Several federal wilderness areas in Oregon would be roaded clear-cut if not for former Representative Jim Weaver (D-4th-OR, 1975–1987). Weaver has been the greatest wilderness advocate to represent Oregon in the U.S. House of Representatives so far.
Weaver will be ninety on August 8, 2017. I have a policy to remember some Oregon public lands conservation greats before they, in words from Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy, "have shuffled off this mortal coil." It is an interesting exercise and a challenge to write a remembrance of someone not yet passed. I call it a preremembrance.
James Howard Weaver was born in Brookings, South Dakota, in 1927 and ended up in Eugene in 1947 attending the University of Oregon. Before defeating incumbent Republican Representative John Dellenback in the post-Watergate 1976 election, Weaver was a developer of office and apartment buildings. Weaver served six terms in the House of Representatives, where he was known as pro-environment, anti–Vietnam War, and anti–nuclear power.
Passion and Paranoia
Weaver could have been a Shakespearean actor, with passion and paranoia characterizing his performance as a United States congressperson. There are generally three kinds of politicians: (1) those who have few or no principles or issues they really care about; (2) those who do have principles and issues they really care about but moderate them to get elected or gain influence inside the legislative body by getting along in the hope of furthering their principles and issues; and (3) those who have strong principles and issues and do not moderate them either for election or influence. Weaver was the third kind.
He was extremely passionate about many things and was the consummate outsider politician, seeking to change the world, more times than not, by speaking truth to power. I recall Weaver temporizing only on gun control (today it's called gun safety), where he represented southwest Oregon. It was understandable, as I hail from there and grew up in a house with more guns than place settings.
In 1980, in attempting to kill a bill to bail out the Washington Public Power Supply System, a syndicate of nuclear power plants that resulted in the second-largest municipal bond default in U.S. history, Weaver did the only filibuster in modern House history by offering 113 amendments to the bill. Later, the House amended its rules (the "Weaver rule") to prevent another filibuster.
Weaver knew his congressional district and what worked and didn't work and what he could do and not do. He was more pro-environment, especially on matters of conserving public lands for this and future generations, than was his district. But he was a good populist and labor Democrat taking on the special interests, and that worked well to get him reelected.
Most incumbents after a couple of elections enter a safe zone where the opposing party fields no or nominal opposition. Weaver never had an easy race. The timber industry, big in the day, loathed him (though he split them because he opposed the export of raw logs, which some in Big Timber loved and others hated).
Weaver's passion gene came on the same political chromosome as his paranoia gene. As a politician who never gained a safe seat, Weaver was necessarily always looking over his shoulder. (Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean you are not being followed.)
Down-district (not Eugene-Springfield) media generally loathed Weaver. For example, before and during his early years in Congress, Weaver donned a toupee. He eventually doffed the rug, but the Roseburg News-Review, until Weaver left office, always used one picture of an artificially hirsute Weaver. Every time, Weaver's media staff would send the newspaper a recent photo, but none ever made it into print.
Wilderness Bills: Taking on Hatfield
During his first two terms in Congress (1975–1978), Weaver championed what became the Endangered American Wilderness Act, which included additions to the Kalmiopsis, Mount Hood, and Three Sisters wilderness areas and established the Wild Rogue and Wenaha-Tucannon wilderness areas. The "endangered" bill was the background for this very junior member of Congress taking on the very senior Oregon Republican U.S. Senator Mark Hatfield. Weaver championed the return of French Pete, a series of low-elevation older forest watersheds, to the Three Sisters Wilderness. Hatfield had long opposed French Pete, but the political winds had changed and Hatfield finally joined with Weaver to do the right thing.
In early 1978, Hatfield's Oregon Omnibus Wilderness Act had passed the Senate and would have added 82,400 acres to the Kalmiopsis Wilderness Area. However, as originally introduced, Hatfield's bill would have added 134,000 acres to the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. Weaver's own proposal was for a 134,000-acre Kalmiopsis Wilderness addition and an adjacent 136,000-acre Wilderness Study Area. Weaver then persuaded the House to include all 280,000 acres as an addition to the already protected wilderness. A heated conference committee meeting ensued, and to resolve the differences between the two bills, the final addition was set at 92,000 acres. In 1978, for the Kalmiopsis, Hatfield won and Weaver lost, though not for lack of trying.
The House staff knew the area better than the Senate staff, so the northern boundary of this new wilderness addition was drawn to prevent the planned Bald Mountain Road. When Hatfield later learned this, he introduced a rider to move the boundary so as to allow the logging road to be built. The actual construction of the road was a catalyzing event in the Pacific Northwest Timber War.
It used to be that Oregon wilderness bills were enacted into law every six years, coincidental with the re-election of Senator Hatfield: 1972, 1978, 1984, 1996 (1990 was an exception in that the northern spotted owl had hit the political fan and the Northwest Timber War had begun).
Another showdown between Weaver and Hatfield would occur in 1984. I call it a draw (no small feat for Weaver), but it resulted in the largest single wilderness package ever enacted into law for Oregon. In 1977, the Carter administration, responding to concerns about the first Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE I) raised during congressional consideration of the Endangered American Wilderness Act, ordered the Forest Service to again review de facto wilderness lands (all roadless areas larger than 5,000 acres and roadless areas of any size bordering a designated wilderness area) and make recommendations to Congress. RARE II began with good intentions but in the end was again co-opted by the timber-dominated agency. Out of the2.9 million acres reviewed in Oregon, the Forest Service recommended only 415,000 acres for wilderness protection. Another 300,000 acres were designated for further study to determine whether they should be recommended for wilderness protection. The remaining 2.3 million acres were designated non-wilderness, to be left open to roading and logging. In 1979, Senator Hatfield responded to the Forest Service's RARE II recommendations by introducing and passing a bill that would have granted wilderness status to a mere 451,000 acres.
The Senate bill died in the House in 1980. No further congressional action was taken on Oregon wilderness protection until late 1982. Though Hatfield and Weaver agreed on numerous areas to be designated as wilderness, they vehemently disagreed about the remaining areas. The open hostility increased dramatically as their individual bills progressed through the dual chambers of Congress. While half (and the most publicly visible part) of the debate over the Oregon Wilderness Act centered on which areas to designate as protected wilderness, the other half concerned the fate of the roadless areas not to be protected.
The timber industry favored "release" language for areas not receiving wilderness protection, which would have precluded the areas from ever being considered by the Forest Service for wilderness again, as was then required by law. Of course, conservationists opposed releasing any areas from the legal requirements that compel the Forest Service to periodically consider roadless areas for wilderness and make such recommendations to Congress.
To help frame the wilderness versus timber debate, Weaver stated he would not support a wilderness bill that affected more than 2 percent of Oregon's timber supply. Even Weaver was surprised when Oregon conservationists complied by proposing legislation that would have established 1.9 million acres of wilderness. While affecting only 2 percent of Oregon's timber supply, the proposal still contained too many acres and board feet for those political times.
In late 1982, to force Congress into action, the Oregon Natural Resources Council (now Oregon Wild), the National Audubon Society, and other conservation organizations threatened to file a lawsuit to prevent the further development of Oregon's national forest roadless areas without preparation of an adequate environmental impact statement for RARE II. The state of California had recently won a similar lawsuit, so it was a slam-dunk case.
During the post-election lame duck congressional session in December 1982, Weaver used the threat of the RARE II litigation to push another wilderness bill in the House, a bill that would have designated 1,118,875 acres of wilderness and wilderness study areas in Oregon. Though it was supported by a clear majority during House consideration, it had to be brought to the floor under a "suspension of the rules." This meant the bill as presented could not be amended and a two-thirds majority was required for passage. The bill lost with 247 yeas and 141 nays.
The bitter division among the Oregon congressional delegation continued throughout 1983. The conservation community remained split over whether to file the highly meritorious but politically problematic RARE II lawsuit. Weaver's failed wilderness bill of the previous Congress was resurrected that current Congress as H.R.1149 and passed the House easily in March 1983—and included about 10,000 more acres. Had the Senate passed the House bill, it would have resulted in an additional 1,128,375 acres of Oregon wilderness.
While Weaver led the House effort for Oregon wilderness in the early 1980s, Representatives Les AuCoin and Ron Wyden (Oregon Democrats) also played important roles. Weaver can be credited with the 1983 House bill having as much acreage as it did, and it passed the House partly due to AuCoin's work. That the North Fork John Day, Salmon-Huckleberry, and Badger Creek areas were as large as they were, and that Table Rock was included in the bill at all, are due to Wyden's leadership. After passing the House, the bill went to the Senate, where it languished for the rest of 1983.
In December of that year, the long-threatened RARE II lawsuit against the Forest Service was filed. The suit successfully prevented the Reagan administration from building roads and logging in the 2.2 million acres of Oregon national forest lands recommended for non-wilderness. It also forced Hatfield to finally act on wilderness legislation. Hatfield passed a modified and diminished version of H.R.1149 totaling 780,500 acres through the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. His bill also included "soft release" of lands categorized as non-wilderness. Soft release differed from the timber industry's hoped-for hard release by theoretically requiring future agency consideration of these lands for wilderness designation in ten to fifteen years.
Under the political threat of the litigation, the Oregon congressional delegation soon reached a compromise that added 861,500 acres of wilderness in Oregon. The Oregon Wilderness Act of 1984 added the first extensive stands of Oregon old-growth forest to the National Wilderness Preservation System. In addition to Drift Creek, these included the Middle Santiam, Waldo Lake, Rock Creek, Salmon-Huckleberry, Cummins Creek, Bridge Creek, Black Canyon, Badger Creek, Bull-of-the-Woods, Boulder Creek, Mill Creek, Grassy Knob, Monument Rock, North Fork John Day, North Fork Umatilla, and Rogue-Umpqua Divide wildernesses.
The bill also designated Oregon's first forest wilderness of less than 5,000 acres in size, the Menagerie Wilderness. The bill included Oregon's first BLM-administered wilderness, the Table Rock Wilderness. (The Wild Rogue Wilderness also includes BLM lands but is administered by the Forest Service.)
In addition, previously unprotected stretches of the Cascade crest were finally protected in the Columbia, Mount Thielsen, and Sky Lakes wildernesses. The Diamond Peak, Mt. Jefferson, Mount Washington, and Three Sisters wildernesses along the Cascade crest were also widened to include lower elevation and more diverse forestlands, as was the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness. Finally, some more classic wilderness (small in size, high in elevation, and/or with few trees) was protected in the Red Buttes Wilderness and the Gearhart Mountain and Hells Canyon wilderness additions.
Thanks, Jim!
In 1986, Weaver challenged Oregon Republican U.S. Senator Bob Packwood, who was seeking re-election. The House Ethics Committee probed Weaver's campaign finances, and Weaver dropped out of the election in August. Later, the House Ethics Committee stated Weaver had not violated the law and that the earlier filings contained errors.
As Jim Weaver quietly lives out his days in his beloved Oregon, this and future generations are in his debt because even though he represented the congressional district ranked highest for timber production in the nation, Weaver was a strong and tireless proponent of wilderness. There are wilderness areas today safely on the map, both inside and beyond his congressional district, because Jim Weaver stood up for the wild in Oregon in ways that no elected official had done before or has done since.
Thanks, Jim!

Sure seems like summer!/
May was spent holidaying in the US west. I hope to post a short video on a raft trip I did with the boys on the upper Grand Canyon. The rest of the time (with Carol) was in Napa (road biking, wine tasting, hiking, and kayaking), San Fran and then 101 highway through to Washington. Beautiful!
Back in Alberta: After a couple of kayak paddles on the Kananaskis and Elbow Rivers with some friends on fairly high water, Carol and I went on a hike to Wasootch Ridge off the Kananaskis highway, about a 35 minute drive from Grandview Chalet B&B in Canmore. The high was 23C, and it was calm and sunny. Can't do better than that!
The 6.9 km hike (if you make the summit) gains 3200' (975m). An unmarked trail starts out of the Wasootch Creek parking lot, and immediately climbs a very steep trail before following the ups and a few downs along an impressive ridge. Views are great on both sides, dropping steeply into respective creek drainages. Wasootch Creek nicely displays what the 2013 flood did with alluvial deposits all along the drainage, down to the Kananaskis River. The limber pines(?) show very cool shapes up high along the ridge, tortured by the winds and snows.
In numerous areas, the Mississippian limestone has branching corals, crinoids, and the odd brachiopod - in some cases actual reefs. The rock along the ridge is nearly vertically thrusted, which makes for a very interesting scramble for those who wish to get to the top. We opted for one of the last nubs before the actual peak for some lunch - shared with a chipmunk.
The weather continues to be excellent in western Canada - but that is about to change to showers, which are likely needed. After the tour through California, rain can be appreciated.

72 Steps
World Premiere
November 10, 2018
Harpeth Hall School's Frances Bond DAVIS Theatre
Choreography by Gina Patterson
Music by Jordan Hamlin
Costume design by Jocelyn Melechinsky
Run time: 30 minutes with a 15-minute talk-back
Commissioned by the League of Women Voters of Nashville and their "Perfect 36 Sponsors," Gina Patterson's 72 Steps takes an empowering and celebratory look at the ratification of the 19th Amendment and the vital role Tennessee played in it.
Patterson's work transports audiences to the early 1900s as camps in favor and opposition of suffrage frantically battle for support in the days leading up to the Tennessee legislature's history-making vote.
Depicting a fight that began with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 and spanned over 72 years, this ballet transcends time in a rallying call to action designed to create dialogue surrounding the past and modern-day barriers to a unified and equitable society.
This event is free to the public. Due to limited capacity, advance reservations are recommended. Online reservations end two hours prior to the performance. Attendees will check in at Harpeth Hall School's Frances Bond Davis Theatre; seating is general admission. Get directions.
Please join us after the performance for a talkback with the artists.

Should We Worry About the Industrial Prison Complex In America?
Not long ago, I read an interesting article about a company that owned contract prisons in Texas and how they'd lost their contract as there just were not enough prisoners and the state didn't need them. So, this company had shut down many locations. We can expect this as our population ages because most crimes are committed by younger males under 30 years old. As they grow up and get with the program they just don't seem to cause the same types of problems, thus, more prisons are not needed.It has often been noted that there are more people in prison in the US on average than any other country. That is unfortunate, something is amiss. The other day I was discussing this with an acquaintance from Washington DC area, she noted that our criminal justice system was flawed, particularly against young black males. Okay, so let's talk about this shall we?You see I also read an interesting piece on February 16, 2013 in the Wall Street Journal titled; "Perform Criminal Background Checks at Your Own Peril," by James Bovard which stated; "A federal policy intended to help minorities is likely to have the opposite effect." Now, then after you go and read that article, come back to this article so we can discuss a few issues here.Indeed, I told my Spaghetti Bowl area acquaintance; "oh the criminal justice system "flawed" yes, indeed it is isn't it?" Out here in CA we have a real challenge with the prison employees union, the costs are killing our budget, too many incarcerated, but also when we let out lots of folks our crime rates started hiking back up after being down for a decade. Problem appears to be the recidivism rates, so I agree with your focus there for retraining, or even help them into a small business as some employers won't touch them after a prison term.My acquaintance also noted the gang violence and race wars in our US prisons. Sure, there is self-segregation, gang affiliation, and all that in our prisons. It's not okay. My acquaintance also noted that more education was needed to prevent so many incarcerations. Sure, we can either educate them today or pay for more;1. Juvenile Halls,
2. Courts,
3. Police,
4. Prisons and,
5. Rehabs,later on down the road. My acquaintance also suggested that I read Michelle Alexander's book "The New Jim Crow, The Industrial Prison Complex," so I thought I'd tell my readers too. Some have said that we need our prisons to help teach prisoners job skills and entrepreneurship, so when they get out they can get a job. Sure, that makes sense, although after much thought on this topic I am somewhat worried about giving the tools to run a business to those who might still have criminal inclinations, so I've approached this particular topic very carefully. Please consider all this and think on it.

I watched the match in a bar on Place Luxembourg in Brussels. The place was full of fun Germans who of course were delighted at their team who have undoubtfully been the best team of the tournament, yesterday playing some world class counter-attacking football: Bastian Schweinsteiger was simply formidable, Thomas Müller again amazing (he will be greatly missed against Spain) and Miroslav Klose has now scored more world cup goals than Pelé... For the sake of football I believe that Germany is the team to support and for them to take the title.
In spite of the great respect for the Germans and the cool fans in the bar, I was heartbroken and left at Germany's third goal.
Now I know how it is to be English...
Argentina crashed spectacularly, but have been great to watch in this World Cup. Still, there will be much discussion on Maradona's choices, the weak defense and that Messi was another of the most spectacular flops of the tournament. Probably, Argentine football is only walking into yet another period of what it does most in its schizophrenic soul-searching.
As to me, some days full of disappointments, but as with everything in life, I have learned not to expect too much. I will have some beers, continue watching (although with some melancholy) and well, congratulate Germany, and hope they win the World Cup!

"Human, I have a question for you."
"What is, it, Bagheera?"
"This article in Catster says that some felines like to be held by their humans."
"Yes, Bagheera, it's true. It would make it a lot easier to give you the treatment you need as a diabetic cat if you enjoyed being held."
"Forget it, human. You know I have always only tolerated being held by you and don't like it. I think felines who like to be held are strange. Pepe did not like it, Jacey doesn't like it, and Marley won't even let you think about it. That is four of us who do not like being held."
"Well, there are some cats who like it, Bagheera."
"Not us."
Why do some cats not want to be picked up? Some of us just don't like it. Catster tells a story of a feline named Baxter, who even had a behavioral expert try to pick him up. But even this expert knew better than to hold Baxter for too long. He would tolerate being held for about a ten count, and then the claws would come out.
And then there is the problem with humans who do not know how to pick us up properly. If you are going to do it, what you want to do is put one hand on our body under our front legs, and then use your other hand to support the rear part of our body. If we felines are comfortable at that point, we will put our paws on your shoulders and if we really trust you, we may even start to purr.
Now knowing how to do this and actually doing it are two different things. Both the feline and the human have to feel the love for each other. And when that happens, it can be a very happy moment. That is what happened to one of the humans at Catster. He absolutely adored one of his felines, and that adoration was mutual. So one day, he just decided to pick up the cat. This is what happened, accompanied by a lot of purring.
My human thinks that it would be easier for him to give me the treatment I need as a diabetic cat if I would tolerate him holding me. That is not going to happen. But if you have the right feline and the right human, it can be very nice!

The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security.
It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience.
This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used.
Finally, one can only hope that politicians will listen to the experts.....without using ham handed steamroller or more fascist police state tactics where subtlety is needed.

They have these pringles that come with dips and there are three different dips:
Honey mustard, Ranch and Jalapeno and cheese.
I got the Jalapeno and cheese dip to try and regretted not getting the ranch.
The dip is quite decent and you get quite a fair bit for a half tube of pringles and it had a nice cheddar taste with a spicy kick to it.
The only thing that annoyed me were the pringles because they kept snapping everytime I dipped them.

Tips on utilizing the uniqueness of Ricoh Copiers or Color Photocopiers
- 02:16
- By Justin Jersey
- 0 Comments
Today, we are living in a world of new innovations and technology is advancing in a rapid speed. The people of this new generation are entering into an era of changing work environment where a rapid increase in mobility and greater need for accessing information is being felt. With the changing scenario, people are becoming more and more dependent on devices like the color photocopiers. Every manufacturer of electronic machines is looking for innovative solutions to stay a step ahead of its competitors. For example, the photocopiers are showing more expertise in capturing, transforming and then managing information to give the best possible result.

Camp Mather. Summer 2003. We go every year. Unless you count Christmas with family, I don't. Although that is a vacation. It hasn't been so long, but we are planning our next one, during Easter vaction, either the White Mountains in Eastern Sierras or a springy wildflowery desert or both.
2. Was child birth the most physically/mentally painful thing you've ever done in your life? If not, what was?
No, raising them has been much harder. I don't want to go into the other pain in my life that I've felt in this response... but there are much harder things, although I will admit childbirth hurts a LOT. It really does feel like you are trying to pass a watermelon, definitely.

Episode 3: Stephen Tobolowsky
Original Airdate: March 9th, 2014 on The Director's Club Podcast
RECORDED AS POP CULTURE CLUB / DIRECTOR'S CLUB: In light of the recent passing of Harold Ramis, I sought out an actor who worked with him on the modern-day classic GROUNDHOG DAY. You might remember him as Needle Nose Ned. Before listening to this bonus episode, I encourage you to check out the IMDB listing for Stephen Tobolowsky. The list goes on and on and on since he has appeared in over 200 TV shows and movies, and he is definitely one of those memorable character actors you've seen in at least something past or presently.
He was incredibly kind to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about his experience working with Harold Ramis as well as a couple other stories about the making of GROUNDHOG DAY. And of course, I couldn't help but ask about one of my favorite Tobolowsky roles as Sammy Jenkins in MEMENTO. Thank you so much for listening to one of the more memorable conversations I've had to date.

The bathroom renovation was a enormous project – my organising capabilities were place to good use I made lists of who was doing what (us vs tradesman) and what our price range was maintaining track of our expenditures along the way (see expense breakdown at the finish of this page). The placement, size and style of the vanity will effect the overall design and style of the bathroom space. Nonetheless, it really is widespread for them to price range in a 100 percent cushion, which most other industries would locate unacceptable. Contractors frequently also have wider access to bath remodel accessories since of their individual relationships with companies. Home owners have numerous choices when it comes to bathroom remodels and the total expense depends on style and price range. Bathroom remodels give some of the highest resale returns as a home improvement project.
The list of fixtures involved in remodeling a bathroom can incorporate elements like faucets and fixtures, floor strategy modifications, new showers or baths, new flooring, countertops, cabinets and lighting. Before getting the gear, we require to believe of all the motives why renovating the bathroom is a need to have. The added space can come in handy when there are nonetheless other essentials that are needed for the bathroom. 1 of the best issues for home owners taking into consideration any sort of renovation is the cost.
In speaking with many contractors, they confirmed my time frame and most of them stated they like to price range 5 to eight operating days to comprehensive a bathroom. If you do not get any warranty for the workmanship supplied by a renovation firm then recognize that it could be a foul play. A big issue in determining cost will be the size of your bathroom, ranging from modest to medium or master bathroom size. If you add in my components expenses from the list above, that brings your total bathroom remodel costs to $four,065. Despite the fact that not the most glamorous element, the toilet is an essential aspect of your bathroom. This step is crucial and labor intensive – the cost for this step can easily typical $2,000. According to the 2015/16 HIA Kitchen and Bathrooms survey, the typical expense of a total bathroom renovation in 2015 was on average $17,779.
Practically any material can be utilized to surface walls and floors in the bathroom as lengthy as it really is waterproof, either naturally or by signifies of an impervious finish. Excellent, just what everybody requirements to know and think about when remodelling their bathroom. So it is the responsibility of the customer to be a small a lot more aware whilst picking a bathroom renovation company guaranteeing that your money is getting effectively spent. Sweeten is a matchmaking service, connecting home owners with renovation projects to the best regional specialists in design & building. So primarily based on 40 hours of work (5 days which is about what it should take) for these two workers a good total labor cost would be about $2,340.
In the web site prep stage, important behind-the-scenes labor is needed to guarantee that your bathroom renovation maintains its value more than time. A price range vanity would normally be acrylic or polymarble and the cabinet would normally be made of laminate timber. I feel the major project in my bathroom would be replacing the bathtub and bath surround which are most likely the originals from when the property was built practically 30 years ago. My bathrooms had radiant floors (which will shoot the cost of your remodel way up, so don't complain when your remodel is $20K and every person else's was $8K. Lastly, you should know how extended it will take to full the complete renovation project. I just want to replace some of the bathroom fixtures that are obtaining a bit old.

Pro-environmental households and energy efficiency in Spain
Title: Pro-environmental households and energy efficiency in Spain
Author: RAMOS, Ana; LABANDEIRA, Xavier; LÖSCHEL, Andreas
Date: 2016
Publisher: Springer
Citation: Environmental & resource economics, 2016, Vol. 63, No. 2, pp. 367-393
The residential building sector is a major driver of current and future energy consumption and associated emissions, which can be potentially mitigated through significant energy-efficiency (EE) improvements in both emerging and developed countries. Yet, there are several persistent barriers that hinder the attainment of EE improvements in this area. Using data from a 2008 national representative survey of Spanish households, this paper is interested in the determinants of EE-related decisions. In particular, a discrete-choice model empirically analyzes whether pro-environmental households are more likely to invest in EE and to adopt daily energy-saving habits. We show that households with eco-friendly behaviors are more likely to investment in well-differentiated EE measures as well as to steer daily habits towards energy savings. However, no effects are found for households with environmental attitudes based on stated willingness to pay to protect the environment. In addition to this, households belonging to higher income groups and education levels are more likely to invest in EE but not to adopt energy-saving habits while households with older members are less likely to invest in EE and show fewer eco-friendly habits.

Where do I begin? Our garage sale this weekend went well and it was because of so many great people that helped bring it together. Our friends and family came together to really make this happen and we feel so blessed to have them all in our lives! My mom and grams came down on Wednesday night and with the help of our friends Mark and Amy, we organized the items and priced everything. Wow, that is one big job!! We would never have finished it without the help! Thursday, Friday, and Saturday went by so quickly. We met many nice people at the garage sale and sold quite a few items. Let me tell you what my grams is quite the salesperson!! She can convince anyone that they need something:) We also saw many familiar faces at the sale too, which was a great encouragement. By the end of Saturday with the sale and some very gracious donations, we had raised just under 1000 dollars! Wow, God is great! In case you are wondering about the cost of adoption and what this money will go towards, we recently sent 3000 dollars to the home study agency for our home study and will soon be writing a 845 dollar check for our i600A form (yes that is one piece of paper!). The funds raised from the garage sale will go towards these costs. As we said before, we cannot express how thankful we are for all of those that helped make this happen!! THANK YOU!!!!
Prayer please: our fire inspection is Tuesday morning, July 13 at 8:00 AM. We still have to get ready by hanging the fire extinguisher and fire alarms and posting our evacuation routes and important phone numbers. We've just been so busy with the garage sale we haven't had time. I am nervous about the inspection after talking with the inspector on the phone. PLEASE PLEASE pray that we'll pass without a hitch!

Santhara is a conscious decision, say Jain community members in Indore
The Rajasthan high court judgment declaring the Jain practice of Santhara or Sallekhana (fast unto death) illegal has drawn strong reactions from the community in Indore. While some see the decision as an intrusion of the justice system into what is considered an 'essential tenet' of Jainism, others have lauded the order as "legally and scientifically" justified.indore Updated: Aug 12, 2015 21:08 IST
The Rajasthan high court judgment declaring the Jain practice of Santhara or Sallekhana (fast unto death) illegal has drawn strong reactions from the community in Indore. While some see the decision as an intrusion of the justice system into what is considered an 'essential tenet' of Jainism, others have lauded the order as "legally and scientifically" justified.
Local resident Sunil Chordia, 51, who owns Rajratan Global Wire Ltd at Pithampur in the neighbouring Dhar district, said when his 92-year-old grandmother Tibu Bai died within five days of undertaking Santhara in 2005, it was a conscious decision.
"She told us that her end was near as she explained how her physical condition was deteriorating. This is how she gave up food and water. It was not suicide," Sunil said.
His 95-year-old grandfather Rajmal Chordia, who earlier traded in bullion and textiles in Ratlam, undertook Santhara two and half hours before his death in 2008.
According to Sunil, suicide is an impulsive action while Santhara is a spiritual decision. "It is done with chanting of mantras. Moreover, Santhara can be withdrawn if the person realises that he cannot live without food and water or he is getting better," Sunil said, adding that he sees nothing wrong in the religious practice.
Gautam Kothari, president of Pithampur industries association, said the decision to undertake up the rigorous fast unto death is the result of strong will and spiritual insight. "Even Vinoba Bhave (forerunner of the Bhoodan movement) gave up food and water before his death. Santhara is a religious practice followed from ancient times," he said.
Indore's Jain community is over one lakh strong and "not even 100 Jains undertake Santhara. It's a very uncommon practice," Kothari said, stressing how community pressure doesn't play a role in the decision.
There are others, however, who see the high court order as a necessary step.
Dr Rajesh Jain, executive director, CHL Apollo Hospital, Indore, said. "Legally and scientifically, Santhara is (wrong) - it is a suicide type of thing." On several occasions, people are motivated by their kin to undertake Santhara. "This is not right even on human grounds. Even if a person wants to take up Santhara, he should be discouraged," he said.
The city had witnessed a similar controversy in 2006 when Chitrasagar Maharaj (previously known as Tejkaran Jain) died after undertaking Santhara at Mangi Bai Kala community hall in Nemi Nagar. Soon after his death, the community's spiritual leader Bhutbali Sagar Maharaj shared the experiences he had with Chitrasagar Maharaj during the course of his Santhara and told devotees that a person achieves 'punya', or salvation, by following the practice.
When Chitrasagar Maharaja died, his sons Rajendra and Lalit Jain observed the event as 'Mrityu Mahotsava' (celebration of death), where the community gathered in large numbers and offered coconut as a sign of respect for the deceased, whose body was set up in the 'Samadhi' position. The body was later taken out in a palanquin decorated with ribbons and glaze paper, with music band leading the funeral procession.

When I lived in Nashville, at the northeast corner of our backyard was a marker that designated our property line. The imaginary lines created by that marker separated my property from that of Mrs. Johnson who lived next door. When she would mow her grass, she would mow along that imaginary line, and when I mowed my grass I did the same. That property marker formed boundaries for our respective properties.
Have you established proper boundaries for your personal life? I can make this practical.
• Do you know someone who constantly gives unasked-for advice?
• Do you have someone in your life, say your mom, who tries to tell you where to spend your holidays, how to parent, or how to spend your money?
• Do you know an adult child who has moved in with his or her parents without their permission?
• Do you know someone who never can say "no" to other people's requests?
• Do you know someone who attempts to "rescue" other people from their problems?
• Do you know someone who touches other people inappropriately?
• Or how about that person who breaks line in front of people?
• Do you know someone who is a people pleaser?
These are individuals without boundaries.
Boundaries and Your Emotional Health
Boundaries are like property lines that govern our lives, and they bring balance and emotional health to our lives. Here's how.
• Boundaries help you maintain your separateness. They define who you are, and who you are not; what you are responsible for, and what you are not; and they define what you will allow, and what you will not.
• Boundaries build healthy relationships with others. If you are always complying with another's wishes, that's not healthy. If you are always being controlled and manipulated by others, that's not healthy, either. If needy people are always taking advantage of you, then you need to set some boundaries in your life.
• Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us, and under what circumstances.
• Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own ideas and opinions.
• Emotional boundaries help us disengage from the manipulative actions of others.
• Spiritual boundaries help us distinguish God's will from our own will.
God Is a Model for Setting Boundaries
Job 38:10-11 states, "When I [God] fixed limits I said, 'This far you may come and no farther.'" God spoke these words about His creation of the land and the sea. He fixed boundaries for each.
But the concept of boundaries comes from the very nature of God. He defines Himself as unique, separate, and distinct. He said, "Your ways aren't my ways" (see Isaiah 55:8). God takes responsibility for Himself by telling us what He likes and doesn't like. By showing us what He feels, what He plans, and what He will and will not allow. God gives us the choice of saying yes to Him or no to Him, and He doesn't manipulate us into saying either of those. God is a great model for boundaries.
How to Set Boundaries in Your Life
1. Be responsible for yourself and to others.—In regards to yourself, you are responsible for yourself. In regards to others you are only responsible to them. Those without boundaries live as though they are responsible for everyone else.
2. Accept that you have the freedom to decide what you will or will not do.—Persons without boundaries are compliant, not able to say no. They are afraid others will reject them or be mad at them so they always comply with others' wishes.
3. Be accountable for your own choices. —Exercise your God-given freedom. Make your own choices. Just know that you are responsible for the choices you make. Don't attempt to make others responsible for the choices you have made.
4. Meet your own needs.—Don't operate as if your spouse, your friends, your pastor, or your boss are responsible for meeting all your needs. Need-meeting lies within your own boundaries.
Sometimes we focus so much on being loving, helpful, and unselfish that we forget our own limits and limitations. Boundaries prevent us from trying to control other people and from them trying to control us. And, best of all, boundaries bring more hope to your life.
**I was helped in writing this blog post by "Boundaries" the terrific book by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. It's the best book on the subject you will find.

Making Your Mark
Kelly Clark
"To draw, you must close your eyes and sing" - Pablo Picasso
So we've all done it: filling the corners of semi-important paperwork, down the sides of notepads, even covering the outside of binders back in the school days. I'm here to tell you today that all that doodling you always was thought was mindless is GOOD. Even better than good, it's GREAT.
We spent some time last week developing our visual vocabulary by looking back to the work in our past; it's time to start moving forward to our future work now. When we take on doodling as an intentional action a few beautiful things happen: Our hand relaxes (there is nothing precise we're trying to render), our gaze relaxes (freeing our minds of focused work), our intuition has the time and space to speak a little louder, and at the end, we are left with a whole collection of marks to use and incorporate into our work as we see fit (as well as adapt as symbols in our work!).
Two weeks ago we did up sketches in our books based on the things we could collect and study. Today we'll be playing with an exercise that begins with similar perimeters, but rather than looking outward, we'll be looking inward and allowing our hand to dictate what appears on paper.
Now for those whose preferred medium is not pencil or paint, I'd like to speak on why this is a particularly interesting way to play. When we free our minds and hands to doodle, we come up with a plethora of marks to use. In metal or leather, these marks and patterns can translate into stamped, rolled or etched textures. In fabric or collage they might become shapes to layer and applique or even hand stitch. After I sit down to a good mark making session I'll often examine my smithing tools AND wander around my house looking for surfaces, textures, stamps that look like the marks I just drew and might be useful in transferring them to my particular medium. When I sit down to a fresh sheet of watercolor paper or a blank canvas, I'll open my sketchbook to those doodling pages and see if there are any marks I want to incorporate right then.
Week 4 Home[play]: Mark Making
(you lucky ladies - it's a double homeplay week!)
Set aside some gentle (and breakable if desire be - by all means, play and draw as long as feels great!) perimeters: I'd like you to either take 20 minutes OR fill a page. Put on some music, light a candle, be present in your studio space and just start doodling. For some it is easiest to begin by thinking about making a mandala: make a tiny circle or center point on your page, and begin by creating circles or marks and doodles around it, radiating out until the page is filled. For others starting in a corner and allowing your marks to spread like vines, growing out and across the paper works best. For still others, dividing the page into a quick grid of nine boxes and then filling one small box at a time feels good (and quite manageable). And like so many of my own drawing exercises, I love to keep a couple interesting things on hand to look at - just in case I feel a bit lost at any moment there is something at the ready to examine and a new shape to draw. There is no wrong way to do this! Try on different marks, swirls, geometric shapes - the more variety you have, the more you'll be able to pull from as you create future work.
And of course, if you're in the Facebook group and feel inspired to share your mark-making-doodle-a-thons, please do! Cock-a-Doodlly-doo!

REVIEW: Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn/
I didn't really know what this book was about, I try not to read up a lot on books that I still haven't read. I just but them and then wait for the surprise. Since this book was so popular I just had to buy it, even though I ended up not reading it for a long time.I blame that on having a newborn at the time.
The book is about a missing girl, not a young girl, a married woman who goes missing, and her husband is trying to find her, he is devastated, and tries to uncover her past in order to help bring her back. And that's all I will say.
This book was great, definitely on my top list of books, it was dark creepy and gripping, I was constantly guessing what happened, and at one point I guessed right, but then changed my mind. Definitely kept me hooked. The characters were good enough where I wanted to find out more and more, but I think it's the story itself, the mystery that makes this book so great. The ending might make people angry or disappointed. But no matter how you think it could have ended, this is the only way. Any other ending wouldn't feel right.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little mystery, it's not a long book so you don't invest too much time in it if you hate it, but I doubt you will. And yes, you are supposed to hate the characters.

SU SHAMPOO & BODY WASH: For post-sun restoration. Delicate and moisturizing SU Shampoo & Body Wash gently cleanses hair and body after sun exposure.
SU HAIR MASK: For restoring sun-exposed or damaged hair. Anti-Aging SU replenishes softness, moisture and shine to all hair types.

Book Your Trip To Argentina
Get your dream travel planned & booked by local travel experts
Learn Morechevron_right
Stretching for a couple of hundred kilometres west and northwest of Buenos Aires city, the Pampa Húmeda ("wet pampa") is the country's most fertile and valuable land. It is dotted with several sites of interest, including Luján, at the very beginning of the RN-5, less than 70km west of the federal capital. This is Argentina's leading religious site, thanks to its vast basilica, purpose-built to house an image of the country's patron saint, the Virgin of Luján. Further along the RN-5, Mercedes stands out for its authentic pulpería largely untouched since the nineteenth century. Pulperías, essentially provisions stores with a bar attached, performed an important social role in rural Argentina (rather like Wild West saloons or British village pubs) and enjoy an almost mythical status in gaucho folklore.
The small town of Lobos, to the capital's southwest, is another popular weekend destination for Porteños, primarily for its lakeside setting. The most notable destination hereabouts, though, is San Antonio de Areco, a charming market town to the capital's northwest, along the RN-8. Known colloquially as Areco, it has retained a remarkably authentic feel despite its popularity with tourists; if you visit only one pampas town during your stay in Argentina, this is the one to head for. As the recognized centre of pampas tradition, Areco puts on a popular gaucho festival in November and has some highly respected artisans and an extremely attractive and unusually well preserved historic centre. Like other destinations in the Pampa Húmeda, it is close to Buenos Aires and a potential day-trip from the capital, but spending a night – especially at an estancia – will give you a better feel for the much slower pace of life in the interior. Areco and its neighbours are also useful stopping-off points on the way to the Litoral, Córdoba or the Northwest. Further afield and better suited for a longer stay (or a stopover on the way to Patagonia), Tandil is an appealing town of cobbled streets with its own tradition of pampas culture. The main attraction is the nearby mountain scenery, perfect for riding and long rambles.

Jon Pineda is a Southern writer you need to keep your eye on. His latest novel, Let No One Get Hurt, has won praise from writers Lauren Groff and Wiley Cash, comparisons to Huck Finn and Jesmyn Ward, and stars from just about every reviewer out there.
Fifteen-year-old Pearl is squatting in an abandoned boathouse with her father, a disgraced college professor, and two other grown men, deep in the swamps of the American South. All four live on the fringe, scavenging what they can, and despite the isolation, Pearl feels at home with her makeshift family. Enter Mason Boyd, aka "Main Boy," from a nearby affluent neighborhood where he and his raucous friends ride around in tricked-out golf carts, shoot their fathers' shotguns, and aspire to make Internet pranking videos. While Pearl is out scavenging in the woods, she meets Main Boy, who eventually reveals that his father has purchased the property on which Pearl and the others are squatting. With all the power in Main Boy's hands, a very unbalanced relationship forms between the two kids, culminating in a devastating scene of violence and humiliation.
Let No One Get Hurt reads with equal parts fairytale idyll and looming darkness. Come hear Jon in conversation on Sunday May 20 at 1pm. This event is completely free.

Human Praise Is a Cheap Reward
Luke 6:20–26
If you want the praise of others, you will get it. If you want riches, you might get them. In this lab, John Piper invites us to respond to God's call to live for something higher.
Some questions to ask as you read and study Luke 6:20–26:
- Many of us long for human praise. Is this always a bad thing?
- Read Matthew 6:2, 5, 16 and Luke 16:19–25. What do these passages teach about doing things to be seen by others?
- Are you living for human praise? Do you pursue God to be seen by others? How can this change this week?

Principle for Bible Reading
One way that people love to communicate is to use words and phrases that someone else has said in the past to enhance what they are saying now. We quote others to defend, explain, or confirm what we are trying to communicate.
The biblical authors do this as well. When you see New Testament authors quote Old Testament verses, ask what texts they are quoting to make their point or, when they do not quote a specific text, which texts they might have had in mind. Utilizing cross-references, especially when a New Testament verse or passage cites or alludes to Old Testament passages, helps us to have a fuller understanding of what the authors were trying to communicate.
Most study Bibles have cross-references that connect you to other texts in the Bible that relate in some way to that text. Whether connected thematically or by a common phrase, cross-referencing enhances our study when we take the time to look up the verses.

A New Year is a time for resolutions. It is also a time of reflection, as we look back on twelve months of highs and lows for environmental policy – a subject closely intertwined with several of Future Planet's core impact investment themes. In 2017 we witnessed a stream of headlines in this area but, for us, few left as deep a mark as The Lancet's damning report on the impact of pollution. This is a sorely neglected subject, and a global killer: the new study linked it to 9 million premature deaths, a productivity loss of at least $66 billion and a welfare cost of $4.6 trillion in 2015 alone.
Source: Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, WHO, Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health.
It was the year that President Trump's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement sparked an international outcry, but also provoked a surge of domestic activism in the form of the #WeAreStillIn campaign. It was the year that China seized the reins on clean tech, committing a mountain of capital towards the cause and placing a curb on coal production. It was the year when Norway's SWF decided to divest from fossil fuels and force banks to disclose the carbon footprint of their loans, while mutual fund giants such as Vanguard and BlackRock spoke (somewhat) more loudly on ESG risks.
It was a year of champions and villains, of hope and hypocrisy.
Amid these powerful news stories, the October 2017 paper from The Lancet Commission on Pollution and Health generated somewhat less fanfare: an intelligent article in the Guardian here, some coverage on CNN.com there. Yet its details were at once staggering and sobering.
"Pollution is the largest environmental cause of disease and premature death in the world today," said the study - by far the most thorough and detailed of its type. "Diseases caused by pollution were responsible for an estimated 9 million premature deaths in 2015 - 16% of all deaths worldwide - three times more deaths than from AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined... In the most severely affected countries, pollution-related disease is responsible for more than one death in four."
These numbers are almost too large to contemplate. They are heavily concentrated in low- and middle-income countries, while in developed economies they primarily affect minorities, marginalised communities and children.
Despite the far-reaching effects, the subject of pollution has been neglected. "The health effects of pollution are underestimated in calculations of the global burden of disease," say the authors, while the effects of industrial emissions, vehicular exhaust and toxic chemicals have "particularly been overlooked in both the international development and global health agendas." Interventions against pollution are barely mentioned in the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases.
When it comes to investment decision-making, pollution is an aspect of environmental impact that is not fully considered by investors' ESG policies or impact agendas. While increasingly sophisticated analysis has been applied to measure carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions, "responsible" fund managers have a weaker grasp on the broader polluting activity of the companies in which they hold stakes. On the reporting side, many companies are now at ease with preparing their carbon emissions data for investors to access but do little numerical reporting on other pollutants.
Carbon matters. But carbon is not the only thing that matters.
At Future Planet Capital, we are deeply concerned with ensuring that the companies that we invest in, partner with or recognise through our annual Awards are treating broader environmental pollution with the gravity that it deserves. Many of these firms are based on innovations that directly combat aspects of the pollution challenge.
Synova Power is a fantastic example of a firm that makes a real, demonstrable impact on pollution, tackling landfills in poor countries with a radical new approach to processing waste. CEO Giffen Ott says: "Our mission is to eliminate landfills and fully convert the materials which otherwise turn fugitive or are wasted within them. In doing so, we cannot merely convert a solid waste issue into a water or air emission issue, so we pay a lot of attention to the removal of contaminants from the gas which could otherwise become air pollutants and we are zero water discharge."
Yet even for a firm like this, the reduction of non-carbon pollution is not formally measured and communicated. "We have detailed methodology for and estimates of the CO2 greenhouse gas savings which flow from the use of our technology," continues Ott. "We have not done this same analysis for other criterion pollutants, but collecting the data and doing it would be worthwhile." It is an encouraging indication.
Broader pollution is also on the mind of the team at Sure Chill. Although their product – a fridge with a revolutionary cooling process – has a strong "climate change" flavour, due to the dramatically decreased energy usage involved, its invention was also inspired by concerns about the disposal of batteries and their toxic contents. "We recognised that people in Africa were having to use lead acid batteries to cope with power losses," CEO Nigel Saunders recently explained to FPB. "But these batteries don't like high ambient temperatures: they last a couple of years at most and then have to be replaced. In most parts of Africa, there simply aren't appropriate methods of disposing of them properly, so they just go into landfill. That's where we wanted to make a difference."
Yet investors should take care. It seems plausible that companies with an overt environmental mission do tend to be more naturally in tune with broader environmental responsibility than the average firm: at Sure Chill, for instance, 70% of the staff cycle to work. Yet broader commitment cannot be guaranteed. When buying our electric cars, it is important to keep an eye on the (often large) environmental cost beyond fuel usage: the production and transport of all the different materials, the sources of the electricity used to power the vehicle. In the same way, when buying into a "green" firm, we must keep an eye on the wider impact that may be harder to measure.
Saunders summed the problem succinctly: "When running a business, the inclination is always to look towards what is more cheap and efficient. If you purely look to costs and have no conscience, you can do some real damage."
In 2018, let us all look towards the broader damage, and not simply the metrics that investors and marketers find most relevant to their current frameworks.
