"The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants."
~Johnny Depp
Anyone who has ever owned a dog knows that dogs teach us valuable lessons about life. They seem to know how to be present, to forgive, to love, to protect what's important, to play and enjoy the simple things in life. If you pay attention to a dog's approach to life, they can also teach you about resilience, the ability to adapt to and recover from challenges like loss and grief.
I've been a dog owner for most of my life, and it's certainly true that their companionship means everything to me when I'm feeling discouraged, sad, or lonely. If dogs could talk to you, they would share some wise words about how to take care of yourself when you are grieving the loss of your loved one. They are great listeners, helpers, and loyal friends.
When you are grieving a loss, what you need most is a best friend, which dogs are certainly famous for being.
So, my dog (Cotton) told me that he'd like to write to all of you today who are grieving the loss of your partner/spouse/best friend. He has lots to share and has been waiting for his chance to love on you.
I'm just taking notes:
1. "Seek comfort from the pack."
You don't have to go through this alone. There's a pack somewhere that will accept and support you in your time of sorrow.
2. "I'm here for you."
Just let yourself be with someone who cares, without them even saying a word. This can be so comforting and healing.
3. "You'll feel better after a walk."
Moving your body – especially by getting out in the fresh air – will lift your energy and mood.
4. "It's cuddle time."
The healing power of touch is so important. Get in the habit of giving and receiving at least 3 hugs per day.
5. "Let's go for a ride – and be sure to stick your nose out the window."
Getting out of the comfort zone of your house and going for an adventure gives you a chance to air yourself out and feel more joyful.
6. "Shake it off."
Getting drenched in the torrential downpour of your own tears and snot? Come out of the rain for a bit and shake it off.
7. "Belly rubs are good for you."
Ever seen a dog lying on its back with its underbelly on display? It's ok to be vulnerable and trust in the universe to be kind and offer up a rub instead of an attack.
8. "Take a nap."
You need lots of rest when you are grieving. Pay attention to your body when it tells you it's time to rest.
9. "Loyalty is a given."
You don't have to prove your loyalty by staying sad forever. Your loved one wants you to be happy, not suffering.
If you've been growling at yourself or biting at your own heels about your feelings and your process, it's time to re-evaluate that strategy. Does criticizing yourself for "not moving on" or being "stuck" in your grief really help? I hear so many people doing that to themselves and it makes me sad. (Time for a puppy pile)
How about doing something else instead – like trying one or all of the tips above? Be gentle, compassionate, and patient with yourself, my friend. Take all the time you need.
There you have it. Tough love from the pooch.
Oh, and be sure to give yourself a treat for being such a good person.
Love and Blessings on Your Journey,

What a fun post title.
It's been a great month, but I'll wait and tell you more about it on Thursday when my Episodes and Adventures post goes up. Today, I wanted to answer a couple of questions I've been asked recently about what's next now that the Minstrel's Song series is complete. The biggest ones being….
What's next? And (for those who know the answer to the first question), When will the first book in the Turrim Archive be available?
That's kind of a lot of questions all rolled into one, so I thought it might be worth devoting a blog post to discussing it.
First of all, the next thing coming down the pipes actually is NOT the Turrim Archive.
I know, I know!
I really did not mean to… but I got captivated by an idea and took a couple of weeks off in April to write a somewhat ridiculous/adorable very short original fairy tale for the next Fellowship of Fantasy anthology. It was announced last week that the story has been accepted! Huzzah! *throws confetti and cupcakes* As of right now, it may be placed in the Fairy Tale OR the Cat-themed anthology… whichever it fits better in.
However, the next series of actual novels that I am currently working on IS the TURRIM ARCHIVE. It is my belief that this will be a five-book series. Currently, books 1 and 2 are written: The Orb and the Airship, and Mantles of Oak and Iron. I passed the half-way mark on book three last week – which currently is stubbornly remaining title-less, though I have a few ideas I'm playing with. My title for Mantles of Oak and Iron did not become apparent until I was nearly done with the writing, so we shall see if one presents itself in the next month. My goal is to have the rough draft of book 3 finished by the end of June, and be well on my way into book 4 by the time I head to Realm Makers.
What is the Turrim Archive and how will it compare to The Minstrel's Song?
This series is an epic fantasy with hints of gaslamp and some glimmerings of high fantasy scattered throughout. It is different to The Minstrel's Song in both feel and scope, and yet there are some similar themes that readers of both series will notice, I am sure. This series has more political intrigue and is not so quest-based, though there are some smaller-scale quests within the series, so far.
There are airship pirates and a military academy and a world that has been experiencing a pseudo-Cold-War-type relationship between The Telmondir Council and the Igyeum. It does have magic, but it is far more limited magic than you saw in The Minstrel's Song. And, though it pains me greatly, this world contains no dragons. (try not to faint)
This series maaaaay have a character who is
partially heavily inspired by my love of Malcolm Reynolds.
These books are shaping up to be a bit shorter than The Minstrel's Song books, each clocking in around 115K words right now (for reference, that's a couple thousand words shorter than Yorien's Hand), though of course much can change in the editing phases, but I seem to be the sort of writer who does not add very many overall word-count during editing.
So, when can you expect to see The Orb and the Airship available for order?
Not for a while.
I am happy with the way that The Minstrel's Song series ended up, and I am beyond thrilled with how the story unfolded. However, I also learned a lot through the process of polishing and publishing that series. And I am going at Turrim Archive very differently.
The grand scheme of things (there we go! you knew the title had to show up somewhere!) right now is to write all five books and then edit and polish them simultaneously and have the covers done so that the entire series is "ready-to-publish" before I release book 1. Then I can release the books a little bit more rapid-fire (right now I'm thinking 1 every 9-12 months) instead of making you wait 18-24 months for each next book. While I am doing that, I can continue writing whatever I decide to work on next. Of course, that does mean a bit of waiting right NOW, as I have 2.5 books left to write, and then going through the editing phase for so many words is going to take some time, as well. But I think in the end it is actually going to end up being an easier and smoother process, overall, with less re-writing and scurrying around frantically trying to make sure that there aren't any inconsistencies or contradictions from one book to the next.
I had hoped to be able to finish the rough drafts of books 3, 4, and 5 this year… but as we are nearly at the halfway mark for the year already, I do not think I am going to attain that dream. I do think I can probably finish books 3 and 4 before the year's end, however. If I could start releasing this series before the end of 2020, I would be delighted beyond all reason, but I really can't promise anything at this point.
I hope that answers your questions about what I'm working on and when it will be available!

tl; dr: VDG is not a single entity with "official" decisions or something different from what KDE is: everyone is responsible for his/her actions and words. Recent Martin Flöser criticism about small changes with less global vision is true.
VDG (originally Visual Design Group, now just V Design Group) was created by Jens Reuterberg during the KDE4-Plasma5 transition, it included experts from different areas and they did a great work, with a solid and coherent vision about UI/UX. Since KDE4 times, developers did an awesome work both implementing visual and usability changes and improving Plasma's performance and stability.
Since then VDG changed a lot, losing contributors and acquiring others and because of the great work done with Plasma, developers of other KDE software started to ask for VDG's input. We didn't have good organizational skills, and I know we lost a great contributor just because following VDG's discussions became impossible. More people joined discussions on Telegram groups and the small-fixes phase began.
Since the beginning sentences like "VDG said…" made little sense, but considering what VDG is now, they are totally nonsense. At the moment there isn't a list of "VDG members", VDG happens to be just a set of groups where people mostly discuss visual and usability issues. It's OK, KDE definitely needs it, but sometimes developers forget it (or just try to get an "official" response to pass responsibility to an entity that does not exist) and we still get replies like "but months ago VDG said…". VDG did not say anything, it just happened that someone helped developers on one issue, now that person is not around and somebody replied something different on the same topic.
What can we do to improve this? Following discussions I found some patterns that should be avoided by both developers and other contributors:
- a developer asks for VDG input in VDG group, someone with no knowledge about the matter (most of the time the needed knowledge is: HIG, previous discussions about the issue, solutions provided for similar issues) shares his/her opinion and in the worst case it's taken as an "official" reply. We have (had?) project maintainers for different areas, those should be pinged, but sadly some of them are not around anymore. While new enthusiasts' opinion is welcome, they should be better introduced to KDE's recent history and decisions.
- about reverting changes, here there is a patter that often happens to me: I propose X, someone else proposes Y, then developers implement an "Y-ish X" and I agree appreciating that my opinion matters, but after a while the "Y-ish X" doesn't work and I suggest that Y would be better. It seems I changed my idea but I didn't: I still think that X is better than Y but Y is better than the Y-ish X.
- on small changes against big picture: here Martin Flöser is really right, while I don't know the topics he's referring to because the areas I care about and the ones he's responsible for do not intersect, some changes have been made without I was able to notice (and I think it happens to most of us, since we are hobbyists) and without caring of the effects on the big picture. This is true for Kirigami, where adapting things incrementally overshadowed Kirigami's principles, which were layout responsiveness, UI morphing between form factors and input types, controls at the bottom on phones for reachability, space for content and less use of chrome. Revisiting these with statements like "if you want an ergonomic phone buy one with smaller screen" is not acceptable at this point. New contributors must know the principles we agreed on.
- fragmented discussions and no traceability of decisions: here the solution is simple, let's use Telegram groups or other channels for quickly discussions with people around and be sure that every important thought is on Phabricator, discussions organized on tasks or reviews. Be sure to follow/use VDG tag on Phabricator to get updates/ask for feedback and share the link in the right group/channel if needed.
- about involving developers into VDG discussions: many of them joined Telegram but most don't because of obvious reasons. I must say that I suggested to VDG to switch to Telegram from Google Hangouts when Telegram just released its shiny desktop client and the experience was really better compared to Hangouts. Most of our Telegram groups are bridged to IRC but with a poor experience. There was a big discussion in KDE about switching away from IRC for something else and since the best alternative, Matrix, is already bridged to Freenode with zero maintainance needed we basically agreed on using both IRC and Matrix: everyone uses what he/she prefers. What to do with Telegram groups? My suggestion is keeping just the groups intended for users and make contributors switch to Matrix/IRC, with most of the important discussions happening on our infrastructure, Phabricator, organized in tasks (Maniphest), reviews (Differentials), and mockups (Pholio, yeah Phabricator's app names are terrible but hey, still better than use Microsoft GitHub).
Thanks for reading.

Beaumaris – Self Catering Holiday Cottages
Beaumaris is a captivating seaside town with lively cafes, pubs, restaurants and hotels with good food to suit every taste and some excellent shopping, marked by quality independent traders.
With a mix of Medieval, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture, visitors can stroll along the seafront, taking in the pier and the views over the Menai Strait and Snowdonia, continuing through the charming streets with its picturesque cottages, many painted in soft pastel colours.
Beaumaris Castle is a United Nations World Heritage Site which was built as one of the iron ring castles of North Wales by Edward I to stamp his authority on the Welsh. It was never finished but is nevertheless called the "most technically perfect Medieval Castle in Britain."
Opposite Beaumaris Castle is the Court House, constructed in 1614 and renovated in the 19th Century. Here visitors can walk through the large rectangular courtroom, stand in the original dock and view the splendour of the grand jury room.
Beaumaris Gaol was built by Hansom (famous for the Hansom Cab) in 1829 and features the only working tread wheel in Britain.
Nearby in Church Street stands the 14th Century Church of St Mary and St Nicholas which houses the empty coffin of Princess Joan, wife of Prince Llywelyn Fawr and daughter of King John of England. The location of her body remains a mystery but her effigy is carved into the coffin lid.
There are two more very well preserved historic buildings – the Court House, constructed in 1614 and the Victorian Gaol in Steeple Lane.
A popular visitor option is a two-hour cruise around Puffin Island, with a chance to see puffins, seals and other wildlife at close quarters.

Class of 2015
Lobbyist, California Advocates, Inc.
Undergraduate: California Lutheran University
Major: BS in Business Administration
Lexi Howard '15 decided to go to law school when she worked as an escrow officer, with her sights set on becoming a transactional real estate attorney or lobbying in the real estate industry. "When I was an escrow officer, I handled transactions from residential real estate and manufactured homes to complex commercial/industrial and land conservation easements. I had regular contact with attorneys representing the principals in those transactions and figured I could do that too, and probably better than some."
Howard received her Bachelor of Science degree in business administration in 2010 from the California Lutheran University in Ventura County, California and was still working and residing there when she applied to law schools. "I wanted to be in Sacramento and my first choice was McGeorge. I received a job offer from a friend and colleague in Sacramento and took the job before I was accepted into McGeorge... what a relief when I actually received the acceptance in the mail!"
Howard currently works as a lobbyist at California Advocates, Inc., the firm that brought her to Sacramento, and it played a big role in shaping her career path. "In the legal field there are many options. It turns out that I enjoy helping to shape the law as much as I thought I would enjoy transactional real estate. As a contract lobbyist, I am offered the opportunity each day to learn something new and work with inquisitive minds. It's great to have a job where I can have stimulating conversations about issues where reasonable minds might disagree. The best outcome is collaborative and intelligent decision-making."
Howard cites the many networking opportunities she had at McGeorge as an important part of her career success. "In our first few weeks of law school the evening class members became fast friends. Those friends are now colleagues in and around the public policy space in Sacramento." She cites McGeorge's powerful alumni network as a dynamic force in shaping public policy. "McGeorge alumni are everywhere and we are lucky to have our training at McGeorge as a shared story that unites us. At the end of the day, we may disagree on a number of issues, but we do so with civility, professionalism, and integrity, and the policy we form together is better for it."
To prospective students interested in working in and around the Capitol, Howard recommends McGeorge both for its location and its opportunities. She advises prospective students to choose a law school in the town they think they want to practice. "Building a community in school with students and faculty carries over into your daily life after law school, both professionally and personally. Friends you make in law school are friends and colleagues for life."
As Howard looks to the future, she is excited about her opportunities. "Law school was hard yet rewarding. It was an exercise in strength, grace, compromise, and balance - some days I did this better than others. For years, I was a lobbyist by day, a law student by night, a parent and all those other roles in the spaces in between. Since passing the Bar, I can now concentrate on work, family, some fun, and also about what's next. I'm grateful for my time at McGeorge, to those who supported my journey, and for the opportunity to make a difference."

NINETY SIX, S.C. – The King University men's golf team opened play at the 2014 Lander University Bearcat Golf Classic with a pair of strong individual performances in the first two rounds that will leave two Tornado golfers in contention for top-10 finishes over Sunday's final 18 holes.
Ross Maietta had a sparkling day for the Tornado, finishing the first 36 holes tied for 12th place. He was one over par with a first-round 73, then shot a 74 in the second 18 holes to position himself to compete for a top-10 finish on Sunday.
Freshman Mathias Bunaes fired his second-best round of the year en route to a tie for sixth place in the opening round of play. Bunaes shot an even-par 72 for his second consecutive round at par. He then shot a second-round 76 to finish the day in a tie for 15th place, four strokes over par, ten shots back of Clayton State University's Fredrik Lindblom. Lindblom holds a three-stroke advantage on the rest of the field heading into Sunday's final round and sits at six under.
King's Taylor Gouge shot a 160 over the first 36 holes, while Leennawat Numpituckchaikul finished the first two rounds in 162 strokes. Cody Boyer filled out King's contingent at the tournament with a 165 over the first two rounds.
The Tornado are tied with Georgia Southwestern State University for 13th overall with a team score of 613, 30 strokes off the pace. Georgia College leads the tournament with a 583, four strokes clear of Columbus State University.
The tournament will resume tomorrow for the final 18 holes of play.

Non-Resident Capital Gains Tax
From April 6th, 2015, non-UK residents are subject to UK capital gains tax on the sale of UK residential property. Previously such gains could have escaped UK tax free and there was no need to report the sale of this property. However, this new non-resident capital gains tax (NR CGT) does not affect other UK assets and the usual capital gains tax rules will apply.
When determining the amount of gain chargeable to NR CGT we need to calculate the gain either side of 5th April 2015. The gain made on the property in the period to 5th April 2015 will still be subject to the old rules whereby taxpayers who remain outside of the UK for 5 complete tax years will not pay capital gains tax. The gain made from 6th April 2015 to the date of sale will be treated separately and subject to the new rules. There are two ways in which to calculate the gain in both periods.
Calculating the gain
This new legislation included some transitional provisions that provides tax relief for any gain arising before the change in these rules. They provided two alternatives:
Option 1 – Rebasing
In this case you elect to use the value of the property on 5th April 2015 and calculate the increase in property value from this point. This process is known as "rebasing". A valuation can be made on the date of disposal and does not need to be made prior to 6th April. It is therefore sensible to record the current condition of the property so that an accurate retrospective valuation can be made.
Option 2 – Apportioning the gain
The second method will be to calculate the gain over the whole period you have owned the property and then apportion this gain to the period from the later of; the date you became non-UK resident or April 6th, 2015.
Allowances & Reliefs
Non-residents will still be able to benefit from the annual exemption. The first £11,100 of UK capital gain will be tax-free. Gains made on residential property in excess of this amount will be subject to 18% or 28% depending on the amount of gain and also the levels of other UK sourced income.
Principal Private Residence relief (PPR) is available to reduce the taxable gain on the sale of an individual's property. The periods of ownership that qualify for PPR relief includes
- Period where you owned and occupied the property as your main residence
- The last 18 months of ownership where you had previously owned and occupied the property as your main residence.
- Up to £40,000 of gain that relates to a rental period of a property that was also considered your PPR for a period.The availability of these reliefs must be viewed in conjunction with the apportionment of the gain before and after 6th April 2015.
The disposal of UK residential property must be reported to HMRC on a NRCGT return within 30 days of the conveyance even if there is no capital gains tax due.
If you are already registered for self-assessment you would need to pay the tax due within the normal self-assessment time frames (31 October following the end of the tax year if filing by paper or 31 January if filing online). Individuals who are not registered for self-assessment will also need to pay any tax due within 30 days.

The role of Ohio's Boards of Elections is to administer local elections. Ohio's 88 counties each have a separate Board of Elections. Each Board of Elections accepts petitions for local, legislative and congressional district offices. Local candidates, political parties and political action committees have to file campaign finance reports at their county Board of Elections.
Each Board of Elections has a governing board made up of four persons, two from each political party. The Boards of Elections are responsible for the registration of voters. A voter can modify his address with his local Board of Elections to ensure the accuracy of the voter record. The Boards also provide information about voting requirements and polling locations to the residents of their respective counties.
The Boards of Elections process applications for absentee voting and accept absentee ballots. The operation and maintenance of voting machines is the responsibility of the Boards of Elections. The Boards also certify election results.
Ohio's Boards of Elections receive legal guidance, information about election procedures and training from the Ohio Secretary of State's Office. A complete directory of the Boards of Elections is available on the Ohio Secretary of State's website. The directory contains the address, contact information and website of each Board of Elections.

Morning! I think I am slowly getting better. It seems every other day - I am either hopeful or depressed about the little medical situation here. Today is a hopeful day. I have to remember that if I compare to days previous, that I can see improvement. So will hopefully be able to continue worming my way out of this diverticulitis scare without the meds.
We were getting ready to leave the house yesterday to take the dogs to the groomer, and our groomer, Sandy, cancelled on us saying that she couldn't take any more dogs today that her back was hurting too bad. I hate that she doesn't feel good but I was extremely disappointed b/c I took such great lengths at trying to plan our May. Sandy said to bring them next week. So I texted my friend Lisa and told her that we either would NOT be able to join them next Saturday or that we would have to come after 4. She said no problem. I let Sandy know that we changed our plans for next Saturday so we could bring them then. Our fur babies are so nasty and ready for a grooming. I was so disappointed. But what can you do.
Then George and I neither one can hear one another and/or we are confused. Yesterday was frustrating b/c I had to repeat everything I said and so did he. Or we had to correct each other. I don't know why yesterday was like that. Most days we hear each other fine. Here is an example of what yesterday was like:
Me, as I get a text as we are about to leave to take the dogs to Sandy for grooming: Oh no, Sandy has cancelled.
George: Oh?
Me: Yes so we won't be able to do our plans next week. We'll have to take the dogs then instead. It makes me so mad to work so hard to plan everything out just right for May so everything will fit in the schedule, and then something happens and messes it all up. Why do I try?
George: You are mad b/c Sandy has cancer?
Me: Sandy has cancer?
George: You said she did.
Me: I didn't say Sandy had cancer.
George: You just told me that.
Me: No I didn't. I didn't know she had cancer.
George: No, you just then told me she had cancer.
Me: Why do you keep saying that? I never said she had cancer. (Then it hit me.) Oh I said Sandy has Cancelled.
George: Ohhhhhhhh, ok that makes more sense.
Me: So we'll have to tell Katy we can only do the Mother's day outing in the evening next week.
George: No we won't.
Me: Yes b/c we'll have to pick the dogs up in the afternoon now, so we can't make plans.
George: But next week is not mother's day weekend.
Me: Oh it's not? Oh well what's next weekend?
George: I think it's the 6th or something like that.
Me: Ohhhhh, ok. Next week is when we go to the Ireland's house.
George: Yes, it'll all work out.
Me: I'll text Lisa and let her know we'll have to come late in the day.
George: Yeah, it'll be fine this way as the dogs grooming will look even better for Tybee if we wait a week
Me: True.
Oh my word, just to have a simple conversation took us forever.
So we ended up going to the grocery and coming home and dropping off the groceries and then going to Needham's for our plants. We tried to do the planting last weekend but the rain held us off. Life is really making us be a week late at everything I think.
I bought Vinca's for planting yesterday. And then later in the day actually got them planted. George bought lots of herbs.
When we got back to the house, I worked in the laundry room some, did some ironing. Got the coffee ground for the next two weeks, cleaned the kitchen, rebooted dishwasher, vacuumed, dusted, cleaned some on the bathroom, picked up some.
I rested in b/w and played my Tropical Farmville game. The planting took a while from like 3 until 5. I sat on the back porch some even though it needs some major attention.
I came in and showered and tried to be productive but was just worn out from the sun. It was pretty hot out there while planting several rows at the mail box and in the planter by the driveway, and the planter in b/w our garage doors, and two other planters. So I played some more.
George came in and began cooking an awesome seafood dinner of shrimp, Cod de la Portugese, spanish rice (requested by me) and a simple salad with tomatoes and Ginger dressing.
It was very good. But while waiting - since it was going to be about 8 before it was ready, I decided to take a nap. It was about 6:30 but since I'd been up since the 4 o'clock hour, I was zonked. So I slept like a baby and George woke me up right before 8 so I could be awake enough to eat. lol
As I was getting up out of bed from my nap, I thought This has been the fastest weekend! And now I have to go to work tomorrow. Then when I got on up and got my bearings, I realized happily that it was only Saturday!
I ate and played the game again and then fell asleep on the sofa, lol. George woke me up about 9:30 and said "let's go to bed" so we took the dogs out and headed back. Slept again til Tugie woke me up at 4 again. lol
The sun rise was really pretty this morning. There is no sun now though as the clouds are moving in, in front of a pretty major frontal system that is to bring some rain.
I'm glad we are in for the day. I plan to do a bible study and then set into laundry and a few other things that I've been wanting to do but have not had the time. Tomorrow May will be here. I had said that as of May 1, I would begin gathering things for our trip. So excited! Katy told me that she and Cody are booked for Tybee also (at a different time). I think they are also booked for a Texas trip. She and I are wanting to book a girls trip for a long weekend. We were thinking San Antonio, and go to the River Walk, but I'm thinking we ought to do Charleston, lol.
I had cantelope for breakfast and really craved peanut butter on whole grain bread. So I had half of a piece of bread with some peanut butter. If that is not testing the evil spirits, what is? lol I drank coffee in b/w each sip. And now off to go drink water with lemon and benefiber. This is nuts but one has to assure oneself that all will turn out ok in the end.
Well, I am going to jump off and get on with the next thing. You all have a good day! I'm waiting for all this rain to arrive and going to get some things done in the house. May even do some cooking.

text: There are more and more applications appearing for mobile devices. So far, a lot of them have been focused on entertaining the user. However, there are good reasons to believe that mobile enterprise applications will increase in the near future. Normally, an enterprise application puts higher demands on the software development kit and runtime environment in terms of security, communications and performance. This master's thesis will explore those, and related subjects from the starting point of a mobile enterprise report client. Aaro Systems delivers group-level reporting systems. Many companies are reporting frequently, as often as every week. For some of their users finding a workstation with the standard client at the time the report is ready is not always possible. Therefore, Aaro wanted to explore the possibilites of letting their users view some reports in their cell phones. A first version of such a client was developed as part of this master's thesis work. The choices for solutions are stated and motivated in this document. It turns out that the possibilites for developing mobile enterprise applications are good. Of course there are problems that needs workarounds when developing for mobile J2ME capable devices. This thesis highlights some of them and give an overview of possible solutions.

A San Francisco Catholic church announced it would remove a sprinkler system that was reportedly dousing homeless people as they slept near the building's sheltered doorways.
The Archdiocese of San Francisco said Wednesday that the sprinklers outside St. Mary's Cathedral would be turned off following a backlash after a KCBS report about the watering system.
There are several tall doors with sheltered alcoves that attract homeless people at night, KCBS reported. Though there are no signs warning people, the sprinkler system turns on several times during the night, the news station reported.
"Water pours from a hole in the ceiling, about 30 feet above, drenching the alcove and anyone in it," KCBS reported.
The water runs for about 75 seconds in all four doorways, and KCBS reporters said they watched as the sprinklers soaked homeless people and their belongings.
"We're going to be wet there all night, so hypothermia, cold, all that other stuff could set in," a homeless man named Robert told KCBS. The sprinkler system is "keeping the church clean, but it could make people sick."
The news station said there were "syringes, cigarette butts, soggy clothing and cardboard" in the area but no draining system, allowing the water to pool on steps and sidewalks. St. Mary's Cathedral is the principal church for the archdiocese.
In its statement, the archdiocese said the sprinkler system in its back doorways was installed about two years ago after "other ideas were tried and failed."
The archdiocese said the sprinklers were modeled after systems in the Financial District as a "safety, security and cleanliness measure" to "avoid the situation where needles, feces and other dangerous items were regularly being left in these hidden doorways."
The archdiocese said the problems with homeless people sleeping in St. Mary's doorways was "particularly dangerous" because students and elderly people pass the areas en route to school and mass daily.
According to the archdiocese, the homeless people who slept in the doorways were informed in advance about the sprinklers being installed.
"The idea was not to remove those persons, but to encourage them to relocate to other areas of the Cathedral, which are protected and safer," according to the statement.
The church said it recently learned that the system required a permit and might violate San Francisco water-use laws, and that the sprinklers would be removed by the end of the day Wednesday.
"We are sorry that our intentions have been misunderstood and recognize that the method used was ill-conceived," the statement said.
"It actually has had the opposite effect from what it was intended to do, and for this we are very sorry."

Shameless Plug - True Blood

You're right. It really is addicting. Although I didn't really like the whole Tara and Sam thing. Some of the things they've added I haven't liked. I read the first book, but I haven't read the others.ReplyDelete
Oh and Bill is more creepy than cute. Like when he says Sookie's name, it's so weird.
I've felt that way about a few of the differences from the books. Thankfully it is HBO and we are getting a decent interpretation - just imagine if it had been made for network TV. I have to say the Charlaine Harris series is one of my personal favourites. There's a new Sookie story in the new anthology Wolfsbane & Mistletoe.ReplyDelete
waaaaah, haven't tracked any true blood down yet.ReplyDelete

There isn't any sign up and they usually post new episodes on Monday.

Ur right network TV would not have been a fit for this series. I haven't read the second book in the series yet. I'm a little worried about how she's going to pull off fairy blood and were-panthers.
I have been bemoaning my lack of HBO as I have really been wanting to see this show!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link Grace, I know what I'll be doing for the next couple hours...

Many new improvements coming in new Linux KernelBy Derek Sooman
The new Linux kernel 2.6.12, which will succeed the current 2.6.11, will have support for trusted computing and SELinux (security enhanced Linux) for multi-level security. Due imminently (but with no current fixed release date) the new kernel also features Red Hat's contribution of address space randomization for defence against buffer overflow attacks and remote script kiddies, and multipath I/O support and load balancing. There will also be support for native virtualization support with Xen, as well as improvements in the clustering and embedded systems arena, and software suspend will allow a state to be suspended to disk or memory.

It's weird. Things that used to be fun to me have lost a lot of their appeal. Social networking and coffee are still a part of my life, but my perspective and passions are changed every time I return home from a mission trip. I feel like so much of what I considered important isn't anymore. Serving God is addictive and fulfilling to the core.
I had some new realizations on this last trip to India about benefits missionaries today enjoy that no previous generation knew:
1. Internet
Thanks to facetime or skype we can stay in touch with family back home. We can connect with friends across the world on a minute by minute basis. Netscape popularized the internet as recently as 1992. We are the first generation to enjoy this.
2. Airplanes
Airplanes were used in World Wars 1 & 2, but for decades after the beginning of the 20th century were seen simply as war toys with no real use. It was only in the 50's that airplanes began to be introduced as travel opportunities for the everyday person.
Today we can fly nearly anywhere in the world in 24 hours. We are really only the 2nd generation to take advantage of this. No other generation in the history of the world has had this level of freedom and possibility.
3. Bottled Water
Previously while traveling across the world, water needed to be treated or boiled in order for foreigners to enjoy it without getting sick.
Realistically, bottled water was originated by Poland Spring in 1845 and Perrier in 1863. However, it was only recently that bottled water has caught on as a global phenomenon.
Our generation is really one of the first to enjoy fresh bottled water nearly anywhere we are called by God to go in the world. This saves us unexplainable time, energy and worry to be able to focus on our call.
4. Global Brands
Also within the last century, riding the wave of the internet and globalization have come global brands.
Starbucks isn't an American phenomenon - it exists and thrives in many countries of the world.
Coca Cola, Pepsi, International banking companies and much more exist and thrive across the world.
It is surprising and can be very comforting to see familiar signs, promotions and foods while en route to reach the world.
While only a recent phenomenon, global brands enable our generation to travel and work with ease like no generation before us.

How to Lose Weight in the WinterSaturday, December 8th, 2012
Winter Weight Loss
We all know how easy it is to pack on the pounds in the winter time! Salads, smoothies, and fresh juices don't usually sound appealing on a cold winter day. In turn, we end up reaching for comfort foods which are typically high in fat and carbs; next thing we know, we're up 10lbs! Ugh!!
One thing that always gets me through the winter months is adding yummy warm veggies to all my dishes…even salad! I love my cooked veggies with salad, it's just a simple change but it makes a world of difference!!
Today I had some red potatoes and broccoli on hand so decided to steam them up in a pot of salted water, slice them, and serve them over a lovely salad. It totally hit the spot!!
My salad consisted of mixed greens: romaine, arugula, and baby swiss chard, shredded carrots, avocado, diced orange bell pepper, sliced cherry tomatoes, a sprinkling of nutritional flakes, and Garlic Expressions salad dressing (it's my fave!).
Then I topped it with my piping hot boiled potatoes and steamed broccoli. So good!! I know it seems like such a small change but it really does make a world of difference to add cooked vegetables to your salads!! IT lightly wilts the greens and makes the salad much more hearty, warming, and comforting. Another variation that I love is to add a drizzle of my pistachio pesto and these roasted veggies.
Maintaining winter weight loss can be easy, delicious, and fun! Try it and then let me know what your favorite variations are!!
