"Going Green" is a positive trend in American business today. Companies across the country are becoming more aware of their "carbon footprint" and are taking action to leave a less-destructive mark on the planet. It may seem difficult to make positive changes, but for us, when the digital x-ray came along, we knew we had an opportunity to allow this new technology to make a change for the better.
At the office of Dr. Barry Franzen, dental implant specialist, we want to protect the planet as much as the next person, which is why we decided to "go green" as well, by incorporating digital x-rays into our practice. Now, we can better serve you, and better serve our planet.
The Benefits to Your Health
While the Earth is benefitting from the transition, the most important contribution that digital x-rays have made is to you, the patient. Digital x-rays give us access to more detailed information about your oral health. They can detect periodontal disease, cavities, and other potential problems. We can detect the problems earlier than any time in history, even compared to very recently. The sooner we can make our diagnosis, the sooner we are able to treat you and the sooner you are able to get on with your life.
Digital x-rays offer even more incentives. If you are concerned with radiation exposure – and if you've gone through chemotherapy in the past – you can rest assured knowing that digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation exposure by 70-80%! This is great news for you and us, as we are around this equipment every day.
Additionally, digital x-rays are easier to share between dentists and physicians. Whether we need the second opinion of a specialist, set up a consultation, or even to transfer the images to another office so you can receive treatment we are unable to provide, digital imaging allows us to do this. Without a doubt, the images will reach their destination without a glitch and in the exact condition in which we sent them.
The Benefits to Our Planet
The benefits that digital x-rays offer to the planet are two-fold. First, digital imaging does not require lengthy chemical processing like film does, and therefore, utilizes less chemical waste, and second, digital imaging allows us to share our findings via the internet instead of fax or mail – both of which require paper.
Going green is an expanding trend in our country and one we are glad to be participating in. Dentistry has found its niche within this new era, and it's here to stay. If digital x-rays can save lives, time, and the planet, what's not to love? Get on board for change and visithttps://www.milwaukeedentalimplants.com/digital-xrays.html to see more about how our technology serves you and the world.

More engagement at work…what are you waiting for?
The recent WSJ.com article "More Workers Start to Quit" states that "in February the number of employees voluntarily quitting surpassed the number being fired or discharged for the first time since October 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics." The article also indicates that the number of employees quitting could continue to grow in the coming months. Apparently, people were waiting to see more jobs show up as possibilities before they made a move. Makes sense. In fact, 60% of workers said they intended to leave their jobs when the market got betterRead More »
Developing More Emotional Intelligence
We have been conditioned to believe that IQ is the best measure of human potential. In the last decade, however, researchers have found that this isn't necessarily the case. In actuality, your emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) might be a greater predictor of success. What is Emotional Intelligence? Emotional Intelligence – EQ – is a relatively recent behavioral model, rising to prominence with Daniel Goleman's 1995 Book called 'Emotional Intelligence'. There are many definitions for Emotional Intelligence and its meaning is constantly evolving. However, at its most basic level: Emotional Intelligence is the ability to manageRead More »

voice training
music analysis
folk songs
I am Éva Óvari. I loved music even as a small child. Until the age of 18 my life was about classical music. I played the piano for 8 years and the violin for 12. I was a singer in the Children's Choir of the Hungarian Radio and later in the Angelica Girls' Choir of Városmajori Gimnázium. I graduated from the ELTE Teaching and Nursery Teaching Faculty as a nursery teacher in 2008.
Since 1999 I have been working as a background singer on many Hungarian productions. Among others I have worked with Péter Gerendás, Andrea Szulák and Pierrot. I featured in Gemini, Illés, Metro, Omega concerts as well as in "Man and Woman" (Férfi és N?) by László Dés. I have been working with Bárió Auguszt for 6 years and with Zorán for 10.
I met Hajnal in 1999. She taught me to express the soul and to not be afraid of dreaming and to be free.
I learnt a method that gives strength and power, that makes you understand that you are capable of anything and nothing is impossible. This is a rare and precious thing. I have worked as a trainer with Hajnal since 2004.
I am Rita Fóris. My musical education started when I was 6 years old. This is when I started playing the piano and the violin. From 1994- 1998 I was studying at the piano faculty of the Batók Béla Conservatory, Budapest. I graduated as a piano teacher and chamber orchestra player in the Liszt Ferenc Music Academy's Teacher Training Faculty.
I met Hajnal Magyar a few years ago, and her completely different, complex approach to singing opened up new horizons for me. Now as a teacher here I can say I am very lucky to be representing this method and this school. I am using all my experience in singing, playing the piano, and my knowledge of musical analysis to help my students improve themselves.
My name is Ildikó Kedl. I started playing the cello when I was 9 years old, and at the age of 12 I entered into the prep school of the Liszt Ferenc Music Academy in Szeged. After this I attended the Liszt Ferenc Music Academy in Budapest, from where I graduated as a cello artist in 1991.
As a singer I started performing with the band Tea, and then as the solo singer of Outsiders Big Band, with whom I performed at many concerts, TV and radio shows. Later I was recording with Iván Folk, Friderika and NO. I have been a member of the BPA Gospel Team since 2002.
I met Hajnal and started attending this amazing school 3 years ago. I can say that since this meeting unsuspected opportunities opened up for me in singing. I am very grateful to Hajnal for revealing this wonderfully exciting and colourful method. I feel honoured that as a trainer I am part of this great project, whose aim is to show singers the joy of 'singing as speaking'.
I am Attila Fóris. I started playing the violin when I was 8 years old. At the age of 14 I decided I wanted to have a closer relationship with music and I went to the Dohnányi Ern? Music High School in Veszprém. After this I went to the Liszt Ferenc Music Academy, where I graduated as a music teacher and chamber orchestra player. During these years singing was always a major part of my studies.
I have been part of many different singing performances, trying out and experiencing various styles. For the past 9 years I have been a member of István Gyárfás's BPA Gospel Team.
I was a student of Hajnal Magyar's school for 3 years. This really changed my ideas about singing, both in theory and in practice. Her method was a real break-through for me, I experienced its impact on my own skin, so I can genuinely pass all of this knowledge on. I believe that this method is going to be the solution for many singers, as it has been for me.
scream technique
rock singing
I am Bálint Bokodi. I started my music studies at the Szent László elementary school in K?bánya, then I went on to Árpád Vezér High School in Sárospatak, where I was a member of the school choir. I learnt to play the violin at the K?banya Füzér Street Music School for 6 years, and later I continued in the Farkas Ferenc Art Foundation School's violin and drum faculty for 4 years in Sárospatak. It was here that I got into rock music and metal. In 2003 I was the singer of the band Gloaming. Now I sing in the bands The Ministers and Slipchaos. After 2 years of singing I had to realize that in this genre it is not enough to 'just sing well'. I felt that my untrained voice is going to give up sooner or later. I started training with Hajnal at the beginning of 2005 and I learnt a method that swept away all obstacles I had, both in my mind and physically. My aim is to pass this knowledge on to those who are fighting the same battle.

Oscar Diversity: The WIN – WIN!!! A Funky Prophecy
Last night was a historical one for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). Headed by Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the first African-American to hold the position, diversity was exemplary at the Oscars. Hosted by the Fabulous Ellen DeGeneres, the list of winners and nominees was multi-cultural as well as valid, in that they made poignant statements regarding sexual; age; gender; class; and racial discrimination. This was the best thing about the winners and nominees of this year's ceremony.
Thousands marched on Washington this past weekend to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. The actual date that the speech was rendered, is today. My niece Leighana was among the multitude, where Reverend Al Sharpton, the NAACP's Ben Jealous, and King's eldest son, Martin Luther King III, spoke. Here's a shot of my niece below, who continued a tradition her mother and I participated in when Stevie Wonder campaigned for King's birthday, to be declared a national holiday. Apart from a few words from King III, I'll let the esteemed Dr. King do the rest.
The FUNKIEST moment is being there, in the moment, not recording it. I watched Oprah Winfrey's address to Harvard University online last night. One being able to have the opportunity to hear a person of her caliber, success and expertise in a private setting speak, is rare. When moments like this occur, you should really be in tune and focused, not recording it.
The FUNK of the Past is Ever Present: Words from MLK
How we live, as well as history, shows that we as a people have made tremendous strides. What's incredible and extremely unfortunate, is that with all our "progress", so many things are still the same. I was watching Bill Moyer on PBS, and he sited an excerpt of a speech by Martin Luther King. It's uncanny how we've moved forward, but not nearly enough, and in some instances not at all.

Consistent ConsistencyPosted: December 30, 2011 Filed under: Coaching, Entrepreneurs, Leadership, Thoughts & Observations 1 Comment
I will be consistently consistent in my commitment to consistency.
Say that ten times fast. Or at least say it once a day. Okay, maybe once a week. Commit to saying it at all.
It's the time of year that we all reflect on what has happened in the past year and what we want in the coming. We create resolutions. We write goals. And, yet, come February, we find ourselves in the throes of guilt around those very set goals and resolutions. I think it comes down to a couple of reasons. One is consistency. The other is a compelling reason to change.
This week, I'll speak to the first… "Hi my name is Linda. I struggle with consistency." Growing up, I used to make fun (and she'll tell you I did) of my sister the scientist. When we were finally "adults" and out on our own, she was very systematic and methodical about her life. She knew what she was eating, had shopped for it and knew how her entire week would play out from wake up time to bedtime. She was consistent. She planned for it. Just like you would with any experiment. You can't just jump in with all variables and expect to have a measurable outcome. It was so different than me. I was in professional theatre, single, running around from night to night. I was having FUN. That was my measurable outcome. I wasn't planning. How BORING, I thought (and yes, judged a bit as we do in our 20s).
Ah, how the tides have turned. I long for a week of knowing what we will eat on Wednesday. I long for several constants and limited variables. And while I have gotten much, much better at organization and planning overtime, it's only partially in my DNA. I have to work at it. After all, you don't come out of college with a degree in economics and a side order of fine arts without feeling the constant pull between analytical living and free lovin' creative lifestyle. And, yet, it's what makes me really happy and good at what I do. I mirror my clients who live this constant friction between structure and creativity… it's the magic of entrepreneurial kinetics and innovation. As I would coach any of my clients, it's not about becoming who you aren't, but about becoming the best of who you can be, authentically. And, if you shifted a little to the left or a little to the right, what would be the benefit of doing that? When I do have a diet consisting of more consistency, I literally feel the benefits… less anxiety and stress, higher sense of what's possible and downright empowerment. It's refreshing and when I practice consistency, I'm always happy I did.
So with you as my "accountability partner," I am committing to consistency. Check in with me. Ask me how I'm doing. My first step is the monthly meal planner that I've created (especially since I'm traveling three times in January!). My sister would be proud.
Check in with me and see how I'm doing. Am I managing my constants and minimizing my variables? Hmmm… maybe dropping sciences in college wasn't such a good idea after all… To each of you, I wish you a very Happy New Year and best wishes for a consistently brilliant life!

Ever wonder about being moody? Can't seem to shake it?
When our liver is toxic and hot, we can have severe mood swings. Have you seen road rage on the TV news lately? What do you think can cause this? Is it possible that many people are out of control because they are toxic?
There are many signs of liver stress if the liver cannot eliminate toxins properly.
1-What causes a liver to stay lethargic, toxic and moody is an overabundance of OTC's, *alcohol, *caffeine, environmental toxins, chemicals we ingest, trans-fats, wheat and sugar. Add in nutrient deficiencies from eating low-quality foods and you have a toxic soup. Some warning signs of a toxic liver are constipation, a fatty liver, bad breath, IBS, toxic skin, bloating and more.
*Caffeine and Alcohol can spur mood swings.
2-Our liver is the organ connected to the emotion, Anger. It also assist the colon in digestion. The state or health of the liver is actually fundamental to how we feel this emotion, which could directly shape how we act or react to frustrations in life..
3-An optimal functioning liver removes toxins effortlessly, and controls cholesterol. The liver dumps toxins it filters into the colon via the bile. If the colon is clogged or sluggish – toxins released by the liver will be reabsorbed and re-circulated via the blood.
We can reduce the load of toxins that the liver must cope with on a daily basis by avoiding all processed foods, all food additives, trans-fats, alcohol, sugar, *HFCS, and wheat.
Health Tips:
- Blood Sugar. If we have a tendency to have an acid pH we also have a tendency to have a toxic liver and cholesterol issues. Ask for help if you suffer from alcohol and sugar addictions.
- Serotonin levels. There is more serotonin in our gut than our brain, eat whole foods from mother Natures Table. Try to get get 15 min of sunshine daily to help improve serotonin levels.
- Exercise 20 minutes/day or more: Exercise helps to improve mood and is important to liver function. Regular exercise goes a long way in alleviating depression, and controlling mood swings. Improve your mood while improving blood flow and oxygen to your organs.
- Juice. Raw homemade juices are able to simulate the function of the bowels, liver and kidneys which increase the breakdown and elimination of toxic chemicals and waste products from the body.
- Water. Keep hydrated, and connect with friends and family.
Artichokes and Garbanzo Bean recipe for the liver.
Artichokes and chickpeas roasted with fresh garlic, fresh shallots, and lightly coated with fresh lemon juice and organic olive oil.
2 cans organic chickpeas 15 oz each-drained
One 12 oz can artichokes in water -drained
1/2 bulb of fresh garlic- chopped
2 large organic shallots -sliced
One 3oz jar organic sun dried tomatoes
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
6 sprigs fresh parsley
1/8 to 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons organic olive oil
dash celtic sea salt
Saute sliced shallots, lemon juice, sundried tomatoes and chopped garlic and olive oil in stainless steel pan on top of stove. Add chopped artichokes and chickpeas. When brown, remove. Mix all ingredients together.
Good-mood foods include: Organic kale, Broccoli, artichokes, hemp protein, bananas, Garbanzo beans, lentils and/or wild salmon.

text: So I heard back from the PPS people about the rental boats. I told them I have an NDK Pilgrim Ex and would like something similar. They are ONLY renting poly boats for the symposium, so my options are limited. They are recommending a Wilderness Systems Tempest 16'5". According to them, it's "a sleek poly skeg boat." https://www.wildernesssystems.com/us/kayaks/tempest-165 Having just gotten rid of a WS boat, I blanched a bit, but the link above says that it's for smaller paddlers and it DOES have a skeg. It is wider than my Pilgrim, but most boats are. Will that be OK for me, do you think? I'm 5'6" and 128 lbs. And I want to work a lot on rolling.

Last December, largely ignored by the English speaking media, saw the shock announcement of the Coimisinéir Teanga (Language Commissioner) that he intended to resign during this month. This event and also his later eloquent testimony explaining his decision to an Oireachtas Committee galvanized not only what is dismissed loftily as the Irish speaking lobby, but also ignited a simmering rage in the ever-reducing Irish speaking communities (Gaeltacht) where Irish is still used as a community language.
Another walk is being organised for the Northern Capital which will be entitled "An Lá Dearg" (The Red Day!).
This follows the successful "Lá Mór na Gaeilge" in Baile Átha Cliath on 15th February 2014 with up to 10,000 people, and the tribute to the resigning Language Commissioner, Seán Ó Cuirreáin in Conamara (23/2/2014) attended by up to a thousand people.
Will you be with us?
This writer attended the meeting in South Conamara, held in the historic Sean Scoil Sailearna, an old school building which has been imaginatively transformed into a wonderful theatre. Many grievances were aired but the one which made the greatest impact on me was the anger at the lack of understanding of the education needs of an Irish speaking area.
IAFL (Irish as a Foreign Language)
I was unaware just how unsuitable the uniform syllabus foisted on our schools is. Pupils in Rathfarnham, Carlow, An Spidéal or an Bun Beag have exactly the same linguistic programme. A pupils in an English speaking school in English speaking Dublin has a curriculum in Irish and in English which is exactly the same as a pupil in an Irish speaking school in Irish speaking Indreabhán. In other words the Irish curriculum is being taught as a foreign language even where it is the language of the community.
A study some years ago found that the schools in the Gaeltacht were excellent at teaching English but not Irish. Perhaps we have unearthed the reason why. This is understandable when one realizes that the Department of Education admits that only 1.5% of its personal have sufficient knowledge of Irish to conduct the business of administrating the educating the children of Ireland in what our constitution defines as the National Language.
Speak Irish among yourselves, but don't speak it to us!
It does not help when one experiences that the state agencies, almost without exception, are unable to conduct business in the Gaeltacht in the language of the people. The Government have not provided assurances to ensure that it will communicate in Irish with Gaeltacht communities without terms and conditions and that it will have adequate staff in public administration with proficiency in Irish to serve those excercising their constitutional right to deal in Irish with the state. In the words of the resigning Language Commisioner, '..the State sector is effectively saying to Gaeltacht communities: "Speak Irish among yourselves, but don't speak it to us!".'
The courageous decision of Seán ó Cuirreáin highlights the situation as he sees it after ten years, "The choice I had was to stand aside from my appointment as Coimisinéir Teanga on principle to draw attention to these matters or to continue in my role and, consequently, to participate in a pretence."
One is amazed at the unprecedented speed with which the Government has acted in appointing a successor to this position. The method of selection is of course clouded in secrecy, as is the wont of this "open" administration. The thought has occurred to more than one that it is an attempt to appease those who will be walking the streets of Dublin on Saturday. Certainly the appointment of Rónán Ó Domhnaill is universally welcomed. He appears to be a good choice but one wonders if he will have any greater success than his successor if securing the respect for his office in the ranks of the civil services where, in the words of one of their members, "passive inaction on their part now seems to have moved up a notch or two to one of active undermining."
If that is the case one wonders how long his term of office will last or will he too be forced to resign on principle?
Seán Ó Cuirreáin stated our choices succinctly: "We have two simple choices – to look back at Irish as our lost language or to move forward with it as a core part of our heritage and sovereignty."

text: hen we hear about unethical executives whose careers and companies have gone down in flames, it's sadly unsurprising. Hubris and greed have a way of catching up with people, who then lose the power and wealth they've so fervently pursued. But is the opposite also true? Do highly principled leaders and their organizations perform especially well?

What are the neurological underpinnings of moral and ethical decision-making in the brain? A group of researchers set about to find some answers to this question in a new study.
The study, by researchers at the University of Illinois and the California Institute of Technology, used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of people making a series of tough decisions about how to allocate donations to children in a Ugandan orphanage.
"Morality is a question of broad interest," Ming Hsu, one of the study's authors, said.
"What makes us moral, and how do we make trade-offs in difficult situations?"
The subjects were told that each child would start out with a monetary equivalent of 24 meals, an actual gift from the research team to the orphanage. An undetermined number of meals would have to be cut from some children's allotments, however. The number of meals cut and the individual children who would be affected depended on how the subjects selected from options the researchers presented.
Every decision pitted efficiency (the total number of meals given) against equity (how much the burden of lost meals was shared among the children).
One could choose to take 15 meals from a single child, for example, or 13 meals from one child and five from another. In the first option the total number of meals lost would be lower. Efficiency would be preserved, but one child would bear the brunt of all the cuts. In the second option more children would share the burden of lost meals but more meals would be lost. The equity was better — but at a cost to efficiency.
"This dilemma illustrates the core issues of distributive justice, which involves tradeoffs between considerations that are at once compelling but which cannot be simultaneously satisfied," the authors wrote.
The study was designed to address the psychological and neurological dimensions of two longstanding debates about distributive justice. First, is equity or efficiency more critical to our sense of justice" And second, are such questions solved by reason alone, or does emotion also play a role"
In the experiment, subjects watched an animation on a computer screen. In the animation, a ball traveled from right to left toward a lever that could direct the ball toward one or the other option. Photographs of the affected children represented each option, with numbers for the number of meals that would be lost to those children if that option were selected. By moving the lever, the subjects steered the ball to the option they preferred. At the end of each trial, the subject's choice was highlighted in red.
In these trials, subjects overwhelmingly chose to preserve equity at the expense of efficiency.
"They were all quite inequity averse," noted Hsu.
The findings support other studies that show that most people are fairly intolerant of inequity.
The animation, in conjunction with the fMRI, allowed the researchers to view activity in the brain at critical moments in the decision-making process. After analyzing the data, they found that different brain regions — the insula, putamen and caudate — were activated differently, and at different points in the process, Hsu said.
Activation of the insula varied from trial to trial in relation to changes in equity, while activity in the putamen corresponded to changes in efficiency, he said.
In contrast, the caudate appeared to integrate both equity and efficiency once a decision was made.
The involvement of the insula appears to support the notion that emotion plays a role in a person's attitude towards inequity, Hsu said.
The insula is known to play a key role in the awareness of bodily states and emotions. Studies have shown that it is activated in people experiencing hunger or drug-related cravings, and in those feeling intense emotions such as anger, fear, disgust or happiness. Other research has implicated the insula in mediating fairness.
The putamen and the caudate are activated during reward-related learning.
"You're seeing the signal in the insula and the putamen initially," Hsu said. "When they hit the lever you see the insula activation. And when the ball gets to the end you see (activation of) the caudate."
"The putamen is responding only to the chosen efficiency, which is how many meals get taken away from the kids or how many meals they end up with," Hsu said. The insula, however, responded to how equitably the burden of lost meals was distributed.
Together, the results "show how the brain encodes two considerations central to the distributive justice calculus and shed light on the cognitivist/sentimentalist debate regarding the psychological underpinnings of distributive justice," the authors wrote.
The research appears in the current issue of the journal Science.

For Immediate Release
"Blind Man Touching the Sun" by George Mendoza
Thursday, October 25th, 2007
Nationally Recognized Artist to give a talk and demo at the Art Center Tues, Nov 6
George Mendoza, a legally blind painter and nationally recognized visionary artist, will give a special Artist Demonstration and Talk on Tuesday, November 6th from 9:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. at the Rockport Center for the Arts.

A man of courage and vision, George Mendoza is truly an inspiration. Even though he lost his sight at the age of 15, he has gone on to become an artist, world class runner, Olympic contender and a motivational speaker for the youth and disabled in America. He has written a novel and an autobiographical docudrama, which was narrated by Academy Award winner Robert Duvall and aired on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS). Galleries and collectors say that Mendozas art reflects both the intensity of the Southwestern light and the vision of one who cannot see details of reality, but who mysteriously sees the colors of the soul. In his quest to inspire other visually impaired persons to turn to art as a healthy outlet for the inner visions, he has undertaken a series of colorful abstract paintings and is filming a special video illuminating his new work.
The video is a collaborative effort with award-winning filmmaker Richard T.Stevens, whose credits include Top Gun" and Hot Shots. During their visit, they will also be filming and speaking with guests at Camp Aranzazu in Rockport. Camp Aranzazu is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with chronic illnesses, terminal diseases and disabilities by providing unique camping, environmental studies, and retreat experiences to groups with special needs. At Camp Aranzazu they find respect, love and freedom from the obstacles that challenge them. It is a place where healing takes place, even when curing is not possible.

Concentrating on M&M of Restraint now.
Yes, I promised Warped before I took a hiatus from Blended and concentrated on M&M.
Yes, I am reneging.
#1: I've published nearly 1,800 pages of Blended in 2014. I think I've earned a pass.
#2: I tend to emulate my characters. Writing a Bipolar drug addicted police officer is not a small feat while maintaining your own level of sanity. As of late, I've been suffering with the manic portion of my character's condition. I cannot concentrate on anything for longer than a few moments. To write, one must be able to sit for large amounts of time and be completely within their minds. I can only read the beginning of a book, and then I lose interest at this point. It's like my mind has been invaded by a swarm of thoughts that just will NOT settle down into something conhesive.
#3: I've already written over 100,000 words of Warped. (Restraint is 97,000 in its current state). Warped will be nearly 1,000 pages in length if I write it while inspired, with patience, and without rushing. I want to enjoy what I write, but if I don't, the readers will feel the emotions infusing the page.
#4: I promised myself I'd NEVER rush-write again, and that is a promise to myself I will never break. I wouldn't be in this situation if I hadn't wrote how I did earlier in my career. But I can call upon my ignorance. I. Am. NOT. Ignorant any longer. I have been wizened beyond my years through trial and error and shit writing.
#5: I've written well-over a million words since I began Restraint. I'm positive I've evolved in my craft, and M&M deserves better. The series deserves the level of writing I am currently at, not what is currently published, silently embarrassing me.
#6: we are coming up to the one-year anniversary to the release of Integrated, the last M&M book I published. If I were to take my time, making Warped as incredible as I believe it will be (hard-hitting, raw- gripping, and emotional), it would be nearing 2 years for the next M&M book. Some authors don't write a 1000 pages in several years, and to expect me to crank it out in a few months without harsh consequences is madness.
#7: Erica needs a break. I'm drained. Tapped out. The muse is not amused, or inspired, or awake. I slept for hours last night, finally, realizing it's been ages since I slept longer than 4 hours at a time. It isn't healthy. It's a delicate balance: creating books to sell to the masses, versus taking care of yourself. I write book that my fans are hungry to read, but I don't have a lot of devoted fans in my niche writing. So it takes a LOT of releases to earn squat. But at what cost? My sanity? My health?
#7.5: see refusal to speed-write to crank out books to earn more money. I'd rather write a great book, the first time, and be proud of what I've given to the public, than to pad my bank account. I deserve more. The reader deserves more. But most importantly, the STORY deserves more.
#8: Sometimes I just can't write anew. Sometimes I find immense joy in fixing what I've previously written, finding pride in making it better- more. Obviously this is obvious, since I can never leave well-enough alone. Which is why I'm going into Print books. Once in print, it's permanent, a stopping point for my never-ending obsession with perfection.
#9: I don't cater to the masses. My books are not for the mainstream. A notion I'm completely ditching during my M&M rewrite. Maybe if I wasn't trying to straddle the line of normalcy versus how twisted my mind truly is, the readers would feel it, connect with the story, and want to share it with the world. So instead of trying to crank out books to sell more books to a handful of devotees, I'm going to try to write the best books to my ability, to my standards, and perhaps gain some more fans in the process. I think the payoff for all those involved will be greater.
#10: Restraint is getting refurbished: A new cover. A new blurb. A new price point. Both in print and in ebook form. It's getting completely rewritten, restructured. Because if I demand more of myself as a writer, to write my flagship book to be one of the best books I've written, then I should not discount it. As with self-respect, you get what you project. If I give my own version of a masterpiece away for free, in hopes someone will one-click it, and may or may not ever even open it to read its contents, then I'm belittling my own work. If I want readers to know it's worthy, then I'll make sure they know its worth. I'm not saying I will never sale price the title, I'm promising it will never be FREE.
#11: I can give a way a lot of books for free or next to nothing, and they may or may not ever be read. But this avid reader/one-clicker/bookwhore, hardly ever reads the free books she collects, but one thing that is for damned sure: if I BUY it, I READ it. If I READ it, I REVIEW it.
#12: I'm pulling myself out of the rabbit hole. If I sell 10 books at the higher price point, it's still worth more than giving away thousands of books no one will ever read. I will keep the Kindle Lending, Prime, and Unlimited. I will sale price my books for promotions. Books, just because they are offered in ebook form, does not make them any less valuable than one sitting upon the shelves. It still took the same amount of time to write, edit, buy the cover, pay the cover artist, pay Uncle Sam his cut, maintain an at-home office. If the writer is good, then the book will be better. The good writer with the better book shouldn't have to lower their prices to compete with books of a lower caliber.
I'm not speaking of price gouging; I'm speaking of worth. To say Good Girl is only worth 99 cents is madness. To say when it's in its print form it will be worth ten bucks just because of the paper it's printed on is lunacy. It's 700 pages of my blood, sweat, and tears, of ME on the pages, and to give it away for free, or to only get 30 cents BEFORE taxes per copy…
Yes, anyone can type up a book and slap a price on it, but it takes money to be a writer and survive. It takes even more money to be a damned good writer and show it in your work. We're all worth more. I've just finally figured that out.
#13: My plan, which is subject to change: All of M&M of Restraint, rewritten and republished in both print and ebook, with every book published thereafter as a permanent book. Only one try this time for the Wicked Writer. No more do-overs. I can't survive it. I either respect and feel proud of the work I'm publishing, or it won't be published. The first time. No rush-writing. No getting books out to have a new release and keep my links on ppl's Twitter, Fb, and Goodreads feeds.
#14: Hero will be my next new release.
#15: My apologies, Blended Fans, but I released 4 Blended books, back-to-back, in less than nine months (1,800 pages). It's The Mistress & Master of Restraint's turn. But I will never go longer than 2 books per series without going back to the other. No more years of one series without giving a voice to the other.
#16: Blended is finite for a reason. It's heavily outlined. I even know the final sentence of "THE END". M&M could be infinite, as along as I have a palate cleanser, affording me the opportunity to give my muse room to grow and play.
17: When I catch up, or when the muse demands some space, you'll be hearing from my pseudonym. The mystery and the suspense will be that I will NOT tell you who it is. I'll wait, announce it, and let you all scour goodreads & Amazon until you figure it out. I call myself the Wicked Writer for a reason, and I will derive perverse pleasure as I watch you reason out who my other half is…

Thanks for the update. I am glad to hear about M&M which was the story that brought me to your door step. Even better that the story will go as long as the mood hits. I can read about it forever
September 27, 2014 at 8:07 pm
sounds like you have a very well thought out plan. I'm eager to read the revised, or the newly published, whenever they are released.
September 27, 2014 at 8:42 pm
Thank you I talked to you last night about it , looking forward to Hero and as for price, the first book was free and I have gladly paid for all the rest because the story and the the families have drawn me. The one's I started hating are less hateful and with each new books I get more involved. You write them and I will buy them
September 27, 2014 at 9:03 pm
Thanks for the update Erica – totally agree with your reasoning – I thought it was fab to get all those blended's in a row but the M&M's are where my journey with you started so I am happy to get back to them as well.
As for pricing, I have always thought your books were priced too low. As my favorite author I can tell you honestly that I would pay any price for your books. I already own all the previous ones and will be happy to purchase the new ones at any price as I know they are worth every penny – I can't wait!!
Thanks again for being soooooo awesome!!!!! X
September 27, 2014 at 11:49 pm
I was so happy to buy three of Blended after finding one for free. I'm sending you etheric bubble baths, glasses of wine, house cleaning and home cooked meals, so you can concentrate on what you do best. Being a wonderful writer. Now looking forward to reading the M&M series, and as a previous poster stated, I'm more than happy to buy your books whatever the price, in print or E format, I don't care. When you find a writer that you click with, you stay with them.

Happy Saturday Everyone,
Today I have a Lili of the Valley card to share with you. I'm entering this into Lili's Little Fairies challenge, 'Fairies and Butterflies'.
I coloured 'Never Too Old For A Hug' on Thursday, with distress inks, yesterday I received this paper from Dies To Die For, it's from Inkido and it is absolutely divine, AND it has butterflies on so it fits in lovely with this challenge and also the Butterfly challenge at Deep Ocean Challenge.
The flowers, ribbon and brad are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the charm is off a friend, thanks Susie. I've also used two tiny Martha Stewart punched butterflies, and a gorgeous butterfly die.
I'm sorry about the shadows, but it is such a glorious day today and the sun is shining.
I want to take this opportunity to say 'Hi' to Sandra (craftynan). Sandra always leaves me such lovely comments, and as she doesn't have a blog I can't leave her any comments, but I do appraciate every comment I get.

What do participants think when they have a cover instructor?
It's a bit like being a stand up comedian….you walk in and there's some in the room that won't look at you directly and some that look at you as if to say 'go on then impress me!'
People don't like change so you've always got an uphill battle to win them over. Below are a few notes about what it feels like from a participant point of view and some top tips to make it good.
How does a participant feel? We asked some participants this question and below there is a summary of their responses.
As a participant when I have a cover instructor there is an element of uncertainty and mistrust. You're slightly disappointed because your normal instructor isn't there and as such you're not sure what you are going to get. You've made the effort to get to the class and you want it to be good.
The first few minutes are critical…you want to feel confident in the instructor you want to feel like they know what they are doing.
It's important that you feel like they are confident about the class and that they are going to get you to the other end.
Top 5 tips to make it good
1) Do some research, ask the instructor you're covering for about the class level and what the class likes and does not like. If you can't speak to the instructor speak to the venue/club. A two minute phone call will make
a big difference to you
2) Have some music on in the studio so there is a bit of atmosphere at the start (nothing worse than a silent studio…you can cut the atmosphere with a knife)
3) Be confident and enthusiastic even before the class starts, say hello to everyone as they come in. Take charge of the class …they want you to lead
4) Introduce yourself and explain the content of the class (it will make them feel like you've got a plan)
5) Spend a few seconds right at the start to make sure you've got the music and mic level right. If they can't hear you properly you'll lose the class very quickly
If you can pick out a couple of the more lively participants before the class starts and quietly introduce yourself and say to them 'I'm going to ask you about the music level and class intensity will you give me a thumbs up or down to let me get it right'. That way you're much more likely to get a response to your questions, for some reason if you ask the whole class people are reluctant to answer.
Lastly, be confident in your own abilities and enjoy the class!Advertise your class for free

Wedding hair styles
Choosing the right wedding hair style can be quite stressful, do you go with up or down? What would look good in your photographs. What style would suit your dress.
These are questions that go through many brides-to-be minds. We want to look beautiful and gorgeous, we want to feel that too. Stephanie Brinerhoff also had a hard time choosing her wedding hair style herself and decided to help brides with pros and cons for each style. Stephanie also suggests a few recommendations on each, to help you make that very important decision.
All Down
• It's gorgeous! Especially if your hair is extra long.
• It's comfortable. You won't have a headache by the end of the day from a million bobby pins in your hair.
• It's moveable. You won't have to worry about it moving around because unlike an all up style, it's supposed to move around!
• The biggest con for hair that's all down is that it's the least predictable wedding hair style. Since it is moveable, it's almost impossible to keep everything in place. By the end of a long day it can look ratty and messy. It's hard to keep volume and shape in hair that's not pinned at all.
My recommendation:
• If you are going to wear it all down, make sure you have time to touch it up through out the day. If you can touch it up a few times, by the end of the night it should still look great. It also helps to start a little curlier at the beginning of the day to give it some room to relax a little and still look good.
All Up
• So fancy and fun! When do you ever get a chance to wear a beautiful all up style and not feel overdone? Your wedding is the perfect occasion.
• There are SO many options. An "updo" can mean so many things and fit so many different styles.
• It will hold it's shape all day, making it more likely to look good in pictures.
• Some all up styles can look boring from the front.
• They can be uncomfortable, especially if you have really heavy hair.
My Recommendation:
• Make sure you really love your up style not only from the back and side views, but from the front too. Keep it soft and feminine around your face so it's more interesting. It helps to leave out some soft curls to frame your face.
Half Up
• You get to keep the look of long curls while still having the security of bobby pins. Best of both worlds.
• It's easier to find a place for hair accessories in half updos than in all down styles.
• Since the top half is pinned up, it's a lot more likely to hold shape and body for the whole day.
• Since half of your hair is still down, it can easily get messy and out of place just like an all down style
My Recommendation:
• If you aren't comfortable with an all up-do, I would choose a half-up style over an all-down style. It will be more secure, hold it's shape better and it's an easy way to fancy up an all-down style.
To the Side
• If you are wearing it long and side swept, it's just like the half updo in the sense that you get to keep the length while still having the security of bobby pins.
• It will look good from the front and in pictures.
•It can be uncomfortable. Most side updos are low set on the neck, and having an updo right there at the base of your neck by your ear can be annoying after a while.
• In pictures, one side will look great, but the other may look boring.
My recommendation:
• Make sure you know which side of your hair will be facing the audience during your ceremony, and do your updo on that side. Also try to be aware of which way you are facing while your photographer takes pictures. Always try to have the side with the updo towards the camera.

I though "ok, I broke a mirror a few days ago, maybe my camera got broken because of that" hahah. Maybe its silly, but I really though that. The thing is that even though what happened, I didnt got upset, I mean, its a camera, those things happen and I manage to see all the good things and then I realise it was just a step foward, out with the old, in with the new!
I'm getting a new one, and Im gonna be able to make films which is awesome. Thanks to this I got to go to a lot a fashion shows not as a photographer but as an spectator and that allow me to finally chat with people, live the moment and see it with my own eyes, it was beautiful. And the last photoshoot I had with my camera turn out to be really popular, and I want to finally share it here now.
Basically, when you learn to see the good side.. life can be pretty much amazing. Enjoy!

Nicholas Reid reflects in essay form on general matters and ideas related to literature, history, popular culture and the arts, or just life in general. You are free to agree or disagree with him.
Within less than a week after the second round of the French presidential elections, Netflix was already showing a 90-minute documentary, directed by Yann L'Heroret, called in English Emmanuel Macron: Behind the Rise (original French title: Emmanuel Macron: Les coulisses d'une victoire) – in French with English subtitles. It was a documentary in the tradition of the 1993 American documentary, The War Room, about the election of Bill Clinton. Like The War Room, it was a view of a presidential campaign as seen entirely from within the camp and strategy rooms of the winning candidate. There were brief and fleeting shots of rival candidates (Le Pen, Fillon), only when they appeared in television debates with Macron. There were very brief shots indeed of Macron facing off against protesters who didn't like him, such as a group of aged pieds noirs from Algeria who didn't like what he'd said about the evils of colonialism. Otherwise, the aim of the film was to show the enthusiasm of Macron's (often young) followers; Macron's cleverness in out-debating his rivals; the silly side-issue of a sex scandal which a journalist fabricated, but which Macron was easily able to refute; and finally the triumph of the winning tally. It was notable that much context was missing – no reference to the big riots staged by left-wingers in Paris when their preferred candidate got trounced in the first round. Hardly any reference to the Le Pen phenomenon and, of course, in the debate sections it was only Macron's zingers that were displayed, not those of the other candidates.
One can only imagine that much of the film had already been edited and put in place before the final results. It would have required only an extra ten minutes or so of selected footage to be added, after the election, before the film was ready for its very topical release.
Though essentially an exercise in cheer-leading, some of it was enlightening. As in all political campaigns, there was horse-trading. Other candidates gave in to Macron after the first round of voting, and agreed to encourage their supporters to vote for Macron in the second round. There was the interesting issue of the size of the halls in which Macron's rallies were to be held – make them too big, and the television cameras will pick up all the empty seats.
Macron, former finance minister in Francois Hollande's Socialist Party, formed his "En Marche!" party only last year.
And here we come to the most obvious thing that Emmanuel Macron: Behind the Rise did not consider. There was virtually nothing about Macron's policies, except that he is a "European" (i.e. a strong supporter of the EU) and that he is open-minded on the subject of immigration. Much can apparently be forgiven him in that he is young and handsome (at 39, France's youngest preseident to date) and – to the purring delight of those who consider surfaces only – that he has declared that his preferred cabinet would have 50% men and 50% women.
BUT there are two major unconsidered issues.
First, Macron will get his dream team only if France's (yet-to-come) parliamentary elections go his way. At time of writing, the newly-invented "En Marche!" party has no representation in the French parliament whatsoever. In the end, the most likely outcome is that President Macron will have to work with a parliament that is predominantly Socialist and Republican (formerly known a Gaullist).
Second, some people appear not to have read the fine print. Macron may believe in Europe, immigration and gender equity, but he is also clearly a neo-liberal. One of his policies is to reduce the tax rate on corporations, in order to (he says) stimulate jobs and productivity. My political rear-vision-mirror sees an image very like Tony Blair – young, telegenic, personable, and in fact part of the process that further wound down the welfare state. It is not as if Macron – the former banker – has begun this process in France, but he is certainly going to continue it.
Considering the nature of Macron's electoral victory, there is another important point. Essentially, for the French electorate, he was a negative candidate. The Socialists, Republicans and minority party-supporters who voted for him were largely voting against Marine Le Pen, the other candidate left standing after the first round of presidential elections. The French had a choice between an extreme nationalist and a smooth neoliberal. They chose the neoliberal, which in the circumstances was fair enough.
I know I've quoted it before on this blog, but I am once again reminded of that line in C.Day Lewis's 1943 poem "Where Are the War Poets?":
"It is the logic of our times,
No subject for immortal verse –
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."

Bruno Mars has made it to the crème de la crème of pop stars after setting the Super Bowl on fire along with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As Rolling Stone summarizes the event's halftime, the most foreseeable music divides into either classic rock legends, pop icons or trending stars, but Mars' music is a blend between vintage soul, contemporary R&B and eighties rock, which could satisfy millions of people's tastes.
Bruno Mars' shiny Motown-style suit was not the only reason why the artist set the Super Bowl on fire. Although the halftime debuted with a row of children "emblazoned with the word 'prepare,'" Mars injected the millions of viewers with a drum explosion, a solo which combined "funk groove, military rolls, gorilla-heavy snare-cymbal hammering." The artist's performance was opened with Locked Out of Heaven and hypnotized the crowd with an "explosive dance workout." The Red Hot Chili Peppers entered the scene shirtless and offered an interlude that pumped life into the tune while singing Give It Away. The cherry on top was represented by Mars' last interpretation of Just the Way You Are, an ending marked by fireworks.
Irrespective of how the Super Bowl's audience saw Mars' performance, the artist may have found "the secret to a good song," disclosed by the singer prior to the national event. According to Mars, in order to grab someone's attention, the first three seconds are essential. The feeling of waking up is followed by "something that I haven't felt before" and ended with a metaphoric punch in the face which leaves listeners numb.
Although Bruno Mars set the Super Bowl on fire with his interpretation, the 12-minute performance was not paid in cash, but in exposure. However, Super Bowl executives paid the artist the accompanying expenses like travel, lodging, fees for backup dancers and musicians, setup, pyrotechnics, etc. Forbes reports that Mars' biggest reward comes in the form of boosted sales for merchandise, concert tickets and albums.
Choosing Bruno Mars to sing during Super Bowl's halftime is best explained by Marc Ganis, president of the consultancy Sportscorp, Ltd., who stated that "there aren't that many acts like that."
"You don't want to recycle," Ganis said with regard to choosing the right artist for the NFL and mentioned that "Bruno Mars is a pretty good selection."
As far as Bruno Mars is concerned, setting the Super Bowl on fire and having the chance to sing for probably the most important sports event in the United States is "definitely something on a bucket list." While making his dream come true, Mars also paid a tribute to his mother who passed away in June 2013 from a brain aneurysm. The personal touch that Mars gave to his drum performance was offered not by the intro, but by the unique drum kit which featured his mother's name that appeared to surround a heart. Bernadette, Mars' late mother was symbolically offered a spot on the stage and in the artist's heart.
After setting the Super Bowl on fire, Bruno Mars became marketers' favorite artist; and Jarrod Moses, a branding expert, notes that the singer could collect between $2 million to $4 million in endorsement fees. Mars is also a guest DJ for Apple's iRadio and his music appears in ads for Pepsi and Hyundai.

Spoiler alert: Stephanie McMahon.
WWE's habit of tanking great performers with terrible booking has never been more apparent than in 2018.
Asuka, once the most magnetic performers in the company, is now a threatless parody of the monster she was in NXT, her mystique obliterated by James Ellsworth, Carmella, and broken English promos. Her countryman Shinsuke Nakamura has suffered a similar fate despite his heel turn's early promise. Remember the Authors Of Pain? They barely exist anymore. Roman Reigns was long considered the company's most over-protected star, but was sacrificed at the altar of Brock Lesnar this summer. The list goes on.
Athletic standards are higher than ever and the talent pool is impossibly deep, but WWE's cack-handed booking team has overseen a noticeable in-ring decline. This is particularly true of Raw and SmackDown. NXT, for the most part, remains a reliable source of excellence, but main roster PPVs are riddled with problems.
That doesn't mean that WWE haven't delivered great matches in 2018, though. They have, just not with the consistency fans should expect.
A roster this talented will inevitably transcend the writing on occasion, and their finest work compares favourably with anything on offer elsewhere...

Proporta Ted Baker for iPod Touch 2G
Proporta have been dealing with cases and accessories for a whole range of portable gadgets for quite a while now, but they've often lacked a certain element of quality and class that some of the higher-end manufacturers are offering. This is why I was so surprised when when I received the Ted Baker leather case for the iPod Touch.
The mixture of black and rich teal green with matching colour stitching makes the case look fantastically fashionable. Perfect for any fashionistas or for those who want to show their iPod Touch in a classy light.
With a flip cover, Proporta has given this case a funky exterior with a headphone pattern embossed. Inside, you'll find the iPod holder that is neatly crafted to fit the rest of the case. Screen protection relies on the flip cover, so you can have unrestricted access to your Touch. Those who are more wary may want to invest in one of those sticker-based screen protectors. The Home button is a little bit tricky to get at because of the thickness and close proximity of the case portion that is holding the Touch in place.
What's not to like about this case? Well, if you're one who frequently requires access to the Touch, then this might not be the most practical of choices. You would end up buttoning and unbuttoning the cover to the point where it will drive you mad. Hoever, if you're the occasional user who likes to put their favourite playlist on and let it run its course, then this case is the perfect match for you. It exudes quality with its attention-to-detail design and craftmanship as well as its trendy looks.

Reconciling results of LSND, MiniBooNE and other experiments with soft decoherence - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology
Reconciling results of LSND, MiniBooNE and other experiments with soft decoherence - High Energy Physics - Phenomenology - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: We propose an explanation of the LSND signal via quantum-decoherence of themass states, which leads to damping of the interference terms in theoscillation probabilities. The decoherence parameters as well as their energydependence are chosen in such a way that the damping affects only oscillationswith the large atmospheric $\Delta m^2$ and rapidly decreases with theneutrino energy. This allows us to reconcile the positive LSND signal withMiniBooNE and other null-result experiments. The standard explanations ofsolar, atmospheric, KamLAND and MINOS data are not affected. No new particles,and in particular, no sterile neutrinos are needed. The LSND signal iscontrolled by the 1-3 mixing angle $\theta {13}$ and, depending on the degreeof damping, yields $0.0014 < \sin^2\theta {13} < 0.034$ at $3\sigma$. Thescenario can be tested at upcoming $\theta {13}$ searches: while the comparisonof near and far detector measurements at reactors should lead to a null-resulta positive signal for $\theta {13}$ is expected in long-baseline acceleratorexperiments. The proposed decoherence may partially explain the results ofGallium detector calibrations and it can strongly affect supernova neutrinosignals.

The hotel Kasbah Bab Ourika was brought to my attention by the consistently amazing blog 1 Kind Design.
I have been wanting to feature a Moroccan hotel for a while but haven't come across anything that speaks to me. Having spent a little time in Morocco and a whole lot of time in the Arabic-speaking world, I have overdosed on the traditional Moroccan design excess that is typical of most high-end, European-owned Moroccan hotels.
The Kasbah Bab Ourika is in the spectacular Atlas Mountains and seems like the perfect antidote to urban Moroccan mosaic over-stimulation.

I am feeling so lazy about blogging lately! I have a vacation starting this Friday, hopefully I'll get some things done to share then. I've still got three spring Zoyas and twelve summer ones staring me down....
Today's Hump Day HARE is one of the newest ones called Pretty When I Cry, inspired by Lana Del Rey. This is part of a limited edition release and while they are sold out in the Etsy shop, I do believe some stockists will be receiving some.
Pretty When I Cry is described as "a sandy beige jelly with metallic silver flakes (that come off sort of golden) and iridescent blue mini flakes and shimmer." The shimmer is a bit hidden in most lights (and my swatches) but it is easy to catch the blue flash in the sun!

Thank you for your interest in supporting the Dennis P. McHugh Foundation! The 14th Annual Run for Fun and Family Fair will be held on Saturday, April 28, 2018, at 9:30 AM at Fly Wheel Park in Piermont, New York.
This year's event will raise funds will raise funds to honor a longtime supporter of the Dennis P. McHugh Foundation and Dennis's cousin, Peter G. Bohan, by supporting the Piermont Historical Society and creating a scholarship at Pearl River High School. Peter lived the majority of his 53 years in Rockland County, worked the BBQ at the Run for Fun for more than 10 years, loved walking the Piermont Pier and enjoyed all that the county has to offer. The Foundation will purchase a memorial bench, located at the Piermont Historic Train Station, from the Piermont Historical Society. Its mission is to preserve and protect the integrity of Piermont's architecture, history and cultural heritage, and to celebrate the history of Piermont. In addition, funds raised during the Run for Fun will provide a scholarship in Peter's honor to a graduating student from Pearl River High School.
Since 2004 — thanks to the help of our sponsors and others — we have honored the Foundation's pledge of $500,000 to the Dennis P. McHugh Piermont Public Library and raised funds for numerous local charities and causes: for example, supporting United Hospice of Rockland County; the construction of housing for wounded veterans through Homes for Heroes; and the purchase and installation of life-saving AED defibrillators in Camp Venture's community-based group homes located throughout Rockland County.
As we did last year, we are offering different levels of sponsorship for the Run for Fun and Family Fair:

It's fine to pray, but stopping mass shootings will take action too. [Opinion]
As faith leaders, we profess the profound benefit of prayer in bringing comfort in times of tragedy. We pray for the families and friends of the victims gone from this world too soon. But prayer alone is not enough. Our respective teachings and the moral compass of humanity compel us to speak out and call upon us all to immediately curb the use of weapons of war on innocent children. Our young people in schools across the country have demanded a safe place to learn. We hear them. And we must support them.
Fourteen children and three teachers lost their lives in the violent shooting massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14. Countless others who survived have had their lives changed forever.
As members of the Coalition for Mutual Respect, a group of religious leaders who come together under the auspices of the Anti-Defamation League to promote interfaith understanding and speak out with a unified voice on matters of importance to us, we plead that our elected representatives end the epidemic of gun violence plaguing our country.
What should be a sincere expression of comfort has become a shield from accountability.
EDITORIAL: Parkland students give us hope that real change is coming to our nation's gun policy
We applaud Mayor Sylvester Turner on the newly created Commission to End Gun Violence and are eager to see meaningful and measurable outcomes from our city. We also hope that our state legislators will follow suit and support local initiatives. Now is the time for our civic leaders to enact strong, effective and sensible gun violence prevention measures at all levels of government — from City Hall to Capitol Hill. The myth that weapons should be met with more weapons is wholly unfounded and in itself dangerous. Guns have no place in our schools. They only negatively impact educational environments and there is no evidence to suggest they make classrooms safer.
We strongly encourage comprehensive background checks, curb the use of assault rifles and other weapons of war, safety trainings for the use of weapons and the critical need to remove barriers placed by special interests on the research and gathering of data related to firearm violence.
While we will continue to pray for our elected officials — that they will heed the call — we can no longer wait. As a community, we must find strength not only in prayer, but in action. We encourage our faith leaders to come together to create safe spaces for our children and families, whether in our houses of worship, movie theaters, parks or schools. We must speak out on this issue from the pulpit and in prayer circles. We must encourage our congregations to discuss the issue of gun violence.
EDITORIAL: While Parkland survivors make headlines, black youth get left out of gun debate
This is a message that must be heard not just in our state capitals and in Washington, D.C., but from the pews. Gun violence isn't just affecting classrooms. Houses of worship, shopping malls and concerts are no longer safe.
This is a conversation for everyone. With one voice, we call on Houstonians of all faiths and people of good will to come together to provide for the safety and well-being of our children and our city.
EDITORIAL: Gun control now!
We believe most Houstonians agree with the Coalition for Mutual Respect and ADL. Now is the time to add your voice to this issue and demand that the value of human life come before special interests and weapons of war.
Fiorenza, Karff and Lawson are members of the Anti-Defamation League's Coalition for Mutual Respect, founded in 1995 as a vehicle for community and religious leaders to counteract bigotry and promote respect and interfaith understanding.
