A few weeks ago due to some really good investigative journalism in Spokane, Washington, it was found that Spokane Mayor Jim West, known for his anti-gay rights conservatism, was found to be soliciting men on Gay.com.
The Seattle Post Intelligencer reports…
Spokane Mayor Jim West, who championed an anti-gay agenda during his tenure as one of the most powerful Republicans in the Legislature, yesterday admitted to using the trappings of his current office to entice what he thought was a young adult man but denied allegations that he molested two young boys more than 20 years ago.
West confirmed to The Spokesman-Review of Spokane that he offered gifts, favors and a City Hall internship during Internet chats with a man he believed was 18. The online pen pal was actually a forensic computer expert working for the newspaper. After the story hit the newsstands yesterday, West sent city staffers a remorseful e-mail.
"I want to sincerely apologize to you personally for the shame I have brought to the Mayor's office and the city," West wrote. "I stumbled and let you down."
The accusations of child molestation stem from The Spokesman-Review's three-year investigation and interviews with two felons who said West fondled them and forced them to perform sexual acts on him when they were Boy Scouts.
The accounts have not been confirmed or dismissed by law enforcement officials, and no investigations are planned.
Nonetheless, West's tacit acknowledgement of gay sex sent political shock waves across the state.
In more than 20 years in the Legislature, West had initiated legislation to outlaw sexual contact between consenting teenagers; supported a bill that would have barred gays and lesbians from working for schools, day care centers and some state agencies; voted to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman; and, as Senate majority leader, allowed a bill that would ban discrimination against gays and lesbians to die in committee without a hearing.
SCANDAL! This happened at the beginning of the month, but the contraversy continues with West refusing to resign from his mayoral post. Talk about being in the closet. Now if only all the other anti-gay rights politicians would come out of the closet we could get somewhere already!

What astonishes me about this is that he now portrays himself as someone who is being attacked for his sexual orientation. While there might be some element of that within Spokane politics, can anyone else think of a heterosexual politician who offered a job to someone in return for sexual favors being allowed to remain in office?
B.D. – it's more than even the fact that he offered political favors in return for sex, it's the fact that he openly proposed and promoted policies that discriminate against gay people and then when it comes out that he is gay turns around and claims discrimination for his sexual orientation. He can't have it both ways – if he wants to propose legislation that discriminates against gay people, he can't get upset when people start treating him unfairly. Maybe now that he sees what it's like to be discriminated against for your sexual orientation he won't be so quick to propose discriminatory legislation – though somehow it doesn't seem like this man has that much self knowledge.
We've seen this before and we'll see it again. Individuals with some socially condemned feelings or behavior actively identify with their suppression while secretly being driven by who they are. The priests who (I believe) frequently joined the church in the hopes that it would somehow magically stop their sexual drives and then engaged in the most vile behavior are an example.
Quite simply the fiercest most hateful critics of anything often include those who fear that quality in themselves. For example most evangelicals believe homsexuality wrong, but they don't rank it paramount on a very long list of sins. But individuals who are or fear they are ("male bonding" has many homoerotic elements) can't get off the subject, obsess on it and frequently turn out to be hypocrites without honor. To go along with the prejudices of society and hide oneself is one thing, to escalate and exploit these prejudices indicates a sickness and probable extreme self hate. "Tail gunner" Joe McCarthy's "brain" Roy Cohn was another rightist of this type.
This terrible distortion of the human is another reason to make gayness acceptable.
Andrea – I agree. I was just avoiding the obvious hyporcrisy issue which is being covered quite well in the local Seattle papers (well, The Stranger, at least). He deserves a special hell like most people who practice such destructive to others hypocrisy. I merely wanted to address the political position on a more superficial level.

Opinion: Good pay attracts elite cops
By David North
NASSAU, N.Y. — A reach to cut the cost of police services in Suffolk may exceed the grasp of notoriously tightfisted County Executive Steve Levy, but if he's successful, his reach could cause a rumble in Nassau.

Woodworker's Journal
The saw features a rail forward design which increases precision and creates a compact footprint while preventing head play for accurate cuts. Cuts can be aligned from the left or right side using dual lasers, which also feature three axis adjustment controls for fine-tuning. The lasers define the material which will be removed during the cut. There's also a micro-adjustable bevel angle with up-front rotary knob. A large stainless-steel bevel scale and fine pointers make it easy to set precise bevel angles. The bevel adjustment on the Kapex is counter spring balanced so you can position the bevel at any angle and the head will stay in position, even when it is not locked in place. This makes angle adjustment less tedious and more accurate.
Kapex incorporates a special cutting position that, when employed, provides greater than usual cutting capacity by utilizing the back portion of the blade more effectively. The Kapex is locked into the special cutting position with the flip of a lever. It will cut crown moulding up to 6-5/8" when in the nested position, providing a cutting capacity equal to most 12-in. miter saws. You can cut material standing vertically against the fence up to 4-3/4-in. wide by 3/4-in. thick.
The machine features a direct-drive 1,600-watt motor for more efficient transfer of energy to its thin-kerf blade, and Festool's multi-material control (MMC) electronics provide constant blade speed under load as well as variable speed control to match the correct blade speed with the material being cut.
Festool estimates Kapex to be up to 91 percent effective at collecting dust produced during cutting, with its behind-the-cut dust hood and when connected to a Festool CT 22 or CT 33 dust extractor. A pivoting 36 mm hose channels the dust away from the saw.
The Kapex KS 120's street price (for the base model) is $1350; other combo package options are also available that include various Festool dust extractor models. Learn more about the tool and its many unique features by clicking here.

Gamecast: October 2nd vs. Diamondbacks - Three Games Left Edition
Billy Buckner (3-6, 6.59 ERA) vs. Tom Gorzelanny (7-2, 4.20 ERA)
Story Lines
This is not going to be long and neither is the reminder of the season. The Cubs caught a break last night when the sky opened and washed away another fantasic preformance.
All kidding aside, the Cubs and D-Backs are playing for nothing. It will be interesting to see how Gorzelanny pitches as he tries to get a rotation spot for next season.
Who's Hot
Jim Tracy - Nothing like taking over a job in June and turning it into gold. The Rockies clinch a playoff spot, and it will be good for Tracy's pocketbooks next year.
Who's Not
Matt Diaz - Anybody see the great baserunning from Matt the other night? Ouch! That is a great way to lose a game. Maybe the Cubs can figure out something like that.
Enjoy your weekend and get ready for an interesting football weekend.

MLB News
American League Preview from The Sports Network
Saturday, June 21 (All times Eastern)
Chicago White Sox (35-39) at Minnesota Twins (34-38), 2:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Chicago - Andre Rienzo (4-4, 5.67) Minnesota - Kevin Correia (3-8, 5.29)
(SportsNetwork.com) - Chicago White Sox pitcher Andre Rienzo has had a rough stretch of outings on the mound, having lost his last four games in a row. But he and the White Sox will look to turn things around on Saturday as they visit the Minnesota Twins for the third match of a four-game series at Target Field.
The Twins will counter with another struggling pitcher in Kevin Correia. Both enter the contest sporting earned run averages over 5.00.
Rienzo was rocked once again on Sunday. He picked up his fourth consecutive loss after a six-inning effort against the Royals in which he surrendered six runs and struck out just three batters. The Royals won the game, 6-3.
Rienzo was 4-0 on the year before the slide kicked in. He sits on a 4-4 record entering this contest with a 5.67 ERA and 41 strikeouts. He's allowed 18 earned runs in his last 18 innings of work, but will still hold his spot in the pitching rotation for now.
"Right now we're going to keep going with it," manager Robin Ventura said. "We'll reassess that, but he's just got to pitch better."
Meanwhile, the Twins will send Correia to the mound for the start. Correia (3-8, 5.29 ERA) has picked up losses in three of his last five outings, though his most recent defeat wasn't a bad one by any means.
Against Boston on Monday, Correia went six innings and surrendered just one earned run on five hits. But it was enough for the Red Sox, who held on for the 1-0 win.
In his career against Chicago, Correia has made five starts with a 2-2 record and a 3.18 ERA and 23 strikeouts.
The Twins stole one from the White Sox Friday night 5-4 in walk-off fashion. In the bottom of the ninth inning with the score knotted at four apiece, Brian Dozier singled off Daniel Webb to score Eduardo Escobar for the winning run.
"He's into the game pretty good," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said about Dozier. "He's a fun player to watch play baseball."
Glen Perkins was credited with the win for Minnesota, although he lasted one inning in relief in which he allowed four hits and two earned runs.
Gordon Beckham and Jose Abreu each homered for the White Sox in the contest. Kurt Suzuki paced the Twins with three hits in the game.
Minnesota has taken two in a row against Chicago for the first time this season. Both squads are five games behind Detroit in the AL Central standings.

When I was little, my mom taught me to crochet to keep me quiet. (Smart woman!) Then, I learned to knit. I love the look of knit clothing, and the speed of crochet. In a few years, I?ll get to teach my girls how to knit and crochet, in hopes it will keep them quiet!

Funded by Wal-Mart, America's richest woman lists Jackson Hole estate
The richest woman in America has listed her home- and though it's certainly a grand one, its price barely registers among recent luxury properties we've looked at (Celine Dion's Jupiter Island estate priced at $72.5M comes to mind as a recent, striking, example). Listed at $12.5M, Walton's Jackson Hole, WY estate offers plenty of luxurious [Read More]
Celine Dion lists Jupiter Island estate for staggering price
Sure, it's gorgeous. Sure, it's huge. Okay, really, it's basically an entire resort spanning a tremendous coastal plot of a private Floridian island. But worth the asking price of $72.5M? If you're in the income bracket of Celine Dion, maybe. The famed songstress purchased this estate–and then added to it extensively– to help her relax [Read More]

This post isn't about food, and if you're a subscriber of my blog because you like food, I hope you'll read it anyway. This post is about living in Texas as a woman, and why I'll be wearing orange at the State Capitol at noon on Monday. I hope you'll join me. And if you want to read a post about food, Liz Goulding over at The Dallas Observer is killing it lately.
When I was eleven years old, my school class took a break from learning one afternoon to attend a presentation about "Aiming for Success." We filed quietly into the library where we listened to two youth pastor types give a lecture on "purity," and "self discipline." The focus of their pep-rally style presentation was sexual decision making, namely how practicing abstinence was the only possible way to achieve success as a teen. As they talked, a slide show of herpetic lesions, along with buzzwords about success and goals played behind them. There were other props, too.
"You only get one chance to unwrap a present," lectured the speaker while she held up a shiny, pink package sealed with a bow. "Once you take off that bow, it's never special again."
My eleven year-old self had never considered sexuality in this way, and I was confused. Was I the present? If so, who had wrapped me up in the first place? Did boys have bows, too? And what if I felt like unwrapping my present with a girl instead?
Nothing we discussed in the school library that day helped clear that up. We didn't talk about consent, contraceptives, or even the basic anatomy of our rapidly changing bodies. We also didn't talk about what to do if you did want to have intercourse, which seems pretty germane since up to 10% of the children in my class actually were. Instead we focused on abstinence– the one decision they said was right for everyone. At the end we all signed "purity promises," passing them around to each other like yearbooks. I kept mum about all my questions and signed the agreement.
The group presenting that talk was Aim for Success, a right-wing, abstinence only education group which was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1993. Based on my math, I was probably one of the first little girls to listen to Aim for Success, and since then they have become the nation's #1 provider of abstinence education, reaching over 2 million people. Their programs are funded with a mix of private dollars (read: PTAs, churches, etc.) and government funds (read: tax dollars.)
I attended Aim for Success programs again in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Every year the herpetic lesions on the slide show got more graphic, and we all dutifully signed the "Purity Pledges" at the end. Those days in the school library were my first bitter tastes of life as a woman in Texas. I learned that the rules are different for boys and girls in this state, and that the people in charge will coerce my sexual decision making any way they can.
Not surprisingly, by the time I hit puberty I was full of ambivalence about sexuality, both my own and that of my peers. I viewed sex as all-or-nothing. The present was either wrapped or unwrapped. It never occured to me that I might be able to explore my own needs and negotiate a mutually beneficial relationship with a supportive partner. "Once you take off that bow, it's never special again," I remembered.
My feelings towards sex began to change in the office of a Planned Parenthood when I was 16. I had been fooling around with my high school boyfriend for a while and, thank God, my mother figured out what was going on and told me to make an appointment. I skipped class one Tuesday and drove myself to the nearest clinic, about 20 minutes from my house. There, a compassionate nurse practitioner named Dolores gave me The Talk.
She showed me a model of the vulva, and helped me understand how to take care of my body. We talked about ways to say "yes" and "no" to a sexual partner, and she emphasized that my own judgement– not another person's religious belief or sexual desire– was the most important factor to consider when deciding whether to give consent. I remember being caught off guard when she asked, "What are your goals in the next few years?" before discussing my contraceptive options. It was one of the first times an adult had talked with me about my body without preaching or judging. For the first time, my choice mattered most.
These days I reject the teachings of Aim for Success and other anti-choice groups because I feel their messages are deeply damaging to women. After nearly 20 years, my confusion about that pink present metaphor has matured into anger and deep resentment towards those who use it. There are millions of women in this world who have safe pre-marital sex as part of a consensual, loving relationship. They grow up to be successful women. I am one of those women thanks in large part to Planned Parenthood. That talk with Dolores was the first step in a long road for me, one that led to the Capitol building last week.
There have been various attacks on women's rights in Texas my whole life. They started long before my generation, and if not for the influence of Aim for Success and Planned Parenthood in my life, I might not think they affect me much at all. The truth is, millions of Texas women are harmed by the gradual erosion of our rights. Rick Perry and the Governor before him have been seemingly all-powerful in Texas my entire life, passing legislation by any means necessary that is harmful to women and minorities.
Governor Perry's most recent blow came this summer, when he called a special session of the Legislature to pass Senate Bill 5– a group of laws that severely restrict women's access to healthcare from providers like Planned Parenthood. If those laws had been in effect when I was 16, I never would have been able to visit the Planned Parenthood near my home– it is one of the clinics that will close if the laws pass. Senate Bill 5 has been panned as unsafe for women by moderates, women's rights advocates, and even doctors. In fact, according to ThinkProgress, 80% of Texans do not want their lawmakers considering this bill in a special session, and 63% of Texans think the state already has enough anti-abortion laws on the books.
I was one of the protesters against Senate Bill 5 at the Capitol on Tuesday. I went along with 1500+ other folks to support Senator Wendy Davis during her heroic, 13-hour stand for women's rights. Being part of that grassroots gathering of women and the men who love them was one of the most empowering experiences of my life. Senator Davis' efforts, along with one final outcry from protestors, successfully stopped the passage of Senate Bill 5. It was exhilarating knowing that my body was one reason women in Texas still had access to healthcare on Wednesday morning. Less than 24 hours after Senate Bill 5 died, though, Governor Perry called a second special session to put it and the house version of the bill back on the table. He has made it clear that women's consent is not a consideration here, and it feels chillingly like I'm back in that elementary school library.
This fight is personal. For years I have heard from Texas Republicans that because I am a woman, I am not equipped to make decisions for myself. Senate Bill 5– now called Senate Bill 9 and House Bill 2– carry the same bullshit message I heard in the sixth grade. The difference is, this time when I hear it I can stand and shout, "NO!"
What I do with my body is none of the government's business. I have had enough intrusion into my private life, and I do not plan to sit quietly while old men sit behind closed doors and make my healthcare decisions for me. I will be wearing orange at the Capitol on Monday. And again during the remainder of the second special session. And again on the campaign trail in 2014. This is my body. My choice. My vote. And I want them to know it.
If my experience or the thousands that have been shared in the past week resonate with you, I hope you will take a few minutes to read more about Senate Bill 9 and House Bill 2, and why they are harmful to women. Please consider wearing orange, the color we have adopted for women's rights. Please consider joining me at the Texas Capitol on Monday. Together with thousands of other protesters, I will be standing with Wendy Davis and Texas women.

Wonderfully stated. It puts me in mind of what Elizabeth Smart has said about her experience being abducted and raped. She had been taught that her purity was what gave her worth, and after it was forcibly taken from her she felt stripped of her worth, which is why she did not try to escape from her rapist!
I went to planned parenthood in my 20s when I did not have health insurance. That was where I received my basic women's health exam and was able to talk about contraceptives AND abstinence. Yes, Planned Parenthood mentioned abstinence as the best way to prevent pregnancy or STDs. Shocking, I know. Given that during this time I had a friend who was diagnosed with (and eventually died of) cervical cancer I will be forever grateful for the medical and emotional care I received at Planned Parenthood. If closing those clinics means that even one Texas woman loses access to care that is one too many.
Thank you… well put!
All I can say is Thank You from me and thank you from my daughter. Orange has ALWAYS been my favorite color and now I can add yet anther reason why I wear it proudly.
Kathryn, I am so proud to know you, and to watch you and our friends defend Texas women. I wish that I could be there with you in the capital. This Texan woman has had enough – it won't stop me from moving back to the state, but it will make me much more aware and active in politics when we return.
OMG! I remember the "pink present" line. I must have had the Aim for Success presentation, too, when I was 11. I specifically remember being told that the AIDs virus is so small that it could pass through the holes of a condom. But I remembered from science class that the virus needs fluids to travel with and if semen is too big to pass through tiny holes then how could the virus get through? I also remember (maybe a later presentation in jr high) one of the presenters was a "born again virgin" and I was like "how come she gets to rewrap the pink present but I don't?" Totally conflicting messages. I also remember the pledge you filled out. I don't remember if I did it or not. Those presentations were totally demeaning.
Beautiful piece. I was a 20 something in Texas before Roe v. Wade. We cannot go back. I have horror stories. Thanks for filling me in on AFS. That's totally daft.
I loved your post about your personal experiences. It's so hard to wrap my head around why anyone in the government would want to restrict access to sex ed, contraception, women's health, and safe abortion. It's one thing to not want to participate, but to actively try and stop women from controlling their own bodies is nothing short of pure evil misogyny. I'm so glad so many people are standing up and saying NO MORE!
Extremely well written post and I'm proud to know you.
Thank you for being there! I am flabbergasted reading about your experience in Texas schools. I was only a few years ahead of you in school, but thank goodness I did not have to deal with the "purity pledge" nonsense. I am going to barf if my daughter has to.
Dixie, I remember the "AIDs virus can pass through a condom" line as well, the implication being, don't even bother with condoms, they won't work… a terribly irresponsible message to sell to teens.
Great article Kathryn. I'm no longer living in Texas, but still a Texan at heart. Proud to see you standing up for women's rights at home.
That Abstinence-only education sure worked out well for Briston Palin, didn't it?
Thanks for the shout out! I was there this afternoon- just got back to Dallas. I was thinking on the way home that more information is always the better choice. No matter what the issue- sexual health, science education in schools, etc, people that are on right side of history are the one that fight for more access to accurate information. So cheers to that!
Kathryn, this is an incredible post. I very specifically remember the shame inflicted in our yearly abstinence assemblies in high school. Those young girls who had "deflowered" themselves were now subject to further sullying of their reputations, which for some caused a vicious cycle of self-devaluation and promiscuity.
Some other lines from these horrid things: "When you have sex with someone, you are also having sex with everyone they've EVER had sex with. And all of the people those people had sex with." Ergo, when you have sex, you're boning all of humanity?
"I waited and had sex with my wife on our honeymoon to Disney World!! It was awesome!" #yeahibet
While I hope I nor my daughter are ever in the position to need to choose, the need remains for these facilities. What awaits the woman who is forced to carry this child? She is often low income and needs to apply for more subsidized programs–isn't this the very thing that just really pisses the GOP off? They want her to keep the baby and become financially independent while she can't educate herself and can barely afford decent childcare? It is so frustrating!
On a solely logical level, I have failed to understand what someone's religious views have to do with another person's body.
Your message…
That was from me, Rebecca Henderson. I just have no experience with blogs, old lady that I am!
One question: who speaks for that unborn child?
What about their choice?
Always, conveniently, left out of the discussion.
Thank you for sharing your story. Growing up in Texas I had a very similar experience with abstinence groups and their unreal expectations and the dissonance from the self that I believe their message creates. Planned Parenthood was there for me too at a time when I felt I had nowhere else to turn. This was during the Reagan era when funding cuts first began to be felt. These cuts sent a shock wave through my local Planned Parenthood organization and through all of us who relied on them for not only contraception but also support and education. It is the discourse about our bodies and the feeling that we are supported and have a network of support that are at the heart of the services that Planned Parenthood and others provide. Without these more abortions happen. More disconnect from our own bodies happen. More pain and regret. Not less. This is the message who's time has come.
A tweet sent me to this post and I am so grateful that it did. I am a soon-to-be nurse midwife in Michigan, where my state legislators recently passed similarly restrictive bills and where abstinence only "sex education" runs rampant. I am looking forward to one day providing comprehensive, evidence-based care to my future patients and your account of Dolores providing you with factual information and compassionate care when you most needed it is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your story!
Thank you for writing this post. It's social suicide NOT to sign those stupid pledges when you're under teacher and peer pressure. No different than people making you feel like an outcast if you don't hear "Jesus whispering in your heart" Ugh. I know this isn't a religious discussion, but it's exactly the same to me. NOBODY has the right to dictate your beliefs or your body! SEXUAL EDUCATION / SERVICES IS EXTREMELY VITAL FOR TEEN GIRLS, and I'm so proud of Wendy Davis and everyone who is stepping up for her. Signed, adult who was lucky that Planned Parenthood caught stage 4 cervical cancer in my 20's.
WOW! Am so passing this post on to like-minded people. I am from a state that had and has comprehensive sex ed and was curious as to what this was all about. So I went to my son's junior high school last night to get the "parent" meeting. BOY. Was THIS a shocker!
Sure. A large % of what Aim says is great, i.e. respect yourself and others, what you do now will effect your lives in the future, etc. True and fabulous! Then they started on their misinformation rants. The best one was a story of a young man who started viewing porn and because he looked once and then could not look away, he became addicted to it. (I'm not making this up!) Long story short, said boy wound up raping and killing a girl years later!!! (AGAIN. THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID!!!)
I had no idea that our PTA paid for this crap. Am sure that their intentions were good and truly want to prevent teen pregnancies. Obviously, in Texas, that has NOT worked out so good.
If I were a teen listening to this all, I'd have walked away with this: I can only get pregnant 5 days out of the month and contraceptives are not reliable.
Great. If anything I say that this organization is SPREADING disease throughout the land. Oh, and by the way, what about those Texans who CANNOT get married or even want to get married but don't want kids?
This totally ignores all logic.
I am phoning my school tomorrow to demand that I attend a kids' section of this program because I do NOT trust these people in any way, shape or form.

The winter, or off-season is a great time in Big Sur. You can stand on the cliffs and watch California Condors soar overhead, look down at the ocean to see Gray whales migrating south, hear the barking of seals on the rocky shoreline, get up close to the elephant seals that have hauled in to shore to have thier pups and breed. Lots of male postering and fighting going on, all of which is to determine who gets to mate with the most females, which keeps it interesting. Evenings offer the some of the most clear skies in the continental United States. There is so little ambient light pollution you can see stars all the way down to sea level. Big Sur is always spectacular but winter offers the most dynamic weather and opportunity for wildlife viewing before retiring to a warm fireplace. Winter camping, if you're prepared for it, is also one of the best kept secrets. Fine dining, world class lodging, extreme wildlife viewing. What more can you ask for?

I agree with the article that winter is the best time to visit Big Sur. Summer not only brings crowds and traffic, but it's also the fog season, and there are many days where the coastal views are completely hidden underneath a sodden blanket of fog. The air is often much clearer and warmer in the fall and winter.

Pillows for Puppies SF: 200 pillows collected and Plaza left clean!
Pillows for Puppies had two missions this year at the San Francisco Valentine's Day Pillow Fight: Donating pillows to charity, and cleaning Justin Herman Plaza to make the pillow fight self-sustaining!
We collected and donated 200 pillows to the Sisters of Mercy, who distributed them to their low-income housing residents today. Thank you for the kind donations, pillow fighters!
We also coordinated 30 volunteers who stayed until 10:30pm cleaning the plaza, along with dozens of crowd-sourced helpers who were happy to fill a bag with fluff before heading home. We filled 150 big trash bags with the stuffing from burst pillows and left much less work for the city employees. We left a very light smattering of feathers, rather than the usual 4-6 inches of fluff, feathers, and empty pillowcases. Next year we're bringing power washers of our own - that's all there was left to do!
Our volunteers reduced the event cost for the city from $35,000 in 2010 to $3,500 in 2011, according to numbers provided by Gloria Chan of the DPW. This ninety percent reduction is due to our amazing volunteers and the participation of pillow fighters in cleaning up after themselves when offered trash bags and loving encouragement to pick up.
Here is Justin Herman Plaza mid-fight, ankle-deep in fluff and discarded pillows. This is the condition it's been left in previously, which is a bit ridiculous. (Courtesy bapnoyndamix)
This is Justin Herman Plaza after we finished, before the power washing was done by the Parks Department:
And some of our volunteers in action! (I didn't take many pictures because I was cleaning, too!)
The Department of Public Works, the Parks Department, and the local Police Department were happy to see us and let us borrow brooms and rakes to speed up our clean up. Thank you, Departments!
The fountain had been drained for regular maintenance and was not clogged this year, which was a major source of damage in previous years. Hopefully it's drained each year!
What a great evening! Thanks for having us San Francisco. We'll see you again!

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – A man suffered life threatening injuries during a foot pursuit with police in Saratoga Springs early Saturday morning after allegedly falling nearly 20-feet from scaffolding.
The Saratoga Springs Police Department says around 3 a.m. on Saturday, officers were on foot patrol on Caroline Street when they say they saw a male shove a female's head into a brick wall.
Officers then approached the man, identified at 21-year-old Darryl Mount Jr. of Malta, to take him into custody when he allegedly fled on foot. Authorities say Mount ran south on Broadway into an alley on the north side of the Washington Building, at 422 Broadway.
Officers say they attempted to deploy a taser twice during the foot pursuit while in the alley, but failed and did not make contact with Mount. Police say all taser probes have been recovered at the scene and have been secured in the custody of the police department.
Police say Mount then continued to run behind the Washington Building into the construction area, out of sight of the officers. At the rear of the building, there is a wooden barrier in place to prevent unauthorized access to the construction area and scaffolding behind the building.
Police say the area has no lighting and was wet from rain earlier that night. Police officers pursuing Mount reported that he climbed over a railing adjacent to the wooden barrier and onto the scaffolding at the rear of the building. One officer pursued Mount onto the scaffolding, but was slowed by the construction area that is a tangle of wood, metal posts, and support beams. Police say it was at this point that officers, including the officer on the scaffolding, lost sight of Mount.
Other officers then ran around the front of the building to Gardner Lane next to Lillian's on Broadway in an attempt to secure any escape routes. The initial officer trailing Mount noticed a witness approaching the area along the sidewalk between Gaffney's and Izumi Bar and Grill. He called to the person to inquire if they had seen anyone running through the area, and the witness reported that he heard a thud or crash and came to investigate but that he did not see anyone running.
Officers then conducted an area check, and according to authorities, Mount was found unconscious on the sidewalk between Gaffney's and Izumi Bar and Grill.
Emergency medical crews assisted Mount on scene, including cutting away Mount's clothing to attend to injuries, before he was transported to Albany Medical Center.
Mount's mother, Patty Jackson, tells NEWS10 her son is currently in a coma and on life support.
"Right now I am more concerned about the well-being of my son, but I will be seeking answers," Jackson says. "I'm not going to stop until my son has justice."
In a release sent to NEWS10, Saratoga Springs Police Chief Gregory Veitch addressed allegations made by some that Mount was beaten by police:
"The police department has received several calls inquiring if police officers have been suspended or charged in relation to this incident. Many have referred to allegations made on social media and other internet websites. Some of the calls reference police officers, by name, who were not even working at the time. Some have referred to the tearing of Mr. Mount's clothing as evidence that the police tore his clothing off of him during a beating although firefighters cut off his clothing to attend to Mr. Mount's injuries as they do in many serious injury cases. Others still have claimed the police assaulted Mr. Mount on Caroline Street and were later seen chasing him down Gardiner Lane. There is no evidence at this point that police engaged in anything other than a foot pursuit onto un-lit construction scaffolding behind 422 Broadway. The pursuit was begun after officers observed Mr. Mount assault another person and in accordance with what Saratoga Springs Police Officers are mandated to do. No witnesses have come forward and stated that they observed police officers using force on Mr. Mount. Anyone who claims that they observed any officers beating a suspect in this or any case is encouraged to contact me directly and I will personally take their statement."
Saratoga Springs Police Department policy mandates an arrest in cases of domestic violence where any offense is committed in the presence of an officer, even if the victim does not want to pursue the arrest or prosecution. However, police say due to Mount's condition they are not pressing charges at this time.
Veitch says police have canvassed the area for video of the incident. He says there is no video of the area where Mount allegedly fell from the scaffolding, however there is video of Caroline Street showing Mount shoving the female victim into the wall, running away, and police officers giving chase. A second video shows several officers in pursuit of Mount as he runs into the alley on the north side of 422 Broadway and moments later three officers running from the alley south bound in front of the building to Gardner Lane as they attempt to intercept Mount or establish a perimeter at the rear of the building. A third video shows officers running down Gardner Lane; no one is running in front of them. Veitch says all of the video is secured as evidence pending grand jury action.
Veitch says no witnesses have come forward with information what happened in the area behind 422 Broadway, police speculate Mount somehow fell or jumped from the scaffolding in an attempt evade police. This was also the initial report to dispatchers from responding medical personnel, who said it's about 19 to 20-feet from the scaffolding to the ground where Mount was found and falls from this height can result in very serious injuries.
Police continue to ask anyone who has information regarding this incident to contact the police department at 518-584-1800, at www.saratogapolice.org, or anonymously at 518-584-TIPS.
"Any allegation of police brutality will be taken seriously by the Saratoga Springs Police Department. This investigation is still on-going. There may be additional facts, evidence or witnesses that are not yet known to the police. I encourage anyone who witnessed this incident to report their information to authorities," Veitch says.

From video servers to high-tech buried intrusion detection, a tour through the IFSEC 2007 tradeshow
"We are here to introduce a scalable intelligent video solution running up to 60 D1 video channels with analytics," said Oren Feldman, Mango's marketing manager, who was talking about their high-performance RavensNest unit. "The RavensNest sets a new standard for high density video solutions allowing D1 resolutions and analytics from many leading vendors on all channels."
Mango DSP worked with Texas Instruments, MICRON and Object Video to deliver the Raven system. The goal was to create "an integrated video server designed to meet the requirements of outdoor and mobile surveillance needs."
"What we have here is a rugged intelligent video command and control system that was originally designed for the Israeli military. We have created a surveillance solution for evolving market needs such as police cars and unmanned devices," added Daniel Peled, V.P. of sales for Mango DSP.
IFSEC wouldn't be complete without a stroll through the Fire & Rescue halls to see the latest products for the fire service. One could not miss the impressive both from Michigan's own Safety Technology Inc. On hand were STI's President Margie Gobler, Executive Vice President John Taylor and National Sales Manager Michael Mikaelian. Showcasing their full product lines, Taylor pointed out that the new STI Universal Push Button, which is targeted to locksmiths working in electronic access and egress, should debut sometime in the fourth quarter of this year.
As the show wound down for the day, a visit to UltraVision Security Systems out of New Hampshire was in order. Bill Lozon, their V.P. of sales and marketing, had been following SecurityInfoWatch.com's coverage of IFSEC and wanted get us a firsthand view at their intrusion detection products.
This is the U.S. manufacturer that walked away with the "Best New Intruder Alarm Product" during the prestigious IFSEC awards competition for the company's UltraSensor. According to Dennis Johnson, president of UltraVision, the UltraSensor is a proven and effective implantation of ultra-wideband technology in motion detection sensors for life-safety and security applications. "The UltraSensor product line has the world's first motion sensor that is completely buried," said Johnson.
"The motion detection system can effectively see through materials such as concrete, earth and asphalt to detect intrusion by humans or vehicles in areas with high security needs," added Lozon. Also on display was the LifeLocator, the standard in rescue detection when such disasters as earthquakes, floods, explosions or similar occurrences that result in victims trapped under debris piles, from man made to natural debris that result from structural collapse.
Wrapping up today's show with a wonderful cocktail reception was the announcement of the launch of CMP's IFSEC India, scheduled for Oct. 25-27, 2007 in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. According to IFSEC officials, India along with the entire South Asian region, is one of the fastest growing emerging markets in the world. Having seen the show floor plan, many leading security manufacturers have already secured their stand.
Signing off from Birmingham. England ... next stop, Boston, Mass., for the NFPA show!

Tips For taking Care of Your Eyes
Vision is one of our five senses and it is one that we use most often. Vision is very important as it is easy to think about how difficult things would be without it. Taking care of your eyes is very important and something everyone in Northfield, Illinois needs to do.
Taking care of your eyes is more than simply visiting the eye doctor's office in Northfield, Illinois once every couple of years. Eye care requires you to think about your eye health and become active in ensuring your eyes stay healthy.
People living in Northfield, Illinois who require corrective lenses so they can see clearly are more likely than those with perfect vision to consider their eye health. A visit to the eye doctor is routine because they need to get their prescription updated, get new eye glasses or get a new prescription for contact lenses.
People with perfect vision usually do not give the eye doctor a second thought, until it is too late and they begin having vision problems. That is too bad, too, since a lot of times vision problems or eye conditions can be better handled if discovered early.
Some people in Northfield, Illinois and other places do not realize that some health issues can greatly affect their eyes. Women who have a baby will often have changes in their vision since hormones during pregnancy can greatly affect the eyes. People with diabetes may also experience vision problems due to their condition.
Headaches can often be related to vision problems. Some people may be unaware their headaches are caused by vision problems, especially if their vision seems to otherwise be fine.
In general a person from Northfield, Illinois or any town should visit the eye doctor every two years. However, for people with a family history of eye health issues a check every year is better.
If a person is experiencing headaches, red or itchy eyes, blood in the eye or any other pain or problem with their eyes they should see the eye doctor immediately. The same goes for anyone who is having problems seeing clearly.
Part of taking care of your eyes also involves prevention. Your eyes need protection against the harmful rays of the sun just like your skin. Residents of Northfield, Illinois should wear ultraviolet protection sunglasses. Also wear eye protection when playing sports or working in dusty conditions or in conditions with flying debris.
Lastly, everyone living in Northfield, Illinois should remember to avoid eye strain. This means taking a break every so often from staring at the computer screen and using adequate lighting.

Mayhem #752466
----IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU READ MY BIO BEFORE HIRING ME----WORKING WITH MEL -- MAXIMIZING THE EXPERIENCE: I LOVE MY JOB!! Since 2003 I have been so fortunate to travel the country, and even parts of the world, working with artists from all walks, skill levels, and artistic drives! As one with an insatiable hunger for continual personal and professional growth, I find myself stretching my limits at every shoot (newbie or not) in an array of positive ways. With EVERY shoot, my primary goals are positivity and productivity. Please contact anybody you can find who has shot with me in the past if you are seeking references. I do not filter them and encourage you to do your homework. Perhaps I am different than most models in the respect that I have little interest in myself in each image. To be frank, I'm kinda bored looking at pretty pictures of myself. While I certainly don't want to look bad, I'm more interested in selling your concept/style/mood! To do this, figuring out how to successfully collaborate is pertinent. Read on and maybe I can give you some insight on how to best collaborate with me: In my experience, I have found that it helps to come to the shoot with some clear or even vague ideas about what you would like to accomplish. Maybe you're looking for deep shadows, something anonymous with a just got home after a long day of work feel. I've got it from there. In all honesty, I find that it's really hard for me to produce my very best work if you are micromanaging my every pose. Like anyone who produces his or her best in any situation, it is important that I, too, am allowed to find my flow and get lost in the concept. Pose coaching is not a problem, but I work best if we can get into a rhythm. I have a vested interest in making your ideas come alive! If something is not working or does not look good, I am absolutely not offended when the artist communicates that. As far as I see it, it's not personal and I should know. What excites me during a shoot is the feeling that comes when the artist and I have successfully connected in a meaningful way around the art that we are working to create. As a model and artist, I live for those moments when we are actively feeding off of one another's creative energy and striving to effectively capture something original and powerful. Ultimately, this means that I must adapt to your style of shooting. In most cases I can do this easily, however, there are two styles I struggle with. Let me first say that if you can identify with either of these modes of shooting, this does not mean that I will not work with you or even get mad; I only want to give you my very best work while also inspiring you to do yours--so consider this food for thought: To those hyper rapid-fire shooters out there, I'm speaking to you first. If you're in the habit of shooting as fast as you possibly can (i.e. literally on 'Continuous' mode), then you are missing so many great opportunities! Not only are you forgoing the opportunity to become the best photographer that you can be, but you'll be hard pressed to experience what differentiates me from others in this industry. I understand the various rationals behind wanting a large quantity of pictures, but realize that when you are shooting your camera like a machine gun all that I am able to focus on is keeping up! If, instead, you shot at a steady pace, you will find that you have more time to compose the shot and I will have more time to hone my pose and give you my best look. We will go back and forth at this, our creative synapses firing as we try to make each shot our best, and maybe we'll start to become synchronized in our respective roles. As it flows, I surrender my thinking mind and just embody the goal; Hopefully you'll get lost in the experience and do the same. Creativity flows best at this point when we are ever-present in the task at hand but still, somehow, lost in it. We'll continue back and forth and then boom it will be done! You'll be out of memory, battery, or I'll realize that my muscles are tired, that I need a drink of water--but that's how it goes. It's times like this that you realize how collaborations can become bigger than the both of our talents and the final piece(s) opens your eyes to our potential. Now, let me turn to those shooters who like to look at each picture after each shot or who talk between each shot. I can understand doing this at the beginning of the shoot or even often throughout the shoot... But again, focus must be transcended to a point of effortless concentration. So long as art is our goal we need to think about the frame we're shooting now, not the frame we've just shot. While I understand that you MUST first learn, then apply, there is some overlap in these stages. I LOVE working with the learning photographer/artist! But if you have your lights set and we're ready to get the shot, this choppy style of shooting not only impedes my ability to get into my grove but it also inhibits your ability to get know your subject, identify what it is that speaks to you, and capture it!Connecting, collaborating, creating, chasing the light...and then dancing in it. ...For me, this is what "it's" about! Because feeding off one another's creative energy is so important, I tend to be gentle, attentive, and giving (take your head out of the gutter Mike!). I put a lot of effort into developing a sincere rapport with each person I collaborate with. For this reason, I find that I REALLY enjoy working with the same people again and again. HOWEVER, as of late, I have found that my friendly demeanor and comfort with my body can send mixed messages, so let me be clear: I am here for a higher purpose than sexual desire!!! I am an open book. The way I interact with you is the way that I interact with everybody. More importantly, I am in a wonderful, long term, COMMITTED relationship with a man I hope to marry. And, finally, whether I am shooting with you for the first time or the twentieth time, DO NOT EVER ask me to spread my legs! This is deeply offensive to me. (Read that sentence again.) Crass AND negative, I know, but experience screams that this must be addressed in a very direct way. THE BOTTOMLINE: I'm not picky AT ALL with whom I shoot, unless I think you're egomaniacal, dangerous, or focused primarily on tasteless sexual content. If you have a good attitude, are a reasonable human being who values mutual respect, and you're someone with a sincere desire to create powerful/interesting/crazy/cool imagery then I REALLY want to collaborate with you! COMPENSATION: This is currently my full time job and sole source of income. Though I sincerely understand the many reasons for tfp/cd arrangements, I simply DO NOT shoot on a trade basis. If for whatever reason you think we have a trade shoot booked, there, without a doubt, has been a misunderstanding. My RATES are as follows: $125/hr, $300/3 hours, and $700/day. I DO NOT offer reduced rates. I am very flexible with how we arrange this. You can invite other photographers, pay for my plane ticket or my hotel (at dollar for dollar trade and I stay at the safest cheapest hotels), etc. I do not, however, engage in any sort of arrangement where I receive a certain percentage of the proceeds from the sale of images. NOTE TO OTHER MODELS: If you are new to the industry or are just having a hard time making this a worthwhile endeavor, please get in touch. It seems that we all learn the same lessons and if I can help you avoid some of the hard and potentially damaging ones, then I would love to help! Send me an email and I tell you all I know. I have helped many fellow models with various issues and I am happy to do what I can...but one general rule: NO DRAMA. OTHER DETAILS AMATEURS: I work with professionals and amateurs alike. If you have never shot a model before, don't hesitate to contact me. I mean it. I am happy to help you set your lights, make wardrobe decisions, and allow you to simply focus on getting comfortable shooting models without any extra worries! I have been told again and again that I am good at putting first time shooters at ease while helping them to get shots they can feel good about. I feel good about that. SHOOT CONFRIMATIONS: Once you're in my calendar you can count on me to show up!!! I don't confirm unless you tell me that you need me to, and then I need you to call me AND text me. ABSOLULTELY no email confirmations because I might not look at email for several days. I know models can be flaky, but I'm not. If you are in my calendar, then I will show up. If I am going to be so much as 10 min late I call and tell you. CANCELLATIONS: Please do not discuss a shoot with me if you are not serious about making it happen. Too often people book me and cancel last min (like 30%)! This is crippling if you're in business for yourself, traveling around with lots of overhead. I allow no more than ONE last minute cancellation from people that I do not have a long working relationship with. If you cancel on me a second time, I am going to very reluctant to book with you again. In the event that I do, I will require a 50% deposit. MODEL RELEASES: I require a copy of all model releases I sign. FETISH/ADULT CONTENT: I do not shoot any type of explicit or fetish content. Should you capture that accidental image that crosses my boundaries I reserve the right to add an amendment to model releases to ensure no such image makes it to the Web. MY BUSH!! I maintain my bush to aid photographers in respecting my boundaries; therefore, I absolutely will NOT shave it! (Sorry, I had to make that one clear) WAKING UP EARLY: I love shooting outdoors! And if that means waking up before sunrise, I'm still there! SHOWING UP EARLY & STAYING LATE: I am VERY accommodating. I am more than happy to show up early or hang around after our shoot to address any additional needs, but you must let me know in advance. This is an investment of your time, money, and energy. My sincere hope is that you walk away feeling better than good about our work together. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. ________________________________________________________________________________ "Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." -Carl Zaiss
