BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Mother Nature can be thanked for once again changing the peak bloom dates for cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C.
Peak bloom is expected between April 8 and April 12 due to a late blast of winter weather this month, the National Park Service announced Friday.
The peak bloom date is defined as the day when 70 percent of the Yoshino cherry trees are in bloom, according to the NPS.
The original peak bloom dates were projected for March 17 to March 20. The window changed last week from to March 27 through 31 after weather conditions this month slowed down the development of the blossoms.
Every year, more than a million people flock to the city to see the blooms and participate in the National Cherry Blossom Festival. The festival will still be held March 25 to April 15.

"Between the carefree time of grade school, and the awkward years of high school, there was the age undreamed of, the age of the Lord of the Flies, the junior high years, its only respite for some, testosterone-fueled fantasy role-playing games. And onto this, Sally of Vallis, destined to wear the Leg Warmers of Valor into battle. It is I, her Game Master, who alone can tell thee of her saga. Let me tell you of the days of Tits & Dragons!"
Here it is, dear listeners, the second installment of Tits & Dragons, featuring Sally, Queen of the leg warmers!
Also in this episode, your hosts Steve Vinson and Paul Schultz, along with Steve's lovely bride Constance, have a post Thanksgiving stress disorder session. This episode was live on Facebook, and now, for your enjoyment, we present the abridged and perhaps more listenable version. Along the way, conversations with first time listener Scott Tolin, and long time listener, contributor, and friend of the show, A. William Wright, who, as far as we're concerned, much like a particular Kroger Steve frequents, might as well be The William Wright, ensue. Man, was that a run on sentence, or what?!

Was that a quickening of the pulse that coursed through Connecticut in recent days? January turned to February, and rain, not snow, pelted the state. Higher-than-average temperatures in January made high schoolers without jackets appear almost sensible. Now, reports of maple sap running at a Burlington sugar shack suggest a winter in retreat.
Snow shovels are gathering dust. Furnaces spend more minutes at rest, reducing the rate at which ever more precious heating oil and natural gas are being burned. In south-facing gardens, crocuses and daffodils are poking their green shoots up through the earth as the lengthening days and strengthening sun summon them from slumber. Sunday, before the Super Bowl, car washing seemed to be part of the pre-game warmup.

Senor Ping and I spent the morning checking out some changes to the Shutterfly website. We discovered that we are able to link our shutterfly books to our blog. I know that everyone in our family has had an opportunity to see our books (numerous times) but here they are for anyone who hasn't had a chance to view our books.
Merry Christmas!

Lamb 1 thought the music was too loud and covered his ears for the whole hour.
Lamb 3 had the best time of all our Lambs. He played with a beach ball and...
danced and danced.
Here's the steel drum band. They were really loud. They even played the Hallelujah Chorus. I bet you've never heard that on drums!
When we got home Lamb 1 wanted to have his own band.
Lamb 1 and 2 making music.
Lamb 2
Lamb 3 with Ram. Ram, Lamb 1 and Lamb 3 had matching shirts from Hawaii from when Ram's parents went. Lamb 3 wasn't born when they went so Lamb 2 didn't have a shirt to match. He wore a different Hawaiian type shirt. Ewe didn't wear her matching dress partly because she didn't want Lamb 2 to be the only one that was dressed different; because she couldn't nurse Lamb 3 in that dress; and because it was 10 degrees today.
We had a fun afternoon at the beach party after I got the minivan stuck in the parking lot at church this morning and had to be shoveled out. At least we had church and we were healthy enough to go!

Our little Bugs attended her very first music class today! We had planned for her to commence her lifelong appreciation of music sometime last year and had been looking forward with some anticipation for this day to arrive.
But introducing something new to Bugs always makes me a little nervous – Will she enjoy it? Will she decide that music doesn't rock her world and protest throughout the class? How would I then be able to share my love of Michael Jackson songs with her? These questions, and many more, occupied my thoughts throughout the week.
We arrived at the class and were warmly welcomed by the music teacher into the room. He handed us a few musical instruments – a tambourine and a couple of shakers and instructed us at which stage in the session they would be used. I nervously kept my eye on Bugs while we waited for the class to commence.
The teacher whipped out his guitar and began strumming a little tune that incorporated the names of all the babies in the room. And as if on cue, Bugs began bopping to the rhythm ! I glanced around the room and found most of the babies doing pretty much the same thing. My eyes caught the gaze of a few other parents and we smiled at each other, silently acknowledging the relief that had overcome us.
Our little one did enjoy the rest of the class- she gladly tapped along to the tunes, fingered the musical instruments with curious enthusiasm and was generally happy taking in the musical atmosphere that had been specially created to enhance her senses. And to complete the experience, our little Bugs received her first ever "Well done for participating" stamp in the shape of a bumblebee!
There were a few proud faces at the end of the session and I was definitely one of them!

For those of you familiar with Mena Lee Grebin, I used to check her blog regularly…but her blog posts have become much less frequent.
A few minutes ago I realized that (not unlike myself) she appears to be maintaining two blogs.
The post I'm sharing tonight is dated December 16, 2016 but feels very pertinent to the time the church is now in. ..

Graphene and Silicon 'Sawdust' Could Make Better Batteries
Posted: 08:01AM
Author: Guest_Jim_*
Batteries are an integral part of many modern technologies, especially those that use lithium ions for storing energy. Typically these batteries use a graphite anode but for some time researchers have been trying to build silicon anodes, which offer greater energy storage, but they have significant resiliency problems. Now researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University have found a way to make viable silicon anodes with the help of graphene.
Batteries work by moving ions between the anode and the cathode, and charging involves the ions entering the anode. A silicon anode in a lithium-ion battery could hold ten times the energy of a graphite anode, but silicon swells when it absorbs the ions, and this swelling can cause it to break and the battery to fail. To One way to address this issue is to work with silicon particles so small that the swelling does not matter, but previous attempts tended to be inefficient. This new design though works a bit differently as it places the silicon particles inside of graphene cages. Graphene is an atom-thick sheet of carbon that is very strong, flexible, and conductive, and it actually improves the conductivity of the silicon particles. To create the cages, the researchers start with the silicon particles and coat them with a layer of nickel. The nickel then acts as a catalyst to grow the graphene on top of, and the nickel can then be etched away to leave the particle plenty of room to swell without damage.
Just as important as the viability of a silicon anode is that the silicon particles can be micrometers in width, which are much easier and cheaper to produce than smaller nanostructures. In fact, silicon particles microns in width are a waste product to the milling of silicon for computer chips, like sawdust is for cutting wood.

Action Spectra: Emphasis Mammalian Cells
The utility of action spectroscopy to study responses of biological cells and tissues is firmly established (Jagger, 1967). At a minimum, a carefully completed action spectrum can assess the amount of biological effect as a function of wavelength. While action spectra are of intrinsic value, providing experimental assessment of the consequences of exposure to electromagnetic radiation, in addition, regulations that set standards for radiation exposure must be based on such biological data. Beyond the need for action spectra in health and regulation lies a more fundamental question frequently addressed by workers in this field, i.e., what is the "target" molecule for each observed effect? The "target" is not always obvious from the details of the action spectrum observed. Although it is possible that the measured effect has the same wavelength dependence as the absorption spectrum for an identifiable, important cellular molecule (Gates, 1930) action spectra, especially in complex systems, often cannot be simply superimposed on the absorption spectrum of a known molecule (Todd et al., 1968).

LSC-Tomball took on Houston Baptist University on Saturday and were able to defeat their opponent 6-0 in a home match for the Timberwolves.
The game got off to an intense start with both teams seeing their fair possession of the ball until Sergio Sanchez (Klein) was able to score the first goal of the match unassisted at the 15:35 mark. Ten minutes later Sanchez would hit a long shot from 25 yards out which the keeper would deflect but Juan Arrazola(Klein Collins) would touch it in making the score 2-0.The HBU keeper would hurt his wrist on the play and have to be substituted. Two minutes later after a save by captain Victor Martinez(Tomball), sophomore Derrick LaBroda (Klein Collins) would spring himself on a break away where he nutmegged the HBU replacement keeper. In the second half Tomball would put the game out of reach when freshman forward Luis Medina(Klein Collins) would beat two defenders and cross the ball which resulted in an own goal by HBU. The game would be finished out with two more goals off assists by Lionel Nixxon (Klein Oak) to Mark Kinyan (Kenya) and LaBroda respectively. Freshman keeper Antonio Salgado(Klein Oak) would make two key saves towards the end of the game to preserve the defensive shutout.
The Timberwolves are back in action Thursday night in an away match against HCC-South East.

Recently a business colleague Matt Freedman facilitated a discussion on at which there was a general concensus that there is a lack of myspace type networks for business. Matt indicated that ecademy.com comes close but is very cluttered and you have to pay for a lot of the features.
In response, Matt decided to kick off a social network for Australia entrepreneurs. you can find it here http://australianentrepreneur.ning.com
Personally I am a member of linkedin.com and have found it to be a great tool for connecting with others and allowing me connect with others in coaching and communications ie it is a connection network not a social network. See my profile http://www.linkedin.com/in/heidialexandrapollard
Join in either of these communities and contribute and share with others.

Lighten Up!! Chili
Quick and Easy Chili
So after 29 years of marriage, I come to find out that I have been under a misconception. I had thought all these years that my husband did not like chili. I am quite sure I made it soon after we were married and he was not impressed. Now it's hard to wreck a bowl of chili, so I don't think it was the me, but apparently it was. So I casually mentioned that it would be nice if he liked chili because it's just so easy to make. He told me that he never said he didn't like chili. Go figure!! It was that very day that I made my second pot of chili in 29 years and this time . . . he was impressed. I have since made three more pots since we have a lot of catching up to do. This is a pretty easy and delicious recipe and it's great over grilled hot dogs with onions and cheese. . . which is what we do with the leftovers.
- 2 pounds lean ground beef or ground chicken (even more light)
- 1 medium onion – chopped
- 1 large stalk celery – chopped
- 1 16 ounce can kidney beans – rinsed and drained
- 1/2 jar salsa
- 1 14 1/2 ounce can of diced tomatoes with juice
- 1/2 can tomato sauce
- 1/2 – 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 1 can beef consomme
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons steak sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic power
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
In a large dutch oven, brown ground beef or chicken, onion and celery over medium heat until meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Drain.
Stir in beans and remaining ingredients.
Bring to boil
Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour or until chili reaches desired thickness.
Ladle into serving bowls and serve with shredded cheddar cheese and onions, if desired.
Serves 6-8
1 1/2 cup serving – 350 calories

Garlic Rice Pilaf
This garlic rice pilaf is almost as good as the rice from that beloved casserole and it's better for me without all the margarine and sodium in the chicken bouillon and soup mix. This pilaf is a great side dish to accompany any main course protein you have on your menu. Add to its great flavor the fact that its easy to put together and doesn't require a lot of hands on cooking time really make it a great choice for your next dinner party.
Printer Friendly Version
Garlic Rice Pilaf
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup long grain brown rice
3 large garlic cloves pressed
2 1/2 cups chicken broth divided
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Heat the butter over medium high heat

Possibly, a new species is evolving...
You guessed it… it's a new breed of young human beings!
They are referred to as "homo slackass-erectus" created by natural genetic evolution through constant spineless posturing, and spasmatic upper limb gestures, which new research has shown to cause shorter legs and an inability to ambulate other than in an awkward shuffling gait.
Maybe we are going back to being apes ??
The only danger to this new species would be National Service..... Oh those were the days!!!!!!

Is no-(sham)poo for you?
December 6, 2017
Filed under Entertainment
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Hair is a popular subject in today's society. Whether it is No-Shave November, the latest styles, hair products or colors, hair is a recurring topic for many beauty magazines and everyday people.
For most people with hair longer than a few inches we are forced to do something with our hair each day (unless we are going with a messy look). Keeping one's hair healthy and clean can help boost confidence, and with the millions of hair products, both synthetic and organic, there are plenty of ways to do it. But washing your hair with these products might end up doing more harm than good.
People often complain that if they go more than a few days between washing their hair becomes greasy and oily, but this oil is natural. Sebum, a natural oil in your hair, is found in the follicles and helps keep your hair healthy, strong and conditioned. Harsh chemicals in shampoos strip away the sebum and leave your hair damaged and weak. In fact, over-washing your hair can lead to increased sebum production as the hair's glands sense that it is drying out, sending the oil glands into overdrive.
So what is the alternative? I promise it isn't leaving your hair dirty forever (proper hygiene is important). According to the No-Poo Method website using gentle, more natural replacements shampoo, such as baking soda and apple cider vinegar can keep your hair clean without damaging it. You can even just skip hair products all together and just use water.
Though the world will probably not switch to avoiding shampoo for the rest of my life, something that can be taken away from the No-Poo movement: people shampoo their hair way too much. Cutting back a little will not only save us money on hair care products, but also save our hair too.

Cultural Diversity: Last July, France turned down a petition for citizenship by a French Moroccan woman on the grounds that her submissiveness makes her "insufficiently assimilated" into the country's ethos of gender equality. Because she veils her body in public, rejects the idea of voting and leaves important matters to the discretion of her husband, she's unfit for French culture. Does this sound weird to you? Isn't this someone who France should welcome into their country? Perhaps the opportunity for more freedom would be beneficial.
Acupuncture: Japan's Osakana Planning Co. administers acupuncture to each fish prior to its death to reduce stress. The benefits--superior quality of sushi. Is it me or does this seem a bit excessive or extreme? I can't even afford acupuncture for myself on a regular basis. Also does the doctor insert needles into the fish while in a tank of water? Or is the fish gasping for air as tiny needles are poked in? Do fish have chakras and meridians like we do?

Tucson, Ariz. — I couldn't believe the editorial about men vying for the most hazardous method of doing household ironing ("A new wrinkle for Iron Men," June 4).
Instead of pumping iron, are they trying to demonstrate their virility by ironing clothes while hang-gliding?
If they are looking for "exotic" places to perform this obnoxious chore, I'll dream up something, like fighting off the scorpions in my Tucson, Ariz., back yard, if they will come here with iron in hand, ready to work.

This may seem cheap, but I'm going to just copy a blog I made on my MySpace one. Oh well, at least it's better than me copying a blog from someone else, right? This features my friend Christian as my helper:
Christian says:
"I have to spoon feed you. Machinery, what you hate, perverts, girls not meaning what they say. Take a bunch of these."
What I have to say:
Spoon feeding eh? Must really suck for babies, you can't control when or what you eat, you are just forced food into your mouth by a massive giant. They have lame tricks to make you eat it like "Woah it's a plaaane zooom". Nice job, I know I love to wake up in the morning and have a plane fly right into my mouth wiuehrf.
Machinery? Machinery is fucking awesome. They just do all the jobs we can't be bothered to do anymore, and make this country awesome. Yep. When I grow up I wanna be a machine.
What I hate? I hate a lot of things such as dick heads and being a coward on lots of occasions. Those 2 mainly.
Girls not meaning what they say? Like when they say "I love you" and they mean "I like you for this brief moment of time" or when they tell you they're super man and you find out they aren't? Both piss me off sometimes but the latter more because wtf I tell all my friends I've found super man. Don't chat that shit to me you can't lie about stuff like that.

Should high street banks be threatened by the advent of Open Banking?
YES – Paul Rippon, deputy chief executive and co-founder challenger bank Monzo.
A lack of competition has helped the big banks thrive for years. They've had little incentive to deliver better products or lower prices, and rely on the inconvenience of switching to keep people's custom. Ultimately, this means that customers lose out.
The arrival of Open Banking proves there is both consumer desire and regulatory support for increasing competition within the industry. If it works as intended, it could help challengers gain momentum and wrest power away from the big banks.
The way we interact with banks is changing. At the moment, we choose our bank for relatively arbitrary reasons (for the free gift or because it's where our parents bank). We then stay with them for years, using their products for all our financial needs.
Instead, we'll soon be able to access our pick of the best products the market has to offer, while also being able to view and manage all our finances from one single place. This will be a victory for consumers, and a very real threat to traditional banks.

NO – Leon Muis, chief operating officer of ING's Yolt.
Open Banking is the combined efforts of the government, banks, and third-party providers to reinvent the banking ecosystem and make it really work for each and every customer.
The Competition Markets Authority is positioning it as a technological revolution, which we hope will help drive further competition and innovation. Having access to more data than ever before should open up a world of opportunities for banks and third-party providers.
Open Banking is designed to further empower consumers by allowing them to make better financial decisions and have more control over their money. Yolt was designed with the principles of Open Banking in mind, and since our launch last summer, over 100,000 registered users have benefitted from this, demonstrating that there is a real appetite for such services in the UK.

I've already written this post once, and, thanks to Firefox, I get to write it again. I know I have advertisements for Firefox on my site, and though they are better than Internet Explorer, I still prefer Apple's Safari. At least it doesn't crash when I'm nearly finished creating a post, wasting at least a half-hour of work.
1. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
In the genre of Christmas films Cousin Eddie is possibly the best character. I also think he is a composite of several members of my extended family. If you've only ever watched this on tv, be prepared to fast-forward a couple parts
2. A Christmas Story
Red Rider BB guns, the neighbor's hounds, the smiling Christmas duck, chocolate ovaltine--this movie has it all. And you can't beat the tongue on the flagpole--that's the type of humor that appeals to all ages.
3. Scrooged
We love watching the angel/ghost beat the snot out of Bill Murray's character. If you like Groundhogs Day or What About Bob? or Ghostbusters you'll love Bill Murray in this movie. Ditto on the self-edit, the tv version cuts out some of the unnecessary crass material.
4. It's a Wonderful Life
I'm sometimes sentimental but never sappy. This is one you can watch with the whole family.
5. Elf
This movie is good, but not great. I particularly enjoy the scene where Will Ferrell tries to put the star on the tree. Also, answering his father's office phone, "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" is classic and oft repeated. Speaking of oft repeated quotes from Will Ferrell, can we please be done with everything being "kind of a big deal?" Sure, I think more cowbell is just as funny as the next guy, and I know Ferrell is popular because even the dumb get his jokes, but still, can we let this one die, please? It's overused in the way "alrighty then" from Ace Ventura Pet Detective was abused. Apologies to those of you too young (especially my frosh American Heritage students) to remember that movie or the quote or, if you do, don't remember why it was funny. You probably don't remember because it wasn't that funny in the first place. But, in ten years when some little-read blog writes about Anchorman and how everyone used to wait around for the obligatory reference to something being "kind of a big deal," you'll wonder at the fact that you thought it was so frickin hilarious. And then, you'll know what I mean.
6. The Santa Clause
My sister wanted me to include this one. And yes, I did watch Home Improvement growing up, and loved it.
7. Santa Claus The Movie
Before there was Elf there was this movie where an Elf leaves the North Pole because he doesn't fit in. This movie has Dudley "need I say" Moore? Seriously. Need I?
8. White Christmas
I first watched this movie because Chevy Chase's character (Clark Griswold) referred to it in his famous rant near the end of Christmas Vacation. Watch this one with grandma.
9. Home Alone
What is it about pain that gets such big laughs? Suspend your hate of Macauley Culkin and watch this one with your younger cousins or neices and nephews--that way you can either laugh at the movie or their response.
10. A Muppet Christmas Carol
My favorite version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. This one should also appeal to your friends of the Angry Left. I don't know why I wrote that, it just felt right (no pun intended).

Nice list. We took a week long poll at the Testing Center before Christmas break (allowing people to pick their top three favorites) and were absolutely amazed to see that It's a Wonderful Life far outranked all the others. I've probably only watched it once, all the way through, and I admit it was lovely, but definitely not my number one. I personally prefer Muppet Christmas Carol. Glad it made your list. So. Merry Christmas and the like. Give the family love!

"This is reality, Greg!"
Kyle and I enjoy our Friday date nights. We also enjoy the fact that every day is a date because it is just us! It's great. On Fridays we try to do an actual date. Sometimes we are better at it than other times. This weekend Kyle nailed it! We hadn't gone on a really "real" date in a while (how long can a while be since we have only been married 4 months? haha). So this weekend Kyle told me our date was a surprise. When Friday rolled around, we made our way first to Purity Ice Cream and then to a movie in the park. Purity has a reputation here for being the best and I have been wanting to try it for a while. Kyle made it our first stop. Then we headed to stop two--the movie in the park. This was especially significant to us, since our first date was a movie in the park. As we got to the park we had one of those moments that probably won't be as funny in writing as it was in real life, but I'm gonna try and explain it anyway. Kyle, purely motivated Kyle, the planner of our date, carried along the tote bag he had prepared. First, he pulls out a blanket to lay on and says proudly "I brought a sheet to put down under our blanket so it doesn't get dirty." He whips out the sheet and his face just falls in disappointed and he says "Awwhhhh no it's the fitted sheet!" I couldn't decide whether to laugh, console or be proud about the fact I had folded the sheet well enough he couldn't tell earlier. Then from the bottom of the bag he pulls out a pillow, straight from our bed, white pillow case and all. Don't worry, like I did, it surprisingly didn't get dirty. Then we laid down on our blanket and I asked Kyle what movie was playing to which he replied, "...ET..." HA! Life is just too good. So there we were on our fitted sheet, with a pillow from our bed, watching E.T. I couldn't help but just smile and be grateful for my sweet, thoughtful wonderful husband.

Can gun-control advocates translate post-Parkland passion into results at Minnesota polls?
Sydney Lewis used to be just another theater kid at Eden Prairie High School.
That changed February 14, when 17 students were shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Now, Lewis is an activist, leading her fellow students on marches out of the classroom and meeting with her local congressman to talk about gun issues.
Frustrated with lack of progress on the issue, the high school sophomore is also now a campaign organizer, working to vote out lawmakers this fall who don't support changing the state and nation's gun laws — a group that includes her congressman, Republican U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen.
"Adults, we took to the streets, now it's your turn to take to the polls," Lewis told a group of more than 300 people gathered in a Brooklyn Park high school auditorium on Saturday.
The event was a part of Town Hall For Our Lives, a series of meetings held in cities across Minnesota and the nation on Saturday where students aimed to take their frustrations on the gun control debate and use it to increase turnout at the polls this fall.
The size and sustained momentum of the movement in the wake of the Parkland shooting has surprised some political pundits, but many are wondering if the sense of urgency can continue for another eight months, when Minnesota will have an open governor's race on the ballot, all eight congressional seats, two U.S. Senate seats and more.
"I think that's the million dollar question," said University of Minnesota Political Science Professor Andrew Karch. "Historically there has been overwhelming support for a lot of these actions but these supporters tend not to vote on the gun issue."
"I think that the attention that the Parkland survivors have been able to maintain has been unusual from the perspective of previous events, which seemed to have a moment of salience but not much of a lingering impact," Karch added. "It seems like the high school students in particular are very savvy and seem to be quite skilled at organizing events that keep the issue front and center."
Turning apathy into energy
For years, lawmaker's decisions on guns were often influenced by an assumed apathy, at least on one side of the issue. While there was often a majority of voters who supported gun-control measures, people didn't necessarily get out and vote on them. That was countered by a smaller but much more politically active group of gun owners who came out consistently to vote on the issue of preserving gun rights.
Rob Doar, the political director of the Minnesota Gun Owners Political Action Committee, said supporters of gun control measures spent at least $900,000 in the 2016 election compared to $60,000 from his group and the National Rifle Association. He expects that number will only increase this fall. "Even with that much spent, they only flipped two seats," Doar said. "We expect that we will continue to have success engaging Minnesota's law abiding gun owners at the polls in 2018."
Past movements to change gun laws haven't led to big changes. In 2000, activists organized the Million Mom March in Washington, D.C. and in 70 other locations across the country after a shooting in a Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills, California. But that didn't necessarily translate to more activity at the polls that year — or in the cycles that followed.
The youthfulness of the Parkland movement has also lead some to dismiss how much of an impact they can have on the ballot in the fall. Many the most motivated activists not yet old enough to vote, even if they've come of age during one of the most politically divided moments in the nation's history, in the wake of the election of President Donald Trump. Still, in past elections, the youth vote has been consistently low compared to older voters, who tend to hold more conservative views on gun ownership.
"I think for a long time young people were seen as this slumbering giant," said Ian Feagler, a student at Hopkins High School who spoke at the town hall. "But now we're waking up."
'Thoughts and prayers don't save lives'
The students, and members of the local chapter of Indivisible, a Trump resistance group that cropped up in chapters across the country, were cognizant of the hurdles on Saturday as the met at the town hall.
The groups coordinated to put on the town hall, and there were booths set up to register voters for the upcoming midterm election in Minnesota. Candidates for office were on hand to answer questions about gun control legislation. Groups like Moms Demand Action said they were flexing their political muscles and making endorsements for candidates in some of the major races in Minnesota. Paulsen was invited to the event but had a scheduling conflict, organizers said, so they propped up a cardboard cutout of him where attendees stuck Post-it notes with comments for him.
"It seems like there is a stronger attempt to create an infrastructure that is more lasting," said Karch. "The goal, of course, is to make it so that these events are not one time affairs."
Richard Carlbom, who is working with Democrat Dean Phillips' campaign against Paulsen in the 3rd District, said their campaign went from 25-30 student volunteers to nearly 100 after the Parkland shooting, calling themselves the #DeansList. Both Phillips and another DFL candidate, Adam Jennings, were on hand to answer questions from the audience about the issue.
"That cardboard cutout of Erik Paulsen is the closest I've come to seeing the man," Phillips said. "Thoughts and prayers don't save lives; actions save lives."
Lewis knows that turning protest energy into success at the polls isn't going to be easy, but she pushed back on the notion that teenagers like herself can't make a lasting impact on the system. Many of the young activists coming out of the Parkland shooting will be eligible to vote this year, or in the 2020 presidential race.
"Anyone who tries to silence or disregard our action because we are teenagers, look at this history books," Lewis said. "Every movement has started with young people. Look in the history book again in 15 years, and you will see us, we are the upcoming voters."

I found it interesting
That although Erik Paulsen rejected an invitation to this event, he did find the time to tweet from a hockey game he was attending at the time.
The focus needs to widen
Much of what I have seen recently drills in on the GOP as the main problem in getting anything moving legislatively. In the past there have been a number of votes on the DFL side of the isle that have consistently been against any attempts to change. The folks who are serious about getting some changes in the law and policy need to get beyond the party labels and look at the voting records to see which nameplates need changing.
Despite all the protests, repubs still ignore us
I find it interesting that despite the massive numbers of protests here and around the country...and yet the repubs ignore all the reasons for these protests.
It's kind of like town hall meetings that repubs won't hold any longer because people are mad at them.
Perhaps...if they were logical...they might understand why and start to listen to the people.
Naw...that's too logical for repubs.
Mis-attributed to Gandhi
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
How do you measure?
I don't know whether it can be determined what drives people to the polls. Dems have seen significant enthusiasm & support in recent special elections. Is that driven by Parkland and student activists? #metoo? Black Lives Matter? Distaste for Trump?
Another pointless, stating the obvious, article on guns and defe
Why does the media always want to be the first to predict gloom, doom and failure while avoiding the substantive questions? It's done by asking pointless, killer questions that have no answers. Like this article. You should be much more diligently following the victims and, in this case, clearly the next victims.
The questions that need asking are:
1. How many deaths per day will it take to force action for public safety by those responsible.
2. How many gun deaths and woundings per day in a box on the front page?
3. Every public official should be on record with the number that will trigger action on their part.
4. Why are their actual laws on the books preventing the proper monitoring of gun related violence, research regarding causes and effects ands a public roster if those killed or injured. . . who is responsible and why have they not acted?
5. Who, specifically by name, are the people, groups and contributors who keep this information from us?
If you are going to cover this issue, deal with the substance, forget all the cheap PR stuff on the periphery. Most of tat has no real value, except to the players who are the obstructers rather than the shooters or the victims.This is a story about crime, death, conspiracy and public malfeasance.
Develop some real expertise rather than just harvesting the best that PR people are shoveling on this issue. Lives are at stake every day.
"1. How many deaths per day will it take to force action for public safety by those responsible?"
As of the last census, there are 13,506 school districts in the US. Every time there is a school shooting local legislators seem to have an epiphany on actually doing something regardless of previously held views.
So to answer your question:
A lot.
Unless we get proactive and send equivocators like Paulsen and Lewis packing. And if you doubt that, I guarantee that a western suburb school shooting here would have Erik Paulsen right up front saying now is the time to act because our kids are getting killed, not some congressman in Florida's kids getting killed.
An inability to serve the public good. And for Paulsen, a failure to learn the single most important lesson Jim Ramstad taught us: you represent us not Paul Ryan or any other political leader.
I'm going to register students at an area high school
After that, it's up to them.
Unfortunately, young people's turnout on election day is often weak, especially during midterm elections like this one. Perhaps this year will be different.
Beat the drum
These kids need to remember:
Pro gun = be armed 24-7-365 and be prepared to kill or be killed 24-7-365 (This is supported by the NRA's position of conceal and carry as well as open carry anywhere, every where all the time.
The common sense folks: There has got to be a better solution than the NRA - Pro gun lobby!
Sorry some of us baby boomers left such a gun crazy mess. But we are supporting your efforts and actions 100%. Make your mark!
Why does Paulsen mock his constituents while hiding?"
Thank you Briana Bierschbach for your thorough article. A couple points: there are many Indivisible groups in Minnesota. IndivisibleMN03, of the Third Congressional District, was a co-organizer for this event. www.IndivisibleMN03.org. https://www.facebook.com/IndivisibleMN03/
Congressman Paulsen received many invitations from the student organizers and others to attend this Town Hall for our Lives event while on his congressional break. He chose not to. Instead he spent Saturday afternoon re-watching highlights of the Congressional Hockey Challenge (CHC) as he noted in his tweet at the same time the town hall was underway. https://twitter.com/RepErikPaulsen/status/982693660155432960.
Paulsen participated in the March 15, 2018 CHC event so he is undoubtedly familiar with the "highlights". This makes his re-watching the highlights of his hockey prowess (in leu of engaging students and constituents in a free and public forum) and then tweeting about during the town hall a gross mockery of those he represents. There obviously was no schedule conflict if he was watching reruns.
This is behavior completely unbecoming of a Congressman. Shame on him.
Wrong question
The question isn't what kind of momentum these student activists can maintain, the question is what kind of momentum ALL of us can maintain? It's not just up to these students, although they are succeeding where the rest of us have been failing for decades.
Another thing that troubles me is the fact that I have twice now heard gun nuts make explicit physical threats to David Hogg and some other students... and we appear to be tolerating this. Threats are NOT protected speech and I don't know why we're not responding much more vigorously when we see them.
We need to encourage
and support these young adults so that they remain committed to the effort. They have many 'irons in the fire' with a full time job as a student, many also working at part time jobs in addition to holding up their end of their families' structure as well as learning the ropes of a social life. Many of them are more committed to a better world than those who are opposing them and who have been stilted by years of self-centeredness.
The youth of today are the future of this Country's tomorrow. We who have 'been there' need to put our faith into today's youth and support them when they need support...and that is now.

Installing Java and Eclipse
Below are links to two tutorials on how to install Java and Eclipse on your computer. You must install Java JDK first, then Eclipse. The version of java installed on the Department's computers is Java 1.8. We suggest that you install that version on your machine. Note that some of the instructions and images on the tutorials are outdated, as they might refer to prior versions of java or Eclipse. Keep this in mind when reading the tutorials.
The latest version of Eclipse is called Eclipse Oxygen. While on eclipse's download page, click on "Download packages" (below "Get Eclipse Oxygen"). Select your operating system (top right corner of window for "Try the Eclipse Installer"). Then download the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers".

- A report from the Zambian Observer says a woman infected over 100 men with HIV
- She turned herself to the police before her intentions of contaminating 900 more came to reality
- Her family did not know of her terrible condition
A 19-year old girl from Pretoria was arrested after she arrived at a police station to confess that she had already deliberately infected around 100 men with HIV, according to a story published by the Zambian Observer.

The female, who goes by the name of Amanda, also commented she had been planning on infecting even more men, in order to arrive on the one thousand mark of contaminated males.
Police reports state Amanda wanted to make a report against herself, because she did not have any money to pay for her treatment.

The young woman apparently said the pain of knowing her fate "was unbearable," adding that she "couldn't face the world anymore" and her life had become "a mess."
Amanda feels her only joy was to make men pay with their lives. "I buried the good girl in me and became a Real Bad B**tch. That's what they all wanted," she said, according to the police.

Her relatives claim they are completely shocked, as they were not aware of her dire condition. She had allegedly become depressed lately, and was consuming alcohol and drugs. It is now believed that she was trying to kill herself, because on one occasion she drank rat poison, although her objective failed, which only led her into more anger and rage.
This woman's case is sadly not the only one happening around the world. There are numerous other reports of similar situations, regarding women -and men- knowingly infected others with this terrible virus. Here is one of them:

|Cardiac effects (prevalence)
|Pericardial disease (6–30%)
|Most common manifestation of radiation-induced heart disease and a diagnosis of exclusion. Occurs due to fibrinous exudates to the pericardial surface, fibrotic changes to the parietal pericardium. Acute pericarditis is often self-limiting. Chronic pericarditis is often effusive–constrictive
|Coronary artery disease (up to 85%)
|Due to capillary network/epicardial coronary arteries damage and sustained inflammation via NF-κB. Usually occurs ≥10 years post-radiation therapy. Involves the LM, ostial LAD and RCA. Lesions are longer, smoother, concentric and tubular. Incidence increased by standard CV risk factors
|Valvular heart disease
|The mean time interval of 12 years. Diffuse fibrosis of the valvular cusps or leaflets, with or without calcification; no post-inflammatory changes noted. Left-sided valves > right-sided valves. Initial regurgitation related to valve retraction > later stenosis related to thickening/calcification
|Conduction system abnormalities
|Not very common. Tachycardias can be persistent and is usually a result of autonomic dysfunction, similar to denervated hearts. Persistent tachycardia could increase the risk of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy
|Due to increased fibrosis in all three layers of the ventricular walls (epicardium, myocardium and endocardium). May lead to restrictive cardiomyopathy and rarely to systolic dysfunction. In addition, fibrosis of the right ventricle is usually more extensive than of the left ventricle
*Consider heart transplantation for the small group of patients with biventricular dysfunction, calcified cardiac skeleton, prior open heart surgery and/or restrictive/constrictive haemodynamic status.

Hey, I don't have a lot of time to talk this week because we are going to the center of Teresina today. I am in a zone of all sisters here. It is really cool because we can all talk to all of our old companions and every one every night when we get home. We are going to have lunch all together today in the center. My new area is HUGE!!! The very first day we met a member of our new ward they said "oh sister, what did you do? Why does your president not like you? You must have done something wrong if your president put you guys here." Hmm. That is not the best way to start out in a new area. One day our Bishop picked us up to show us around our area a little. We were driving for about 3ish hours and we didn't even get to half of our area. Haha, it is going to be a lot of work here, but it will be good.
I have to go now,
I love you!! Have a great week!

March through May 2015 was the state of Washington's warmest recorded spring since the early 1990s, with low temperatures particularly warm, according to the Washington State University AgWeatherNet based in Prosser.
The Mid-Columbia and nearby areas were wetter than western areas of the state in May, a significant departure from normal conditions, it said.
At Prosser, temperature highlights from the season included: the second warmest spring on record; the warmest spring low on record; the warmest May since 1993; the warmest May low on record and the warmest March on record.
"The dominant weather pattern in May was an unusual split flow setup that featured a ridge northwest of Washington," said AgWeatherNet meteorologist Nic Loyd. "That cut off lows to our south, so we observed warm, moist and unstable conditions."
May also may be remembered for the rainfall on May 13 in south central Washington. Much of the lower Columbia Basin from the lower Yakima Valley and Horse Heaven Hills eastward to the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla recorded more than one inch of rain, with isolated reports of more than two inches.
"The rainfall could not have come at a more opportune time for this region, given that the Roza Irrigation District water was shut off for much of May," said AgWeatherNet director Gerrit Hoogenboom. "Unfortunately, the one-day event will have little impact on the long-term snow drought situation."

Sunday, July 27, 2008: Today's Special: Life Lessons
Although July has been a blessedly restful month for me at the café, it has not been without its dramas. The "I want hours, no I don't" scenario has continued to play out with several of my longer tenured employees.
Cook in Training No. 1 continues to be [a problem.] Back in June, after graduating from her high school completion class, she left me a long, impassioned note about how she was now available to work any hours, wanted to work forty hours and, in fact, needed the hours/money in order to pay her bills. And then she requested a week's vacation.
After her return about four weeks ago, I took her at her word and started giving her as many hours as I could send her way. ...Cook No. 1 got between 30 and 40 hours on the next three schedules. Essentially, she got exactly what she asked for, within my ability to grant it.
By the end of the first week of her new schedule, Cook No. 1 was already draggin' her wagon. All we heard when she showed up for work was how tired she was, and she was the first one to raise her hand if the need arose to send someone home early. Odd behavior for someone who needed the money so badly, but I figured perhaps it would take a few weeks for her to get used to working so many hours.
Long story short, after three weeks of working what passes for full-time these days, young Cook had apparently had her fill. She went home sick two days in a row the fourth week. But found time to research and register for some school program for which she will begin classes August 11. And left me a note about how she was sorry, but she needed to go back to school and would only be available to work Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays after school started. Was I surprised? Not really. Was I disappointed? Not really. I knew in my heart that young Cook did not want what she was asking me for.
In another life, I would have been proud to fill the role of mentor in her life. She's a smart, talented girl, and if she was inclined, she could have become an important part of our team. Working at the café could have been a valuable learning experience for her, instead of a constant tug-of-war between her issues and her desire to rise above them. It's been obvious for some time that the issues were winning...
And (here's the update...) They did.
It took seven more months of tug-of-war, but in the end, her demons dragged her right out the door.
Little Cook No. 1 and I pow-wowed on the sidewalk behind the café last Friday afternoon. Or, more accurately, I stood in nearly speechless disbelief while this twenty-year-old basically tore me a new one. And then she stalked off into the sunset presumably never to be heard from again.
My great transgression, this time, was to cut her back to three shifts, totaling eleven hours, on next week's schedule. How dare I? "Eleven hours? Eleven hours, Lisa! I can't live on that! How am I supposed to live on that?" Followed by a twenty-minute diatribe which assigned me the blame for every evil short of the 9/11 terrorist attacks…
She has worked her ass off for me for two years (Her tenure at the café has been a two-year maneuver through the minefield of her personal dramas, up to and including a pregnancy and miscarriage in December of 2007, through which we unconditionally supported her, held her position for her and welcomed her back when she was able to return.)
She needs money. She can't pay her bills. How dare I cut everyone's hours just to save a buck??? (The economy sucks, sales are in the crapper, and I have eight people depending upon me to provide them with some kind of living. If I don't 'save a buck,' the doors close and nobody pays their bills. I have not taken one dime out of this place in two and a half years. And, let's see…you're so desperate for money? Can I have Valentine's Day off? You can't pay your bills? Can I have the Thanksgiving Weekend off? You can work a full schedule and go to school? I can't work tonight…I just got home from school, and I was so upset I threw up twice…so I just need to stay home and rest.)
I treat her like crap. I mentally abuse her. (Just a few days ago, a customer called to complain that Little Cook No. 1 had gone out of her way to make a nasty remark to her. I repeatedly told the customer that I was sure she must have misinterpreted…that Cook No. 1 would never do such a thing. I stood behind my Little Cook 100%. And, as it turned out—there had been an incident, and the customer had not misinterpreted. Did I fire Cook No. 1? Did I suspend her? Did I scream and yell and call her names? No I did not (more fool, I.) Very quietly, with tears in my eyes, I told her I was disappointed beyond words, there was no punishment, and it had better NEVER happen again.)
So, out there on the sidewalk Friday afternoon, indignant tears streaming down her face, she pronounced that she COULD NOT DEAL WITH MY "SHIT" ANYMORE…
…and she quit.
I guess it will be that much easier for her to make ends meet without that $150…

- Start Early!!
- Visit Schools – even if you think your parents are annoying on campus tours.
- Buckle Down – grades matter (every year and throughout senior year!)
- Write Your Own Essay – don't tell the college what you think they want to hear. Be yourself; tell your story.
- Prepare for your Standardized Tests – every little bit helps so get comfortable with sitting for four hours straight!
- Get to Know your Teachers and Counselor – the better they know and understand you, the better your letters of recommendation will capture the essence of you!
- Get Involved – find activities you love doing and become an active participant and leader. Colleges want students who will make an impact on campus.
- Create a Well-Balanced College List – just because you think you have a chance of getting into a school doesn't mean it's the right place for you. Remember, college is more than just academics!
- Use Naviance – it's an awesome tool to understand acceptance statistics at a college, keep track of your college list, and research colleges.
- Talk about other things with your friends and family aside from college – it will help with stress management!

Baby #2 arriving November 2018! 👶🏻 We are so excited to finally let the news out. It's starting to get hard to hide, as my bump definitely growing! @hamiltonholmes and I are beyond thrilled to expand our family and give Isla a sibling. I am currently 6 months pregnant and we are keeping the gender a surprise! Sorry in advance if you get lots of pregnancy spam over the next few months. It's such a beautiful time and likely will be my last pregnancy so I am going to savor it as much as possible! _______________________________________ #babyannouncement #islassibling #6monthspregnant #pregnant #pregnancyannouncement #momlife
Gosh, @studiomcgee, I am feeling this space! How great is this bright yet cozy outdoor room? I love the hanging chair. I have been thinking about getting in for Isla's big girl room, when that happens. Happy Monday! I hope you had an awesome place like this to relax in! _______________________________________ #mondayinspiration #designinspo #outdoorfireplace #outdoorliving #smmakelifebeautiful #iwant
Celebrating 4 years of marriage with this handsome dude. 💓 @hamiltonholmes, I love you! 📷 @elizabethinlove
I kinda feel like this today.😝I want to hide under a blanket like Miss Isla. It's time to return back to work and reality after many glorious days away with friends and family. Reality bites sometimes, doesn't it? ☀ On a positive note, summer is here and that makes everything that wee bit better. I hope all you fellow Canadians enjoyed your long weekend! 🇨🇦. . . . #realitybites #longweekendvibes #returningtowork #vacationover #backtolifebacktoreality #hamont
Being unplugged is such a wonderful feeling! We are at a cottage with friends and couldn't be more content. Sometimes , you just need a break from it all. . . . #summervacation #upnorth #goswiminthelake #familytime #unplug
Isla's first ocean swim was with her dad this past January. 🌊 So many family "firsts" still happening in our lives and I couldn't be more proud or honored to be sharing them with this guy, @hamiltonholmes. Isla is one lucky lady (and I guess so am I 😊😀)❤. Happy Father's Day to everyone celebrating!

Thank you for attending the 2017 Business and Education Summit
We think it is vital to increase collaboration between the business community and education providers to improve young people's transition from schools, colleges and universities into the workplace.
The Business and Education Summit is an annual inspirational and interactive forum to explore these issues and provides the opportunity for delegates to make new connections and engage with latest best practice through expert speakers, panel debates and informative breakout sessions. The 2017 summit, which took place on July 6, looked at three key themes:
- Enterprise and education – how can schools create the business leaders of tomorrow?
- Solving the puzzle: maximising productivity through skills
- How can universities and business work together to drive economic growth?
Key speakers included Rt Hon Jeremy Corbyn MP (Labour Party Leader), Rt Hon Justine Greening MP (Education Secretary), teenage entrepreneur Ben Towers (Director, Zest the Agency) and 'women in tech' champion Kathryn Parsons (Founder and Co-CEO, Decoded), among others.
Watch what happened at last years Business and Education Summit
The 2016 BCC Business and Education Summit brought together key figures in politics, business and education to exchange ideas, sparking lasting collaborations and identifying effective policy solutions to better prepare young people for work. Speakers included; Ian Livingstone CBE (Co-founder Games Workshop), Lord Nash (Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the School System) and Alice Barnard (CEO, the Edge foundation) among others.

The Noise Next Door are a five piece improvised comedy group (Tom Houghton, Charlie Granville, Matt Grant, Tom Livingstone and Sam Pacelli), who have been performing together since 2005. They use audience suggestions to create sharp witted brilliant improvised performances, that show great intelligence and a real understanding of their genre of theatre. On Saturday night I was lucky enough to see them perform at The King's Head Theatre in Islington.
Usually I find stand-up comedy difficult to enjoy, and feel as an audience member a real pressure to be at ease with the act in order to find their material amusing. And so went into The King's Head prepared to be cynical. The theatre is a cosy space and worked well with boy's interaction style of performance.
I really loved every second of it. All five guys were hilarious and seemed to have their own strengths. Tom Houghton would sometimes pick up the guitar to provide the accompaniment for short improvised songs that were genius in their creation and projection. A particularly hilarious song of the night was the umpa-lumpa dance song that used the theme of murder mystery.
With The Noise Next Door the audience are crucial, anything goes, and it is that uncertainty and element of surprise that made their show so exciting to watch. The onstage dialogue between the five guys indicated the obvious chemistry, and their ability to laugh at themselves made their humour even more infectious.
