Toe conditions can be the result of hereditary or congenital causes or acquired over time. Often footwear can exacerbate problems. Sometime these can be managed with simple conservative non-surgical treatment, but other times may require surgery to correct the problem. Below are a few of the more common foot problems.
Arthritis of the big toe joint
You have developed arthritis of the big toe joint. This is often associated with a bony bump(s) on the side or top of the joint. This bump may have become red and sore and is often called a 'Bunion'. Read more >>
Your big toe joint has moved out of alignment. This causes the big toe to turn towards your second toe causing a bony bump to stick out at the side of your foot. This bump may have become red and sore and is known as a 'Bunion' Read more >>
Freiberg's Disease
This is an uncommon disease where the blood supply is compromised to the second metatarsal head, most commonly seen in teenage girls. Read more >>
Lesser Toe Claw-Mallet-Hammer Toe
The toes have buckled making some of the joint prominent. This causes rubbing on the joints making them red and painful. Read more >>
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown nails are indeed just that! The nail edge has cut or buried itself into the flesh around the nail edge. Read more >>
Sesamoid Pain
Sesamoid pain occurs under the big toe joint. The sesamoid bones are 2 small pebble bones that form part of the joint. Read more >>

Police are urging partygoers to keep an eye on their drinks this New Year's Eve.
Posters have been put up across the North East to remind people of the dangers of having their drinks spiked.
As revellers hit the bars tomorrow night they are being urged to keep an eye on their drinks at all time and not to accept new ones from strangers.
Drug rape is one of the fastest growing crimes in the UK and police want to promote awareness of the dangers. There are more than 40 date-rape drugs.
Supt Jim Peacock, Northumbria Police's head of community safety, said: "We're pleased with the response we've had from the pubs and clubs throughout the region in displaying our warning posters. We hope this will be a timely reminder for revellers.
"Without wishing to cause alarm, we want people to take some simple precautions, enjoy themselves and get home safely.
"Spiking drinks is no more prevalent in Northumbria than any other area but we don't want it happening at all."
The Make Mine a Safe One warning posters have been sent around the region's pubs and clubs telling people to protect their drinks from people who might try to add illegal substances.
The posters show a sprig of holly in an alcoholic drink with the message "Spiked?", and were distributed through licensing officers based in the region.
Newcastle-born solicitor Lynda Greenwood set up the Roofie Foundation in 1997, after her drink was spiked on a blind date. The free helpline offers support and information to victims of drug-rleated rape or sexual assault.
Up to July this year, more than 6,000 cases of drug rape or sexual abuse were reported to the helpline, with 642 victims from the North East.
Spokesman Graham Rhodes said: "People should always be aware of the danger that, wherever you are, someone may try to spike your drink. Never leave a drink unattended. If you go to the loo, take your drink with you. If, for whatever reason, you've left it unattended, don't drink it. If a stranger offers you a drink, don't accept it. Even if workmates or acquaintances offer you a drink, make sure you see it either poured or opened and ensure no one touches it except the bar person prior to drinking it. Remember, these drugs are tasteless and odourless."
The Roofie Foundation helpline is. 0800 783 2980. Anyone raped or sexually assaulted, or thinks they may have been, should call police or Rape Examination Advice Counselling & Help on: (0191) 212 1551.

Does anyone remember Jennifer Ringley and Sean Patrick? Over 10 years ago, tens of thousands of Americans brought The Truman Show to reality by broadcasting themselves live for anyone to see. Webcams, people forget (especially people my age), were the original web videos. JenniCam and Sean Patrick Live drew thousands of viewers and became one-person brands long before Fred and Ryan Higa. Webcams were low-res and low-energy, but they were voyeurism incarnate.
You know the Internet is old when it starts to repeat itself. (more…)

Cosmopolitan life in Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s would seem to hold no secrets for us any longer. Movies like 'Cabaret', books from authors like Christopher Isherwood and prints and paintings by George Grosz and Otto Dix have created an indelible image of a city full of entertainment, gaiety and decadence, where nightlife blossomed as it never had before. French artist Chas Laborde also did his part to contributing to this image.
Jean Giraudoux, who wrote the text for Rues & visages de Berlin (1930), was also a diplomat, besides being a writer. As a young man, he had impulsively devoted himself to the study of Germanics. Because of this, he knew Germany quite well. He travelled around there a great deal, and was even the home tutor for the duke of Saxony-Meiningen in Munich for a short time. He was the right man for a well-informed story about Berlin, and the book certainly excelled because of its historical background information, anecdotes, and original observations. Giraudoux would also parody the German customs and habits.
Festive city
Chas Laborde illustrated Rues & visages de Berlin with visible delight and with plenty of 'Schwung'. Vivacious pre-World War I citizens of Berlin are clearly enjoying themselves in a festive city that was still whole and complete. Crowds shopping on the Potzdammerplatz and in the Friedrichstrasse. The courtyard of a working-class district. Sundays in the park. There were crowds everywhere: in the streets, in the parks, in the swimming pools and in the nightclubs. The girls with graceful hats and berets. But were those girls in the 'Casanova', in the luxury department stores or along the Kurfürstendamm truly all actual girls? Giraudoux had his doubts about that, for transvestism and prostitution flourished in Berlin. Some fat matrons and bloated gentlemen, dandies and snobs, gay girls and soldiers bring to mind those of George Grosz, to whom Chas Laborde is often compared. But although Laborde would also frequently give a rather wry impression of cosmopolitan nightlife, his prints remain less crude and venomous than those by his German contemporary.
Rues & visages de Berlin was published in Paris by Éditions de la Roseraie as a silver-coloured portfolio with loose-leaf prints and a text quire. There were two separate series of 18 etchings: one set in black-and-white and one in colour. The text itself also includes many amusing drawings that brighten up the pages and give Giraudoux's atmospheric story extra power.
Chas Laborde also illustrated books by other popular writers such as Jacques de Lacretelle, Anatole France, Willy and Colette, Francis Carco and Guy de Maupassant. But he was also a writer himself, well known for his La porte ouverte (75 cartoons with accompanying aphorisms) and the witty Théodore et le petit chinois (1943), published posthumously by his nephew Guy Laborde. Another work to appear after his death was École de patience: la guerre vue par Chas Laborde (1951), in which his experiences from World War I are represented in words and images. He was closely involved in battles and became the victim of a poison attack as an infantryman. This fate makes believable what Laborde's friend Pierre Mac Orlan claimed in his preface to École de patience. He described Chas Laborde as 'un sentimental d'une grande délicatesse et d'une pudicité encore plus grande' (a sensitive and extremely subtle man, of even greater timidity). He had also experienced the trenches of 1914-1918 from extremely close by. He died right after seeing a German battalion march past on the Place de l'Étoile in 1941, according to Mac Orlan from outright grief. Laborde had observed the Germans in their own capital ten years before, but he apparently could not bear the sight of seeing them in his own city as military conquerors.

It was well past time for a family film to hit the marketplace, with Disney's poorly received Planes holding on as long as it did simply because there was a complete dearth of family films in release. So unsurprisingly, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 topped rather easily with a strong $35 million debut, higher than the original's $30 million bow 4 years ago. It should also do well going forward, as it received an "A-" Cinemascore and benefits from another lack of upcoming kiddie flicks, until Free Birds comes out in November.
Another wide release this weekend was Ron Howard's Rush, which expanded to 2,300 screens and only earned about $10 million, which is pretty middling for the extremely well reviewed film, but I was expecting that, given the lack of interest in Formula One racing in the United States. It did get an "A-" from the audience though, and could possibly hold on strong, but it's facing big competition in the coming weeks from other films targeting adults, like next weekend's Gravity. Joseph Gordon Levitt's directorial effort Don Jon also opened wide to just $9 million and a terrible "C-" Cinemascore (despite good reviews), so that one's probably a non-starter, and the Paula Patton starring comedy Baggage Claim got $9.3 million and another A- rating, but given the low budgets of both these films, they won't be considered flops and may even be profitable after their respective theater runs.
Top 5:
- Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2- $35 million
- Prisoners- $11.3 million
- Rush- $10.3 million
- Baggage Claim- $9.3 million
- Don Jon- $9 million
In the holdovers, Prisoners held relatively well in second place, but like Rush, is facing massive competition next week and the weeks after that could limit its final take, and Instructions Not Included passed Pan's Labyrinth this weekend to become the highest grossing Spanish language film of all time in the U.S. Next up, it's Alfonso Cuaron's long awaited Gravity, starring Sandra Bullock (yay- I finally get to see it!) against the Ben Affleck-Justin Timberlake movie Runner Runner.

For many years, when teachers at private schools were forced out over claims of sexual misconduct, administrators let the accused quietly move on to teach elsewhere. The pattern was so common it earned its own grim moniker: "passing the trash."
A report released this month by Choate Rosemary Hall, an elite Connecticut boarding school, is filled with instances of men who had been accused of sexually abusing students, yet were allowed to keep teaching. Now accusations have emerged that two of the men may have abused students at other schools.
Two women have come forward to accuse one former teacher, Frederic Lyman — who was forced to leave Choate over claims of sexual misconduct in 1982 — of inappropriate behavior while he was on the faculty at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., before he came to Choate.
After leaving Choate with a recommendation, he got a job at a school in Colorado, Kent Denver.
Officials at The Gunnery, another boarding school in Connecticut, say they are investigating a possible instance of misconduct by another teacher, Jaime Rivera-Murillo.
He taught at The Gunnery before he went to Choate. Mr. Rivera was accused of raping a Choate student in 1999, according to that school's report, and was fired.
Like Mr. Lyman, Mr. Rivera moved on to teach again — in this case at public schools, leaving Choate off his résumé.
Mr. Lyman did not respond to multiple attempts to contact him. Through a lawyer, he declined to speak with Choate's investigators at the firm Covington & Burling, the report said. Mr. Rivera did not respond to phone calls or a request for comment through his lawyer. He told Choate's investigators that he drank with his students the night of the alleged assault that let to his dismissal, but denied any sexual misconduct.
Mr. Lyman spent two years at Choate, from 1980 to 1982. He is accused of having sexually abused two students, having sex with them in his apartment, in his car and on a school trip, and of eventually giving at least one of them herpes, according to investigators. The Choate report said that his behavior had been discovered and that he had been forced to resign.
But now two women have come forward to raise troubling questions about his behavior before he arrived at Choate, when he was at Andover.
One woman approached the school with a report about him, which was passed along to a law firm the school employs to "fully investigate her concerns," a spokeswoman for Andover said in an email. Andover declined to provide details on the allegations.
A second woman, who attended Andover's summer session in 1980, brought her account to The New York Times. That woman spoke on the condition of anonymity as a victim of sexual misconduct.
The woman said that Mr. Lyman had given her alcohol, and that they had held hands and walked with their arms around each other. He tried to kiss her. She had been flattered that her teacher had taken an interest in her, she said. On a group camping trip, the student woke up in the middle of the night to find Mr. Lyman kissing and stroking her arms. She said she had pretended to be asleep.
"It would have been so easy for things to happen, but I drew the line," she said.
"He groomed them," she said of young women at Choate with whom Mr. Lyman is said to have engaged in sexual relationships. "And if I had been with him for longer, he may have groomed me, too. I was only there for six weeks."
Andover said that Mr. Lyman was a teaching fellow at the school during the 1978-79 academic year, and that he taught at the summer session in 1979. A spokeswoman said that because the school had "limited records" of who taught at summer sessions during that time, it could neither confirm nor deny that he was on the faculty during the summer of 1980.
Jan Thomas, a spokeswoman for Kent Denver, said Thursday that the school had no knowledge of Mr. Lyman's issues at Choate until contacted by a reporter last week, and that there was no evidence that he had engaged in "physically inappropriate" behavior at Kent Denver, she said. He left the school, and education, in 1984, after two years at the Colorado school.
Then, on Friday, Rand Harrington, the head of school at Kent Denver, sent an email about Mr. Lyman and sexual abuse to members of the school community, including alumni. The school received a response that evening, Ms. Thomas said, but she would not say whether Mr. Lyman was the subject of the response, citing confidentiality.
Five states, including Connecticut, have enacted "pass the trash" bills that aim to keep teachers who commit abuse from cycling to other schools. Some of these laws prohibit school districts from entering into agreements with abusers that may suppress information about sexual misconduct, for example, or they might require applicants to disclose if they were ever the subject of a sexual misconduct investigation, unless the charges were proved false.
"Some schools were doing the exact same thing that the Catholic Church did if they had an abuser in their midst," said Jetta Bernier, the executive director of Massachusetts Citizens for Children, a nonprofit advocacy group, and a member of an "educator sexual misconduct" task force convened by two private-school organizations. "It's the same human dynamic. If we just get rid of him, it'll be O.K."
In Connecticut, educators have been required to report any allegations of sexual abuse to the state authorities since 1967. But Choate made no reports until 2010, even when it forced teachers out.
Mr. Lyman left Choate with a letter of recommendation. The dean of faculty at Choate, Charles Twichell, who is now dead, wrote the letter, in which he described Mr. Lyman's "easy familiarity with students."
Mr. Twichell also appears to have provided a phone reference for Mr. Lyman and was able to skirt any difficult questions about Mr. Lyman. The Choate report describes handwritten notes by Mr. Twichell dated April 19, 1982, that described a 10-minute conversation: "He asked good questions, which I could answer without any except very mild cautions about 'distance.'"
In 1999, while on a school trip to Costa Rica, according to the Choate report, Mr. Rivera is said to have grabbed the breasts of one student, and raped another student in a pool. The school's dean of students was immediately dispatched to Costa Rica; Mr. Rivera was recalled to Choate and fired within days.
Choate administrators did not report the allegations about Mr. Rivera's behavior to the authorities, leaving him free to work in education again because no red flags were placed in his record.
By 2000, Mr. Rivera was again teaching, this time at Henry Abbott Technical High School, a public school in Danbury, Conn. The state said it no longer had his original résumé on file, but when he applied for a supervisory position in 2003, Choate was not on it, though he did list another private school where he had taught, The Gunnery in Washington, Conn.
On Saturday, The Gunnery sent an email to alumni and parents alerting them to an allegation it received about Mr. Rivera "during his employment at The Gunnery in the 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 school years." The message went on, "We are moving quickly to investigate this allegation and determine the facts around the circumstances of his departure to Choate."
When asked whether Mr. Rivera had received a letter of recommendation from The Gunnery, Ken Mason, a spokesman for the school, declined to comment beyond the emailed statement.
Mr. Rivera went on to work in public schools in Connecticut and New York, becoming principal of Wamogo Regional High School in Litchfield, Conn., at the beginning of this school year. Regional School District 6 provided Mr. Rivera's résumé to The Times at The Times's request. The earliest teaching job Mr. Rivera listed was at Henry Abbott Technical High School, where, he said, he started in 2001.
None of the schools where he worked after Choate say they have received complaints against him.
Edward Drapp, the superintendent, said the district had run the required background check, which includes fingerprinting, and called people beyond those Mr. Rivera had listed as references. But the hiring committee, made up of 12 people, found nothing.
A letter Mr. Drapp sent out to the community this month said Choate's investigator had contacted the district's lawyer on April 5 to say that witnesses had corroborated the allegations against Mr. Rivera. He resigned from Wamogo the next day.
"Choate put us in the middle of something we should not have been in the middle of," Mr. Drapp said.
"I don't think there's anything more we could have done to have found out the nature of the allegations or that they were out there," he continued. "The system is only as good as the people using it."

SPEEDING FINES: Warwick ex-cop slams 'revenue raising' claim
I JUST read Michael Nolan's piece "HOTSPOTS: Where Warwick Police catch the most speeders" in Saturday's Warwick Daily News.
It was a very good story. Knowing what I do through keeping my ear to the ground though, I wasn't surprised at the content or any of the high-ticket locations.
Nor was I surprised by the comments on Facebook when it ran there. I knew before looking the words "revenue raising" were going to feature in a comment or two.
Speaking as a former copper, I can assure you the last thing I ever had on my mind when enforcing traffic regulations was "revenue raising".
I never had "quotas" or "kill sheets" thrust upon me by anyone.
We did have performance indicators for stations/units and individual officers.
They generally related to the amounts of time spent per week or shift on traffic enforcement, but there was never any demand that a certain number of or dollar value of infringements were issued.
Mind you, I wrote plenty of tickets. I've always strived to do my best in any job I've ever done. If I was doing a few hours of traffic duty I would go where I knew I would be more likely to do some actual enforcement.
So rather than just sit on the side of the road and smile and wave, I'd target where I knew offences were being committed. Same as I do when I engage in my favourite pastime. fishing.
There's no point going fishing where there ain't no fish.
It never was really that hard to be motivated to enforce those laws. Some people like to argue that police are on a "power trip" or some other malarkey when they book you. I've never been that complex, to be honest.
To me it was always about making the roads safer.
Dealing with the aftermath of road trauma always kept that "front and centre" in my head.
Enforcement of traffic regulations needs to be a priority of the police to save lives on the road.
It's simple to see how effective things such as mandatory seat belts, random breath testing and speeding enforcement have lowered Australia's road tolls in the past 50 years.
In 1970, a staggering 3800 Aussies died on our roads. That was at a rate of 31 persons per 100,000 population. Compare that to last year where this figure was reduced to under 1150 fatalities.
That's now less than five persons per 100,000 population. Still too many, but a massive improvement.
When you look at these figures over that time period you can see sharp drops every time there was a new tactic brought in by the authorities, be it seatbelts, RBT or speed cameras.
As far as traffic enforcement being revenue raising, well by the nature of it, of course it is.
But it's entirely voluntary.
Break the law and get caught and you volunteer to contribute. Simple.
Fines need to be high to deter people from speeding.
The "lowest" speeding ticket (less than 12 over the limit) costs $174 now.
A voluntary contribution I've managed to avoid for the past 33 years or so. Well at least until last month. Ooops.
Hey, Michael, I need to add another location to the list, though technically it's not in the Warwick area. The Cunningham Highway opposite the service station near the RAAF base at Amberley.
It used to be 100 but now it's an 80 zone. My fault entirely. I'll cop it and remember the pain of paying it.
The only problem I have is the photo shows the back of my car, not the front.
For $174 I'd at least like to be able to see my smiling face in the picture, at least I could use it for my passport!!

Rupture (2016) for electronics. 6 min.
I wrote this piece only using two sound concepts: scratchy noise and ambient space chords. I wanted as much contrast between the two sounds as possible, to the point where I questioned whether these two sounds should be paired in the first place. I further separated the two using panning, which is amplified if this piece is listened to with headphones. I wrote this with no performance in mind, or any long-term goal; I just wanted to write an electronic piece that I would find interesting and would enjoy listening to.
This piece was first presented publicly on my senior recital, on November 18th, 2016.
There is no score for this piece.

32 Members of Congress Support Human Rights Defender Issa Amro
This was published by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) on June 29, 2017
On June 28, 32 Members of Congress sent a letter to the State Department calling on the United States to urge Israel to reconsider its charges against Palestinian human rights defender Issa Amro.
Issa faces 18 charges in Israeli military court stemming from his nonviolent activism against illegal Israeli settlements in the city of Hebron. These courts convict Palestinians at a 99.74 percent rate, a fact which led these Members of Congress to fear the court "will not render a fair and impartial verdict."
The letter also defends "the right of Palestinians to peacefully politically organize and demonstrate."
Please thank these Members of Congress for speaking out on behalf of Issa and the right of Palestinians to protest Israel's military occupation and settlements.
Take Action
Here's the list (alphabetically by last name) of the 32 Members of Congress who signed the letter:
Karen Bass (CA-37), Don Beyer (VA-8), Earl Blumenauer (OR-3), Salud Carbajal (CA-24), André Carson (IN-7), John Conyers (MI-13), Danny Davis (IL-7), Peter DeFazio (OR-4), Keith Ellison (MN-5), Anna Eshoo (CA-18), Tulsi Gabbard (HI-2), Raúl Grijalva (AZ-3), Luis Gutiérrez (IL-4), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC-Delegate), Jared Huffman (CA-2), Pramila Jayapal (WA-7), Eddie Bernice Johnson (TX-30), Hank Johnson (GA-4), Marcy Kaptur (OH-9), Ro Khanna (CA-17), Barbara Lee (CA-13), Zoe Lofgren (CA-19), Alan Lowenthal (CA-47), Betty McCollum (MN-4), Jim McGovern (MA-2), Gwen Moore (WI-4), Chellie Pingree (ME-1), Mark Pocan (WI-2), David Price (NC-4), Bobby Rush (IL-1), Jackie Speier (CA-14), and Peter Welch (VT-At Large).

Ian Dow is living his best life — out of an ambulance.
The nomad, from Newport Beach, California, revamped the unconventional wheels to travel the world.
He said he was inspired to buy the ambulance after getting in a motorcycle accident.
"I'd been searching for a van to convert and was blinded by the Sprinter fad," Dow, 33, wrote to ABC News of the trendy Mercedes van. "After getting burned by a Craigslist seller -- he backed out after I drove 12 hours to buy his Sprinter -- I was depressed and I crashed my motorcycle. Then I had an epiphany. I was in pain and needed some emergency help. Sitting on the couch that night with a busted shoulder, I searched eBay for ambulances, found a cheap one, and even Google Earthed the charity listed as the seller, finding the ambulance parked right outside."
He paid the charity $2,800 for it last year, and after some work, he said, the interior makes him feel "comfortable and happy."
"Considering the Sprinter would have cost me $8,000, I felt like I got a screamin' deal," said Dow. "I finished it with materials I like. The teak floors, subway tiled kitchen, exotic hardwood table, cedar-lined closet, bamboo cutting surfaces and guitar inlay accents all keep a smile on my face."
The adventurer even added a sundeck on the roof with an extendable umbrella.
"It's a beast of a machine and draws a lot of interest from locals and travelers alike," he told ABC News.
But there are some drawbacks.
"It's really heavy and restricts my ability to get far off the beaten track," said Dow. "I'm accustomed to traveling on a motorcycle where I can get up or down any trail but I've thrown that away for my comforts. Although I've brought the bike along with me I can't leave the dog and ambulance for days on end while getting lost somewhere."
How does he make a living to pay for his travels?
"I have been on the move for 10 years now and haven't had a steady job the whole time," he said. "I once was an art director on a film, a set designer and fabricator, an artist manager, music producer, graphic designer, painter. Life on the road is surprisingly cheap and I manage to survive with very little funds."
Dow said a big reason he is living this wanderer life, although he loves it, is due to a nasty breakup.
"My ex-fiancé and I spent a year making music together which she now sells in Poland and has yet to send me a cent for," he said, adding, "Ew, I sound bitter, but then again I guess I should."

He said that's what made his travel companion, his friend Dylan Griffin, such a good match for the road.
"Dylan also recently was broken up with by his fiancé in Australia so we had a similar mindset for traveling together," said Dow.
For four months, Griffin, Dow and his pup, Dino, have traveled south through Baja, across the ferry to mainland Mexico, then "hugged the Pacific coastline surfing and fishing along the way south through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua," he said.
They are in Costa Rica now with no immediate plans to leave, because Dow likes to "play it by ear."
We made it to Costa Rica tonight just in time to catch the sunset at a perfect little free camping spot. We're all stocked up on the cheaper Nicaraguan grocerys and ready to explore the greenest country on earth. #holacostarica . . . . #costarica#vantravel#panamerican#overland#overlander#beachfront#beachview#oceanview#sunset#costaricasunset#vanlifesunset#happydays#camping#costa#rightbythebeach#vanlife#vanlifetravel#ambulancelife#vanlifestyle
His advice for others looking to do something similar?
"Just do it," he said.
Might have bit off a little more than we could chew with this road to Punta Mango in El Salvador last week. We, literally, scraped by and bounced our way down to the point where we found a perfect camping spot. After a few nights stay we climbed back up this bad boy and got two huge rocks stuck in between the dually tires on the rear of the ambo. Lost a tire but we were able to ratchet the rocks out and limp to town where we got 2 new(used) tires for $70. Ambo got its first dent in the diamond plate but after 6,000 miles of the type of traveling we've put her through, that ain't bad. #amborockclimb#offroadambo #ambulancelife#outdooradventure#overlanding#overland#overlandambulance#panamerican#elsalvador#playamango#beachroad#certralamericatravel#overlandtravel#panamericantravel#offroad#rockcrawl#oops#dually#ambulance#traveler#travels#traveling#ontheroad

Greater Western Sydney coach Alan McConnell concedes all the pressure is on the Giants heading into their AFLW clash with the Western Bulldogs.
The high-flying Bulldogs can lock up a home grand final if they win the game at Canberra's UNSW Oval on Saturday night.
But even if they lose, it would still take something extraordinary for them not to feature in the decider on March 24.
After two losses to begin the season - including a home defeat against Carlton where they kicked only one goal - the Giants have stormed up to fourth.
GWS are only two points behind second-placed Brisbane with two rounds to play.
"The reality is there is probably a bigger outcome for us than there is for the Bulldogs. They can drop two and still make it and we can't afford to drop one," McConnell said.
"I'm sure the Bulldogs would like a home final and a win for them would give them that and a win for us keeps us alive in the competition."
The Bulldogs are missing key players Katie Brennan, Daria Bannister and Izzy Huntington but leading goal kicker Brooke Lochland is always a threat up forward.
Lochland, a former ice skater, kicked an AFLW record seven goals in a 73-point demolition of Carlton in February.
"Their form is pretty good, you'd say they're the team to beat at the moment. They're certainly the highest scoring team in the competition and play very good footy so they will be a big challenge for us," McConnell said.
"I think we're quite different teams, so they tend to want to play the game a bit on the outside and we tend to want to play the game a bit on the inside. It will be interesting to see who wins that battle."

Why Is Rent So Expensive?/
The reality for renters right now: you're going to need to cough up at least $1,500 - $2,000 a month (plus utilities) for a one bedroom condo rental unit in Toronto. On average, this will get you between 500-700 square feet of living space.
So why is rent so high? When will rising rents stabilize or decline?Read More

The latest new beginning on the aboriginal file was announced this week in Ottawa. The much-derided department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada will be split in two: Indigenous Services will attend to the delivery of government programs, while Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs will focus on the broad relationship.
If you are the sort to think that more government attention is what Canada's Indigenous people need, perhaps you would welcome the move. Alternately, you might think this latest move, in the context of Canada's 150th anniversary "celebrations", marks the end of any reasonable hope for aboriginal advancement, perhaps for a generation.
The new approach is that Indigenous Services will continue the usual bang-up job the government does of managing the billions the federal government spends on status Indians for welfare, child services, schools, housing, safe water and health care.
If you think more government attention is what Indigenous people need, perhaps you welcome the move
The Crown-Indigenous bureau will handle the broader relations on treaties, land claims, environmental consultations and the like. Carolyn Bennett, the minister of this new department said that "it's about de-colonizing. It's about getting rid of paternalism."
Government departments regulate and spend, the latter of which comes with certain oversight for accountability. Regulation and oversight are by nature activities that are — if you are inclined to characterize it that way — paternalistic. That's what we call it when we are discussing aboriginal matters, employing the masculine image. When we are talking about everybody else, we opt for the feminine and call it the nanny state. Paternalism or maternalism, it is generally what government does. If you want less of it, you need less government.
Why does the future look bleak? Recall where we were exactly 25 years ago this week, at one of the previous new beginnings. On Aug. 28, 1992, the Charlottetown Accord was signed by the first ministers and aboriginal leaders. That Accord — defeated in a referendum in October of the same year — proposed to establish aboriginal self-government in the constitution, making it a third order of government akin to the federal and provincial governments, with its own power to pass laws.
Paternalism or maternalism, it is generally what government does
One hears very little about aboriginal self-government today, and has not in recent years. The likely reason is that a new story is now the dominant tale that is told, reaching great prominence in this sesquicentennial year of Confederation. The dominant tale is that the relations between "crown" — French, British and then the Dominion of Canada — and Indigenous people are a tragic tale of brutality and racism. The idea of Canada as a "genocidal" project — endorsed by no less than the chief justice of Canada — moves Crown-Indigenous relations on to the territory of restitution and ameliorative initiatives.
What it precludes is any serious emphasis on Indigenous peoples as protagonists of their own development. If the dominant story is that Canada has done horrific things to its first peoples, the solution must be for Canada to do honourable things to its first peoples. The protagonist though remains the same, Canada's government.
In the Charlottetown negotiations, a rather different dynamic was at work. It was thought then that Indigenous Canadians needed to be freed from government ministrations. Twenty-five years later, they have got another government ministry.
Why does the future look bleak? Recall where we were exactly 25 years ago
Somewhere along the last 25 years the aspiration of self-governing, responsible, democratic, accountable governance for aboriginal peoples was lost. Partly it was the reluctance to touch the constitutional file for any reason. Partly it was opposition from entrenched interests among existing aboriginal power brokers, who do profit mightily from the existing system, however much it fails the people they represent. Partly it was the emergence of the residential schools issue, which put compensation and settlements on the front burner. Regardless, the vision of aboriginal Canadians as agents of their own future is less bold now than a generation ago.
To the bureaucratic mindset, the answer to a stubborn problem is always another bureau. Productivity is lacking? Establish a minister of innovation. Fitness is flagging? A minster for sport. Bridges are crumbling, traffic is clogged? A minister for infrastructure. Weather has got you down? A minister for climate change.
The answer is always more government. By now, it ought to be clear that Indigenous Canadians have had more than enough of that. This year's new beginning promise more of the same. Why should we expect the results to be any different?

Earlier this week Jake and I spent the afternoon riding the trails at Grand Targhee. The trail crew up there has been extremely busy this season. First we took a couple laps on their new beginner trail called Greenhorn. Only being a few weeks old, it obviously still needs work but is well on it's way. At this point most of the path has been cut in by a mini excavator and not much else. From my understanding there is still a section missing which will tie the current end of the trail back into the beginning. As is, it puts you out near the cat shop and horse stables so you either have to pedal back up through the lower lot or turn around and ride it in reverse. This one is pretty short, it only takes around 10 minutes to ride it from end to end, but once it's been buffed out it should be a pretty fun trail for novices or a great warm up ride before heading over to the Rick's Basin trails.
Afterwards we pedaled up the Lightning Ridge trail. This was put in sometime last summer and serves as a single track alternate route to Mill Creek instead of the Peaked snowcat road. This trail is in great shape with only one small patch of snow remaining and the rest ranging from tacky to dry but firm. Once at the top of Lightning Ridge we decided to explore the new Lightning Loop trail being worked on. This trail basically circles Lightning Peak while throwing in quite a few twists and turns along the way. Before I continue I must say that this trail is nowhere near being finished at the moment. Several sections are nothing more than pin flags and faint scratches while other sections have just barely had the excavator run over them. I'm not sure when this is slated to be finished but hopefully that will be really soon. This is going to be a must ride addition to Mill Creek no matter if you're riding up from the bottom or coming over from the resort. Aside from the amazing view of the valley you'll see the 4 peaks and Treasure Mountain at least half a dozen times during this ride. We rode this back to the Lightning Ridge trail and returned to the base of the resort. This was the first time I've ridden Lightning Ridge in the direction as I'm usually just taking it to get to Mill but I have to say it was really fun. After having done so I realized that it's a great little out and back on it's own and will be an awesome ride once the loop is finished.
From the base we took a ride up the lift and finished the day with a lap on the Targhee Super D race course. This will be the first year of the race, being sponsored by Grand Targhee, TVTAP, a slew of other local businesses, and a couple of big names like SRAM and FOX, as the main event for the final day of the 3rd annual Wydaho Mountain Bike Festival (July 27 – 29). The course starts at the top of the Dreamcatcher lift. From there it heads down the Grand Traverse to Buffalo Drop and Sidewinder to the base of the resort. After that you'll pedal up Lightning Ridge to the new Colter's Escape trail and continue down Mill Creek to the finish in Teton Canyon. From Start to finish this ride will be nearly 12.5 miles and descend around 4,000 feet.
A little more info on the Colter's Escape trail. This is awesome. Another new trail built by the Targhee crew in the last month or so, this eliminates the sketchy descent down the gravel road from Lightning Ridge to Mill Creek and probably double to triples the length. Of course it still needs a little bit of work but not that much really. A few of the burms could probably to be carried a little further but otherwise all it needs are some riders. It's actually pretty well packed down considering how new it is. I imagine they're trying to have this one ready to go for the race at the end of the month. It seems that TVTAP has the same plans for Mill Creek which they'll be re-routing later this week (July 7).
Also, I updated the following trail map pages and added photos of each to the gallery:
On Mill Creek I updated the start to the junction of Colter's Escape. I guess I'll be recording that one again soon though. I do still have a few trails to record at Grand Targhee but should have those done this next week.

Beverly Hills News – World Cup Watch Party is at the Paley Center for Media
Watch parties for ESPN's telecast of soccer's World Cup will be held at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills and the St. Anthony Croatian Catholic Church in downtown Los Angeles.
A noon rally was held outside the church at 712 N. Grand Ave. preceding the 1 p.m. telecast of the game from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"The World Cup is a religion around the world that has finally reached the United States," said Ante Kvartuc, the founder and editor of CroatianSports.com, a website covering Croatian sports in English.
"The time has come to treat the World Cup here in Los Angeles like it is treated in many parts of the world as the quintessential global unifier."
More than 300 Croatian fans, dressed in the team's colorful checkered jerseys, were joined by a group of Brazilian fans in watching the opening game on a 22-foot projection television screen in the church's parish center, according to party organizers.
Through partnerships with ESPN and ABC, the Paley Center in Los Angeles will be screening many of the games LIVE and be a meeting place where fans can gather and watch together. We will screen the games at 11:00 am PT everyday, beginning June 11, through the final match on July 11. – See more at: http://www.paleycenter.org/world-cup-live-game-schedule-la/#sthash.xLqmrlje.dpuf
Croatia qualified for its fourth World Cup by defeating Iceland, 2-0, in a two-game, total-goal series in November. It is 18th in the rankings compiled by FIFA, soccer's worldwide governing body, 15 spots behind Brazil.
Croatian players played for Yugoslavia until Croatia declared its independence in 1991. The team, whose nickname translates into the Blazers in English, finished third in its World Cup debut in 1998, but failed to advance past the group stage in the 2002 and 2006 tournaments. It failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
Brazil has won the World Cup a record five times, most recently in 2002. It lost to the Netherlands in the quarterfinals of the 2010 tournament. It qualified as the host nation.
Brazil defeated Croatia, 1-0, in a group play game in 2006 in the only previous World Cup game between the two nations.
This squad maintains the Brazilian tradition of players going by one name, with 15 of the 23 players doing so, including the forwards Hulk and Fred and the goalkeeper Jefferson.
The bulk of the players for both teams regularly play in Europe. Brazil has 18 European-based players, four from teams in their native country while goalkeeper Julio Cesar plays with Toronto FC of Major League Soccer.
All 23 players on the Croatian team play in Europe, but just two in Croatia.

The Social Graph is neither…Posted: December 10, 2011 Filed under: Business, Marketing and Advertising, Technology | Tags: Business, Innovation, Marketing and Advertising, Technology Leave a comment
Put simply, my most shared/forwarded article of 2011 although coming late – Nov.
I'm a big user of pinboard and a fan.
Let's just say it's a must read.
It's not a graph – "When you start talking about building a social graph that transcends any specific implementation, you quickly find yourself in the weeds. Is accepting someone's invitation on LinkedIn the same kind of connection as mutually following them on Twitter? Can we define some generic connections like 'fan of' or 'follower' and re-use them for multiple sites? Does it matter that you can see who your followers are on site X but not on site Y? … This is supposed to be a canonical representation of human relationships. But it only takes five minutes of reading the existing standards to see that they're completely inadequate"
Privacy is another sticking point which I think will be a massive portent of things to come
"There's another fundamental problem in that a graph is a static thing, with no concept of time. Real life relationships are a shared history, but in the social graph they're just a single connection."
Declaring relationships explicitly is a social act: "Your best friend from high school surfaces and sends a friend request. Do you just click accept, or do you send a little message? Or do you ignore him because you don't want to deal with the awkward situation? Declaring connections is about as much fun as trying to whittle people from a guest list, with the added stress that social networking is too new for us to have shared social conventions around it."
Leaving aside the technical issues of how to implement, how does cutting ties actually work socially? Is there any way to be discreet, for example, or have connections naturally degrade over time? In real life, all relationships fade naturally if you don't maintain them, but right now social networks preserve ties in amber until we explicitly break them.
"Social networks exist to sell you crap. The icky feeling you get when your friend starts to talk to you about Amway, or when you spot someone passing out business cards at a birthday party, is the entire driving force behind a site like Facebook."
And my favourite : "The funny thing is, no one's really hiding the secret of how to make awesome online communities. Give people something cool to do and a way to talk to each other, moderate a little bit, and your job is done."
"My hope is that whatever replaces Facebook and Google+ will look equally inevitable, and that our kids will think we were complete rubes for ever having thrown a sheep or clicked a +1 button. It's just a matter of waiting things out, and leaving ourselves enough freedom to find some interesting, organic, and human ways to bring our social lives online."

Happy Thanksgiving!/
Three weeks of prepping and two weeks night and day and 115 photos later, we have completed the photo section for the upcoming The Baking Bible. And just this week we have finished the copy editing. Now we are eagerly awaiting the laid out book pages for proofing. Thanksgiving will be a huge assortment of side dishes and the traditional two turkeys at cousins Marion and Marty Bush--one roasted and the other smoked by their daughter Alexandra and husband Rob Kaufer. (They smoke it in the back yard over hard wood, rain or shine. My vote is for the roasted turkey skin and the moist smoked breast, and tradition dictates that I get one of the tails.) Cousin Alison Butterfass Zagat took over the apple pie baking from her mom Sue several years ago, and brings the delicious multi-variety apple pie, sister Ariel Butterfass brings a special cookie (my favorite was the lemon cranberry bars that inspired a tart in my upcoming book) and this year Woody and I are making the Cranraspberry Upside Down Cake pictured above, also from the upcoming book. Like many Americans, this is my favorite holiday of the year as, though the traffic is horrendous on the way to White Plains, it is such a joy to see the family and enjoy our traditional fare. We wish you the happieset and most delicious of holidays!

Expertly vetted and with a copper-bottomed provenance, Banksy's spraypainted kissing policeman is not authenticated by the artist or his company Pest Control. (No surprise there.) It was sold by the Brighton publican who was able to revamp the Prince Albert with the proceeds of selling the piece of street art on its wall. The work is now owned by Geoffrey and Maureen Diner. They tell artnet News that it is on sale "to the right buyer upon application." The gallerists, who are based in Washington, DC, have also offered to contribute a percentage of the proceeds "to a charity of the artist's choice." So far, it's been radio silence from Pest Control. (Again, no surprise.) Seeing the work has left a few visitors familiar with Brighton on the south coast of England scratching their head. They thought it was still there. In fact, the one in Brighton is a replica Banksy. Protected by Plexiglass, many tourists and locals assume it's the original.

-Artfix Daily, Unseen Lichtenstein to be unveiled at Masterpiece London by Geoffrey Diner Gallery, May 28 2013
'One person who thinks Masterpiece is the place to unveil a special and highly valuable work of art is Washington dealer Geoffrey Diner, who is presenting a knockout 1978 painting by Roy Lichtenstein that has not been seen in public for 30 years, and has never been at auction.
-The Telegraph, A rarely seen Roy Lichtenstein set to be the highlight of London's Masterpiece fair, May 23 2013
'This cross-pollination of objects, periods and styles has been emulated by other fairs, and, importantly, it's an approach that sees returning exhibitors keen to repeat the experience. One such example is Alan Safani's eponymous New York antiquities gallery, which will again work in partnership with the Geoffrey Diner Gallery.'
-Christie's, 'What Masterpiece 2018 Tells Us About Buying Trends', June 21, 2018
'At Geoffrey Diner, barrel chairs in iron and leather that might almost be Wiener Werkstätte are by the Swedish designer Mats Theselius, from 1991. They share an ornate Arts and Crafts carpet by C.F.A. Voysey with an outstanding burl coffee table by George Nakashima.'
-New York Times, Winter Antiques Show Offers a Collection of Recent and Rare Works, January 22, 2016
'One of the strongest works in this booth is in fact underfoot: a rug by English textile designer C.F.A. Voysey, working in the Arts & Crafts style. The piece depicts an elaborate floral pattern and dark-leaved bramble dyed with deep purples, blues, and greens. Following the organic motif, the gallery has also included a leather-topped writing desk designed by Gustav Stickley, of the American chapter of the Arts & Crafts movement. Atop the oak table sits a rippled green glass "turtleback" shade from Tiffany Studios New York. Finally, a wrought iron fire screen and andirons dating from 1930 are made by the renowned American blacksmith Samuel Yellin, with the straight rows of decorative pillars on the screen unfurling like little plants.'
-Blouin, 5 Best Booths at the Winter Antiques Show in New York, January 22nd, 2016
This nontraditional pairing of ancient Egyptian, Roman, and Greek antiquities alongside 20th century and contemporary design ultimately plays up the fair's intention to encourage cross-collecting. For example, the duo's display includes a Greek marble head of Demeter from 400 BC (priced at $550,000), paired next to the 1973 Condoid bench by George Nakashima for $110,000. Also available is and Egyptian bronze statue of Bastet, which dates back to 663-525 BC and can be purchased for $365,000. "It is our hope that visitors to Masterpiece will appreciate that great art transcends time, and that any work of art, whether it is modern or thousands of years old, has the ability to communicate beauty or emotion to those who view it," gallerist Alan Safani said in conversation with artnet News.
-Artnetnews, 'Art Fairs: From Basquiat to Medieval Manuscripts...', June 26, 2017
'I've become obsessed of late with depictions of rooms, and Montana-based artist Karen Kilimnik's My Reading Desk Overlooking the Park (painted on June 25 and 26, 2002) is at the top of my wish list. It is being offered by Geoffrey Diner Gallery for $138,000. The 20-by-16-inch oil-on-canvas work depicts a scarlet-and-gold interior, apparently in a grand English or European house.'
-Architectural Digest, 'The 17 Best Pieces at the Winter Antiques Show', January 23, 2017

-Financial Times, 'Collecting: London Art Week 2017', June 23, 2017
'Another highlight is Alan Davie's "Cat's Claw #8", at the Washington DC- based gallery Geoffrey Diner, which exemplifies the Scottish painter's abstract and Aztec influenced style.'
-Financial Times, Masterpiece Fair 2017 preview
'If 'Masterpiece's role is to help shape and create taste', it does so by inviting world-class dealers and hoping for great and diverse works of art and stimulating juxtapositions. Art fairs are about serendipity and discovery. This year certainly sees more joint stands, or stands showing complementary material. Galerie Mathivet, for instance, displays contemporary Aboriginal art in an art deco interior, while Safani Gallery/Geoffrey Diner and Donati Arte Classica/Repetto present antiquities alongside post-war art.'
-Apollo, The International Art Magazine, 'The best of Masterpiece 2017', June 24, 2017
'Some galleries, such as Safani and Geoffrey Diner are even sharing a booth, displaying ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian artefacts alongside pieces of 20th century iconic design to create a stand that is a visual metaphor to make us think about what we make and collect, and why.'

The Fair's emphasis on cross-collecting is highlighted by a number of exhibitors, who will present carefully curated shared gallery stands. Safani Gallery Inc and Geoffrey Diner Gallery will present a mix of antiquities juxtaposed with iconic 20th century and contemporary design.

Switzerland's Sowareen Solutions AG has just proposed to build a finance and insurance centre at Van Don Special Administrative-Economic Zone (SAEZ) in the northern province of Quang Ninh.
At the meeting with Chairman of the Quang Ninh People's Committee Nguyen Duc Long, this Swiss corporation introduced its track record and professed to its capacity in developing finance and insurance centres in a range of countries, as well as proposed establishing a real estate development venture in Van Don SAEZ.
This corporation also wanted to lure in investors and international financial suppliers into renewable energy in Van Don SAEZ. Sowareen Solutions AG is experienced in sustainable waste management cycles, renewable energy cycles, and environmentally friendly waste-to-energy solutions.
Earlier, in early April 2018, Johnathan Hanh Nguyen, chairman of Imex Pan Pacific Group (IPP) proposed to pour VND10 trillion (US$0.44 billion) into the whole non-tariff area of Van Don SAEZ between 2018 and 2023.
Besides, the joint venture of Vision Transportation Group (VTG), Hai Dang JSC, and Sunny World Property Development Corp. also proposed to develop three large-scale projects with the expected total cost of US$10-15 billion in Van Don SAEZ.
These three super projects are the Mong Cai-Van Don high-speed railway, Hon Net-Con Ong deep sea port and industrial urban zone, and an urban area complex in the north of Cai Bau Island.
Chairman of Quang Ninh province Nguyen Duc Long said that investors should continue studying and working with the province to hammer out the final investment solution for the finance and insurance centre in Van Don SAEZ.
According to the chairman, the province is mobilising various resources for infrastructure construction at Van Don SAEZ and formulating a socioeconomic development master plan in general and a master plan for Van Don SAEZ in particular.
Today (May 23), the National Assembly will discuss the draft Law on SAEZs, including six chapters and 85 articles, which is expected to be put on vote at the end of the legislative session.

Hey guys! What's up? Well, I'll tell you what's up, this is the last post from my Parson's scholarship video series. If you haven't seen the video, click here and knock yourself out. This is the first look in the video and the final look I'll be posting on the blog so I'll make it short and sweet. The setting is my bedroom, the place where 'all the magic happens' (in my MTV cribs voice). I really dreaded doing this particular shoot because every time I attempted to make it happen something would go wrong, but yesterday all the stars seemed to align.
I love florals and fresh flowers and their ability to make the world a much more beautiful place. And for me these roses represent that being kind is one of the most beautiful acts that one can do. I was given these roses by a kind and beautiful woman at a store after she over heard me talking about how much I love fresh flowers. It was truly refreshing to experience an act of love and kindness coming from a complete stranger, so much so that I thought I would share it with you all. Sometimes I fear for this world and worry that people's hearts are growing cold but this woman assured me that the act of loving our neighbors as we love ourselves is still alive.
About the clothes... the light blue denim shirt is by Joe Fresh and the pencil skirt was sewn by me using imported Swiss voile lace and the bling was gifted to me from my mother.
I hoped you enjoyed getting a glimpse of my humble abode. As always, thank you for stopping by.

Skirt: The skirt was sewn by me but I love this green lace skirt from Asos and this mint lace skirt from Dorothy Perkins could work too.

Viva La Espańa: Farewell Sevilla
On the third day, we took a walking tour across the river in Triana, exploring and shopping in the famed ceramic district where they create beautiful hand-made tiles and ceramic dishware. We ended up grabbing a few beautiful ceramic painted tiles after Shaun stood exasperated in line begging me to hurry up for what I'm sure seemed like hours to him, while I shuffled through a dozen different beautiful bowls and plates and dishes and realized I probably couldn't fit anything else in my luggage.
After shopping we strolled over to Restaurante Abades Triana for more food and wine and a lovely view of the river and Toro del Oro.
As if food wasn't already a major theme for our trip already, we went back to the hotel and planned for our Arabian Nights themed dinner at Casa Pilatos. Around 7PM a horse-drawn carriage picked us up in front of our hotel and took us for the most mesmerizing sunset ride through the cobblestone streets as the horses feet went clip-clop and the golden light gently cascaded across everything.
Let me tell you something about Casa Pilatos...it's stupid beautiful.
Casa Pilatos is a palace built in the 1500s and is dripping in the beautiful Mudéjar style with gorgeous tile work and beautiful vivid colors covering every inch of floor, wall and ceilings. With stunning expansive gardens and a phenomenal stone facade it's hard not to fall madly in love with it as soon as you walk in. If it looks familiar, it's probably because it's visited you in your dreams or if you've seen the 1962 classic Lawrence of Arabia because it was totally filmed there.
We had a delicious dinner al fresco in the main center courtyard and the setup was stunningly gorgeous.
To top off the evening of great wine and delicious food we were thrilled by a show of belly dancers that dazzled through the courtyard.
After dinner and entertainment we walked around the courtyard for a bit and then headed back for more gelato and a night of rest before our flight to Barcelona the next day. I will say at this point I thought I wouldn't love any other place in Spain as much as I loved Sevilla. But when we got to Barcelona I realized that it only got better. Stay tuned for our beautiful welcome to Barcelona!

On June 6th, George Blumenthal was inaugurated as the 10th Chancellor of UC Santa Cruz during a ceremony on UCSC's East Field. Students and workers, organized through the Student and Worker Coalition for Justice (SWCJ) and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), held a 10-hour day of action to deliver a loud and clear message — end poverty wages at the University of California. George M. Marcus, a Regent of the University of California, was a passenger in one of the many cars rerouted or delayed by the demonstration.

Historians can learn a lot about a people by examining the stories that they tell about themselves to others. When people wish to communicate something about themselves, they will usually pick some elements from their past to share. These narratives are highly selective, not only in the elements that are chosen but also in the language used to describe them. Present concerns normally shape what people share about their past, leading to the axiom that memory usually has more to do with the present than with the past.
In the years and decades following Wilford Woodruff's Manifesto of 1890, the Latter-day Saints were challenged not only to transition doctrinally away from polygamy, but also to deal publicly with their polygamous past. It was also necessary to address the question of whether or not plural marriage had been considered necessary for salvation at an earlier date, especially in the time of Joseph Smith. As SC Taysom has shown, Latter-day Saints during much of the nineteenth century equated celestial marriage with plural marriage, and considered polygamy to be essential for salvation.[1]
In 1894, just four years after the Manifesto, James E. Talmage was invited to the University of Michigan to lecture on the history of Mormonism.[2] The lecture was later published serially as "The Story of Mormonism" in the Improvement Era and also as a book.[3] In the lecture, Talmage narrated much of the history of the church, waiting until his conclusion to address polygamy. Talmage's statement shows how at least one prominent Latter-day Saint at the time publicly represented Mormonism's polygamous past to others.
But perhaps you censure me for having forgotton or for having intentionally omitted reference to what popular belief regards as the chief feature of "Mormonism," the corner-stone of the structure, the secret of its influence over its members, and of its attractiveness to its proselytes, viz: the peculiarity of the "Mormon" institution of marriage. The Latter-day Saints were long regarded as a polygamous people. That plural marriage has been practiced by a limited proportion of the people, under sanction of Church ordinance, has never since the introduction of the system been denied. that plural marriage is a vital tenet of The Church is not true. What the Latter-day Saints call celestial marriage is characteristic of The Church, and is in very general practice; but of celestial marriage, plurality of wives was an incident, never an essential.[4]
As a touch of irony, 1894 also saw the Temple Lot Case, where other prominent Mormons such as Wilford Woodruff, Lorenzo Snow, and Joseph F. Smith testified publicly that Joseph Smith had been a polygamist, illustrating that while some Mormons were downplaying their polygamous past, others were emphasizing its importance in other contexts.

'Torque' by Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins (artists) & James Khamsi (architecture) is the Lower Simcoe Street connection bridge, which provides direct connection to the Metro Convention Centre and UP Express. Through its sculptural form, the bridge twists across the roadway marking the site with its simple yet graphic cladding. Carefully placed windows offer "curated" views of the City. The interior envelops the user in a total art environment playing off the structural form of the bridge – in effect "wrapping" the viewer in a 3 dimensional, abstract mural.

The elegant lobby of 120 Bremner is graced by 'Superior' created by Douglas Copeland. Coupland's investigations into the Group of Seven and Lawren Harris' iconic paintings of Lake Superior comprise the "ancestor" of this fritted glass mural which is now translated into a thoroughly 21st Century form which enlivens the space and celebrates the "Canadian-ness" of the 120 Bremner lobby.

They Call Me Mellow Yellow
when you know a hero
This is a last minute add in. I don't talk much about my immediate family, I respect their privacy and my blog is about frivolous things and not personal things. But I have to share this story. Today my youngest son called me and told me about something that had just happened.
He was driving on the highway in Kansas City where he lives and an older woman had made a move that angered a younger man. The man began trying to run her off the road and finally got in front of her and stopped her. My son pulled in behind her and watched as the man got out of his truck with a small knife. My son grabbed his big wooden umbrella and got out of his car and told the guy to get away. My son is big and strong and the guy stopped immediately and turned to run away but first stabbed the lady's tire. He got in his truck and did a u turn and took off. My son got in his car and followed him and got his license plate number and a picture of the car. Then he went back to the lady who was with her 12-year-old granddaughter and called the police. They came and he gave them all the information he had attained and made sure the lady and her grand daughter were okay before calling me.
I was so proud of my son and so scared for him. My heart was in my throat as I listened to his story. He was very brave and did the right thing. Too many people would have not stopped to help and he did. He is not stupid, he said he looked at the situation carefully and knew he could take the guy down in a heartbeat. He was furious that someone would try to hurt an older lady and a child. He said he could not stand by and let it happen. I am so proud of my son. He is my hero. He was a hero for someone he didn't even know. She was so grateful and shaken. He said she could barely write his name down. I feel so bad for her but happy that someone was there to help her. No one else will ever know this story but that is what being a hero is, helping others in trouble without thought to yourself. And I know a hero.
the scoop
Yellow has cast it's spell on me this spring. I have never been a fan of yellow. When I was a small child I got lots of ear infections and the medicine I was given was yellow. I still remember the taste and the trauma of being held down while warm ear drops where put in my ears. It was very upsetting to me and I never forgot it and every time I saw yellow the memories came back. And even now I recall those times but I am pretty much over blaming the color yellow. Ha ha!
Linking my top (limited sizing), and several other fabulous tops in yellows.
feeling mellow
wearing yellow
my look
This top is sort of a light mustard color and the minute I saw it, I liked it. The fact that it had the cold shoulder design and was in a sort of linen fabric made it even more appealing. I wore it with my DIY cut off shorts and my fabulous striped Seychelles mules that I got last year. The shorts are button fly Lucky Brand and very comfy. I plan to cut off a few more jeans this summer. I usually go to the thrift shops for jeans to cut off which is where I got these.
Linking several options for shorts and mules for creating your own look!
