Introducing adorable baby Nate! Nate's mom and dad, Stephanie and Cody brought this little man into my studio for a newborn session just last month.
Austin Newborn Photography
I first met Stephanie and Cody when they brought big sister, Delilah to my studio for a newborn session. They are the cutest, most down-to-Earth couple I've ever met. I totally fell in love with their little family and was super excited for them when I heard they were having another baby. I was even more excited to find out they were going to come see me again for more newborn photos! It makes me so happy to have the opportunity to capture families over the years and to see how their little ones grow.
I can't believe Delilah is two already! During newborn sessions when siblings are present, I like to give them even more attention then the new baby. This helps gain their trust and cooperation and also helps lessen any jealousy they may have of the new baby. So, to get things started, I did some photos of big sister D on her own. She was hamming it up in front of the camera!
In order to get some cute pictures of big sister with baby Nate, we hid smarties around him so Delilah would look for them. The result was that it looked like she was touching and loving on her little brother. Smart, huh? I'm all about bribes and sneaky tactics to get the shot.
Newborn Photo Comparisons
Here are some side-by-side photos of baby Nate and baby Delilah. I love seeing how much these two look alike in their sweet, sleepy newborn poses.
Stephanie and Cody, thank you so much for coming to see me again. I love being able to photograph your beautiful little family.

Since I run a business that is dependent on a natural product existing, and I personally enjoy the beauty of said natural product, it's important for me to preserve it as best as I can.
Last month I held a survey over social media to see what way people would prefer I give back, the results were pretty lopsided with people preferring a donation for every purchase to plant one pioneer species tree through the U.S. Forest Service.
but I didn't want to stop there as I think there are many things that can be done to make my shop and the woodworking industry more sustainable, so here is a list of things I'm doing to make my work as sustainable as possible:
- The vast majority of my work is made from recycled/upcycled/reclaimed/salvage/etc. wood, this means no new trees cut down
- I plant one tree for every purchase made, ensuring that more trees are planted than harvested for my work (I doubt the original harvesters planted to offset the wood I reclaim/salvage)
- I added LED lights and insulation the shop to reduce energy costs for operation.
- Sawdust is collected and used for mixing into soil (if you are interested in getting some for your soil let me know)
- I'll be donating to preserve 1 acre of rainforest every quarter, this protecting old-growth timber from destruction in addition to replacing used lumber.
- I avoid excess or wasteful use of vulnerable species of wood.
- Much of my packaging material is shavings from different projects done with handtools. If you'd like some, let me know and I'll be happy to give you some depending on availability.
These are just my starting point and I intend to do more things as I grow and expand, but would love feedback on your ideas for things I can do to be more sustainable!
Thanks for checking in! -Matt

What were they?
The Olympian 'gods', that were more than twelve (including major or minor deities the number increases even more) were some higher creatures who sometimes were helping and teaching human beings and some other times were causing troubles to them.
The big majority of ancient Greeks of any period (from Protohellenic and Mycenaean to Classical and Hellenistic era), especially the educated people, never considered them as Gods but as θεούς ('gods') from the ancient Greek verb θέω meaning 'to run very fast' to describe one of their major supernatural ability (travel from one place to other just in some seconds - teleportation).
We must not forget the main reason why the greatest philosopher ever lived, Socrates, was sentenced and killed in the...democratic Athens from the corrupted people of that time, which wasn't other but the 'θεούς ού νομίζων' teaching of his, the teaching that was saying those 'gods' are just some powerful creatures but they must never be considered or confused with the One and Only God that created everything and all, including them.
Some of those beings helped and taught individuals or a group of people and became patrons of many cities and that's why people of many cultures created temples and statues of them as a thanks, as we are doing nowadays to national heroes or important people without of course considering them as gods…

Join LUC at the spa centre cinema on Wednesday 8th October from 7pm for two darkly entertaining cult gems from 1990 – a time when visionary directors like Richard Stanley and Sam Raimi didn't have to water down their films to make sure of a 12A rating. In addition to these two great movies, there will be a short selection of underground shorts competing for the Aspect Consultants LUC Short Film Prize 2014 and an intermission to stretch your legs. Tickets are just £5 for this movie marathon for the discerning film fan.
HARDWARE (1990) is an amazingly stylish post-apocalyptic sci-fi horror movie. The plot involves the seemingly shutdown head of a army robot which reactivates and rebuilds itself after it is used in an art installation – violent problems ensue. An overlooked masterpiece with a belting soundtrack and cameos from Lemmy and Iggy Pop – this is not to be missed.
DARKMAN (1990) Made between Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, this twisted superhero tale contains bucketloads of Sam Raimi's inventive camera tricks and hallucinogenic visuals. Liam Neeson has never been better than he is in the title role: an unhinged, genius scientist taking cunning revenge on the gangsters who burned him alive and left him for dead.
Check out the amazing trailers below…

It is around 2 in the afternoon, a pretty hot day in Incheon. John Dyck has been waiting at the entry gate of the Asian Games Athletes' Village for more than two hours now. An empty Coke can and a half-eaten packet of Oreo cookies lies underneath his chair, and that has been pretty much his only meal of the day. (Full Asian Games Coverage)
John is a games pin collector from Canada, and after five Olympics and one Commonwealth Games, he is in Incheon, for his very first Asian Games. Business has not been that great so far though. The competition has just about started warming up, and John has managed to trade just eight pins in two hours.
"That's pretty pathetic", he says. Pin trading is almost a sub-culture at multi-disciplinary events. Many call the art of pin collecting the 'Games, outside the Games.' And with his collection of more than 12,000 pins that he has been collecting since 1986, John is a veteran, to say the least. (Medal Tally)
"There was the Vancouver Expo in 1986, that's when I started collecting them", says John, even as games volunteers, athletes, games officials pass by, stopping by to take a look at his collection that's on display on the ground.
"There are a lot of pins you can't get buy, you only have to trade them. I have my Olympic collection, and now a very nascent Asian Games collection so far."
Of course, just trading pins can't buy him air tickets for these prestigious events. John is a warehouse worker in Vancouver. His typical day at an event like this starts at the entry or exit points of the athletes' village, after which he moves from one venue to another, in the hope of trading pins. Things have already picked up here, and he has exchanged four pins with the locals in the course of our conversation.
Like any other collection, John's pin collection needs care too, "They are fragile things, and get scratches easily. You want to have a collection that looks nice, isn't it? I know I will never get all the pins I wanted, but it's still quite an accomplishment. After I stop collecting pins, maybe after 5-10 years, I will just want to see these things on my wall. It'll be nice, don't you think", says John. He is proud of his existing collection, but there's one he badly wants. "I would like to trade pins with Usain Bolt. I hope to go to Rio. I know there will be a lot of security concerns, but things like that ususally don't stop people. "
Well, it looks like it's not just Bolt, but John too, who now has his eyes set on Rio 2016. Albeit for different reasons.

Zayn Malik has been spotted arriving to film his cameo appearance in upcoming movie Ocean's Eight .
The 24 year old kept his head down as he arrived on the set of the film in New York.
Fans lined the streets with their phones poised to snap a picture of the former One Direction star.
Zayn sported a very dapper white tux jacket with a smart dress shirt and black trousers for his first film appearance.
He wore his tousled hair loose and falling in front of his eyes.
Bella Hadid's boyfriend showed off a beard and a handful of his signature silver rings and earrings.
The film is a spin-off of the Ocean's Trilogy and has a star-studded cast.
Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway and Mindy Kaling are all set to star while it remains unclear what role Zayn will play in the film.
But he is just one of a number of high-profile celebrities making a cameo appearance in the movie, with the likes of Hailey Baldwin, Maria Sharapova, Olivia Munn and Tyga also expected to feature.
Earlier today, Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner were spotted filming cameos for the film .
Kim Kardashian 's cameo appearance reportedly involves a jewellery heist - just months after her terrifying armed robbery.
The reality TV star was left traumatised after she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris in October last year - but that hasn't stopped Kim from featuring in the upcoming star-studded movie, which has been shooting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
A source explained to the New York Post newspaper: "We were surprised Kim showed up for filming.
"She had seemed totally traumatised by her Paris robbery. But then she'll still appear in a movie that glamorises a jewellery heist."

Brunch Review: Kitchen 64
We had quite the crew this one weekend, and because I write blog reviews about where I eat brunch, it fell on my shoulders to pick our newest victim-- er, I mean location -- of the review. And this time, there were seven willing critics to pitch in their thoughts and pictures. The menu is robust (and includes mimosa pitchers), which made everyone happy right off the bat.
We'll keep this review heavy on the pictures, as they almost speak wholly for themselves (and some all of my reviewers didn't have much critique to offer, P.S. love you guys). Now, meet all the plates from around the table:
The plate of French toast lasted about two minutes on our table, as they were essentially inhaled. Considering this reviewer provided me with the deep statement of, "they were good," I think this is one of those times actions speak louder than words.
If crab cakes are on the menu, this reviewer almost always orders them, so it was not surprising that she ordered the crab cake bennies. These were no letdown and tasted just as you'd hope they would.
Simply described as "they taste like pancakes." Short, sweet and to the point, ladies and gentlemen.
The prime rib eggs Benedict was described as: "The flavors blended perfectly on my plate. Also, I was confused about the two pieces of asparagus on my plate." (And then the crab cake reviewer: "I forgot to eat my asparagus.")
Truth be told, I had huevos rancheros essentially picked out the night before. As I'm fiercely competing to lose weight in the Biggest Loser, I wanted something that was a bit of a cheat day treat, but not horrendous, so the huevos seemed like a good choice. But once I got there, I was strangely attracted to the prime rib eggs bennie. The waitress told me to go with the huevos, and I am so glad she did. It was fresh with the avocado and salsa, but hearty with the beans and chorizo. I could not have been any happier with my choice. As an added bonus, it was also large enough to take leftovers home, which ended up tasting just as good the next day for lunch.
The overall brunch was really idyllic. It was an over-50 degree day in Richmond in January. When you enter Kitchen 64, it's basically a wall of windows. It's really well light and cheery. We did have to wait a bit for a table, but again, traveling in groups of 7 will do that to you. And the mimosa was almost overly sour, which is interesting coming from me who usually enjoys more sour and less sweet when it comes to beverages. But those are two tiny complaints, and I'd definitely recommend this place. In fact, I'd probably rank Kitchen 64 on the top of my list of places I've been for brunch.

Baby Lilly and Big Brother Jaxson
Bringing a baby home obviously changes family dynamics. Parents become parents and older siblings become older siblings. When I photograph families with newborns, I try to document what it looks and feels like to have a new baby at home. It's such a special transitional time. This big brother was not quite two years old during this session, but he was handling his new role like a champ. He even helped Mama with diaper changing duties! And yes, he showed off some of his yoga skills for me. That's what happens when your mom makes Buddha Pants!
Welcome to the world, Lilly! You chose an amazing family.

Over the past several weeks I've been planning for my vision quest. As the time draws nearer I've been finding myself dealing with more and more synchronicity. I'll try and detail some of it here but, quite honestly, things are moving so fast that I think I'll be trying to do some video updates which can cover more ground at a faster pace.
Here are a few highlights over the past few weeks. I discovered that my good backpack has gone completely missing which has caused me to rethink quite a bit about my load out. Though I lament the fact of losing a +$300 backpack (or possibly having it stolen) I'm thankful because it's forcing me to really only bring the bare minimum which is the point of the quest in the first place! If I can find a decent knapsack then I might go that way but regardless I am looking at a very sparse loadout. My current idea is to go with a tarp lean-to and basic bedroll.
Other moments of synchronicity – I was wondering how I would be able to find a good woolen blanket. A good woolen blanket is a keystone of minimalist camping. The type I need can cost as much as $50 and sometimes go into the $100's and I have nothing extra financially to support this crazy idea. I mentioned to my mother while visiting her on Mother's Day that I'd love it if she would keep her eyes open for a good wool blanket either in her yard sale trips or while visiting a Goodwill store. She looked at me with an odd look and said, "What about the good gray one that your Dad used to have? It's in the garage." Fifteen minutes later I was holding a thick Civil War replica wool blanket that typically goes for +$100. "Is this what you needed?" she asked.
Through pendulum dowsing I was able to finally ascertain where I am to be camping. It is a State forest that I never would have thought of going into. The main reason is that particular forest has a history of being "creepy." Now, that being said, I've known that the area is THICK with some very serious old spiritual activity and I was surprised I'd not thought of it. It was a week later when I started dealing with a lot of inner fears about stepping into that environment as part of a Vision Quest. However, as I worked with my guides, I realized that was EXACTLY what I needed to do.
Speaking of my guides, I'll talk about it further with a video update but I seemed to have lately (in the past few days) passed a very crucial test. I've been attempting communication with them through a pendulum and a letterboard/spirit board just about every morning at sunrise. A new entity entered the field and professed to be assigned to help me with the coming Vision Quest. Needless to say, that turned out not to be true and since that occurred things have been happening around me at a very accelerated pace, almost as if the Powers That Be were waiting to see if I would "get it." Well, I got it and it's been fairly fast paced ever since!
Will try to post a bit more and watch this space for some small video snippets. I'm less than 20 days out and starting to feel an odd mix of frightened and enlightened!

Boarding is becoming increasingly popular at 16+ with many students choosing to study their A-Levels at boarding schools, recognising boarding as the perfect introduction to living and studying away from home. Since no charge is made for the education at Haberdashers' Adams, this becomes a much more affordable and attractive option for families.
In September 2017 we opened a new purpose -designed home for our senior boarders. Just a few metres from our school gates, Beaumaris Hall offers en-suite accommodation as well as a supper room and a large communal area where the boys can relax and enjoy spending time together.
Within the safety net of the boarding community, the students learn to adjust to the freedom and independence of being away from home. A set prep time each night helps to ensure they pay proper attention to their work, establishing good studying habits so that by the time they leave for university they are completely prepared and very self-disciplined.
Boarding is a really great supportive environment. We are able to bounce ideas off each other and there is always someone to talk to and ask for help – often someone who has already experienced the same difficulty as you and is able to offer real help and advice.
~ Sixth Form Boarder
Our Head of Senior Boarding Colette Lonergan is supported by a team of matrons and boarding tutors who offer a range of specialist knowledge to support our boarders with their studies. This often results in significant academic improvements and, as exams loom, the boys really appreciate being with fellow pupils who are all experiencing the same pressure.
The boarders are also able to use the time they may have previously spent travelling to school far more productively. They become more involved in the many extra-curricular activities the school offers, helping to increase their confidence and to grow as individuals. They even start to take an active interest in the planning and decision making side of things, especially when it comes to the planning of boarding events!
There is a shared understanding that you give help as well as receive it, which I feel is really beneficial as helping someone actually reinforces my own learning. The friends I have made will be my friends for life and I wouldn't change it for the world.
~ Sixth Form Boarder

Cottonwood Camping and RV Park
Adventure camping for the outdoor enthusiast! ATV trail access, horse camping or guided rides, tree houses, RV sites, tenting and more!
Cottonwood Camping and RV Park
Adventure camping for the outdoor enthusiast! ATV trail access, horse camping or guided rides, tree houses, RV sites, tenting and more!
Cottonwood Camping and RV Park is centrally located in the heart of Downeast Maine in the rural coastal town of Columbia Falls. Our goal is to provide adventure camping with something for everyone.
Our campground is surrounded by 170 acres and situated right in the middle of the old railroad bed now called the Sunrise Trail bed. At Cottonwood you'll have access to this multi-use trail system right from your front door. This trail system stretches for more than eighty miles from beyond the town of Machias to the town of Ellsworth. From this trail system there are secondary trails that cover hundreds of miles throughout the entire Downeast area. You can be assured you'll have plenty of room to play!
While the trail bed is enjoyed by hikers, bicyclists, dog walkers, ATVers, dirt bike enthusiasts and horseback riders; it remains remote and quiet. With the generosity of many land owners you and I are able to enjoy access to some of the most remote parts of Maine.
The Sunrise Trail Bed
Columbia Falls is located in the center of this Trail Bed. You'll have access to more than 40 miles east to the coast or 40 miles west to Downtown Ellsworth as well as secondary trails to your north and south that will take you hundreds of miles throughout the Downeast area.
Hi I'm Shirley,
I've been working on my project for the past seven years, however, It began when I was a little girl on my grandparent's farm in a small rural town in Maine. I was born in Boston Massachusetts, in a tough neighborhood. My five siblings and I were fortunate enough to spend our summers on the farm and eventually moved there. I enjoyed over a hundred acres of land with trails throughout the woods, a small pond to catch frogs and a barn full of hay to jump in. I especially enjoyed helping my grandmother with the many different animals she lovingly cared for. It was those days and those trails where my dream really began.
I'm an entrepreneur at heart. Even back then, I sold eggs to make money and had my mom running me around delivering them to my neighbors (who probably already had their own chickens and fresh eggs). My dad and I sold vegetables roadside for a couple of years. Horses, however, were my true passion. That's when I started thinking about doing guided trail rides. Even though I had farm animals around me all the time, we didn't have the kind of money needed to take riding lessons, let alone own horses.
I grew up, I moved away, and started a family of my own... but I never forgot about that dream. In fact, that dream grew into something even bigger. Having had all those wonderful memories of life on the farm, I would often think about how city kids never have the opportunity to experience nature the way I had; like catching frogs in a small pond or seeing a night sky full of stars. Wanting to share my passion for playing in the woods and on the farm I decided I needed to make a place for everyone to enjoy. That is how Cottonwood began.
While I have already started my trail riding business, having spent the past twenty years working with horses and building the farm, I am now in pursuit of the rest of that dream. I began looking for the perfect piece of land. After having a few disappointments I found it...it was right in my own back yard. Located almost adjacent to the farm, through the woods, just a mile as the crow flies, this 170 acres is now Cottonwood.
I know that with the help and support of my family I have accomplished so much and that this campground will someday be many generations old. Yet, I still have so many things I need to do. I'm racing against time now...I'm not getting any younger. I need your help!
With your support we, together, can accomplish so much more! Together, we can build a place where future generations of kids and their families, both local and far away, might too be able to enjoy the kinds of experiences I have been so fortunate to have had.
I am asked all the time about adding ATV rentals, bicycle rentals, cabins, a swimming pool and a fishing pond. I would also love to offer a pavilion, playground and so much more! These are big-ticket items with lots of other costs associated with owning and maintaining them. These are just some of the goals and activities I hope to offer, not only to our campers, but many of these activities will be available for the people in the surrounding community.
At Cottonwood, along with our direct access to the trial bed from your front door, you will find big rig, full service pull through RV sites, back-in sites, tenting, group camping, and rental units as well as a beautiful bathhouse with laundry room.
We have two Teepees that can accommodate four to eight people and our largest one measuring 22 feet will be ready to rent soon. It will have a center fire pit and will be furnished with couches, tables and other items for your comfort.
We have recently added Little Bird Tiny cabin that accommodates two and is absolutely adorable!
Spinney Brook overlook Tree House!
When you travel Downeast, you are visiting the Blueberry Capital of the World. Be sure to make time to tour the blueberry barrens where you'll see thousands of acres of wild blueberry land. It doesn't matter what time of year you come it is awe-inspiring. Whether you bring your own all-terrain vehicle or have signed up to take a guided ATV tour; it is a must see!
Spring- Blueberries in blossom
Summer- Fruit bearing
Fall- Blueberry foliage
On the baseline to the barrens check out Frog Rock!
As well as growing and harvesting Wild Maine Blueberries Downeast, it is also your go to place for Maine Lobster and the coveted Maine Balsam Wreath.
When staying with us you'll be in the center of all of the great places that Downeast has to offer. Be sure to check out some of these local attractions!
Look at what Cottonwood Camping and RV Park has already accomplished in our short four years developing from a grass roots effort. While our goal is to reach 30k, what if we raised $100,000? Imagine what we could do with that. With your help we can reach or exceed that goal.
We've selected a great set of rewards for you to choose from. Not much of a camper yourself? Our reward packages would make a great gift for any occasion for the camper in your life. We highly recommend a camping trip at cottonwood!
Don't take our word for it...see what our Cottonwood friends have to say!
"Hands down one of the BEST campgrounds we've ever been to. They have AMAZING bathrooms. And Shirley goes above & beyond like having tents already set up for us & firewood ready to go!" Melissa, Bangor
"Cottonwood Campground was the highlight of my 2018 summer. My girlfriend and I traveled from PEI to Cottonwood for 3 nights in early September. We had a beautiful, private campsite next to a clean, rustic but modern bathhouse.
We brought our side by side and enjoyed 3 great days of trail riding. The views while riding through the nearby blueberry barrens were breathtaking, and the variety of trails in the area meant we could do easy riding or more technical stuff when we wanted.
Shirley and Mark at Cottonwood are great people. They gave us lots of ideas to help us plan our day trips and were very friendly! I am looking forward to traveling back in the spring of 2019 for more great trail riding, and to help Cottonwood develop their campground even further. If you're looking for a quiet, rustic, REAL camping experience in Maine then check out Cottonwood!"
Jeremy Noonan, Canada
We all have a favorite hobby, sport or outdoor activity. While mine is horseback riding, others love ATVing, hiking, bicycling, traveling to different places, or simply enjoying sitting around the bonfire.
Whatever your passion, whatever your ride, at Cottonwood, you'll have the opportunity to play! Whether it's all-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes, bicycles, or even horses, it is our goal to provide you with the ultimate north-woods playground!
Warmest regards,
Check out our website @cottonwoodcampingrvpark or follow us on Facebook and Instagram
Risks and challenges
Finding and paying for qualified help is the big challenge.
Purchasing, maintaining and servicing new ATVs will also be a big challenge.
Building housing for the horses at the campground is an expense I have not been able to afford, however, it remains a major part of my goal. I'd like to offer shelter for not only our own horses while at the campground but also for guests that visit the campground with their horses.
Funding period
- (35 days)

Wrestling isn't for the faint of heart. It is a tough sport. Everyone who sets foot on the mat acknowledges that there are life lessons learned, no matter the duration of their participation, in the sport. Those who fall in love with this sport have characteristics that make them different from others. They are separate from the others in society whom are not capable of the discipline, dedication, and determination it takes to compete in wrestling. Black Sheep are defined by a separation from the group. By placing value in characteristics that create success in wrestling we promote a cultural change that may go against the norm in today's society. We place little value in status, income, and vanity. We believe the characteristics that we are trying to instill do not just better the individual, but also benefit our whole community. The value we place in these characteristics make us Black Sheep.
Are you tough enough to be a Black Sheep?
Discipline - Dedication - Determination

One of our five core values is Family and at Soho Parish we pride ourselves on being an open community.
We recognise that parents understand their children best, therefore wherever possible we prefer to work with you to help your children make the best possible progress.
This begins before Reception class, where our Early Years team will do a home visit to get to know your child and their family and seek to understand how best to support your child once they start school.
Parents are encouraged to keep in touch with what is going on at school. As well as a regular electronic newsletter, we use the ParentMail app to send information directly to parents' mobiles and tablets.
We try to keep our school as open as possible to parents, whilst maintaining appropriate levels of safeguarding. Every Friday, we encourage parents to bring their children into their classroom at the start of the day, so that they can see what their child has been doing. The class teacher is also on hand to field any questions you may have.
Many of our parents are keen to share some of their talents with the school, and so we regularly invite parents in, either to give demonstration lessons or to volunteer in class in a variety of capacities.
Finally, we have a very active Parent Staff Association (PSA), who run a weekly coffee morning for parents as well as organise fundraising and social activities throughout the year.

Beautiful images.

To read this, this morning is also very coincidental. I was writing up something last night that includes a rumination on the suit. I recently had to buy myself one for a job interview. I often wear clothes that don't fit me exactly, as I have an unusually small frame. It was incredibly difficult to find a suit that would fit, but I prevailed in the end (I ended up with age 12 school uniform trousers!!!).It was very exciting to see myself in such a different body.

As I thought more on it, I realised that this was the first time I'd really felt like a woman: the suit finally gave me a vision of adult-ness (and sexual availability) that my tiny frame has never been able fulfill. I kinda liked this but this realisation was also quite an uncomfortable one. I feel as if I am endlessly sub/consciously grappling to perform womanhood, to exude a kind of independent strong sex appeal. And things get more complicated when their combined with my bi/pan identity! At least all these subtle negotiations of gender are interesting to me.

Sofie

this post and those images I saw you retweet by Marianne Breslauer of queer women in the 1930's are definitely going to linger in my mind as I finish up this piece of writing for a zine! :)

To Thomas Jefferson from Abraham Baldwin, 6 March 1801
From Abraham Baldwin
Washington March 6th. 1801
Since our conversation on the administration of the department of the Postmaster General, I have made it my business to trace to their causes, as far as was in my power, the complaints which, I find, are so industriously circulated against that officer.
1. I have no doubt there is an intrinsic difficulty in the discharge of the duties of that department, so as to give any good degree of satisfaction. A few years ago there were but 60 or 70 post offices in the U.S. They are now not less than a thousand offices: the contracts and correspondence necessary to keep such a vast circulation clear, is become extremely laborious. Every session there is added from three to five thousand miles of new post road, and waggon-loads of news papers besides very bulky mails of dispatches from the general stamp office and the other public offices are required to be carried through roads scarcely passable, and in many parts of the country where there are neither ferries, bridges nor causeways. These causes have already rendered very difficult, and seem likely soon to render impracticable a speedy conveyance of letters and public dispatches through the principal places of business in the United States. The complaint and ill affection which is always consequent on any want of perfect punctuality in the conveyance of the mails, and the accumulation of these for so many years, must render the situation of the most faithful and laborious officer very disagreeable, if he fails in meeting the approbation of those who are best able to know his merits it must be very discouraging. Though the consequences fall on the officer, yet the remedy is only in the legislature.
2. Many persons are trying to injure him from personal disgust. For several years I have known unceasing efforts used by individuals to prevail on him to dismiss Mr Patton of Philadelphia, the postmaster at Newport, at Albany and in several of the eastern towns, on account of their political principles: they were so necessary to his department, that he could not dispense with their services or supply their places: several members, whom I could name if it were necessary, have persecuted him ever since, both in public and in private, with the most unrelenting bitterness.
He has been obliged to interpose, on several occasions, to prevent the abuse of the power of franking, which has proved a most pernicious evil in other countries, and to check it here was made his indispensible duty: there are some singular facts under this head, which if it were necessary I would state, and which would explain some of the present appearances.
3. This office is a very good item in the distribution which so many, at present, are engaged in planning. If they will allow me too to put in a word on the occasion, this will probably be the only word I shall wish to put in. If I do not deceive myself, personal considerations have not much share in it; you must have observed, for several years, there has been no remarkable intimacy between us. Were I now to feel myself at entire liberty to search for a man, in our two southern states, to fill that office, I think there is no one, whom it would be my duty to name sooner than him. Other names have lately been mentioned, I know them well, and believe that, on trial, they will not be found to be more laborious, more faithful, or more upright and disinterested. These are the principal qualities to be regarded, for the duties of the office do not require distinguishing genius or talents. I have known few men in my life, in whose character I found more perfect security against any dishonorable or dishonest action.
At a very early period in his life it was his good fortune to find a road opened which placed him on very high ground, in relation to our Union and Independence. He is one of three sons of the President of the King's council in Georgia, who were born in Savannah. After a direction seemed to have been given to the public sentiment there not to join with the other states at the commencement of our revolution, he and a company of volunteers which he commanded, by their energy and zeal were principally instrumental in bringing that state to take a part in the revolution, and send members to congress. If I mistake not he commanded the first regiment raised in that state for the continental service: from that time till now, his character, in the first stations in our councils and in the field, has, with respect to the principles of our revolution, been without a blemish. These things are generally known in both those states, his connexions in both are among the most respectable. I believe there is no man who would be more likely to be acceptable to them in that office, or in whose disgrace they would feel a more lively sentiment.
I have also found that a suggestion is circulated, that he is possessed of a constitutional obstinacy of character which will render it difficult to reconcile the administration of the duties of that department to such general systems as may be thought necessary. I have made it my business to enquire into this, and find the causes from which it has originated: Attempts have been made to treat that department as if it was a mere subordinate branch of the treasury department, which he has uniformly resisted, on the ground that collection of revenue is not the leading trait in the character of his department, and that the expressions of the law constituting the Post office department do not favour such an opinion. Whenever the President of the United States thinks proper to visit and inspect the manner in which his office is conducted, and gives him any verbal direction, or sends him any notice of his will in writing, it is invariably a law to him. I do not hesitate to pledge myself and him to you on that head that you could not wish a more ready compliance than you will always find.
As I am under the necessity of being on my return home immediately after the adjournment of the Senate, I have thus loosely sketched these remarks, which were more particularly stated in our conversation, from an apprehension that they might otherwise have been overlooked, in the multiplicity of more important concerns now pressing for your attention.
If however it should be thought best that some other person should hold that office, I hope it will not be found inconvenient to delay the measure till towards autumn, that it may not be too intimately associated with the change of the Administration, so as to unite with other causes to lay a foundation which may fix a party in that state, and that the manner of the transition may, as far as possible, be rendered easy to his feelings.
I am very respectfully Sir, your obt Servt

A statute of April 1800 had created a general stamp office to distribute stamps to revenue officers for the collection of duties under the 1797 Stamp Act. Congress abolished the stamp tax and the office in April 1802 (U.S. Statutes at Large description begins Richard Peters, ed., The Public Statutes at Large of the United States… 1789 to March 3, 1845, Boston, 1855–56, 8 vols. description ends , 2:40–2, 148–50; see also John Garland Jefferson to TJ, 17 Jan. 1801).
Robert Patton had been postmaster at Philadelphia since 1789, Jacob Richardson at Newport since 1784, and George Mancius at Albany since 1792. Republicans accused them of intercepting or interfering with the mail for political motives (Stets, Postmasters description begins Robert J.

Tim first came to prominence as a member of Gong where his synthesiser experimentation and mastery was demonstrated on albums such as Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg and You. He would also join Hawkwind from 1979 - 1980 and from November 2007. This anthology celebrates Tim's work both as a member of Gong and Hawkwind and as a solo artist and includes tracks from all stages of his career. Most interestingly, Lighthouse also features eight previously unreleased recordings, including three from The Birth of Crystal Machine in the 1970s, along with three recordings from the so-called Forgotten Tapes and two tracks recorded live in Amsterdam and Exeter in 2006 and 2009 respectively. As a final highlight, the anthology includes a bonus DVD featuring a previously unreleased recording of Tim Blake's appearance on French television in April 1979 performing 'Generator (Laser Beam)', 'Passage Pour La Cit├® Des R├®v├®lations', 'Lighthouse' and 'New Jerusalem'.
Auch hier sind Bild & Ton top, leider auch nur 27 min., aber nicht ausgeblendet!Produktbeschreibungen
Esoteric Recordings is proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered and expanded CD & DVD edition of the classic self-titled debut album by GREENSLADE. Formed in 1972 by former Colosseum keyboard player Dave Greenslade, the band also featured former Web and Samurai member Dave Lawson (keyboards, vocals), former Colosseum bass player Tony Reeves and drummer Andrew McCulloch (formerly with King Crimson and Fields). The calibre of the members of Greenslade ensured that the group would be innovative, ground breaking and dynamic in their musical approach and would also be notable due to the absence of a guitarist within their ranks. Originally issued in November 1973, "Bedside Manners Are Extra" was a fine debut album and featured such classic compositions as the album title track, "Pilgrims Progress", "Time to Dream" and "Sunkissed You're Not".Considered by many to be a band at their finest on stage, this expanded edition of Bedside Manners Are Extra includes three previously unreleased bonus tracks on the CD of the band's BBC Radio One session recorded in October 1973. The set also includes a bonus DVD featuring a recently discovered and previously unreleased Warner Bros. Promotional film featuring the songs Drowning Man, Temple Song and Melange and Greenslade's appearance on the BBC TV "Old Grey Whistle Test" from November 1973 featuring live performances of Pilgrims Progress and Bedside Manners Are Extra. This Esoteric Recordings expanded edition has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes and features an illustrated booklet with many rare cuttings and includes an essay by Malcolm Dome and exclusive interviews with Dave Greenslade and Dave Lawson.

Right Now, in the simple./
I'm having a hard day. The kind where you cry one minute and feel angry the next. And just when you are settling into angry, you find yourself calm and quiet. All those emotions tangled, that for me is a hard day. Always connected to feeling a bit run down in the old gut - the immune system- the guardian of how I'm feeling. I still have trouble stopping and allowing myself to rest. My process is to go low, sink down and create. Create things that don't need to be there. Head drama. Fierce and fearful.
It makes me want to drink soy lattes all day. It makes me want to stop doing everything that is moving me forward. It says, there isn't really enough for everyone. Why do you think you can have it?
Yeah, I have bad days. Thankfully, so do you. Our bad days are a gift if we let them be. Right now, in the simple.
Here is the whisper if I allow myself to get really quiet.
Climb in your bed. Work from there. Read books to your boy. Drink some tea. Take a motrin, just do it. Talk to the man who loves you and let him be with you. Remember why you do what you do, pick one small thing and you will remember. Oh yes there is enough for everyone. There is enough room to rest. There is enough time to conquer fears. There is enough right now, in the simple.
I remembered my favorite "cereal" and thought it would help my tired stomach feel better. I think you'll like it.
Almond and Apple Cereal
1 small apple, diced handful of sliced almonds 1 tsp dried coconut flakes alternative milk, rice, almond, hemp raisins if you like them
Put it all in a bowl, just as you would cereal. Simple.

Accommodation & Tour Experience At One&Only Gorilla's Nest Lodge
Navigation Tip - Go Directly To Prices, Reviews, Map, Photos, Video & Room Rate Guide For One&Only Gorilla's Nest LodgeA forest of fragrant eucalyptus trees at the base of the lofty Virunga Mountains shelters a boutique cottage, the One&Only Gorilla's Nest Lodge. Located at Musanze, this luxury vacation stayover offers you superb views of the famed Volcanoes National Park. As you arrive at the main reception area, you will be charmed by the giant hydrangea flowers and sightings of some of the 178 bird species of the wilderness, lighting up the locale with their colors and songs. You might even spot the resident African wildcat sunning himself on the patio. The lodge has two sections, the main lodge and the Jack Hanna Cottage, a private home that is let out to touring families and friends staying at the One&Only Gorilla's Nest Lodge. You will love the elegant homeliness of the common areas of the lodge that include all the comforts of a yesteryear country-style cottage meshed stylishly with the distinct spirit of Rwanda. A fireplace keeps guests warm while the television lets them stay up to date with world events. You will be staying in one of the 4 spacious rooms available, two of which are branded as the Hanna Cottage. The other 2 rooms are the adjacent Ranch Rooms. One of the rooms includes a double bed while the other comes with twin beds. The Hanna Cottage is spacious enough to accommodate a roll-away third bed each. The ensuite bathrooms include shower area, bathtub, and vanity. The cottage has its own dining area and kitchen with a separate staff to care for you. You can also use the in-room electronic safe provided for storing your valuables. Spend time on the patio outside reveling in the views of the magnificent mountains of Virunga (view map), or play a few rounds of leisure holiday golf in the nine-hole green bordering the lodge complex. Your evenings will be made pleasant with a safari campfire around which you can sip sundowner drinks.Dine on delectable meals including authentic Rwandan fare, cooked with care for you. Your chef will take orders for whatever dishes you would like to try, and you can look forward to three-course meals served. Your mornings will begin with hearty offerings at breakfast to keep you going during your hike. Before you set out to meet the magnificent mountain gorillas of Rwanda, your expert safari guide will give you a short talk on the protocol to follow when meeting these gentle giants. As you trek over the trails, he will alert you to the presence of the gorilla family you are assigned. The sight of the alpha silverback that can tower up to six feet in height and the gentleness he displays is truly mesmerizing. Tear yourself away from him, and you could go looking for the other rare and equally amazing primate of the Volcanoes National Park, the golden monkeys, found mainly in the bamboo forests. Choose from one of the other touring trails in the reserve, and you can make a trip to the grave of the famous conservationist, Dian Fossey. Without her dedicated support, the mountain gorillas might have become extinct. You must also explore the underground caves of Musanze or trek up the edges of Mountains Bisoke and Karisimbi for the breathtaking views at the top. Immerse yourself in the beauty of the rich and varied biomes of the Volcanoes reserve as you hike. Also, take the time to visit the indigenous tribal people of the Iby'Iwacu Village.RELATED PAGES: (1) Volcanoes Safari Park Guide, (2) Best Time & Weather To Visit Volcanoes, (3) Safari Lodges, Camps & Hotels In Volcanoes
What We Like About One&Only Gorilla's Nest Lodge
- Located at Kinigi, close to the headquarters of the Volcanoes National Park. Thus, it is easy for guests to travel to the starting point of the gorilla safari treks
- Offers fine views of the lush vegetation and the Virunga Mountains (on a clear day). Has a nine-hole golfing green that sporting holidaymakers can use
- With just 4 rooms that can sleep 8-10 guests, the lodge offers guests the quiet, boutique experience with personal attention
- Meals are very appetizing and specially cooked by the personal chef according to guest preferences
- The staff are very helpful and friendly, offer services such as laundry, cleaning muddy footwear, preparing meals, and making fires in the rooms to help you stay warm
Things To Note When Staying At One&Only Gorilla's Nest Lodge
- Costs are on the higher side for a premier accommodation due to lack of competition
- While ideal for vacationing families, Hanna Cottage does not offer any additional activities for. children that guests might appreciate given that gorilla viewing is restricted to people of ages 15 and above only
- Solar power is lacking for a small accommodation. The lodge should consider being more ecologically sustainable
- The golf course makes it a less authentic gorilla lodge to stay in
- Limited availability during peak season as there are limited rooms. We recommend booking Gorilla's Nest 12-18 months in advance

I get asked that question a lot: Why do I do what I do and how does it make me feel? I know that the financing that we provide, often called smarter financing, is very impactful for these business owners when they buy a piece of property for what they're currently leasing. It could be half a million to a couple million dollars–whatever the case is, it makes a material impact on that business owner's net worth and, in some cases, I'm sure it's going to last generations. I think it's terrific. I used to be a management consultant. I could certainly roll up my sleeves and get in there and give them a lot of other business advice, but that's not what I'm overly passionate about. What I'm overly passionate about is this–teaching them how they can create wealth through commercial property ownership done the best way possible.
There's a lot of people out there that purport to be trusted advisors to small and mid-sized companies, but oftentimes they're sort of just pitching their own product or service. I like to think that when people know about what we do, it's a real easy choice for the business owner to make. It's a no-brainer. There are not that many no-brainers out there in the world. There are not that many products that sort of sell themselves. When people know about it, and I happen to be a provider, that's pretty synonymous with this product, so it's a tremendous thing for business owners. I've had few people over the years ask me what the catch is or say, "It's too good to be true," or that it can't be. Well, no. I've financed billions of dollars under this program. I've helped hundreds and hundreds of business owners. I've created tens of thousands of jobs through this program. No, it's quite real and I just hope, through our educational efforts, we can bring the message to more business owners in America because I think there are a lot more who can benefit from this.

Identified ID Bracelet
The old school name plate is back. Any word, initial, or name will be engraved to add that delicate and personal touch. I fabricated the original model in metal and then made a mold of the piece. The beauty of an oxidized piece of sterling silver jewelry is that the patina will naturally wear over time and you will add a subtle polish to the piece.

Hello Darling
Heyyyyy! TGIF! It has been LONG week for everyone, so a little light pink sweater action will hopefully brighten your day :)
I hardly ever wear light pink, but I was drawn to this adorbs piece. Eloquii, one of my favorite brands in the universe, always has something to catch my eye, and pushes me out of my comfort zone. The sweater is great to dress up or down, with jeans or as pictured, a skirt.
The detail in this Lane Bryant pencil skirt is EVERYTHING. From the fun zig-zag print, to the exposed zipper-its fun and sexy! This skirt is form fitting (as pencil skirts are), so I suggest a strong undergarment to keep your curves popping! I will be doing a post soon on my favorite shapewear! (Styling Tip: look for items you can transition in your wardrobe: for example, I could easily wear this skirt with a blouse to work, or fun girls night as pictured.) Don't be afraid to play with how you wear your clothes too...I folded this shirt in to make it more of a crop, but could have worn it with a button down top underneath. There's always more than what's shown in the photo...get creative and make your clothing express your personality! BE BOLD.
Last but not least, I felt this look had a retro, throwback feel, so I paired it with my cool shades from Eye Feel Shady, one of the coolest sunglass companies out there. Make sure to check them out to get new shades for under $15! Psst....these only cost me $6 bucks!
How else would you style this look? Any suggestions on taking it to the next level? Share your voice below!
Enjoy today!

California Naturalist Program
The application process for our 2019 California Naturalist Certificate training is now closed. Please check back in January 2020 to apply for the next training program.
The California Naturalist class introduces you to the wonders of nature and engages you in the stewardship of California's natural communities. The course utilizes a combination of science curriculum, guest lectures, field trips, and project-based learning to immerse you in the natural world of the San Francisco Peninsula. Participants become part of a community of graduates from previous years.
The University of California Naturalist Program promotes environmental literacy and stewardship through discovery and action. This 40-hour course combines classroom and field experience in science, problem-solving, communication training and community service to explore the unique ecology and natural history of the Bay Area. California Naturalist Certification provides the following benefits:
New skills, opportunities, and incentives for personal, volunteer, and professional development
Future discounts and invitations to CalNat biennial statewide conferences and other continuing education opportunities
Connections to science institutions across the state
Fellowship and collaboration with other certified California Naturalists throughout the state
The excitement of being part of the venerable tradition of naturalists throughout history and part of a new innovative community of natural resource stewards
In addition to coursework and field trips, California Naturalists are required to complete an 8-hour "capstone project" in one of four areas: program support, interpretation/education, restoration/conservation, and/or community science, and are also encouraged to complete 40 hours of volunteer service each year.
Upon completing certification requirements, participants are eligible for four academic credits through UC Davis Extension for an additional nominal fee.

We've raised £0 to Support Henry and Freddie Spink who are both severely disabled.
- Helston, UK
- Closed on Thursday, 6th September 2018
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered nonprofit.
The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.
By Henrietta Spink
We have two beautiful boys, Henry aged 27 and Freddie aged 23. Henry is to this date a medical mystery. He does not function at all and remains in a semi sleep state. He cannot do anything for himself and is at the level of a three month old child. He has 20 to 30 epileptic fits a day, is incontinent and cannot speak, stand or sit unaided or walk. Yet no damage to his brain whatsoever has been found despite the most detailed testing. Henry weighs 11 stone (155 lbs/70 Kg) and is nearly 6ft (1.80m) tall. Henry's fits have recently escalated to sometimes 50 in one night. He has been prescribed emergency medication recently for the first time and has had an emergency MRI to determine whether he has a possible benign brain tumour indicative of the type of fit he is having. We are still waiting for results.
Freddie was born with a diaphragmatic hernia [all his guts in his chest] which was missed despite having had 20 scans. Freddie spent the first 6 weeks of life on life support and during this time suffered a major stroke that was also missed. Freddie is semi mobile, autistic, has slurred speech, severe learning difficulties and a restricted oesophagus. Because of this restriction, his throat can block at any moment with any mouthful of food, which needs surgical intervention. He is at the mental level of a 3 year old, is 5ft 9'' (1.75m) tall and weighs 17 stone (240lbs/110Kg). This weight is due to a side effect of his medication.
Neither boy has had a diagnosis despite extensive tests. Both require significant full time support: Henry is assessed by the local authority and the NHS as needing two carers with him at all times, and Freddie as needing one carer at all times, and two when he is out of the house.
When the boys were at the age of 14 and 17, an American scientist became interested in their case and recommended we have MRI/DTI scans. We could not get them done in the UK so were sponsored to have them done at Boston Massachusetts General Hospital. The scientists were convinced Henry had either missing, blocked or damaged neural pathways. Henry's scan revealed that even the neural pathways were all intact and normal. However, the scans revealed Freddie's stroke and strokes are like the rings on a tree – you can date them. His was dated to just after birth. As a result of it being missed he had no treatment or therapy.
I never gave up looking.
For 12 years we funded our own care for the boys. I was always the second carer with rarely a day off. By the time the boys became teenagers we could no longer find nannies who wanted this kind of work. We needed professional carers but our local authority refused to support the boys beyond the bare minimum, saying that "we have no legal or moral duty to support you, when you are on benefits we'll help you". Slowly, slowly we were ground down. By the time Henry was 17 and Freddie 13 we had lost our house in London. Michael had been forced out of work. We had lost our house, careers and well-being but at no time did we consider abandoning our sons.
We had no idea what to do or where to go. We felt no local authority would support us and could see no future remaining in the UK. We bought a boat with the last money from our house, and set sail.
After 6 months at sea we became involved in a USA medical trial at the University of California. We decided we wanted to continue the treatment and therefore returned to the UK. We retreated to our small cottage in Cornwall. This was a God-given haven: many years earlier I had won just enough money with a Pools win to buy the cottage, our refuge through all the horrendous battles we'd had with our local authority, without which we would not have survived. The cottage was never meant to be lived in full time but now we found ourselves living there full time. The boys didn't even attend school. We were submerged in the darkest fog I'd ever experienced.
Slowly we came out of that fog – I'm not really sure how but somehow we did. Our wonderful friends started the Spink raffle and out of that money we rented a small two bedroom flat in London, into which we fitted the four of us, plus carers, which was often a tight squeeze. This meant the boys could come to London every two weeks for medical treatments at Queen Square Neurological Hospital and Michael could begin to work where ever possible. I wanted to campaign to improve disability legislation and we successfully fought to get portability of care packages into the new Care Act. Up until now disabled and their carers could not move to another local authority without losing their entire care package.
After two years there wasn't enough money to continue renting the flat so we brought our boat to London and started using that as our London accommodation – it was by far the cheapest way to stay in London. We started coming to London every other week to work, which was essential for us to makes ends meet and survive. The 600 mile round trip is very tough and both boys can be up for much of the night.
Henry and Freddie are about to finish college this July, which is another massive milestone for us. During term time, they have been at college from 8am to 4:30pm Monday-Friday. Now they will no longer be out of the house during term time, which means that they and their carers will be in the house during the day. There will then be up to eight adults in the cottage. The house is small, without any separate area for the boys, and this will mean that the noise level will rise sharply. We have almost no privacy, as the carers are with us from 7am to 8:30pm every day. It is impossible for Michael and I to look after the boys without this level of support. Michael tries to work from home, but it will now become very difficult. Henry has to be wheeled around the house in a wheelchair all the time, and Freddie is autistic, making a lot of noise and demanding attention from everyone. The boys require specialist food preparation, particularly for Freddie as a result of his diaphragmatic hernia which has caused his throat to narrow.
We are still searching for a medical answer: the boys are on 3 genome programs to try and diagnose them. I have no doubt that we will find the answer.

I have so many books that I could recommend for the month of July , but I thought I should narrow them down to only four. These books that I have chosen are full of knowledge. They will help motivate and encourage you.
- The first book I recommend is Destiny by T.D. Jakes . This book has truly encouraged me at this time of my life. We all have a destiny in life , but it is our job to seek after it. T.D. Jakes gives some powerful words to help guide you in the direction toward your destiny. Often we settle for less in life. By the time we realize our purpose we have lost so much time. T.D. Jakes speaks about time being a resource that you can not get back. This book reveals the importance of working towards your destiny and not wasting no time getting there.
- The second book is The One Full Year Challenge by Brad Hardin. Brad Hardin is very passionate about helping people better themselves. This book is an eye opener on how to reach goals and overcome challenges we face. The book helps you reach your goals both big and small by a year. Weather you have goals in your Spiritually , physically , or emotionally this book will help motivate you to reach your goals. Before I read this book I had so many goals I wanted to reach. I was very overwhelmed. I did not know where to start. I started to journal in this book and it is starting to help guide me towards the things I desire to do in my life.
- The third book is Goliath Must Fall by Louie Giglio . We all have our " Goliath" we face day in and day out. We let these things weigh heavy on us. Our "Goliath" brings us down. It takes our joy , our energy , our peace , and maybe our time. This book speaks on how to overcome our "Goliath". It encourages you and shows you that you are victorious in every battle you face.
- The last book but certainly not least is the book of Genesis in the Bible. I have been trying to study the history of the Bible. I personally think if we know the history of the Bible it will help give us understanding. Growing up I knew the " Bible Stories " in the Bible , but as an adult I really want to study it.

SACRAMENTO -- Many know Eric Guerra as a Sacramento city councilman but they may not know he grew up in the U.S. illegally.
So whenever he got sick or hurt, which he seems to have done a lot as a young man, he never went to an emergency room or a doctor's office. His family worried about being deported.
"The fear, it was tremendous," Guerra told FOX40.
Last year, California passed a new law that made all children, ages 1 through 19, who were in the country illegally eligible for taxpayer-funded Medi-Cal health coverage.
On Monday, two new bills introduced in the California Senate and Assembly would do the same for all adults living here illegally.
How it would work is already raising concerns.
"They can't even tell us really what the program is at this point," said Republican consultant Tab Berg. "Is it Medi-Cal for all? And how do are you going to determine who's qualified and who's not?"
Berg said the plan is problematic. Without knowing exactly how many people are in California illegally he says it's impossible to know the plan's real cost or how the state would pay for it.
On top of that, is it a fair use of taxpayer dollars?
"There's definitely a group of people that say we shouldn't be providing health insurance to citizens of other countries," Berg explained.
"They are part of our community," said Rachel Linn Gish. "Whether you want them there or not, they are people who deserve health care."
Gish is with Health Access California, one of the sponsors of one of the bills.
"This is just one of a larger grouping of things that we can do to help move California closer to universal health care," she said.
She said an estimated 1.4 million people can't get access to health care because of their legal status. They are the largest uninsured group in the state.
Since children became Medi-Cal eligible, 250,000 kids are now covered. She calls it a worthy investment.
But do the bills have enough support to pass?
"There are enough people in the middle that are going to say, 'Hey, let's try to find something that actually works,'" Berg said.
"When everyone is working at their strongest and healthiest, everybody benefits," Guerra said.
