local churches serve families in the neighborhood in a very tangible and practical way. Families who receive new homes feel a special connection to their local church long after the house is built, and the ministry continues.
We built a home for a family of six who were living in a one-room house that was built for them by another ministry (Amor, perhaps) many years ago, probably when the family was much smaller. The new three-room house that we built was right next to the old one, so the family can now use both. Their kitchen, which was outside, can now be moved inside. The children will now have beds of their own rather than all sharing a common one.
We also conducted a Vacation Bible School program at Pastor Nicolas' church each morning for about 35 children. Along with games, crafts and Bible stories, we did a puppet show each day. I built a portable puppet show stage made of PVC pipe and curtains and I purchased some pre-recorded puppet show scripts that were in Spanish, so our puppeteers only had to move the mouths of the puppets in sync with the dialogue. They worked great, although on the first day, one of the children began crying hysterically when the puppets started to talk. Apparently the little guy had never seen puppets before and they scared him to death. You can imagine what a small child would think upon seeing such odd-looking creatures come to life. He seemed to like (or at least to tolerate) the puppets the rest of the week.
It was a good week of ministry. Although our Mexico team was smaller this year than last, we had a good mix of people who worked hard and accomplished much. Chuck and Shannon Fisher, with their kids Jon, Sara and Chris, are old pros—this was their third year in a row. Bill and Debbie Gossett, with their two sons Joe and John, came out all of the way from Minnesota. Laura Morales, a single mom, brought her two children Roy and Victoria. Sara Fisher invited two of her friends (Tori and Maddie) and made up the puppet team. Bob and Luanne Holaday, longtime members of CABC, joined me as senior members of the team. Esther Tejada and Oscar Miramontes served as our interpreters. Bryce Klabunde, CABC's Pastor of Soul Care, also came for the third year in a row and helped immensely on the construction team.
This was my fifth year doing a family mission trip to Mexico and my third with CABC. In my view, these trips perfectly accomplish my ministry goals as "Pastor to Generations" at CABC. It's my favorite week of ministry of the year. Hardly anything else comes even close as a vehicle for passing faith from one generation to the next.
A week in Mexico is a complete immersion experience in intergenerational discipleship. Parents and children serve Christ together, working side by side for five days. They engage in extended conversations about faith and values. They participate in doing something together that is truly remarkable and very significant as they impact the lifestyle of a family much like their own. They worship together and receive biblical input each day from the YUGO leadership who help them process and learn from what they are experiencing during the week. They have a fun, positive family experience which rivals any family vacation or family camp. And with Mexico being so close to us in San Diego, it's not expensive and easily accessible. All that's needed is a passport and an appetite for some of the best street tacos on the world.
Hopefully we'll be doing it again next year. Let me know if you'd like to go with us.

The government's decisions about implementing renewable energy affects the environment, the economy, and society as a whole. Renewable energy can be defined as an energy source that can be consistently replenished and will never run out. Energy and environmental writer Jennifer Weeks poses the question, "How will the U.S. get energy in the future, and how will we do so with our government funds?" (Weeks, 2011).
Using renewable energy would be cost effective and better for the environment, which would be beneficial for anyone and everyone living in the U.S. In the 1700's, renewable energy such as wood, wind and water were the primary source of energy (Mumford, 1934). As time has passed, coal has been used more frequently and eventually replaced the majority of the renewable energy sources. In more recent years, talk of implementing renewable energy sources have fluctuated, depending on the president at the time. Even though the government makes the final decisions, citizens can make their voices heard. After all, the government was established to serve the people. Benefits Sourcing Renewable energy has many benefits, not only environmentally, but also financially.
The prices of solar and wind power decreased significantly in 2016, which led to other countries using less fossil fuels and nuclear energy (Carrington, 2017). The United States is falling behind compared to other countries when it comes to using energy that will be more profitable for our future. Oil is more than twice the price today than it was in 2005, when it was $55 per barrel (Weeks, 2011). Based on this, it is not unreasonable to assume that oil will become even more expensive as time goes on.
On the other hand, in 1999 oil prices were the lowest they have been since the Great Depression (Cooper, 1999). Since oil prices have fluctuated in the past, it is plausible that it will happen again in the future. In defiance of Donald Trump's attempts to inhibit the progress of renewable energy, businesses and individuals have started to embrace renewable energy (Egan, 2018). Regardless of the laws against solar energy, people are still taking strides towards a better tomorrow. The senior writer of CNN declared that "solar energy is as cheap as coal in United States" (Egan, 2018).
If Trump repeals the tariffs on solar panels, renewable energy would be just as convenient as nonrenewable energy, from a financial standpoint. Drilling for fossil fuels is not allowed on national parks (Cooper, 2001). This makes obtaining oil and gas more difficult than obtaining renewable energy in some areas. Proposing laws that would give people an incentive to use renewable energy would promote the conversion of energy resources. Barriers Although transitioning to renewable energy would be favorable, there are still various barriers. President Obama suggested lowering the amount of money that annually goes towards oil production (Weeks, 2011). The idea did not go any further since many people depend on the production of oil to supply them with jobs. Author Wenonah Hauter states "Americans look to oil and natural gas for more than three-fifths of the energy they rely upon at work, at home and on the road" (Wenonah, 1998).
The general population may suffer if oil and gas are replaced with renewable energy, such as solar or wind energy. According to CNN, President Trump has appointed tariffs on solar panels imported solar panels (Egan, 2018). This restriction has made importing solar panels less desirable for the United States. As historian William Griffin pointed out, the "government subsidies, which had kept the renewable energy industry thriving during the early 1980s, expired in 1985" (Griffin, 1992). If the government gave renewable energy financial aid like they did in the 80s, coal and other nonrenewable resources would evidently be used less. Washington DC's policymakers have previously considered raising taxes on oil and natural gas producers, which has been rejected multiple times (Weeks, 2011).
It is reasonable to believe that if taxes were raised on nonrenewable energy people would be less inclined to use it. On the other hand, policymakers did not want to tax "Big Oil" producers, but rather the independent oil producers who drill 95% of the nations nonrenewable energy (Weeks, 2011). On another note, President Trump's retraction from the Paris climate change agreement will presumably result in "the U.S.
being left behind in the fast-moving transition to a low-carbon economy" (Carrington, 2017). Although many countries are taking steps towards renewable energy, the pace will not be fast enough to avert global warming impacts. Contrary to President Jimmy Carter's plan to implement dependence on renewable energy, President Reagan decided to push oil into the world market, which eventually caused renewable energy sources to diminish (Griffin, 1992).
Solar expert Scott Sklar claimed that Reagan's policy destroyed the renewable energy industry. It was claimed that "the number of solar equipment manufacturers in the water and space-heating end of the business fell from 185 to 20 following the removal of the subsidies" (Griffin, 1992). Laws and bills being passed by the government can affect the population's opinions and ideas when it comes to energy sources.
For example, removing the tariffs set by President Trump would help push along the transition to depending on renewable energy. Actions Renewable energy can be a catalyst for change in American lives. However, there are still obstacles that must be overthrown. Congress has made areas for multiple uses in Alaska and the West of the U.S. for oil industries to drill (Cooper, 2001). However, the U.
S. Forest Service banned oil companies from drilling and building roads in forests. A report predicted that "by 2040, $7.4 trillion will have been invested in renewable energy plants, including nearly $3 trillion for solar alone" (Egan, 2018). Undoubtedly, renewable energy will become a significant part of the United States energy resource, and possibly replace nonrenewable energy as a whole. Natural gas can be considered a better nonrenewable energy source, since it is cheap, easy to install and does not pollute the air as much as other nonrenewable sources (Weeks, 2011). Although natural gas is a nonrenewable energy source, using natural gas instead of coal and oil is a step towards a sustainable future.
"Some oil companies now promote solar energy and are developing cleaner blends of gasoline," the result of this development caused a 5% reduction of carbon emissions (Cooper, 2011). This is another example of a compromise between people who prefer renewable energy and people who would rather use nonrenewable energy. The United States is capable of using energy sources that are better for the environment and the economy while obtaining energy efficiently. Some states, including California, have postponed the expansion of energy transmission lines (Cooper, 2001). This arrangement works because hydropower from Washington and Oregon are able to send electricity to other states on the West Coast. A few states have implemented mandatory renewable energy standards. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, the U.
S. puts aside $44 million for renewable energy (Durkay, 2017). Much progress has been made when it comes to the alteration of energy, but there is a significant amount of work that needs to be done to ensure that the future of the United States energy sources are stable. Conclusion Evidently, there are efficient ways to use renewable energy. However, some people are not very eager to make this change, including the government. Both renewable and nonrenewable energy options have their drawbacks, but when looking at the larger picture renewable energy has more benefits than nonrenewable energy. Laws and tariffs cause the shift of energy sources more difficult. Since nonrenewable energy has been primarily used since the '70s, transitioning to renewable energy will be an uphill battle.
The Solar Energy Industries Association claimed that 18 states in the U.S. require a minimum amount of renewable energy. With this in mind, the future of our country seems to be bright, but there is still room to grow.
All in all, converting to renewable energy would be the best decision for the greater good.

We got a little waylaid along the way. The whole problem started about 10 years ago with management and legal battles, then still trying to make albums while I was doing all of that.

The festive season screams glamour and glitter. Sequins and sparkles are on trend, as are luxe materials, golds, silvers and bronze and of course lots and lots of glitter. Take your look one step further this season by getting create with glitter, using it in your make-up look to really up the fun factor this season.
Perfect for Christmas and new year looks, glorious glitter is the ideal way to add a bit of festive fun.
Lower Lash Glitter
Typically if we're wanting to add glitter to our look, we opt to simply apply it to our top lid. This is a great look, but it's playing it a little safe. This year why not try a really stand out festive look, rather than a subtle look.
Try experimenting with glitter bellow the lower lash line, we love this idea of solid glitter on the top lid, fading up above and around the brow, with a dusting of glitter under the eye and on the cheek bones.
Double Up
Who said you should only apply glitter to one area of the face? Banish this idea and go for glittery eyes and lips this season to really embrace the festive look. Go for one stand out and unusual colour such as deep blue or burgundy, or stick to colours that are more typically seen on these areas for a slightly more subtle approach, such as pink on the lips and browns on the lids.
Dark and Daring
When we think of glitter many of us think of a glirly, feminine and pretty look, but in fact glitter is a great to create a dark grunge look with a glamorous edge, and works to add another dimension to usually flat darker shadows.
For a super luxe grunge look try applying black or charcoal shadow to the lid and crease, and then patting on glitter in layers to build it up, adding more to the crease and applying it under the eye.
Glorious Gold
Gold is the ideal way to portray festive glamour, and looks great with both a red or a nude/pink lip. Rather than opting for a dusting of gold across the lid this Christmas, instead use several gold glitters to build up a textured look. Starting with fine glitter on the lid and chunkier glitter right up to the brows and in the corners of the eyes.
A varied set of quality brushes is key when it comes to applying glitter, shadow, crease and angled brushes are all essential and can all be found here.
I love getting creative with glitter around this time of year, whether you've got a Christmas work do to attend, a big date or the an amazing new years eve party, glitter is the ideal way to inject a little extra festive fun into your look.
Know someone else who loves glitter? Share this post with them! And don't forget to let me know how you'll get creative with glitter this season.

Justia Constitutional Law Opinion SummariesArticles Posted in U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
Biery v. United States
About 100 years ago, the then-owners of land abutting a 2.88-mile stretch of rail corridor near the City of South Hutchinson, Kansas granted deeds covering that land to the predecessor of the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway (BNSF). The corridor was used by BNSF until 2004. It was then converted to a recreational trail pursuant to the National Trail Systems Act, 16 U.S.C. 1247(d). The current owners asserted that the conversion constituted a taking and sought compensation under the Fifth Amendment. The Court of Federal Claims entered summary judgment in favor of the government, finding that none of the plaintiffs possessed a fee-simple property interest in the land underlying the rail corridor that could be the subject of a taking because the land had been conveyed to the BNSF's predecessor in fee simple and not by easements. The Federal Circuit affirmed in part, finding that some of the land was conveyed to the BNSF's predecessor in fee simple, but that the railroad was only granted an easement over other land. With respect to others, the issue was clouded by chain-of-title questions. View "Biery v. United States" on Justia Law
A&D Auto Sales, Inc. v. United States
Former GM and Chrysler dealers, whose franchises were terminated in the 2009 bankruptcies of those companies, sued, alleging that the terminations constituted a taking because the government required them as a condition of its providing financial assistance to the companies. The Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 363, 365, authorizes certain sales of a debtor's assets and provides that a bankruptcy trustee "may assume or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease of the debtor." Debtors-in-possession in chapter 11 bankruptcies, like GM and Chrysler, generally have a trustee's powers. The Claims Court denied motions to dismiss. In interlocutory appeals, the Federal Circuit remanded for consideration of the issues of the "regulatory" impact of the government's "coercion" and of economic impact. While the allegations of economic loss are deficient in not sufficiently alleging that the economic value of the franchises was reduced or eliminated as a result of the government's actions, the proper remedy is to grant to leave to amend the complaints to include the necessary allegations.

Banks v. United States
In the 1830s, the Army Corps of Engineers began constructing harbor jetties into Lake Michigan near the St. Joseph River. In 1950 the Corps began encasing the jetties in steel-sheet piling. The project was completed in 1989. Plaintiffs own land along the lake shore, south of the jetties. The shoreline is eroding naturally, but plaintiffs allege that the jetties block the flow of sand and sediment from the river and the lakeshore north of their properties, interrupting the natural littoral drift and leading to increased erosion on their properties. In 1958, the Corps released a study that documented increased erosion in certain areas. Following another study, a mitigation plan was implemented in 1976, using fine sand. After 15 years of beach nourishment, efforts shifted to using coarser sediment; in 1995, the Corps dumped large rocks into the lake. The Corps released reports in 1973, 1996, 1997, and 1999 on the erosive effects of the jetties and the progress of mitigation. There was also a 1998 newspaper article concerning the erosion. In 1999, plaintiffs filed suit, alleging takings, 28 U.S.C. 1491. The Claims Court dismissed the actions as time-barred. The Federal Circuit reversed, holding that the court clearly erred in finding that plaintiffs knew or should have known of their claims before 1952 and violated the mandate of a previous remand.View "Banks v. United States" on Justia Law
Stueve Bros. Farms, LLC v. United States
In 1941, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed the Prado Dam on the Santa Ana River near Corona, California. Plaintiffs' predecessors purchased property in the flood control basin. The Corps anticipated inundation of property in that basin and paid for flowage easements to an elevation of 556 feet. In the 1970s, the Corps planned to modify the Dam, raising its height, increasing the size of the spillway, and enlarging the reservoir. The project was expected to raise the flood inundation line by 10 feet. Under a 1989 agreement, local agencies undertook to acquire or condemn needed property and easements. In 1999, the Orange County Flood Control District offered to purchase the plaintiffs' property. No agreement was reached. In 2003 the Corps issued new flood-plain maps. Local governmental agencies recorded a survey showing the 566-foot flood inundation line and arranged for placement of small surveyor's markers at the 566-foot line. Chino rezoned the plaintiffs' property below the 566-foot line for "passive recreation and open space use." There has not been any flooding above the 556-foot line before or after the dam level was raised. In 2011, the plaintiffs sued, claiming a taking of a flowage easement over their property between the 556-foot and 566-foot lines. The Claim Court Claims dismissed, holding that absent actual flooding, the plaintiffs could not sustain their claim. The governmental actions, at most, support apprehension of future flooding. The Federal Circuit affirmed. View "Stueve Bros. Farms, LLC v. United States" on Justia Law
AR Game & Fish Comm'n v. United States
Beginning in 1993 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers implemented temporary deviations from its 1953 Water Control Manual in operating the Clearwater Dam, to protect agricultural and other uses. Efforts to update the Manual were eventually abandoned. The state sought compensation for "taking" of its flowage easement based on flooding of the 23,000-acre Black River Wildlife Management Area, which resulted in excessive timber mortality. The Court of Claims awarded more than $5.5 million in damages. The Federal Circuit reversed, reasoning that temporary flooding, which is not "inevitably recurring," does not amount to a taking, but, at most, created tort liability. In 2012, the Supreme Court reversed, holding that government-induced flooding can qualify as a Fifth Amendment taking, even if temporary in duration. On remand, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Claims Court, after addressing the issues noted by the Supreme Court: whether the injury was caused by authorized government action, whether the injury was a foreseeable result of that action, and whether the injury constituted a sufficiently severe invasion that interfered with the owner's reasonable expectations as to the use of the land.

Gargiulo v. Dep't of Homeland Sec.
Based on misconduct that he allegedly committed in his previous positions as a police officer and deputy sheriff, the Transportation Security Administration suspended and ultimately revoked Gargiulo's security clearance, which was necessary for his job as a Federal Air Marshall. The Merit Systems Protection Board affirmed. On appeal, Gargiulo argued that the agency deprived him of constitutional due process by not timely providing him with documentary materials relied upon in deciding to suspend his security clearance. Although he was given notice of the reasons for the suspension of his security clearance as early as August 2008, he was not provided with copies of the documentary materials until May 2009, three months after he was suspended from his job. The Federal Circuit affirmed, stating that security clearance decisions do not implicate any due process rights. View "Gargiulo v. Dep't of Homeland Sec." on Justia Law
TrinCo Inv. Co. v. United States
Plaintiffs own properties surrounded by or adjacent to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, the largest national forest in California, encompassing approximately 2.1 million acres. In 2008 the "Iron Complex" wildfires burned within the Forest. The U.S. Forest Service intentionally lit fires to reduce unburned timber that might fuel the fires, causing destruction of 1,782 acres of marketable timber on plaintiffs' properties. Plaintiffs alleged a taking for which they should be compensated. The district court dismissed, citing the doctrine of necessity, which absolves the government from liability for any taking or destruction of property in efforts to fight fires. The Federal Circuit reversed and remanded, reasoning that not every action taken for the purpose of fire prevention is protected by the necessity doctrine. The facts pled in the complaint do not demonstrate that the Iron Complex fire created an imminent danger and an actual emergency necessitating the burning of 1,782 acres. View "TrinCo Inv. Co. v. United States" on Justia Law
Rack Room Shoes v. United States
The companies, which import clothing and footwear, filed suit in the Court of International Trade, alleging that classifications in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States discriminated on the basis of age or gender in violation of the equal protection clause of the Due Process Clause. Those classifications assess different tariff rates depending on whether footwear or clothing is subcategorized as being for youth, men, or for women. The Trade Court dismissed for failure to state a claim. The Federal Circuit affirmed. Where a law is facially neutral, a party pleading discrimination under equal protection must show that the law has a disparate impact resulting from a discriminatory purpose. Proving discriminatory intent requires more than mere awareness of consequences; it would require proving that Congress enacted the classifications "because of, not merely in spite of, [their] adverse effects upon an identifiable group."

Ladd v. United States
In 1903 the railroad acquired a right-of-way for a 100-foot wide, 76-mile long, strip across Arizona land near the Mexican border. After operating for about 100 years, the railroad initiated proceedings to abandon the railway with the Department of Transportation's Surface Transportation Board, which issued a Notice of Interim Trail or Abandonment (NITU) in 2006 authorizing conversion to a public trail under the National Trails System Act Amendments of 1983, 16 U.S.C. 1247(d). The landowners sued, alleging that issuance of the NITU constituted a compensable taking. The claims court dismissed, reasoning that the government had not physically invaded the property. The Federal Circuit reversed and held that the takings claim accrued when the 2006 NITU issued. During discovery on remand, the government produced a NITU affecting the property that had issued in 1998. There was no indication that the NITU was published; the landowners submitted declarations that they were not aware of the 1998 NITU. The claims court held that the limitations period began in 1998 and that the claims were time-barred. The Federal Circuit reversed. In these circumstances, the government's interest in bright-line legal rules must yield to the landowners' right to receive actual or constructive notice that their claims have accrued. View "Ladd v. United States" on Justia Law
Smith v. United States
Smith was disbarred by the Tenth Circuit in 1996, followed by reciprocal disbarments by the Fifth Circuit, the U.S. District of Colorado and Northern District of Texas, and the Colorado Supreme Court. In 2007, the Tenth Circuit granted reinstatement, provided that Smith met conditions. The conditions were satisfied, and Smith was reinstated. The other courts then readmitted him to their bars, except the Colorado Supreme Court. The United States District Court for the District of Colorado then reversed itself and denied reinstatement, because Smith remained disbarred by the Colorado Supreme Court. The Tenth Circuit affirmed. Smith filed suit in the Court of Federal Claims, seeking compensation and equitable relief, alleging violations substantive and procedural due process and of equal protection, and judicial takings of his private property right to practice law and make a living. The Claims Court dismissed, reasoning that absent a money-mandating statute providing for compensation for such government action, it had no jurisdiction and that because the revocation actions became final no later than 1999, suit under the Tucker Act was barred by the six-year limitations period, 28 U.S.C. 2501.. The Federal Circuit affirmed. View "Smith v. United States" on Justia Law

Old ghost gear finds new use
It's hard to think about the thousands of animals - whales, dolphins, turtles and birds - that get caught and die in lost and discarded fishing gear, or ghost gear, every year.
Most of us have seen amazing videos or read heartbreaking stories about whales caught in nets and the often daring rescues that have to happen to save them.
These rescues are so important to protect our precious ocean life but what if we could prevent old nets from getting into the ocean in the first place?
That's exactly what Joel Baziuk, Operations Supervisor at Steveston Harbour Authority in British Columbia, is doing. We had the pleasure of visiting Joel in late March to hear more about the net recycling program he is involved in with partners Aquafil and Interface Inc. to turn old nets into carpet tiles and other products.
Joel's initial interest in this program was environmental, as previously the only way to deal with old nets was dumping them or piling them in a landfill but it was the impact on animals that really drove it home. "Although recycling for its own sake is a noble initiative, what really motivates me to grow this program is our ability to help prevent ghost gear from entering the environment and causing such enormous harm to marine animals - in my eyes, this is what really makes this project special.", he said.
With the first load already shipped to the Aquafil plant in Slovenia, Joel is looking for ways to expand the program to as many other harbours as possible. Local fishers get a second source of income as well. Joel employs them in the off-season to prepare the 40,000 pounds of nylon netting needed for each load.
During our visit I heard Joel say, "I just want to make things better than the way I found them". I think we're safe to say that he is well on his way.
Through our Sea Change campaign we are working with individuals like Joel, fishing businesses and governments to stop ghost gear from getting into the ocean, removing it wherever possible and supporting rescue efforts around the world.

Four Naval Vessels Will Illuminate To-Night -- May 28, 2011
President William McKinley visited San Francisco in 1901 to break ground for the Admiral Dewey monument in Union Square and to observe the battleship Ohio being constructed at the Union Iron Works. Battleship Iowa served in the Spanish-American War. Battleship Wisconsin and torpedo boat Farragut were built by the Union Iron Works. Cruiser Philadelphia served various roles from 1890 to 1926. Admiral Silas Casey III was the son of a Civil War Union Army general.
From the 14-May-1901 San Francisco Call. William A Coulter did many maritime drawings for the newspaper. Click on the image to see a larger version.
FOUR NAVAL VESSELS WILL ILLUMINATE TO-NIGHT IN PRESIDENT McKINLEY'S HONOR.
Battleships Iowa and Wisconsin, Cruiser Philadelphia and Torpedo-Boat Farragut Will Make a Magnificent Showing on the Bay During the Presidential Reception in the Grand Nave of the Ferry Building — Each Man-of-War Will Be Decorated With Bunting and Electric Lights
THE warships now in port are all in readiness for the grand display to-night. The Farragut came over from Sausalito yesterday and during the afternoon her captain went aboard the flagship. The captains of the Wisconsin and Philadelphia also went aboard the Iowa and all three received their final instructions from Admiral Casey. The Farragut did not remain in the stream, but went back to her anchorage at Sausalito. She will be on hand to-night, however, and will help in the display to be made by the big vessels. Everything for the illuminating of the Iowa, Wisconsin and Philadelphia is ready and a few hours' work will see all in place. Each vessel will have her name spelled ouf in lights along her side, while the fighting masts and superstructures will be one mass of fiery designs. During the afternoon every man that can be spared will be landed at the foot of Folsom street. Both marines and bluejackets will then march to Fourth and Townsend streets, where they will take part in the parade in honor of the President. On their return to their respective ships they will proceed to get ready for the illumination of the evening.

Boot Jelly and Shirt Coffee -- May 15, 2011
Doctor Peter Henri Van Der Weyde wrote the series of articles which gave this blog its name. This article, excerpted from the 17-October-1874 Scientific American mentions an unusual culinary experiment.
Boot Jelly And Shirt Coffee.
Some time ago, Dr. Vander Weyde, of New-York City, regaled some friends not merely with boot jelly, but with shirt coffee, and the repast was pronounced by all partakers excellent. The doctor tells us that he made the jelly by first cleaning the boot, and subsequently boiling it with soda, under a pressure of about two atmospheres. The tannic acid in the leather, combined with salt, made tannate of soda, and the gelatin rose to the top, whence it was removed and dried. From this last, with suitable flavoring material, the jelly was readily concocted. The shirt coffee, which we incidentally mentioned above, was sweetened with cuff and collar sugar, both coffee and sugar being produced in the same way. The linen (after, of course, washing) was treated with nitric acid, which, acting on the lignite contained in the fibre, produced glucose, or grape sugar. This, roasted, made an excellent imitation coffee, which an addition of unroasted glucose readily sweetened.

Nada Surf – "Rushing" Video (Stereogum Premiere)
After performing "Cold To See Clear" on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday, Nada Surf have released the video for another You Know Who You Are track, "Rushing." Shot on-site in Paris, the clip narrates the path of two people whose spontaneous affections remind viewers of the profundities and excitement to be found throughout life's small moments. Nada Surf frontman Matthew Caws is there to witness the romance in bloom. Here's Caws with some background on the video:
i've known sarah and emilie barbault for a long time. i did the music for two short films of theirs, a day of lucidity and pleurer des larmes d'enfance. they shot the video for the minor alps song "waiting for you." we'd wanted to make another video together for a long time. the song is about the transporting feeling of new love. i wrote it with dan wilson. we were writing together to see what it would be like, not for nada surf necessarily. it was a really wonderful experience. he has such a great musical and lyrical mind. i was originally hoping that this song would be sung by a woman because while there is (more and more) pressure on men to be attractive, there is still clearly more on women, and this song touches on body-consciousness in the chorus, how the right person can make you forget issues of appearance, and more holistically can pull your mind up out of your body and into a plane of one-ness, of spirit. there's a line about watching the human river go by, when you're not participating or can't find your way in.
we had a great day taking the subway all over paris and shooting wherever felt good. it was fun to play for the commuters but i'm sure they were wondering why i wasn't singing a famous song.
Watch "Rushing" below along with the Seth Meyers performance of "Cold To See Clear."
You Know Who You Are is out tomorrow, 3/4, on Barsuk/City Slang. Pre-order it from Barsuk, City Slang, iTunes, or Amazon.

In this post I'll talk about SAE 8637. First let's describe it and then have a look at its material's properties.
What is SAE 8637?SAE 8637 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel that contains 0.37% carbon, approximately.
ApplicationThey are used in seamless mechanical tubing.
UNS NumberG86370
Ok let's start with SAE 8637 Chemical Composition.

Allowable Stress or Factor of SafetyDepends on the project (And its factor of safety).
Learn more about Allowable Stress or Factor of Safety.
My Material's Ranking ResearchWhile engineers will often look for the cheapest material they can use, I took a different approach to material's selection to help newbie students.
I ranked materials according to their yield strengths and SAE 8637 currently ranks 83 in my yield strength index. This means there are other 82 materials that are more resistant.
Note: I've analysed 162 materials in order to create an yield strength index. Check my material's comparison post for more details.
