Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-1160 Running Shoe:
I use this shoe both to walk on a greenway and to work. I am a nurse and work three 12-hour shifts a week. These shoes have a large toe box and my toes never get sore in them, even after a busy shift or a 3-mile walk. If they came in another color, I would buy a second pair right away.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-1160 Running Shoe:
This was a great buy. I needed to get a lighter shoe to run in but did not want to switch from the Asics brand, and this was the perfect pair. I run about 15 mi a week. Right now, I am training for my first triathlon. These Asics are perfect for shorter mileage (3-10 mi training runs). They are easy on the feet and are really light. So far, have not had any problems.

I'm very excited about this weave journey. It's been a while since i last had one. Besides my scalp feeling sore initially and itching like crazy, i'm finally comfortable and able to enjoy it! One of my colleagues at work today asked me what i use to make my hair grow so far! I should have said something crazy like peanut butter! Darn why am i just thinking of this now?!
Anyway of course i would never! Back to the point, here are some pics i took of my weave i've also got a quick YT video about how i plan on maintaining it. (Will be published tomorrow)

On Friday, March 25, Governor Butch Otter signed SB 1389, making Idaho the ninth state to adopt constitutional carry (aka unrestricted carry or permitless carry).
Back in the day, we knew this as Vermont carry, after the one-and-only state whose residents were legally free to tuck guns in their pockets or purses or under their clothing without first asking their state government for permission. Vermont had been that way for generations. And for all those generations, they remained alone.
But now … oh my.
In some ways Idaho's bill isn't a huge change from its existing laws. Idaho residents already had constitutional carry outside city limits; SB 1389 merely extended it to cities — over the objections of police chiefs, Bloomberg's Everytown, and the usual hoplophobes who cried the usual cry of "blood in the streets!"
In other ways, what a very, very big deal this is.
For one, the bill explicitly acknowledges the individual right to bear arms and that said people grant only limited powers to state governments:
The legislature hereby finds that the people of Idaho have reserved for themselves the right to keep and bear arms while granting the legislature the authority to regulate the carrying of weapons concealed. The provisions of this chapter regulating the carrying of weapons must be strictly construed so as to give maximum scope to the rights retained by the people.
Like all such bills, it's full of legalisms that hardcore freedomistas won't appreciate (for instance, permitless carry is only for those 21 or above; those 18 to 20 must still get permits, though those permits are "shall issue").
But for some of us who've been around a long time … it's a bloody miracle.
Let me take you back to the day
It was a dark day. 1993 and 1994. A rabidly anti-gun president held the White House. A Congress composed of rabidly anti-gun Democrats and wishy-washy Republican "leaders" like Bob Dole stood ready to give Bill Clinton more service than Monica Lewinski ever did.
Wham! They hit us with the Brady Law. Wham! They hit us with the Ugly Gun Ban. Over the next several years, they hit us with more laws to restrict guns, give more funding to anti-gun enforcement, and in general extend the powers of both the federal government and local police against We the People.
Dark days indeed.
In 1993, I used my smoking-hot 1200-baud modem to dial into a gun-rights bulletin board in Colorado — half the country away from my Pacific Northwest home. And for me, that's where I first encountered hopeful change — though I didn't recognize it at the time.
The Internet, though it existed in the scientific and academic communities, was not yet a thing for ordinary people. But we were reaching out to find each other, anyhow. Some via FidoNet bulletin boards (BBSes) like the one I mentioned, which had been set up by and for fans of writer and gun advocate L. Neil Smith. Or a bigger FidoNet operation, the Paul Revere Network (PRN — where I first met TZP co-founder Brad Alpert). Others gathered local friends and huddled around short-wave radios, where a handful of firebrands (some as crazy as moonbats, but that's another story) were beginning to agitate against the looming federal takeover. Many began to gather in the real world to form militias.
I was soon running up $300-a-month phone bills dialing cross-country to various gun-rights and Bill of Rights bulletin boards. (My wallet and I were both so relieved when subscription Internet came along shortly thereafter.) But that first Colorado bulletin board remained my mainstay as long as FidoNet ruled the dawning e-world.
Quirky little Vermont and the people who saw bigger things
It was on those primitive BBSes that I first heard the term "Vermont carry."
Maybe it was the term itself, which hinted at the quirk of one small and quirky state. Or maybe it was just the hopelessness of the times. But it never dawned on me that Vermont carry had a chance of slipping outside the boundaries of Vermont. If asked to give odds, I'd have put it at a thousand to one against.
The "shall issue" concealed carry permit movement was the only bright spot for guns at that moment. It had been gaining ground since the late 1980s. But for me that was no bright spot at all. I saw state-issued permits not only as unlawful government control, but worse, as a sneaky way to gather data on gun owners for eventual confiscation.
On that Colorado BBS, a Wyoming activist, Charles Curley, had a lively debate going on with L. Neil Smith. The two were friends, but on one issue they ardently differed. Charles was working with fellow activists to get shall-issue concealed carry permits in Wyoming, which Neil saw as a betrayal of true freedomista principles.
I was privately in Neil's camp, but I liked Charles (with whom I soon had a seven-year romance) so I didn't say much. But where Charles really made my head spin was with his claim — preposterous! — that he and his fellow Wyoming ccw activists were consciously and deliberately setting things up to move eventually from shall-issue to pure Vermont carry.
I simply didn't see how giving state governments more control (as I viewed it) could ever result in less control, eventually. Just did not believe it possible. Especially in those dismal days.
But these steady, patient activists were beginning a major change. I just couldn't see it. They worked. And they worked. And they got major court judgments in their favor. And they worked some more.
Today, seven states have permitless concealed carry for every lawful gun owner and two (Idaho and Wyoming) have it for their own residents, though visitors still require permits from their home states.
It began in 2003 with Alaska, and continued through Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, and Maine. Successes were far between at first, but the pace is picking up. This month alone, both West Virginia and Idaho got on the freedom train. The West Virginia legislature had to override their governor's veto. Although Idaho's Butch Otter signed without quibble, both houses of the Idaho legislature passed the bill with impressively veto-proof margins (27 to 8 in the Senate and 54 to 15 in the House).
And there's more. Oklahoma allows residents of constitutional carry states to carry discreetly within its borders. Puerto Rico has constitutional carry (following a lawsuit), though that's being appealed. Other states have permitless concealed carry outside of city limits or allow it if the weapon is unloaded or in an "enclosed case" (and a woman's purse or a man's backpack counts as an enclosed case). Or on a motorcycle. Or on horseback.
Yes, the laws remain quirky and imperfect. (There's no such thing as a perfect law.) But virtually every change has been in the right direction. And activists continue the march toward constitutional carry in many more states.
Are we likely to see constitutional carry in Massachusetts, New York, or California any time soon? Ha! But I can tell you that a lot of us who were around in the dark old days of 1993 and 1994 never thought we'd see even this much, ever, in so many places.
And "this much" is a lot. A hell of a lot. Better yet, we're going to see more.
Do I now approve of the "shall issue" permits that laid the groundwork for this? Nope. No way. But even I have to admit that the grassroots "shall issue" ccw movement gave birth to the constitutional carry movement. And constitutional carry is an unreservedly good thing.
Back in the day — those dark old days of seemingly unstoppable federal overreach — I thought we'd have to fight (real "blood in the streets") to restore our gun rights. Of course, we may yet have to fight to preserve our freedom.
But thanks to the new and expanded gun culture across the land — a culture in part built and normalized by the very activists I doubted — We the People are becoming an ever more formidable power.
I wouldn't have thought it possible. I wasn't a part of making it happen. In my eyes it will forever remain a mystery of darned-near miraculous proportions.
It definitely goes to show that there can be a lot of ways to skin the proverbial cat.

I am doing the base modeling so far.
And finally I will be entering into an animating contest shortly, but more on that later....

We are delighted to welcome playwright Mira Dovreni with her new show How To Be Immortal on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February at 7.30pm. You can also read an interview with the director of the show Kirsty Housely.
How did you come up with the idea for How to Be Immortal? What was the inspiration?
I read a book about Henrietta Lacks' immortal cells at the same time as a friend of mine was loosing her partner to cancer. They had just had a baby together, and the combination of these 2 events made me think about the parts of us we leave behind when we die, and what form they take.
So Henrietta Lacks died in 1951 and left her cells behind ; they are still growing today and each one of them contains her DNA – the blueprint that made her who she was. Her family were never told so I started to wonder how that would make me feel – if I found out my mums cells were still growing 30 years after her death… At the same time my friends baby was starting to smile in exactly the same way as her father had done when he was alive. How did she know? Did she remember – or was it genetic?
I also started to wonder about the different ways we connect to people we have lost. And why this is so important to us. The play is an exploration of some of these ideas and questions.
Are there a lot of science references in the show, will audiences be able to follow it?
The science in the show is always connected to something – its never just facts. It links to the characters, the story, or the music, so audiences will always have another way in to understanding it. Also as an experiment we wanted to see if we could portray the science in new ways, ways that make you feel something as opposed to just understand it intellectually.
Its like the app we are designing "Sounds like DNA" Well we are not designing it – an extremely clever scientist is – but the basic idea is that you put in some simple genetic information like your height, your sex, your build, are you feeling stressed, in love, able to take decisions easily and so on – and the app will play you a piece of music based on your own DNA!
In the scratch performances at the Lowry, audiences said they loved the way the science was shown, and could they have some more please! Which really surprised us! I think non-scientists are fascinated by things like cells and DNA and how all that works – so hopefully they will be able to come away from the show with more of an understanding of some of these things – almost by accident. None of the creative team and definitely not me (the writer) have any particular knowledge of science or genetics, so the test was if we could understand it so would the audience!
How did you work with scientists from different institutions?
We discussed the initial idea with 2 UCL researchers (University College London) who had loads of ideas about making science into stories or art – and then they show'd us their lab, very exciting! and let us see HeLa cells in action (Henrietta Lacks immortal cell line).
Any questions we had in rehearsal they were able to answer immediately, and also help us out with practical queries around what happens when cell lines are taken from cancer patients, and who is allowed access. We also consulted a medical historian to get some kind of perspective about how researchers and medical institutions obtain samples (what permission is needed etc) and how the science community felt about what had happened in the case of Henrietta Lacks. Its a very interesting area and one we hope to explore with audiences in the post show debates. For instance what happens if your cells are responsible for developing a highly profitable drug by pharmaceutical companies? Is it right that you have no share in the profits? You'd think so but in a recent case in America a doctor made 3.5 billion dollars from someone spleen, and when the guy found out he took him to court – and lost. The judges said he was cured of his condition so what was he complaining about!
Can you explain how you made music based on a sound code interpreting DNA?
A genetic sequence is a bit like binary code, except it uses 4 letters instead of 2 numbers. They are C,T,G, and A in loads of different combinations. The code for all our genes is written in triplets of these letters, e.g. CCT, GTA etc and these triplets combine to make a 'recipe' for our cells to make amino acids. Amino acids make everything we need, build our bodies, our blood, our nerves our chemicals, the lot.
So to write the music we took a small section of human DNA coding and then we gave individual notes to the 21 different amino acids. We then used the number of times a 'triplet' of letters occurs (CCT, GTA etc) to give the notes their rhythmic values, ie CCT is a quaver etc. Using this formula we then transcribed the section code into a musical score. Does that make any sense?
There are true stories at the heart of the show. Could you tell us more about them?
So the Henrietta Lacks story is beginning to be better known thanks to a book and also recent publicity when her genome was put on the internet without anyone asking the family permission.
She was a 31 year old west virginian who died of cervical cancer in 1951, when her daughter Deborah was 2. Deborah couldn't really remember her mother, and the family never talked about her death – as in those days cancer was something a bit shameful (hard to believe isn't it) When Deborah was thirty she discovered that the sample doctors had taken from her mothers cervix had become the first cells to keep on growing outside the human body. They grew and they never stopped. They are still alive today – the first immortal cell line. Along the way they have helped us crack the human genome and are responsible for testing and creating pretty much every modern medicine in use today – including every treatment for cancer that exists. Imagine finding that out about your mum! That is Deborah's story.
The second story is a friend of mine who had her daughter at the same time I had my first child. the difference was that her partner was dying of cancer at the same time. It was such a terrible wonderful time for her with someone leaving the world and someone just entering it – and one of the problems she was having was finding ways for her daughter to have some connection with her father – after he had died. It was heart breaking. My friend was also a musician and this was one of the ways she managed to keep a link to him for her daughter and herself.
The final story, which is told in a more comic way, is that of the scientists who made such a ground breaking discovery – they literally discovered the secret of immortality. I mean we could all live forever – if we didn't have bodies that is!
How will the audience feel? Is it sad, moving, funny…
All of these I hope. I find it really funny in places and I always cry at the end no matter how many times I've seen it. That might just be me as I am a pushover and also I have quite a big emotional connection to the piece, but I have seen some of the team brushing away a sneaky tear as well. This is the first time I've written something that isn't comedy so its a bit of a shock that people aren't laughing all the way through. We shall see…
How To Be Immortal is, at Live Theatre, on Friday 21 & Saturday 22 February at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £14-£10, over 60s concs £12-£10, other concs £5. There is a free Post-Show Discussion after the Friday performance at 9.15pm. Find out more and book tickets here or call Live Theatre's Box Office on (0191) 232 1232.

Chase Illustration
Thursday, January 9, 2014
Here is the color study for the splash screen. I did this on my kindle with the brightness turned way down to it might be a bit jarring and bright (if your monitor is set up like mine anyway). Doing this is a great help now i can see i want my grass to be a bit more orange. Come to think of it everything should have an orangeness to it. That way the sky would be a bit more desaturated and the green color of the trees and the grass wont hurt your eyes so much. Anyway I'll be throwing this in to Illustrator soon and should have something done soon (pending approval).

I'm new to Gdevelop and will appreciate some help regarding the direction facing of sprites/objects
I have an object of a space ship and added to the ship event
"add force (angle)"
For direction i set it as : ship.Direction()
It works but for some reason it's flying backwards.
I'm thinking the default direction is set to it's rear. Is there any way to re-set the default direction of the sprite/object?
One more question.
Currently it is moving at a constantly +5 pixels per (sec?)
Is there a way to limit the speed?
i'm trying to use:
"Compare the speed when speed >= to 15 "
But not sure what action to use to limit it
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

Didn't make the cut!
Well, one of the books on our curr list hasn't made the cut. The Night Journey by Kathryn Lasky. In the first couple of chapters the main character a 13yr Jewish girls uses the "d" word several times and as I began to scan the book she appears to have a problem with being disrespectful to her elders...so I see that the last minute add-ons will need to be read or scanned...too bad I thought this book had a great message!
3 comments:
I hate when that happens...I have had several books like that. Good luck in finding more;)ReplyDelete
Oh boy. I pray Father leads you as He has in times past, to books that would be pleasing to Him. And as He does, please, do share with your sisters. :DReplyDelete
Thank you for the heads up on this book!
Love you!
When I first saw your title, I immediately thought of American Idol. lol.ReplyDelete
Sorry the book didn't turn out the way you wanted, but for every bad book, there are a hundred others.

Pardon The Language But What The Hell Are They Talking About?
Okay, we've all been there (and some of us still are). You're in a restaurant or at a party and you're enjoying a really good wine and blissing out because of it and then someone starts talking all about the nuance of the wine using terms that you can only guess what the hell they're talking about. Suddenly without any warning you're pulled out of your wine induced bliss by a feeling of guilt because you don't know the terminology associated with drinking wine. Should you even be allowed to enjoy that glass of vino? How embarrassing!
Well fear no more. We are going to learn this terminology together and furthermore I would just like to say that you can talk about wine without using this terminology. What's really needed to talk about wine intelligently is an understanding of the qualities of a wine and then just be able to communicate those qualities in regular, good old English (or the language of your choice 🙂 ).
So here, and in the next few Wednesday posts, I will attempt to put this terminology into a language we all can understand and share.
Okay, first off when someone talks about the 'bouquet' of a wine they are simply talking about what the wine smells like.
When they describe the 'bouquet' or 'nose' of the wine they will use several different characteristic 'aromas' to describe it. Among those aromas are: Caramel, earthy, floral, fruity, herbaceous or vegetative, nutty, spicy, or woody.
Now it does get more complicated than that because each of those aromas I noted above have other more precise characteristics that help you describe exactly what you're smelling.
So I am not going to quote Total Wine and More's 'Guide to Wine' 2011 edition on these.
CARAMEL: Butterscotch, Honey, Molasses, Chocolate, Soy Sauce (For example, all of the above could be smelled independently in a glass of wine, but you could generally describe a wine as having a 'caramel' aroma if you detect caramel, molasses or honey in the nose). Some examples are Sauternes, California Chardonnay, and French Puligny-Montrachet.
EARTHY: Moldy, Mushroom, Dusty, Chalky, Mineral (Frequently used in describing Red Burgundy, Zinfandel or some fine examples of California Pinot Noir). Fortunately it tastes far better than the description allows. 🙂
FLORAL: Violet, Rose, Orange Blossom. Some examples are Chenin Blanc, Vouvray, and Sancerre.
FRUITY: Tree fruit, Tropical fruit, Citrus fruit, Red fruit, Dark fruits. Basically with this one when something smells fruity just simply ask yourself 'what kind of fruit am I smelling?' Some of the red wines that commonly display these fruity tastes are Beaujolais, Merlot, and Pinot Noir.
HERBACEOUS OR VEGETATIVE: Does it smell or taste like cut grass, bell peppers, or mint? How about olives or asparagus? Tea or tobacco? Just ask yourself 'what does this remind me of?' you're probably not far off. Wines that might display these aroma characteristics are Sauvignon Blanc, Gerwurztraminer and Rieslings.
NUTTY: Walnut, Hazelnut, Almond. These aromas are often used to describe Sherries, Meursault, and Madeiras.
SPICY: Licorice, Anise, Black Pepper, and Cloves. Wines that might display these aromas are Australian Shiraz, Rhone wines, and California Zinfandels.
WOODY: Burnt (Smoky, Coffee), Resinous (Oak, Cedar, Vanilla). Good examples of this are Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
As you can see when it comes to the 'bouquet' and 'aroma' of a wine you just have to ask yourself 'What do I smell? What am I tasting? What does this remind me of?' If you answer those questions you'll not only get to know the wine a little better you'll also start to see what bouquets and aromas you're more attracted to. Having this knowledge will help you to know what wines you like the best and why.
Also, you don't have to be a snob when describing wines. All you have to know is what qualities you like in a wine and then communicate that to the people at the wine store or the sommelier at the restaurant. I don't think anyone would fault you if you told the sommelier that you tend to like a wine that smells and tastes like cherries or chocolate or with a hint of almonds. If he's a good sommelier he'll know exactly what to get you
So that's our education for this week folks. Join me again next Wednesday for another installment of 'Pardon the language but what the hell are they talking about?' Until then I'll have another wine review on Sunday!

July 15th, 2009 is Chase Bank's final day to OPT OUT of their decision to raise the monthly minimum payment from 2% to 5% on over a million of their most trustworthy and reliable customers.
If July 15th. 2009 passes and Chase Bank does not reverse their 2% to 5% monthly minimum payment demand on over a million of their most trustworthy customers, or at the very least offer an OPT OUT OPTION, then one Chase Bank board member must resign.
Of course, the 2% to 5% reversal or and OPT OUT OPTION will still need to happen even if a board member resigns.
Accept no substitutions, lets have a plan and stick to it.

I would like to point out
Although I've been (unjustly, in my opinion) accused of being snarky in the face of victory, twas not I who let out an ear-piercing, blood-curdling scream of intense pleasure when we momentarily (emphasis on "momentarily") took the lead in last night's little trivia contest.
Okay, I may have whooped it up, a bit, just a tiny bit, but no one's ears were left ringing afterward. So there.
Neener neener.

Conserving Water While Maintaining Roads
There have been concerns by Fremont County residents about the water used for roadway maintenance during such drought conditions.
While we are conserving water as much as possible, it is necessary to apply water to the roads for some of the more critical operations-such as dust suppressant and major blading/grading operations. Water preserves the gravel on the road and holds the road together both during and after blading, as well as keeping the dust down. If water was not used while blading, we would be sending our crews back out to blade the next day-thereby wasting even more manpower and equipment hours. We are not using the water merely as a dust suppressant-which would be wasteful. We are mindful of the issue and are conserving our resources and budget dollars as best we can. Anyone wishing to discuss road issues or concerns may contact FCDOT directly at 275-2047.

Jim Kershner's This day in history » On the Web: spokesman.com/topics/local-history
Tue., March 6, 2012
From our archives, 100 years ago
The Spokane Daily Chronicle ran photos of the new Lewis and Clark High School, which was preparing for its grand opening. It showed the "forge room in the basement," which the paper declared to be the most "modern and up-to-date in the West."
It also showed the "bookkeeping room" and the "domestic science room, where the girls will be taught the art of cookery."
The school was scheduled to open in April 1912. Nearly two years earlier, South Central High School, on the same site, burned down in a devastating fire. Students had been attending North Central High School during construction.
From the truant beat: A trio of 14-year-old boys from Spokane decided they wanted to ditch school and embark on an adventure in the wilds of Idaho. They gathered blankets, clothes and a revolver. They stopped at an East Sprague Avenue store to buy groceries and a can of tobacco, and then they started hiking.
They made it only as far as Dishman before a truant officer grabbed them and made them go back to school. The grocer was being served with a warrant for selling tobacco to minors.
Also on this date

1836: The Alamo fell to Mexican forces after a 13-day siege. … 1912: Oreo sandwich cookies were first introduced.

Intended as comedy, it's actually a sad and disturbing rendering of modern relationships. I suppose CBC has, as Canada's self-appointed storyteller, told the story of the modern Canadian man. Perhaps unwittingly but maybe not.
In the video a man comes home with a brand new truck that he bought. Before he even gets in the door of his own house he is attacked by his wife for buying the truck. Watch it in the video. A screaming, foul mouthed, public tirade against a man. The justification for her vicious attack? oh of course these invisible three kids.

Featured Artisan Life Dance Art Studio
By Handmade FuZion on 9:24 AM
Filed Under: Featured Artisan
Luminescent Art for ambiance, for serenity, for renewal of the spirit.
Where are you located? Durango, Colorado
How long have you been creating handmade items? All my life, but especially the last 4 years
What type of products do you offer? At this time, mainly my light sculptures, but I also offer giclee prints of my art and original abstract paintings and multimedia works.
How did you decide on your company's name? LifeDance Art Studio... I like to think of life as a dance, where we learn to step in flow or sometimes stumble and spend some time off balance. Each has its place in our lives for learning and personal growth.
What is your motivation? To create beauty... I feel that beauty calls forth higher consciousness in humanity, and humanity is at a critical stage in its development at this time in history, so anything that inspires higher, expanded consciousness is needed even more right now. We need to recreate the world, and do it from love, joy and creativity at its best.
What do you enjoy most about creating handmade items? I love the design process and watching the creation itself take turns I didn't necessarily plan, feeling I'm co-creating with the Great Creator of the Universe, bringing into being a piece of art as individual and unique as a sunrise or a sunset - each one of a kind. I feel a kind of bliss when I'm creating and watching something beautiful emerge and come to completion.
Which items are your best sellers? So far, light sculptures are a hit. Some of my colorful paintings are favorites with people and I also make frame drums with art on them at times... The drums have been very popular.
How do you market your products? I've been working on marketing online to increase my market beyond my local area, trying many places and strategies and will continue learning and fine-tuning. I plan on placing some of my pieces in local stores in my area in the New Year as well. It's quite a learning process!
What are your favorite features on Handmade fuzion? What new features would you like to see? I think Handmade fuzion is doing fine... I don't have any suggestions at this time; I like the site very much.
Do you have any advice for other artisans? Keep creating and be creative with your marketing as well. Try new things, keep doing what works!

Last Hurrah
Upon revealing the impending nuptuals to my darling cousin, without hesitation, she informed me that she's throwing the bachelorette party (god love 'er). Which is really more of a Maid of Honor thing... but my Maid of Honor is in school full time and has a three year old, so it's just as well my cousin took the reigns.
After a delightful dinner, she presented me with a couple of options. This place will accomodate us with the VIP table, in which I'll have "The Hot Seat." Heh-heh. Just so long as none of them pull a "Gonzo," I'll be alright.
I'm also trying to convince my honey to have his party in the city that night as well. Is that too much? ...I figured since a few of my West Coast male friends will be in town. And we can all meet up at an after-hours, or for breakfast then catch the first train back to Jersey.

Follow this trail to meet the individuals who forged this oasis of self-determination and discover the handcrafted dwellings, parkland, families, and institutions they created."

"Several well known African-American architects such as W. Sidney Pittman and Howard D. Woodson, and many skilled local craftsman designed and built many of its homes. The neighborhood was once home to Nannie Helen Burroughs an early civil rights leader. Deanwood is also home to Suburban Gardens, a black-owned amusement park that served thousands of African-American residents during a time of racial segregation."
This rich and treasured history will create Deanwood's distinct sustainable built environment.
People & Culture
In 2011, the Humanities Council of Washington, DC produced a short film called "An Oral History Of Deanwood: A Self Reliant People." The project was funded by the District of Columbia through the office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development and the Neighborhood Investment Fund. Many of the people who live there have spent their whole lives there. However, there are many vacant lots which have attracted crime and blight. Currently, there are many family lots that are creating affordable housing opportunities.
Current Deanwood News can be found at the "All things about Deanwood" website as well as the Groundwork Anacostia website. In 2007, Groundwork Anacostia formed when a group of neighbors committed to making improvements to their communities located east of the Anacostia River came together to organize their efforts. They are a progressive sub-watershed group who recognize that the Anacostia River, its tributaries and many green spaces are assets in this community and are worthy of improvement for community benefit.
Deanwood is part of the Watts Branch tributary of the Anacostia River. This is the largest tributary to the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. The District Department of the Environment recently completed Habitat Restoration project of the Watts Branch Stream. This is one part of a multi-agency, collaborative effort to improve water quality of the Watts Branch watershed and the Anacostia River. "Anacostia Waterfront, Green Neighborhood, Green Watershed: Greening the Watts Branch Stream Valley" published by the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative, shows the strong value placed on preserving the ecology of this community. Much of Deanwood was still countryside until the early 20th century. Historically large tracts of land were used by the community for farming until as recently as the middle of the 1900s.
Scale Jumping Potential
LBC version 3.0 defines Scale Jumping as an acknowledgement that the ideal scale for solutions is not always within a building's property boundary. For example, infrastructure or urban agriculture can be implemented on a community scale. The Dix St & 58th site presents several opportunities for cooperative functions within the neighborhood of Deanwood and beyond.
Availability of a soils and/or geotechnical report is not anticipated and project teams are advised to adhere to best practices for structural and civil design strategies common in the region.
Building Codes and Regulations
Known conflicts exist between LBC version 3.0 and DC regulations. Entrants that intend to propose variances to facilitate change in the current code must provide a narrative with their submission describing what elements of the DC Building Code must be altered.
DC Building Codes and Regulations include but are not limited to:
DCRA Regulations and Building Codes
- Dix St & 58th St, NE is in Zone District C-2-A – Permits matter-of-right low density development, including office employment centers, shopping centers, medium-bulk mixed use centers, and housing to a maximum lot occupancy of 60% for residential use and 100% for all other uses, a maximum FAR of 2.5 for residential use and 1.5 FAR for other permitted uses, and a maximum height of fifty (50) feet.

Far from the chaotic energy of other Australian cities, such as Sydney and Melbourne, Perth hosts a very laid-back vibe. But given its geography, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Closer to Indonesia than Adelaide and surrounded by world-renowned beaches and postcard-worthy landscapes, Perth is one of the most remote cities in the world.
It's this unique characteristic that allows it to maintain its sleepy coastal town charm, which attracts travelers who seek the welcome isolation of a relaxed beach town without being completely cut off from modern amenities to be found in the city of Perth.
The city is gradually gaining interest from popular lifestyle and travel magazines, such as Travel+Leisure and Vogue, who include it in their lists of recommendations for best travel destinations. Read more on this article: http://bit.ly/2oLm8hQ

Free Speech
Abortion Rights
Operation Rescue Faces Challenge Of Saving Itself
by CHARLES E. SHEPARD, The Washington Post
December 8, 1991
Randall A. Terry stood back, waving off a local reporter's request for a few words and melting into the solemn crowd of 800 anti-abortion protesters circling a Binghamton, N.Y., medical clinic last month under a gray, blustery sky. It was an unfamiliar role, a reflection of how much had changed for Terry and his organization, Operation Rescue, since their blockades of abortion clinics first seized national attention in 1988. Scanning the Binghamton marchers, Terry remembered the thrill of leading his troops into battle, the exhilaration of fashioning a thousand people into a human wall that few would try to breach.
Local abortion foes applaud ruling
By Mariella Savidge Of The Morning Call
February 27, 2003
Joe O'Hara will trek from his Luzerne County home Saturday to the Allentown Women's Center to protest abortion just as he has every other week for more than 20 years. He and his group again will carry pictures of dismembered fetuses and obey the rules stated in the 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act. They will not touch any of the patients, nor will they block their access to the clinic in Hanover Township, Lehigh County. O'Hara, 72, who has been arrested more than 100 times for his efforts, was among the many defendants in NOW vs. Scheidler, a lawsuit filed in 1986 by the National Organization for Women.
Court Hears Arguments In Operation Rescue Case Operation Rescue Faces High Court
by RUTH MARCUS, The Washington Post
October 17, 1991
The Supreme Court heard oral argument yesterday about whether a federal civil rights law -- and federal law enforcement officers -- can be used to stop anti-abortion "Operation Rescue" protesters who blockade abortion clinics. The case, which rose from 1989 Operation Rescue protests at clinics in the Washington area, raises the same legal question as the Wichita protests this summer: whether the federal civil rights law known as the Ku Klux Klan Act can be used as a basis for enjoining such conduct.
Law Markedly Cuts Abortion Clinic Violence * The Federal Act Also Puts A Damper On Large Volunteer Protests That Drew Thousands.
by RICHARD A. SERRANO, The Los Angeles Times
December 9, 1996
Fifteen years of volatile and sometimes violent protests at U.S. abortion clinics have quietly come to a close, snuffed out in large part by a federal law designed to protect people inside and around women's health centers. The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, passed after a series of slayings by anti-abortion protesters, makes it a federal criminal violation to harm, threaten or harass anyone entering or leaving a clinic. It also has had the surprising effect of helping to all but shut down many of the large volunteer demonstrations that drew thousands of anti-abortion protesters and widespread public attention to the front doors of clinics around the nation.
Operation Rescue Are Confrontations Helping Or Hurting Cause?
by MICHAEL J. McMANUS
August 10, 1991
Two weeks ago, I got a call from a reader, Carolyn Silvis, who said, "We have made Wichita America's first abortion-free city. As a result of Operation Rescue, three abortion clinics have closed down for a week." After they reopened, hundreds of demonstrators blocked access to the clinics for many hours daily. When police came to arrest them, many would go limp, forcing police to carry them to vans to slow the process down. As women came for abortions, "sidewalk counselors" tried to talk them out of it. At times, the protesters shouted intimidatingly at the women.
Prayer And Protest
The Morning Call
April 28, 1992
Operation Rescue demonstrators pray outside the office of Dr. Parvis Taefi in Buffalo, N.Y., yesterday, to protest abortion. The organization's `Spring of Life' campaign entered its eighth day yesterday. Abortion rights activists, also on the scene, said Operation Rescue's failure to close any of Buffalo's four clinics was proof that the campaign had failed. The number of protesters dropped below 500 yesterday. The following fields overflowed: STYPE = PHOTO STORY NATION BRIEFS
Louisiana Protest
The Morning Call
July 11, 1992
The Rev. Keith Tucci, leader of Operation Rescue, argues with abortion rights advocates outside a Baton Rouge, La., abortion clinic. Earlier, Operation Rescue demonstrators charged police lines in their most aggressive attempt to close the city's only abortion clinic. Police made 45 arrests, including some abortion-rights supporters. No serious injuries were reported. Police estimated the crowd of protesters and counter-protesters around the clinic yesterday morning at 1,000.
Abortion Protest Arrests
The Morning Call
April 29, 1992
Buffalo area police detain Operation Rescue protesters who crossed barricades yesterday outside the Erie Medical Center in Buffalo. More than 75 people were arrested. Also yesterday, federal marshals were ordered to arrest five anti-abortion leaders accused of violating a judge's injunction prohibiting them from blockading such abortion clinics.
L.v. Anti-abortion Leader Says Group Won't Break Law
by LEONEL SANCHEZ, The Morning Call
March 24, 1989
Anti-abortion demonstrators in the Lehigh Valley march, protest, and picket, but they do not break the law, David Solove, leader of the 2,000- member Christian Action Council of the Lehigh Valley, said yesterday. Solove was responding to questions about the Christian Action Council's relationship with the New York-based Operation Rescue whose leaders said they would defy a federal court order today and block entrances to abortion clinics in the Philadelphia area. Solove said his group was approached by Operation Rescue leaders to participate in civil disobedience-styled protests, but it declined.
High Court Sanctions Lawbreaking
The Morning Call
January 17, 1993
It was a legal stretch by Justice Antonin Scalia. Because men and women are on both sides of the abortion issue and both sides of Operation Rescue's "unlawful demonstrations" -- Justice Scalia's words -- women are not a "class" entitled to protection under the 1871 Ku Klux Klan Act. Therefore U.S. courts cannot take action against Operation Rescue's hoodlum-like blockades of abortion clinics. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor begged to differ in her dissent. "The victims (of Operation Rescue's)
Doctor Wins Record Judgment Against Abortion Protesters
The New York Times
October 26, 1995
A jury in a federal court here awarded an obstetrician-gynecologist $8.6 million yesterday from abortion opponents who, the doctor said, drove him from his practice, followed and harassed him around the clock, and repeatedly threatened his life and that of his wife. The award, a record for a judgment against abortion protesters, was a dramatic blow to the anti-abortion movement, which recently had scored a series of political and public relations triumphs. It was all the more stunning for having occurred in Dallas, a center of the movement and of religious fundamentalism.
Atmosphere Of Hate Breeds Anti-u.s. Violence
The Morning Call
July 3, 1995
To the Editor: The shame of the Oklahoma bombing belongs to the atmosphere promoted by people who join or listen to the Liddys, Limbaughs, Operation Rescue, the KKK, neo-Nazis, religious shows that preach meanness towards anyone who does not believe as they do, and the hate agenda put forward by the National Rifle Association. I am a gun owner and hunter and I am not afraid of the government taking my guns away. There should be gun regulations just as there are driving regulations and hunting regulations.
Lehigh University To Host Anti-abortion Conference
The Morning Call
October 7, 1994
An anti-abortion conference will be held at Lehigh University today through Sunday on the fourth floor of the University Center. The conference is sponsored by Lehigh for Life, a non-denominational anti-abortion group at Lehigh, and the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Federation for Life. Though the conference is geared toward college students, members of the community are welcome to attend. The title of the conference, "Not Enough Flowers," is based on the quote from Mother Teresa, "How can there be too many children?
Violent Extremism In U.s. Fueled By Air Of Hate In Politics
by ANTHONY LEWIS (A free-lance story for The Morning Call). New York Times News Service
August 2, 1994
When Americans hear about fundamentalist zealotry in another culture than our own, we have no trouble recognizing the danger it presents. The suicide car bomb, the Ayatollah Khomeini's fatwa against Salman Rushdie, the marchers in Bangladesh demanding the death of another writer, Taslima Nasrin: We shudder at such terror in the name of God. But fanaticism in our midst we take less seriously. When a nicely dressed American preaches that absolute revealed truth justifies extremist action, most of us do not see the menace to civilized life.
Abortion Protesters' Free Speech Ends Where Harassment Begins
by ANNA QUINDLEN (A free-lance story for The Morning Call)
July 12, 1994
The protesters are across the street from the Aware Woman clinic, on the lawn of the house they purchased last year, reportedly for cash. Across the street is still plenty close, so that if you're lying on the table having an abortion you can hear the voices clearly, "Mommy, don't kill your baby," carried on the thick and muggy air. "They're bellowing big time out there," said Patricia Baird Windle, "no matter what Justice Rehnquist said." What Chief Justice William Rehnquist, and the others who joined him June 30 for the majority, said of Aware Woman and places like it is that our interest in free speech can be balanced with reasonable restrictions designed to safeguard the rights of patients and staff.
Court Walks Fine Line On Speech
The Morning Call
July 6, 1994
Chief Justice William Rehnquist was one of the dissenters in 1973's Roe v. Wade decision upholding a woman's right to access to an abortion. So it is significant that last week he wrote the Supreme Court's decision banning anti-abortion demonstrations within 36 feet of a Florida abortion clinic. It was, as Justice Antonin Scalia argued in a petulant dissent, a free speech case, not an abortion case. At issue was the constitutional right of zealous foes of abortion to express their opposition against the constitutional right of women to obtain abortions.
Abortion Foes Seek Clinic Blockage Rights
by DAVID G. SAVAGE, The Los Angeles Times
October 7, 1992
Lawyers for the Bush administration and the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue urged the Supreme Court yesterday to declare that federal judges have no power to break up human blockades of abortion clinics. Department of Justice attorney John Roberts Jr. said that the administration does not defend the tactics of Operation Rescue and other anti-abortion groups that block access to clinics, but he argued that the issue should be left to state courts to decide. At issue is whether a post-Civil War measure known as the Ku Klux Klan Act can be applied to the modern-day fight over abortion.
Ban On Abortion Clinic Protests Gives High Court A Tough Case
by JAMES J. KILPATRICK (A free-lance story for The Morning Call). Universal Press Syndicate
May 23, 1994
In Melbourne, Fla., a little more than a year ago, an anti-abortion demonstrator stood on a ladder outside an abortion clinic. She shouted over a fence to a clinic employee inside: "Ruth, Ruth! I pray that God strikes you dead! In the name of Jesus, I pray Jesus strikes you dead! I pray for your death in the name of Jesus." Was this free speech, which must be protected? Or was it wrongful conduct, which may be enjoined? The Supreme Court will take one more look at the issue when it decides Madsen v. Aware Woman Center for Choice.
New Target Put In Sights Of Rico Law
The Morning Call
January 26, 1994
The question before the Supreme Court was narrow. Does the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970 require proof that either a racketeering enterprise or resulting acts of racketeering were economically motivated? The answer was simple: No. Beyond that lie possibly broad implications. For the unanimous ruling allows the National Organization for Women and allied organizations to press RICO actions against Operation Rescue and other anti-abortion organizations forcibly blocking access to abortion clinics.

Randy Quaid, the much more famous brother of Dennis Quaid, has come out recently saying that adding to the conspiracy of the 27 Club, Starwhacking, is what is happening to our greatest stars.
The many celebrities who have died in our past 2 years, including Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy and David Carradine, have been claimed as being apart of a group of people who have been killed just for being famous.
Of course, this is another long line of people who have noticed patterns in things and decided that it is instantly a conspiracy theory. Things happen for a reason, is probably the worst thing to say, when the worst thing has happened, but saying they're just random, doesn't makes any victim or grieving person feel better. I think Quaid's reaction is human at the very least and to say he's mad or a crackpot would be falling into the stereotype that most comic actors (who have had little work) are bored, depressed or are mentally ill.
But having Quaid say this shortly after this Cracked article can't really bode well with the man's reputation, but the man is upset at the very least and not mad. Now, if he starts pushing for another ID4 movie, where he comes back as a drunk ghost or he starts shitting in people's chimney's at Christmas, then we got something else entirely on our hands.

Do you shoot first and ask questions later?
Reacting vs. Responding is dangerous.
Start your training now: will this matter next week? in a month? next year? in the light of eternity does this make the cut? I can let go of a
Seven Day Blog series begins today!
PART ONE: Press Pause
We get the most practice on Responding to a situation instead of Reacting to a situation with those we are closest with – our family! Is the offense scream-worthy? Are my feelings hurt? Who has wounded me? Is it a perceived injury or a real one? Am I lashing out at someone close because I cannot or don't want to lash out at the true offender? A slew of questions can run through your mind – and they should.
Sally said to Harry not to "express every emotion you have the moment you have it." Press Pause. Don't "stuff it" and not deal with it – but give yourself time for proper assessment. Press Pause. Years ago, my husband and I attended a marriage retreat which gave us time to connect over pieces of our lives that might trouble us when they weren't troubling us. Let me say that plainly: we talked about the problems when there wasn't a problem.
When there's something truly bothering you, it's going to bother you later that day, week, or month. Often, the thing that bothers you is a symptom of a larger issue and doesn't truly hit the heart of the matter.
Blowing up over the situation (reacting), put simply, doesn't help. It often hurts, alienates, and creates a rift in relationships to mend.
When you choose to pause, to "hold onto" that emotion for later, you give yourself and those you love most, the gift of time (this does not mean to stew in discontent). Time is a precious commodity. Time offers you the chance to be curious about the situation, interrogate yourself, look at it from another perspective, resolve it internally without others' involvement, or formulate questions to gain better understanding. Time lets you calmly and rationally verbalize your emotions and feelings in a way that another will properly receive them.
