Comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as interpreted by the state supreme court in the recent Banning decision. That requires the City, as lead agency, to coordinate and collaborate on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) with other key government agencies now, not later: the Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish & Wildlife Service, California Department of Fish & Wildlife, Sonoma County Regional Parks, and the City's own Site Plan Architectural Review (SPAR) process.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), is a statute that requires state and local agencies to identify the significant environmental impacts of their actions and to avoid or mitigate those impacts, if feasible. Because of CEQA, the City is analyzing the 2017 Draft Environmental Report (DEIR) on the Davidon Development.
The recent unanimous Banning decision by the California Supreme Court states the all affected agencies need to confer before a development receives approval from the City.
We have discovered that the critical 2013 document from California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW) was not considered in preparing the 2017 Davidon DEIR.
As of May 15, 2017, the following agencies have not responded to the Davidon DEIR.
Army Corps of Engineers (ACE)
US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS)
California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW)
Sonoma County Regional Parks
Petaluma's Site Plan & Architectural Review (SPAR)*
* The purpose of SPAR is to secure compliance with the Zoning Ordinance and to promote the orderly and harmonious development of the City of Petaluma.
Carefully review the factual evidence, community standards, potential consequences, and alternatives contained in the public comments submitted on the 2017 DEIR, as well as the 300 comments on the 2013 DEIR that still pertain to this virtually identical housing project.
Many of you wrote comments on the 2013 DEIR. We discovered that none of these comments were considered in preparation of the 2017 DEIR. Therefore, we submitted those comments again. We encouraged you to submit your 2013 comments again plus write 2017 comments.
When reviewing the 2017 housing project, we discovered that the 2013 housing project was virtually identical. Some slight adjustments were made in 2017, however, the public comments were ignored.
Reject the Scott Ranch/Davion 2017 DEIR as incomplete and inadequate. Require updated professional studies and analysis of biological, traffic, hydrology, and other impacts and recirculation of a new, revised DEIR for public comment. These issues cannot just be addressed in the Final EIR. The DEIR is so fundamentally inadequate that CEQA requires the preparation and recirculation of a new revised DEIR.
These are just a couple of the inadequate items that we discovered in reviewing the 2017 DEIR:
Reject Davidon's proposed amendments to Petaluma's 2025 General Plan. The amendments would undermine the City's general plan solely so Davidon could build more houses on this land.
Accept the unanimous recommendation of the City's Planning Commission: there must be no housing units constructed south of Kelly Creek, given the critical wildlife habitat and unstable hillsides there and the extreme difficulties of accomplishing effective mitigation.
Ensure any approved Davidon project is consistent with all Policies in the City's 2025 General Plan. As currently proposed, 35 lots violate General Plan policy mandates. Compliance with the 2025 General Plan would reduce the development footprint from 63 to fewer than 30 housing units. (See attached table and map prepared for Kelly Creek Protection Project.) In the revised DEIR, specify the additional lots that must be eliminated to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by the Project's violations of the General Plan.
With $4 million in charitable funds now available, do not lose the opportunity to negotiate the purchase, at fair market value, of some or all of Davidon's property interests, recognizing the development constraints of this site. The goal is to extend Helen Putnam County Regional Park down to D Street and ensure environmentally-sensitive recreational access.
Tell Davidon the handwriting is on the wall. Encourage them to meet and confer with Kelly Creek Protection Project (KCPP), Petalumans for Responsible Planning (PetRP), the City and the County and to discuss in good faith, as a willing seller, a solution that benefits all parties.
You know what this means!

The Fog of War Reporting
Journalists cry wolf over civil liberties.
Here's a quick way to spot media bias. If the coverage is highly critical of a person or policy but doesn't give specific examples, then it's likely hype. And by that rule, the recent criticism of Attorney General John Ashcroft, military tribunals and an executive branch power grab is just liberal spin.
First let's look at what the media have had to say: After mentioning "secret military tribunals," a national manhunt and plans to "loosen up rules that restrict the FBI from spying on churches and political organizations,"...

Acid rap is a subgenre of hip hop which fuses rock-based beats and lyrics involving subjects such as death, drug use, evil, paranoia and sex. The term was first coined by Detroit rapper Esham, who defined the genre as analogous to "'modern day blues [or] heavy metal'",[1]
Esham has been cited as one of the innovators of the genre,[2][3] and compared his lyrical content to hallucinations induced by LSD.[3] Acid rap has also been described as a fusion of hip hop beats and death metal lyrics,[3] and Esham's music has also been cited as an example of "horrorcore" hip hop.[4]
The hip hop group Inner City Posse adopted the acid rap style as a means of distinguishing themselves stylistically from other hardcore hip hop groups, under the suggestion of member Joseph Bruce, who also gave the group its new name, Insane Clown Posse.[5] According to author Cheryl Lynette Keyes, Esham's "metal sound with a hip-hop feel" formed the musical basis for acts such as Kid Rock, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Everlast, and Kottonmouth Kings.[1]

Continuous-Flow Photochemistry: a need for chemical engineering
Continuous-Flow Photochemistry: a need for chemical engineering - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
1 LGC - Laboratoire de génie chimique 2 James Cook university AUSTRALIA 3 LCC - Laboratoire de chimie de coordination
Abstract : The present paper aims to illustrate that chemical engineering enables to address some of the current challenges and issues in continuous-flow photochemistry. For that, some common limitations encountered in industrial photochemistry are firstly highlighted and a general overview on flow photochemistry equipment is presented. The main challenges linked to photochemical microreactor engineering are subsequently stated. By considering only the case of a purely direct photochemical reactions A->B in homogenous medium, the key factors to consider when implementing such photochemical reactions in microstructured technologies are outlined. Their influence on the outputs conversion, productivity, photonic efficiency of this simple type of photochemical reaction is then discussed. The significance of chemical engineering frameworks is finally demonstrated using several examples concerning the understanding of the coupling between the different phenomena involved, the predictions of the performances obtained, the acquisition of kinetics data and the elaboration of strategies for photochemical process intensification and smart scale-up. In the future, the challenge will be to integrate the complexity of photochemistry e.g. heterogeneous phase reactions into the present modelling tools so as to enlarge the spectrum of strategies devoted to photochemical process intensification.

200 years ago today (1817), Spain was on top of the world. A major rival, England, had just suffered the embarrassing expulsion from its American colonies, whereas Spain was milking its American colonies quite profitably. In fact, at that time Las Vegas, Nevada was part of the Spanish territory of New Spain, although we did not contribute much to the economy.
Within five years, the locals drove the Spaniards back home, and created Mexico. The new government encouraged trade between the northernmost of the old Spanish colonies – Sante Fe, NM and Los Angeles, CA. Las Vegas was an important water stop on what we call today the Old Spanish Trail. Eventually, Washington won Las Vegas in the Mexican-American War in 1848.
It seems like Spaniards have been killing each other over the government ever since. It goes through periods of peace, but those are between some pretty nasty stuff. This morning's Review Journal says they may be about to go at it again.
Here's Wikipedia's entry on the History of Spain.

2,500 US Marines to permanently Occupy Darwin
While Sydney and Melbourne police were violently arresting and dispersing Occupy Sydney and Occupy Melbourne off-shoots of the 99% versus 1% Occupy Wall Street Movement, the cowardly, pro-war, pro-Zionist, neocon and sycophantically pro-US Australian Labor Government was announcing, associated with a visit to Australia of war criminal Obama, an Occupy Australia movement whereby 2,500 child-killing US Marines will be indefinitely based in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, and that there will be increased use of Australia by the US Navy and the US Air Force.
The US Marines are child killers? Yes – the US Marines have spearheaded the post-1990 US War on Muslims that has been associated so far with 6.2 million Muslim under-5 infant deaths in Iraq (2.0 million, 1990-2011), Afghanistan (2.9 million, 2001-2011) and Somalia (1.3 million, 1992-2011), 90% avoidable and due to gross US Alliance violation of various articles of the Geneva Convention.
Decent anti-war Australians are appalled at this cementing of Australian association with genocidal US state terrorism just as the US Alliance is about to leave Iraq (4.6 million war-related deaths, 1990-2011) and is adumbrating withdrawal from Afghanistan (5.6 million war-related deaths, 2001-2011). Yet about 50% of Australians support this permanent Occupation of Australia by child-killing US Marines because of deep-seated, race-based fears of Asian military threats.
For all that Australians vehemently declare that they are not racist, a deep-seated fear of non-Europeans gave rise to the 1901-1974 White Australia Policy that excluded non-Europeans from Australia. Indeed Australia's first Prime Minister Edmund Barton (1901) debating the Commonwealth Immigration Restriction Bill (1901) (the "official" name of the White Australia Policy) stated "The doctrine of the equality of man was never intended to apply to the equality of an Englishman and the Chinaman."
This position was echoed half a century later by the Labor Immigration Minister and later Labor leader Arthur Calwell who offensively joked in a speech to Federal Parliament (1947) "There are many Wongs in the Chinese community, but I have to say - and I am sure that the honorable member for Balaclava [T.W. White, Liberal] will not mind me for doing so - that "two Wongs do not make a White."" [1].
Jump a further 40 years and this is what Australian Federal MP Pauline Hanson (One Nation Party) stated in her maiden speech to the Australian Federal Parliament (1996): "Immigration and multiculturalism are issues that this government is trying to address, but for far too long ordinary Australians have been kept out of any debate by the major parties. I and most Australians want our immigration policy radically reviewed and that of multiculturalism abolished. I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians. Between 1984 and 1995, 40 % of all migrants coming into this country were of Asian origin. They have their own culture and religion, form ghettos and do not assimilate. Of course, I will be called racist but, if I can invite whom I want into my home, then I should have the right to have a say in who comes into my country. A truly multicultural country can never be strong or united. The world is full of failed and tragic examples, ranging from Ireland to Bosnia to Africa and, closer to home, Papua New Guinea.
America and Great Britain are currently paying the price. Arthur Calwell was a great Australian and Labor leader, and it is a pity that there are not men of his stature sitting on the opposition benches today. Arthur Calwell said "Japan, India, Burma, Ceylon and every new African nation are fiercely anti-white and anti-one another. Do we want or need any of these people here? I am one red-blooded Australian who says no and who speaks for 90 % of Australians." I have no hesitation in echoing the words of Arthur Calwell."
The major parties (the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition and Labor, aka collectively known as the Lib-Labs) dissociated themselves from the anti-Asian rhetoric of Pauline Hanson but embarked over the last 15 years in a process of thinly-veiled politically correct racism referred to as "dog-whistling" (saying things that are formally politically correct and non-racist but which have a readily understood racist sub-text). Thus refugees fleeing US and Israeli state terrorism and reaching Australia by boat were stigmatized as "queue jumpers" who were "violating Australia's borders". This cryptic anti-Asian sentiment was reinforced by anti-Arab anti-Semitism and Islamophobic sentiment that became publicly acceptable after the 9/11 atrocity (for which the US is almost certainly responsible) and world-wide US- and Zionist-promoted anti-Muslim bigotry. In the past year the Australian Labor Government tried to outdo the Libs in this dog-whistling racism by the explicit racism of excluding Afghan and Tamil refugees from the protection of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act.
Back in 1907 the then Australian PM Alfred Deakin had invited the US Great White Fleet of 16 white-painted warships to visit Australia during its tour of the world in 1907-1909. Deakin was fearful of the Japanese who had just defeated the Russian Navy. White Australians, living as far from Mother England, were fearful of the Russians well as of the Japanese greeted the US Great White Fleet enthusiastically. PM Alfred Deakin and offered the following opinion: in the usual racist terms (1908): "The visit of the United States fleet is universally popular here, not so much because of our blood affection for the Americans... but because of our distrust of the yellow race in the North Pacific ..." [2].
The so-called "Yellow Peril" (China, Japan, Vietnam, and Indonesia) has become part of Australian language and culture but after the US defeat of the Japanese and Communist accession to power in China the "Yellow Peril" in Australia chiefly referred to the Chinese. Notwithstanding the extraordinary historical propensity of the Chinese to "stay at home" and to not engage in foreign wars, Australia's participation in the Korean War and the Vietnam War was in part justified by the "Domino Theory" applied to the "Yellow Peril" (the notion that they will, like Japan, conquer one country after another and then reach Australia). A new enemy was added after the fall of Soviet Communism, namely the Muslims, and the "threat" from China diminished as it became a major trading partner of Australia. However the US is now trying to ramp up the "China threat".
War is the ultimate expression of racism and Australia participated in all post-1950 US wars, wars that have been associated with about 38 million Asian war-related deaths, these being the sum of violent deaths and non-violent avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation. Thus violent Asian deaths in these post-1950 US Asian wars totaled 13.4 million, the breakdown being 4.2 million (Korea, 1950-1953), 0.1 million (Laos, 1955-1975), 2.0 million (Cambodia, 1965-1980), 4 million (Vietnam, 1960-1975), 1.7 million (Iraq, 1990-2011) and 1.4 million (Afghanistan, 2001-2011). Asian deaths in these post-1950 US Asian wars from war-imposed deprivation totaled 25.0 million, the breakdown being 1.0 million (Korea, 1950-1953), 1.1 million (Laos, 1955-1975), 3.9 million (Cambodia, 1965-1998), 11.9 million (Vietnam, 1960-1975), 2.9 million (Iraq, 1990-2011) and 4.2 million (Afghanistan, 2001-2011).
None of these distant Asian countries posed any threat to Australia and fundamentally Australia only joined in these US wars on the immoral "insurance policy" basis that the US might help us if we were actually threatened by Asian invasion (as in 1941) . Now the "threat" from China has re-emerged because of China's growing economic power at the expense of a debt-crippled United States. On his recent trip to Australia, President Obama justified the basing of massive US forces in Australia as follows: "The United States is a Pacific power and we are here to stay." [3].
Australia is "politically correct" racist (PC racist) because while Australians vehemently deny being racist, Australia has been involved in 24 genocidal atrocities of which 10 are ongoing but almost completely ignored by ignored by Mainstream Australian media, politicians, academics and other public figures. People .in the public eye are mostly very "politically correct" but horribly racist views from the past are implicitly endorsed by putting images of the responsible racists on Australia's currency and naming Australian streets, suburbs and universities after the racists (notably grossly racist PMs Edmund Barton and Alfred Deakin and grossly racist poets Henry Lawson and Banjo Patterson) .
Further, after the US Australia is the world's strongest supporter of race-based, genocidal, war criminal, nuclear terrorist Apartheid Israel (just as it was one of the strongest supporters of Apartheid Israel-backed Apartheid South Africa). Thus official Australian professions of anti-racism simply don't wash when Australia consistently backs US support for Apartheid Israel at the UN; ignores the horrendous reality of the ongoing Palestinian Genocide (7 million Palestinian refugees and 0.1 million violent deaths, and 1.4 million avoidable deaths from war- and occupation-imposed deprivation); initially refused to sign the UN Declaration on Indigenous Rights; repeatedly boycotted the UN Durban I, II and III anti-racism conferences over the issue of world condemnation of genocidal Israeli racism; recently voted against inclusion in UNESCO of Palestine, a country with a civilization as old as the history of Fertile Crescent (see Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel" ) [4]; and while donations to the Jewish National Fund (and hence towards the Palestinian Genocide) are tax deductible in Australia, under Australia's draconian anti-terrorism laws that are anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Islamophobic in practice, humanitarian donations to internally Hamas-administered Gaza could conceivably attract punishment of up to life imprisonment.
The evil, anti-Asian racism of Zionism founder Theodor Herzl in 1896, for example "We should there [Palestine] form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilization as opposed to barbarism", was echoed a few years ago by comments of the Israeli Ambassador to pro-Zionist racist White Australia in 2006: "Israel and Australia are like sisters in Asia. We are in Asia without the characteristics of Asians. We don't have yellow skin and slanted eyes. Asia is basically the yellow race. Australia and Israel are not - we are basically the white race. We are on the western side of Asia and they are on the southeastern side. Israel has not fully acknowledged the value of working together with Australia in Asia. It's a way for us to cooperate with and enhance our position in the countries neighboring Australia." [5].
Decent people abhor racism, abhor war as the ultimate expression of racism, and are horrified by the endless sequence of bloody wars and occupations imposed on the world by US state terrorism in the post-1945 era (for a detailed account read William Blum's "Rogue State" [6] ). It has been estimated that in the period 1950-2005 avoidable deaths from deprivation in countries occupied by the US in the post-1945 era totaled 82 million (see my book "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950" [7]). However US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed opium industry in Afghanistan (a policy designed to get Afghan warlord support and to devastatingly destabilize Iran and Russia) has had the consequences of killing 1.1 million people globally from US-backed Afghan opiates, this including 200,000 Americans, 3,600 Australians and 18,000 Brits. The following letter was sent recently (17 November 2011) to Australian Federal MPs and media but the Silence has been Deafening:
"Dear etc,
According to NSW Health, "In 2006, there were 132 opiate-related deaths in NSW", this translating to 132 x 22 million /7.3 million = 398 annual opiate-related deaths for Australia and 398 x 0.9 x 10 = 3,580 or about 3,600 opiate-related Australian deaths due to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry to 90% of world market share.
According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UN ODC), "the United States saw 38,400 deaths from illicit drug use in 2006, corresponding to a drug-related mortality rate of 182 deaths per one million inhabitants aged 15-64". 60% of these are due to opiates and of opiate-related deaths 90% are due to US restoration of the Taliban-destroyed Afghan opium industry to about 90% of world market share i.e. 0.6 x 0.9 x 38,400 = 20,740 yearly and 207,000 US opiate drug deaths since October 2001 due to US war policy.
Obama has been complicit in the opiate-related deaths of 207,000 Americans and 3,600 Australians and in the war-related deaths of 9 million Muslims so far in the War on Terror (Google Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide). Australia should dissociate itself from US state terrorism.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Gideon Polya (contact details)."
US lackey Australia recently announced during the visit to Australia of US President Obama that 2,500 US Marines will be indefinitely based in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, and that there will be increased use of Australia by the US Navy and the US Air Force. Decent people should be outraged because the US through its support for Afghan opium has killed 3,600 Australians (and 200,000 Americans) since 9/11. Decent anti-war, anti-racism, pro-human rights and pro-environment Australian Labor voters have been utterly betrayed by a pro-war, racist, pro-Zionist, human rights-abusing, pro-coal, pro-gas, neocon Australian Labor Party Government that repeatedly places the interests of nuclear terrorist rogue state like the US and Apartheid Israel before those of Australia. Decent Labor voters will simply vote 1 Green and put Labor last. Around the world decent people are applying Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and its supporters of which the greatest after the US is the genocidal, pro-war, pro-Apartheid Israel state of White Australia.

Volume 2, Issue 11
Lillian Dinklage was a doctoral student of psychology at Harvard University in 1968, when she wrote her dissertation on "Student Decision-Making." In it, she developed a list of eleven strategies that adolescents typically adopted to make decisions. This list grew to be the definitive source for identifying decision-making styles, not just for adolescents, but for all of us when we make personal choices. Nearly forty years later, her typology is still used in countless university and career counselling settings to help individuals identify their decision-making styles and make decisions about their futures.
Ms. Dinklage identified the following decision-making types:
While it may appear that "The Planner" is the best type of decision maker, there are, in fact, other styles that might be appropriate under the right circumstances. For example, being a "Planner" for every decision would not only waste a lot of time, it would also take the fun out of being spontaneous, carefree and "Impulsive." Similarly, when a decision is not as important to us as it is to another, we may choose to be "The Compliant" one. Making a decision prematurely without all the facts might prompt us to be a "Delayer" when necessary. Our "Intuitive" sense might, on occasion, put up red flags that tell us to follow our instincts rather than a pre-determined plan. Even "The Deviant" can play a role in asserting our individuality and gaining our independence. Problems arise, however, when we adopt one style and apply it to most circumstances.
In making decisions about academic programs or careers, we might find ourselves in the following situations. For those of us who like to "Play It Safe," we might consider entering a profession with an abundance of jobs rather than one in which we have some interest. If we have previously chosen a field that we ultimately didn't enjoy we might become "Agonizers" in an effort to avoid making any further mistakes. If we have always relied on experts or authority figures, we might become "Compliants" or "Fatalists," depending on parents, teachers or tarot cards to tell us what to do.
When we engage in career counselling, we enter into a process that encourages us to make more informed and lasting decisions based on gathering information while paying attention to our intuition and feelings. The typical process goes through seven stages:
If you or someone you know is struggling with an academic or career decision and would like some help in reaching an effective conclusion, consider a career counselling process to help you reach it.

Get ready to grab your coffee and concealer ladies as it's Wednesday, the day of the week when, according to new research, us women are bound to look our oldest and feel our worst.
This shocking finding comes after a study carried out by St Tropez, to support the launch of their Gradual Tan Plus Anti-Ageing Face, revealed that one in ten women find Wednesday the most stressful day in a typical week, with two thirds reportedly experiencing a "slump in energy levels" in the mid-afternoon.
As a result, St Tropez has pin-pointed 3.30pm on a Wednesday (the time when a quarter of us reach for a sugary snack to boost mood and energy) as the time of week when women look their oldest.
Nichola Joss, St. Tropez skin expert, said: "Combine the highest stress levels of the week on a Wednesday with the natural mid-afternoon slump and it seems that's why women can look older than their years."
One possible reason for this pattern could be the fact that 46 per cent of women will indulge in a boozy night at the weekend, a treat that puts strain on the body for days while it processes the toxins in alcohol and sugar. Joss explains: "It can take up to 72 hours for the visible effects of alcohol to show, so the effects of drinking on the weekend may not present themselves until Wednesday afternoon."
Another contributing factor might be the back-to-work feeling that can affect quality of sleep earlier in the week, with 37 per cent of women reporting Monday to be their worst night's sleep of the week.
Joss added: "The effects of a lack of sleep can take 48 hours to show on the face, so if many women sleep badly on Monday they will look their oldest on Wednesday."
St Tropez also discovered that most of us aren't getting the adequate amount of sleep to ensure we look our best, with the average British woman getting only six hours and 43 minutes sleep a night. This might sound enough to you, but according to Joss: "For maximum anti-ageing benefits it's essential women get 7 to 8 hours sleep a night. Too little and your skin cells can't rejuvenate, too much can result in puffy, older looking skin."
Wednesday is also, reportedly, the day we are most likely to relax our skincare regimes, with one in ten women admitting to abandoning it completely mid-week. We all know how important it is to look after our skin, but if you need a reminder Joss explains: "Even if a woman doesn't wear make-up, it's essential to cleanse the face of build up from everyday pollution. Letting these build up clogs the skin making it duller and drier, and superficially older."
The good news that came out of this research is that tomorrow (Thursday) is apparently the day of the week we're most likely to get a little, ahem, romance. Never noticed? Well according to Joss "As the mid-week slump passes and stress levels begin to decrease, it's fascinating that Thursday is the evening they [women] are most likely to feel amorous."
And after indulging our amorous sides, women are left with a youthful glow, which might explain why 60 per cent of us say Friday's the happiest day of the week - and we thought it was because we got to dress down. Roll on Friday...

Brand new softcover book! 183 illustrations in b&w and color. ; The Bancroft Library, one of the premier research institutions in the world, was founded in 1859 by Hubert H. Bancroft, a San Francisco bookseller, publisher, and collector. The documents and artifacts he amassed on the American West—from Alaska to Panama—were unsurpassed. In 1906 the University of California acquired the Bancroft collection and now celebrates the centennial of that acquisition. Over the past century, the library has expanded to include the Mark Twain Papers and Project, Tebtunis Papyri, rare books and manuscripts, collections in the History of Science and Technology, and other invaluable resources.
In this celebratory volume, readers are introduced to the day-to-day life of an institution devoted to the collection, preservation, and study of original documents. From an in-depth look at the way material is acquired and conserved to chapters by individual curators summarizing the significance of choice archival objects, the substantive approach is particularly fitting: a handsomely illustrated design completes the tribute to a venerable institution. ; 1.1 x 11.2 x 9.5 Inches; 196 pages; 1893663183

Domestic violence in New Mexico comes in many forms, and usually begins with emotional abuse.
Some examples of emotional abuse are:
Often these examples of emotional abuse lead to physical abuse. The following behaviors may be leading up to physical abuse:
In the book The Battered Woman, Dr. Lenore E. Walker identified cycles in abuse and violence is the domestic setting. The three phases in the cycle are:
Once you recognize the problem and realize that there is a need for change in your life, you must determine whether or not your safety is at risk as you attempt to exercise your right to live free of fear, violence, and intimidation.
Keep in mind that if you decide to leave your home to protect yourself from physical harm, your husband may view your leaving as betrayal or rejection. He may become even more violent as a result. That is why you need to develop your safety plan with outside counsel and guidance. You may even need the help and protection of the police. Do not make your plans alone. Your safety is the most important thing. Listed below are tips to help keep you safe:
You may end up in a situation where you must get out in a hurry. Doing the following will help you if you need to make that quick or unexpected exit:
This may be difficult especially if your partner has isolated you; however, it is important to confide in a domestic violence advocate or hotline counselor who has been trained to help you.
Keep important documents together in a safe place - a domestic violence hotline counselor or advocate can help you decide where. These documents and other necessities could include:
Leave a written set of important phone numbers with a friend or in a secure place that you will be able to access. The list might include numbers for a shelter, domestic violence counselors, your children's school, your friends and/or relatives, people you can call and places you can go in an emergency.

The United States Postal Service board of governors has authorized the agency to issue up to $5 billion of new bonds to replace a similar amount of higher-cost Federal Financing Bank loans.
"This refinancing plan will save the Postal Service and its customers up to $90 million a year in interest payments," Marvin Runyon, the Postmaster General, said.
Before the Postal Service can sell debt to the public, it must notify the Treasury Department. If the Treasury Secretary does not exercise its right to buy the Postal Service securities within 15 days, they may be sold in the credit market.
Jerome Powell, Treasury Under Secretary for Finance, told a Congressional committee two months ago that the Treasury opposed the Postal Service's plan to sell bonds, invest in private financial markets and become a customer of commercial banks.
Morgan Stanley & Company has been designated the underwriter of the Postal Service bonds.Continue reading the main story

Are you a fan of kitschy packaging? Do you find yourself reaching for your velour jumpsuit more often than you'd like to admit? Is your "Recently Played" playlist a combination of Madonna and Britney Spears? Then I have news for you, and I say this as your friend: you might be basic.
The evolution of the word "basic" is an interesting one. What was once an innocent adjective now carries negative connotations of being predictable, unsophisticated, and unnoteworthy. To be called basic is a kiss of death to any aspiring hipster. I'm fairly sure Instagram will even terminate your account if determined to be too basic.
Now, it wouldn't be Nosegasm.com if I didn't somehow tie this seemingly random chain of thought to perfume. I might be a bit shallow myself for making the connection, but when I think of the perfume that every girl in the world seems to gravitate towards at some point in her life it has to be from Juicy Couture. This brand started in the mid 90's as a maternity clothing line, which ended up going supernova after the aforementioned pop stars endorsed it in the early 2000's. They became known for their comfortable yet glam outfits that cost a pretty penny, and in 2006 decided to capitalize on their popularity with a mainstream signature scent. Juicy Couture became an instant success, and with every new instalment since they captured the hearts of suburban teens across America (think of it like the more expensive, feminine Axe).
The problem for Juicy Couture was always, and still very much is, sustainability. You can only throw so many flankers at a customer before she grows out of the girly packaging and sweet scents. This also applies to their seperate clothing line, which has been sold off so many times I can't keep track any longer. The perfumes are currently marketed by Elizabeth Arden, and get discontinued at a frightening pace.
Today I want to talk about three Juicy scents that never got the attention they deserve, otherwise known as the only three I can stand. All three came from FragranceNet.com, which is an online shopping portal for discount perfume and makeup. These fragrances, which retail for upwards of $89 each, can be found on FragranceNet.com for as little as $16 – that's about 82% savings for you. The best part is everything is 100% genuine and backed with a great return policy. Make sure to check them out at the banner links to find your own favourite scents for less.
The first perfume in today's arsenal is Hollywood Royal, introduced in 2015 to provide a "modern twist" to the original scent. I have to admit I was suckered in by the ludicrously cheesy packaging. I mean, come on! Gorgeous, slim glass decorated with gold stars and topped with a glitter galaxy crystal cap. How beautiful! This is what Sweet 16 dreams are made of. The fragrance itself is inspired by Hollywood "it girls," whatever that means. I get a really solid pear note from Hollywood Royal in the top, which mixes perfectly with romantic jasmine in the heart. I was excited for the proposed candy apple and marshmallow base, but all I get is a nice sour/sweet vanilla note. It's girly without being sickening, a really nice "special occasion" perfume for a younger girl, like parties and dates. Perfect as a gift, too, and lasts well.
What's that hiding in the bushes? Why, it's Juicy Couture Malibu! If you're California-dreaming like I am but can't quite justify a boarding pass, this might be the next best thing. Going back to 2013, this one was inspired by Los Angeles's vibrancy. The sense of freedom and glamour is channelled in the advertising, and neon orange palm trees decorate the bottle. Thankfully, the hideous plastic heart around the neck of the flacon pops right off. Malibu opens with a delicious passion fruit, mandarin orange, and watermelon combo that smells like a picnic. It's rather heavy on the tuberose and the musk, which lend it a clean and soapy kind of freshness. I think this one is best suited for cooler weather, and those who are looking for a wearable yet "quiet" perfume.
Finally, who can forget the absolutely brilliant Couture Couture? First brought out in 2009, it's a veteran compared to the last two. It's been there, done that, and got the T-shirt. Couture Couture, with its urn-like bottle and impressive mast of a cap, is possibly my favourite Juicy ever. It opens with almost a straight-up artificial grape juice smell, the kind all the kids from 90's grew up on before GMO's and food dyes became a thing. You get a helping of orange flower in the heart, then smooth sandalwood in the base. It's a fruit-lover's heaven, a delictible perfume in an equally tasty package.
Now I want to know: are you more of a Hollywood, Malibu, or Couture Couture person? I find myself gravitating to the first and the last most of all. What other Juicy Couture scents should I try in the future?

text: Last weekend I taped a scene from The Hours with my friend Nicole, her twin sister, and another friend (who is a beautiful actress). Nicole is doing her MFA at Columbia for directing, and we were all getting some practice managing a set, directing, and acting for the screen. It's just so different! But we spent a few hours discussing the piece, and putting it all together with our own improvised efforts. Kept us busy from noon to sunset on a pretty saturday.

Another lovely day in the sun ☼
I travelled to a place called Eastover today for my step brothers 18th birthday meal. There's something I enjoy (LOVE) about getting ready for a meal, I love putting outfits together for that formal yet unformal event. My inspiration for this outfit came from nowhere, I liked the idea of a statement dress with a pastel blazer but I thought adding edgy old school cloggs would complete the look for casual but smart. I took a few snaps of of what I was wearing for you guys.
Dress = River Island (this season)
Cloggs - Primark
Pastel blazer - H&m
Lace vintage bag = New Look
Midi dresses have such a flowiness to them, these dresses are perfect for a holiday walk or meal in the sunset!
Awkward angles eyy, I heard that's what photographers like...

The tale of a Kazakh horse rider in Moscow18 мая 2011, 19:31
I like drinking with the guys.
It's not that I'm a big drinker: I hardly touch the stuff. At least, that's my story -- and I'm sticking to it.
What I like about drinking with the guys are the funny stories. They wend their way to the surface like Champagne bubbles when alcohol throws inhibitions to the wind.
Take the other night, for instance.
I was having drinks with my Kazakh television-executive friend and one of his best friends at an Astana pub.
These guys swore they'd disembowel me with a shaslyk skewer if I used their real names in a blog, so I'll call the TV guy Timur and his business-executive friend Anvar.
I told the two that I'd written a story about an American cowboy who came to Kazakhstan to run a cattle ranch. The image of a cowboy thundering across the steppe in his trusty steed prompted Anvar to tell a horse story.
A few months before, he said, he'd led a business delegation of five Kazakhs to Moscow for a chance to strike a deal with a Russian company. The six Russian executives they were dealing with – being Russians – took them out for a night of vodka.
At 7 a.m. the very-unsteady group of 11 was walking near a park, trying to clear the fog from their brains.
Suddenly they saw two women leading horses to an area where, a couple of hours hence, the mounts would be used for pony rides for children.
"Look at those horses," one of the inebriated Russians told Anvar. "You Kazakhs are supposed to be hot-shot riders. I dare you to ride that thing."
"I'll not only ride him – I'll ride him all the way back to the hotel," Anvar shot back.
That would be no mean feat, given that the Marriott was a couple of miles away, and Anvar was swaying back and forth without even being in the saddle.
But our hero was determined. He fished in his pocket, gave one of the startled horsewomen $300 worth of rubles, mounted her steed and galloped off to the cheers of the combined Kazakh-Russian business contingent.
A few minutes later a traffic cop spotted a guy in a coat and tie riding a horse down the street. The gendarme's hand went up like he was stopping traffic to let a Vladimir Putin motorcade pass.
Anvar said he had no idea what the cop's problem was.
Maybe the gendarme had spotted a pollution violation – too much exhaust coming from the tailpipe.
In any event, the cop asked why he was riding a horse in downtown Moscow in the early morning while wearing a business suit instead of equestrian garb.
As I was listening to Anvar's story, I was thinking: "Didn't that cop having anything better to do? Everyone knows that the real hazard on Moscow streets are the leggy blonde pedestrians in short skirts who distract the male drivers. They're the ones who should get traffic citations, not Kazakhs who are simply reliving their Ghengis Kahn cavalry heritage."
Somehow Anvar talked the gendarme into letting him go. If I had been in Anvar's stirrups, I would have kicked the horse in the side as I galloped off, hoping for an exhaust burst just below the cop's helmet. But Anvar didn't mention that he'd done that, so I presume it didn't happen.
A few minutes later, the doorman of the Marriott stood in disbelief as our hero trotted up to the front door and dismounted with a flourish that was half swagger and half stagger.
And then our Kazakh friend uttered a line that would have done justice to the ending of a Hollywood movie.
"Park him in a good place," he said, giving the doorman the horse's reins and a 100-ruble tip.
I was enjoying Anvar's story so much that I forgot to ask him an obvious question: Did the Rooskies give you the business deal?
After all, the Russians could have viewed Anvar's horse-riding hutzpah in one of two ways.
On the one hand, they could have said to themselves: "This guy's got true grit. We want a partner like him!"
On the other, they could have thought: "No way we're partnering with a guy who's got more cowboy in him than George W. Bush."
If I had been one of the Russians, I know what I would have done. I would have said to Anvar: "Here's the contract, moi droog. Sign on the dotted line."

Flashback: My first week of university - the start of something new/
This year I will be going into my third year, which makes me realise how time has flown by so quickly! During my past two years at uni I have learnt a lot, and there are quite a few things I wish I knew before I started my first year.
It is completely normal to be nervous or excited during or before the process of moving in to halls for the first time (or a shared house if that's the case)!
Admittedly, I felt both ways. Just know that probably 95% of first years would be feeling the same as it would be completely new to most freshers. Living in halls for first year would probably be the most common/recommended option, as it is a great way for you to make friends!
Packing Guide!
- Kitchenware (cutlery, plates, mugs/glasses, pots & pans)
- Toiletries (essentials like toothbrush, shampoo, etc.)
- Pillow & Bedsheet/Duvet set
- A ring binder or folder (good for any handouts they may give you)
- Stationery
- Electronics/Laptop (some people choose to bring a TV monitor or a desktop computer)
- Room Decor (posters, pictures you could put up to make your room look more homely)
- Clothes
- Entertainment (games console, pack of cards, board game, speakers)
Making Friends
As a naturally shy individual, I worried a lot about whether I would be able to make friends, or how I would even come to do so. When I first moved into halls, my RA (Resident Assistant) was the first person I met when arrived, as she was there to guide me to my room and was very welcoming whilst doing so. I was put into Radnor halls for my first year and not long after I moved in, there was a meeting held in our flat's kitchen. During the meeting, my RA introduced my flatmates and I to other people in our block, briefing us on the rules and other basic information.
It didn't take long for me to realise that everyone in my flat was aged 17, like me. A few days after moving in, a meeting was held for our flat and a few freshers from the other blocks. We were then told that we were all of the known 17 year olds within our halls, then we did the standard icebreaker where we introduced ourselves and what we studied, what we enjoy doing, etc.
There are several ways you could make friends, and most people I know (as well as myself) have done some/all of the following:
- Join a Society
- Attend freshers events
- Socialise with flatmates
- Socialise with course mates
- Attend activities organised by your halls
- Join a freshers group/page on Facebook
The process of enrolling for my course was a little different as I was classed as an International Student. I enrolled by bringing my passport into the university's International Office, along with my given student number (which would be included in some of the emails directed to you from the university). Enrolling was really quick and after doing so, you'd be able to view your timetable online! Additionally, if you've uploaded your photo for your student card, you should be able to collect your card too.
What not to miss?
I'd definitely recommend freshers events, as they are great nights out!
Best of luck on freshers/your first year! (Enjoy it while you can, and before lectures begin!)

Caring Approach
Dr Suri understands that dental treatment can be daunting. Many patients exhibit anxiety and even fear. For this reason she takes time to understand the root cause of their anxiety which in many instances is overcome by her considerate and sympathetic approach that builds a bond of trust between her and the patient. This trust is cemented as the patients are given an opportunity to get to know her and are assured by the belief that her training and skills can deliver their treatment to an exceptional level.
Whatever the treatment she ensures that it is delivered in a way that her patients are comfortable?
Dental treatment should be made as easy a journey as possible and her caring approach is confirmed by the patients that she has treated.
I have nothing but the highest praise for Komal and her team. Apart from the professionalism that one would expect the procedures are carried out with the utmost care and with minimal discomfort
I have nothing but the highest praise for Komal and her team. Apart from the professionalism that one would expect the procedures are carried out with the utmost care and with minimal discomfort
For Life
The result of any dental treatment should be long lasting and predictable. These outcomes can be achieved if treatment is approached in the comprehensive manner adopted by Dr Komal Suri.
Predictable dentistry is achieved in her practice by systematic treatment plans taking into account patient needs, correct evidence based techniques and materials and working with equally skilled technicians.
The preservation and maintenance of her patient's oral health is of paramount importance at her practice. To achieve this Dr Suri formulates a maintenance plan specific to each patient so that they can continue to smile with confidence.
I am not only extremely satisfied with my completed work but also the high-level of after-care that I receive, nothing is too much trouble..

Faria, Glenn

Genre: rock
Rating: 3 stars ***
Title: Glenn Faria
Company: Tiger Lily
Catalog: TL
Country/State: Washington, DC
Grade (cover/record): VG+ / VG+
Comments: --
Available: 1
Catalog ID: 135
Price: $500.00
So this is one of the rarer releases on Morris Levy's infamous Tiger Lily tax scam label. I've seen two copies in the thirty years I've been collecting - one fairly trashed. That said, for anyone who doesn't want to invest a couple of paychecks to buy a copy of the rare and expensive original album, the collection's become easier to locate and much more affordable thanks to Wolfgang Reuther's World In Sound label which reissued the album in CD format (World In Sound catalog number WIS 1007).
Shadoks catalog 061
As a tax scam release, there isn't a great deal of information to be found on 1976's "Glenn Faria" (curiously, the inner label showed his name as Glen (one 'n'). Production and songwriting were credited to Eric Nathinson who'd worked with a bunch of lesser know '60s sunshine pop acts including Boffalongo, And that's about it for hardcore biographical information - no performance credits, or any additional data. I can add that Faria was born and raised in Washington, D.C. and his professional career started as a member of Headstone Circus which saw a wonderful posthumous album released by the Shadoks label. Anyhow, that absence of biographical detail leaves lots of room for speculation. Against that backdrop I'd guess that these tracks were recorded in the early-1970s after the break-up of Headstone Circus. Most of the eight songs reflect a slightly raw and under-produced feeling, leaving the impression they were probably early demos originally intended for some sort of Faria solo project. Musically the collection was split between barebones singer/songwriter numbers like 'Summer's Gone' and 'Centuries To Live' and full band rockers like 'Born In Georgia' and 'Reason To Live'. While far from perfect, there was plenty to like on the album; including Faria's gruff, but likeable voice and his taunt, snarling lead guitar. Too my ears he occasionally recalled a young Stephen Stills without the penchant for Latin touches. How the LP ended up in Morris Levy's hands is a mystery to me.
- 'Born In Georgia' started the album off with a slinky blues-rocker that would have made The Allman Brothers proud. Kicked along by some tasty wha-wha guitar and Faria's gruff, rustic, but imminently likeable voice, this was a wonderful way to start off an album. One of the best songs on the album !!! rating: **** stars
- A pretty acoustic blues number (Faria with acoustic guitar and a ouch of organ), 'Summer's Gone' sounded like an early demo that had never been completed. The pretty melody and the multi-tracked vocals were simply gorgeous. Artists like John Denver and Dan Fogelberg would have killed for something as good as this one. rating: *** stars
- Backed by a full electric arrangement, 'Reason To Live' still sounded like a demo, but actually benefited from the slightly raw, under-produced sound. Imagine a good Stephen Stills composition on the first CSN&Y album and you'd have a feel for what this rocker sounded like. Extra points for the snarling lead guitar. rating: **** stars
- 'Centuries To Live' found Faria returning to singer/songwriter mode. Pretty acoustic number that should appeal to Neil Young fans. rating: *** stars
- Kicked along by Latin percussion and Faria's snarling lead guitar, the mid-tempo rocker 'Feast Your Eyes' provided another album highlight. Easy to see it having garnered commercial attention with a bit of publicity. rating: **** stars
- Normally acoustic ballads don't do a great deal for me, but as exemplified by 'Love Is Calling', the combination of Faria's voice and earnestness strikes a chord with me. Not sure why, but it almost sounded like the song was edited to extend the playing time ... rating: *** star
- As you've probably figured out, as much as I like Faria's acoustic stuff, I'm an even bigger fan of his full-band arrangements and 'No Time for Your Tears' is no exception to the rule. Sporting another dark, slightly, ominous melody, this was the kind of stuff that Stephen Still would have loved to churn out. rating: **** star
- A straightforward acoustic blues number, 'I'm Crazy' was probably the least impressive song on the album. Just Faria and acoustic guitar, I'll give him credit for turning in a dark, ominous, and slightly disturbing performance (might have something to do with the way he snarled out the lyric "you're young now, but won't be young for long ..."). rating: ** star
- The album's most commercial and radio-friendly performance, 'Reach Out To a Strange' would have made a dandy top-40 song. A great melody with a breezy vocal, great hook, and a cool sax made this one a major treasure. Shame nobody ever heard it. rating: **** star
Farina" track listing:
1.) Born
In Georgia (Eric Nathinson) -
2.) No Time for Your Tears (Eric Nathinson) -
3.) I'm Crazy (Eric Nathinson) -
4.) Reach Out To a Stranger (Eric Nathinson) -
Faria's still alive, but seemingly retired from the music business. I believe he still lives in the Washington, D.C. area, but is apparently rather protective of his privacy so I've never made any attempt to track him down.
As mentioned above, the World In Sound label reissued the LP (though I have no idea if it was done with Faria's approval and cooperation). The reissue package included seven bonus tracks:
I'm Crazy (original demo)
I Can't Take It
