What Is The Pink Stuff In The Shower?
Can The Pink Stuff Make Me Sick?
Ew! How Do I Get Rid Of The Pink Stuff In My Shower?
How Do I Keep The Pink Stuff From Coming Back?
If you don't have a liner but have a door on your showering area, we suggest leaving the shower door open after every use so the air can distribute evenly and dry the area out. A quick squeegee helps as well!!

Take a seat, grab a drink (probably alcoholic) and let's begin. Okay, so the arbitrarily decided upon cost per month of having a baby is $1,000/month for the first year. Since we're just talking about new parents I'll stop there. Plus, we don't have enough time or alcohol to go beyond a year right now.
Friends, we could have had one sweet ass car for that price, but we choose the family track in the game of life. If you have a spare $1,000 laying around in your monthly budget, good on ya. Take your drink, click X in the upper-right hand corner of your screen and head out to the pool, there's nothing here for you. If not, hang tight, because my 5 months of parenting have obviously made me a child-rearing financial expert.
1. Breastfeed
Dude, before we start some obnoxious mommy war, let me be clear. These are the things my husband and I are doing that help us save money. I totally get not everyone can breastfeed. There are TONS of ways to save money on formula, too. Anywho we haven't noticed an increase in our monthly food bill, my pump was free through our insurance and I haven't needed to buy more milk storage bags yet, so our net cost so far has been $0. It's great for mom, it's great for baby and ladies, you have an excuse to chill on the couch looking at Instagram like 100 times a day. Win.
2. Cloth Diapers
Again, not for everyone, but it does save money in the long run. There are some startup costs, but you can even minimize those by buying diapers on sites like clothdiapertrader.com. Start-up costs can range from $60-300+, but from birth to potty training you could save up to $2,500 using cloth diapers. It cost us about $300 to get started and we bought one-size diapers that will last until she's potty trained. Our water bill went up $0.14/month, so that hasn't been a huge factor. We also haven't needed diaper rash cream or baby powder since we started cloth. Now blow-outs either, and if you're going to be washing shit either way, at least save some money.
3. Homemade Baby Wipes
Let's all agree that wipes are one of the cheaper expenses associated with having a baby. You can buy in bulk and get coupons to save yourself some money. But, you're usually little chemical laden squares to wipe on your child's ass. My daughter got one hell of a chemical burn from Huggie's. Not cool. Making homemade wipes costs about $2/month and takes about 5 minutes. You'll save about $20/month and that adds up over time. (Unless you spend that $20 on Starbucks. Which I definitely don't do…)
4. Consignment Shops
Here's how it works: bring all the stuff you don't use anymore to a consignment shop (make sure it's in decent condition) and sell it for cash or store credit. Then use that money to buy cheaper (but still awesome) baby stuff and clothes. On our last transaction we brought in a bunch of clothes and random things and got $44, we bought her a bunch of clothes and ended up still making back $12. We were literally paid to shop. What we couldn't sell we donated to a local pregnancy shelter. Everyone wins.
5. Baby Toys/Gear
Babies come with a lot of stuff. Our small apartment looks like the baby section at Target, but our small space makes us truly consider what we buy. We aren't getting a jumperoo, a walker or an activity yard. We haven't bought her every baby toy that struck our fancy. As much as I want to spend gobs of money on my baby, we are trying to use money where it counts. Rather than buy our daughter expensive things she won't use in the span of months we take her to do fun things or save that money for something better down the road. She will literally play with anything, so I prefer to give her interesting household items to explore rather than a mountain of $40 plastic toys.

key details:
Technology: EcoBelt™ Rotating Belt Filtration for Plant Optimization
Key Advantages:
Reduce BOD by 20-40%,
TSS by 30-80%
Treat in 5% of the space
required by conventional clarification
Use less energy than other
rotating belt filters
Automated self-cleaning cuts
85% of routine maintenance
0.1-50 MGD plant-optimizing primary treatment
Increases plant capacity by reducing solids, nutrient, and BOD loading to subsequent processes
Replaces failing clarifiers with efficiency in a small footprint
Removes grease, oils, and fats using patented WaterKnife process
Case Studies:
Pocahontas, WV
Your challenge: Increasing your plant's capacity
Reduce loading to your secondary treatment processes: If your biological process is underperforming and your tertiary effluent is inconsistent as a consequence, discover how well your plant can run when half the load is removed at the front end.
Save space, time and money: Finding the real estate for another clarifier is not always an option, and even if the land is there, building one requires substantial capital expenditures.
Our technology: EcoBELT
Nexom is the exclusive source for the EcoBELT™, the simple, powerful primary treatment solution for optimizing your plant's function. The EcoBELT takes the concept of a rotating belt filter (RBF) and enhances it with energy saving features and an ease of maintenance not found on other filters.
Why do you need an EcoBELT? Before you spend millions of dollars to get marginal oxygen-transfer improvements in secondary treatment, consider what would happen if you could halve your loading at the front end. It's possible, and you won't have to turn the neighborhood baseball diamond into a clarifier farm.
Implementing an EcoBELT has been shown to:
Reduce 30-80% of the TSS and 20-40% of the BOD that finds its way into secondary treatment systems, improving the plant's ability to perform BNR
Use approximately 5% of the footprint of an equivalent clarifier
Feed your anaeroabic digester with fluid primary solids containing the highest raw energy content, or
Dewater primary solids with the optional integrated screw press for disposal at the nearest landfill.
How it works
Look inside the EcoBELT
EcoBELT™ removes solids using a continuous-loop fine mesh belt screen. As the screen moves it acts as a conveyor and carries solids out of the incoming wastewater. The patent-pending cleaning system discharges the solids from the belt screen and deposits them into the screenings hopper. Periodic hot-water flushes further clean the belt screen by removing oil and grease that may accumulate over time. An optional screw press dewaters the collected screenings to between 20-40% dry solids while screened wastewater continuously passes through the unit.
How does it save energy? Where other RBFs use a air-based belt cleaning device that must run a high-energy blower constantly; the EcoBELT's Doctor Blade is a mechanical solution taking advantage of the momentum of solids on the belt. It uses no additional energy and saves up to 80% of the system's overall energy input when compared to similar filters.
Quick question:
How long does a belt last?
Belts used in the EcoBELT are specially-designed to last twice as long as many of its competing belts. While impacted by factors including types of pretreatment in the plant configuration and belt loading, belts last 2 years on average. And though belt replacement is infrequently required, the EcoBELT is designed to make it a smooth exercise for plant operators. Nexom's team trains operators to swap out the EcoBELT belt in 30 minutes (other RBFs take 6-8 hours). Don't risk having another RBF's belt fail during peak flows; with EcoBELT you'll be back online 16x faster!
What it delivers
EcoBELT optimizes your plant with minimum energy, maintenanceThe EcoBELT™ successfully reduces TSS and cBOD5, but its purpose is greater; it exists to improve the function of the entire plant in a small footprint with a whole-lifecycle cost that is a fraction of what conventional clarification could cost.
Want to know what EcoBELT could do for your system?
Submit your RFP today and our on-staff professional engineers can help you size and design an EcoBELT™ rotating belt filtration system to optimize your plant and meet your wastewater treatment requirements.
Is a coarse screen required before the EcoBELT™?
While numerous sites have chosen to implement the EcoBELT without a preceding bar screen, to maximize the life of the belt we recommend implementing a 2" coarse screen upstream.
How does the lifecycle cost compare to clarifiers?
Although there are far too many variables that can impact such a comparison, in many cases opting for an EcoBELT can result in significant cost savings over conventional clarification.
How does the EcoBELT reduce waste and disposal?
Unlike other RBFs, which use a flapper gate through which solids exit the process (with the associated backpressure issues), the EcoBELT's patent-pending integration of a backpressure cone allows solids to exit consistently while also ensuring solids are reliably dewatered, resulting in less waste and less disposal.
How does the EcoBELT achieve maximized belt-life by using mechanical cleaning?
The EcoBELT uses the Doctor Blade as part of the cleaning process, which results in drastically reduced energy costs as compared to blower-based cleaning. Unlike the scraper blades on all other RBFs, our Doctor Blade is adjusted to a tight tolerance to lift and peel the solids off the belt without actually making contact with the belt. Meanwhile, any inherent strains imparted to the belt during operation are offset by the EcoBELT's patent-pending, engineered belt support structure pattern. The belt support not only creates the maximum open area enabling more of the belt to be used for filtration, but also mitigates the stresses that lead to failure caused by rod-support lattices.
In practice, the EcoBELT has demonstrated belt life that is equal or greater than any other RBF belt available. And no system makes it easier or faster to replace a belt, with changes taking 30 mins as opposed to the 6-8 hr process other systems require.
How does the EcoBELT achieve redundancy?
In applications where redundancy is required, multiple isolatable EcoBELT belt drives can be installed within the same unit.

I spent a lot of time with the InDesign/EPUB versions of WPAOS and got it looking pretty dang nice. Here are a few of the issues I troubleshooted:
- The Table of Contents, by far, gave me the most hassle. One of the issues was that the "Split" I inserted after the Chapter heading refused to be recognized in the EPUB; no matter what, the TOC insisted on flowing into the Copyright page. I managed jury-rig a fairly inelegant solution: adding a couple inches of space after the Copyright page ends, thus forcing the Contents heading into the right position... but only if the book is viewed at the recommended size (medium font, window sized to the dimensions of Cover Page). Another issue with the TOC was the fact that the original editors divided the contributor essays into thematic "Parts", which were not actually present anywhere in the book, and therefore would not appear in the Exported TOC. I inserted Part dividers manually (which led to a confusing Text Flow issue which Dr. B helped me resolve). My group felt it was important to make our revised EPUB version even more complete than the original-- this is one neat benefit of books moving to Digital formats, the ability to potentially revise errors without wasting money on reprints.
- I struggled a bit with the Cover page until I realized that the EPUB Export menu has an option for inserting the cover image, which makes it look optimal. I like that the EPUB opens to a correctly sized window for viewing the entire cover-- if not, the reader can use it to resize their window for optimal viewing (as recommended by me in the copyright page, replacing the bit that says "Printed on Acid-Free Paper", [lingering hegemony of print?]). We hope that wasn't illegal.
- The last issue which needed resolving was formatting the Index, which always had a few strange breaks in the exported version. We discovered that this was due to a particular Font/Paragraph style which was used for a few specific characters. This required a bit of manual editing, but was easy enough to fix.
I am quite satisfied with our final EPUB product-- I hope the original Authors/Editors/Contributors will be too.

Pelagios Commons offers several ways to get involved in the community. Participation in the Pelagios Commons is entirely free. Simply register on the website.
You can also join our announcement and discussion mailing list – it's fairly low-traffic and will keep you up to date with general Pelagios news and occasionally in-depth discussions.
If you have a specific interest, you might want to join one of the Working Groups that appeal to you. These groups consist of members of our community who are dedicated to working on particular historical periods or creating new tools, services and resources for discovering and representing historical geography. WGs also play an important role in the governance of Pelagios through its Commons Committee. They have access to funds in order to hold international workshops and create resources such as maps, datasets or software.
What you can expect from the Commons
Pelagios Commons affords all its members and interested parties a convenient forum for debate and repository of expertise and support for all levels of engagement. It actively promotes openness, sharing and collaboration, without demanding that individual members conform to the same set of ideologies, technologies or practices.
What the Commons expects of its members
The Commons is only as useful as the extent to which its members engage in it. Collegiality and integrity are its core watchwords: advice should be requested, given and received constructively, and ideally with the aim of consensus-building and enriching the knowledge-base of the Commons as a whole. Since the Commons is not intended as a place for private or confidential exchanges, communications should always be conducted in a manner suitable for a public audience. The production and use of any tools or resources should be done with due consideration of relevant laws, and the authorship and ownership of annotated materials.
The Pelagios Commons Ethos
Pelagios Commons is first and foremost a collaborative endeavour driven by the collective interests of its members. It will target support towards those activities that are of most general benefit to the community at large. This in turn will be balanced with maintaining a clear and coherent scope that articulates well with other initiatives in the Linked Open Data ecosystem. While tools and resources may be used for any legal purpose or in any context, activities explicitly supported under the aegis of Pelagios Commons are defined principally by their focus on historical places.

My super sensitive skin loves gel masks as these masks are gentle and soft to the skin and don't irritate the skin. I've been using it for almost one week. I've used the mask 5 times within this period and I use it at night before going to bed. I apply the mask according to the direction of the brand.

As I wash my face can see a fresh and clear skin. It has made my skin soft and is gradually reducing acne. It draws out impurities, absorbs excess oil, works on blemishes and gives good nourishment and hydration to the skin.
Overall, I am happy with Herbalism Soothing Gel Mask. It has given me a healthy glowing and rejuvenated skin. I strongly recommend anyone with any skin types, even the sensitive skin types to try the mask once. You can buy it from Amazon

The festive season is now well and truly upon us – a time to reflect on the events of the past year and look forward to new beginnings as we enter the next one. It's certainly been a jam-packed year of campaigning for us at CPRE, and we'd like to share with you our biggest moments of 2016 – all thanks to you!
And that's a wrap!
What you've helped us to achieve this year
Plastic bag usage down, public support up
As part of the coalition that campaigned for the plastic bag charge, it was a win-win for us when figures were released earlier this year about just how successful the scheme has been in both reducing plastic bag usage – a whopping 85% – and also in getting the backing from consumers themselves.
Starry starry night
We released the most detailed ever satellite maps of England's dark skies, which give us an unprecedented level of understanding into where light pollution is most invasive. These interactive maps show that just 22% of England is untouched by light pollution, and that 53% of our darkest skies are over National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty – another reason to protect these stunning landscapes.
Thank YOU - for a successful campaign!
A staggering 9,465 of you wrote to your MPs to challenge some of the proposed changes to the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). We're thrilled that every MP across the country was reached by letter, which expressed concern over legislation that will see councils being forced to give up land for development to meet unrealistic housing targets.
The future of farming
Our very first Farming Foresight paper, New Model Farming: Resilience through diversity, was released in August with much positive debate over the shape of farming post-Brexit. The report calls for a change in the way subsidies are allocated to encourage a more diverse sector, with environmentally friendly practices to achieve long-term sustainability for British farms – something we feel very strongly about.
Kent AONB saved
CPRE Kent won an important victory after a lengthy legal battle to save an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at Farthingloe, near Dover. Two judges at the Court of Appeal quashed the planning application that could have led to the loss of a treasured and historic beauty spot.
Pushing for brownfield development
We published important new findings on brownfield land across England. Not only did we demonstrate that brownfield land is actually being built out six months faster than greenfield, we also showed that there are enough suitable brownfield sites to provide between 1.1 and 1.4 million new homes – a big increase on the number the Government previously estimated. This powerful new evidence further bolsters our calls for national planning policies that ensure brownfield development is prioritised over greenfield development.
Going underground
We're celebrating with Friends of the Lake District, our county representatives in Cumbria, after their campaign persuaded National Grid to reconsider its plan to build 50 metre tall pylons through 24km of the Lake District National Park. The new plans could also see the existing lines being removed completely, leaving this part of the park free of pylons for the first time in 50 years.
The value of the Green Belt
Our latest research shows the huge potential of the Green Belt in terms of amenity and nature conservation. Providing a breath of fresh air for 30 million city people, we want to see adequate investment in these vital resources in the forthcoming 25-year plan for the environment and make sure Green Belt protection is enforced.
An extra special year for CPRE
90 years of campaigning
And to top things off, this year marked a huge milestone in CPRE history – our 90th birthday! On 7 December 1926, CPRE was established, originally as the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, and we have been campaigning for the protection of the countryside ever since, boasting countless momentous achievements.
Making our voice even stronger
By supporting our campaigns you've made our voice stronger which has been listened to in Parliament and helped us achieve our successes together. In the coming year, we'll need to continue fighting threats to the countryside from inappropriate development and infrastructure. You've made a real difference to our campaigns and, if you're not yet a member, do consider joining us in our fight to protect the countryside for current and future generations.
Thank you again for supporting our campaigns and helping us achieve so many successes to protect the countryside.
Wishing you a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year from everyone at CPRE!

Inciting campus-wide dialogue and protest surrounding abortion rights, the Georgetown University Lecture Fund's decision to invite Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards to speak Wednesday was met with formal opposition from several Georgetown Jesuits, Catholic officials and anti-abortion student groups.
Associate professor Fr. Stephen Fields, S.J., and visiting professor of law Fr. Ladislas Orsy, S.J., presented a proposal to introduce an anti-abortion counterview into the event, a culmination of a four-yearslong effort by the Lecture Fund to bring Richards to campus, but it was rejected by Lecture Fund at its meeting March 29.
In addition to attempts to prevent Richards from speaking or altering the format of the event, initial efforts to see the event held in Gaston Hall were met with resistance by the university, according to leaders of the Lecture Fund and Georgetown University Right to Life.
Georgetown University Right to Life President Michael Khan (COL '18) said following a meeting between Vita Saxa, the Cardinal O'Connor Conference on Life and university administrators Feb. 29, Vice President of Mission and ministry Father Kevin O'Brien, S.J., approached the Lecture Fund to express concerns about holding the event in Gaston Hall.
According to Vice Chair of Finance for the Lecture Fund Elizabeth Rich (COL '16), a co-planner and moderator of the event, the Catholic community on campus spurred the change of the event's venue to the McDonough School of Business' Lohrfink Auditorium.
"I do know that it was Fr. O'Brien who definitely brought that to their attention," Khan said.
O'Brien has not replied to a request for comment as of press time.
Khan said anti-abortion advocates' major concern with holding the event in Gaston Hall regarded the hall's extensive history and its cross and Georgetown seal, maintaining that providing the venue as a backdrop for a pro-abortion rights speaker would resemble an implicit endorsement by the university.
A Jesuit Proposal Rejected
Fields and Orsy proposed that the Lecture Fund invite an anti-abortion speaker of equal caliber to Richards to the event, such as George Mason University School of Law professor and anti-abortion advocate Helen Alvaré or anti-abortion liberal columnist Kirsten Powers.
"We thought that [the Lecture Fund] would surely be interested in a full, free exchange of ideas, so we suggested that they have someone like Helen Alvaré or Kirsten Powers come, not as a debate, but perhaps as two speakers," Fields said. "Then both of them together would field questions from everybody in the audience and that way both sides of the issue could be aired and the opinions of our students could be helpfully informed on the spot."
Fields and Orsy met in the Jesuit Residence at Wolfington Hall on March 18 with three university administrators and the 16 available members of the Lecture Fund's Associate Board to deliver the proposal.
The result of the vote — after concluding deliberations that began at the previous Lecture Fund Associate Board meeting March 22 — was clear. The board voted by a majority to keep the event as planned.
Chair of the executive board for the Lecture Fund Helen Brosnan (COL '16), who co-planned the event, said obligations grounded in the group's policy and constitution to honor previous invitations to Richards to speak unchallenged, were the major motivations behind rejecting the proposal.
According to Rich, logistical concerns also played a role in the vote's outcome.
"We were so far along in planning and the logistics of this event, it just did not seem appropriate, and the whole entire Lecture Fund board agreed that we wanted to keep the event as it was," Rich said.
Khan said logistical concerns aside, the Lecture Fund's denial of a proposal for a balanced program illustrates its lack of commitment to genuine discourse.
"To host this event, and even worse to hold this speaker unchallenged, really shows to me that the Lecture Fund is not committed to true dialogue," Khan said.
While a joint-speaker event was not realized, Vita Saxa did host anti-abortion advocate Abby Johnson — a former Planned-Parenthood-clinic-director-turned-activist — for an event in Dahlgren Chapel on Wednesday.
An Idea Long in the Making
The conversation with Richards was in development long before the Jesuit proposal in March. The idea for the event had been simmering in both Brosnan and Rich's minds since their freshman years. On their applications they had each marked Richards' name on their 'dream list' of speakers.
"This has been one of my career goals at Georgetown, to bring her, so it's been a long process," Brosnan said.
Brosnan met with the two prior presidents of the student group H*yas for Choice Laura Narefsky (COL '14) and Abigail Grace (SFS '16) over her sophomore and junior years to strategize.
According to Rich, the Lecture Fund had extended official invitations to Richards without success in past semesters.
Then, early in October 2015, Rich contacted Richards again, emailing a formal letter of invitation to Planned Parenthood's generic contact email address.
Richards' team quickly replied, requesting the Lecture Fund to follow up in January or February. Following a subsequent letter from Brosnan in December and a third from Rich in January, Richards officially accepted the invitation and the Lecture Fund began preparing for her arrival, booking large venues on campus such as Gaston Hall and notifying the university of its plans formally in mid-January.
Later, in early February, Brosnan met with numerous administrators from around campus, confirming in person that the event was scheduled and asking for their input, concerns and suggestions.
"I must have had in February — the first weeks of February alone — 10 different meetings with people from all over the university, like upper level administrators," Brosnan said.
After notifying both H*yas for choice and GU Right to Life of the plan for the event later in February, the Lecture Fund released a press statement announcing the event to the public March 3, the same day that the university issued a public statement supporting both the "free exchange of ideas" and "the sanctity and human dignity of every life at every stage."
Disagreement Off Campus
In addition to Fields and Orsy's objections to the format of the event, Richards' speech on campus was formally opposed by the Catholic Daughters of America, The Cardinal Newman Society, the Archdiocese of Washington and the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property.
Vice President of the Catholic Daughters of America Julie Reiter (NHS '17) raised strong objections during the regularly scheduled meeting of the university's Speech and Expression Committee on March 30.
At the meeting, Reiter, supported by two other students from GU Right to Life, argued under the university's Speech and Expression Policy that Richards' views could be judged "grossly obscene" and therefore be impermissible on campus, and under the university's Access to Benefits policy, that the Lecture Fund's invitation of Richards "substantially [advocated] positions inconsistent with Roman Catholic moral tradition" and should therefore halt her speech.
Assistant Dean for Student Engagement Erika Cohen Derr, who serves on the committee, said it understood the students' concerns and gave them feedback about the committee's interpretation of university policy.
Reiter said the committee informed her that her objections did not stand.
"We received an explanation in the meeting as to why our proposal did not hold ground," Reiter said. "I thought that the administrators were very thoughtful, but in the end that we agreed to disagree."
Directly following the March 3 announcement, the Archdiocese of Washington issued a statement urging the Jesuit community to better impart Catholic values on campus.
The Cardinal Newman Society, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Catholic values, also created an online petition against the event that garnered over 14,700 signatures as of April 18.
Additionally, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, a network that serves to promote Catholic ideals, demonstrated against the event at the campus gates on April 4 and on Wednesday.
Director of Student Activities for the TFP John Ritchie said in allowing Richard to come to campus, Georgetown disgraced its reputation as the oldest Catholic university in the country.
"We think it's a real shame to see Cecile Richards come to campus and disgrace the honor of the Catholic Church," Ritchie said. "I think the only circumstance that would allow Cecile Richards to come to campus would be if she came to ask for pardon for the 2.8 million babies she saw killed under her direction as president of Planned Parenthood. We're praying that Georgetown will be able to restore and recover its identity."
At least two other petitions in opposition to the event circulated, one published by Maya M. Noronha (COL '05, LAW '10) on March 7 in conjunction with GU Right to Life that gained over 230 signatures from university community members and another co-sponsored by Students for Life of America and GU Right to Life last month with over 9,800 signatures as of press time.
University Responses
On April 8, university president John J. DeGioia hosted a group of anti-abortion student leaders and activists for about an hour in his office in Healy Hall, listening to their concerns about Richards' coming speech.
Khan, who attended the meeting, said that while DeGioia seemed sympathetic to the students' concerns, no action occurred as a result of the meeting.
"He really wanted to listen, so we expressed our objections, our concerns and how we think this not only violates the mission of our school but the free speech codes," Khan said. "We got out of that [meeting] probably what we expected to, which was not much."
Rich said the Lecture Fund is surprised by the intensity of the response, which culminates in GU Right to Life's "Life Week" events from April 18 to 22. Vita Saxa's annual Life Week corresponds to Richards' visit.
"I don't think we anticipated the amount of attention that we got … [but] it has raised awareness that this conversation is happening and I think it has engaged more of campus," Rich said. "It's good to see our work is paying off."
President of H*yas for Choice Sophia Kleyman (COL '16) said she is disappointed in the university's response to the event.
"It's a little disappointing that the university or that administrators are in such strong opposition to this," Kleyman said.
A Path to Further Dialogue
Looking ahead, Hunter Estes (SFS '19), tabling co-chair for GU Right to Life, said he hopes the Lecture Fund will work with the university in the future to host a more balanced event around this debate in the coming semester.
"I would really hope that in the coming semester that the Lecture Fund and the administration can work together in a combined effort to bring two speakers of equal caliber who can equally explain and pronounce their views rationally to the community and then have a dialogue," Estes said.
Brosnan said a balanced event could be valuable to Georgetown's campus in a future semester, perhaps this coming fall.
"I would love [a balanced dialogue] and I frankly would love that among students," Brosnan said. "And I think it would be a great follow-up to this event in the fall."

7:00pm HNIC
If you had not watched a game this season, you might be surprised to hear the chatter surrounding the Leafs. They sport a 7-3 record and have scored 43 goals in their first 10 games. You would mostly expect to hear about a team seemingly taking a step forward over last year's slow start.
The talk however is about an apparent lack of defense. The Leafs have outscored their opponents so far his season but it's the way they've lost that has many questioning the team's play. The buds have not struggled to light the lamp but 3 times, the Leafs have allowed 6 goals against so the concern cannot be dismissed.
A reasonable take away from the first 10 games is that this young team certainly has some work to do on their 200 foot game but it would be folly to ignore the overall result and their ability to produce offence at will. Just ask the Montreal Canadiens.
Truth be told, Mike Babcock is probably tickled pink to have clear evidence that this team has to be better after winning 70% of their first 10 games. Overconfidence is probably a major concern as the bench boss looks at his youthful team and he couldn't ask for a more actionable script amongst a mostly good outcome. Much has been made of a shortened practice after a 6-3 loss to Carolina. Babcock was quoted as saying "Everyone know how to backcheck?" As his coaching staff collected pucks after only 20 minutes. Message sent.
Tonight's matchup against the Flyers serves as an opportunity to demonstrate that the message was received. The Flyers have had no problem scoring goals in their first 10 games and will supply the Leafs with ample opportunity to show their coach that they can win the right way.
The Leafs will play without the services of James Van Riemsdyk who is out with a lower body injury. Josh Leivo is expected to fill in. Matt Martin, who is playing some of his best hockey as a Leaf is also out so Kasperi Kapanen will draw in to replace him.
The Flyers will be without Nolan Patrick, Andrew MacDonald and Colin McDonald.

Federal agents on Tuesday arrested 13 men on federal narcotics charges, including five alleged members of a major Mexican drug cartel responsible for transporting millions of dollars and large quantities of cocaine between Chicago and Mexico.
The charges result from an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that included the accumulated seizures of more than $12.4 million in cash, approximately 250 kilogramsof cocaine and the involvement of a Chicago-based cell of the Zetas Mexican drug cartel.
Twelve men were arrested in Tuesday's city-wide raid while agents seized an additional $480,000 in cash and two kilograms of heroin, according to a statement released by federal officials. An alleged 13th member of the operation was arrested in Laredo, Tex.
Tuesday's arrests bring the total number of Chicago-area defendants in the drug trafficking case to 20. Charges range from conspiracy to possess and distribute quantities of cocaine to using a telephone to facilitate narcotics trafficking.
One indictment alleges that Eduardo Trevino, a fugitive believed to reside in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico directed a money transportation network for the Zetas that moved money from Chicago to Laredo to Mexico.
Officials also allege that the Zetas identified and maintained safe houses where drug proceeds were secretly collected, packaged and concealed at 1241 South Wenonah Ave. in Berwyn and 3800 West 24th Street on the city's West Side.

I just got the news today from my mother that someone who meant a lot to me in my youth passed away yesterday. He had already had one stroke which had debilitated him somewhat, and I guess the next one finished him.
Gerry was a singer. Not just any kind of singer, he was an operatic tenor with a rich and vibrant voice that would make anyone stop and listen. His musical exploits included a stint in the Dixie Echoes, numerous appearances in various city opera presentations, and he is even prominently mentioned on the web site of the author Anne Rice. He also taught voice, and I think his last teaching gig was at Loyola.
I knew him from the Catholic church in which I grew up (including going there for primary school), St. Thomas More in Pensacola. I'd like to lay claim to being his understudy but, in truth, it was more like we were the two tenors in the church choir so I got the position by default. I was good, yes, but not in his league by any stretch. I was once offered a full scholarship by his voice teacher and I wasn't mature enough at the time to recognize the value of that gift so I didn't follow up. I still regret that failure on my part.
Gerry had impeccable taste in music, and he helped open my eyes to the world of "real" music when the other kids my age were digging acts like KISS. It was he who instilled in me a love for composers like Rogers & Hammerstein, and for Rice/Webber rock operas. I would frequently borrow his sheet music and spend hours with it and the sound track albums, and I had every singing part memorized from pieces like Jesus Christ Superstar and Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. True confessions: one of my fondest fantasies as a teen was to land the part of Pontius Pilate in Superstar. I still consider the interplay between him and Jesus during the first interrogation scene to be one of the best musical dialogs ever written.
I attended many of Gerry's performances, and he was the reason that a kid of my age was going to see Pirates of Penzance, Faust, Don Giovanni, and the like. I assign him full credit for the richness of my musical upbringing.
Rest in peace, Gerry. You are remembered with love.

I sized and printed the image using Adobe Photoshop Elements onto Cryogen paper with my inkjet printer. Copics used:
Giraffes - YR12, E99, R21
Bow - R83
Grass - G40, G231, E51
Rocks - E70
The paper is from Chloe's Closet by Making Memories. The saying is from Hero Arts. Finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.
I attended a Stamp and Scrap Art Tour convention this past Saturday and it seems every booth had grunge paper flowers. So I came home and played with my Tim Holtz grunge paper and Marvy flower and McGill leaf punches. I airbrushed both the flowers and the leaves. I embossed the flower with a Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. I stamped a weathered wood pattern onto the smaller orange flower.
The previous post also has a grunge flower that I created with an EK Success Whale of a Punch again embossed with my Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder. The leaves on that flower were punched out with a McGill punch and then stamped with coordinating leaf stamps by Serendipity stamps. Again, I airbrushed them with my Copics. The center flower is another McGill punch over stamped with the same weathered wood stamp.
I also made a gorgeous rose that will be on a future project so you will have to wait. But you can see how I made it here on Wendy Vecchi's blog. These flowers are quite addictive!

The Red Sox have decided on 24 of the 25 players who will be in New York to face the Yankees on Monday. The final spot is being held for Jackie Bradley Jr., but it�s not quite his yet.
Bradley is not on the 40-man roster, so the Red Sox would have to clear a spot for him before he can officially join the major league team. That could come by designating a player for assignment or trading one.
Until then, the charismatic 22-year-old outfielder remains in limbo.
�It�s fine with me,� Bradley said. �I�m sure when the time is right, they�ll tell me what to do.�
There is not another healthy position player in camp. So, if it�s not Bradley in the final spot, the Sox will be springing a surprise on everybody.
The rosters are not due until Sunday. It is likely that the Sox hope to trade a player to create a spot for Bradley rather than putting one on waivers. There is no disadvantage to waiting.
With roster decisions being made around baseball, the Sox are remaining flexible in case opportunities arise.
�We�re at the point where we�re working through some final roster situations,� manager John Farrell said. �We�re at 40 currently, so any changes to that are going to require a process in which to go through. We�re not at the final 25 or the final 40 yet.�
Bradley started in left field in Thursday�s 8-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins. He lined out to right field and drew a walk. Bradley is hitting .433 in spring training with a 1.154 OPS.
�He deserves to be with us,� second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. �He has great instincts and he has impressed everybody. He�s going to be good. I mean, he is now.�
Bradley took advantage of the opportunity created when David Ortiz proved unable to play because of a lingering right Achilles tendon injury. Based on recent lineups, the Sox will use Bradley in left field and Jonny Gomes as the designated hitter.
�That�s what winning teams do, you find guys who can fill in when guys go down. He gets the opportunity and we have confidence in him,� Pedroia said. �I don�t care what his age is, he can play the game. He brings a lot.�
Pedroia came up to the majors for the first time at age 23 and struggled in 31 games, hitting .191. He returned in 2007 and was named Rookie of the Year.
�Just be yourself; don�t be somebody that that you�re not. That�s what I would tell him,� Pedroia said. �He knows what he can do. He had a great spring, just keep playing.�
If Bradley opens the season with the Sox, that would start the clock on his service time in the majors. Once Bradley reaches six full seasons, he would become a free agent.
Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, the Sox can delay that for a year in two ways: by leaving Bradley in the minor leagues for 11 days to start the season or for 20 days later in the season.
Farrell said the main criteria for Bradley would be whether there is regular playing time for him. Until Ortiz returns, that would seem to be the case.
As the Sox moved carefully with Bradley, other spots fell into place. Farrell told Mike Carp that he had made the team.
�He�s going to come off the bench, pinch hit, occasional start, the flexibility to go to first and left field if we do pinch hit or have changes in other areas,� Farrell said. �That hasn�t changed from the day he walked in.�
Carp, 26, was obtained from Seattle on Feb. 20 for future considerations. He has not hit well in camp (.182 with a .529 OPS) but has a track record that includes a solid 2011 season (.276 with 12 home runs) with the Mariners. Carp was injured much of last season.
�I knew I was in a good position, especially playing first base and having the experience there. But you never know until you get the final decision from the skipper himself,� Carp said. �It was nice this morning to come, get pulled in the office and told. It�s a good feeling. You can have a good day and get ready for tomorrow and that flight to New York.�
Starting first baseman Mike Napoli, who has a degenerative hip condition, was healthy and productive throughout camp. But Napoli could need games off or days as the designated hitter to rest his legs. That makes Carp a potentially important player.
�The ability to go to first base weighed heavily in this. You can say it was a deciding factor, defensive versatility,� Farrell said.
Farrell also said Daniel Nava was �likely� to be on the roster. Nava is the reverse of Carp in that he is more of a left fielder who can also play first base. Nava has hit .243 over parts of two seasons with the Red Sox. This would be the first time he is on the Opening Day roster.

Fox's Jimmy Johnson has conviction on Tannehill, Gase
A six-pack of Dolphins nuggets on a Monday afternoon:
• Fox's Jimmy Johnson has seen enough of Adam Gase and Ryan Tannehill to have a strong conviction.
"To take them down the field for that winning drive, he has shown he's a franchise quarterback," the Fox analyst and former Dolphins coach said of Tannehill.
"Adam Gase was brought in as much as anything else to fix Ryan Tannehill… and he has done that. He has done a tremendous job with the entire team. But the crucial thing is Ryan Tannehill. Everybody said he had athletic ability, he could make the throws but he didn't make the crucial throws in the crucial games. He has shown in the last month he can do it. He made great throws last week against San Diego to win that game."
• How unusual is it for a team to make comeback after comeback, as the Dolphins have done over the past month?
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Dolphins are the first team to win four consecutive games after trailing in the fourth quarter since Tim Tebow's Denver Broncos in 2011. Dolphins coach Adam Gase was the Broncos' quarterback coach that season.
What's more, before Sunday, the Dolphins had been 0-31 in their history when held scoreless in the first three quarters of a road game.
And then there's this, also from Elias: Sunday's win marked only the seventh time in NFL history that a team won in regulation time, overcoming a double-digit margin after not scoring in the game's first 55 minutes. The last such win was by Washington at Dallas in 2005, with Mark Brunell throwing a pair of TD passes to Santana Moss to rally the Redskins.
• Gase said he had not been given an update on guard/tackle Laremy Tunsil, who was limited to 25 of the Dolphins' 60 offensive plays because of the shoulder injury. Tunsil was not wearing a sling after the game.
Left tackle Branden Albert, who tore ligaments in his wrist, said Sunday that he hasn't ruled out playing against the 49ers, but that might be ambitious. Center Mike Pouncey remains out, perhaps for several weeks, with a hip injury.
• If you remove Todd Gurley's 24-yard touchdown run in the first quarter, the Dolphins held Gurley to 51 yards rushing on his other 19 carries.
• Notable snap counts from Sunday: Among running backs, Jay Ajayi played 48 of Miami's 60 snaps, with Damien Williams getting nine snaps and Kenyan Drake two… Among receivers, Jarvis Landry played 54 snaps, DeVante Parker 53 and Kenny Stills 50. Leonte Carroo played two when Landry was dealing with cramping issues…. Among tight ends, Dion Sims played all 60 snaps, Marquies Gray 16 and Dominique Jones six….
Without backup Mario Williams available at defensive end, Andre Branch played 55 of 62 defensive snaps, Cam Wake 47, Jason Jones 31 and Terrence Fede two… Among defensive players, four players logged all 62 defensive snaps: cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Tony Lippett, safety Isa Abdul-Quddus and linebacker Kiko Alonso…
At linebacker, Spencer Paysinger had 42 defensive snaps and played well; Neville Hewitt and Donald Butler each played 20…At defensive tackle, Earl Mitchell – in his second game back after a calf injury – played 20 snaps. Ndamukong Suh logged 55 and Jordan Phillips 38… At safety, Bacarri Rambo (41 snaps) played more than Michael Thomas (20). Slot corner Bobby McCain played 42.
• In its analysis of Sunday's game, Pro Football Focus gave its three highest Dolphins offensive grades to Parker, Landry and Ajayi and its three highest defensive grades to Maxwell, Abdul-Quddus and Paysinger, 83.7.
PFF says "all five starters on the offensive line earned below-average run-blocking grades, with right tackle Ja'wuan James and center Anthony Steen the worst of the bunch."
But… "cornerbacks Byron Maxwell and Tony Lippett were targeted a combined 14 times, allowing eight catches for a total of 85 yards, with the longest being a 21-yard catch-and-run by Tavon Austin."

This is my rendition of Lubor Fiedler's ingenious Gozinta Boxes (also known as Parabox or Inside-Out box). (The reason I am touching the boxes so gingerly is that they are 20 years old made from now brittle cardboard. Nevertheless, this effect is one of my favorite illusions.)
For those who know how these work please take a look at the small box and note its shallow lid. This should stop you in your tracks and make you gasp, because it is different to the original, and improves the illusion.
John Slonina (04/17/2014)
Great illusion! How about an ebook with instructions that can be purchased. After having just purchased Lubor's gift by Lubor Fiedler, I would have much preferred your effect. Regards, John
Bobby Hughes (02/22/2015)
Any further developments or possibility of being released in any format? Regards, Bobby

At this point I have no plans to market this version. Part of the problem is that it is quite difficult to manufacture since tolerances have to be very tight.
Michael Lyth (10/18/2016)
I think you have a vision to bring the box up-to modern times and materials and I admire you for you taken on a challenge that although problems at first a day will come and Gozinta boxes will be in use again not lost Lubor Fiedler creative mind gave the magic world a wonderful prop. Card board ones are selling on ebay for £149.50 So ''The Box Goes-In-Da Box'' by Peter Prevos was a excellent addition to my library marine ply or balsa wood or perspex may be a choice for me. I hope to see your perseverance with this project.
