Synopsis: Book 1 in the Winters Saga Series begins with Lone Wolf Rising
Revenge has deadly consequences. Seventeen year old Rebecca Winters' main goal for ten years has been to graduate high school and take down the people who killed her parents. When she stumbled upon a werewolf pack in the middle of Phoenix, she knew she'd found a way to make her dream come true. Instead of getting vengeance, an act of war has put her into a position of power and forces her to put her thirst for family justice on a temporary hold.
He is duty bound to protect her. Lucian (Lucky) Lamont is a member of the Protectors, an elite supernatural police force who works for the Authority. Their main goal is to keep humans in the dark about the creatures who live among them. Lucky is assigned to protect and manage Rebecca, despite her refusal of help. His cover is simple; he poses as the dutiful 'pretend' boyfriend in order to keep an eye on the new alpha wolf.
She is his mate.
Gabriel Black though taking his pack back from the witch who was chosen as the new alpha would be simple. He thought wrong. His entire world was turned upside down the moment he met Rebecca at the Authority Council meeting…and he was hooked the moment he kissed her to prove she wasn't dating his best friend, Lucky.
It's like being torn between two lovers.
Rebecca is pulled in hundreds of different directions while she attempts to find a way to survive the supernatural world, protect her family, and discover who massacred her entire pack days before her first transformation. She doesn't have time for romance.
But the heart wants what the heart wants.
And the wolf gets what the wolf wants – or so her alpha believes. While Rebecca manages to keep her head above water as she unlocks political and family secrets which could destroy her, she loses sight of the most important people in her life and one of them pays the ultimate price.
Excerpt: "What are you doing here, Gabriel?" Rebecca crossed her arms over her chest.
"I see you two do know each other. He was—" Savannah started talking, only to be interrupted again, this time by Gabriel.
"I was looking for you when I got the lovely pleasure of meeting your sister and brother," Gabriel stated simply. "She offered to help me find you."
"I told you that I would contact you. So, I ask again, what're you doing here?" Rebecca didn't like him around her family, not until she trusted him. There was obviously a reason why he was a rogue wolf and not a member of the pack. A reason she hadn't discovered up to this point and until she did there was no reason to trust him.
"I didn't know that my presence would be unwelcome." He glanced over at Lucky. "Perhaps that's because you don't want the others to know you have a guard dog."
"Guard dog?" Savannah's forehead creased in confusion.
"Lucky is my boyfriend," Rebecca said the words too fast.
Gabriel chuckled. "Really? How convenient."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lucky took a step forward, but Rebecca motioned for him to stay beside her. She needed to show strength.
"I'm sorry, just the fact that you met a few days ago and today you're dating." He flicked something off his dark green T-shirt which accented his emerald green eyes perfectly. "Seems a little suspect, don't you think?"
"A few days ago?" Savannah continued to get confused and this time the expression she sent Rebecca was one of hurt. She felt she was lied too, Rebecca could see it written all over her face. Rebecca could tell Savvy wanted to ask more, but Gabriel continued on with his deductive reasoning and Becca's heart thumped a little faster at the danger zone they were quickly entering.
"That morsel of information coupled with the fact that I have known Lucky for most of my life, and he has never settled down or made any kind of commitment to another woman, even his mother, makes me question the validity of your relationship." Gabriel somehow maneuvered himself between Savvy and Rebecca as he tilted his head in a look that made Becca think he was judging her.
The heat that rose between them was instant and made her forget everyone else. Something about Gabriel intrigued Rebecca like no other, not even Lucky. Her wolf wanted to control him, her heart wanted to know him, and her mind wanted to trust him. But none of that would happen anytime soon. There was too much happening, too many things that needed to be worked out before other matters could be addressed. He was going to have to take a back seat on this ride for a while until she figured things out.
"What can I say, I'm a changed man." Lucky stepped in the tight space between Gabriel and Rebecca. He pulled her close and before she knew what was happening his lips crushed hers. Rebecca's senses pressed the overload switch in her mind as sensations shot through her body at super speed. One thing was for certain, Lucky knew how to kiss. It was earth shattering. Rebecca was compelled to reciprocate as her hands wrapped around his neck and her body pressed against his.
The kiss was abruptly ended when Gabriel spun Rebecca around. Her body slammed against his rock hard chest. Without a word he crushed his lips on hers and adrenaline shot through her once more, only this was different, her wolf was increasing the intensity. It was like a roller coaster ride of emotions as her body reacted to his kiss. Her wolf assumed the control. All sense escaped her mind when his tongue rolled over her lips and she mentally cringed as a sigh escaped her lips when he pushed through the barrier those they made with ease. The kiss was almost violent as he alternated between licks and tiny nips on her lips. One even broke the skin. When that happened it was all over.
As quickly as the kiss started it ended. He pushed Rebecca back and stared at her as though she'd bit him. But it was he that bit her. She pressed her finger to her lightly bruised lip which was healing fast leaving only a few drops of blood on swollen lips. She could taste the coppery liquid on her tongue. There was no passion in the look Gabriel gave her, only discomfort and shock. The look knocked her ego down as she quickly rubbed her lips to remove all traces of him from her. His reaction intrigued the wolf and she realized the wolf was enjoying the chase, always the predator. Damn her!
"As you can see, a kiss can be faked." His tone was sharp and pointed like a serrated knife blade sawing into her confidence. His razor sharp tongue had knocked her down a few notches just as Lucky's fist abruptly knocked Gabriel down on his rear.
"Don't you ever touch my girl again!" The fierce protection that sang from his eyes and tense body reminded Rebecca of a coiled snake ready to strike again if the threat remained.
Gabriel spit blood from the cut on his lips. "I was simply trying to prove a point." His green eyes found her again. "You need us, Rebecca. Whether you like it or not, you do. I could've done much more than kiss you in those few moments." He glanced over at Savannah and Hunter. They were both watching in shock at the scene playing out in front of them. "If that doesn't convince you, think of your family."

Aditi Singh Sharma, who stole hearts with her songs 'Dhoom Machale', 'Choomantar', 'Heroine' among others, has been rocking the party scenes with her latest number 'What the Fark' from AMIT SAHNI KI LIST.
'What the Fark' has been composed by Palash Muchhal, probably one of the youngest composers Bollywood has currently.
Quiz Aditi about him and she confesses, "Palash is an amazing person. And not only Palash but even his sister Palak who is an awesome singer. It is excellent to see both the siblings (Palash and Palak Muchhal) do some great work at this young age," she continues, "Right after recording this song, I had been to Dubai with Palak and Palash for the Dubai unwired show, and that was so much fun. The kind of genre they have picked up is amazing. It is commendable to do this kind of work. And apart from music, the other things like charity and all what they do is just incredible."
Meanwhile, AMIT SAHNI KI LIST which stars Vir Das and Vega Tamotia is all set to release on July 18, 2014.

A movie by Paul Flynn
"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music"
"All our science measured against reality, is primitive and childlike - and yet, in contemporary consensus, its the most precious thing we have"
The plan for a new world order is as old as the experiment "The New World." The new world being the USA. It was an experiment to show the people, they will eventually all fall for security provided by the state instead of freedom of the individual But at last, the plan is much older....
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." -- Ephesians 6:12
The real power behind the New World Order is Satan and his fallen angels. The Bible both in the Psalms and in Revelation calls them the rulers of the earth and that the kings of the earth work with them preparing the way for the rule of one they call the beast half man half fallen angel. The problem is Satan's kingdom as Jesus told us is divided there is a civil war taking place; the seventy fallen angels who God put in charge over the Gentile nations of the earth at Babel are putting up a fight and their leader is the Prince of Persia. They took control of the earth from the last One World Government under Nimrod now that same system is returning and Iran ancient Persia stands in the way. The story is played out prophetically in the book of Judges with Gideons sons of which there were seventy and their half brother who had them beheaded. The movie Immortals also portrays the same battle that is now beginning to take place. Another interesting thought according to Jewish and occcult tradition and writings the only person who had the knowledge to control these seventy angels was Solomon through his ring and seal he was able to control these angels. This same seal is now on the flag of the nation of Israel placed there by the Rothschilds. Was this part of the knowledge the secret societies have been searching for through the ages. The only place in the Bible the number 666 is mentioned apart from Revelation is in regard to Solomon. Nimrod is linked to the beast in Revelation if you look at Micah Ch 5 the numbers seven and eight reflect the same numbers as in Revelation he is the eighth but one of the seven. Seven shepherds eight princes a mixture of fallen angel and man one leader to unite Satans kingdom against the Kingdom of Heaven. Micah also mentions a door gateway or entrance in regard to the land of Nimrod which is where he built his tower of Babel is this the other knowledge the secret societies and the shadow governments are searching for the stargate to take the Antichrist and his demonic angelic army into the spiritual realms up until now forbidden to them; to take them into the very throne room of God. This is what Nimrod intended to do according to ancient texts the AntiChrist is fulfilling his father's plan to ascend into the place of the Most High

"We are at the year 1908, which was the year that the Carnegie began operations, and in that year, the trustees meeting for the first time, raised a specific question, which they discussed throughout the balance of the year in a very learned fashion. And the question is, Is there any means known more effective than war, assuming you wish to alter the life of an entire people? They conclude that no more effective means than war, to that end, is known to humanity."

Hidden Agenda Transcript
Nice film.
The Jesuits however where not discussed. I know that the Black Pope is the head of Freemasonry, but I have know knowledge on the role of Jesuitism within Theosophy. I get confused, when the leading role of Roman Catholicism is left out off informative material like this. Especially when Christianity plays such a large role. Because Roman Catholicism also teaches Jesus Christs as a savior, while addressing the person rather than the teaching.
Therefor I am off the opinion, that the movie would be stronger, when the role of Counter Reformation would be in the middle of the deceit. It was the Roman Catholic Church that was burning Bibles in the 16th century, would try to falsify the Bible in later centuries, not Luciferians. At least, not open Luciferians, as are presented in the movie. An open Luciferian at least is honest. It is the Luciferians posing as Christians that are the most dangerous ones. I hope people will be aware of the deceit in the Jesuit run churches after this film. We should take our gatherings back, but that is impossible if Luciferians posing as Christian Leaders can not be traced and eliminated from gatherings.
Some Christian leaders where presented in the first part of the movie. How can the audience discern between a false Church leader, and a humble Gathering guy spreading life saving knowledge?
NTR – Paul Flynn Interview – The Power Behind the New World Order
Baʿal is a title meaning "lord" that was applied to a number of West Semitic gods.[1] Baal Hadad, probably the most widely worshiped Baal, was worshiped by Arameans who brought his worship to other parts of the Mediterranean. Early demonologists, unaware of Hadad or that the instances of the term "Baʿal" in the Bible referred to any number of local deities, few to none of them referring to Hadad, came to regard the term as referring to but one personage. Until archaeological digs at Ras Shamra and Ebla uncovered texts explaining the Syrian pantheon, the Baʿal Zebûb was frequently confused with various Semitic deities named Baʿal, and in the New Testament might refer to a high-ranking devil or to Satan himself.[2][3] The Biblical and historical evidence shows that the Moabites worshiped a Baal.

The First Few Minutes of World War III Will Look Like 2012-2013 MIRRORED – YouTube

Contrary to conventional thinking, which suggests that an attack on Iran would be restricted only to that country and an easy victory for Western powers similar to that of the first Gulf War, John Galt paints a markedly different picture in How Iran could Win a War against Israel and the United States in One Hour:
In less than sixty minutes, the tiny nation of Iran could easily defeat two of the mightiest military powers in the world if they are allowed to engage in a first strike opportunity against both of those nations. This is not some far-fetched idea as U.S. and Israeli military planners are keenly aware of the implications of an Iranian attack which catches both nations off guard. The problem is not one of strategy or ability by either nation. The military units of both nations could easily defeat the Iranians in a nuclear or conventional war. However, Iran is not a conventional nation-state nor is the modern concept applicable to the confrontation which is coming.
If Iran were to attack, it would be the ultimate one shot "use it or lose it" approach to all strategic, conventional, and non-conventional forces.
Source: John Galt FLA
Among other things, Galt points out that Iranian operatives have already been embedded in the United States through various means, including legal immigration for work and school. This suggests that at the onset of any confrontation those assets would be immediately deployed across the United States in various capacities, including direct attacks on 'soft targets' such as schools, malls and public venues.
Moreover, while the Israelis will have overwhelming military support from the United States and access to their own nuclear weapons (never acknowledged but well know in military circles), the Iranians may very well have already manufactured short-range nuclear warheads capable of striking Jerusalem (and are reportedly developing long-range missiles capable of striking domestic U.S. targets). The Israelis certainly believe this to be true, as they have recently indicated that they have until summertime to disable and destroy Iran's nuclear reactors, and the United States is reportedly deploying at least 100,000 troops just outside of the Strait of Hormuz to be ready by this spring.
The propaganda is being disseminated in earnest on both sides — with the United States and Israel openly discussing the possibility of attacking Iran as early as March, while at the same time Iranian news agencies with support from supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are actively promoting the narrative to "kill all Jews and annihilate Israel."
No, any conflict with Iran will be nothing like the first Gulf War, and as has been opined on this web site and many others in the alternative news sphere, may very well be the first engagement of a war that will envelop the entire globe, including Russia and China.
The following short film takes place one year from today and depicts the first few minutes of what World War III may look like. The setting, however, is not Iran, but rather, Israel's capital city of Jerusalem.lamarzulli.wordpress.com...
This is all a set up for The New World Order being put into place.
I hope I'm wrong, but we're on the edge folks, right on the edge.edit on 26-8-2012 by ofhumandescent because: (no reason given)
"The USA is the foremost enemy of Islam. It is a terrorist state by nature that has set fire to everything everywhere and its ally, the international Zionism does not stop short of any crime to achieve its base and greedy desires, crimes that the tongue and pen are ashamed to utter or write. The stupid idea of a Greater Israel ...(36) urges them to commit any shameful crime. What can be a better source of pride than the fact that the USA with all its military might, its boastfulness, its claims, its mass media and its allies among puppet regimes, has been so dumbfounded and disgraced in its dealings with the dauntless Iranian nation and the land of His Holiness Baqiyatullah (a title of the 12th infallible imam, Hazrat Mahdi (AS) who is now in occultation) that it does not know which way to turn and who to turn to?!! This is not the work of anyone or anything except divine assistance that has awakened nations, particularly the Iranian Muslim nation and has guided it from darkness into light: The Light of Islam. I now take this opportunity to advise the oppressed and noble nations, including our own, to stay firmly on this divine straight path that leads neither to the atheistic (Mulhid) East nor to the oppressive, pagan West, but to the path which the Almighty God has decreed for us." server32.irna.com...
"""The solution of the Islamic Republic to the issue of Palestine and this old wound is a clear and logical proposal that is based on political wisdom accepted by global public opinion and it has been presented in detail previously. We neither propose a classical war with the armies of Islamic countries, nor do we propose throwing Jewish immigrants into the sea or intervention of the United Nations and other international organizations. We propose a referendum among the Palestinian people. Just like any other nation, the Palestinian nation has the right to determine its own destiny and to elect its own government. All the original people of Palestine - including Muslims, Christians and Jews and not foreign immigrants - should take part in a general and orderly referendum and determine the future government of Palestine whether they live inside Palestine or in camps or in any other place. The government that is established after the referendum will determine the destiny of non-Palestinian immigrants who migrated to Palestine in the past. This is a fair and logical proposal which global public opinion understands and it can receive support from independent nations and governments.""""

According to recent reports, the US leads the globe in weapons sales. In 2011, arms deals tripled to a record high resulting in over $66 billion in revenue. In the global market, the US accounts for 79 percent of weapons sales with most of the clientele being in the Persian Gulf. So how did America become the number one sales dealer worldwide? Anthony Shaffer, with the Center for Advanced Defense Studies, joins us with his take on the sales of arms.

I've been down lately. Not down, down – just a bit unmotivated. Lots of things going on. Lots & lots. So I'm busy, but I've only continued to move ahead because it's what I'm supposed to do. But I haven't been trudging forward because I want to. Know what I mean?
It's a funny thing, life. You can feel like I've been feeling for a long while and out of nowhere, something hits you with an injection of life. When it feels like everything in your chest suddenly warmed up. A sunrise hitting your face on a frosty morning. You're probably dying to know what the hell it was by now. Sorry. As with many things, I found it on Reddit.
A user named "Whiskkas" posted the photo below with the following title:
While waiting tables tonight, a mother and daughter started crying mid-meal. I had no idea what happened until a single guy at the table next to them handed me this note with his bill. Faith in humanity, restored.
I hope the family who found out about their diagnosis fight their disease and continue to have more happier moments for a really long time. To the person who extended the gesture … I wish more of us were like you. The world would be a much better place.

The release of our 2015 Ribbon Ridge Estate Chardonnay this week comes at a time when we've just harvested our first-ever Chardonnay from one of our other vineyards, the Coast Range estate. We're excited to produce two Chardonnays made from the same grape clones, same farming, same fermentation, and same selection of French oak barrels, but that end up being quite different due to the unique qualities of each vineyard.
One advantage of having multiple vineyards is the opportunity to taste how the individual terroir can be responsible for variations in aroma and flavor. Dating to 40 million years old, soils from our Ribbon Ridge estate are composed of marine sediments that were once under the Pacific Ocean. Within the gently sloping vineyard, we find a mixture high-quartz sandstone and weathered bedrock — made up of Bellpine, Sitton, Wellsdale, and Dupee from the Willakenzie series.
We find an older suite of rocks and minerals at our Coast Range estate. Located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, the steep hillsides are 45 million years old and host an extremely diverse collection of soils. Sedimentary rock and intrusive volcanic basalts have created Trisaetum's most rugged vineyard, with terrain that gradually climbs into Oregon's Coast Range Mountains. A combination of sedimentary Hazelair and Bellpine, as well as volcanic Jory, Gelderman, Nekia, and Witzel form the Coast Range estate terroir.
Dijon 76, 95, 548, and Davis 108 grape clones were planted in both vineyards. The inaugural 2015 single vineyard Chardonnay from Ribbon Ridge displays aromas of lemon zest, vanilla bean, and cloves with notes of crisp Fuji Apples, Bartlett Pears, and a vein of minerality on the palate. Our 2016 Coast Range Estate Chardonnay is halfway through its fermentation and has developed a fascinating difference in character. We're already looking forward to tasting their side-by-side expressions of flavor this time next year!
A symbolic move towards the end of harvest came this week when we dismantled the sorting line. Out goes the processing equipment and destemmer, in comes an assortment of barrels fermenting white wines from all three Trisaetum vineyards!

Bleaching ACE (Advanced Control Expert)
The solution for optimizing the control of bleach plants
ANDRITZ Bleaching ACE is a control optimization system powered by BrainWave that stabilizes brightness and pH to improve the efficiency of bleach plants.
ACE starts by closing loops and stabilizing operations with the patented BrainWave controller. After BrainWave has stabilized the process, ACE is then added as a supervisory layer. It further stabilizes and optimizes process control, and thus minimizes the chemical consumption and improves the bleached pulp quality. ACE performance analyzers automatically select the optimal "bleaching recipe". ACE calculates the optimal sequence of brightness target values for each bleaching stage, depending on incoming kappa and based on the historical results of the bleach plant's operation. During various operating conditions, ACE records data such as chemical consumption in relation to measured kappa and the resulting brightness increase.
ACE's line performance analyzer collects individual stage performance from the pulp processing history tracking system, and presents and records this data in a synchronized format. Based on the production rate management and data tracking system, ACE will analyze whether the change in the individual bleaching stage has been successful or not. If the data was successful, the database will save the successful parameters as an accepted control operation, and will increase the points checked for successful operations. ACE's target value analyzer provides optimum target values for individual bleaching stages.

thanks and support
hey y'all. thank you for the outpouring of support for the suicidal ideation article- it's been a little over 24 hours and my little blog has gotten 3,500 hits. it's been amazing and overwhelming. however, I'm glad that this piece has been helpful and thought provoking to so many folks. I'm taking a break from the internet over the next couple days to rest and recharge. so far most of the discussion has been awesome. I hope people can continue to self moderate, be kind, and listen to each other rather than attacking or prescribing. I also wanted to list a couple resources for folks looking for more info about radical mental health resources. one, http://theicarusproject.net, is a radical mental health network with some great resources about community support and madness and social justice (they were kind enough to repost this blog. the other, http://fuckyeahselfcare.tumblr.com/, is a great compendium of some different spots on the internet that talk about radical self and community care. and there's another queer femme of color healing/mental health tumblr that I know exists but I'm hunting to find- hang in there and I'll post when I've got it. And Alexis Pauline Gumbs' http://brokenbeautiful.wordpress.com/ is some of the best Queer Black Survivor medicine I know.
when I wrote my article responding to b. loewe's "end to self care" article, I did this, and I'm going to do it again: if you like the piece and have a buck or two (or more) feel free to donate via paypal. I'm a chronically ill, working-class raised freelance writer and organizer. back in the day when more presses and print magazines existed, it was not uncommon for folks to get paid for writing. nowadays, most blogs don't pay for content, and the pool of existing presses and magazines that pay anything continue to shrink. there's absolutely no obligation - but if you like this work and have a little cash, feel free to drop an offering in my online tip jar. ;) there's a paypal button on the front page of my website, or you can paypal directly to brownstargirl at gmail. (if you make it a "living expense" or "gift" , paypal doesn't take a cut.) I want to donate some of what get to a friend of mine living with chronic health conditions who is attempting to finance a move to a safer housing situation.
towards what we are building and all we don't know yet.
suicidal ideation 2.0, queer community leadership, and staying alive anyway: part one of a work in progress.
(please note: this is probably one of the most vulnerable pieces I've ever published. It's a work in progress and I don't feel like it's fully done, but after working on it for six months, I wanted to put it out there to the community- especially at a time when many folks are struggling. please take care as you read it, and please keep in mind that, while I am open to feedback, I would appreciate it if folks could temper critique with kindness)

trigger warning for discussion of suicide and self harm
I've come to hate it when folks start texting me with cryptic messages saying, "Did you know so-and-so?"
For the past two years, each summer, my beloved community in Toronto has lost someone because they killed themself. This year, it was Kyle Scanlon.
And no, I didn't really know him- not well- but I knew of him. Kyle was one of the first transguys I knew who came out within Toronto's queer community in the late 90s. After he passed, many, many trans folks I know remembered how Kyle had come to their workplace or school and told his story, how he was the first other trans person they'd met. How his story and presence helped them name themself as trans and do what they needed to do to affirm the gender spirit that made them feel alive. Kyle was one of the first workers at Meal Trans, the 519 s ( Toronto's queer community center) free dinner program for broke trans folks. He won awards and did trainings. He was one of those queer/trans community-bred and based leaders that everybody thanks, leans on, asks for favors, and is grateful for.
And he killed himself.
After he died, there were the blog posts saying we had to love each other harder and do better. There were the memorial posts that listed all the Distress Centre hotlines for the province. There were the postings of his various memorial articles in the queer biweekly paper on facebook, and everyone's memories. It's what we do. And it so wasn't enough
Moments like this are grief and crash and immense loss. And they're also - maybe- an invitation to go deeper. To be real about suicide. I mean really really for real for real- about shit that people don't want to go there about, or want to boil down into a simple narrative of don't do it you have something to live for! call 911! Even the narratives we have that suicide is the colonizer, is the white supremacist capitalist colonialist ableist patriarchy whispering that we should just take our selves off the planet, that narrative has stopped me from reaching for my Ativan and bourbon or cutting when I didn't want to. But it's also not enough.
I was in Toronto the week after Kyle died, with my family. Everyone was hurting . Some of us at Femme Heartshare Circle were talking about it. About how Wendy Babcock, an amazing street sex worker activist, mama and law student, had died of an overdose last year, and how folks weren't sure if it was intentional or not- and how Wendy's family had used Wendy's history of struggle to discredit her courage in breaking silence to about the abuse she'd survived from them.
One of my friends said, what should we do? Should we have regular red flag check ins with each other, the way we do about relationships? Should I go up to you and ask, Have you been thinking about killing yourself lately? And I thought, if anyone came at me saying, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT KILLING YOURSELF LATELY?, I'd automatically lie and say hell no. The way I have to every single doctor, social worker and most therapists in my life. I don't want anything I can prevent on my permanent record, and I definitely don't want Danger to Self or Others. I've been fighting this my whole life, and I've seen the oppression and hardness that that label can mean to folks in my life who've had it.
But if you normalized it. Because it is normal. This secret. That so many of us wrestle with suicidality. Then maybe, maybe just maybe I'd tell you where it was at.
And maybe we could map the terrain of those ideation places better.
I don't know why Kyle killed himself, and I'm not going to dishonour him by speculating about why he died. I can only talk about how his death, and the regular punctuation of queer and trans and Two Spirit suicides in our 40s in my communities, makes me think.
As a queer or trans or Two Spirit adult, we live within narratives that say that if you just live to grow up, it gets better (Dan Savage is an asshole caveats aside.)
But: what if it gets better and transforms more than you ever expected, but there are also times where it's still crazy, hurts so bad? Maybe hurts worse because it did get better, it got so much better, and also, the struggle did not stop? You ended up sleeping in the back of your station wagon on a mattress pad. Your book went out of print. Your mama died. You were still crazy after all that cum and all those tears. And no one prepared you for a life narrative where maybe struggle and therapy and herbs and miracles healed the pain, but the pain didn't go all the way away. Maybe, as you survived and succeeded, it just got more complex.
Take me. I know it because I am also one of those community leaders. I am one of those community leaders who is 37 now and still sometimes feels so low. My life did get better. I am not the same tortured, dissasociated girl I was. I look good. I'm happy. I'm not strangled by self hatred in the every day every single second of every day way my 18 year old brain knew. I have had the gay sex and art and travel and books and home and all of it. My brain and my spirit and my life and my relationship to trauma has changed, deeply. And I still have suicidal ideation on the regular.
I've had suicidal ideation (where you have repeating thoughts of "I should just kill myself") since I was at least twelve years old. When I was younger- from when I was about 12 to 21- I had periods of months or years where I had to seriously fight suicidality. When I was twenty two, I got away from my abusive family, left the country, made my small, quiet, safe room, and started healing hardcore from the shit I'd grown up in.
Since the therapy and the small quiet safe room and the poetry and the dancing and the friends and lovers and the herbs and the words, since shit stopped being as nuclear fucked up as my childhood was, I don't really really wanna kill myself anymore. I don't have a plan. I don't actively want to do it. I love my life. I am blessed. I am joyful. I am happy. But at times- at times of deep grief, or deep stress, or sometimes even times that aren't even that fucking deep- sometimes, I sit for hours, my wrists on fire with the desire to cut.
I won the Lambda Literary Award this year, and it was one of the best feelings of my life. And three days later, for no damn reason and every damn reason, I left therapy and felt my mood crashing. I tried to drive to a friend's birthday party, but the directions were complicated and I circled five times before giving up and driving home. I crawled into bed at 3 PM and found myself staring at the pillbox on my dresser, thinking, I've got 5 Ativan and a bottle of good bourbon, is that enough?
And I thought, whoa. And I thought, I am 37 and I just won the Lambda Award. I can't tell people I want to kill myself. On my Facebook status update.
I slept. I texted a lover I'd had the sweetest access intimacy with to ask about Wellbutrin. I called friends. I called my witch naturopath in Toronto, who saw me, on Skype, for $20, and asked me, 'What does the depression feel like?" I told her it felt like a slow soft river, that it was good I had a lot of great things in my life, but even when I was in them right then, I couldn't really feel them. And when things did get bad, the direct line to Ishouldjustkillmyself was well marked out. I talked to my therapist, and I started taking 5 HTP, a serotonin precursor.
We believe that working for justice and healing, creating art, and being badasses on our own terms will be part of what heals our hurt. And it is.
But our communities also put enormous pressure on the community based queer leaders we look to, and are. The leadership paradigm that exists within queer and trans social justice communities is still that of the movement/ activist star. As much as we may critique it, we don't quite have another one yet.
(Edited to add: When I say "activist star", I want to be clear what I mean. I don't just mean people who are particularly visible or raised up for their leadership- though I think folks in that position face some unique pressures. I think, however, pressure to not be open about depression, suicidality and the hard places we go hits almost all of us within queer/trans and other identity based communities. We want to have it all together. We don't think it's going to make us more desired or cool or sexy or beloved if we're honest about this stuff. And "community leadership" is sometimes so relative and easy to achieve- it can mean running a small bike program or reading at an event or being the contact person for childcare or any number of things. And for those of us who, because of multiple marginalizations and oppressions, find ourselves feeling the brunt of being undesirable within both mainstream and oppressed or oppositional communities, shit can feel like, well, we're already not beloved, so who will give a fuck if we're not here? (For more info and an amazing analysis about the politics of desirability, and especially how it intersects with transmisogyny, look at this blog post: http://gudbuytjane.wordpress.com/2011/10/13/dating-from-the-margins-1/) In my experience, sometimes, but not always, we can move from leader to semi-visible to undesired in quick succession in our communities, and back again. Thank you for the feedback that pushed me to be clearer about what I was talking about.)
We have complicated feelings about leaders. We need role models We want to celebrate folks who are talented organizers and artists. And we also dont know how to practice horizontal leadership. We lift people up and pedestalize them- expect them to be perfect and with all the answers. we tear them down, expect them to be perfect. We murder folks who look like and unlike us when we fuck up, make mistakes, aren't able to be always on call, or just politically disagree. And that murder, that cut-eye, that exclusion from chosen family or community- it's some of the hardest and most dangerous things we do to each other. Believe me, I understand that people need to end relationships, set boundaries and not see each other for many good reasons. But when we are each others' safety net, some of the casually cruel exclusion we do is life-threatening.
We don't know how to let people be gifted and imperfect. And when we are those people, going from being a nobody to being a movement star, well, it doesn't leave a lot of room for complexity. Or to feel comfortable being honest about wanting to die when so many people are looking to you for a reason to live.
And our communities are still struggling to know how to care for each other well. For real. For the longterm. Without shame when it doesn't get fixed permanently and forever. When the need for care may be lifelong.
When I've wanted to kill myself- when it's hit strong and knocked me to my knees, familliar- there's also this thing. It's felt like, in that moment, I can feel all the ways I really have been without agency in my life. And in that moment of feeling the deep grief and sadness over the impact of oppression, killing myself has felt like one clear way I can have agency. I can have total control. I can't control the WSCCAP. But I can go to the stars.
And it hits fast. With Wendy, with Kyle and with other folks who've killed themselves in my communities, it's not uncommon for folks to say, I just saw them the other day. They were happy. They were fine. And, they might've been. They might've been also holding a lot of hard shit they didn't know how to talk about. And they might've gone from wonderful to deeply despairing fast- and not had room or words to talk about what it felt like for that transition to happen so quickly. Or felt deeply ashamed of freaking out, yet again.
What does it mean for those of us who made things better, who are shaped in the shape of I will come through for you, who have organized and created curriculum and built programs and won awards and fought and mentored and let folks crash on our couches- what happens when we are, again, the crazy hurting deeply sad inside places? That are so different from the ones maybe so many outsiders know? (And what happens for those of us who are not 'gaymous', and who are also struggling with depression and suicidality?)
When sometimes we ask for help on Facebook and miracles come through, and sometimes we do and our ChipIn falls flat? When we are afraid that we were hurting 6 months ago, and we're hurting now, and what is the tipping point when people start thinking, there they go again, they're always freaking out.
I think about the deep stigma of crazy. The reality that even in radical communities where sometimes we are better about loving people who are "too much" we also know the fear of crazy. the reality of community that is love but also just likes to kick it and be casual. Of the post in the house I looked at that said, we're cool with you having mental or physical health concerns as long as you take care of them on your own and don't bring that shit into the house. I think about how the crazy take care of the crazy and when we're not in crisis ourselves we want a break.
We don't want plattitudes or uplift or people telling us we're loved. I mean tell me. But I know I'm loved. Sometimes hearing that helps. Sometimes I am still deeply, deeply sad.
I don't have the answers, but I am intersted in collectively creating them. I am interested in all of us who dance with dying talking about all the different and real things that suicide can mean to us. All the things that allow us to stay here. And more than that, I am interested in creating models of happy-mostly queer and trans adulthood where we can be leaders and still be vulnerable, where we can be open that it's not happily ever after. Life models that encompass falling apart and reforming not as a failure, but as a life pathway. Ones punctuated with whirlwinds and whirlpools, that Coatlicue/Kali/Oya energy that dismembers. And gifts.
daily practices
stuff i do every day to feel good:
1. I compliment other femmes, especially femmes who live with systemic oppression, on their presentation. I tell them they look good and I love their eyebrows/hair/dress/whatever. I ask permission first.
2. I try to slow down and be really present
3. Sometimes I just have to get through it, but I try and have a sense of how long it takes to actually do things, and to leave myself wiggle room to be late, have shit not go according to plan, and to breathe.
4. I drink agua de chia, nettle/redraspberry/red clover tea, and cedar tea
5. I cook good food for myself, at home.
6. I stretch
7. I have a really intense gratitude practice that helps me take care of and hold my anxiety.

13. I don't work with folks I don't work well with.
14. I don't hang out with folks whose ableism, classism, racism or femmephobia make me feel shitty. And I don't feel guilty about this.
15. I tell myself, "Ok, you're not alowed to be on Facebook."
16. I have faith
17. I practice forgiving myself when shit doesn't work out according to plan or perfect.
18. I listen to good music.
19. I go outside and get on the land.
20. I am reprogramming my crisis/ must respond immediately to every email/phone message call like it's an emergency.

Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority Embraces Citrix Cloud To Mobilize Employees and Transform Services
Move to Cloud-Managed App and Desktop Delivery Provides Ability to Reduce Costs, Improve Operations, and Increase Service to the Community
For the past 25 years, federal funding cuts have meant declining budgets for the public housing industry, forcing agencies like the Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority (LMHA) in Toledo, Ohio, to find creative ways to serve their clients, including mobility options to enable staff to work more effectively out in the community. Mobilizing employees in the face of budget cuts requires embracing the cloud, while ensuring all IT operations are secure, and comply with mandated federal regulations. In fact, according to a 2015 Forrester Global Business Technographics survey, 62 percent of U.S. infrastructure decision-makers say that developing a comprehensive cloud strategy for IT infrastructure is a critical/high priority initiative in their firm's/organization's IT infrastructure agenda over the next year.
For Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority, moving IT operations out of their on-premise datacenter and into the cloud was a primary objective. Their hardware infrastructure was aging, and they knew a move promised the ability to reduce costs, simplify operations, and improve service to the community. They wanted to empower staff to achieve their mission of reaching out to benefit the community in a way that had been previously impossible.
LMHA trusted the Citrix Cloud solution and the strength of the relationship with Microsoft Azure Government to enable employees to reach the community with mobile devices and also with mobile office offerings. The Citrix Cloud enables partners and customers to manage and securely deliver services from the cloud that unite the Citrix product portfolio. Mobility technologies are offered as a service and continuously updated with the latest features. The Citrix Cloud capabilities also enable customers to deploy virtual apps and desktops on any cloud or infrastructure of their choice, giving businesses the flexibility to secure and manage their data and infrastructure to best meet the needs of their organization and regulatory environment. In LMHA's case, Microsoft Azure Government was the deployment cloud of choice.
As a result, LMHA staff are leveraging the cloud environment from Citrix in several ways using mobile devices that can work anywhere, are secure, and are device agnostic to benefit both employees and clients. For example, employees can bring their own device, and use a complete Windows desktop on any mobile device, including Apple products running iOS. That means staff can take their office to the field since they no longer need to complete physical paperwork, which has a tangible impact for employees who can work more efficiently, and on the community who now receive services easier, faster and more simply.
And it also means that clients now access apps and data from a device they are familiar with, 24x7 without having to come into an office location, which had often posed a hardship to some such as the elderly and disabled. LMHA knows from the latest analytics that mobility is essential for these clients and tenants who can now log in remotely to make secure online payments and schedule inspections online.

The Amazing Race Australia Romance
After news of Chelsea and Alex hitting it off on the set of Masterchef, Sydney Confidential are now reporting Tyler Atkins (part of the male model's team) has hooked up with one of the females from the model team Sam Schoer from Western Australia.
The article states they may have hooked on the race a couple of times. I wonder where they got the energy from as the race is pretty intense.

Well those boys are so cute and they seem like good guys, and those girls are amazing strong, nice girls. So good luck to them. I also liked the reunited sisters and the lovely Big W ladies. You have to have the baddies but I didn't like the "yellow shirts" and the chauvanist, but I know we're not supposed to like them. Well done Amazing Race Aussies because the show is even better than the US versions. It still works even though they don't have all the people you love to hate but lots of people that you like.

Pricing FAQ
- How does server app pricing work?
Server products and apps are hosted on your servers. Licenses are perpetual and the purchase price include 12 months of maintenance (support and version updates).
You can renew maintenance after 12 months at 50% of the current purchase price. You can upgrade the tier of your host product and app licenses at any time. Upgrade prices are calculated based on Atlassian's formula (view example).
If app pricing changes after your initial purchase, there's a 60-day grandfathering period during which you can renew based on the old pricing.
- How do I determine my server pricing?
Apps are billed based on the number of users in your host product. For Jira Server 7.0 or later, the app tier should match the maximum tier of the licensed Jira products on your instance. For example, if you're running Jira Software (50 users) and Jira Service Desk (10 agents) on the same instance, you should purchase the 50-user tier for apps. For versions of Jira Server prior to 7.0, the app tier should match the licensed user tier for Jira. Even if fewer users want to use the app than your Jira license, the two licenses should match exactly.
- Do you offer academic, community, or open-source licenses?
For server apps, purchase and renewal is half-price if you have an academic license for your Atlassian host product. Server apps are always free for community and open-source licenses.
For more details about qualifying for special licenses, see here.
- Can I extend my free trial?
For server apps, you can extend your app trial up to 5 times - in other words, for up to six months. Extend your trial by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace. Click Try it free and you'll be directed to generate a new license. Paste this license key into the app listing in UPM from your Atlassian host product, and you're all set.
- How can I buy apps for my legacy Jira Server or Confluence Server license?
If you own a legacy Jira Server Unlimited (100+ users) or Confluence Server Unlimited (2000+ users) license purchased in 2012 or earlier, legacy app pricing is no longer available. You have two options for app purchasing:
- Purchase the app at the non-legacy Unlimited (10000+ users) tier.
- Renew your Jira or Confluence license at a non-legacy tier, then purchase the app at the same tier.

Halloween Safety Tips
Date: October 30, 2015
It's Halloween tomorrow and you've prepared costumes, decorations and special treats. But have you considered the accidents that can occur on Halloween? Here's a list of safety measures you can take to make sure your Halloween celebration stays fun and memorable:
- Don't place decorations near open flames or other heat sources, such as electric heaters or light bulbs.
- Consider using battery-operated lights instead of candles in jack-o-lanterns. If you use candles, keep the pumpkins away from materials that can easily catch fire or near places where people walk, such as driveways, doorsteps and walkways.
- Kids under the age of 12 should be accompanied by a trusted adult when going out at night. Teens can be allowed to go in groups and trick-or-treat in well-lit areas.
- Be familiar with the route your kids will be taking and make sure they carry a mobile phone. Tell them to check in with you every hour and to come back home at a designated time.
- Any props that a child might carry, such as a pitchfork, knife or scythe, should be flexible and safe enough so as to not to cause an injury.
- If you have a pet and choose to dress him up, make sure that the costume does not constrict the animal's movement or annoy him in any other way.
- Keep candles, props, wires and cords out of reach of your pets. Make sure jack-o-lanterns with candles can't be knocked down by dogs or cats.
- Tips to protect your children from vehicles while trick-or-treating:
- Choose a light colored costume and attach reflective tape or stickers to make them more visible.
- Masks can obstruct a child's vision, so consider replacing them with face paint or makeup.
- Children should carry flashlights or glow sticks to see and be seen during night time.
- Tell them to walk and not run. Before crossing a street, they must use crosswalks whenever possible and look both ways.
- Adults should pay close attention when driving, and anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic, especially between 5:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.; remind other drivers to watch out for trick-or-treaters, too.

Career flexibility can come in many forms and be long-term or temporary. It is really whatever works best for your unique circumstances, but we describe some of the most common flex arrangements here:
Part Time = less than a 40 hour workweek
Flex Time = the option to work some hours which fall outside of the typical 9am-5pm workday
Telecommute/ Work From Home = the ability to work from home or another location of your choosing for all or a portion of your workweek.
Job Share = A job share is when two individuals split the responsibilities for one job.
Internship = a fixed project or role that allows a professional to gain on the job experience and training in exchange for the work he/she provides. They may or may not be paid. Goldman Sachs coined the term "returnship" to refer to the roles they offer senior level professionals who are returning to the workforce after time off (typically women who took breaks to start families).

Hello all,
Acid columning compared to spreading it evenly: which is for lowering PH and which is for lowering TA?
I've been told that acid columning will not lower your PH and it WILL lower your TA...is this correct?

I'm not the real expert here but it sounds like you are speaking of the "slug" method as I've heard it referred to.
Generally discredited, I believe you'll find most of the chem experts think it does no good and can do some harm.
Generally speaking, most of the folks on this forum will add acid in front of a return (pump running) to simply lower pH.
The only way to permanently lower T/A is thru aeration as described in the stickies.
There is an old pool care myth, still discussed in some places, that pouring acid quickly in one spot will lower TA, while spreading it slowly around the edge of the pool will lower PH. This is not true. Acid will lower both PH and TA regardless of how it is poured. Normally TA is only lowered by a little, for small PH changes you probably won't notice a difference. When making large PH changes at high starting TA levels the change will be more noticeable.
How you pour the acid does affect how much damage the acid can do to the pool. Acid is denser than water and without good circulation it will tend to puddle at the bottom of the pool and that can cause damage to plaster and vinyl. By pouring it slowly in front of a return while the pump is running you get it to mix quickly and throughly, thus avoiding any problems.
To lower TA you need to add acid to bring both the PH and TA down. Then you aerate the pool to cause CO2 outgassing, which will raise the PH back up without raising the TA. Adding borax will raise both PH and TA in the same proportions that acid lowers PH and TA. Adding soda ash/PH Up raises both PH and TA, but TA is raised by more than it would be if you used borax.
There is a wonderful research paper where this was explored. It includes a very detailed discussion of the chemistry involved as well as some great photographs of colored acid pooling at the bottom.

(I wrote this at the same time as Jason. We both refer to the same paper discrediting this method.)
The "slug" or "acid column" method was fully discredited here. You lower pH by adding acid slowly over a return flow with the pump running. The TA is somewhat lowered at the same time as pH and TA move together.
To lower the TA by itself, one must use a combination of acid addition with aeration and the procedure is outlined as follows (I don't think we have a sticky for this yet).
PROCEDURE .......... pH .. TA
Acid ....................... - ..... - ... Lower pH to 7.0 ( or next to lowest measurement on pH test kit, but not below 6.8 )
Aeration ................ + ..... 0 ... Waterfalls, fountains, showers, point returns up, splash, run SWG
Acid ....................... - ..... - ... When pH from aeration rises to 7.2, add acid to lower to 7.0
Aeration + Acid ...... 0 ..... - ... Repeat the above until the TA gets to your target ( e.g. 80 ppm )
Aeration ................ + ..... 0 ... Aerate (and no longer add acid) until pH rises to target pH ( e.g. 7.7 )
Net Result .............. 0 ..... - ... Net result is lowering TA with no change in pH ( unless final pH target is different than starting pH )
In the procedure above, I describe adding acid when the pH hits 7.2 but you can do it whenever you want such as waiting for the pH to go higher. It's just faster to keep the pH lower during aeration as this outgasses carbon dioxide more quickly.

The announcement comes within weeks of the launch of the $800 million Harvest Seven Stars Media Private Equity Ltd, which is looking to invest in mergers and acquisitions and content. The fund will also develop a marketing and distribution platform, which will handle the release of Perfect Storm films.
"Perfect Storm Entertainment is an exciting new project for me and we are excited to seize upon creative opportunities to collaborate and produce films for audiences across all markets," said Lin. "The partnership with Seven Stars Film Studios and the Harvest Seven Stars Media distribution platform provides us with an amazing opportunity to consistently develop and create dynamic content."
Perfect Storm will focus on developing, producing and financing an annual slate of 2-3 films, with special attention given to projects that lend themselves to Chinese co-productions. (Lin's production company Barnstorm has a first-look deal at Universal.)

The Institute for Defense & Business Honored with ESGR's 'Above & Beyond' Award
Mar 25, 2011, 08:00 ET
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., March 25, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Institute for Defense and Business (IDB) was presented the "Above & Beyond Award" by the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) at a recent annual employer recognition banquet in Greensboro, NC. The award recognizes employers at the state and local level who have gone above and beyond the legal requirements for granting leave and providing support for military duty by their employee's service in the National Guard. IDB employee and North Carolina National Guard (NCNG) member, Staff Sergeant Jason M. Barber nominated IDB for this award.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090316/DC84323LOGO )
At the awards banquet, President and CEO of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, LtGen G.R. (Ron) Christmas, USMC (Ret.) noted: "The support given by employers is very important to the national security of America. Each of you is faithful to the wonderful men and women who serve our nation." This is the second award given by ESGR to IDB for their support for the National Guard and Reserve. On hand to accept the award for the Institute for Defense and Business was Mark C. Cramer, IDB President, Ambassador David C. Litt (Ret.), Executive Director, Center for Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction (CSER) and CSER Program Associate & NCNG member, Staff Sergeant Jason M. Barber.
In Barber's nomination of IDB, the Sergeant wrote: "Right from my initial employment IDB was aware of my status as a Guardsman in the North Carolina Army National Guard (NCNG) and our impending second deployment to Iraq. The IDB team not only made allowances for me as our training commitments increased, they made sure that I was never uncomfortable with taking a little extra time to attend additional training."
In addition to providing personal support, SSgt Barber also noted the IDB provided direct support for his unit, the NCNG's 30th Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) on a pro bono basis. IDB developed and delivered a day of predeployment economics and governance briefings at Ft. Bragg for brigade leadership just days before the 30th's April 2009 deployment to Baghdad, Iraq. This effort was spearheaded by the IDB's Center for Stabilization and Economic Reconstruction (CSER).
About the IDB

MILWAUKEE, WI – The "Brunch" is on the road this weekend, as I visit my native state of Wisconsin. It is one of the 33 states where a U.S. Senator is up for reelection in 2018. As my faithful readers may recall, I was once a Legislative Aide for former U.S. Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI). Control of the U.S. Senate is in play in 2018, and the dynamics favor Republicans right now. Let's "brunch" on that this week:
"By the Numbers" – As mentioned, 33 Senate seats are in play in 2018. Democrats are defending 23 of them; Republicans, just 10. That gives the GOP an immediate advantage. Making matters worse for the Democrats is that President Trump carried ten of the states where Democrats have Senate seats up for grabs. Right now, four Democratic Senate seats are listed as vulnerable, those being in West Virginia, Missouri, Indiana, and North Dakota. All four states went for Trump in 2016.
"Almost Heaven, West Virginia" – Right now this is shaping up as the marquee national Senate race in 2018. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) has been in the Senate since 2010, having succeeded the nation's longest-serving Senator, Robert C. Byrd (D-WV). Manchin – who was also Governor of West Virginia for six years - comes from a well-known political family. He may get lucky because of a hotly contested and potentially nasty Republican primary with Representative Evan Jenkins (R-WV, District 3) locked in a competitive primary with state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R-WV), who has been elected twice statewide.
"The Heidi Chronicles" – North Dakota had the closest race in the U.S. Senate in 2012. Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) beat Representative Rick Berg (R-ND) by fewer than three-thousand votes. They are likely poised for a rematch in 2018. Both are longtime state office holders in North Dakota, so this could be another bruising battle. Like Senator Manchin, Senator Heitkamp aligns with conservatives on fossil fuel issues such as oil and coal, which could help them both.
"Indiana Wants Me" – Vice President Mike Pence's home state looks to be very competitive. Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN) is finishing his freshman term in the Senate and, prior to that, spent six years in the U.S. House. Like Senator Heitkamp (D-ND), Donnelly won his Indiana Senate seat with barely 50 percent of the vote. Historically, the Hoosier State is "red," but Barack Obama did carry it in 2008 (although he did not in 2012). The bottom line: Indiana is up for grabs next year.
"The Cheesehead State" – It's good to be on my native soil. Wisconsin has one of the richest political histories in the nation, with such luminaries as Senator Joe McCarthy (R-WI) and the man who eventually succeeded him, my old friend Senator William Proxmire (D-WI), whom I consider the greatest retail politician in U.S. history. Someday, I'll share that whole story. But first, Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) - who succeeded my former boss Herb Kohl – is up this year, too. She served 14 years in the U.S. House before being promoted to the U.S. Senate. Despite Trump's huge upset win in Wisconsin in 2016, Senator Baldwin may be hard to unseat.
"The Show Me State" – Of the four most vulnerable Senators, Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) is the only one not in her freshman term. She is completing her second full six-year term. Yet, she is vulnerable, Why? Well, Missouri is a key swing state, and the "Show Me" state has not been won by a Democratic Presidential candidate since President Bill Clinton in 1996. If the Russian controversy is trouble for President Trump, then it could prove toxic for Senator McCaskill, who earlier this year tweeted she never met with the Russian Ambassador, despite two tweets from 2013 and 2015 when she, in fact, confirmed meeting with him. No, it's not a smoking gun, but ouch!
"Why All of This Matters" – Unlike all the contentious special elections to fill vacant House seats in 2017, the 2018 midterms will be a referendum on the Trump Presidency. Historically, the party-in-power in the White House usually loses seats in the midterm elections. Oddly, the GOP may lose House seats in 2018, but may gain four to eight seats in the U.S. Senate. If they gained eight, the Republicans would have the filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the upper chamber. That's huge. I don't think they'll get there, but a 57-43 Republican majority in the Senate is very possible.
