We're all familiar with the 4th Amendment to the US Constitution, right? The one that states that you're secure from "unreasonable searches and seizures?" Right, well, we all know from our TV-watching that the key word there is "unreasonable." Turns out that the most-common of police encounters, the traffic stop, could potentially open you up to having your smartphone searched.
Basically, if the police officer arrests you for real, he or she can then search your person -- including your iPhone -- without a warrant:
Adam Gershowitz, an assistant professor at the South Texas College of Law, raises an interesting point about the iPhone and similarly tricked-out mobile devices: If the police stop you and find some legal cause to arrest you, they are probably free, under judicial interpretations of the Fourth Amendment, to search the device. - Machinist
That's a scary thought, actually, because it's one thing to search a car, but to search an iPhone is tantamount to searching your entire life. Think about it: email, browsing history, received phone calls, all of it.
Of course, there's always the chance that when this gets tested for real in court, that court will set a precedent that will overturn this. As of right now, though, the ability to do that search is the best interpretation of current law.
What do to? Apparently if you just set a screen-lock password, a warrant is required. I'm not just saying this as a PSA to criminals, either -- setting the screen lock is a good idea all around. If your iPhone gets stolen, welcome to the special circle of hell reserved for those whose identity has been stolen. Not. Fun. (and no, I'm not just talking about iPhones, either.)
So that screen lock is a hassle, but it might just be worth it, no?

Paranoid or just careful?
Having read about all kinds of computer trouble, involving idiots trying to be funny, I have installed a truckload of counterhacker utilities. Aside from a Firewall, Antivirus, and Antispamprogam I have started using Ad-Aware, Spybot, Windows Defender, Calling ID, McAfee Siteadvisor. Also, I am using Firefox and have NoScript installed. So far, I have been satisfied with the result. True, they make surfing slightly more cumbersome, but knowing what is going on with my computer makes it worth the hassle.

Happy Hump Day! Xoxo
Month: August 2013
The Eat Sheet
Honestly, I made a trip to the grocery store about once or twice a month. I'd buy a shit ton of stuff, just winging it, and end up spending $300-$350 for a family of three. I know some of you are like um, where are your coupons?! So let me fill you in on "saving" with coupons. Do you REALLY pay attention to what these people buy on those extreme coupon shows? No? It's shit food. There's no coupons for meat, fresh fruit, fresh veggies, dairy, etc! Obv I use coupons for toothpaste, razors, shampoo or whatever. But I am talking about FOOD! Real, healthy, food. Who the hell needs to buy 4 gallons of Hawaiian punch! Unhealthy people that's who. And no. I'm not saying that to be ugly or judge mental! But we eat good, healthy meals the majority of the time. So how have I figured out an additional way to save a little cash?!
I've started going once a week. On Sundays. I sit down in the morning, with a cup of coffee, go through my cook books, and figure out what to make.
Most are 25-30 prepare time dishes because like most of you, I work. And there's no fucking way I'm cooking for an hour and a half when I get home.
Then I make my grocery list according to the menu.
I found this awesome, free template at mommytrackd.com it has become a life saver for me. Go check it out. You will be happy you did!
Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend! Xoxo
I am the Majority! Pit Bull Mom
New Hair! Whoop whoop!
Yes! I just whoop whooped and no I'm not ashamed at all. Actually should you find me out in public with or without an adult beverage in my hand undoubtedly you will still hear a (very) high pitched WHOOP WHOOP! It's a stable of my personality. And it has become part of Hails personality as well! Annnnnnyyyyy who, I needed a change in my life so yours truly opted for a new hair style!
So here is your before & after pic!
First Day of School Picture!
Back to School!!! School Year 2013 whoop whoop!
Holy crap, where the hell did the last 2 months go?!!! Here we are, the first day of school. Again. Here's my Hails sportin her first day outfit and hair. All smiles. Filled with excitement. And nervousness. she could barely sleep. actually she woke up before her alarm clock. She barely touched her breakfast and Mom is already bracing herself for a mental breakdown.
Nick started teaching high school kids for the first time, hails is starting a new school, and I have less than 3 weeks before my own classes begin.
Hails is repeating the 2nd grade and we felt that a new school would help ease any questions by peers. Granted its not the school I would have chosen, but the decision to not have her continue at her old one was a necessity for our families. (I say families because obv we co-parent, she stays with her dad and stepmom for a week and back to us) yes, it's hectic! That's a whole other post for another time.
As if this wasn't a hectic time to deal with, my family is also coming in to town for a couple weeks. I mean the timing couldn't be more stressful! But we will get through it, get back into a more steady routine, and I will drink myself into a fucking coma Saturday nights to take the edge off!!
Here's to homework, school projects, open houses, morning tantrums, and football!
Hope all have an awesome first day of school 🙂
A Parenting Dilemma.
I'm having one of those guilt trip moments that parents so frequently have. And though I'm sure most parents feel guilt over many many things, my guilt stems from my inability to stop carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.
I've said many times that Hails is the driving force behind my desire to make this world better. She's not the only reason obviously. The older I've gotten, the more I feel that we each have a responsibility to try and impact this world for the better. I don't think that we should just live for ourselves. If everyone did such, then there would be no Mother Theresa or civil rights movements.
Unfortunately it seems like indifference is a disease that's spread rapidly from coast to coast, country to country. And it makes me angry, sad, but most of all frustrated. And so I try to explain things to Hails, as best as I can, as to why mommy cares about things that go on around the world. I've been asked if my time spent advocating or doing volunteer work wouldn't be better spent, spending time with my daughter. So this is where my recent guilt is coming from.
Would my time be better spent just spending time with Hailey? I'm a firm believer in you must live how you preach. You must do as you say others should do. I can tell her this is the way life should be and it's important that we do our parts, but if she doesn't see her mother do it, then what kind of example am I for her?
I treasure times with her especially when there's no MMMMMMOOOOOOMMMMMM I DON'T WANNA! Moments. We read books when it's time for bed. We snuggle. But my fav time is when she's truly engaged in the things I'm trying to teach her. Occasionally I'm followed by I don't care. And that comes from another side of her life. I can't turn her into me I know. But I can try to balance out her materialistic and uncaring side, with my money can't buy you the important things and will not make you happy version.
I work, go to school, see her every other week (her dad & I have shared custody), and do all this in between stuff, but there never seems to be enough time. So what do I do?!

Lost Things by Arvin Abejo Mangohig is a book about disappearances: "tropical islands," "the stories still to be told," "your real name." The task of the poet is as a recording angel, recalling from the brink of extinction everything that has been lost, urged by the voice telling him that"(a)ll this…must be written down." Part of this act of recovery is to inhabit the skin of another, to the extent that the empathy of the imagination can allow, so that "(t)ogether we will walk out of the real into our true lives." It is a life that necessarily has its eye on the end, but is endowed with a keen sense of the middle, the lived part, the "luminous thing."
Arvin Abejo Mangohig is the author of The Gaze: Poems (University of the Philippines Press, 2003) and Bloodflow: A Lyric Sequence (De La Salle University Publishing House/Central Books, 2012). He was a Fellow for Poetry for the UP National Writers Workshop 2017 and recently won second prize in the Kokoy Guevara Poetry Competition. Mangohig has BA and MA degrees from UP Diliman. He works as copy editor at the UP Press.

Monitoring Realization of the RtAF
A rights-based approach leads to a closer look at causes of hunger: In a world of plenty: how is it possible that still so many people lack access to adequate food? There are differences between countries, but also within countries and even within households. At all these levels processes take place and decisions are taken that either promote or inhibit the realization of the right to food.
At global level one can think about decisions to use food for non-food uses (biofuels) and mismanagement of public goods that prevent the fulfillment of the right to food. There are also factors that have an impact on public goods (such as climate change) that intergovernmental institutes should try to positively influence to respect en protect the right to food.
At national level, factors that impede or promote access to production factors such as land and water are important. In general one could say that national governments should promote an enabling environment for a progressive implementation of the right adequate food for all. Concrete examples of progress in this respect are the Voluntary guidelines for the progressive implementation of the right to food, adopted in 2004. The set of 19 guidelines provide governments with a basic framework for action in order to fulflil the right to food. In May 2012, Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of land, fisheries and forests in the context of national food security were issued 1, further specifying the roles and desired actions of national governments.
Finally at micro level or household level the (power) relation between male and female household members is important and often determines intra-household dynamics: who takes decisions about the distribution and use of food within the household?
The progressive realization of the Right to Adequate Food and related obligations will not happen unless states develop a culture of human rights and unless civil society uses the tools available to monitor efforts and results of states and hold them accountable.
Public pressure can be a powerful means of holding governments and intergovernmental bodies accountable for their policies and programs, and to assess the degree to which states are meeting their obligations to respect, protect and fulfill the human right to adequate food of every person.
The United Nations Committee on World Food Security (CFS) is the foremost inclusive government-led global platform on food and nutrition security. The CFS holds the potential to play an important role in the necessary reporting and accountability mechanism. For this the CFS should be firmly supported by FAO and WHO and safeguarded against undue corporate influence.
|Tools for Monitoring the realization of the RtAF
Civil society organizations and other relevant actors should be aware of the existence and implications of these tools for the tasks, responsibilities and obligations of the public as well as private sector. Civil society organizations as well as all other sectors should be equipped to apply these tools.
Involved RtAF actors
An important actor in this area is FIAN International4, which is and international human rights organization that has advocated for the realization of the right to adequate food for more than 25 years. FIAN consists of national sections and individual members in over 50 countries around the world. It is a not-for-profit organization without any religious or political affiliation and has consultative status to the United Nations. FIAN's mission is to expose violations of people's right to food wherever they may occur. FIAN follows a case based human rights approach by documenting and analyzing concrete violations of the right to food. Additionally, monitoring reports, referred to as "parallel reports," are presented regularly to different UN human rights bodies such as the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR), Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), and others.
To be effective, public pressure needs to be evidence-based. One of the monitoring tools developed by ICCO-cooperation and FIAN together with a host of partner civil society organizations is the annual publication Right to Food Watch5. This international publication was launched in 2008 to monitor the concept of food as a human right and keep track of patterns of right to food violations while also monitoring their impact. It provides a systematic compilation of best practices for the realization of the right to food and also documents where violations have been committed.
Currently the WATCH is the flagship publication of the Global Network on the Right to Food and Nutrition, composed of 20 people´s organizations and NGOs, committed to fighting hunger and all forms of malnutrition with Human Rights.
FAO has elaborated a practical aid for the implementation of the Right to Food Guidelines. It emphasizes the operational aspects of the right to food and contributes to strengthening in-country capacity to implement this right.
Another important actor is the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food. For the period of 2008- mid 2014 this position has been held by Prof. Olivier de Schutter, with the following mandate:
To promote the full realization of the right to food and the adoption of measures at the national, regional and international levels for the realization of the right of everyone to adequate food and the fundamental right of everyone to be free from hunger so as to be able fully to develop and maintain their physical and mental capacities.
Since June 2014 Mrs Hilal Elver has taken over the position of UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food.

Hello fans and supporters of Source Gaming! Another month has passed us by, and it's time for another update.
This month, operating costs were relatively minimal. We purchased only a couple copies of Famitsu Weekly. The rest of the money will go towards providing support for E3, and to pay back the server costs/past magazines.
Spazzy, SmashChu and Neo Zero are still planning on attending E3. Attending E3 will allow us to provide coverage to you guys straight from the source. Even though Nintendo has announced a limited show, we think attending E3 will provide us with a good opportunity for outreach.
This month we interviewed John Szczepaniak, author of The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers, and covered an interesting change in the latest patch. Soma spearheaded the translation of the Melee website this month (Month of May-lee!). This is a huge undertaking and represents the first time that these pages are available in English. I hope the Smash community can use these pages to learn more about Melee and the history of Smash. Nantendo wrote an amazing analysis of what Nintendo's partners could be working on too. We also added two editors to the team: MaskO' and A10TheHero. See the whole staff list here! Having so many people be involved is essential since Source Gaming does a lot of original research.
The feedback from the Mega Smash Poll has been pretty positive. Thank you! A lot of people want more translations, and better podcasts/discussions…so we will be working on that. We are working on producing original music for the podcast and discussion. Backers can listen to the sample of the introduction right now! The music is being produced by Crane043, and you can check out his SoundCloud here. We really appreciate all the positive feedback we've been getting!
We have several huge projects in the pipeline. I'm excited to be working on a script for a huge YouTube channel…with the possibility of doing more in the future. The video will further promote Source Gaming and our content. Stay tuned for more details and information!
Please consider donating to our Patreon!
Thank you all for your support!

Tomorrow's Talent
Drama groups across the land are preparing performances for the National Theatre's "connections" project. Tomorrow's Talent [like their counterparts in Southend and Colchester] have chosen Hospital Food, Eugene O'Hare's hard-hitting piece set in a teenage cancer unit.
Before the regional performance in Stratford East, it's previewing at TT's Danbury HQ.
Ten youngsters, in pajamas and lounge pants, hair loss concealed with bandanas and woolly hats. Sofas, Angry Birds, drip-stands, television.
In this production, directed by Gavin Wilkinson with Amy Trigg, there's a strong sense of shared experience, and a tremendous ensemble performance. Having all the actors present but immobile during the central duologue is especially effective.
But, inevitably, in the fifty minute piece, some characters are more developed than others. The dramatic core is the imminent departure of Gus, three Christmases, four birthdays in hospital. He longs not just to live, but to be alive. In desperation, his mother has arranged for "alternative healing" in the States. He must abscond. No-one must know. He tells his friends in their hang-out day-room. But the code decrees that anything shared in the Retreat stays in the Retreat …
Mark Ellis brings an intelligent self-awareness to the role, his doubts and fears etched on his face. He dreams of screaming out the tumours, and of soaring to freedom above the floor of clouds. Two friends are particularly affected by the news. Josh – his "brother" - a movingly honest performance by Danny McNamara – chides him, in a powerful duologue, for not confiding in him first. And, tragically, can't say the things he's going to wish he'd said... Layna [Hazel Ellender], who's painfully fond of Gus, is tempted to betray him.
Memorable contributions, too, from Alexander Bloom's Sol, a swot always stuck in a Revision Guide, who lends Gus the key which will enable his escape. From Scott Olley as not-the-sharpest Reece, who almost gives the game away. And from Erin Jacobs' Sadie, the baby of the family, who's lost a ring, and who movingly remembers the secret passing of her dog Reuben, and sees death as the deepest of deep sleeps.
The piece is full of telling detail: the Remembering Nights with movies chosen by the kids who've died, the other desperate parents, turning to the internet or exorcism.
The music is well chosen. "All Those Things" from the Killers: "when there's nowhere else to run, is there room for one more sun ? - I got soul, but I'm not a soldier". And at the end, as Gus rips the cannula from his hand, vomits ["my tears have this solemn rest"] and slips away, leaving his woolly hat for Josh to find, we hear Benjamin Clementine's Cornerstone: Friends I have met, Lovers have slept and wept - I have been lonely, alone in a box of my own …
His friends file off in tearful despair, and it's a harrowing experience for the audience too, as these talented youngsters explore issues of family, friendship and death in their own wonderfully frank way.

Wildlife on Silver Lake
The environs of Silver Lake host a variety of wildlife co-existing together in harmony with it's residents. How fortunate we are to catch a glimpse of a mother Turkey with her brood, a Mallard on her nest, a family of Swans gliding gently across the lake, or the call of a loon at sunset! To watch the otters at play in the winter, the deer at the shore for a drink, a beaver or muskrat making it's way across the water. After sunset a bat swoops low over the water, a welcome sight as the mosquito population decreases...
Remember - Harrassing Wildlife is Illegal! if you see someone threatening or harrassing any wildlife, please call the DNR 24 hour Wildlife Harrassment Dispatch Center at 800-292-7800.
A Mother Turtle digs her nest and deposits her eggs, not an unusual occurance in our neighborhoods, but not always captured on camera. (June 13, 2016)
Informational: These mothers usually choose the gravel along the roadside and will hollow out several spots to lay and bury their eggs, usually in close proximity to the water. If you see these little mounds please be mindful not to disturb. (The neighbor who captured this special moment placed a guard to warn drivers - thank you!)

Loon Report - 2017, Annual Meeting 08-05-2017
Update on Loon Nesting Buoys2017 SILVER LAKE LOON REPORT, Sherry McNamara, Loon Ranger
At last year's Annual Meeting the use of buoys that indicated there were nesting loons in the area was discussed. The board felt that the buoys would attract more attention to the nesting area rather than keep people away. The loons are generally fairly well camouflaged while on the nest.
Loon Update
The male loon arrived at the end of March (I heard him calling as he flew over) and I finally saw him on the lake on April 2nd. The female was here by April 16th when I spotted the pair swimming together. By the end of April they were scouting nest locations and successfully built a nest about the middle of May. I think this is the same pair as we had last year (but a different pair than we had here for many years prior to that). Since they were unsuccessful in having a viable egg in 2016, they chose a different nesting location this year. This is not in a very private location. Incubation lasts between 26 and 28 days and I felt they had the cool, rainy weather on their side since there was much less boat traffic and people in the water during April and May.
Two chicks were born on or about May 6 and by the evening of May 7 they were off the nest and would never go back to it after that and will spend the rest of their life in the water. Within about 10 days the chicks were learning to dive for food like their parents, but will still be supplementary fed by the parents well into August.
By the middle of July the chicks are moving further away (or the parents are giving them a lot of leeway) and I often saw one of the chicks very far from mom and dad. About this time, the little ones start testing their wings, flapping, standing up in the water, but as of this writing are not quite yet ready to fly, but you many see them "running" across the surface of the water. The adults will leave the lake in the fall, roughly October, and the chicks will stay on the lake a bit longer and leave on their own just before the lake ices-in. It's amazing isn't it how they can find their way to the southern warm waters off the coast of Florida!
About this time of year, you will notice flocks of loons that come to fish on the lake. I have seen up to 10 together at a time. Also, you may notice that the Bald Eagle has been flying overhead and looking for his prospective dinner. The adult loons seem to spot the eagle from quite a distance off and call out a warning to the chicks who come quickly to gather close to mom and dad. The chicks are nearing the size of the parents at this point, but still have brown eyes (not yet red like the adults) and are still fairly gray in color resembling the adult's winter plumage. However, with binoculars you can start to discern their markings - they will stay muted in color like this until they are ready to return to the northern area. When the chicks are about 2-2 1/2 years old, they will return here to their "natal lake" (lake where they were born). They will not be ready to breed until they are about 6-7 years old.
Boats, sailboats, jet skis, etc. still continue to get too close - even when the parents call out a warning to back off. Some seem to think that calling back is a fun game that the loon is playing with them, but failing to understand they are wishing people to back off! I see lots of boats cruising and looking at houses along the shore and several times have not only just missed the chicks in front of them, but also have separated the chicks from the parents by cutting right between them when the boat driver was not looking where he was going. Not sure how to stop this practice.
If anyone has anything to share regarding the loons you can contact Sherry McNamara at email@example.com
In the fall of 2014, the SLIA board approved a committee to be headed by Sherry McNamara to be our "Loon Ranger" and represent our group with the Michigan Loon Preservation Assn. This is her introductory letter, published in the October, 2014 Newsletter.
Adventure in Loonology
For most of my life, I have been interested and intrigued by birds, moving to the lake has provided me the opportunity to enjoy the waterfowl, particularly the Loons. I was fortunate to have a neighbor, Henry Wise, as a wonderful mentor, providing tidbits of knowledge to me about them. He had been a Loon Ranger for many years, monitoring several lakes in the area. When he moved from the lake, I sought to replace him as the ranger forSilverLake!
Unfortunately, this season, our Loons have not produced any offspring. They tried to nest down at the south end, but turtles and kayakers disturbed them and they were soon put off the nest. With the higher lake level, they just didn't seem able to find another suitable nesting site.
Nonetheless, this is going to be an exciting adventure in "Loonology." I am now a member of the Michigan Loon Preservation Association (MLPA) and part of my duties as the Loon Ranger is to report specific data to them each year. Since SilverLakeis a big lake and many of you take pleasure in our Loons, the SLIA board thought perhaps you might like to assist me in the Loon reporting. To that end, I have set up a Loon email address for you to correspond with me at email@example.com.
The type of useful information would be when you first spot the Loon(s) arrival in the spring, (typically mid April - mid May). An important statistic would be the number of pairs of Loons you see. (But, to be accurate, you would have to see all of them at the same time, you could not presume that a pair sighted in one location is different than a pair sighted later in another). If you spot a nest, I would need to know the site. If there are chicks, please provide how many and the date you first saw them. The final bit of data would be when you last see them at the end of the season. The adults normally leave in Sept/Oct. The chicks do not migrate with the parents, but leave later, perhaps November or possibly December.
I am excited about this opportunity to be the Silver Lake Loon Ranger and I hope you will join me in my pursuit of observing and monitoring our Loons! . . .Sherry McNamara, Silver Lake Loon Ranger
Remember - Harrassing Wildlife is Illegal! if you see someone threatening the Loons, please call the DNR 24 hour Wildlife Harrassment Dispatch Center at 800-292-7800!
While we do treasure our wildlife - we must co-exist with the problems they sometimes bring as well. Swimmer`s Itch is NOT FUN! The following article and graphic is very informative.
PLEASE DON`T FEED THE DUCKS! As part of the lake community, wild ducks and geese feed on plants and other aquatic organisms. The ducks eat the plants and remove a fraction of the nutrients, then excrete nutrients which support new plant growth. This is a natural cycle, but when man establishes waterfowl feeding programs, it increases waterfowl numbers, and more nutrients enter the lake.
For example, scientists estimate a duck excretes 0.9 pounds of phosphorus annually. They have also estimated that under the appropriate conditions, one pound of phosphorus can stimulate five hundred pounds of weed and algae growth. It becomes obvious that a feeding program which supports a large population of semi-domesticated ducks can contribute hundreds of pounds of phosphorus per year to a lake, to cause unnatural weed and algae growth.
Waterfowl are a natural part of lake communities. They should be enjoyed, and encouraged to stay on the lake through habitat and nesting improvement programs, but not through continuous artificial feeding programs.

It is becoming more and more evident that we need to start recovering our nutrients.
An economically feasible and sustainable solution is to dry sewage sludge and manure, incinerate/gasify them, produce energy and convert the ashes to fertilizer. An energy efficient dryer is needed for this approach.
The aim of this project has been to show that an energy efficient dryer, the Outotec Biomass CLS Dryer, for sewage sludge and manure is ready for use in incineration processes to recover energy and phosphates.
The project is near completion and drying test results have been successful thus far. Long term testing ("sustained operation") is still ongoing.

Map Skills
A representation of all or part of the earth's surface.
Some maps show the surface of the entire world, but most show a smaller area.
All maps share the same features: every part of a map tells you something important.
Compass rose: points out direction
Latitude and Longitude: imaginary lines that form a grid over the earth.
Grid: a pattern of lines that cross one another. It is used to locate places on the map.
Inset: a small map related to a larger one.
Legend: explains what the map's symbols means
scale: lines that tell you how much smaller the map is than the real area it represents.
1:100,000 scale
(one inch = about 1.5 miles)
projection: shows the earth's curved surface on flat paper.
Globe shows that the earth is shaped like a ball or sphere.
Lines of Latitude: cross globe from east to west between the equator and the poles.
Lines of Longtitude: funs from the North Pole to the South Pole. (Both lines are measured in degrees)
Equator: circles the middle of the earth at 0º latitude.
The northern hemisphere is North of the equator.
The Southern hemisphere is south of the equator.
Prime Meridian: runs through Western Europe and West Africa at 0º longitude.
Halfway around the world is the 180º line of longtitude.
These 2 lines divide the earth into Eastern and Western hemisphere.
Most of the world maps in this book use the Robinson projection. The sizes, shapes, and distance of land and water areas on this projection are closest to the ones on a globe.
Seasons change because the earth tilts or slants as it revolves around the sun.
Physical Map: shows the elevation of land, or its height compared to sea level.
Sometimes a physical map includes a diagram called a profile.
Earth is divided into 24 time zones agreed on by world leaders in 1884.
Time Zone Map: The zone that contains the prime meridian is the starting point of the time zone map. West of the prime meridian, the time gets earlier. Los Angeles - 7 hours earlier than the prime meridian.
When you go West across the international Date line is 180º longitude, the date immediately changes to one day later.
Historical Maps: tells about the history of a group of people or a part of the world.
gives information about the countries that existed in the past.
some show how the boundaries of an area has changed over time.
Muslim Expansion in the
Time of Muhammad
from R. Roolvink et al., Historical Atlas of the Muslim Peoples (Amsterdam, 1957)
Route Map: shows the movement of people or goods across an area.
some route maps show the paths explorers used.
others show the roads to take on a family trip.
The Silk Route: 7,000 Miles
Cultural Map: show how all or part of one group's culture spread and influence other people.

was introduced to the Tarot (like so many others)
through a reading done with the Coleman-Waite back in
1974. I studied the deck for a few months but put it
aside when other demands on my time took increasing
precedence. In 1984 I was at the counter paying for a book in
the Toronto Women's Bookstore, when I noticed the
Motherpeace Tarot on a shelf behind the clerk. I asked her
what it was and she explained it was a feminist Tarot
deck. I burbled over with mind-altering joy, "A
feminist Tarot deck!?"
Without a second thought, I
purchased the deck and book by Vicki Noble that explained
the deck. I spent months studying and playing with
this deck. I read and reread Vicki Noble's book
several times until I felt like I had a solid grasp on her
material. In the spring of 1985, I had a brainstorm to
offer readings to women using the Motherpeace. I posted
ads up on bulletin boards offering my services at
parties. Within a surprisingly short time I was getting
invites to women's functions and parties around Toronto.
It was so gratifying to read the Tarot from a
feminist perspective! I was soon teaching this Tarot in
evening, College continuing education classes. For several
years I taught this feminist deck at senior centres
where women flocked with excitement and participated
enthusiastically with stories of their own experiences of
discrimination and connection to the Goddess. It was one of the
most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life.
The Motherpeace Tarot with its focus on the Goddess
and matriarchy was a very unusual product back in the
early '80's. It's difficult to imagine today just how
rare, revolutionary and enlightening Vicki's work was at
that time. I've often wondered throughout the years if
Vicki Noble realizes what a profound impact she has had
upon the psyches of women. Because the feminist
teachings were couched in a Tarot format many women were
attracted to the work for its enticement of play and
pleasure and garnered incredible consciousness raising
almost serendipitously.
The Motherpeace Tarot cards are
round affording more creative opportunities for
interpretation than square cards. Square cards can only be
placed upright or reversed but round cards can be used
like a dial – if it's turned down too low, the energy
is slow and perhaps even blocked. If the "dial"
points to the right, the energy of the card may be
overbearing or in some situations extreme. The names of the
cards not surprisingly, have been changed in many cases
to a more feminine foundation. For example, The
Hermit is the Crone and the Hanged Man is the Hanged One.
It is in her feminist perspective of the card's
meaning, however where Vicki shines brilliantly. The
Emperor is patriarchy (I continue to interpret the Emperor
from this perspective), and the Hierophant is the
traditional religious leader who oppresses feminine values and
her unique spiritual voice (this too lives on in my
interpretation of the Hierophant). The court cards have been
completely renamed to reflect family identities such as Son,
Daughter, Mother with the Shaman at the head of the tribe.
The meaning applied to these family members has also
been changed to reflect a more matriarchal
interpretation of the energy.
The artwork done primarily by Karen
Vogel is childlike, colourful and positive. When
observing the Motherpeace images, my Tarot students would
often comment on how delightfully engaging and uplifting
the imagery was to work with compared with some of the
darker imagery seen in the more classic decks. Vicki's
interpretative work also guides the Tarotist to read in a
positive and constructive fashion. This deck is empowering
to women and fosters feelings of strong personal
agency and appreciation for the feminine in general.
people teaching a Goddess course this set should be on
their reading list and for those Tarotists who are tired
of the traditional deck or wish to explore an
alternative approach to Tarot, you will find this work deeply
satisfying and thought provoking. It's not easy, simple or
superficial however, and I'd advise you to be prepared to
dedicate many hours to learning this deck well. It will
alter your relationship to the Tarot more profoundly
than any other deck on the market. Motherpeace
generated a wave of conscious awareness across the globe
whose ripples continue to flow to this day. In 2013,
Motherpeace celebrated its 30th anniversary and continues to
sell thousands of copies yearly. Like anything that is
true and honourable it will prevail for many, many

What is Scuba Diving?
Scuba diving is a form of underwater diving in which a diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) to breathe underwater.
Unlike other modes of diving, which rely either on breath-hold or on air pumped from the surface, scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas, usually compressed air, allowing them greater freedom of movement than with an air line or diver's umbilical and longer underwater endurance than breath-hold.
The equipment used by a scuba diver is the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus which allows the diver to breathe while diving, and is transported by the diver. Also needed are flippers/fins, a diving mask and a wetsuit.
- The term "SCUBA" (an acronym for "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus") originally referred to United States combat frogmen's oxygen rebreathers, developed during World War II by Christian J. Lambertsen for underwater warfare.

I am not just being a smart-arse here, there's a point:
If someone interprets your actions and stated intents clearly in a specific way, are you then actually saying that, to that person?
If you offer to take some kids to the beach, some parents will hear you offering free babysitting. In a way, that is exactly what you are doing.
I am not saying that you need to take responsibility for everything everyone interprets you as saying, but we need to acknowledge that there will be people interpreting our actions in ways that goes against our actual intent.
There's a greater political discussion hiding in this, but I will not be specific about it as it is still one of our taboos. It does not matter if our intent is good, well-meaning, compassionate and empatic, there are people who will interpret it as an open invitation for exploitation.

The first major free-agent signing of the off-season, the St. Louis Cardinals' acquisition of shortstop Jhonny Peralta, has exposed still-open wounds in Major League Baseball on the topic of performance-enhancing drugs.
Peralta was among 12 players who accepted 50-game suspensions after evidence linking him to the use of banned substances surfaced during baseball's investigation of a closed South Florida anti-aging clinic. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun received a 65-game suspension for his connection to that case. New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is appealing his ban.
Peralta hit a career-high .303 and made the American League All-Star team in 2012, and at least one major league player has complained that Peralta is being rewarded for drug use. Peralta's deal is for four years and $52 million. He was paid $6 million last season.
"It pays to cheat. Thanks, owners, for encouraging PED use," Arizona reliever Brad Ziegler, the Diamondbacks' union representative, tweeted after Peralta's signing was announced.

Joe Fiorito of The Toronto Star January 31, 2011Posted by huymix in News, Politics.

1 comment so far
I'm sorry but I had all but abandoned this blog. From now on, this blog might only post when I have particularly strong feelings, one way or another, towards something. Even then, it would have to overcome my innate laziness. I will try to keep the posts short, again due to laziness, but I won't have a particular devotion to the previous 3 bullet point format.
So when I post something, you gotta know, that the topic that I'm posting about has gotten to me.
Today's topic: The Toronto Star columnist: Joe Fiorito
I think what has really turned me against Mr. Fiorito has been his more recent coverage of the TTC service cuts. I'll invite you to check out a couple of his recent articles:
The Toronto Star: Cuts threaten bus service to Toronto's deaf-blind community
The Toronto Star: Hiding in the back of the bus
You might be asking what is your beef with these articles? Well, I have a few points to make:
- His short, conversation style is fine except that he will take it too far to the point that it can feel childish. For example: "In. The. Entire. Country." when he already wrote that it was for the entire country. Maybe it was written for emphasis, but I think he has already made his point before that and writing that does not add to the point.
- He's essentially written the same talking points over and over again. TTC cuts means some people, including less capable people in some ways, will not have service. Almost by definition, a service cut to anything means some people will not have service. In each article, he's written that same point just using different examples. I'm sorry for those people that do get service cut, but this point is hardly surprising and certainly does not warrant so much coverage.
- The bias runs a bit too deep. He is writing a column and not the straight news and thus he is allowed his personal bias to show more. However, his articles do not have a hint of consideration for an alternative perspective and puts his credibility at stake. I think that his writing makes him seem like he is completely unwilling to listen to a different perspective and that can mean people will be less likely to believe what he is saying is based on sound and reasonable judgment. There are probably good reasons why those service cuts are being made and in his writing, none of those reasons feel like they have been explored.
Nothing I am saying is meant to criticize Joe Fiorito the person. I do not pretend to know him or know anything about what he believes. I'm only looking at it from the perspective of a Star reader. Maybe he isn't everything I think his writing makes him out to be. Maybe, but I certainly cannot tell from his writing.
Conclusion: He needs to work out whether he has already made his point and move on.
The Tube July 27, 2009Posted by huymix in Random.

add a comment
The London Underground ("Tube") pretty much does one thing very well. They get you from point A to point B fairly easily. Unfortunately for me, that's not the only factor I care about. While the Tube does have a pretty regular schedule and covers a good area, there are other factors that ultimately make taking the Tube a gigantic pain. If you're in London, be prepared for the Tube because:
- It's not cheap. A day pass can be pretty hefty and thus present a problem of offering sufficient value-for-money to the Tube's passengers.
- It's uncomfortable. When you get to the station above ground it can take a full 5 – 10 minutes to actually get to the platform (depends on which station) because of the often long walk and many staircases. Added to that, the train itself is often hot (not air conditioned) and cramped (very low ceilings, even at 5'10" I have to bend to fit.
- It can be dangerous. The TTC here has signs that say to "Mind the Gap" and the Tube also has the same slogan. In comparison, the TTC gaps are incredibly small to the virtual chasm on some Tube stations. Also, the stairwells are very high and steep, a fall could seriously mess you up.
I suppose at the end of the day the Tube is still widely used by tourist and commuter alike regardless of the above. I think its less to do with the competance of the Tube as a system and more to do with the power of monopoly. I'm sorry but for a much touted world-class system, the Tube is a disappointment.

Adam Giambrone (Chair of TTC)
To be clear, I have never met him personally, shook his hand or really stood in his overall presence. The closest I really got is at a discussion in an auditorium on gridlock. So this review is more about stuff he says and some things I notice. Also, I don't want to imply that being the Chair of the TTC is an easy job or anything about TTC employees, this is strictly a commentary on Adam Giambrone the public persona.
- Qualifications to be the Chair are unclear. Archaeologist to Politician to Chair of TTC. Maybe he does a fine job as Chair, but unless that's proven, his qualifications are not clearly linked.
- Spin, spin, and more spin. Quote from his Twitter "LRTs will be very similar to streetcars with the most notable difference being dedicated transit lanes". I'm pretty sure streetcars still have dedicated lanes, not all, but there are definitely some. Besides, if that's the biggest difference, it doesn't seem like an improvement and feels more like spin.
- Applies inconsistent logic. Stating that the TTC parking is unfairly subsidized but still running bus service to nobody. Just be honest about the real reason for charging for parking, which is to raise money.
I could definitely go a lot deeper into the individual points raised above, so e-mail me if you want a fuller explanation. A lot of my criticism is due to his time at the TTC and his very public voice over TTC matters. He very well may be competent or even good as a Chair, but unless he can fix the above points I will never be able to really say his legacy was one of competence or transparency. Thanks for your work Mr. Giambrone, but based on you I would rather the Chair of TTC be a non-politician any day.
TTC Elevator Guide: Move With the Grooves February 28, 2009Posted by huymix in Advertising.

This is an actual pamphlet the TTC produces and distributes. This pamphlet, like many other non-transit related efforts sucks (TTC store in Union station I'm looking at you), here's why:
- The advice is pretty stupid.
- Whatever it cost to come up with this campaign, it was too much.
- Why is the escalator the focus for safety? What about getting shot on the platform or pushed on the stairs? Ugh, how do they even prioritize the escaltor above other more important safety considerations?
Ultimately, I still use the TTC everyday. But I'm not a fan. Just for spite, I'm gonna have to start not following this pamphlet. And where the heck is my Mallrats reference? Talk about pure failure.

Next month I have a great opportunity. There is going to be this small fair in Niles. I am going to be kind of co-sponsoring a booth at it. I will be there w/ the nonprofit that I volunteer for, but I also get to advertise myself as a doula. I'm excited:)
I go back and forth. I don't do many births. There are times when I talk to other doulas and think, man, I wish I could get that many! But then, realistically, it wouldn't work for my family. I am not prepared to pay a baby sitter right now. And my kids are not prepared to spend the day w/ one. In a conversation w/ my daughter recently I asked her when she was going to stop sucking her thumb, she remarked that she had tried to stop, but then we had all those days at the baby sitters...we recently had some days at the sitters b/c dh's mom had to spend some time in the hospital.
I am a stay at home mom for a reason, b/c I feel I was called here. I also feel I was called to be a doula. And, if I go way back to the beginning, I can remember sitting in a church service and the Lord telling me that He would bring me the clients He wanted me to have. So, maybe I won't be a money making doula, which, let's face it, who is in it for the money?? And maybe I won't be a high number clientele doula, which, I couldn't handle anyway.. but, I'll keep doing what I'm doing. And I'll have the clients that I'm supposed to have, and the timing will be right for all of them.
But if I come across an opportunity to advertise, I'll do it! B/c who says God can't bring me someone that way?!

Mozart & Salieri: A Requiem for Mozart #ClassicalCalgary (Mozart in the City)
Mozart & Salieri
A Requiem for Mozart
On Saturday October 30th, my wife and I went to the Epcor Centre for Performing Arts to watch the Opera "Mozart & Salieri", with tickets courtesy of Visit Calgary and the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. Little did I know when I picked this date that the Opera was actually the work of Rimsky-Korsakov (of Flight of the Bumblebee fame – if you like this song you should watch the movie "Shine" with Geoffrey Rush. Total classic, but I digress).
So, we left our son with some friends, and took off on our date to the Opera. When we arrived, our tickets were waiting at the call table and we proceeded to have a quick drink before going into the seating area. I have to say that, not having been to the Jack Singer Concert Hall before, I was impressed with the quality of the finishes and the acoustics of the place. The structure supporting the lights and the projection screen were set up in a non-invasive, non-ugly way, contrary to how lighting structures and equipment usually are. That was a definitely a plus. The chairs were simple, but comfortable, as it should be.
The arrangement of the stage was interesting and different as well: the Orchestra was set up on the main stage to showcase the talent of all the musicians. The mini-stage for the actors was set up in front of it, slightly lower but with excellent care taken to not ruin the sight lines of the spectators. A table with writing papers, ink and a feather, two chairs, and a harpsichord with its bench were all that was necessary. As I am minimalistic in almost all things, I saw the restrained setting also as a plus.
Now, on to the performance itself: Maestro Roberto Minczuk conducted a splendid overture prior to the appearance on scene of the actors. Maestro Minczuk is obviously a man who is comfortable in his own skin. He takes a relaxed, yet fully professional approach to conducting. More than anything, his best skill is that he obviously enjoys good music, which is something hard to come by in these days when showmanship and pyrotechnics are all that many performers care about (I'm thinking of a certain pianist from China who's all show and no substance, but won't get too carried away here).
I was mesmerized by the opening scene with the baritone (John Avey) who plays Salieri. Maestro Salieri happens to be lamenting the musical talent that God has given such a lowly creature like Herr Mozart. Salieri then thinks of some of his own tunes, at which time Rosana Lamosa appears on scene to sing one of them in the most delightful soprano. Mozart (Fernando Portari) then joins the scene, more singing happens between them, until Salieri proceeds to poison Mozart. Salieri is then left contemplating the meaning of Mozart's words, that "villainy and genius are incompatible…"
The cast has been well put together. It is obvious that all the actors are professionals and put a lot of work into their performances. As a side note, one thing that has always annoyed me somewhat is that the public usually cheers more loudly the performances of the tenor and the soprano, who are usually the leads, regardless of who actually happened to have the best performance. In this case, I would attribute such best performance to the baritone: Mr. Avey's Salieri. What surprised me the most was how much I enjoyed Mr. Avey's performance both in terms of his singing, as well as his animated expressions on scene. It was fantastic to see how his Salieri character truly enjoyed the highest emotions while thinking of his own music, as well as his tears and sorrow when listening to Herr Mozart's divine melodies and harmonies. Of course it doesn't hurt that the Russian language happens to be rather guttural, and it suits lower voice registers quite well (I'm thinking here of some Rachmaninoff's choral works). I even managed to catch a few "Das vidanye's", "Ja's" and "Nyet's".
I will go on the assumption that the very long silence during the transition to the Requiem was fully planned to enhance the eerie, spooky atmosphere that we were left with when Mozart leaves after being poisoned by his rival (Beethoven used silence as one of the most powerful elements in his music. His use of silence has always been unmatched). Then, of course, we were led to the Requiem…
The power of the drums, the way the strings support the harmony and the careful execution leave you shivering, overwhelmed with emotion. The bassoons, horns, trumpets and trombones round up a well-crafted ensemble that delivers on the powers of music for the dead. From the opening of the Requiem and the Kyrie, to the Confutatis and the Lacrimosa, Maestro Minczuk and the Orchestra were fantastic. The Choir delivered quite well on what is a difficult piece with multiple voice lines and tempos going at the same time. The atmosphere was electric.
When, sadly, the end came with the Amen subtly woven into the unfinished piece (let's remember that according to history, the Requiem was actually left unfinished) everyone was left expectant in their seats for just a second before the applauses rained.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing what will be in store for tonight's performance. The last one was a delight. Kudos to everyone in the production crew.

PEARLAND, Texas (KTRK) --Authorities in Brazoria County are awaiting blood work to confirm whether or not a Pearland student has measles.
Health officials told Eyewitness News a student at Sablatura Middle School in Pearland was out of class for four days but is now back at school after experiencing symptoms of the infectious disease.
A male and female teacher, and a sibling of the student who were possibly infected have been cleared by health officials.
While measles had been eliminated in the U.S. since 2000, large measles outbreaks have been reported in Western Europe, Pakistan, Vietnam and the Philippines in recent years, officials said.
In 2014, 288 cases were reported in the United States.
Measles: What does an infection look like?
Measles is an airborne disease that is easily spread, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Measles usually starts with a fever, and soon causes a cough, runny nose, and red eyes. Then a rash of tiny, red spots breaks out.
The CDC said measles starts at the head and spreads to the rest of the body. Measles can be serious for young children, leading to pneumonia, encephalitis (swelling of the brain), and death.
ORIGINAL REPORT: Brazoria Co. officials confirm measles case
