Catbert: Evil director of human resources Catbert: Your boss says you have a bad attitude. Dilbert: That's because my project is a flailing corpse of misery, and my boss donated his brain to a gum museum. If I had a good attitude in this situation, it would be a sign of a mental imbalance. My bad attitude is proof that I am thinking clearly. Are you going to compliment me on my clarity or demand I be irrational? CatBert: I'm putting you in charge of the employee morale festival. Dilbert: I have a sudden urge to grab you by the tail and beat myself to death. Catbert: That's how I know I won the meeting.

Phalaenopsis amabilis (L.) Blume var. grandiflora
Frost-tender, epiphytic orchid with semi-pendant, oval leaves, to 50cm long, and pendant racemes of numerous white flowers, to 10cm across, with yellow-margined lips and red throat markings, from autumn to spring. To 30cm. Grandiflora has larger flowers and the base of the labellum is stained with golden yellow. The leaves tend to be broader and paler than the type. [RHSE, Hortus, Pridgeon, Blombery, Jennings].
Horticultural & Botanical History
Phalaenopsis amabilis, the largest flowered species in the genus, is the parent of most modern hybrids. 'This very rare and beautiful epiphyte flowered a few weeks since in the Epiphyte House of Messrs. Rollinsons of Tooting, I believe for the first time in Europe. It had been sent to them from Manilla by Mr. Cumming.' [BR f.34/1838]. John Lindley commented in The Gardeners Chronicle that Phalaenopsis grandiflora 'was not supposed to be a distinct species from the well known P. amabilis, but was regarded merely as a fine variety. Upon a comparison of it with the Manilla species, it proves, however, to possess so many points of difference that no doubt can be entertained of its being really distinct.' [GC p.39/1848]. Phalaenopsis grandiflora was introduced to Britain in 1847 from Java. [JD]. 'It is a native of Java, and said to have been introduced to Europe by Messrs. Veitch and Sons, of the Nurseries, Exeter and Chelsea. Our figure is taken from a fine flowering specimen in the Royal Gardens of Kew.' [BM t.5184/1860]. MB p.49/1840. FS p.85/1845.
History at Camden Park
This plant first appeared as a hand written entry in a copy of the 1850 catalogue held at the Mitchell Library. This copy bears William Macarthur's signature. It was incorrectly placed in the 1857 edition among the trees and shrubs [T.745/1857]. Macarthur requested Phalaenopsis amabilis from Loddiges' nursery on 1st February, 1849, the first record, although it was probably not received at this time [MP A2933-1, p.185]. At least one plant of Phalaenopsis was obtained from the Sydney Botanic Garden on 17th October 1853 [RBGS AB]. It may well have been P. grandiflora.
Phalaenopsis amabilis is often stated as having been recorded from Australia. Such plants are probably Phalaenopsis rosenstromii F.M.Bailey, synonym Phalaenopsis amabilis var. rosenstromii (F.M.Bailey) Nicholls from northern Queensland, a rare and endangered species. [Jones]. This is unlikely to be Macarthur's plant.

Garcia: Somebody Has To Do It; Pathetic That It Has To Be Us
At 4:20 PM this Wednesday (December 1), acclaimed Grateful Dead filmmaker and Everything Must Go director Len Dell'Amico will be releasing a rare clip of Jerry Garcia in 1988 concerning the future state of our environment.
Dell-Amico was nice enough to let Reality Catcher readers have an advance peek at the clip (see above).
"I became friends with Garcia in 1980 and 1981 during the production and especially the editing of Dead Ahead, the classic concert film shot at Radio City in New York," Dell'Amico said.
"He sent me a board tape in the summer of '84, and this is when I first heard the Weir-Barlow tune 'Throwing Stones.' What a great and original song, and how amazing was it that a big popular band like the Dead would take on such a serious subject as the destruction of the environment.
"A live version of the song was included in the next full-length video I produced for the Dead, which came out in 1987 and was called So Far. A little-known factoid: Garcia actually co-directed So Far with me," Dell'Amico said.
"So Far went on to become the best-selling concert video of 1988 and it won the American Film Institute's award for best full-length music film of that year.
"Also in 1988, Grateful Dead decided to give a benefit concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC to help save the rainforest. They asked me to create visuals that would directly address rainforest destruction, to show on the live reinforcement screens hanging above the stage while they played Drums/Space/Throwing Stones," Dell'Amico said.
"While prepping for that, I met Randy Hayes of Rainforest Action Network and other eggheads and activists who would be the beneficiaries of the concert, and this is how I first learned about climate change in a serious way," Dell'Amico said.
"It blew my mind.
"Members of the Dead gave a press conference at the U.N. to announce the benefit and to talk about the trouble ahead and raise awareness of ecological issues.
"Ever since then, I have been very focused on the issue of climate change, and I've been able to stay involved through my work with a private family foundation that was started by my father-in-law in the 1990," Dell'Amico said.
"Meanwhile, I had been dreaming about making my own 'story' film since I can remember -- I went to NYU film school -- and when I finally had the time and the means to do it, it was clear to me that my film should be about climate change," Dell'Amico said. "But far from being serious, the movie is darkly comic and the story is entertaining because I felt that would be the best way to get the message across.
"The film is called Everything Must Go," Dell'Amico said.
"Garcia's insightful statement at the U.N. press conference never left my mind over all those years -- he was a very smart guy, on top of all his other accomplishments. Of all the problems we face, climate change is such a huge and unknowable threat that it must be seen as a priority. If the earth becomes unlivable for us humans, we certainly can't work on any of our other problems.
I hope you enjoy the film, and I'd love to hear your comments," Dell'Amico said.

Outlaws We Remain: The Guitar Army Fights On
Years and years ago when I was a young man, my sister gave me a 1972 book called Guitar Army by a political activist named John Sinclair, a Detroit dude I idolized who got sentenced to 10 years in prison for two joints.
Sinclair, who managed the seminal rock band the MC5, also founded the far-left, anti-racist White Panther Party, which sought to change the world by uniting rock and roll music -- which John called a weapon of cultural revolution -- with politics.
John Lennon gave a Concert To Free John Sinclair and he ended up getting out after a couple years.
Well, anyway -- things are coming full circle.
My boyhood idol, John Sinclair, has now quoted me in an article he wrote Nov. 10 for the Detroit Metro Times. I just found it this morning, and I was thrilled.
Here's the quote:
The White House also is spending about $239 million this year to fund local drug-trafficking task forces, Steve Elliott adds at newsjunkiepost.com, "which in the real world, usually means local cops dressing up like Rambo and tramping through the woods in a wasteful, quixotic and doomed attempt to stop the burgeoning marijuana industry."

Hey, Kitsap: Here's How You Can Help Get Marijuana Legalized
Attention, Kitsap County, Washington residents: If you're tired of your tax money being wasted on a failed and senseless war on marijuana, you can do something about it.
Marijuana legalization supporters Sensible Washington are organizing in the county, and they tell me that they've divided Kitsap up into 8 districts.
"We still need organizers and volunteers for North Kitsap and Silverdale/Central Kitsap," Sensible Washington's Mary Clare Kersten, who is coordinating efforts in Kitsap County, told Reality Catcher.
"We're organizing volunteers who will help us get signatures on petitions, raise money (we have a great plan to host house parties that have come to be known as the 'Roll Your Own Burrito Parties') and get endorsements from local politicians, sheriffs, etc.," Mary Clare said.
"We have a dynamic team of organizers, and if there's anyone out there who wants to either volunteer or function on the 'organizer' level with us, please ask them to call me at 206-962-0230," Kersten said.
Volunteer training meetings will be happening around the county, according to Kersten.
"We're also looking for businesses to host our petitions and our volunteer/supporter sign-up sheets," she said.
You can volunteer at SensibleWashington.org.
"Even if you don't want to volunteer, please sign up anyway so that we continue to build our base," Mary Clare said. "The sheet number of names is extremely important as we continue to pressure Olympia for its support of legalization."

Let's Fire Boss Hauge As Kitsap County D.A.
|Writer/activist Greg Jablonski
Kitsap County has had two high profile medical marijuana cases in the past year prosecuted by D.A. Russell Hauge.
In one case, Bruce Olsen was acquitted by a jury of 12 of his peers. In September of last year, Robert Dalton was not so lucky, being found guilty by Judge Anna M. Laurie. She reasoned that he was not a qualifying patient and could take opiate-based painkillers instead, even though Dalton stated that opiates made him sick.
It is unconscionable that Judge Laurie ignored a medical doctor's opinion and declared by her verdict that she knew medicine and treatment better than a doctor and his patient.
While D.A. Hauge's blunders are not confined to medical marijuana cases, he is an equal-opportunity scumbag.
Travis Groves had a run-in with Hauge last year after calling in a burglary to his home. Instead of investigating said burglary, the police ran Groves' name through a criminal database and found him to be a felon and arrested him for his wife's guns.
Groves recalled thinking, "Someone broke into my house, and I'm the one going to jail for my wife's guns."
Groves was indeed a felon. He pleaded guilty in 1990, when he was 18, to breaking into a Shelton-area school. He served nine days in jail, did several hundred hours of community service, and was on probation for two years, his wife Rebecca said. But nothing in his paperwork from Mason County Superior Court warns him he was not to possess firearms, he claims.
Groves did receive a letter from the Department of Corrections that said he could not own guns, but he believed the so-called "firearms notice" covered only the time he was on probation for the burglaries.
While Hauge could have plea bargained out this 20 year long law-abiding citizen, he decided to waste our money on a show trial. And while Hauge did get his conviction of Groves, he petitioned the judge to release him on time served. This is just one of many examples of the waste in the D.A.'s office.
With our economy in a shambles and our state and county running enormous deficits, why are our elected leaders wasting taxpayer's money prosecuting and incarcerating people that should be left alone?
Renegade judges and prosecutors who choose to go against the public's will should be recalled and removed from office.
Judge Anna M. Laurie and Prosecutor Russ Hauge must be shown the door.
Let's put some responsible people in their place who reflect the public's will.
While Anna Laurie's term isn't up until 2012, we all can do something about Boss Hauge right now.
Lets all vote him out of office!
Vote for Bruce Danielson for Kitsap County D.A.

The Darling Buds Of May Meet The Ecstasy Of Being
|I got to spend some time with my great-nephew Bronner in Alabama.
He's a chip off the old block.
I got to spend it in Alabama where I grew up, with my mom and sisters, and nothing is better than spending happy times with family and friends.
But, as editor of Toke of the Town, Village Voice Media's site of cannabis news, views, rumor and humor, I had work to do, man.
What that came to mean, since my mom's house out in the country (in the Burnout community, where I grew up -- yes, folks, it's true, I really grew up in a place called Burnout) doesn't have internet, was that early each morning, around 6 a.m., I'd drive eight miles into Red Bay and use the most reliable wi-fi in town at Subway.
(Side note: Don't ever count on McDonalds for wi-fi in Red Bay, Alabama. It might work at first, but then you'll be disappointed as it goes out for no apparent reason, sometimes for days. You can no more depend upon it than upon Fox News, which, incidentally, they keep blaring in the restaurant's dining area at top volume, all the time. Not exactly appetizing!)
What a great experience Subway was, though! Not only did they have my kind of breakfast food (anything featuring sausage and eggs) and their Internet connection rocked, they were also some of the friendliest people you'd ever want to meet.
|This is one of the stories I wrote sitting there in the
Red Bay, Alabama Subway during the month of May.
|Here's my branch office in Red Bay. Photo: msmudcat2001
And let me tell you, every morning of that great month in Alabama, I'd drive into Red Bay having absolutely no idea what I was going to be writing about that day. I'd check all my sources, pick my material, and have five or six stories up by lunch. That was just as fulfilling and exciting as hell, in itself.
But add to that the fact that Toke of the Town got almost half a million pageviews that month, and I'd say my little experiment making Subway my office five days a week worked out just fine. Cannabis has been very good to me.
For a nostalgic kick just to top everything off, Subway is across the street from the First United Methodist Church in Red Bay, the church I attended my entire childhood and youth with Mom and Dad. That's where I got christened as a baby, baptized as a young man, and joined the church.
In my almost 30 years in the journalism business, there have been a lot of highs (of every kind) and a few lows, too.
May, as a month, was one of those high points. Not only was I writing material with which I was emotionally and professionally engaged -- stories which I felt to be important -- but that writing reached a large and, evidently, appreciative audience.
Time keeps on slippin'. Summer's lease hath all too short a date. Good times and bad keep passing on by, and the kaleidoscope keeps turning.
But those fleeting, thrilling times when everything is hitting on all cylinders, when intent and karma and the universe all dance perfectly together in a scintillating swirl of synchronicity, when the ecstasy of being peeks through all the cracks of everyday life -- well, those are the times that make it all worthwhile.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
~ William Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

Washington Patients Now Have Better Access To Medical Marijuana
|Photo: World of Work
Washington's newest improvement on the medical marijuana program expands the number of health care providers who are legally allowed to recommend medical marijuana to patients, according to its sponsor, state Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles (D-Seattle).
Until now, only medical doctors could legally authorize patients to use cannabis medicinally in Washington State. Senate Bill 5798, Kohl-Welles, now extends the ability to authorize the medical use of marijuana to other licensed health professionals who are authorized to prescribe controlled substances.
Professionals who may now authorize medical marijuana use include naturopathic doctors, advanced registered nurse practitioners, physician assistants and osteopathic physician assistants.
"Many patients rely on medical professionals other the MDs and ODs," Kohl-Welles said. "To remain committed to Washington voters' long commitment to medical marijuana for qualifying patients, we must allow additional medical professionals to recommend medical marijuana."
|Photo: Senate Democrats WA
|State Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles sponsored SB 5798, which expands the number of healthcare professionals who can authorize medical marijuana
"This bill will provide real relief to those who are suffering, particularly those who live in rural areas and low-income individuals who typically see advanced nurse practitioners rather than MDs," Kohl-Welles said.
"Providing this relief honors the will of the voters who overwhelmingly approved the medical marijuana initiative in 1998," Kohl-Welles said. "It will not make marijuana more readily available to non-qualifying individuals."
"Allowing responsible health care professionals to also recommend medical marijuana -- a substance far safer and less addictive than many Schedule II opiates -- simply makes sense," said legislative analyst Robert J. Capecchi of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP).
"Furthermore, many patients, especially those in rural areas, have limited access to physicians, so they receive their health care from other professionals, such as advanced practice registered nurses," Capecchi said. "With this important change, access to a physician will no longer be a prerequisite to obtaining a medical marijuana recommendation."
"It is always a good day when legislators and executives listen to logic and reason and pass sensible marijuana policy," Capecchi said.
"Kudos for this new law can be directed at bill sponsor Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, and the 85 dues-paying members of the Cannabis Defense Coalition, who worked to promote this low-profile legislation," said CDC spokesman Ben Livingston.
You can read the entire text of SB 5798 as it was signed into law by Gov. Gregoire here (PDF).

Travelocity Sucks And Has Horrible Customer Service
Date: Sun, 02 May 2010 16:36:04 -0700
To: Joel Frey
Subject: Hi Joel, it's alapoet from Twitter
Hello Joel,
I have, today, had the worst customer service experience of my life, thanks to Travelocity.
Last December, I bought a round-trip ticket from Travelocity, and then was hospitalized for emergency surgery and was unable to make the first leg of the trip.
I continued to receive updates (on Feb. 11, Feb. 25, March 9, and March 21) on my apparently still valid round-trip ticket. The most recent itinerary update was received just a few weeks ago for the return trip portion, which was supposed to happen today.
As my flight was to leave at 7:05 a.m., we had to get up at 4 a.m. After driving 50 miles to the airport and trying to check in, THEN I find out that my ticket had, in fact, been cancelled in December when I missed the first part of the round trip due to emergency surgery.
I was never notified that my ticket had been cancelled -- and, in fact, I continued to receive itinerary updates on a regular basis FOR THIS TICKET.
Any reasonable person would conclude, based on these itinerary updates FROM TRAVELOCITY, that I still had a valid ticket.
That was not the case. The airline agents, and then the Travelocity agents (who were very challenged in their English and almost impossible to understand) were singularly unhelpful, just quoting "policy" to me over and over and NEVER addressing the fact that Travelocity sent my itinerary updates for this ticket, WHICH DID NOT MENTION IT WAS CANCELLED.
I have been a Travelocity customer for 13 years now, since 1997. Due to today's events, I will never, ever use your company again.
Further, I intend to tell everyone I know about your abysmally bad customer service.
I intend to use the platforms available to me to spread the word far and wide about your MISLEADING emails sent to me, updating an itinerary for a ticket THAT HAD BEEN CANCELLED FOR MONTHS.
Unhappy customer? You bet!
Am I also one who is (unfortunately for your company) able to spread the word far and wide?
Steve Elliott

Hey, Tea Bagger! Government Can't Do Anything Right, Eh? Well, Read This
This was written by an anonymous someone at Something Awful and was reproduced a few months ago on Reddit. Here's the whole wonderful thing:
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility.
After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture-inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issed by the Federal Reserve Bank.
On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log on to the Internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how "SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD" because "the government can't do anything right."
Yes, Virginia. Tea Bagger = Dumb Ass.

Washington: Marijuana Legalization Gaining Momentum
By Steve Elliott at Toke of the Town
"It's an idea whose time has come," said Douglas Hiatt, co-author of Initiative 1068, which would legalize marijuana in Washington State.
"It's an idea whose time has come," said Douglas Hiatt, co-author of Initiative 1068, which would legalize marijuana in Washington State.
And now it's time for voters to take matters into their own hands, according to Hiatt. "This year, one in six legislators sponsored marijuana reform legislation," the activist attorney said Tuesday at a press conference on the steps of the Capitol Building in Olympia.
"And again this year, major reform did not get out of committee," Hiatt said. "So we formed Sensible Washington and wrote an initiative that removes the criminal and civil penalties for adults."
Every poll taken shows that if I-1068 gets on the ballot, it will win. Washington voters support sensible marijuana laws.
Tuesday's press conference detailed a wide and diverse array of endorsements, from former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper to Republican legislator Toby Nixon.

|Douglas Hiatt: "It's time to change the law"
Six bills were introduced in Washington this legislative session regarding marijuana legalization, decriminalization, and strengthening medical marijuana provisions.
The legalization bill, HB 2401, had a fiscal note prepared by the Office of Financial Management detailing millions in prosecution costs, not including local police enforcement. The same fiscal note suggested revenue of $300 million would be created by legalizing and taxing cannabis.
Nationally, the Obama Administration, through Attorney General Eric Holder, has told federal prosecutors to stand down on medical marijuana "because we don't want a war on our citizens."
According to Sensible Washington, ending marijuana prohibition is comparable to ending the prohibition on alcohol. Washington was the 25th state to ratify the 21st Amendment, on Oct. 3, 1933.
Seventy-seven years later, we've had four Presidents who admitted marijuana use, along with dozens of Olympic athletes, thousands of artists, and millions of ordinary people -- all of whom are considered criminals under current law.
"It's time to change the law," Hiatt said.

An Angus Reid poll conducted Dec. 3-4 showed that 68 percent of Americans believe the "War On Drugs" is a failure. Nationally, 53 percent support legalization.
In Washington, Survey USA's poll for KING-TV showed support for marijuana legalization is even stronger: 56 percent of respondents said legalizing cannabis is a good idea. Outside Seattle, there is strong support even in Eastern Washington, traditionally considered the "conservative" end of the state, with a majority, 52 percent, supporting pot legalization.
"Washington citizens have embraced common-sense, pragmatic reform, time and again," said Sensible Washington's Cindi Laws, "leading an unwilling government in numerous progressive reforms, from public power to public disclosure of campaign finance, increases in the minimum wage, reduction in toxics and nuclear waste, to legalization of abortion, medical marijuana, and the control of one's own death."
Volunteers are gathering signatures to qualify for November's ballot. The magnitude of the effort is huge. A single volunteer signature gatherer can get about 20 signatures an hour, on a good day, on an issue with broad public support.
Marijuana legalization has that broad support, but to gather the 300,000 or so signatures required to qualify for the ballot takes many hours, much coordination, and plenty of help. Campaign support and coordination of volunteers takes money.
Supporters can help get Initiative 1068 onto the ballot in November, first by signing it (here are locations where you can sign), and then by donating at:

The conference 'Law, Islam and Anthropology', jointly convened by the Department 'Law & Anthropology' of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, RIMO and GAIR, brings together the disciplines of law, anthropology and Islamic studies, with all of their multiple entanglements. Conference papers address field observation, as well as methods and theories that provide insights into norms that are often given Islamic justification. The discussion will range from the traditional domain of family-related regulations regarding commercial transactions to the perception of ethical norms in daily life. Questions such as actor-driven social distinctions and cross-societal processes of interpreting and applying Islamic texts and tradition will be emphasized. The diverse perspectives represented at the conference will help identify the manifold perceptions of 'law', 'anthropology' and 'Islam' and enrich our understandings of them.

What Is SizeGenetics?
SizeGenetics is a penis extender that promises to help you increase your penis size by up to 8.7 inches. According to their website, it is the most powerful penis enlargement device that you can find in the market. This may be quite a bold claim and the question is, will there be enough proof to substantiate this statement?
They say women love a bigger and longer penis size, and that may be true for all intents and purposes. However, let us also not forget that even men would do anything just to achieve their desired penis size. Why? Simply because they always want to experience better sex and give that kind of pleasure to their partners as well.
Who Makes SizeGenetics?
This device is from DanaMedic ApS, a company from Denmark. They operate internationally, specializing in penis traction devices like SizeGenetics. Their listed address is:
Maglebjergvej 4. DK-2800, Lyngby, Denmark
For US customers, you may contact their customer support number at +44 (0)115 769 0209. There is also a number provided especially for UK customers. For emails, the address is firstname.lastname@example.com. They have a LiveChat support feature on their website as well. The chat section immediately pops up at the lower right corner of their website's homepage.
Who Is SizeGenetics For?
SizeGenetics can help men who would like to extend or increase the size of their penis without going through painful methods, operations, and surgical procedures. It can also be used by those who have Peyronie's disease, which basically is a condition of having a curved penis. This was actually the initial specification of this product.
The device is for men who are:
- circumcised
- not circumcised
- at least 18 years old
- as old as 70 years old
- with a penis size of at least 2 inches or longer when erect
How Does SizeGenetics Work?
The working methodology of this device is based on age-old traction methods that different people in many countries traditionally use to enlarge various body parts. The application of a constant traction force makes it possible for the penis to extend its length, hardness, and thickness.
Imagine stretching a balloon. As a result, it becomes flexible and more able to hold or contain additional air. This is the same principle that the manufacturer uses for this device. SizeGenetics is proudly medical type 1 certified and with a European CE Health stamp. This basically means that it is legally, clinically and medically approved, and backed by science.
How To Use SizeGenetics?
Upon arrival, your SizeGenetics kit will come with a DVD that contains an instructional video that will explain the correct usage of this device. The first step is to fit or place your manhood in the base ring, followed by the elongated bars. There should be a headpiece where you will need to thrust or slide your penis head.
After pulling the comfort straps bands, you may adjust the device and the straps to make sure that the fit is of the right size and comfortable enough. Wearing the device for at least 3 hours a day is ideal, with 6 hours as the maximum duration. It's recommended to wear it for a few hours per day at first if it's your first time. This should give you and your penis an ample time to adjust with the device.
Another good thing about this product is that you can still be discreet while wearing it. People won't know that you have an extender attached to your penis. You can wear it under your boxer shorts and trousers as long as those are loose-fitting.
SizeGenetics Side Effects
Compared to drugs and male enhancement products that require oral intake, SizeGenetics is safer and with almost no side effects at all. The product was manufactured with the consumers' safety and comfort in mind. That's why it has been a popular penis extender over the years.
If there are occasional cases of side effects reported, those are only minor discomforts that are usually experienced by first-time users. The discomfort is bearable and should go away after a few hours or within the first few days of using the device.
Ensuring that you follow all instructions provided will minimize the risk of any pain and discomfort. You may also get a medical opinion from a healthcare provider if you wish.
SizeGenetics Reviews
You can see several positive SizeGenetics reviews on the internet, and those are definitely convincing enough. Some reviews even include their before and after photos. You will also notice how a lot of men took the time to review the device in a very detailed manner.
This goes to show that they really intended to try the product and they were satisfied with the results that they got from it. The actual photos could really convince anyone to try this extender and will give high hopes when it comes to increasing penis size.
Where To Buy SizeGenetics?
SizeGenetics is only available online through their official website. While some consumers may find this a downside, a lot of other customers are actually happy that they don't have to drop by an actual store and buy this kind of product. For some men, it's quite embarrassing to go inside a brick-and-mortar shop to shop for a penis extender.
With online ordering and delivery, they can buy the extender without worrying about the possibility of bumping into someone you know. The statement on your credit card bill will not show what you have actually purchased, and the delivery will come in a brown box that contains no insinuation of the item inside.
Another good thing about this manufacturer and brand is their generous double money-back guarantee. This gives you more confidence to buy and try this product.
Does SizeGenetics Really Work Or Is It A Scam?
A lot of devices and supplements nowadays claim to be efficient and cost-friendly when it comes to penis enlargement. Sadly, more than half of those claims are purely advertising strategies. This is definitely not the case with SizeGenetics.
This penis extender is highly recommended and endorsed by several doctors, making it a viable solution to your penis size predicament. Give it a try today and see for yourself.

I've been feeling pretty good for a while now. The lows didn't get to me, but today, I feel it piercing through me like old times. The insecurities that egged the tears growing up and in my teens- especially in my early college years are here again. It's causing my heart to beat twice faster. It's heartbreaking with no actual proof. And it just really hurts to be in a place where you're questioning your self worth to yourself, and to the people you care for. You think, do they care for you in the same way. Do they secretly hate you? Is there really something about you that is lovable? It's all in the grey area during the lows even if those questions have had multiple confirmations already. And once I hit my lowest of lows, all those things would've left the grey area, plunging down on the blackened heart. And what can you do about depression that hits you like a tsunami. It ebbs and flows without your consent. There's no way of reassuring yourself because it is yourself that you are helplessly battling. It's all very tiring and confusing. It's almost so tiring for me that quitting looking good at the moment.

text: Thoughts on "Student Stalker" December 09, 2014 I am a "buyer" not a shopper and I love going to the Mall because it is so efficient. I enter through Neiman Marcus, buying nothing unless it is a special occasion when I buy some jewelry for my honey. I stop by the Walking Store for shoes, the Apple Store for gadgets, the Gap for t-shirts, Macy's for Levi's and get a snack at Burger King, while passing up all the other restaurants in the food court. In and out within about 30 minutes. And all pretty anonymously. Even if I buy a necklace at Neiman's, I don't give them permission to follow me around the mall and see that I prefer shoe styles and prices at the Walking Store. It's nobody's business that I just prefer to buy jeans at Macy's and t-shirts at the Gap. These are style/price judgments I make and they are nobody's business but my own. If Neiman's want to figure out how to sell more shoes, they should send a secret shopper to the Walking Store and figure out the style/price equation. If McDonald's wants my burger business, try buying a few at Burger King. The answer is pretty obvious. Realistically, however, I have no delusions that my shopping preferences are completely private. In an effort to increase profit margins, many retailers sell my purchase information to data aggregators who, in turn, repackage the information for resale. The retailers did not ask for my consent. If they did, I would withhold it. They just do it. Legal? Probably. Ethical? Very debatable. In a world where major identity theft stories make the headlines almost weekly, this buying and selling of personal information exposes consumers to far more risk than they know or ever consented to. So, a kid coming out of high school applies to 10 colleges and universities during his senior year. By the time he is halfway through his first semester at college, he has 9 colleges and one high school tracking his whereabouts using the "Student Tracker" service provided by National Student Clearinghouse. At the time he was applying, I seriously doubt the student was knowingly giving consent to have his whereabouts tracked by anybody. And if there was such "consent" language in the application, is the student really in a position to negotiate that language the way a business might negotiate language in a contract? I don't think so. Every institution Credentials works with is serious about student privacy. FERPA is followed religiously in every Records Office I have encountered. And yet while student data is provided to the Clearinghouse for the legitimate purpose of student loan reporting, it is passed along with a knowing wink and a nod that the Clearinghouse is going to make that same information available for data mining purpose….at a price***. What's wrong with this picture? Students are at a vulnerable stage in their lives. They can be pretty ignorant about how they are compromising their own privacy through social media. That is why they need adults to keep an eye out for their best interests. After their parents, I think their educators are next in line to protect their best interests. And if that is true, how is it justifiable that their "protectors" are simultaneously stalking these young people? What is to be gained? Legal? Maybe. Ethical? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Let's rethink this one. If institutions want to figure out why students are choosing to attend a competing institution, try going "old school". Send a few secret shoppers over to the competition to try out the cheeseburgers in their cafeteria. *** NSC advertises its services as "free". However, their fee structure is such that the institution must use a package of services that yield significant income from students and businesses in order to receive "Student Tracker" free of charge.

Sacopee Sweethearts
Over the summer I trekked to Maine to photograph cousin Eddie's senior photos. His girlfriend, McKenzie, tagged along, and the two posed for a few shots together.
We started at our family Camp on Pequawket Lake when the light was stunning...
...and drove around town the next day.
Eddie is the proud owner of this beautiful silver Mustang, and of course, we had to incorporate it in some shots.
Love the candids!
Congratulations, Eddie & Kenzie! I'll see you at graduation.

Motherwell Football Club Community Trust recognises the importance of charities and community groups around the UK, as well as the positive impact that the Trust can have to help generate revenues for these causes. However, the Trust typically receives over 300 requests for match day bucket collections each year, and whilst we would love to support every worthwhile cause, this is not possible due to the incredible volume of requests received on a daily basis. Priority will be given to charities which have not had a bucket collection in season 2018/19.
We are asking registered charities to apply for an opportunity to fundraise before games.
The Trust will not accommodate requests from organisations which are not charities registered with OSCR or third parties raising funds on behalf of registered charities. All requests must come from the charity itself using the online application.

Chard & ricotta pie, how to grow chard + survey Q&A's
Pie #2: Chard and ricotta pie
This is a mid-week meal, inspired by you guys and the total abundance of chard coming out of our garden right now (and it turns out we really like "pie" – see Pie #1: Leftover Skillet Pie). It's grain-free, vegetarian, adaptable with the seasons and most of the ingredients are available year-round. A good, easy family meal or mid-week meal with leftovers!
We first made this when we were harvesting an abundance of chard as we read through all (there were seriously so many – thank you!) of your survey responses. There were a whole lot of requests for more mid-week, vegetarian meals, cooked straight from the garden. So the timing couldn't have been more perfect!
And we also share with you the basics on how to grow your very own chard in this post! Because the experience of growing what you cook and eat is really amazing. There is nothing like it. And we want you all to experience that.
P.S. You guys said so many awesome things and we want to let you know that we have heard you and we will be making changes, so we can get you all of the information you want!
In the meantime, here are some your most burning FAQ's answered...

DUBLIN, Mar 01, 2017 /PRNewswire/ —
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Strategic Focus Mapping – 2017-2020 – Global Top 5 Civil Helicopter Manufacturers – Airbus Helicopters, Bell Helicopter, Leonardo-Finmeccanica, Russian Helicopters, Sikorsky" report to their offering.
The Global Civil Helicopter market continues to face significant headwinds with 2016 proving to be another of very difficult years for the industry as of late with global civil helicopter deliveries declining by 15% year on year in 2016 & significant pressure on order intake with continued difficulties in the offshore oil & gas sector which is impacted by the ongoing slump in oil prices & overcapacity.
The European players, which have traditionally dominated the civil helicopter segment, have been able to further consolidate their grip on the civil market by increasing their market shares further in 2016 with a better focused & aligned product portfolio mix & strategy for markets; as reflected by Airbus Helicopters' further consolidation of market share in North America.
However, Bell's two key civil helicopter programs, namely, 505 Jet Ranger X, which entered service in late 2016 and the 525 Relentless, slated for EIS in 2017, are likely to give a significant fillip to Bell's civil helicopter business & deliveries in 2017 while providing a serious challenge to European hegemony in the civil helicopter segment.
Key Topics Covered:
- Strategic Focus & Priorities – For all 5 Industry OEMs producing Civil Helicopters
- Key Strategies, Plans & Initiatives – For the Top 5 Civil Helicopter Manufacturers

On Thursday 19 June the Kempen Fire Brigade organised a large-scale water transport drill in cooperation with the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre and JRC-IRMM, which saw various fire brigades establish a 3.5 kilometre water transport along the Bocholt-Herentals canal as rapidly as possible. The aim was to pump 4,000 litres of water per minute out of the canal.
In the event of major incidents, it is important to be able to transport large amounts of water over long distances. These large-scale water transports demand a great deal of expertise of the fire brigade and also require close collaboration between the various brigades. For instance, large-scale water transport demands the linking of different rescue pumps to propel the water. The drill includes both technical actions and a test of the communication lines.
About 40 fire fighters from the Mol, Balen, Geel, Grobbendonk, Herentals, Herenthout and Westerlo brigades took part in the drill. They worked closely with the fire department of SCK•CEN and the Institute for Reference materials and Measurements (JRC-IRMM) in Geel.
The location along the Bocholt-Herentals canal, where the SCK•CEN recently built two quays for the fire services, was a deliberate choice. These quays allow large quantities of water to be pumped up quickly and safely. The canal passes through the Mol and Dessel nuclear sites and is surrounded by an extensive wooded area. Moreover, the large-scale water transport and testing of the special fire service quays offer a perfect fit for the stress tests to which nuclear companies and institutes are subjected.
The objective of the drill was achieved. Within the targeted time 4,000 litres of water a minute was pumped up and transported over a distance of 3.5 km. The drill will now be further analysed and evaluated in more detail by the observers and the participating brigades.
The Belgian Nuclear Research Centre has recently invested over € 800,000 in training, infrastructure and vehicles. The most eye-catching innovation is the new emergency vehicle which came into use at the beginning of 2014. These investments allow the 21-man SCK•CEN fire brigade to carry out initial interventions independently on its site in accordance with the methods and procedures of the public service fire brigade.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
March 25, 2012 § 8 Comments
In September of 1983 I turned eleven. I was in the seventh grade. For my birthday party I wanted to take my friends to see the movie The Outsiders, which we'd probably already seen eleven or twelve times. The film directed by Francis Ford Coppola spoke to the stuff which we had not yet been exposed; serious themes of love and hatred, socio-economic distrust, death and murder to name a few. Being cast with cute teenage boys was (I think) its initial appeal.
Afterward, my parents took the dozen or so of us to Ernesto's on Clement Street (in San Francisco) for pizza. The memory of that night has not faded with time.
When we entered the restaurant a gaggle of girls with bright red eyes and puffy faces there was no doubt that what we'd experienced was powerful. We'd cried and sighed and reached for each others hands. Despite the difficult themes, we loved every minute of the entire movie; the evidence not totally clear by the sight of our tear smudged faces.
Yesterday, my grown up girlfriends and I watched as a row of fifth grade girls filled the seats in front of us in a darkened theater, all of us eagerly waiting the start of The Hunger Games.
Their arrival prompted a discussion between my friends and me regarding whether or not the movie was appropriate for their age.
I had to think about it, but my answer was a resounding, "Yes!"
Even so, today I'm still thinking about my response, which has prompted this post.
My kids are little and everyday I'm faced with the challenge about what I choose for them to see or do, to eat or say. What is allowed? What is okay?
How did my mom make her decisions? How did the parents of those kids in the movie come to the conclusion that their kids were ready?
The girls in front of us at the movie yesterday demonstrated all of the appropriate behaviors of children being faced with some pretty serious subjects like the end of our civilization, death, murder, love, power and redemption. They giggled when Katniss kissed Peeta in the cave and sighed when they watched Gayle's breaking heart.
For me, the movie didn't pack the powerful punch that the book did because it lacked Katnisses beautiful internal thoughts, which made the reading so special.
I wished I could have had a round table discussion with those fifth graders to see how they felt when it ended and I watched them carefully as my friends and I left to say our own farewells.
The kids were smiling and laughing, texting and hugging; not a puffy face in the bunch.
Children today may be more mature than they were when we were young. They may be less or more connected due to technology. Their bodies might be growing faster because of the gunk in the food they eat and they might watch more t.v. All of this might be true.
But when you are ten or eleven or twelve you are still a kid who not so long ago came into this world as gold.
The Outsiders quotes the famous Robert Frost poem entitled, "Nothing Gold Can Stay."
The girls in front of us yesterday may be a few years younger than my friends and I were the night of my eleventh birthday. They probably are more mature, but are still little girls based on the short amount of time they've spent on our Earth.
They may not have cried at the end of The Games, but I'd venture to say if they watched The Outsiders today they'd be just like my friends and I were twenty-nine years ago; wet faced from filled up hearts with day dreams of life and love to come.
Because that's what little girls are made of.
Down to Days
February 18, 2012 § 5 Comments
The past few weeks of running, including my nineteen miler, were done without audio books. I finished the last chapter of Dead Until Dark a few weeks back, while sitting in my car at Whole Foods, eating kale salad before going to pick up the kids. I knew how it was going to end, since I'd watched it play out on t.v., but even so I was sad to say, "Goodbye," to the book version of Sookie.
Yesterday I downloaded the second book in the Hunger Games series; Catching Fire. It started little ahead of where the last book finished, but I was pulled right back in and excited to see where we would go. I feel a sort of kinship with Katniss, Girl on Fire. It isn't logical, but she did get me through some of my very first long runs, while at the same time running for her own life in the games. As I've mentioned, I'll be channeling her with flaming fingernails on March 18th, so it was appropriate that she would be my choice for heroine du jour during these final weeks of training.
Those few weeks without stories made me realize that I've got to have one (or two) going at all times. I had checked out When Margaret was Young, by my favorite author Jane Hamilton, but could never figure out how to get it to import to my phone. In a way I was glad, though, because what if I didn't like it? Could Jane Hamilton be my favorite author anymore if I couldn't connect with her book? I returned it without listening, but will try to go back to it later, when I have less on my plate. I would hate to be disappointed by my book of choice at this juncture.
After my lunch date with Sookie, which turned out to be a surprisingly calm and enjoyable addition to my schedule, I decided that I needed a car read. While at the library, waiting for the girls to fill their "library purses," I hunted down the audio book for Judy Blume's Are You There God? It's Me Margaret.
I've often wondered what it was about that book that kept me so entranced as a young girl in the sixth grade, reading it for the very first time. I figured that it would be good research as I ponder the kind of books I myself want to write, and at the same time, be my companion as I eat my lunch. It probably sounds like a pretty nerdy and isolationist thing to do, but it is very hard to get quiet these days, and it's less sad than eating alone absolute silence.
As a side note, I have returned to the land of exhaustion. After writing about Sweet Sleep, where I felt recovered from the overwhelming tiredness that had been plaguing me, it took one night of a past eight p.m. bedtime to fall back into the realm of six p.m. crashing and burning.
I wonder if it's this point of marathon training and part of recovery? Maybe I'm coming down with something?
With only twenty-nine days until the race, my most important goal is to stay healthy. Peach called me yesterday with another cold and cough, my girls have been blowing their own little noses, and I watched a coughing boy at pre-school wipe his hand down the entire banister as he descended the stairs, surely on his way to the doctor. Germs are everywhere!
It is my biggest fear that I'll get sick within days of the race and be unable to compete. That scenario has occurred two other times in my racing history. There's nothing worse than being ill with a deep lung cough and cold at the same time that hundreds of people are running your race.
Fear aside, books in place, continued rest, one more big run, and quiet car lunches are on the menu until tapering begins.
Tapering. The final stage of this journey. I can barely believe it's almost here.
Girl On Fire Nails
February 9, 2012 § 2 Comments
I was talking to Sophie about painting my nails bright pink with red flames for the race, as an homage to Katniss (Girl on Fire) from the Hunger Games; both as inspiration to keep me going and as a "thank you" for helping me through so many long runs.
These are much prettier than what I imagined…. love them!
Our Valentine edition continues – today we wanted to try a nail art design that wasn't all about flowers and heart, but something that can be done in any colour and still look great all year around. The gobstopper nail, or the layered ruffian is our latest favourite. This design looks great ombred so we used a v-day palette to go with our theme.
Step 1: After applying a base coat, paint nail with Sally Hansen – Presto Pink. This colour is a perfect pop of pink to begin our look that won't get lost with the addition of different shades.
Step 2: Using American Apparel – Angeline, a deeper hot pink, paint a ruffian design over your base colour. Start at the far side of the nail and try to drag the polish in one swift motion to the opposite side – this helps create a perfectly curved line. We used the…

Two Plus Ten Plus Three

I've just returned from my first fifteen miler. It was a beautifully cold morning, the temperature only reaching thirty-five (even an hour later), as I sit here to type.
I bundled properly with my thick Target base layer, my trusty black Define Jacket, with a Lululemon wind breaking vest over top. My LLL Dash Tights have become my long run pant of choice, but due to the cold, I layered them with a pair of Speed Shorts and Running Skirts knee-high compression socks. Not a fan of running commando, I tested out my new hot pink Under Armour boy short underpants. The only part of me that was not layered was the space between my thighs and my knees.
Yesterday I signed up for audible.com, which is a site that charges a monthly fee for audiobooks. How happy I was to download The Hunger Games for a mere seven dollars. How happy I was that this book, like my last choice, is the story of a heroine. Girl power. My favorite kind.
I was tempted to name this post The Pee Pee Games, since my effort to hydrate this morning left me with a bladder that was full and uncomfortable after a mile. As I saw it, I had three options; find a bush, pee in my pants, or run back home. It was too cold to drop trou and if I peed my pants it would probably feel warm and nice for a second, but surely freeze within minutes making for an unhappy remaining thirteen miles. As I circled home, clearly the best option, I was lucky that the monsters were upstairs. I snuck in quiet as a mouse.
I literally had to peel off my pants to pee and my skin was both frozen and burning. The sting only lasted for a minute before I stopped worrying about it and focused on the warmth of the heat being pushed through the vent in the bathroom floor.
Pants pulled up, I was back on the road in one minute.
The next ten miles I spent transfixed by The Hunger Games and was reminded me what I love about books; story telling, picture painting, suspense, character development, all conjured through words. I love words. I love stringing them together and seeing what results. I think I'd like to meet the author of this adventure. I think I'd like her in real life.
My goal to run negative splits was like a dark cloud over my shoulder. I started slowly enough, but as happens around seven miles, I started feeling really strong and so I sped up more than I should. I told myself, "I can keep up the 12 point something pace," but as I'd hit hills or a stomach cramp, would realize that I should have held back until a little later in the game.
The stomach cramps. I had three. They were more like bubbles that appeared out of nowhere and only subsided when I'd stop short, bend forward, watch my shoes for a few seconds and breathe. Maybe chinese noodles for dinner don't really count as good carb loading before a big run?
My last three miles were happy ones. I was almost finished and my route home was familiar. I wanted to finish strong and I pushed so hard on my last half mile that my heart was beating out of my chest.
"Come on Martha! You can do this Martha! Negative splits! Negative splits! Finish strong Martha!" I was chanting to myself under my breath. Somehow repeating my name pushed me on. Miraculously, I finished my last mile a block away from home where I took a picture of the Garmin.
I can't even imagine what I'll be saying to myself as I near 26.2.
There may be no words, but there will certainly be tears.
Husband in Training
January 13, 2012 § 5 Comments
Grace shuffled in at 1 a.m. with her footsie pajamas trailing behind her and her underpants around her ankles.
"Mom," she said, "the pee won't come out."
I followed her into the bathroom where I watched her scoot atop the potty. She was so far forward that her little tush wasn't over the hole, making it impossible to go. I pushed her farther back, but there was still no sound.
I whispered, "Listen," as I turned on the faucet. Voila', she peed!
As I snuggled her back into bed I thought about potty training. Her first night out of diapers she wet the bed, but immediately realized she'd had enough of that funny business. Every night after that she would wake me to tell me she had to go. Only recently has she started the night-time ritual on her own. Her sister took a bit longer to get trained and the plastic sheet stayed on her bed a few more weeks, but overall, potty training my kids was easy.
From potty training to marathon training, I began to think about my upcoming fifteen mile run on Saturday and how it won't be bearable without an audiobook. I've visited iTunes a hundred times and have settled on The Hunger Games, but it's $26.00 price tag has made it difficult for my finger to press download.
The younger Martha would have had no problem pushing that button, listening to it once and then sending it to the trash to save room in my iPod. The younger and very single Martha used to go grocery shopping with no qualms about the price of milk or yogurt or ice cream or chicken. The married Martha has gotten used to questioning the cost of the little things.
I have been wife trained without even knowing it!
After almost seven years of marriage, Brian's frugality and deep held belief that we have much more than we need, was not something that I accepted had rubbed off onto me at all.
As Grace began to doze, her breathing soft and deep, I pondered what influence I've had on my dear husband. As I sit here and write, I still remain uncertain. What deep held beliefs of mine has he adopted? If I can't think of any, does it mean that he doesn't really love me? Does it mean that I picked wrong?
Maybe it's not that complicated.
Maybe husband training is simply like potty training in boys; they take a lot longer, but eventually get it, which makes mommy's life much easier. You just have to trust it will happen and try not to give up.

Recently, WILK Newsradio host Steve Corbett attacked me on his radio program and WILK's Facebook page because of my comments regarding Rev. Brewster of Mount Zion Baptist Church. I recently saw Corbett at a public education rally and was dismissed once again. Corbett didn't want to have a conversation in-person and never bothered to invite me on his show although he was quite happy to attack me on-air and on WILK's Facebook page even though I was vindicated after Rev. Brewster's town-hall meeting that he has promised was cancelled on two occasions.
Steve Corbett (pictured above), a self-professed liberal even though he endorsed McCain/Palin in the previous presidential election after Hilary lost her bid for the Democratic nominee for president, is a local newsradio host on WILK Newsradio -- a primarily conservative radio station which features the national figures of Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh -- who recently attacked me on air dismissing me as a "professional atheist" and, on the WILK Newsradio Facebook page, used the phrases "self-absorbed sense of self-importance," "childish need for instant gratification," "get over yourself," and "grow up" addressing my comments concerning the grandstanding of a local preacher and the false hope he is giving to people of this community following the shooting death of a local 14-year-old boy. This was quite, on my estimation, unprofessional and rude [for a radio show host to say something like this to one of his listeners and frequent callers].
Yesterday, when I attended a public education rally, I saw Corbett and was utterly dismissed once again. I approached Corbett and, after introducing myself, told him that I was quite disappointed with his recent reaction to me. He replied, in quite a stern voice, saying, "I'm trying to listen to this" (referring to listening to a speaker at the rally). I stood next to him for about ten seconds, walked away, and saw, after I returned to where I had been standing, him walking away from where he was standing and speaking with other people (namely politicians in the audience). Apparently, once again, Corbett doesn't want to have a conversation and just wants to be dismissive.
When speaking with a friend about this issue, she noted something I really didn't think about at first. It is quite rude, she noted, for a radio show host to see one of his listeners at a public event and not have even a quick discussion. There was no "I'll talk to you after the rally" or "I'll talk to you after this speaker," but rather flat-out dismissal.
I find it quite interesting that Corbett -- a person who presents his radio show as an open forum for discussion of all sorts of ideas from all sorts of callers who are encouraged to call in -- is so dismissive in-person and on his radio show. To make matters even worse for Corbett -- considering he was so upset about what I had to say about the vapid words and grandstanding of Rev. Brewster (I'll get more into this later) -- he never even bothered to have me on his show despite my open nature and his possession (or quick googling of) my e-mail address.
I had noted, in my comments about Rev. Brewster that Corbett became so angry about, that Rev. Brewster was grandstanding in the name of his faith. I was recently even more vindicated on this matter. Rev. Brewster pledged to have a town hall meeting on Wednesday of last week to address violence in NEPA following the death of Tyler Winstead. The Wednesday meeting was cancelled and was delayed until Friday...and the Friday meeting never happened. I didn't see one media report on the meeting, a time or location was never announced, and Rev. Brewster has said nothing about it in local press [and he's been quite active there].
A recent article in The Times-Tribune noted:
As he promised during his Easter service, the Rev. Brewster said he was commissioning a town-hall meeting with city officials in the wake of Tyler's death to seek concrete solutions to the area's problems and not just rhetoric. He said he expected the same interest and attendance when it comes time to sit down and address the region's most pressing problems.As we can now see quite clearly, Rev. Brewster's words were just rhetoric; he hasn't delivered on his promises of "concrete solutions to the area's problems" despite pledging to have a town hall meeting on specific dates. It seems that Rev. Brewster, as I said earlier this week, is just a grandstander. Steve Corbett was so angry when I had said that...and I was right. We still, though, need earthly solutions to our earthly problems.
