Wayne Tully
Wayne Tully, CEO of National Driver Training Institute, is a national expert on driver education and training. He authored the nation's first "published" graduated driver licensing curriculum, Help for the Teenager Who Wants to Drive.
Sold throughout the United States and three other countries, Wayne's program has served a guideline across the U.S., aiding lawmakers who wish to write teen driving laws. Wayne's most recent work, The Last Chance Program, was approved for use in Colorado in February 2008 and is now very first adult driver improvement program that includes on the road assessment.
Because of his experience and knowledge, Wayne is frequently asked to educate lawmakers across the nation about parental involvement in the driver education process. He continues to testify in state legislatures on improving the results of GDL and parent participation for driver education. He has co-authored, supplied witnesses, and/or financially supported a change in driver education and training laws in 28 states. Each of those 28 states carries a victory for parents and teens. In 2004, Wayne was one of 28 people chosen from around the world to address the National Traffic Safety Board in Washington, D.C., on the effectiveness of parents' involvement in driver education.
Wayne Tully earned his driver education and training degree and certification from the University of New Mexico. He has completed several high level teacher training programs through the National Safety Council and National Traffic Safety Institute.
His programs have been approved through the Department of Education in Virginia, the Department of Public Safety in Texas, Driver Education Compliance in Colorado, the Department of Education in Colorado, the Traffic Safety Bureau in New Mexico, Department of Public Safety in Oklahoma, State of California and a number of other states.
Wayne lives in Monument Colorado with his wife (and junior-high school sweetheart) Jody. They have three children and one grandchild.

1/28/2010 (10:15 PM EST): Driver's Education—Part 1: Mapping out the route
Teaching driver's education at home can seem like a daunting prospect—but it doesn't have to be. When Texas became the first state to approve of parent-taught driver education and training in 1996, it set a precedent for what is, today, a recommended strategy for producing safe teenage drivers. As parents, your input in your child's education is invaluable, and driver's education is no exception. Join Wayne and find out how to help your child stay safe and drive well. He'll discuss why it's essential to use a curriculum for driver's education and how to choose a good training program, as well as the principles and practices of safe driving.

For the recently completed office space for the Parisian team of an international data security company, we embarked on the design and fabrication of a series of custom furniture pieces. The office, situated in La Defense, was designed by Pliskin Architecture and Atelier 208, and the furniture was fabricated by AMC at their facility in Brittany.
The first custom furniture piece visitors encounter is the office's reception desk, a combination of steel structure and end-grain wood surface, with the company's logo carved out of the vertical steel spine. Set against an exposed brick wall, salvaged theater seating, and metal drum stools, the oak desk and bright orange supports create a visual focal point for people as they exist the elevators on the floor.
We also created a series of work benches unique to the space. With felt covered acoustic partitions that double as tack boards, the light oak tops and concealed cable management solutions create design that is both striking and functional.
Centrally located in the office, the pantry acts as a activity hub for the office, and to support that, we crafted two large communal gathering opportunities: a 3-tiered stepped seating area, and communal table that allows both table-height and bar-height seating, encouraging employees to use it in various ways.

Plan for app authentication in SharePoint Server
Applies to: SharePoint 2013, SharePoint Foundation 2013, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016
Topic Last Modified: 2017-06-27
Summary: Learn how to plan for app authentication in SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint Server 2016.
App authentication is the validation of an external app for SharePoint's identity and the authorization of both the app and an associated user when the app requests access to a secured SharePoint resource. App authentication occurs when an external component of a SharePoint Store app or an App Catalog app, such as a web server that is located on the intranet or the Internet, attempts to access a secured SharePoint resource. For example, an app for SharePoint that includes a component that runs in Microsoft Azure is an external app. App authentication enables a new set of functionality and scenarios that can be achieved by allowing apps to include data from SharePoint resources in the results that the app processes and displays for users.
To provide the requested resources from an app for SharePoint, the server that runs SharePoint Server must do the following:
Verify that the requesting app is trusted.
To authenticate the requesting app, you must configure the server that runs SharePoint Server to trust the app that is sending it requests. This is a one-way trust relationship.
Verify that the type of access that the app is requesting is authorized.
To authorize the access, SharePoint Server relies on the set of app permissions, which was specified in the app manifest file when it was installed, and the permissions that are associated with the user on whose behalf the app is acting. SharePoint Server also relies on the permissions that were granted to the SPAppPrincipal when the trust was established by using the Set-SPAppPrincipalPermission PowerShell cmdlet.
Note that app authentication in SharePoint Server is separate from user authentication and is not used as a sign-in authentication protocol by SharePoint users. App authentication uses the Open Authorization (OAuth) 2.0 protocol and does not add to the set of user authentication or sign-on protocols, such as WS-Federation. There are no new user authentication protocols in SharePoint Server. App authentication and OAuth do not appear in the list of identity providers.
In this article:
Provide incoming access from external applications hosted on the Internet
Planning for app authentication consists of the following tasks:
Identify the set of trust relationships that you have to configure on a farm that runs SharePoint Server that correspond to the external apps that will be making requests for SharePoint resources.
Provide incoming access from external applications that the Internet hosts.
|The web applications that include app authentication endpoints (for incoming requests by apps for SharePoint) must be configured to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). You can configure OAuth in SharePoint Server so that it does not require SSL. However, we recommend this only for evaluation, for ease of configuration or to create an app development environment.
|You only have to plan for app authentication on a SharePoint farm if you are using one or more external apps for SharePoint that require its resources.
You must configure the SharePoint farm to trust the access tokens that correspond to resource requests that the following types of external apps send:
Provider-hosted apps run on their own servers on the Internet or your intranet, are registered with Microsoft Azure, and use ACS to obtain the access token.
For provider-hosted apps, you must configure the SharePoint farm to trust the ACS instance of the provider-hosted app.
For more information about provider-hosted apps, see (OLD) Overview of apps for SharePoint 2016.
High-trust apps run on stand-alone servers on your intranet and use a signing certificate to digitally sign the access tokens that the app generates.
High-trust apps use the server-to-server protocol to request resources on behalf of a user. For high-trust apps, configure the SharePoint farm with the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) metadata endpoint of the server that hosts the app. Or, you can manually configure the trust. For more information, see Configure app authentication in SharePoint Server
For more information about high-trust apps, see How to: Create high-trust apps for SharePoint 2013 using the server-to-server protocol.
An on-premises app is either a provider-hosted app that is hosted on an on-premises server or a SharePoint hosted app. Table 1 lists the different authentication user methods of SharePoint Server and whether that method can be used for SharePoint Server on-premises apps.
Table 1. User authentication methods and support by on-premises apps
|Authentication method
|Supported by SharePoint hosted apps
|Supported by Provider hosted apps
Yes, but only when it is configured to use NTLM as a fallback authentication method. Kerberos-only is not supported.
Forms-based authentication using the default ASP.NET provider
Forms-based authentication using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) authentication
Yes, if the identity provider supports wildcard return uniform resource locator (URL) registration and honors the wreply parameter. .
To configure SharePoint Server to use the wreply parameter, use the following commands at a Microsoft PowerShell command prompt:
$p = Get-SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer $p.UseWReplyParameter = $true $p.Update()
For more information about user authentication methods in SharePoint Server, see Plan for user authentication methods in SharePoint Server.
If external provider-hosted apps are located on the Internet, you have to configure a reverse web proxy to perform app authentication and request resources from intranet SharePoint farms. A configured reverse web proxy at the edge of your network has to allow incoming HTTP over SSL (HTTPS) connections from the apps to your SharePoint farms. You typically identify the HTTPS-based URLs that the external applications will access and configure the reverse proxy to publish those URLs and provide the appropriate security.
High-trust apps generate their own access tokens, which include an assertion of the identity of the user on whose behalf they are acting. The server that runs SharePoint Server and services the incoming resource request must be able to resolve the request to a specific SharePoint user, a process known as rehydrating the user's identity. Note that this differs from app authentication for provider-hosted apps, in which the user is identified, but not asserted.
To rehydrate a user's identity, a server that runs SharePoint Server takes the claims from the incoming access token and resolves it to a specific SharePoint user. By default, SharePoint Server uses the built-in User Profile service application as the identity resolver.
The key user attributes for user identity rehydration are as follows:
The Windows Security Identifier (SID)
The Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) user principal name (UPN)
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) address
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) address
Therefore, the app must include at least one of these user attributes and that attribute must be current in user profiles. We recommend a periodic synchronization from identity stores to the User Profile service application.
Furthermore, SharePoint Server expects only one entry in the User Profile service application for a given lookup query that is based on one or more of these four attributes. Otherwise, it returns an error condition that multiple user profiles were found. Therefore, you should delete obsolete user profiles in the User Profile service application periodically to avoid multiple user profiles.
If a user profile exists for a user and the relevant group memberships are not synchronized, access may be denied when the user is supposed to be granted access for a given resource. Therefore, make sure that group memberships are synchronized with the User Profile service application.

LSF-SMT Push-in PCB Terminals
Product Announcement from Weidmuller
Designed to reduce wiring time by up to 50% compared with leaf-spring terminals, the LSF-SMT push-in direct connection terminals provide a safe and reliable connection for a wide range of applications, including SMT/THR (Through Hole Reflow), and are in full compliance with ROHS regulations.
These new terminals feature a spring-action release button in the direction of the wire connection that opens the clamp for inserting flexible wires. Solid core wires, once stripped of insulation, are simply inserted into the terminal point until it hits the stop - no tools are required to make the connection.
The LSF-SMT push-in direct connection system is based on the pressure spring principle; the spring for the wire connection is in a separate cage. This design reliably separates the mechanical and electrical functions, and provides greater wire retention. The pressure spring is protected by a stop that restricts spring excursion, while the cable entry design prevents incorrect insertion of the wire. The push-in direction connection technology ensures a reliable, vibration-resistant and gas-tight connection.
The LSF-SMT terminals are equipped with two soldering pins that provide a reliable connection to the printed circuit board. Users have a choice of 1.5mm or 3.5mm pin lengths. The contact and soldering zone surfaces of the pins are made from pure tin. For lead-free soldering applications, they comply with Class IV specification in accordance with DIN 45598: 260ºC - 280ºC for soldering alloys SnAg and SnCu.
In addition, the LSF-SMT push-in terminals are made from Liquid Crystal Polymer with fiberglass reinforcement, and are heat-resistant and halogen-free. This provides dimensional stability, making them ideal for use in reflow and wave soldering processes.
Weidmuller's new LSF-SMT terminals are available in 3.5/3.81, 5.00/5.08 and 7.50/7.62 mm pitches, with horizontal (90º), vertical (180º), and 135º wire entry angles. Poles range from 2 to 8 or 24 poles (3.5/3.81mm). They are available in tape-on-reel packaging for ease-of-use in SMT reflow soldering processes.

Community service for sacked Kiskeam ex-garda
A FORMER Kiskeam Garda - who passed on confidential information and illegally held a single barrel shot gun in his Meath home - has been ordered to carry out community service in lieu of a jail term.
Daniel Tarrant (51) of Doon, Kiskeam accessed confidential information on the garda system to give to retail security firms who were clients of his partner.
Earlier this year, Mr Tarrant pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to three charges of disclosing personal data without the prior authority of the Data Controller between December 23, 2008 and July 16, 2009.
He also pleaded guilty to illegally possessing a single barrel shotgun on October 9, 2009 at Cluain Ri, Ashbourne, Co Meath.
Judge Mary Ellen Ring, who had previously adjourned the case having heard evidence, noted a probation report before the court had assessed Tarrant as being suitable for community service. She ordered that he carry out 200 hours in lieu of two years in prison and gave him 12 months to complete that.
Judge Ring noted that under the Data Protection Act, only monetary penalties are available to the court. She ordered that Tarrant pay over €1,000 to be divided amongst St Vincent De Paul, The Capuchin Day Centre and The Father Peter McVerry Trust.
Det Sgt Murphy told Colm O Briain BL, prosecuting, at the initial hearing that Tarrant explained the gun was a family heirloom he inherited after his father's death and he never bothered to register the firearm.
Gardai began investigating Tarrant's mobile phone records after a tip-off from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation in November 2011 about data protection breaches.
The detective said Tarrant, who had been stationed at Finglas Garda Station, was dismissed after 27 years in the force following the investigation. He is entitled to a pension but he won't have access to it until he is 60 years old.
The information he accessed from PULSE records related to a security firm's business competitor on one occasion and on another it was personal details of a known shop lifter.
Det Gda Murphy agreed with Dominic McGinn SC, defending, that he was satisfied there was no criminal context in Tarrant's offences.
Mr McGinn submitted that Tarrant is now on Jobseekers Allowance and volunteers at a radio station, having picked up some radio broadcasting qualifications since his dismissal.
He said his client acted out of "misguided loyalty" to his partner and asked Judge Ring to recognise that Tarrant has already been punished through losing his career and good character. "He was doing it through altruistic motives", submitted Mr McGinn, adding that his client's garda career had been "his whole life."

Things to think about
Before viewing
Think about the last time it rained. Where did puddles form? Why do they form in that area?
On the land rain collects in lakes and dams. Why do farmers have dams on their properties?
As you view
Notice the many ways that water is used on a farm. What are some different places you see water being stored? How is water moved around the farm?
Native animals may be affected by farms but how might they also benefit from farms?
After viewing
Of all the ways that farmers use water, what do you think is the most important? Why do you think this?
What might happen to dams and water holes if it doesn't rain for a long time? What could the farmer do if this happens? What are some things a farmer could do to make the water supply last longer?
Next steps
Create a device to capture rain water. What could you use to capture the water as it falls? How can you store it? Draw your ideas and ask an adult to help you make it. Measure how much rain you collect.
If you collect water from your roof and store it in a water tank, keep a record of how you use the water over a week.
NARRATOR:Rain fills up some places, just like you fill up a bath with water from taps. Watch how the water level goes up in these places after lots of wet weather. In some places, like on farms, people need to store rain to use later on.GIRL:We have dams on our farm to store the rain. The animals drink from them.NARRATOR:What would happen if there wasn't much rain to fill up dams and waterholes?GIRL:We also have lots of rainwater tanks on our farm. Rain falls on the shed's roof, then runs down the gutters and pipes into the tanks. We use rainwater for lots of things.NARRATOR:Do you have a rainwater tank at home? It's a good way to store water, especially if you live somewhere that doesn't get much rain.

The Austrian philosopher of science Karl Popper, who emigrated to New Zealand in the late 1930s (when he was in his late 30s) and then to London, had flirted with Communism in his youth. Actually, he more than flirted with it, although it was a whirlwind romance that lasted only a few months, came to a bad end, and had a profound effect on his life and his thinking thereafter:
[Popper] remembers that, although he was obviously dissatisfied with the society of its times, he was uneasy because the party obviously promoted a kind of murderous instinct against class-enemies: he was told, however, that this was necessary and that, in any case, it was not meant too seriously; also that in a revolution only victory can serve; and finally that under capitalism there are every day more victims than in the entire revolution. Popper notes that he agreed reluctantly, with the feeling that he had to pay a high price regarding his morality. Something similar happened regarding lies, as the leaders sometimes said one day white and the following day black; this would happen whenever they received a telegram from Moscow with the corresponding indications. When Popper protested, he was told that those contradictions were necessary and should not be criticized, as the unity of the party was essential for the triumph of revolution: although it was possible to commit mistakes, it was not allowed to criticize them openly, because only the discipline of the party could carry a fast victory. Popper remembers again that, although he reluctantly accepted this, he felt that he was sacrificing his personal integrity to the party, and that, when he realized that the leaders were disposed to contradict themselves at any moment, his attitude towards communism suffered a crisis
This is familiar, isn't it? The slavish devotion to the Party over all, including rationality, was required. Young as he was at the time (age 17), Popper had trouble believing that 2 + 2 = 5, even when the Party demanded it.
The incident that was Popper's turning point was a demonstration organized by the Communists, in which he took part and where quite a few people were killed by the police. He later wrote:
"I felt that as a Marxist I bore part of the responsibility for the tragedy -at least in principle. Marxist theory demands that the class struggle be intensified, in order to speed up the coming of socialism…"
…[T]he people dead, at least some of them, were young workers: Popper thought that other people who, like himself, were students or intellectuals, had special responsibility for those workers, who relied on the intellectuals. The other is that, as he said many years later, he had approved of the demonstration because it was supported by the communist party; he perhaps had even encouraged the participation of other people; and perhaps some of them were among the dead.
He was also upset by the attitude of the communist leaders. He asked himself whether he had discussed seriously and critically the Marxist theory which served as the basis for the sacrifice of human lives, and he recognized that he had not done it. However, when he arrived at the headquarters of the communist party, he realized that the leaders had an entirely different attitude: revolution made unavoidable the existence of such a type of victims, and furthermore this meant a kind of progress because workers would become every time more angry against the police and so they would become more and more aware of their real class-enemies. Popper's reaction was clear: he never returned there, and this way, as he commented later, he escaped the Marxist trap…
…[H]e described it in his autobiography this way:
"I was shocked to have to admit to myself that not only had I accepted a complex theory somewhat uncritically, but I had also actually noticed quite a bit that was wrong, in the theory as well as in the practice of communism, but had repressed this -partly out of loyalty to "the cause", and partly because there is a mechanism of getting oneself more and more deeply involved: once one has sacrificed one's intellectual conscience over a minor point one does not wish to give up too easily; one wishes to justify the self-sacrifice by convincing oneself of the fundamental goodness of the cause, which is seen to outweigh any little moral or intellectual compromise that may be required. With every such moral or intellectual sacrifice one gets more deeply involved. One becomes ready to back one's moral or intellectual investments in the cause with further investments. It is like being eager to throw good money after bad. I also saw how this mechanism had been working in my case, and I was horrified."
I don't think I've come across a better description of the thought process of one type of person who is often attracted to leftism: the idealist. Popper, a supremely rational man, also hated war and was attracted to what he perceived as the pacifism of the Communists (they weren't really pacifists, but he didn't know that at the time). For a while, then, as a teenaged activist, his desire to believe he was joining in a good cause trumped his rationality and his ethics, but soon both asserted themselves because they were so strong within him.
But it's easy to see how other idealists, less rational and less ethical, could keep going for a long time in the Communist cause. And of course idealists are not the only people attracted to the left—there's an entire group, among them usually the leaders, who are attracted not in spite of the cruelty and power but because of it.
The experience formed the basis of what became Popper's life work:
This sufficed to make of Popper a fallibilist, strongly suspicious of pseudo-scientific creeds: the Marxist pseudo-scientific prediction of a necessary course of history was very dangerous, and the first condition that Popper would require in the future to any allegedly scientific theory was that it should be held with an attitude of intellectual modesty, namely an attitude that recognizes the magnitude of our ignorance and never forgets that our theories are always tentative and partial trials to progress. Scientific certainty had showed itself deceptive and should be replaced by an attitude of learning through our unavoidable mistakes. Now, mistakes would begin to be considered not as an evil, but as the way which prepares real progress.

Fans of the Rocky Horror Picture Show turned out in drag and other costumes at the Palace Cinema, Devizes.
More than 100 people attended Tuesday night's Devizes Festival screening of the film, with three-quarters of them dressed up.
Organiser Margaret Bryant said: "We had local people, but also people from Swindon, Essex and London.
"The festival likes to reach out to the whole community and have things on that appeal to everybody. It's about making use of the cinema and getting a different audience to those who might go to some classical events."
Festival committee member Jane Scorer said: "All the events are proving popular. We had a good evening with Andy McNab.
"The Cafe Scientifique talk [last night] and 4 Girls 4 Harps [tonight] are sold out.

I have a report (.rdlc file). I want it to have some live checkboxes NOT images. I have implemented image idea in another report. But in this report, I need live checkboxes that can be clicked just like actual checkboxes.
If anyone have any idea, please do share that how to insert clickable checkboxes in SSRS. I'll be thankful to him/her.
I have nothing to do with those checkboxes i.e. I don't have to perform any operation against those checkboxes. I just have to display them so that user can check his desired options and leave the other blank.</div>

as far as i know, you cannot have clickable checkboxes in your report body. if you find one please let me know :)

By generally, there is no checkbox control in Reporting Service, however there is a workaround, just create two images, then set image control's value dynamically.

Last week, we offered up some Green Bay Packers trivia to make sure you were the most interesting (or obnoxious) guy in the room at your Super Bowl party. Today, we bring you a few facts you may not have known about the Steelers. Unless, of course, you're currently sporting a Franco Harris jersey while wearing a Terrible Towel like a lobster bib. In which case, you probably already knew this.
- The Steelers were founded by Art Rooney in July of 1933. Originally, they were called the Pirates like the baseball team, which was a common practice at the time.
- The team became the Steelers in 1940, but the name did undergo some minor changes for a brief time. During World War II, there was a serious player shortage, so the Steelers merged with the Philadelphia Eagles and became the "Steagles" for the 1943 season. The following year, they merged with the Chicago Cardinals and went by "Card-Pitt."
- The familiar three diamond logo was added to the team's helmets in 1962. This unique insignia, technically known as a hypocycloid, is the trademark of the American Iron and Steel Institute.
- This logo only appears on one side of the helmets. Why? Nobody knows. They are the only team in the NFL that does this.
- Unlike most professional sports teams, the Steelers do not regularly retire player numbers. Only defensive tackle Ernie Stautner's # 70 has been officially retired, but the numbers of legendary Steelers like Joe Greene, Mel Blount and Terry Bradshaw have not been reused.
- Cal Hubbard, an offensive tackle for the team during the late '20s and early '30s, is the only man to belong to both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Baseball Hall of Fame. Considered one of the great tackles of all time, he became a baseball umpire after his gridiron career ended and created the four-man umpire system.
- A few famous faces have been associated with the Steelers, including former Supreme Court Justice Byron White and, believe it or not, "Married with Children's" Ed O'Neill. TV's Al Bundy was signed by the team in 1969, but was cut during training camp.
- The team's famous "Terrible Towels" were created by the late Myron Cope. The voice of the Steelers, the sportscaster was tasked with coming up with a gimmick by his bosses to create interest in his broadcasts. Although he was against the idea at first, Cope's rally towels went on to be mimicked by countless other teams and have raised millions of dollars for charities.

Get Involved
Ten Ways to Get Involved at Grace Church
1. Hang Around after the Worship Service
Perhaps the quickest way to begin connecting with the life of Grace Church is to stay for the fellowship hour that occurs each Sunday following the 9 am and 11 am services. After the 11 am service on Sundays, numerous people gather in Tuttle Hall for coffee, tea, pastries, and the opportunity to visit informally with each other. Sometimes it takes great courage to venture into a crowd of people whom you don't know. But remember that we are always delighted to meet you!
2. Check out one of the Adult Education classes
On most Sundays from September through June we offer the Sunday Forum at 10 am in the Reception Room. The Sunday Forum strives to address the questions that you are asking about life, death, God, and what it means to be a Christian in the world today. With invited speakers, discussion forums, and use of the various arts we have engaged such topics Science and Religion, Politics and Religion, Terrorism and Reconciliation, Understanding the Trinity, and various issues of social, ethical, and Biblical concern. We always leave time for questions, so come and participate or just listen. See more about Adult Education. See the Sunday bulletin announcements or Epistle e-news for upcoming events. Want to subscribe to the Epistle e-news? Contact the Jennifer Metz, Parish Administrator.
3. Inquire about the "small group" ministry
In January 2011, a ministry of small group Bible studies began. Groups meet at the church following the Wednesday, 6pm Eucharist. For more information, contact the Rector, Don Waring or by phone at 212 254-2000 x127.
4. Sign on for an outreach project
The Outreach Committee strives to alleviate some of the human suffering we find in the community and world. We have taken several trips to New Orleans to work on recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina, and we have recently begun working with the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia. We regularly engage in projects that are local, accessible, and measurable. Contact the Rev. Martha Korienek or by phone at 212 254-2000 x114 for more information.
You can also check out The GO Project – a joint outreach effort between Grace Church and Grace Church School. GO offers tutoring and a full range of social services to at-risk, public school children and their families. Here is an excellent avenue for making a difference in a young life. For more information take a look at the website http://www.goprojectnyc.org/ or contact Olivia Nunez or by phone at 212 533-3744.
5. Become an Open Door Greeter
Grace Church is truly one of the glories of New York City architecture. Throughout the year visitors and tourists come through our doors to appreciate the richly carved woodworking, stone, and stained glass. Many others are simply seeking a quiet place for prayer and meditation. One of our most important missions is keeping the Broadway doors of the church open as much as possible. A dedicated corps of parish volunteers serve as welcoming, friendly greeters to those who enter. You don't need to be an expert on architecture or the Episcopal Church. It's an easy way to become familiar with the church and meet lots of interesting people. For more information contact the Rev. Martha Korienek or by phone at 212 254-2000 x114.
6. Help out with Children's Ministries
Grace Church offers many opportunities throughout the year designed to help children see and name the love of God at work in their lives. Church School meets every Sunday for grades K through 4 from September through June. Young people assist in the worship services as acolytes. The Christmas Pageant and the Easter Eve walk seek to engage children with the story of our faith. Please contact us at 212 254-2000 x113.
Families with children might also wish to explore the Choir of Men and Boys and the Girls Choir for their sons and daughters. Currently, 75 choristers sing in these two choirs. Membership is open to boys and girls, aged 8-14, from any school. Contact the Choirmaster, Patrick Allen.
7. Join the Parish Choir
On Sundays at the 9 am Eucharist a group of parish volunteers comprise a vested choir that sings from September through June. Membership is open to any adult or teen with a desire to sing. No auditions necessary. Rehearsals are on Sunday mornings. For more information contact the Choirmaster, Patrick Allen or by phone at 212 254-2000 x110.
8. Take on a role in the worship services
Each week a number of dedicated parishioners lend their time and talent to help make our worship services run smoothly. Ushers, Acolytes, Altar Guild members, Lay Readers, and Chalice Bearers all perform vital roles in our weekly worship services. For more information contact the Rector.
9. Make an effort to attend special events
Throughout the year we host special events that celebrate the liturgical seasons and draw us together in fellowship. These events are usually multigenerational, and go by such names as: Advent Wreath-making, Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, 1st Century Agape Dinner, Church School Picnic, Sunday Evensongs, and others. Don't let these opportunities for getting involved pass. See the Sunday bulletin announcements or Epistle e-news for upcoming events. Want to subscribe to the Epistle e-news? Contact Jennifer Metz, the Parish Administrator.
10. Join a Committee
A busy network of committees is essential to advance the work of Grace Church. We have ongoing committees overseeing the work of: Archives, Hospitality, Outreach, Children & Youth, Finance and Audit, Investments, Fabric and Grounds, Adult Education. We also have committees that form to fulfill a specific purpose, and then disband when the work is done. For more information about serving on a committee, contact the Rector.
New Members/Membership/Joining Grace
The best way to explore Grace Church is to attend one of our services and then talk to one of the priests; we're very approachable, and will do our best to answer any questions you might have about Grace Church or the larger Episcopal Church.
To get you started, though, here are some newcomer FAQs:
I noticed that Grace Church is part of the "Episcopal Church." What does that mean?
The Episcopal Church is the American branch of the Church of England, a church that grew out of the 16th century Reformation. It is part of the larger "Anglican Communion" – that is, a communion of churches all over the world that also stem from the Church of England. The term "Episcopal derives from "episcopos," meaning "bishop," and basically means that it is a church with bishops.
Is the Episcopal Church Catholic or Protestant?
Yes! The English reformers and their successors tended to avoid falling into either category, preferring instead to straddle what would eventually be coined as the "middle way" – a way that sought to retain the best elements of the Catholic and the Protestant traditions. As you get to know the Episcopal Church, you will notice elements of both branches of Christendom in our worship, our theology, and our polity.
On a more practical note, what is a Sunday service like at Grace?
Our services follow the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer, a beautiful book containing some of the finest prose in the English language. The Sunday 9 a.m. worship is Holy Communion (or "Eucharist") and sermon. It's a lovely mix between the formal and informal, and we're finished before 10 a.m. so that all may participate in our Adult education hour (The Sunday Forum). A number of young families have been choosing the 9am service lately, and we love the energy that the children bring. The 11 a.m. service is usually Morning Prayer (Holy Communion on the 1st and 5th Sundays), with full choir and sermon. During the sermon we offer a children's message in the Chantry chapel geared more for our younger worshippers. The 6 p.m. Sunday Eucharist takes place in the Chantry. The service includes a full sermon and robust hymn singing, with music provided by a variety of instrumentalists. At all services it should go without saying, but still people ask: there is no dress code! Come as you choose.
If I am not a "member" at Grace Church, or even of the broader Episcopal Church, may I take communion?
Communion in the Episcopal Church does require that you be a baptized Christian. If you are not baptized and would like to be, please contact one of the clergy and we will work toward preparing you for the very next baptism service. In the meantime, feel free to come forward and receive a blessing at the time the bread and wine of Communion are administered. Also the Morning Prayer service on Sundays at 11 a.m. does not include Communion, so this may be a good service for you while you are making up your mind.
I have heard that children take communion in the Episcopal Church, too; is this true?
Children who are baptized do take communion in our church, and we encourage them to start receiving it as soon as they express a desire to do so. We talk to children about the meaning of communion during "Family Communion" lessons taught by our priests.
I want to get to know more about the Episcopal Church; are there classes I can take?
Yes. We offer newcomer class on a regular basis where we cover some of the basics of the Episcopal Church: worship, history, and theology. The course is both substantive and relaxed, and provides a great way to get to know fellow newcomers and the priests at Grace. If you're interested in attending, see the Sunday bulletin announcements or Epistle e-news for upcoming classes. Want to subscribe to the Epistle e-news? Contact Jennifer Metz, the Parish Administrator.
What do I need to do if I want to become an official "member" of Grace Church"?
Members of Grace Church are those who work, pray, and give for the spread of God's kingdom through this household of faith. We volunteer our time to keep the ministries going and reach out into the city, we are faithful in attending the worship service of our choice, and we make an annual financial pledge. If you'd like to be on the rolls of membership at Grace Church, the easiest place to start is to contact one of the clergy.
What if I have never been baptized?
If you have never been baptized and think you might be interested, please don't hesitate to call one of the priests; we would love to sit down and talk with you.
I am not sure about membership but may I be on your mailing list?
Of course. The best way to stay apprised of parish events is to subscribe to the Epistle e-news. Contact Jennifer Metz, the Parish Administrator.
I belong to another Episcopal Church, but for various reasons may be interested in making Grace Church my regular church home. What should I do?
If you have records of your baptism and confirmation at another church, call and ask them to 'transfer' your records over to us. To make it easier, you can contact Contact Jennifer Metz, in the Parish office or call 212-254-2000 ext. 100 and tell her the name of your old church, and she will make arrangements for your records to be transferred over to Grace Church.
Do you have activities for children at Grace Church?
Yes we do. View our Children's Ministry page. You can also contact Chase Danford, our Assistant Rector for Youth and Family Ministries, or call 212-254-2000 ext 113.

With the US mid-term elections only 6 days away, polls are showing that republicans are favored to pick up seven senate seats in the election. That would give them at least a 52-48 majority in the US senate, more than enough to shift all the senate committees and their chairpersonships over to republican control.
Worse things have happened, such as when a Mars-sized asteroid collided with the Earth 4.5 billion years ago (or 6000 years ago if you a fanatical religious evangelical wingnut). Yet, there was a benefit to Earth: the moon formed from the debris and helped to stabilize the Earth's environment, allowing life to develop. But if the republicans end up controlling both houses of congress, it's hard to fathom any benefit to America, unless one is a millionaire or billionaire, or a large corporation.
All might not be lost IF the democrats can manage to win at least three or four of the most contested senate races, such as Colorado, New Mexico, New Hampshire and a couple others. It's still possible, since the national democratic strategists have for quite some time been formulating a "get out the vote" campaign.
But if that campaign fails (and it may, due to democratic voter apathy and less than stellar independent voter support for democrats), then Obama is going to have to contend with the most hostile congress in over 80 years.
The GOP will claim they won a huge mandate (by having a one- or two-vote majority in the senate..Whoop-de-f**king DOO!!). And the republican senate will no doubt attempt to pass all those incredibly stupid, short-sighted, billionaire-industrialist-friendly, middle-class-and-environment-UNfriendly conservative bills that the House will send up to them, including the nine-hundred and forty-seventh attempt to repeal Obamacare.
If the democrats can learn ANYTHING from the minority senate GOP over the past six years, it should how to emulate the massively excessive GOP use of the filibuster in the senate to block legislation. And add to that the GOP's keeping their extremist fringes in line long enough to vote as a block. After all, the minority republican senate filibustered and blocked more legislation in the past six years than all previous years of the existence of the USA COMBINED.
Additionally, if the dems lose the senate, they should study and adopt the political tactics that the republicans relied upon to foment unwarranted fear and hatred in the low-information voters, who constitute more than half of all people casting ballots. These are, for example, folks on food stamps who hate government social safety net (a.k.a. "giveway") programs, people earning minimum wage who believe the corporations and industrialist billionaires will take care of them, those who want the government to keep its hands off their Medicare, folks who truly believe their God will make them rich, and the people who think that the health insurances companies really care about their health.
They are the same people who are too lazy and/or too stupid to do their own online research to find the truth, because they believe that computers are ONLY useful for buying stuff, playing games and secretly looking for porn…and maybe some email if they can someday figure out the difference between voice-mail and email.
After all, how else can one explain how and why the poorest, most rural, least educated, and most religious states in this country, such as Alabama and Mississippi, are solidly red?
The minority democrats must also ALWAYS blame EVERYTHING on the republican congress….if gas prices go up, if a commercial jet goes down, if there is a terrorist attack anywhere in the world, if the tomato you bought yesterday has a worm in it…EVERYTHING.
Additionally, they must loudly and repeatedly claim that the republican congressionals are leading the country down the same path as that which the Nazi party took Germany down prior to World War 2; every time a republican even sneezes, the dems should be warning about the ruin and death being brought to the USA by the republican majority in both houses of congress by spreading disease through targeted, purposeful, virus-loaded sneezing.
And finally, even though the economy may continue to improve (largely because of initiatives of the Obama administration), the democrats must repeat loudly and often that the economy is getting worse, that most people are starving, that the record stock market is smoke and mirrors, and that the republican congress is sucking the life-blood out of the nation like so many crazed zombie vampires.
If the democrats can implement a political program such as this one (invented by republican strategists), they will sweep the 2016 elections and send the GOP running for the hills (where they can continue inbreeding).
Of course, it's a very large "IF". After all, democrats like facts and logic and reason while republicans like myth, innuendo, fear, hatred, and religion in government. But to paraphrase both Popeye the Sailor Man and Neil Armstrong:
"Ya gots to do what ya gots to do"…for the good of all humankind. 🙂

Ladies and gentlemen: there is nothing more patriotic, in my mind, than eating barbecue food on Independence Day. There is just something about July 4th that is forever intertwined with barbecue food for me, possibly from years at various summer camps where this tradition was always reinforced. When I am looking for excellent barbecue food these days, there are a few options in New York City which are noteworthy; the best choice for me is Dinosaur BBQ. This Harlem institution is packed every night, but the wait is always worth it:
Dinosaur BBQ
700 W. 125th Street
New York, NY
4.25 stars
In order to write this review, I visited Dinosaur on two consecutive Mondays, one of which was July 4th. My impressions represent my collective thoughts for both dining experiences. The first thing I noticed at Dinosaur was that there was a great deal of ambient noise around me, partially due to the size of the dinner crowd and the music playing at a slightly elevated level. However, the staff couldn't have been any more friendly despite the fact that the service was slow on both occasions. The scent of great barbecue is in the air from the minute that you walk in and things only get better. I found the vibe to be quite relaxed; people seemed laid back and even the staff appeared to be informal and in high spirits. With all of that being said, I know that all of my great readers really have only one question in mind at this point: How was the food? Thanks for asking!
I started each meal with an appetizer of barbecued chicken wings. These are probably the best wings in New York City, the barbecue sauce just permeates throughout the entire wing while the outside still remains crispy and this combination of texture and flavor is outstanding. I wouldn't call the portion of chicken wings generous; compared to other restaurants it's fairly standard but entirely worth it. Dinosaur has a great deal of options for your entrée, from chicken to catfish even to Korean ribs. However, my favorite is always one of their great samplers. On my first visit, I tried the traditional sampler, and I was blown away: one quarter chicken, a quarter rack of ribs, and a few slices of BBQ brisket, plus sides of macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes and cornbread all included in the price!! In terms of the meat, I will rank each one from worst to best:
3. BBQ chicken: At another restaurant or diner, this chicken would have hit the spot, but it didn't suffice here. The skin was liberally rubbed with barbecue seasoning, and there was an ample amount of sauce on the chicken. When I diagnosed the problem, I realized that the inside of the chicken was still dry and lacked seasoning. The chef was not able to make this chicken moist and flavorful on the inside in the same way as the great chicken wings. 3 stars
2. From here, the food only gets better, and it was a very difficult call to determine which meat was second best. This award goes to the ribs, which are probably some of the best ribs I have devoured in New York City. The first thing I noticed was how tender they were; they seemed to be literally falling off the bone (but not in a strange way). The flavor was outstanding: the barbecue sauce had a nice kick of spice without being overwhelming and the entire portion of ribs was filled with the same flavors as my first bite. These are a must: 4.5 stars
1. Dear readers: Some of you might be unaware that I am Jewish, and one of our yearly holidays is Passover. (I'll skip the religious portion and get right down to the food) My mother makes an extremely delicious brisket every year for this holiday, with a secret combination of wine, seasoning, and vegetables. This is the only brisket I ever really enjoyed and I never order it outside of my home. What is my point you might be asking? Dinosaur BBQ changed all of that. The concept of barbecued brisket seemed foreign to me when I first tried it, but I soon started to love it: Dinosaur barbecues their brisket for 14 hours (yes, really, 14 hours), and then slices it. The result is a moist, flavorful, tender slice of sweet and spicy brisket which is mind blowing if they cook it right. (During my first trip this month, I found the brisket to be overly fatty, so I asked for it to be lean next time and… perfection!) 5 stars
For my second meal at Dinosaur, I ordered the tres hombres sampler: this is similar to the traditional sampler except that it substitutes pulled pork for the chicken. I have never ordered pulled pork before, although I have tasted it when one of my friends ordered it. At Dinosaur, they take pork shoulder and barbecue it for 12 hours and then shred it into chunks. I was picturing long thin shreds of pork, but I really enjoyed the tiny morsels: they were tender, flavorful, and the barbecue sauce really held on to them. 4 stars
The sides at Dinosaur are always good and high quality, but I am starting to wonder if it's really worth eating them. The size of the entrée portions is rather large and I always wonder why I get full so quickly. Blame it on the mac and cheese! In any case, the macaroni and cheese never disappoints: a personal mini tub of a casserole of gooey macaroni and cheese. I have tried several sides and most of them are tasty, but I am thinking that in the future I will concentrate more on the entrée and order lighter sides like vegetables or succotash.
Random notes: the cornbread is fine but nothing to write home about, the sweet tea is authentic (I should know) and necessary, desserts are appear to be delicious although I still have not tasted their chocolate ice box cake. If I have not convinced you by now to try Dinosaur BBQ for yourself, then there is something wrong with me or this review because my goal was to articulate and share my experience with all of you. This great city offers so many options for tasting food from different parts of the world, and for great barbecue food, Dinosaur is the place to be. Until next time, stay classy world!
Dinosaur BBQ: revisited… twice!

These No-Bake Paleo Blueberry Muffin Protein Bars are a healthy, easy and delicious on-the-go snack! They only require a few ingredients and taste like Blueberry Muffins!
Can we all agree on two things? 1). How hard it is to turn on your oven when it's hot as lava outside and 2). Blueberry muffins!!!!
Starting with statement number 1, since it's August, aka hot and humid on the east coast, the A.C is the first thing I want to turn on and the oven is the last thing I want to turn on. Am I right? With that in mind, I'm sharing a no-bake recipe with y'all today 🙂
Secondly, number 2. My love for blueberry muffins has never faded away. In fact, it's become stronger than ever., which brings me to these BLUEBERRY MUFFIN PROTEIN BARS.
Does you guys remember these No-Bake S'mores Protein Bars I made awhile back? They were my first no-bake protein bar recipe I ever made with Vital Proteins. They came out so good that I decided to use the same base, but obviously with a different flavor.
For those of you who have never tried collagen, you need to. Taking collagen can help support bone and joint health, healthy hair, skin, and nails, and digestion. Both Rachel and I started using collagen religiously a few months ago, and have seen many benefits! For this recipe, I used Vital Protein's Vanilla Collagen Peptides to add extra sweetness.
Have you ever tried the blueberry muffin Quest bars? I'd say that these homemade bars are better, but I maybe a little biased. For one thing, they don't have the artificial aftertaste like Quest bars because they're made with whole ingredients.
Here is what ya need:
Vital Protein vanilla collagen peptides
almond flour
almond butter
maple syrup
freeze-dried blueberries

The Vancouver Canucks played host to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday evening at Rogers Arena. The Canucks coming off a strong showing against Nashville on Thursday night wanted to keep the momentum up in the push for the playoffs. Sporting their new look uniforms honoring the 1915 Stanley Cup champion Vancouver Millionaires.
Vancouver got off to the best possible start with Alexandre Burrows scoring six seconds into the opening period. The lead was a short lived one for the Canucks as Justin Abdelkader tied the game up 6:08 into the first period. Despite out shooting the Red Wings 16-6 the teams went in tied at one.
David Booth was injured late in the first period and did not return with a lower leg injury. Detroit, which started the season 0-for-37 on the power play on the road before scoring the last two games, failed to convert a lengthy 5-on-3 midway through the second period. The Red Wings even surrendered a shorthanded breakaway to Burrows, the first Canuck out of the box, but he lost the puck as Datsyuk closed from behind, and Detroit finally converted its third power play at 13:57 for a 2-1 lead.
Things went downhill in the third period for the Canucks with the Red Wings scoring three times in the third period to open up a 5-1 lead. Burrows scored his second of the game with only two minutes remaining it was little to late for Vancouver. The Canucks take on Minnesota on Monday at Rogers Arena.

S&P500 Spiral Calendar Chart For August 26th, 2016
The one spiral cluster came 2 days prior to the all time high in the S&P 500 on August 15, 2016. The upcoming spiral clusters in September occur 2 days before the eclipses and would be ideal turning points for any sharp decline that may develop. However we are still too near the recent high for any major decline – in Elliott Wave terms any decline would probably be a wave 1 or wave A.

The next spiral cluster for Nasdaq-100 occurs on the September 16th eclipse day.

Silvia Bianco became a professional chef when she opened her restaurant, Biscotti, in 1993. After receiving an MBA in marketing from Pace University in NYC and working in the corporate world for a number of years, she discovered that she found it challenging and lucrative but ultimately unfulfilling. Putting her trust in a Force higher than herself to guide her to the means to use her gifts and talents in a way that would bring joy to her self and others, she left the corporate world and landed in the kitchen.
It was like coming home. The kitchen was where she grew up. It was in her grandmother's kitchen where intuition first played with creating the foods of her native Italy and later in her restaurant kitchen where the inspired recipes of her imagination, both culinary and otherwise, found a receptive outlet. Her restaurant, Biscotti, in Ridgefield, CT, quickly became a local favorite, winning a Zagat's "Award of Distinction" year after year.
In addition to the delights of the palette she offered every day to the appreciative and expanding clientele of her restaurant, she insisted on feeding them her thoughts on food and life -communicated through her "Notes From the Chef", inserted into the menus. This often resulted in more than a few chuckles since her 'notes' are always a page long. So, she had to write a book.
Her first book, Simply Sauté, filled with stories, humor, insights and hints, show the home cook how to prepare restaurant quality meals at home, all in a single pan, in 30 minutes or less. The only in depth book on sauté in the country, it was published by Marlowe & Company, in December of 2003 and was received enthusiastically by critics, reviewers and readers everywhere.
More than a chef, Silvia Bianco sees herself as a teacher. In her highly acclaimed cooking and dining classes, she teaches the practical skills involved in cooking and blends them effortlessly with her passion for nourishment in its broadest sense---serving up recipes that delight our senses, ideas that inspire our imagination and insights that comfort our spirit, all while dining on multi-course meals. She is enthusiastically sought after for public appearances where she cooks for and entertains crowds with her humorous and profound stories while passing around tantalizing tastings.
This desire to teach will unfold more dramatically in the months and years ahead as Chef Silvia puts the energy that she once devoted to running her restaurant into other projects and venues. Biscotti closed after 10 years—due to leasing issues—In the same month that Simply Sauté hit the stores. Coincidence? No, serendipitous, she says.
Chef Silvia continues to give cooking classes to children, adults and corporate clients, writes a regular food column for The Italian Tribune and appears regularly on TV, including The Weekend Today Show, and radio shows nationally. She has done cooking demos and classes for clients such as The Gap, Williams Sonoma, AIW, Expo Design Center and Kitchen Aid and been a featured chef at the James Beard House. Currently, she is co-authoring her next book, with her 20 year old daughter, Teresa, using the working title, "Simply Real Food—Cooking and Dining for a Fast Food Generation" (a cookbook for teens, young adults and other beginning cooks) and working on a TV series based on the book. The Chef, turned writer, speaker, teacher has much more to give and say so stay posted.
She lives in Connecticut with her teenage son, dogs and a cat.

Joy of Christmas
- Artist: Tiffany Meier
- Genre: Country
- Release Date: 12/21/2004
'The Joy of Christmas' is Tiffany's follow-up to her debut album, 'A Dream From the Heart.' Tiffany's vocal styling speaks volumes about her as an artist. From her fun-loving yodel in 'Santa's Yodeling Song' to her sweet and simple, yet emotion-filled rendition of the Christmas classic, 'O Holy Night,' this album promises not to disappoint. The album includes songs focused on the true meaning of Christmas, along with songs that are simply joyful, easygoing, and fun. This album is truly one of a kind, and is a 'must have' in your Christmas album collection. Tiffany Meier, a Fargo, North Dakota native, has been singing for as long as she can remember. As a youngster, any spare moment she had was spent in song. Her Eastern North Dakota upbringing provided the perfect balance of country life and city life. This combination allowed Tiffany to enjoy the subtleties of life, while simultaneously having the opportunity to follow her dream. Tiffany began performing in public at age four, when she performed in a local pageant talent competition. Since then, she has gone on to grace the stages of county and state fairs, area pageants, conferences, and festivals. Tiffany is also noted for her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, which has been described as none other than 'spine-tingling.' Though Tiffany focuses on country music, she enjoys listening to music of all kinds, and entertaining in a variety of venues. She draws from several musical influences to further inhance her own singing style. In 2002, Tiffany released her debut album, 'A Dream From the Heart.' In December of 2004, Tiffany released her second album, 'The Joy of Christmas.' Since age four, Tiffany Meier has traveled many miles and sang many songs, and loved every minute of it! Her stage presence and pure vocal talent make the perfect combination in performance. Her comfort level is at it's peak when she has a microphone in hand and she is standing on stage performing.

Georgia Family Lawyer Highlights Article on Divorce and Children
As a Georgia family lawyer, I have seen my fair share of courtroom battles. The saddest of these place the children of the marriage squarely in the middle. A recent news article explains how parents can avoid doing that. The article emphasizes that parents should remember:
- They will be connected forever. Parents must stay in touch with one another as co-parents and then as co-grandparents.
- They must maintain boundaries between adult problems and children. Children should be allowed to remain unburdened by adult problems. Children lack the coping skills and intellectual ability to understand adult concerns. They also must process their own feelings regarding the divorce.
- They must make transitions smoothly. Children get stressed when they are shuffled from home to home. Transitions should be brief and respectful. Children should not be asked to relay messages back and forth.
- They must be flexible. Parents must cooperate. Life changes, and parents should be mature enough to make some adaptations when necessary.
- They should deliver solid parenting. The quality of parenting can suffer during a divorce. A parent might be more focused on issues related to the divorce and on adjusting to a new phase in life. Parents should try to be the best parents they can be.
Our Marietta, Georgia family law firm handles both litigated and collaborative divorces. Contact the Georgia family law attorneys at Georgia Family Law: Worrall Law LLC for more information. You may reach us by calling 770.425.6060 or by filling out an online contact form.

Minnesota the Next State to Go "No Rights at Work"?
The war on workers just keeps on coming. The next state facing a so-called "right to work" law, which would defund labor unions by allowing workers to access the protections of the union without paying fair representation costs, appears to be Minnesota.
Today, as the state Senate Judiciary Committee debated and passed the bill with a 7-6 vote, commentators from the state evoked Madison's massive pro-labor protests when writing about the response from the people. "'Just vote no!' and 'Hey, hey, ho, ho, attacks on workers have to go!' echoed through the Capitol corridors Monday morning as an estimated 1,000 members and friends of labor unions chanted their disdain. . ." wrote one, at the Star Tribune; another, at the Pioneer Press, noted "Hundreds of unionized workers filled the Minnesota Capitol today, preparing for battle as a proposed constitutional amendment that would make it harder for unions to organize gets its first legislative hearing.
It is unclear whether the bill will actually pass. Despite a current Republican majority, the bill didn't even make it out of committee with all the Republicans on board, and according to the Woodbury Bulletin, even business leaders aren't thrilled:
While Republicans often enjoy support from business leaders, even those organizations are not jumping on board. Jim Pumarlo, a spokesman for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, said the organization will not take a stance on right to work.
David Ross, president the Duluth Chamber of Commerce, said his organization also has not officially weighed in. But he acknowledged in an interview that he has concerns about whether passing the bill is worth the rancor it likely would cause, at least based on similar measures discussed recently in Wisconsin, Indiana and other states.
"I'm not seeing tangible illustration of much upside in the middle of the tumult," Ross said.
The Uptake provided live streaming video throughout the hearings--you can watch the pro-union testimony below.

Take a look at your camera roll and it's a safe bet that there are hundreds if not thousands of photos on there that do nothing but, well, sit there. Facebook says that 2 billion photos are shared daily on Facebook, and InfoTrends previously estimated that 1 trillion photos were taken in 2015.
Of course images are being shared all over social media, but there are so many other things that we can do with them — besides just printing them out and turning them into photo books. In the gallery above, we've rounded up 15 of the most creative ways to preserve your precious memories.
1. Recently App
The Recently app turns photos from your camera roll (only available iOS for now) into a physical print 8x11" magazine that you receive on a monthly basis. You can include either 50 or 100 photos in each issue and along with copies for yourself, you can also send issues to other family members. Thank you to Sam Murray from CheapContractPhones.org.uk for tipping us off about this app!
2. A wooden keepsake box
Artifact Uprising prints photos onto beautiful beetle pine boxes that you can use to store anything meaningful. The wood grain subtly enhances each photo, memorializing your keepsakes in a special way. ($95)
3. A dry-erase board
MagneticPix turns photos into custom dry-erase boards, which are perfect in the kitchen for any busy household. The metal canvas features any image you choose and can serve both as display art and a handy way to communicate reminders, notes and doodles. (Prices start at $99)
4. Customized shower curtain
Shutterfly's customizable shower curtains let you bring any memory into the bath with you. Printed onto 70x70" woven polyester, the printed shower curtain adds both fun and whimsy to any bathroom décor. ($79.99)
5. A serving tray
One of Shutterfly's newer photo products is this customizable serving tray, made from durable and waterproof Lucite. This can be used in many ways, including as a holding place for personal items in a bedroom, or of course, as an essential for weekend breakfasts in bed. ($35.99)
6. A cushy pillow
Speaking of bed, there's no better way to drift off to dreamland than with a soft pillow made using a photo of a favorite memory. These custom 18x18" pillows by SnapBox are a wonderfully comfy way to display a cherished photo. ($41.99)
7. A Rubik's Cube
A Rubik's Cube may be difficult to crack, but Personalization Mall makes it easy to create your own toy with personal images to stump even the fastest cuber in your family. Or, you can simply use it to proudly display six photos in a different way. Just remember that once you turn, there's no turning back. ($28.95)
8. A memory game
Speaking of games, this memory exercise from Pinhole Press requires you to stay sharp with your family members, whether it's mom or Great Aunt Edna. You decide who to include in your 12 matches (photos) to pair. Mix the cards around and let the games begin. ($29.99)
9. Piece of jewelry
With this sentimental photo jewelry from Zazzle, you can wear your favorite memories as a necklace, bracelet or earrings. The designs let the photos speak for themselves and add more meaning to your accessorizing. (Prices vary)
10. A photo night light
Turn any photo into a beautiful night lamp that casts a soothing glow. Light Affection takes each print and carves the imagery onto a durable material that transfers light, which is then placed into the frame. You can select a plug-in night light or an illuminated frame to give a nice touch to any room. (Prices start at $44.95)
