With Ruby Ridge to the north of Sandpoint and the previous Aryan Nations to the south, readers frequently quiz locals about the perception of racism and extremism in North Idaho. Panhandle citizens are at occasions astonished by the issues. To quite a few that stay in inventive, eclectic North Idaho, the inquiries seem to be out of position with the area they have appear to know as tolerant and neighborly. Most intolerant regions travel people and new inhabitants absent Sandpoint and North Idaho draws in with a booming tourist sector and quick-paced development, and its standing for accepting one particular and all.
North Idaho has long been a magnet for spirited people today with vastly different existence and views. Very long in advance of the recent inflow of people and vacationers came the hippies. Artist Ed Keinholz made Hope, Idaho his residence in 1978, and soon afterward North Idaho grew to become regarded as an artist colony. While the point out has continually voted Republican in nationwide presidential elections, North Idaho has more blended political leanings. The Morsay indicators are everywhere. Maybe only Moscow, with its collegiate influences, has the identical political outlooks.
The concerns persist in spite of regional sights. Countrywide coverage is beginning to demonstrate North Idaho in a distinctive gentle, but Ruby Ridge is revisited in documentaries and news coverage year following 12 months. Controversy proceeds in excess of the handling by the ATF with the arrest of Randy Weaver in 1992. Randy Weaver moved from Iowa with his family to northern Idaho during the 1980s in order to "dwelling-university his small children and escape what he and his wife Vicki observed as a corrupted entire world." This is a popular theme for many going to the location. Like lots of who go right here, they were on the lookout for an location far-eradicated from their neighbors to educate their youngsters the lessons they felt important. This is normally a purpose for many instructing racist beliefs.
Idaho can be remote. Some estimates position up to 75 p.c of the land in North Idaho in federal or point out fingers. The U.S. Census published only 15.six individuals inhabit every sq. mile in Idaho, compared to the nationwide normal of seventy nine.six. Bonner County has a little bit much more with 21 men and women for each sq. mile, but Boundary County with only eight has one of the least expensive figures in the point out. Extremists look for these kinds of counts when picking out an place to relocate to.
Incorporate to that demographic the homogenous make-up of North Idaho. With a population above 95 % white, racists have identified the area alluring in the past. Many inhabitants say that prejudice does not even occur into their minds. Jed Sigman, operator of Advance Childcare, a single of Bonner County's greatest daycares, states, "We are not like the south where prejudice is a section of day-to-day lifestyle. We didn't develop up even observing blacks or Hispanics. The believed of hating a individual for their pores and skin coloration just didn't even happen to us."
When requested about the Aryan Nations in the Coeur d'Alene region, Sandpoint resident Jaime Grainger mentioned bluntly, "We kicked individuals bums out decades back." The Aryan Nations compound was efficiently put out of enterprise in Hayden, Idaho in 2000 when the Southern Poverty Law Center received a $6.3 million judgment towards the team. They even now operate, but not as overtly as a ten years back. The founder of the Aryan Nations, Richard Butler, moved to Idaho from California, but it has been described that his followers have relocated to Pennsylvania?
Lots of do move listed here, sans prejudice, to are living a additional purely natural lifestyle with higher privateness. Idahoans pleasure on their own on the values of privateness and own freedom. In an unconventional coalition, condition GOP customers and the ACLU joined forces to modify or defeat the Patriot Act, which quite a few below sense intrude on their ideals of private privacy. In Congress, Republican Governor Butch Otter was mostly conservative, but showed slight libertarian leanings, as reflected in his opposition to the Patriot Act. Other condition Republicans shared this watch. The Idaho GOP system plank in 2004 manufactured the issue very clear: "The Patriot Act is essential to aid the cooperation amongst legislation enforcement organizations. We assist acceptable amendments to restrict the incursion on private freedoms, legal rights, and liberties of American citizens."Other Idaho Republicans have also been vocal in their opposition to the Patriot Act.
The factors are diverse, but between other arguments, Idaho enjoys gun guidelines that permit have permits, and hunting is just one of the big draws to the point out. The dread between a lot of gun entrepreneurs in Idaho is that the Patriot Act will direct to a lessening of gun ownership legal rights.
Guns are vital here. Guns are the rationale Randy Weaver was targeted by the ATF. Soon after advertising two sawed-off shotguns to a governing administration informant, the ATF attempted to arrest Weaver. Weaver maintained the shotguns ended up not unlawful, and in the ensuing standoff, both Weaver's son and wife ended up killed. With potent views of private liberties and privacy commonplace in the place, quite a few community people come to feel the govt was the authentic villain at Ruby Ridge, and local views have been broadcast in excess of the countrywide airwaves for yrs. With these views part of the fantasy presented to the rest of The us, the country gets a photograph that North Idaho is not a tolerant location. Having said that, the subsequent investigation showed the ATF in a lousy light-weight. This, blended with other nationwide fiascos in Waco and other areas, has ameliorated opinions.
Randy Weaver was not a native Idahoan. As the population grows, natives are turning out to be a smaller bulk. When most of North Idaho welcomes visitors and newcomers, quite a few come across the alterations distasteful. Some of the loudest against improve are not initially from Idaho. There are many groups towards numerous factors of advancement in North Idaho. NICAN, a team that opposes the proposed Sand Creek Byway, has more than 250 associates, a lot of who arrived to North Idaho from other states. This is patently distasteful to some that grew up regionally. One residence-grown inhabitant of Sagle, Idaho complained, "It's not that I do not want them to be politically lively, I just would like to see men and women from here be the ones that make the decisions. I don't like it that they bring their attitudes from California or Oregon and check out to make us just like the position they preferred to get away from."
Other extensive-time inhabitants try to remember wistfully how idyllic the area was just ten or fifteen decades in the past. Jeane Fontaine, operator of Deals Furthermore in Sandpoint remembers wistfully, "It certain was terrific right here ten or fifteen decades ago. I suggest, growth is good, but Sandpoint was these types of a wonderful small city. It is really still very nice, but it was paradise then."
The inflow of previous policemen like Mark Furman retiring to the location is also pointed out as a sign that the area is racist. "Absurd!" reported 1 former LA County Sheriff who will support morsay 2017. "We arrived below to get absent from racism and criminal offense. Just after twenty several years doing work in Los Angeles, wherever you see racism every working day, we desired to come across a haven where we would never ever see it all over again."
How is racism taken care of in our educational institutions?
1 college in Twin Falls makes use of this lesson for elementary age youngsters. To educate how racism feels to those that suffer from prejudice and segregation, approximately two hundred fifth graders at Summit Elementary Faculty in Twin Falls, Idaho are randomly assigned the coloration eco-friendly or yellow. Not permitted to talk to classmates of an additional shade, the point is further more strengthened by segregating bathrooms. For the initial time in sixteen many years, in February 2008, a mother or father complained.
How does the clergy take care of racism in North Idaho?
Basically dozens of posts on the net have lately accused Prepared Parenthood of Idaho of blatant racism, even though to consider all the things posted on Google will take a leap of faith racisme france. Earlier this year, when a southern Idaho radio converse display broadcast inflammatory racist remarks, dozens of blogs sprang up to denounce the demonstrate and speaker. Normal of one this sort of web site, the blogger wrote, "racist reviews have no position on general public airwaves and no location in our communities."
Modern decades suggests a drop in detest crimes in Idaho. The Idaho State Law enforcement posted in 2003 that there have been twenty these types of incidents, down 54 p.c from the preceding 12 months, and in 2005 loathe crimes totaled 27 incidents, twenty in 2006, and 38 in 2007. These loathe crimes do not limit on their own to acts against blacks or Hispanics. In 2007, an American Indian woman was beaten by an grownup girl who shouted "white electric power," then the lady was subsequently harassed for the next numerous days by the woman's sons. In accordance to stats, dislike crimes directed at Indigenous Us citizens are as widespread as versus any other team in Idaho.
Skin shade does frequently prompt attacks, on the other hand, with comparatively small numbers described, many again up the premise that prejudice in North Idaho is not readily obvious. A person blogger writes, "I'm olive-skinned relatively than brown-skinned. I've lived in North Idaho (if you toss Lewiston into that blend) for twenty five decades. I've seasoned only one contact of prejudice in all that time — from a clueless dentist in Lewiston (1983) who saved making reference to my 'Italian' heritage."
Other states with identical populations have comparable figures, and some states with lesser populations, these types of as Vermont with a reputation for liberalism and tolerance, have greater incidences of loathe crimes. North Idaho has comparatively number of hate crimes. In 2006, one incident was described in Boundary County, two in Kootenai, and none in Bonner County. Most were being noted in southern Idaho.
In 2006, right after 29 many years of discussion, neighboring Washington adopted a regulation barring discrimination in the place of work and in general public lodging based mostly on sexual orientation. Idaho has even now not adopted these a law.
As just lately as February 2007, visitor columnist Ryan West penned an posting in the College of Idaho newspaper, The Argonaut, titled: Racism a truth in most of North Idaho. Even though still in substantial school in North Idaho, Ryan remembers "hearing the text "n–r" and "f–t" utilised in every other sentence by male and woman pupils." He also writes, "I know that some people today will read this and assume 'Well I grew up all over there, and I never ever seasoned that type of behavior.' That's fine. They're both fortunate or oblivious."
White supremacists literature is nevertheless mailed out to North Idaho people from time to time, though a lot less commonly than in several years past. The past mass mailing in Bonner went out to 6,000 residents in 1999. Although the mailings now are significantly less in quantity and not as typically, locals continue to acquire them.
As the much more tolerant attitudes turn out to be portion and parcel of area residing, those with extremist views have become much less vocal espousing their views. There is no way to know how quite a few men and women are truly racist in North Idaho. However, controversies such as local growth and the Sand Creek Byway have introduced incredibly derogatory assaults and even lawsuits. If absence of tolerance for other's sights is the indicator, then probably irrational suspicions are section of North Idaho lore. On the other hand, one reason racism and extremism results in being element of any group is that men and women are silent towards intolerance. North Idaho has wholesome discussion above many topics. Training is ongoing, and folks do speak out against injustice.
Racism appears to be to be slowly and gradually dying in the rest of the country, and North Idaho is no unique. While it may well exist here, just one almost never hears the 'n' phrase spoken in public. Most people I know would stand up versus any individual brave plenty of to rant racist views in open up discussion board. Probably my circle just does not occur into call with that circle frequently ample to know if racism is actually a challenge in North Idaho.
Is racism alive in North Idaho? Perhaps, but, as readers usually remind us, it is not recognized by the rest of the country, and should really not be tolerated by we who stay in North Idaho, even if we are believers in personalized privacy and liberties. With the presidential election possessing the very first feasible feminine and black presidential candidates, certainly few would say that times have not adjusted enormously. Racism is alive in The us, and definitely has reared its unpleasant head in North Idaho, but it has been fought the two via governmental procedures and in the court of general public impression.
North Idaho is a paradise as a lot for its individuals as for its pure elegance. Prejudice and racism detract from the soul of the individuals who dwell in North Idaho. Most likely these attitudes are on the wane, but with out continual vigilance against those people that advocate dislike, it will go on to be section of the myth of North Idaho.

Transparency Market Research Report Added "Blood Testing Market" to its database.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/05/2016 -- A new report by Transparency Market Research, titled "Blood Testing Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2014 – 2020," is a thorough evaluation on the major trends and the key technological advancements taking place within the market. The report also encapsulates the micro and macro factors impacting the established players and the upcoming players in the market for blood testing.
A forward-moving perspective of the various factors stimulating and restraining the development of the market has been collated under this study. The report also comprises a six-year forecast and assessment of the market on the basis of its growth prospects. The competitive landscape section of this study comprises the major players dominant in the market and their key product introductions in the global blood testing market.
In the first section of the report, the definition of blood testing has been presented. Blood testing usually takes place by collecting a small sample of blood by using finger prick or needle from the human body. It is a type of laboratory-based evaluation performed for determining the general state of human health. Factors such as the presence of viruses or bacteria and any disease progression taking place in the human body are evaluated by carrying out this test. Blood testing is also performed for the assessment of the functioning of vital organs in the human body such as the kidneys, liver, and thyroid gland.
As per the report, the blood testing market is flourishing owing to the increasing occurrence of a number of diseases such as cancer, thyroids, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and viral allergic and genetic disorders. The increasing utilization of blood testing within other diagnostic areas is also fuelling the demand for blood testing. In addition, the increasing demand for point of care testing (POCT) is also propelling the growth of the blood testing market.
The growing count of technical advancements have resulted in cutting-edge testing equipment and tools such as automated blood collection equipment, further augmenting the development of the market for blood testing. On the other hand, the limited knowledge and absence of awareness about the advanced technologies in blood testing and the increasing ignorance in the adoption of new technologies may inhibit the growth of the market in the coming years.
Request for Sample: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=B&rep_id=2517
By geography, the report segments the market into Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Rest of the World (RoW). Of these, North America led the market in 2012 and was trailed by Europe. These two regions are poised to maintain their positions all through the forecast horizon. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is the most swiftly developing region in the market with Australia, China, India, and Japan as the prime markets.
Abbott Laboratories, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Gen-Probe, Inc., Roche Diagnostics, Biomerica, Inc., bioMerieux, Inc., and Meridian Bioscience, Inc., among others are the prime players dominant in the market for blood testing.

Hey everybody! How's it going? This week has been good. It has really flown by. It's crazy that it has already been another week! During the week, I usually carry around a little notebook, and write down things every once in awhile that I want to include in my email home. Because usually I forget what happens. But today I forgot to bring the notebook that I wrote things down in, so I'll just do my best to remember what happened this week.
Sorry if I gave you a little scare with that last email. It wasn't really a big deal, what happened with the drunk guys. They were so drunk, that me and Elder Christensen could have easily beat them up if we needed to. It makes a pretty good story though. ;)
You asked about David. Yeah we met with him again. We walked all the way across the street to his apartment. ;) It went really well, and the miracle story got even better! We went over there, and first of all, he has a way cool apartment. He is an artist, and he has paintings all over the place, and he also really likes music! He plays guitar and stuff, so me and him can really relate. Anyway, we went there and taught him about the plan of salvation and some more about the restoration. He had already read the introduction to the Book of Mormon and he asked us a lot of questions about it. At one point he told us more about when he ran into us and how he doesn't think it was just by chance. A few months ago, David started wondering if there more to life, and started looking for something more. His friend gave him a book about our spiritual existence, and he had just read a chapter about how everything has a purpose, when he ran into us on the street. So a couple days later, his friend that gave him the book called him up randomly. He told her about these two missionaries that he met, and she told him that he should keep talking to us and see what we are about. Well, after he hung up, who are the next two people that he runs into? The missionaries! Crazy! Anyway near the end of our lesson with him, we asked what he thought about the plan of salvation. He said he thought it was cool but he didn't believe it. We told him that we aren't here to convince people that it is true, we are just here to invite people to pray about it. We talked to him about the holy ghost, and he asked us, what does the Holy Ghost feel like? Is it like love, and warmth. Yup exactly! Anyway, he asked us what chapters in the Book of Mormon have helped us to get that answer. So we wrote down 4 or 5 of our favorite chapters for him to read. Anyway, we've got high hopes for David in this Month of Miracles. Well, I wrote a bit more than I thought I would about him, but I think it is a good story. I'll get back to the rest of my email now.
Oh I also want to mention Celina too. Yesterday when we met with her, she told us that she always hated Denmark. She has lived her for several years. She said she was never happy here, until she met us missionaries! Now she says she really likes Denmark. Oh, and also, she is going to be in the ward talent show on Friday! I don't know if I told you about the talent show or not. We are having a talent show Friday, and I'm gonna show off some of my air tap skills. Also, my companion dragged into another performance. We are gonna do the My Little Buttercup dance from the 3 Amigos. :/
Well, it was fun to hear all the news from back home. That is crazy that Jansen is getting his drivers license! I'm glad that I'm thousands of miles away from his driving. That is also great to hear about Shane. Hopefully I'll be able to see him at my homecoming.
The morning running is going well. I haven't quit yet. It's definitely better running around outside, than just running around in circles in the gym. I still don't enjoy running at all, and I don't understand how you people enjoy it. I just do it for exercise purposes.
That's fine that you don't send much snail mail. It's just so convenient being able to email instantly. I don't get a ton of mail, but I have a few good friends that have been writing pretty frequently. It's always fun getting a letter from back home.
Oh yeah I wanted to tell you, during the past 2 weeks, I've bought 7 ties! I'm planning on beating Camron's record of all the ties that he brought back.
Anyway, that's all I've got for you this time. I miss you all! Have a great week!
Love Elder Tyler Lee
ps. 5 months on Sunday!
Wednesday, April 14, 2010
Month of Miracles, going strong!

Traditional Chinese medicine can treat many conditions that involve numbness, pain and weakness in the legs. TCM looks at them as being caused by some type of imbalance, or by a blockage of qi or chi enegy. For many years, TCM was considered to be out on the fringe and not to be taken seriously. But things have been changing.
Well-known and well-established health institutions like Harvard at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and McMaster University in Canada are now using traditional Chinese medicine for some conditions involving numbness, pain and weakness in the legs.
"Treatment always depends first on treatment of the underlying cause such as the disk problem, thyroid replacement , controlling blood sugar, controlling cholesterol, and eliminating any chemicals, foods or drugs that may be causing the irritation or damage."
After this initial treatment, it's important to be able to control the symptoms of numbness, pain and weakness. Treatment without drugs, like those of traditional Chinese medicine, can help correct any imbalance, lessen the pain experienced, and help regain strength in the legs.

Before I launch a well-deserved rant against Redbook magazine and the media in general, allow me to issue a disclaimer:
I am a female living in the real world, and thus well-aware that the media objectifies women to the point where we must either laugh or cry, and that so-called �women�s� magazines have long ago decided that normal-looking females must never, ever, pollute their covers, and that even photos of gorgeous celebrities must be airbrushed and retouched, lest our poor sensitive eyes catch a glimpse of a wrinkle or � perish the thought � frown line on a female.
Even so, I�m appalled at what Redbook has done to Faith Hill, and everyone else should be, too, and this includes men, because most of you have wives or moms or girlfriends or sisters, or especially young daughters, the latter of whom are increasingly doomed to be swept away by our culture�s perfection-obsessed tsunami.
An interesting new Web site called jezebel.com recently ran a contest to capture the worst example of the photo shopping or airbrushing of a celebrity on a magazine cover, and even offered a $10,000 incentive to the tipster, because such evidence is hard to find.
The winner was country music star Faith Hill on the July cover of Redbook. Faith Hill, by all accounts a spectacularly beautiful woman, was deemed too abhorrent to be gazed upon by the populace in her natural state of loveliness. (She is, after all, 39 years old.) Instead, editors erased the crow�s lines under her eyes, reduced the size of her arm to grasshopper-like proportions, removed the elbow bend, got rid of a hint of normal back fat, gave her more hair, and basically whittled her down and reduced her to a smiling Stepford concoction.
This happened on the cover of Redbook. Not Playboy or Vogue or even Cosmopolitan, but Redbook, which is supposedly geared to more mature female readers. The fact that this same July cover includes lead stories such as �The new skinny pills � yes, they work!� and �Look and feel your hottest� only underlies the utterly depressing and spooky state of the American medium.
�I was hoping for a Vogue cover because it�s a little more evil than Redbook,� said Anna Holmes, editor of jezebel.com, which posts both the original and unretouched photos on its Web site. (Go look � you�ll get really angry.) �I know magazines do this, but even I was shocked by how much they reduced her and how unnecessary it was. The original photo was of a real woman, and she looked natural and human and accessible. Now, she looks like a robot. The whole idea of what it is to be a female is so distorted, and these kind of images don�t help.�
Redbook, for its part, doesn�t even have the humility to be ashamed for getting caught in such an insidious enterprise. The practice is so prevalent, why should it care?
�The retouching we did on Faith Hill�s photo for the July cover of Redbook is completely in line with industry standards,� said editor in chief Stacy Morrison, which is even more depressing because it happens to be true.
Ms. Morrison added, �We are investigating how the unretouched images got released.� Ms. Holmes wouldn�t reveal the tipster yesterday, saying only that the photos had been provided by �someone associated with or inside Redbook.� Whoever it was, good for them. And good for jezebel.com for exposing it.
The editor of jezebel.com said the idea for the contest came as a natural offshoot of its mission, which is �to present a world to women without it being airbrushed over.� Plus, she said, �Airbrushing is one of the things that (ticks) us off the most.�
Up since late May, jezebel.com is a snarky, entertaining entry from Nick Denton�s Gawker Media, which now contains 14 blogs. Ms. Holmes said the blog received �five to 10� submissions for its contest. She said the intent was not to single out any one magazine, but to highlight the unrealistic media expectation of women � and girls � to be physically perfect.
�This is no big surprise to me,� she said. �Every day there�s another story about a starlet who�s starving herself, or a girl getting breast implants for a high school graduation present, or an 8-year-old who�s dieting. This is part of a larger thing � the insanity, the end of womanhood. Women get rewarded and get attention not for their achievements, but for being objectified.�
She added with a sigh, �I would really hate being a young girl right now.�
We can�t tolerate this nonsense anymore, not if we care about our kids. Women � and men � should resolve to treat these �women�s� magazines like the forgeries and frauds that they are, and refuse to shell out a single cent for them. It�s not as if we�ll be missing much � I�m betting the new skinny pills are as bogus as the magazine cover.

Noon Position: 47 27' S, 21 14' W, SOG 6.6, COG 080, Day's Run 119m,
Week's run 871nm. We're back on the wagon again - the last three days
have seen 30 kt easterlies, 8 foot seas, 5kt easterlies (still with 8 ft
seas), and now finally 25kts from the S - perfect weather to start
making up some of the distance we sailed N & S as this last system went
over. The big news on board today (besides the fact that Odyssey is
pointed in the right direction again) is that I actually managed to
catch a useful amount of rainwater last night - 3 gallons into the tank,
plus a tea-cup's worth to warm me up after 3 hours of shuttling back and
forth in 2am drizzle. Odyssey has (had?) 3 water tanks, a plastic 26
gallon hard tank plus 2 45 gallon bladder tanks. I say had because both
bladder tanks immediately started voiding their contents into the bilge
upon being flung forcibly against the bolts on the inside of their
compartments when we were knocked down off the coast of Chile. And, of
course, the nice weather that the south atlantic first greeted me with
was a double edged sword - it's hard to catch much rain when it's clear
and sunny. So, all in all, despite the small puddle sloshing about on
the floor, threatening my slippers with every roll, and the rivulets of
condensation streaming down every possible surface (and some that seem a
bit impossible), life is looking up.

It's like shooting decoys, isn't it?
There's Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla. 16th Dist.), Duke Cunningham (R-Calif. 50th Dist.), now Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) joining grand hypocrisy parade that includes Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert, Pastor Ted Haggard (who's now completely cured(R) of his homosexual tendencies and cocaine addiction), Henry Hyde who was still having "youthful indiscretions" when he was 41-years old, almost-House Speaker Bob Livingston (who now-Sen. Vitter replaced in the House), Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay and a host of others.
I will be fair. We've had Wilbur Mills, Wayne Hays, Jim Traficant, Dan Rostenkowski, Gary Hart and William J. Clinton amongst others. But I do not recall any of them preaching as long, loud or ostentatiously about the sins of others as have the Republicans noted above.
Isn't it more than a little hypocritical to rail against
There's a story I've been telling for years to illustrate the difference between Democrat and Republican politicians. You see both of them will brazenly enter the church vestibule during the service and pry the poor box off the wall. As they're trying to escape with the fruits of their theft the sexton and some men from the congregation give chase. They catch the Democrat and Republican thieves and drag them back to the church to display their shame to the congregation.
When the Democrat is so presented he'll actually be ashamed. He'll return the stolen money and even turn out his pockets to add his change to the haul that's now in the hands of the congregation. The Democrat will confess his crime and accept his punishment. He will counsel troublesome children in the Sunday School on ways to avoid his failings, not just capture, and will wash dishes at every church supper for the next 6 months or more. He will show up for his penance regularly and on time.
The Republican, however, is a different creature entirely because he's utterly devoid of shame. This captured Republican will break free of his captors and with great theatricality will throw himself on the altar. He will make a great show of begging for the forgiveness of god right there in the holy of holies. Then he'll rise quickly, wipe away the crocodile tears and shove his way to the pulpit still clutching that poor box. He will then preach a sermon on how god has forgiven his sins and wants him to keep the money because, when he spends it in the saloon/brothel/casino/Internet porn site that he so vociferously decries, it will help the economy, improving the economy for every member of the congregation – so he claims – in ways that clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, giving drink to those who thirst, succoring the sick or imprisoned could never do. He will equate succor with suckers and, while the congregation stands there, gape-mouthed in amazement and confusion, he'll slip away with the poor box.
Yes, they're both thieves but I will gladly take the repentant thief over the self-righteous one any day. There's far less hypocrisy in the former than in the latter.If there is a god with a sense of humor I think it's he who gave us Larry Flynt.

Week 24 Update
Well, here we are, Scout and I: 24 weeks pregnant.
Notice I did not say "preggo" or "preggers." Hideous-sounding words, those.
Little Scout has gained about four ounces since last week, and boy, am I feeling it. The skin across my belly feels uncomfortably tight, like my stomach is a beach ball pumped with too much air. Surprisingly, I haven't developed any stretch marks yet (that I know of, at least … I can't really see the underside of my belly anymore, so if I have any there, I'm not aware of it).
Walking for exercise has become a chore. For one thing, I'm getting the pregnant-lady waddle down. My brisk, 4.6-mph walks are a thing of the past. I'm lucky if I can go 3.5 mph these days. The bigger factor, however, is the fact that I feel like my stomach grows, a little like Pinocchio's nose, with each step I take. The first half-mile of a walk is fine. After that, I seriously feel like my stomach sticks farther and farther out. It's the weirdest thing. Maybe Scout is just succumbing to gravity. By the time I finish my walk, my belly-skin feels so tight, and my belly itself so swollen, that I'm almost in what you would call "pain."
So, these days, I'm walking less and doing a lot more prenatal yoga and prenatal body-sculpting instead.
Scout now weighs just over a pound and is about a foot long, head to toe. A whole foot! That's taller than a piece of loose-leaf paper! (Ah, the very term "loose-leaf paper" gets me excited about that wonderful day, six or so years from now, when Scout and I go on our first shopping trip for school supplies!)
Scout is also starting to plump up a bit. (Taking after his/her mommy, I guess.) In fact, Scout will likely gain an entire half pound within the next week. Scout's brain is growing bigger, too, and his or her taste buds are continuing to develop.
Why do I think it's so sweet to imagine Scout's tiny taste buds?
My uterus is now the size of a soccer ball. And, yes, it feels like one that's been pumped up with too much air.
If we look at the pregnancy-as-a-southbound-AT-hike model, I'm now almost through Shenandoah National Park, at approximately Mile 92.4 of Skyline Drive:
Here's a bigger map, for a better idea of where on the "AT" I am:
Almost through Shenandoah National Park ... that means I'm almost to Waynesboro and my old stomping grounds at Mary Baldwin College in Staunton, VA! When I was really there on my thru-hike, I considered it has one of my biggest milestones on the AT.
So I think making it to 24 weeks is a pretty big milestone, too. Sadly, several of the women on the "December 2009 Babies" forum on BabyCenter.com have already had their "December babies," none of whom lived very long. It breaks my heart to read their posts. In fact, their experiences have actually contributed to a couple of very upsetting dreams I've had recently.
I just need to not think about those things right now and focus on the fact that Scout is, so far, very healthy, and that his or her little taste buds are probably the cutest, sweetest taste buds in the history of humanity.

Several of you have suggested that we use PayPal to accept funds from people for the students. We took all of your advice, had been working on the account for a while, and we can now accept monies through PayPal. So if you would like to help out the students in their fund-raising efforts but prefer to use PayPal you can now do so. Just log into PayPal at www.paypal.com and hit the "send money" button. Use the email address firstname.lastname@example.com as the person to send funds to. This will put the funds directly into the account setup for the student's fundraising. (It stands for Church of the Greenwood Campus Pagans.)
I appreciate all of the help that has been given so far and all that I know that will be coming in the future. Once again, please pass this along to those you know and those beyond that and may the gods and goddesses bless all of you and your generosity.

The President says a Republican proposal to extend the Bush tax cuts to everyone for two years is a "basis for conversation." I hope this doesn't mean another Obama cave-in.I'm betting the rich win this contest. They've won everything since the 1980 election of Reagan. They will only stop "winning" when they have completely wrecked the economy. To think that they will one day say "enough" and allow money to trickle down to the poor is to buy the same lie that Reagan retailed back in the 1980s.
Yes, the President needs to acknowledge the Republican sweep on Election Day. But he can do that by offering his own version of a compromise that's both economically sensible and politically smart. Instead of limiting the extension to $250,000 of income (the bottom 98 percent of Americans), he should offer to extend it to all incomes under $500,000 (essentially the bottom 99 percent), for two years.
The economics are clear:
First, the top 1 percent spends a much smaller proportion of their income than everyone else, so there's very little economic stimulus at these lofty heights.
On the other hand, giving the top 1 percent a two-year extension would cost the Treasury $130 billion over two years, thereby blowing a giant hole in efforts to get the deficit under control.
Alternatively, $130 billion would be enough to rehire every teacher, firefighter, and police officer laid off over the last two years and save the jobs of all of them now on the chopping block. Not only are these people critical to our security and the future of our children but, unlike the top 1 percent, they could be expected to spend all of their earnings and thereby stimulate the economy.
The politics are even clearer. Over the next two years, Obama must clarify for the nation whose side he's on and whose side his Republican opponents are on. What better issue to begin with than this one?
The top 1 percent now takes in almost a quarter of all national income (up from 9 percent in the late 1970s), and its political power is evident in everything from hedge-fund and private-equity fund managers who can treat their incomes as capital gains (subject to a 15 percent tax) to multi-million dollar home interest deductions on executive mansions.
If the President can't or won't take a stand now — when he still has a chance to prevail in the upcoming lame-duck Congress — when will he ever?

Marlene J. Ekblad, 82
Marlene Janice Ekblad, 82, of Red Wing died on Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2017, surrounded by her family at the Lake City Care Center.
She was born on April 5, 1935, in Red Wing to Robert and Josephine (Hamre) Ekblad. She graduated from Red Wing High School and married Stuart Ekblad in 1956 at the Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua, Iowa. She lived in Red Wing for a short while and later settled in Red Wing. Her family was her pride and joy. Marlene was a devoted wife and mother who loved to host traditional family gatherings.
Marlene enjoyed bird watching, playing cards and traveling out west and decorating for the holidays. Her favorite holiday was Halloween. Starting in August, Mom would transform her house, from top to bottom, with everything Halloween. She also had a profound love for cats and tended to the strays that had no home.
Also, she was a proud grandparent and a great listener. Her children and grandchildren loved to stop and visit. Much of her time was spent attending the sporting events of her grandchildren and tending to her garden. Marlene was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and will be greatly missed by friends and family.
Marlene is survived by her daughters, Jill (David) Dingle of Boise, Idaho, and Nancy (Bill) Reuter of Hermiston, Oregon; sons, Grant (Calli) Ekblad and Paul Ekblad all of Red Wing; grandchildren Rebekah, Nick, Mikey, Abigail, Stuart, Shayna, Samantha, Sadie, Satchell, Emily and Colt; and 14 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Stuart; son, Shane; parents; brother, Robert Buck; granddaughter, Elizabeth; and niece and nephew, Krissa Buck and Brad Buck.
A private service will be held in honor of Marlene's wishes. Burial will be at the Oakwood Cemetery. Memorials are preferred to Mayo Hospice in Red Wing.
Funeral arrangements are by the Mahn Family Funeral Home Bodelson-Mahn Chapel. Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.mahnfamilyfuneralhome.com.

Thursday November 6, 2008
Hello!! I am back in my apartment after a brief sublet. They were very sweet, Maximiliano the Argentinian guy and his sweet wife said that they enjoyed waking up every morning with my paintings one in particular that was rejected from the GLAAD auction. I'm not bitter. I'm just very happy to be back on my blog. One day when I have a laptop I will publish daily no matter where I am. Anyway, in the scheme of things these are not serious problems. I just think of those readers out there returning to my page to find that I am away. Hey whatever it takes, right. Let me have my dreams.
Seriously though it is amazing how much better and at peace I feel knowing that a competent man and his beautiful family will be at the helm. I do not envy him the road ahead.
Remind me to tell you the one about the Deer Buck, and on Halloween day I heard a radio program about Witch Hunting through the years. Fascinating how brutal man, and women, as it turns out can be. I have so much to do today getting back to work in my studio. The good news is that while away in my other studio I've started some new work and prepped canvas for work so things are moving.

Posted: 15 September 2011

Hi, it's me, Joe.
What an adventurer I am. You might think you know about rain, but you ain't heard nothing till you're living in a canvas tent in the middle of a rainforest! And boy, did it rain when I was at Elephant Hills National Park in Phuket. Didn't let it put a dampener on my spirits though – and the elephants didn't seem to mind either. We had such fun riding on an elephant (though my mummy was a bit worried about sitting in a metal seat with lightning bolts overhead), feeding the elephants (and those big boys have big appetites, they can eat whole pineapples with the spikey skin on!) and washing the elephants (and yes, I did get rather wet myself too).
At the end of the day, we'd retire to the main lodge where we ate delicious home-cooked food, and watched some lovely young girlies singing and dancing traditional Thai dances, which of course I had to join in with. Would have been rude not to, no? Then, we'd end the day chilling out in our tent, covered in insect repellent to keep those pesky bugs away, before lights out, and all you could hear were the spooky jungle sounds outside. Time to snuggle deeper and pull the cover over my head. Sweet dreams!
More of my travels soon,
Love Jxx

Last night Katherine and I had the chance to attend the taping of Jon Stewart's Daily Show with a friend of ours from the kids' school who used to work at Comedy Central. We got the total VIP treatment - hanging out in the employee lounge before being seated in the studio, getting seated first and in totally prime seats (on the front row just to the right of Jon Stewart in the video below), and meeting Jon after the show (he's really down to earth!).
It was cool to see all the work that happens behind the scenes to put on a tv show and fun to be in the audience. One highlight was watching the comedian who came out before Jon Stewart to warm up the crowd; he's a guy by the name of Quentin Heggs, and he's very, very funny (sorry, couldn't find any videos online which are safe for the blog). Who knew there were comedians to warm up the crowd?
After the show we walked a couple of blocks to a terrific restaurant called Taboon at 52nd St. and 10th Avenue here in New York City (here's the New York Magazine review of the restaurant). The bread at the restaurant is absolutely fantastic; we had both a plain loaf (which we ate with tatzik)i as well as a drippy, goopy, cheese-filled loaf. Fantastic!
In some ways the real highlight of the evening was meeting New York Times technology columnist David Pogue and his wife. I've been a huge fan of his writing (blog posts, NYT columns, and books) for some time now, so it was really cool to meet him in person. Here's how it happened: right after we were seated, a couple sat down next to us. I struck up a conversation with the woman, who was sitting right next to me, noting that she had a copy of Daniel Gilbert's Stumbling on Happiness (mentioned previously on The Longest Run here). We went through the usual questions - where do you live, where do you work, what do you do, etc.. The man looked sort of familiar to me and once he said 'technology writer, New York Times,' I knew exactly who it was. We had a long chat before the show, including a demo of his MacBook Air with a wireless broadband modem as mentioned on his blog this week). In person he's just like you'd expect based on reading his blog and columns - funny, friendly, outgoing, and really enthusiastic about great technology. The one thing I didn't get to tell him is that my link to his review of the Flip Video Camera became a big source of traffic to my blog (relatively speaking, given that The Longest Run doesn't exactly have TONS of readers). Even today, if you google 'Pogue flip', my post is the second result.
All in all, a terrific experience.

Governor Information Evening
Oxted School will have a number of vacancies for the Local Governing Body (LGB) over the next few months, both parent-elected and by appointment.
We are therefore holding an open evening at the school on Wednesday 2 May 2018 from 6.30pm to 7.30pm in the Meeting Room to allow anyone who is interested (including non-parents) to find out more about what it means to be a Local Governor within our Multi-Academy Trust.
Our LGB plays a key role in ensuring that the School delivers a high quality education to all our students. The key responsibilities of the LGB, working in conjunction with the Trustees of the Howard Partnership Trust, can be summarised as:
- Ensuring, in conjunction with the School Leadership Team, a clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction of the School
Holding the School to account - monitoring and providing appropriate challenge on School performance in particular:
- effectiveness of leadership and management
- quality of teaching, learning and assessment
- personal development, behaviour and welfare
- outcomes for students
- The School achieves good value for money and so can deliver the School Improvement Priorities
Members of the LGB are volunteers and each individual brings their own skills and experience. Among the most valued attributes are a keen interest in education, commitment to improving educational outcomes for young people and a willingness to work as part of a team.
If you would like to hear more, we would be pleased to welcome you on Wednesday 2 May. Please contact Yvonne Everall (email@example.com) if you would like to attend.
