A caller, "John," who represents 4chan, told Michael Savage on Thursday afternoon, that they did make up the fictional salacious story about Donald Trump that was reported by both BuzzFeed and CNN.
John claims Rick Wilson was attacking his site and calling them out on Fox News, and that they were feeding Wilson the fan-fiction. They knew he was friends with Evan McMillin, a policy staffer and former CIA operative.
John claims trolled journalists fabricated that story and about golden showers, and graphic claims of sexual acts with prostitutes that were documented by the Russians.
The CIA and the majority of the U.S. media ran with unverifiable so called intelligence briefing featuring allegations that the Kremlin has been "cultivating, supporting and assisting" President-elect Donald Trump for at least five years by Vladmir Putin and Russia to become president.
Despite widespread rebuttals to 4chan's claim, the caller, "John," maintained that the "golden showers" Ritz-Carlton scene in the 35-page dossier allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer was "fan-fiction" concocted by a 4Chan member on Nov. 1 in an attempt, ultimately, to discredit the left, WND reports.
"We expected some garbage outfit like BuzzFeed to pick it up, or maybe the New York Times. We didn't expect government entities to take interest in our fan-fiction," John told Savage.
Critics argue 4chan has offered no proof and point out the Trump story was circulating long before Nov. 1.
4chan's claim is that the phony story was sent to veteran Republican strategist Rick Wilson, a supporter of the presidential campaign of former CIA officer Evan McMullin, who then put it in the hands of the CIA.
The Nov. 1 post on 4chan said: "So they took what I told Rick Wilson and added a Russian spy angle to it. They still believe it. Guys, they're truly [expletive] desperate — there's no remaining Trump scandal that's credible."
Wilson has vehemently denied the 4chan claim, both on Twitter and Medium.
"If you believe the Russian/4chan spin that this information came from them, you can't use a calendar, or common sense. This information on Trump's various personal and business dealings in Russia was being pursued by major campaigns and by major media to my knowledge as early as late July of 2015, and the 'Ritz Carlton' information was out in the summer of 2016," he said in a Medium post.
"The allegations I 'took the memo to the CIA' (or caused others to do the same) are utterly, entirely, and profoundly false and risible."
Mother Jones published a story Oct. 31, the day before the anonymous post on 4chan, reporting the information had been given to the FBI. The New York Times reported details about the memos began circulating in the fall.
'Invisible war'
John, who said he voted for Trump, explained to Savage the motivation for putting out "fan-fiction" is "there's an invisible war between the left and the right," noting the report of Hillary Clinton supporters being hired to disrupt Trump rallies.
He described the contributors to 4Chan as a "bunch of guys in their mid-20s to mid-30s getting drunk in the middle of the night and posting crazy stuff."
He said the "golden showers" fiction, of Trump having prostitutes urinate on a hotel bed in which Obama slept in Moscow, started out with made-up stories of Trump defiling effigies of Obama.
He believes McMullin, who ran against Trump as an independent candidate, was part of the chain of information.
"So we were feeding Rick Wilson … what we call fan-fiction, and he's posting picture of himself with Evan McMullin … and, if you listen to their narrative, it's like a former intelligence officer handed the information to John McCain," John told Savage.
He said McMullin was "heavily involved in MI6," the British counterpart of the CIA.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has declared he handed the information to the FBI, and the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday the writer of the dossier was Christopher Steele, a former MI6 officer.
The Times reported the anti-Trump report was compiled by the research firm Fusion GPS.
A Republican anti-Trump donor put up the money to hire the firm, the Times said, which contracted Steele to dig up dirt.
Fusion GPS was the firm hired by Planned Parenthood to analyze the undercover videos that caught executives discussing the sale of the parts of aborted babies. It made the dubious conclusion that pro-life investigators had "manipulated" the videos without offering any solid evidence.
Wednesday, in his first news conference since the election, Trump excoriated BuzzFeed and CNN for reporting the dossier, which he ridiculed as fake news.
Trump said the report "should never have been written and never have been released."

The Ethnic Plots of Bioethics
Bioethics of the ethnos has meanings that reflect the history and culture of a particular people. At the same time, the ethnos in its existence realizes the general bioethical principles and norms that integrate into ethnic bioethics. The ratio of these modifications of bioethics can ensure the self-preserving behavior of the ethnos and help maintain the genetic diversity of mankind.
The assessment and standards in modern bioethics cannot be exactly the same for all countries and peoples; they must match the ethnic age of this particular ethnic group. Thus, scientifically-invariant biomedical ethics always functionally acts as a cultural reflection of the national model of medicine. On the other hand, the normative bioethical regulation allows adapting the National standards of medicine as a cultural complex to international requirements. The article shows the options for the ethical support of various ethnic parameters in medicine.
Key words: bioethics, ethnos, ethnic time, ethnic diseases, personalized medicine, ethnomedicine.

THIS CRAFT ACTIVITY IS A DANGER TO YOUR CHILDRENMarch 03, 2013
I HAD cake this week, two in fact, both of them home made One of them had birthday candles, which I duly blew out. Now, had I been...
6 comments
hate to say...it's our local council, too, with the cake policy! (watch the pointy edges on the loo roll snake, there) ;)sarahReplyDelete
aww this is adorable! I'll need to pass it onto my Mam for the kids at her nursery!ReplyDelete
Hannah xx
It is crazy isn't it! I am a kindergarten teacher, and know who difficult it is at the best of times to get and keep families engaged in your program. The new restrictions will make it even less so. We use a "fake cake" for blowing out the candles, but if a child does bring their own cake (getting rarer and rare) I put the candles into the real deal! I attended some training on Sat about Anaphyalaxis - it seems the next thing to be banned will be egg cartons and any packing that has housed products that may have traces of nuts and milk and egg. Looks like that will be the end of recycled box collage and pasting as we know it!ReplyDelete

It is very sad that our children are missing out on these experiences, I know that we need to protect our children with allergies but do we need to go that far and have every child miss out. Not fair! Anyway I love your snake, I will try this with my youngest. Surely there are no traces of peanut on toilet rolls are there. Ha Ha. H xReplyDelete
go the dunny roll craft!ReplyDelete
I had a different experience this week where I (the parent of the anaphylactic to eggs and peanuts child) asked the preschool to retract their broadcast email and not deny other children the right to bring a boiled egg/egg sandwich/egg products for lunch just because MY daughter is the allergic one. I am totally for the 'No Nuts Policy' in our schools/preschools however as a parent I need to cater alternate options for my allergic child when these celebrations occur in the school environment, and at 3 years of age she is very aware of what she can/can't eat due to her allergies (I think she kind of likes the fact she gets a Freddo when they have cake - she is not so keen on cake anyway). I am also the mother of a non-allergic, non-eczema, non-asthma child who enjoys baking and thoroughly enjoy the process of taking baked items for her to share with her friends at primary school. I understand both sides of this dilemma and although I want my allergic child to be kept medically safe in the school environment where does it stop?? Cool snake...ReplyDelete

(Note that these are not my videos, but videos that I found)
The swinging volley is a very aggressive shot where you are hitting the ball out of the air with a normal groundstroke. Players commonly use this shot to capitalize on high-floating returns. The benefits that you can reap from using the swinging volley is cutting time away from your opponent. Being able to hit this shot will ,without a doubt, give you an offensive advantage over your opponent.
However, why can't you just put the high-floating ball away with a volley? Of course you can, and that is up to you. If you think that hitting a volley will surely put the ball away and is a safer route, then go for it. Though, the potent upside of the swinging volley compared to the regular punch volley is that it is much easier to put the ball away due to the high pace you would be imparting on the ball since you are practically hitting a groundstroke.
Also, being able to hit a swinging volley is an indicator of good technique; it demonstrates that you are able to drive through the ball well. In fact, practicing swinging volleys is commonly used for developing groundstroke technique and power.
The swinging volley is definitely a specialty shot that should be a part of your arsenal. Being able to hit the shot will give you more confidence in your offensive game and you will find yourself being able to absolutely dominate the high balls that pushers often hit to you. Although the swinging volley is a great tool and is flashy, it should be used wisely. If you can certainly put the ball away with a volley then do that instead. If you are confident enough that you can hit the swinging volley, then by all means do it, for it is a message to your opponent that floating balls back is not the answer to winning against you.
Employ the swinging volley today and notice a notable improvement in your offensive game. Hope you found this information helpful and feel free to ask any questions regarding your game!

"I always loved drawing, but it was only when I fell into design that I felt a click," says 35-year-old Brazilian Fernando Jorge, who worked for a handful of local jewelry brands before moving to London to pursue a master's at Central Saint Martins. "I knew I had to shake things up, and I could only do that by leaving Brazil and putting myself in a different context." His degree collection was picked up by CoutureLab, a Mayfair boutique that specializes in one-of-a-kind designs. Grange Hall, in Dallas, and Matches Fashion, in London, soon followed suit, and, in 2013, Jorge was selected by the British Fashion Council for the Rock Vault designer showcase, an initiative curated by one of the U.K.'s best-known jewelers, Stephen Webster, to highlight the work of England's top young talents. "If you are going to be a serious designer, you need a voice and you need authenticity," says Jorge, who has become an insider's favorite, known for his fluid, sculptural pieces featuring Brazilian stones. All the women on this shoot, including his model, the needlepoint designer and girl-about-town Petra Palumbo, own his jewelry. Says Jorge, "I want to take the clichés of Brazilian sensuality and sexuality and translate them into something elegant and organic."

It's easy to get caught thinking that Mylyn only provides access to traditional issue trackers like Bugzilla and Jira. It also features integration with Gerrit.
This screenshot shows the Planning perspective being used to work directly with Gerrit reviews.
You can manipulate the review directly from within Eclipse, browse changes, fetch a patch set (and clone the source repository if necessary), cherry pick, abandon, and more.
Naturally, it also includes the standard sort of great Mylyn support like the ability to schedule when you're going to do the work and the task focused UI.

The Uxbridge Public Library has had the honour of serving residents of Uxbridge since 1887. In fact, we will be celebrating a milestone in 2012 ~ our 125th anniversary!
A variety of events have been planned for next year's celebration including a gala fundraiser, The Book Lover's Ball and Benefit at Wooden Sticks Golf Course on Saturday, April 14th, 2012. We are hoping that over 150 literary-minded guests will come together and show their support for the Library.
This black tie event will be an evening to remember, including hors d'oeuvres, three-course dinner with wine, and dancing with live music performed by Hot Air – a local big band with
17 members. Guests will also have the opportunity to bid on fabulous prizes in a silent auction, in support of the Library's expansion fund.
The Uxbridge Public Library, including our Zephyr Branch, are information resources, committed to fostering literacy and promoting life long learning throughout our community. Over 33% of Uxbridge residents are active Library cardholders and borrowed over 170,000 items last year. In addition, approximately 5,000 children and adults in our community attended over 230 Library programs!
The popularity of the Library, combined with recent budget cuts, an old but historical building, technological advances and the evolving needs of our patrons, means the demands on our Library system continue to grow year by year. To assist the Library in meeting increasingly diverse needs, we are in need of additional funding to help protect, enhance and expand important library materials, programs and services.
Supporting your public library is a unique and powerful way to support your community. The information enclosed describes opportunities for your company to use its marketing and community investment dollars to help make a real difference in the community that will not go unnoticed. You will be supporting one of the most important institutions in our town, helping ensure Uxbridge remains a very vibrant place to live.

Robot Review: October 21, 2018
Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire was released last year as one of the titles at The VOID – a 3D virtual reality experience where you walk through and interact with the story's environment.
Recently we visited their store at the Glendale Galleria Mall in Glendale, CA to check it out.
Here We Go!
First you'll suit up in a hefty vest and helmet. Each helmet has a microphone so your team can communicate and the VR visor flips down to cover your eyes.
After watching an introductory video, you move into the Staging Bay where your virtual reality experience begins. What was previously an 8x8ft barren walled room is now a spaceship approaching the Empire facility on Mustafar, a molton lava planet.
Your mission is to access the facility disguised as a squad of stormtroopers. We won't give away much about the details of the experience, but here's a few highlights…
You will feel the heat of the burning lava around you.
You will feel afraid of falling off the edge of a platform.
You will frantically try to solve puzzles while ducking enemy fire.
You will probably get shot by a stormtrooper's laser – it won't kill you, but you will feel it in your vest.
The Robot Cast has some well-known faces from the Star Wars films:
- K-2S0: From Rogue One, this Imperial-turned-Rebellion droid will guide your squad through the mission.
- MSE-6: This little Imperial service robot, nicknamed mouse droid, looks like a black lunchbox and zips around on wheels. You'll cross paths with it in a hallway, just like Han, Luke and Chewbacca did in Episode IV – A New Hope.
- Astromech Droid: This chrome R2-D2 style droid also supports your squad and appears at various points in your mission.
You'll see other random robots such as a Loading droid and a Control Room droid as well.
And there will be stormtroopers. Lots and lots of stormtroopers. Shooting at you. From all directions.
By the time you get home, you'll receive your Wanted poster via email with a link to view your mission statistics.
But Wait There's More!
The VOID also has a Ghostbusters experience and a fantasy-haunting Chicago World's Fair experience called Nicodemus: Demon of Evanishment.
Robots-in-Film favorite Wreck-It Ralph is coming soon at The VOID. And because of a recent partnership with Lucasfilm and Disney, future experiences will include additional Animation and Marvel film themes.

WD regains hard drive market lead
The manufacturer produced 71 million HDD units in the second quarter; it made $4.8 billion in revenue for the period
Western Digital has regained the pole position in the hard drive segment, after losing it six months ago because of the Thai flooding.
WD took the lead in Q2, from arch-rival Seagate. The manufacturer produced 71 million HDD units in Q2 and included production from Hitachi GST, which WD acquired earlier in the year. WD's revenue amounted to $4.8 billion. Seagate produced 65.9 million hard disk units in the same period, with revenue reaching $4.5 billion.
"Western Digital lost its No. 1 unit shipment ranking to Seagate in the fourth quarter of 2012 after flooding in Thailand damaged its HDD manufacturing facility," said Fang Zhang, analyst for storage systems at IHS.
"The company now has fully recovered from the disaster, allowing it to sharply increase shipments of HDDs for notebook PCs, up 28 percent from the first quarter. Western Digital is on track to retain the top spot in shipments and revenue for the third quarter."
Total HDD shipments in Q2 totalled 157 million units, an increase of eight percent from 145.1 million in the first quarter. WD had the biggest shipment share at nearly 45 percent followed by rival Seagate at 42 percent. Toshiba ended up with 13 percent of the market. Total revenue for Q2 was $10.3 billion compared to $9.6 billion in Q1.

Title: Cardinal of the Kremlin
Author: Tom Clancy
Clancy, Tom (1988). Cardinal of the Kremlin. New York: Putnam
Date Updated: November 6, 2015
This book is Tom Clancy writing at his best. He has not gone overboard with his ultra-rightist politic al philosophy, and has written a great story, one that conceivably could have happened. The characters, dialog, and action are top-grade Clancy. He fully scores with taut political intrigue and suspenseful military action. Clancy leaves out nothing. The scope and detail that Clancy worked into this novel is mind boggling. He sets up a huge number of variables and then works through to the conclusion of every one of those variables.
The Cardinal of the Kremlin is author Tom Clancy's fourth novel, and the third about Jack Ryan and his friends and colleagues. Clancy has a number of future stories in mind as he writes, for he sets up future books as he writes this one. In later books there are many references to the Cardinal.
The Cardinal of the Kremlin is so large in its scope and detail that it is difficult to summarize the plot here. Dr. Jack Ryan drives this novel, first and foremost. He is, of course, the well known lead character from The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games. As the novel begins, we find that Dr. Ryan is still working as an analyst for the CIA's DDI, Deputy Director of Intelligence. He's presently trying to work up a paper based the current negotiations between the United States and the USSR on ICBMs.
We're then taken to the "Archer" who is an Afghanistan resistance fighter and part of the Mujahideen. Owing to what the Soviets have done to him and his family, he has no love lost for them. They even captured his son and took him to the Soviet Union for "reeducation," hence his intense desire to fight and kill as many Soviets as he can.
From there we're introduced to the "Cardinal" of the Kremlin, Misha Filitov who is a Colonel in the Soviet Army and a three time Hero of the Soviet Union from his days as a tank commander in the Great War. Hinted at in previous Clancy novels, this Colonel has been disillusioned by the way of life in the Soviet Union that has caused the death of his wife and his son, hence his having been turned by American agents. In his present position with the Defense Ministry, he has been passing Soviets secrets to the Americans for thirty years.
The story unfolds in a credible way, and the ending is not obvious at any point in the book, although the experienced intelligence buff may glean what is likely to happen. It's a book I keep and enjoy reading, as I do all of Clancy's books, although I wish he would not be so in your face about his ultra-conservative political views.

Home blood pressure monitors, which provide a better snapshot of your average blood pressure level than office measurements, are available for purchase in drugstores or online. Some insurance plans may cover the cost of these devices. Expect to pay between $20 and $60, though some are more expensive. Since the accuracy of these devices can vary, have your doctor check yours by comparing its readings with those of his or her in-office device. Then, ask your doctor to check it yearly. When you shop, here's what to look for:
An automatic model. Automated digital blood pressure monitors are more accurate and easier to use than manual devices that require the user to squeeze a rubber bulb to inflate the cuff. All you need to do is wrap the cuff around your upper arm and press a button to inflate it. The monitor takes your blood pressure and displays the result. Digital devices also have a memory feature for tracking your readings. Some monitors can send readings to your computer or smartphone.
An arm cuff. Arm-cuff models are usually more accurate than wrist-cuff models. If you choose a wrist cuff, be sure to have it checked for accuracy at your doctor's office. Some people who are obese may not be able to properly wrap an arm cuff around their upper arm and may have to use a wrist cuff.
A good fit. Be sure the cuff fits around your upper arm; cuffs come in different sizes. Use the cuff's markings that indicate proper fit. A too-large or too-tight cuff will result in an inaccurate reading.
A seal of approval. Check to see whether the device has been clinically validated using protocols established by one of these organizations: the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, the British Hypertension Society, or the European Hypertension Society. A validated monitor means that the model has gone through a series of tests to confirm its accuracy. A universal standard is currently under development and expected to eventually replace existing protocols.

The following day saw us visiting the Malaysian Taiwan Friendship and Trade Center which is quite a large organization. Its size indicates the importance of its function. We were briefed on its role in maintaining the cordial symbiotic relationship between Malaysia and Taiwan. This Center focuses on four areas, namely, Socio-politics, Trade, Investment and Tourism. There are more than ten thousand Malaysian students in Taiwan. The Taiwan government also sponsors annually, the costs of medical treatment for ten Malaysian children with congenital heart disease at the Taiwan Medical University Hospital. Malaysia is Taiwan's eighth largest trading partner with US16.63 billion in trade while Taiwan has invested US11.6 billion in Malaysia. Since the year 2000, there have been 900 participants in the MM2H program and there is a healthy flow of tourists from Taiwan to Malaysia, as denoted by last year's figures of 285 thousand. Malaysian tourists to Taiwan are also a significant number.

Photos: San Antonio artists let loose while opening cool new work space inside converted church
Members of San Antonio's artistic community have found a unique new work space inside an old church.
The Parish was revealed to the public at a grand opening on Friday, featuring music, tours, complimentary catering and an open bar.
Click through the slideshow above to view photos of the event.
The structure was built in 1911 as a two-story home and was converted into a Mexican Lutheran Church 40 years later. After that it was revamped into a clinic, and then sat empty for years before current owner John Hernden purchased it.
Recently, a group of creatives rented the building, which sits at 1624 Buena Vista Street, partnered with Hernden and transformed it into an artistic space called The Parish.
The first floor includes twelve private studios with coworking spaces in between. Photographers, videographers, fashion designers, special effects workers, makeup artists, vloggers, body painters, graphic designers, digital effects artists, painters, and sculptors work on that floor, which even includes a full salon.
The second story was converted into a multi-use space which can be rented out to the public for events, galleries, shots, and more.
Twenty-five artists have been using the building for several months, working on the first floor during renovations.
RELATED: Cat, Pop Culture and Art Convention coming to Central Texas
The Parish Arts Complex founder Zach Smith started looking for a space about a year ago, but he didn't find the old church until early 2018.
"I came across this building and the owner John Hernden was really quick to jump at the opportunity of helping creatives and supporting the art community," Smith said. "When I came along, it was sort of a perfect match."
He began renovating immediately after solidifying the lease.
The project has been so successful that Hernden opened a sister studio down the street, Brownstone studios. About a dozen artists work in the 12-studio space, Smith said, but The Parish is "more the hub."

The latest article is now up at Brooks Foreign Policy Review, here.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), founded 42 years ago, was created to provide a framework to advance regional stability in Southeast Asia at a time when the withdrawal of colonial powers had created a vacuum. This placed the newly independent states of the region in danger of succumbing to ethnic strife and communist insurgencies. Since the conclusion of the Cold War, ASEAN has embarked on a series of free trade initiatives, linking it to some of the Asian-Pacific regions most dynamic economies.
–U.S.-Taiwan Free Trade Agreement Roundtable – R.O.C. the Boat did an excellent analysis of a prospective U.S.-Taiwan Free Trade Agreement (TUFTA). A lot of it comes down to, do the benefits outweigh the negative impact on U.S.- China relations. Remember he has a strong pro-Taiwan bias, so take it with a grain of salt. Here are some excellent factoids:
Taiwan has experienced an average annual growth in GDP of 7.8 % over the past half century, and currently engages in foreign trade to the tune of $437 billion U.S. dollars and is the second largest holder of Foreign Exchange Reserves in the world ($266 billion).
Taiwan produces 72% of the world's laptops, 79% of PDAs and 68% of LCD monitors. In the cover article of a May 2005 issue of Business Week, Bruce Einhorn referred to Taiwan as "the hidden center of the global economy."
In 2006, Taiwan was the United States' 9th largest trading partner, 11th largest export market, and the largest importer per capita of U.S. agricultural products. In the same year, the United States served as Taiwan's 3rd largest trading partner, second largest export market, and Taiwan's largest source of foreign direct investment. Taiwan-U.S. bilateral trade was worth $62 billion dollars last year.
–China AIDS rate slows, main transmission now sex – As I said before, HIV infection in Mainland China is very low, something like 700,000/1.3 billion, so not even close to 1%. That being said, I'm glad that the infection rate is down, but I'm guessing this is due to less transfusion and dirty needle issues. The heterosexual transmission concerns me because I question the amount of condom use in China. I realize that Mainland people are not promiscuous by Western standards, but that is rapidly changing. Social openness and migration of poor peasants to urban areas has also lead to a rise in prostitution, which is likely an major vector for transmission.
–U.S. expects full North Korean nuclear disclosure soon – Why do I not think this is going to happen? When you "buy peace" from a regime like N.Korea I do not think it is ever going to be a lasting one. This is a stopgap measure, not a solution. There is no way in the world N.Korea will reveal all their nuclear facilities and especially not their mobile all of their mobile fissile material.

Berlin Details
Status: Ghost Town
Elevation: 6,676 Feet ( 2,035 meters)
Gallery: View 43 Berlin, Nevada Photos
State: Nevada
County: View Nye County Mines
Date Settled: 1897
Current Population: Park staff
Peak Population: 250
Primary Mineral: Gold, silver
Map: View on Google Maps
Berlin History
The first mining activity in the region was in May 1863 when a small group of prospectors discovered silver in Union Canyon and the small mining camp of Union was settled. The following year the Union Mining District was formed, including the towns of Union, Ione, Grantsville, and later, Berlin.
The first assay report in Berlin Canyon was in 1869, but is was not until 1896 that the Berlin Mine was established. With the purchase of the mine and numerous surrounding mining claims by the Nevada Company in 1898, the town of Berlin was soon in its heyday until 1908, declining to its death by 1911.
With the rise of Berlin the old settlement of Union, a mile to the east, revived as its old buildings were used by the Berlin miners. During its heyday, Berlin and its Union suburbs supported 200-250 people including miners, woodcutters, charcoal makers, a doctor and nurse, a forest ranger and a prostitute.
Buildings included a 30-stamp mill, assay office, barn and corrals, union hall, store and post office, infirmary, stage station and homes. Many of the buildings still remain. Some of the residents are interred in the cemetery below the town.
The Berlin Mine was worked from an incline shaft with eight levels. The total production of its three miles of tunnels is estimated to have been $849,000 at a time when gold was $20 per ounce and silver was approximately 604 an ounce. The Berlin Mill processed the ore by crusher, stamps, amalgamation, and concentrating tables.
Today Berlin stands as a true Nevada ghost town, preserved for present and future generations. Visitors are invited to walk through the old townsite, read the numerous descriptive signs, peer into the windows and imagine life during this colorful period of Nevada's past.
About Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park
Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park was first established in 1957 to protect and display North America's most abundant concentration and largest known Ichthyosaur fossils at the time. The park also preserves the turn-of-the-20th century mining town of Berlin as well as the Diana Mine. The Ichthyosaur fossil area is a Registered Natural Landmark and the historic townsite is on the National Register of Historic Places. These national designations speak to the unique value of the resources preserved here.

My work is a dialogue between the image making process, the visual representation itself and the transformation and expression of that into vibrations and sound shared with others. It explores the continuity of the creative process. My new work continues to explore and give a voice to that which is dark, hidden, unseen, that which I call the shadows. As social beings, we learn to create new tools with the old, the broken, the discarded and dismissed, which enables us to see new possibilities with and from the shadows. Creating new opportunities with these tools results in an unleashing and transformation of potential and creativity emerging from this obscurity.
This artistic process on my part is an offering to the viewer/ audience of a different experience of art and the role of the viewer. I offer an opportunity for the viewers to experience and to be a part of the performance of creation and the ensuing conversation, to not be a passive recipient of an image but to be a part of building something new out of the old. To claim the shadows, to be able to see the creative, humanistic and developmental value of the hidden, the lost, the ugly, as these are rooted in our shared history with vibrations, energy, rhythm and impulses that are fertilizer for our becoming as individuals and as groups, communities, and societies.
Music plays an essential part in the inspiration and creation of a piece of art; it begins by me listening to music and using the process of musical improvisation that is free-spirited and without boundaries that allows the possibility to both play and express myself. I can then share this process and new ideas with fellow musicians, artists, and the viewers/audience. Early on I found the process to be healing and since then it is one I want to share. The most important thing is that it shaped me to be the person I am today. The use of different materials helps the whole thing become a therapeutic process for myself and others, and I take a lot of pleasure in this process, this is what I pictured 20 years ago, and it has inspired me to be an artist ever since.

Dedicated to women who read this, and had drag themselves back into their essence.
Everything that I write on this blog, is about surviving after many years of multiple mental and physical violence mainly from men. I write of surviving when I was invisible. I write of surviving despite the desire to die.
I write as someone who had to find their own way out. There was little, or let's be brutally honest no help.
For I, like so many women who survive the sex trade, fall through the gaps.
These gaps are there because we have built a society that stereotype what it is to be prostituted, what it is to be a stripper, what it is to be in porn. It put into a box – any woman who break the mold cannot exist.
There is too much place on whether women take drugs or not.
Drugs become an answer, not just a small part of what makes that woman.
It is easy to assume that women becomes prostituted or strippers to feed a drug habit. That is neat and simple.
It is harder to know that drugs came after she was in the sex trade. That drugs are not an addiction, but a way to deaden the pain and terror of being in the sex trade.
That she may have been forced to be on drugs by pimps/managers to make her more pliable for sexual violence in porn or prostitution.
And that a great many women in the sex trade do not take illegal drugs – but those women are made invisible.
I was abused as a child, but I have never thought or believed there was a simple connection between incest and being prostituted.
Not when so many women in the sex trade were not abused as children, and have the violence done to them dismissed.
There is a connection between childhood abuse and entering the sex trade, but it highly complex and often surrounded by many factors.
I know, that part of my abuse as a child was being shown hard-core porn, being left alone in Soho at night, hearing talk of the fun of prostitution, being shown to accept that sex had to be with violence. I was taught from a young age, that I had no personal boundaries.
I was taught I was toy for any man to fuck.
Yes, that is childhood abuse. But it felt like belonging at the time.
I want the complexity to heard and seen.
Do not just say "Incest is the boot camp of prostitution", without listening to the words of exited women first.
Hear women who not abuse as children, who may of had happiness in their childhood.
Hear their pain, hear their anger, and hear their utter confusion.
They were highly damaged by the sex trade and god that does count.
Often prostitution appears to count when it is connected to poverty.
I was never poor – I was desperate, I was full of extreme self-hate, I was looking for something I would never find – but I never did for the money.
Christ, I got so little money for what I had to do. I often threw away the money in self-disgust.
Even today, memory of that money makes me want to die.
I want the women who did not need the money to count.
See the way they are treated. Know that it is sexual torture whether the money matters or not.
Don't throw in their faces, you don't count, you are not worthy of our assistance.
Or say as was said to –
Hell, you could have brought your way out of it. It can't have been that bad, you stayed didn't you.
Yes, I stayed.
I stayed as a battered wife stays, as cattle wander into the slaughterhouse, as kidnap victim get used to their surroundings – I stayed.
I know no other world.
I stayed, thinking all the world would hate me if they knew what dirt I was.
I stayed, knowing that as dirt I deserved any and every sexual torture I was on the receiving end of.
I stayed, because I had become a robot.
I stayed, coz exiting was terrifying.
I and millions of women stay in the sex trade for too long, and then we are blamed for not fighting to get out.
We are blamed when we exit, for not being mentally ill enough. That is how can be so bad, if we are articulate or able to build a stable life for ourselves.
We are blamed if the damage is so great, that is hard to function in our new lives. Then we are weak or mental.
We are blamed if we choose to speak out against the sex trade, we are seen as traitors or liars.
We are blamed if we choose to make our past invisible – are we ashamed of ourselves or just have we become a prude.
For the majority of women that exit the sex trade, it is a constant battle trying to fit in with our new lives.
We live with the pain, fear and confusion of our past. It does affects our day-to-day existence.
It gives us body memories, with real pain and exhaustion, but little or nothing wrong in the physical sense.
It does affect our sex lives. It hard to be natural about sex, when for most of your life it has been artificial.
Everyday, there are triggers usually dismissing our pain and experiences.
No wonder most women who have exited choose to make themselves invisible.
But those women are deep in my heart.
They are the inspiration for every word of my blog

Our second grade classes collabortated together to make this fun, loveable bulldog! He is made out of old file folders, foam left over from a STEM project and reused glitter. Students brainstormed ideas for our trash can and did research on decorating trash cans. We voted as a grade level on the favorite ideas. One was for the bulldog and the other for the words on the collar saying Glitter, Not Litter! He is out and about advocating for a clean Missouri. His sign states, "A Clean Environment isn't No "Bull"... Dawg!!! He is also proudly carrying the No More Trash logo!

Hello, friends! I'm so happy to be back with a brand new coloring page for you. This year I've decided to create pages based on my favorite words from the prophets and apostles of our day, so I thought I'd start out with my very favorite quote of all, from Thomas S. Monson:
"God left the world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity in the cloud, the oil in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gives to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He leaves the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that man might know the joys and glories of creation."
These words thrill me every time - God gives us the opportunity and power to create, because we are creative beings just as He is. And I think the greatest raw material we have is our own self. It makes it okay for us to not be perfect today - we are in partnership with God to become something beautiful each and every day.
If you have a favorite quote that you'd like me to turn into a coloring page, leave it as a comment below!
To print this page, just right click the image below to save to your computer, then print as you would a photo. Make sure you click "fit to page" so the edges don't get cut off. Have a great week!

the year's wedding crashers event at the green building in brooklyn was our very first wedding fair. it was a total blast and we will continue to network in the industry! in fact, we are thinking of getting a table at the next wedding crashers event in the fall at 501 union's new space across the street from the green building. we met a ton of awesome vendors that we hope to work with in the future. you can see some of their tables in the post below. it was so cool to be surrounded by so many creative people who are so willing to work together and cross-promote.
can't wait for the next one!
enjoy and share!
