I used to take it as a given that an interest in vehicles inherently made sense. People were either into cars or they were not. I assumed that even someone who wasn't into cars understood the fascination, even if they didn't share it. When I took the time to really look at the world around me, I had a realization. I. WAS. WRONG.
To understand how a car enthusiast must look to anyone else, I needed an angle. I initially thought of using the perspective of a "car hating Millennial," which seems to be a popular bogey-man. There were problems with this. For one, no one seems to agree on what a Millennial actually is or if they really all hate cars. Secondly, I wasn't looking for an antagonistic perspective. Instead, I decided to work from the mindset of someone who views cars as another appliance, like a washing machine. Frightening.
[Enter Steve, Washing Machine Enthusiast]
The other day, I was visiting Steve. I'd overheard him at work, talking to other wash-heads. I was mildly curious about the hobby, I'd known some people who were into it, so I decided to bring up the subject. Steve perked up immediately and asked if I wanted to see his laundry room. I can say this: my laundry room is simply a place for my washing machine, his was something wholly other. All over the place were posters of professional washers, and vintage metal signs advertising long gone brands of soap and fabric softener. On the wall was a peg board with little silhouettes so that things like irons and detergent bottles always went back in the right place. He also had a collection of tools, some of which were familiar and some that I couldn't imagine the purpose of. In the corner were many boxes which seemed to be full of vintage washing machine parts. Most shockingly, in contrast to my laundry room, he had not one but FOUR washing machines.
"Why the other three when you have that one?" I was referring to the newest of the four. I'd seen advertisements for it and I was pretty sure it could easily do anything the others could.
"Oh, that one. Never use it." He goes on to explain that his wife picked it out for when she has to wash clothes. "Given the choice," he continues, "I'd have skipped the purchase, but she says mine are too complicated and touchy." He then motions proudly to the other three. "These are mine!"
I'm a bit confused by what I'm seeing. All three machines have all sorts of esoteric levers, switches and gauges that seem outdated and out of place even on these machines. All of them are at least a few years older than I'd expect someone "into" washing machines to care about. "Er. What does this lever do?" I'm sort of embarrassed to ask, but how else will I learn anything.
"That one engages the linkage between the wash drum and the motor." The tone of voice he uses suggests I have asked a profoundly stupid question.
"Why you want to do that? I'm pretty sure my does that on it's own." I'm sort of confused at this point.
He looks at me as if I've grown a second head. "Well I suppose if you've never tried it wouldn't make sense. Let me tell you, once you get the hang of it you gain a fine control of the exact engagement point that is far better and smoother than those automatic linkage systems. More efficient too."
"Wait just a second," I reply. "I'm pretty sure when I was purchasing my last machine the automatic drum linkage was actually slightly more efficient than the manual version."
"Lies," he insists. "Those numbers only reflect the EPA tests. I've monitored my own usage quite carefully and I always manage to exceed the estimate. Well, I suppose that's only when I'm not washing spiritedly, but when I want to I can get better efficiency."
Over the course of this tour I find out that he has three machines because, he says, they all offer distinct washing experiences. The newest, is what he calls his weekly-washer. It's a strange pale orange color. I swear last time that color was popular had to be at least a decade ago. Compared to the others it's the most boring, but it's also the toughest and the most easily replaceable. Next comes the very loud green unit. This is apparently the "fun" washer, it has a larger motor, upgraded stabilizers, and tons more done to it. "Spins 20% faster than when it left the factory," he announces triumphantly. The last one, I learn, doesn't work. He's restoring it and upgrading certain components along the way. I'm told that good examples are too rare and too expensive but that he always wanted one.
Apparently, all three washing machines have a bottom mounted drive attached to the wash drum, while most modern washing machines (like his wife's) have side mounted drive. I had thought side mounted was better, even though I rarely consider it at all. He informs me that it was all clever advertising to hide the fact that they were cheaper to manufacture that way. I then ask about models with dual drive that have both bottom and side. Once again I am apparently wrong; Steve says those dual drive machines lack soul, and detergent is far more important than extra driven parts.
Steve often washes clothes that are already clean because it helps him relax. I can kind of understand that. Sometimes a load of towels is kind of meditative for me because it requires almost zero effort and lets my mind wander. This, I am told, is not what he meant. For some reason he picks the most technical garments he can find to wash, because it requires full attention and really lets him test out the capabilities of his machines.
I learn about washing machine shows. Steve apparently hates something called the "Pantz" movement. These guys modify the stabilizers because it makes the machine look "cool" somehow. I'm told the result is a machine that can only be operated on the gentle cycle. "These guys are ruining otherwise good machines," he says. Honestly I remember most of those models from high-school. I never thought they were very impressive, but I don't tell him that.
At this point my brain is overflowing with technical jargon and details I once considered irrelevant. My head is spinning faster than the drum in the strange olive green number which he fired up so I could see it in action. Now that I look at it, I notice it has a bulge molded into the access panel to allow clearance for a larger motor. The obnoxious whine it emits does nothing for me, and it looks kind of silly. In short. I just don't get it.
I resolve never to bring up the subject again to him. I may, however, ask him for advice next time I buy a washing machine. I probably won't follow it.

Tyler Dunlap, a 27-year-old newlywed in San Francisco, is just one of the many American men eagerly awaiting the results of a large clinical trial in India.
The trial is studying a new male contraceptive, RISUG (Reversible Inhibition of Sperm Under Guidance): a reversible, nonhormonal contraceptive that provides 10 or more years of protection after a 10-15 minute procedure. Researchers received approval this week to begin enrolling additional study volunteers, after a delay of nearly four years.
"RISUG would be exciting because it would mean that, finally, I could take control of my own future, instead of leaving it to someone else," says Dunlap. "Being in a committed long-term relationship means that I don't want to rely on condoms for birth control. I'm not ready for a vasectomy, though. This new procedure could be the answer that gives men the decisive control we lack with current contraceptives."
In the RISUG study, doctors inject a gel into the tube that sperm travel through after they are produced (known as the vas deferens). The gel then disables the sperm as they swim by. In study animals, male fertility returns if the RISUG is flushed out with another injection that dissolves the gel.
Elaine Lissner, director of the nonprofit Male Contraception Information Project in San Francisco, says she is not surprised that American men are watching the RISUG trial with keen interest. She emphasizes that the method has the potential to be the first truly affordable, reversible, long-term male contraceptive.
In 2002, when enrollment in the Indian study was halted, more than 140 men were already using RISUG. Concern about side effects and insufficiency of safety data caused a temporary suspension of the project. However, expert panels subsequently concluded that the major side effect -- several weeks of non-painful scrotal swelling in about a third of the subjects --was not enough to stop the study.
Additional Safety Tests
Since 2002, researchers have conducted several additional laboratory safety tests on RISUG.
"When we first began using RISUG in volunteers more than 15 years ago, we didn't have access to the more sophisticated toxicity tests available today," says Dr. H. C. Das, one of the lead investigators. "Last year we sent RISUG to an FDA-registered laboratory in the United States for more tests, and the results came back clean. We've also done more studies at the Industrial Toxicology Research Centre in Lucknow, India with the latest equipment. We're glad to be able to provide men this additional reassurance."
Dr. R. S. Sharma, deputy director general of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), concurs that the safety results were "very satisfactory." The ICMR is working to arrange study sites throughout India, beginning with Jaipur, Ludhiana, Udhampur, and India's capital New Delhi. Three data monitoring committees will watch for any safety concerns.
Next Steps
But Lissner cautions that progress will be slow without sufficient political will. "A reversibility study in men is key," she stresses. "And we're hoping that the Indian government is committed enough to this research to get the next batch of RISUG made to the FDA's latest Good Manufacturing Practice standards. If it is, the results will carry more weight internationally. Then men in other countries -- such as the US -- can hope for faster government approval."
Currently, RISUG's developers are arranging a collaboration with US researchers. Lissner says that to gain FDA approval, US researchers will have to begin with animal tests, so studies in North American men would not start for several years. Still, she notes that "We shouldn't be discouraged. We already know that RISUG works, which is half the battle in drug development. Men in studies in India have been using it for more than a decade. Now we just have to finish our homework."
RISUG's chief developer, Prof. Sujoy Guha of the Indian Institute of Technology, says myths about men not being interested in contraception are just that: myths. "I get letters from men all over the world who beg to come to India and participate in this study at their own expense."

Torrington turns attention to bullying in wake of football rape scandal
TORRINGTON >> Many Torrington city officials and parents say they're reserving judgment for those involved in cyber bullying two 13-year-old victims of an alleged rape until more facts are realized in the sexual assault investigation.
"I don't think that Torrington-ians are so obtuse that they don't think when their children are getting hurt, they don't take a look at it, but that will be up to parents," said Torrington Middle School parent, Bill Battle.
Joan Toribio and Edgar Gonzalez, both 18 of 330 Highland Ave., are accused of statutorily raping two separate 13-year-old victims.
Toribio is charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault and three counts of risk of injury to a minor, all felonies, related to two separate alleged incidents which occurred in the same "time period," according to police.
Gonzalez is charged with second-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury to a minor, felonies. Gonzalez is also facing robbery charges, three felonies and two misdemeanors, in an unrelated alleged incident. A 17-year-old city male is charged with second-degree sexual assault related to the same two victims.
After Toribio and Gonzalez were arrested, teens took to Twitter to vent their feelings about the case, many calling the victim a "whore" or "snitch."
"This is one of those kinds of things, as a parent, (where) what I would say is this: let the police do their jobs and let the rest of us stand back and wait and see what happened. It's already a tragedy, and the tragedy might be more in the reaction than in the doing itself," said Battle.
Discussing the city's role in the case, Mayor Ryan Bingham said, "When the full extent of the details are available we'll make sure that if there are some deficiencies that come out in the process of handling this situation that they get corrected, but at this point it's a little too early to tell," said Bingham.
Asked if Battle believed there may be a systemic issue, Battle said, "No, not at all." He said, "I'll pay a little bit closer attention to my son," and "As parents we'll be able to see a little bit more what's going on."
Battle said, his "heart goes out," to Torrington Schools Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko. "She's in a situation where none of this happened on campus but, still, all of (it) is in her purview," he said.
However, not all parties agree.
"The Susan B. Anthony people came in last year and did a whole bunch of seminars," said head boys basketball coach Eric Gamari. "Some of the kids believe it and some of them don't," he said.
"Once it hit the paper it was a very, very, very powerful story, and to me the story begs for the board of education to examine to root causes of what happened in all of these instances; to see if there are root causes; to see if they are somehow endemic to how we are running our sports programs in Torrington," said board of education member Paul Cavagnero.
Cavagnero noted he believed that chairman of the board and superintendent, "are acting very professionally protecting the board of education and the community."
Most questions were met with a wall of silence.
Superintendent Cheryl Kloczko did not respond to multiple phone calls.
"We have been instructed by the superintendent not to talk to anybody," said a Torrington Athletics coach.
Kenneth Traub, the chairman of the Torrington Board of Education, said that "Due to the sensitivity of the age of the children," the board would not comment on the matter any further.
Vice chair for the Torrington Board of Education, Fiona Cappabianca, said she avoided the papers and could not comment because, "The board of education has to remain impartial for potential expulsion hearings, and no just ours its statewide." She added, "We have to protect the confidentiality of all students in our district."
Board of Education member John Kissko declined to comment, saying that, "under the bylaws of the board, he's our spokesman." Referring to Traub, Kissko said, "If he's not going to say anything..."

The Logmatic wedge Axe LM-250 Pro (see also LM-150) is a truly revolutionary design improvement on the traditional axe, which has changed very little in thousands of years, and created specifically for splitting firewood. Traditional tools used for splitting wood – such as a common axe or maul and wedge – require a great degree of strength and skill. The Logmatic Wedge Axe is much more simple and safe to use – wood is split quickly and accurately with consecutive strikes in the chosen position. There is no need to lift or swing this tool through the air or overhead, often causing injury, and no need to continually bend at the waist, causing back strain. Completing the System is the Logmatic Splitting Basket or Rack, which securely supports several logs at once for splitting, and then functions as a smart log carrier, and basket or rack, at your fireside. Splitting firewood and kindling has never been so simple and safe, efficient and ergonomic!

GOP State Committee OKs More Conservative Platform
The head of the state's Republican party is distancing herself from a more socially conservative platform approved by the Massachusetts Republican Party.
The platform adopted Tuesday night by a majority of the 80-member Republican State Committee says the party will "affirm the inherent dignity of human life."
"We believe that every instance of abortion is tragic," the platform reads. "We advocate policies that will assist a woman during a crisis pregnancy."
On the question of gay marriage, the platform says the party believes "the institution of traditional marriage strengthens society."
Massachusetts Republican Party Chair Kirsten Hughes said she doesn't support the platform, which she downplayed, saying it represents the beliefs of just the 52 members of the committee who supported it.
"It really is nothing more, nothing less than that," she said.
She also said the platform doesn't bind a Republican running for office in Massachusetts.
"Certainly candidates are free to divorce themselves from it," Hughes told The Associated Press. "It's not something that reflects my views and I chair the party."
Hughes said she supported a minority report that affirmed the dignity of human life but added that "describing every abortion as tragic demonstrates a judgment we are not willing to pass with such a broad brush."
She said the bulk of the approved platform espoused more centrist Republican views on jobs and the economy.
The platform could also prove awkward for two of the party's most prominent candidates - Charlie Baker, who is running for governor, and Richard Tisei, a candidate for the state's 6th Congressional District seat.
Baker supports abortion rights and gay marriage. Tisei is gay and married and also supports abortion rights.
"Charlie is pro-choice and respects a woman's right to make decisions about her medical care. Charlie is and has always been a strong supporter of marriage equality," Baker spokesman Tim Buckley said Wednesday, adding that Baker is focused on "creating good jobs, improving our schools and strengthening our communities."
Baker is facing a possible primary challenge from fellow Republican Mark Fisher, who is aligned with the tea party wing of the GOP.
Tisei, who is hoping to unseat Democratic incumbent US Rep. John Tierney, pointed to what he called his "long record of supporting gay marriage and a woman's right to choose."
"The Republican Party should lead the way in getting government off our backs, out of our wallets, and away from our bedrooms, and the party hierarchy would be wise to adopt platforms that promote these values," Tisei said.
Democrats and abortion rights groups were quick to fault the platform.
Attorney General Martha Coakley, a Democratic candidate for governor, said the platform "would be a major step backward for women's rights and equality."
"Charlie had a chance to stand up before last night's vote and lead his party in a different direction, but he failed," Coakley said in a statement Wednesday.
A few hours later Coakley highlighted the GOP platform in a fundraising email to her supporters.
The abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts criticized what they called "a fringe and extreme agenda."

|The Carrie Nations - a fictional band from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
In the first half of the 20th Century there were many popular all-female musical acts. In the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s there were vocal groups like The Andrews Sisters, The Boswell Sisters, and The McGuire Sisters. In the early rock/soul era, the so-called "girl groups" such as The Shirelles, The Teen Queens, The Paris Sisters, and The Chantels all achieved both artistic and popular success. However, none of these groups were proper bands. There were some all-female bands -- that is, groups comprised of female musicians -- but sadly most were viewed by many as little more than curiosities. You can read about them here.

TROY -- As the rain fell Sunday night, drinks and memories poured forth at the South End Tavern, as the iconic city pub and restaurant held one last party before shuttering for good.
When Marty "Butch" Burke, the third generation of his family to run the tavern, announced its closure last month, patrons both new and old began pouring into the tavern - but it was those with some of the deepest connections to the tavern and to South Troy that came out Sunday night.
Max Kennedy had been part of the extensive steel mills that were once the lifeblood of South Troy - and of the South End Tavern. He had been an employee of PorTec, a manufacturer of railroad joints, and would stop up to the South End Tavern every day.
"I used to come here every day for lunch," said Kennedy. He would order a hamburger, a couple of beers, and a half-and-half, also known as ham and cheese on rye.
Kennedy would go on to meet and marry a woman with South Troy roots herself - Sharon Kennedy. Like Max, Sharon's father worked at the same plant, but when it was known as Republic Steel, where he was employed working the ovens.
"After work, he would come here and have two beers and then he would head to the South Troy bathhouse," said Sharon. "He'd take a shower and then go home." That bath house, part of which still exists, was constructed for the mill workers, many of whom could not afford indoor plumbing, but needed to clean off after a long day's work.
Max and Sharon raised their children in South Troy, and would bring them down to the tavern. Their son, Kevin, now lives along Stowe Ave. and has already brought his 2-year-old, Emma, with him down to the South End Tavern - but no longer.
"It's changing times," said Kevin. "Back in those days, you had all that [manufacturing] down there in South Troy. The demographics are changing and people don't come here as much as they used to. This used to be the only game in town, but now, there's a lot more places to go."
Kevin remembered standing in line outside the tavern waiting for a place to sit, often on a Wednesday for roast beef, or a Friday, when fish was the special.
"Nobody cared how long they had to wait," chimed in his mother Sharon. While the tavern once thrived on the blue-collar dollar, there were others who stopped in for the last call who had very different memories.
Sitting in a booth at the corner of the bar was 87-year-old Samuel L. Moses, who was once a police officer in the city of Troy, and the first African American hired to the force. Fifty years ago, he and another officer had been called to the tavern with the report of a break-in. When they arrived, two investigators were already on the scene.
"They were at the front and told us to go around the back," said Moses. After going behind the tavern, they found two thieves with the restaurant's safe open. When the thieves saw the officers, they took off, prompting one of the officers to fire a round that glanced off one thieve's hand and stopped them in their tracks.
"We locked them up," stated Moses. The thieves were found to be two brothers from Amsterdam that were on a robbing spree. Metal shavings were later found in the bed of their pickup truck, which gave detectives the evidence needed to connect the duo to a robbery a week earlier.
For Moses, it was a return to an old haunt, but for 1-month-old Jack Thomas Dylan, it was a new experience. There were only 75 of the $25 tickets for the farewell celebration on Sunday, and Dylan's family wanted him to have one because he had never come through the tavern's front door.
"We figured that if we sat his little butt down on that stool, it would be the fifth generation of McGrath-Harrigan to sit there," said his grandmother, Kathy Dylan.
He will now be the last generation to sit on that stool in a South End Tavern operated by the Burke family.
Owner Marty Burke has been contacted by several parties interested in buying the establishment, and possibly continuing the brand, but he has been waiting for the tavern's last day to begin the process of selling the property.

Florida's first national bestseller received the Washington Monthly's Political Book Award and was cited as a major breakthrough idea of 2004 by the Harvard Business Review. Toronto's Globe and Mail called it "an intellectual tour de force, scholarly yet colorfully written," and its ideas have been implemented and called on for inspiration in communities and cities across the United States and the world.
Rise, as it has been appropriately re-dubbed in the popular lexicon, looks at the forces reshaping our economy and how companies, communities and people can survive and prosper in uncertain times. It gives us a provocative new way to think about why we live as we do today – and where we might be headed. Weaving storytelling with reams of cutting-edge research, Florida traces the fundamental theme that runs through a host of seemingly unrelated changes in American society: the growing role of creativity in our economy.
Just as William Whyte's 1956 classic The Organization Man showed how the organizational ethos of that age permeated every aspect of life, Florida describes a society in which the creative ethos is increasingly dominant. Millions of us are beginning to work and live much as creative types like artists and scientists always have. Our values and tastes, our personal relationships, our choices of where to live, and even our sense and use of time are changing.
Leading this transformation are the 40 million Americans – over a third of our national workforce – who create for a living. This "creative class" is found in a variety of fields, from engineering to theater, biotech to education, architecture to small business. Their choices have already had a huge economic impact. In the future, they will determine how the workplace is organized, what companies will prosper or go bankrupt, and even which cities will thrive or wither.

Belay Specs have great optics and a design that allows you easily look around the glasses to keep an eye on your environment.
Belay Specs were designed to fit over most prescription and sun glasses so you can see clearly and comfortably.
Belay Specs bend the light so you don't have to bend your neck. You're neck will feel the difference right away!
Belay Specs let the belayer keep a constant eye on their partner in comfort to provide a better belay.
Belay Specs are belay glasses that can improve belayer comfort while improving belayer attiveness. Our belay glasses use light "bending" prisms which allow the belayer to look up without bending their neck. Eliminating extreme neck bending minimizes typical belay discomfort, allowing belayers to keep a constant eye on their partners and provide a better, more responsive belay.
Reduced Time with Head Bent Back: Since Belay Specs bend the incoming light, the belayer doesn't have to bend their neck to keep an eye on the climber. Anyone who has belayed for a time knows how quickly the looking up position becomes uncomfortable.
More Attentive Belaying: Not have to bend your neck to see up means the belayer can comfortably keep a close eye on their partner. The belayer will be more likely to see a foot behind the rope, notice a back clip, realize their climber is looking shakey or remember the sequence through a cruxy bit.
Rock Fall and Debris: A more attentive belayer is also more likely to see things that can hurt them, namely falling rock, and be able to avoid them. An unexpected benefit of belay glasses is that you're less likely to get sand or debris in your eye because you're eyes aren't facing up.
Better Belaying Position: Since looking up is comfortable, the belayer isn't tempted to step back from the wall risking a longer leader fall and having the belayer getting sucked into the wall.
Belay Specs are made in Salt Lake City by climbers and are the only belay glasses made in the USA. Furthermore, we source nearly all our components domestically to support American businesses and the US economy.
Making every pair in house allows us to ensure high quality and the flexibility to work with customers to customize their Specs. It also allows us to quickly respond to warranty issues and repairs since we have all the necessary equipment readily available.
Belay glasses greatly reduce the strain on my neck incurred watching my climber during a long steep pitch. As a result, I am a more attentive belayer, ready to pay out rope for clips and catch falls when the action gets spicy. The clarity through the Belay Specs prism is top-notch!

Many of my secular friends are having a hard time coping with Pope Francis, and I understand why. He's an enigma. We've all borne witness to the likes of Pope Benedict, whose status as a theologian was overshadowed by his callous attitude and many missteps.
Pope Francis is in some ways Benedict's polar opposite. Being a Jesuit—the first ever to hold a Papal tenure—he is humble, attempts to live a simplified life, and understands the plight of the impoverished. He goes out at night and takes care of the sickly. He finds humility to be a worthwhile attribute so much that he refuses to stay in the expensive Papal suite. He gives up the Pope Mobile for an antique. He speaks out against Capitalism. He walks the walk… even literally.
Meanwhile, Benedict's tenure saw scandals galore: money laundering at the hands of the Vatican bank played into the notion of a Vatican City awash in Capitalism rather than the ethical behavior one expects to find at the Holy See. He fumbled—like Bush did with FEMA during Katrina—when it came to dealing with allegations of pedophilia in the clergy. We witnessed the proclaimed center of Catholic morality, including god's chosen witness on earth, fall into corruption.
Rightly the secular masses are somewhat skeptical—why Francis to replace Benedict? Is this the new face of Catholicism or just the guy they are using to spin the church right before they fall back into corruption once he is gone—like a placeholder for the second coming of Ratzinger? Frankly, I don't believe the highly-conservative heads of the College of Cardinals would have cast their votes for someone like Francis if they knew he was going to turn as many heads as he has; they have never cared about public opinion before and I doubt highly that they had a change of heart about it. So the conspiracy theories that Francis is a Publicity Stunt for a dying church is growing a little tiresome.
But while there are your typical conspiracy nuts out there (especially those who just flat out hate religion, or just Catholicism in general), other secular individuals are just downright impractical. They want Francis to allow women priests, to open up the doors to gay marriage in catholic churches, and if he doesn't heed their demands, well, then he's a terrible nonliberal, who does not belong in his position of authority.
Let me be clear: I'm not an atheist, yet nor am I a Catholic (in the practicing sense, but I do believe in a supreme being). But I was a Catholic—raised into the faith and traditions and the shame (as every good Catholic, even former Catholics, knows well)—and so I am sympathetic towards Catholicism. For me, even as an Apostate, Catholicism represents the earliest, most 'accurate' variant of what might be considered 'actual' Christianity; that is to say, it represents, to the best of its ability, the oldest continuing sect of what came from the Romanization of the dogmatic eschatological traditions of the 4th Century (which had already changed dramatically—perhaps almost entirely—from the initial post-Easter kerygma). I've got a bias and I know it.
However I'm not one to let the church off easy for its many sins. I've written scathing articles against the treatment of women, on confessional institutions that limit academic freedom of thought and research, and on certain conservative interpretations of the Bible. In this respect, I am as much a Catholic as any other—one who is both reverent of its place in the world but skeptical of its own hierarchical claims to authority (said with only part of my tongue in my cheek).
Yes, I do think that the Magdalene Laundries were horrific. Yes, I think the Crusades were unfortunate and a tragedy—especially for Muslims and Jews. And, absolutely, I agree with anyone who thinks that every priest who has sexually assaulted or abused another human being—whether that be a child or a woman or a man—should be tarred and feathered and stuck out in the gallows at which people to throw rotten food. And yet somehow I can't think of a reason why I should let these terrible and historic events overshadow the present.
I'm not going to sit here and tell you all not to judge the people, or even people in general, because I think that is unrealistic. Our world wouldn't run if people weren't judged by other people (it makes more sense the longer you think about it). But maybe I'm just a stickler for judging individuals based upon their circumstances and context rather than taking the whole institution as a whole. Maybe I don't want to hold Francis responsible for the sins of his church fathers.
Would it be awesome if women were allowed into a priestly role? Yes. Shouldn't the church allow gay marriages? It would certainly be great for all those practicing Catholics who are also gay and who love just as deeply as a straight Catholic. But let us be realistic here. That isn't going to happen now. There are lines drawn in the sand. It is a glorious thing when a Pope decides that it is time to cross one of those lines, let alone several—but we cannot expect total reform. The Catholic church is a huge and ancient institution (which is a pleasant way of saying that parts of it are rather dated). Things must happen slowly in order to take hold.
Granted, Francis is accountable for his own actions, in his own time (presently), in the broader context of the current state of the church. And right now they are the actions of a decent man trying to desperately to teach his fellow Christians how to 'Christian' correctly—at least the way he sees as 'correct'. Given his predecessors, that is a tremendous leap forward. We should take that for what it is and be grateful. Any man who risks his own life to sneak out and feed the poor—especially after angering so many dangerous people—is a man who is heroic. When was the last time we had such a Pope? That is why I support him. Dimidium facti qui coepit habet. Given time, it is my thinking that his accomplishments will be the light which shines the path for those who follow.

The first Seder this past Passover took place on a Saturday night. The timing forced us to be organized in order to complete all of our Passover preparations by Friday. The hope was that following the very early meal on Shabbat morning, everyone would be able to rest most of the day and come to the Passover Seder refreshed and ready to take on freedom.
Everything proceeded as planned. I climbed into bed early Shabbat afternoon, satisfied that I had a difficult situation under control. The house was immaculate -- every nook and crook overhauled, the four freezers and three refrigerators filled with holiday necessities and delights (products of 100 pounds of onions, 200 pounds of potatoes and 20 cases of eggs). The out-of-town guests were all satisfactorily situated. The tables were set in royal splendor. I could now relax and get some well-earned sleep.
No sooner did I shut my eyes than the weather turned violent.
"The best laid schemes o' mice and men,..." the poet wrote. No sooner did I shut my eyes than the weather turned violent. Strong winds raged. The house shook almost as though it was at risk of blowing away. I went downstairs to find our family and other members of the community huddled together discussing the situation.
It seemed that the winds had blown a transformer out of place and most of the families in the community were currently without electricity. Our non-Jewish neighbor informed us that the electric company had been inundated with calls and was thereby only accepting life-threatening inquiries.
How long could the food hold out without refrigeration? Surely that evening everything would still be fine, but what about the next day? What about the second Seder that we would be eating on Sunday night?
I have to admit that I had visions of refrigerators of spoiled food leaving us to eat only matzah by candlelight. The endless hours of toil passed before my eyes. Then, a calm settled over me. This must be a reality check, I thought.
I may have put in a lot of hours planning, organizing and lots of hard work, thinking I had everything under control. The Almighty was reminding me that although we may put forth our best effort, ultimately He is in charge. It is He who has to crown our endeavors with success. We have to invoke the adage "let go, let God."
As it happened, that evening, when the community, led by my husband the rabbi, entered a darkened the synagogue to usher in the Passover holiday, the power source was restored and the lights went on.
All of us are dependent on the virtual sea of technology that surrounds us -- refrigerators, stoves, ovens, freezers, air conditioners, etc. These are wonderful inventions, invaluable conveniences to modern living. But, they only work if they are connected to the source. A tiny crack in a transformer, a small break in the flow of current, renders thousands of appliances, and even life giving machines, useless.
This fact of our modern life serves as a useful spiritual metaphor. We too cannot function spiritually unless we are connected to our source -- God.
A woman named Shirley called me recently at the request of her daughter Amy, who took an unusual course in life following her graduation from college.
Shirley had fully expected that, like all her friends, Amy would find a job upon graduation and become a responsible and independent person, validating all of her parents' investments in her throughout all those years.
But Amy decided to take a year off to study Torah in Israel. Shirley was having a hard time dealing with the sad looks and sympathy of her contemporaries, who like herself, could not relate to this spiritual quest her daughter was undertaking in order to get back in touch with her Jewish roots -- her Torah legacy.
I shared with Shirley the understanding that, "man does not live by bread alone." It's true that a livelihood, financial resources, etc. are tremendous values, but they must be considered in the context of being connected to the Source.
Why eat? Why work? Indeed, why live? I assured her that based on my previous experience, Amy will reconnect her transformer, finding her own unique connection to the source of all endeavors, and in that context everything will, God willing, fall into place.
A story is told about Rabbi Meir of Premishlan, a Jew of saintly stature. Even in his elderly years, he used to awaken in the predawn hours to prepare for his prayers and studies. He would make his way up steep hills and mountains to a tiny brook which served as his mikvah where he would immerse following the ritual of spiritual purification.
There were a number of young troublemakers in town, who in an attempt to hurt the Jewish community targeted this elderly, revered figure as their victim. They observed his comings and goings and decided that they would follow him up to the deserted mountain in the wee hours of the morning where they would jump him and give him a good beating.
They were unable to keep up with the old man.
They rose early and according to plan began following the rabbi. But to their amazement and frustration, they found themselves stumbling, tripping, and finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with him. Bruised and bloodied, they aborted their plans and waited for the rabbi to come down.
As he descended, they admitted their intentions to him and asked in total awe, how is it that they who were young and strong were falling and tripping, while he, an elderly man, demonstrated such unbelievable agility. The Rabbi smiled with the wisdom of years and responded, "If one is connected up above, one does not stumble and fall down here below."

The official Syrian state television channel aired a recorded interview with Syrian actor Jalal Al Taweel a day after he was released from a Syrian prison.
Jalal denied allegations that he was arrested and detained by Syrian police officials, instead claiming that he was kidnapped by an armed gang and was rescued by Syrian police officials near the Jordanian border.
According to the London based Elaph, Jalal stated that he was kidnapped while travelling to Jordan by car, en route to France to complete his academic studies. Jalal added that the gang forced him to make false statements regarding his political views and to say that he took part in protests that in reality never occurred.
The actor stressed that it is terrible to see Syrians kill each other over political differences, and that the streets of Syria are full of armed gangs that do not represent the Syrian people.

|Marlena and Witold on video
|Who needs English when Marlena is so good with communicating with her smoking hot European teen body? I know just what she is saying when she puts her hands on my ass and pulls my cock into her waiting pussy. And when she gets on her knees and wiggles her ass ,I know she is begging for some doggy style riding.
|Josefina and Lebed
|Take a look at these fun loving European teens named Lebed and Josefina. They're supposed to be studying for their big English exam tomorrow, but it seems that they've become a little distracted. It's not long before they're having sex.
|Josefina and Vitas on photo
|It seems that this European teen named Josefina isn't as innocent as she looks. Here she is in action with another teen stud, this time a boy named Vitas. She takes his hard cock in her mouth, then deep inside of her tender pussy.
|Vitas and Eligia on photo
|Vitas and Eligia are two European teens with nothing but sex on their minds. I love the European view on sex it's so much more casual and open than the American view. In other words, the girls are a lot more slutty and kinkier.
|Sidor and Henrika on photo
|Henrika is a barely legal European teen that can't speak much English, but she makes up for it in other ways. She's an expert as pleasing men. Whether it's with her sexy mouth or her tender pussy, she'll do anything to make them cum.
|It's not just the sight of those nice teen tits getting covered with water dripping down her neck, nipples and stomach, that is hot, true, but playful tease bent over and showered with her back to the camera, with slight curve of her back making her tight teen ass look simply amazing! Any man would want to tap that, and the slutty teen brunette knows that well. After the shower she didn't turn the camera right off, she got the towel and rinsed her body, pressing against her big teen boobs and her firm ass in ways that would get a hardon even from a blind guy, the devious little tease knows that will make every man that sees pictures think of nothing but fuckign her silly!
|Saucy brunette Laura is hot with a body that is like a wet dream come to life, with big set of cans that glisten beautifully when she soaps herself up. She didn't know there are cameras in the bathroom, or she wouldn't decide to finger herself during the shower, I suppose that she was horny as hell, but didn't want to bother looking for someone to please her. Well, because of that, we get to see her run her hands all over her body, paying special attention to her fine tits, peachy ass and her pussy that she happily fingered and drove herself insane. I sure hope she doesn't check her bathroom for cameras anytime soon, I wonder what else is this hot teen up to under shower.
|Elizabet and Maddox
|Nothing makes Elizabet more comfortable then having a cock up her pussy pounding away at all her sensitive spots, and Maddox is only too happy to help her out, after all, moving to the all girls college dorm can't be easy for Elizabet who got used to having a cock nearby to please her needs whenever she feels like getting her kink on. This hot fuck got recorded on cameras, Elizabet wanted a video of their hot fuck so she can finger herself when she's horny and in need of a dick, that's hard to find in female dorms, but with a video of hot sex positions she went through with Maddox she'll have more then enough content to keep her teen pussy happy through this transition period of hers.
|Elizabet and Maddox
|Nothing is as hot as watching a top class teen babe suck off a guy and then bend over to have her love holes ravaged, and that's exactly what Elizabet was in the mood for, gorgeous teen brunette was feeling horny, and Maddox's cock is just right for her, she enjoys being fucked by him very much, especially when there are couches, chairs and beds around that they can use for their sex encounters. Elizabet looks super hot in all of these positions, I just loved the scene where she's on her knees and bent over the chair for her pussy to get ravaged from behind, that heavenly ass and the look on her face while she got fucked with her hands all over her teen tits is simply priceless.
|Laska has got a lot going on under the surface, when she's dressed up she doesn't look that hot, but once her shirt is off and you can check out those nice teen tits you realize this babe has got some extra hot looks! That's the kind of body that will have men running around her for quite some time, and the fact that she's blushing as she sets her nice boobs free and as she gets ready to step out of her panties only make men want to fuck her more. With that sinful smile and that cute face, Laska will make a great nude model, for now we get to enjoy the sight of her in amateur production, she lost a bet and has to get naked, but I'm sure she'll get a taste for nudity.
|Let me introduce you to my hot next door neighbor Laska, she's in her teens, but she's got the kind of body that would make any female green with envy, with those nice teen tits of hers and an ass that's positively out of this world. She knows that she makes heads turn wherever she goes, and doesn't mind sharing the sight with the rest of the world, that's why she often strips down in front of the camera, setting her nice tits free and toying with them, but that's just the beginning, she gets horny from all the teasing, so she goes all the way, with her hands between her legs, caressing her sensitive spots until her entire body shivers and she has to lie down to finish herself off.
|Elizabet and Maddox
|To make things more interesting, Maddox placed a camera next to his bed so he can make hot homemade teen sex videos with his tireless petite teen lover Elizabet. She turned nineteen recently, but she's got experience many mature babes don't have when it comes to having fun in the bedroom! She can get Maddox fired up just by shaking her pale ass with tanlines in front of him, she knows that he enjoys doggy style fuck the most and is happy to offer her wet love hole to him. That's not the only pose this couple goes through during their one on one adventures, they also fuck missionary style, cowgirl cock riding as well as many others, Elizabet is a regular sex machine!
|Elizabet and Maddox
|Most of the men don't do as well as Maddox and end up helping hot teen babes for nothing, just for the chance to get a glimpse of them, but Maddox knows that Elizabet would be in a world of trouble if she doesn't manage to finish her papers until morning, so he gets to bargain whatever he wants to fix her PC, and what he bargains is the right to fuck her brains out once he's done fixing it! Horny brunette gladly accepts, putting out is something she gladly does, and boy, was she happy she accepted once Maddox whipped his big teen cock out and started fucking her silly, making the babe twitch and moan as he hit just the right spot over and over again until she had several chained orgasms.
|The guy she took along for the ride got to watch Nasty in all kinds of sex positions, the vacation is much more fun for Nasty if there's someone following her around with the camera, ready to take pictures of her hot naked teen body! And she's right to want to brag with it, she's a sexy looking brunette with nice teen tits, killer ass and legs that she gladly spreads wide apart to reveal soft pink shaved teen cunt that's always in the mood for sensual touches. This time she posed by the lake, and she even went swimming butt naked, pictures of her coming out of the water, dripping wet and glistening under the sun are enough to give even the most pious man a massive wood.
|Nasty is still into naked outdoor experiences, this horny European teen just loves having no roof over her head when she's slipping out of her clothes. For this gallery she wasn't supposed to be completely naked, she was supposed to advertize a bikini line, but she got a bit carried away when she started getting naked, tossing everything aside before taking a skinny dip in the pool, getting her perfect teen body all wet and glistening! That sure got Nasty turned on, the water was not too cold and got her sex drive into overdrive, she was horny as hell and couldn't resist finding a secluded comfortable spot in the woods where she could touch herself sensually, teasing her boobs and pussy.
|Lada and Aleksandr
|Aleksandr knows just how to get his cock out and fuck the brains out of his horny neighbor, Lada has often turned to him when she feels an itch that only a guy with a big cock can scratch and he learned how to fire her up. Now he teases her, making her drop down on her knees and wrap her lips around his cock, giving him one great blowjob before moving down between her legs to eat her out and tease her even more with his tongue, getting her completely wet before bending her over and introducing his long cock to her tight shaved love hole. She almost cums from the motion of Aleksandr putting his cock in, but she manages to hold back until he starts pounding at her doggy style.
|Lada and Aleksandr
|If you're in the mood for sensual teen babe then Lada is your gal, she's got perfect body for some nasty bedroom games, especially when the bedroom is just too far for her to reach, in this video of hers she fucks on the kitchen desk and then on the couch, trying out many sex positions with her new lover, Aleksandr. He's got drinks ready, and it takes Lada only few glasses of white wine to lose all of her inhibitions, getting naked and in the mood for sexy pussy pounding. For a nice dinner she fucks Aleksandr's brains out, getting him to cum all over her nice teen tits and her grinning face, there's nothing as hot as watching this teen brunette receive a nice facial surprise!
|Nothing beats the sensation of warm summer sun against bare skin, at least that's what Nasty is all about, and here we get to see her take a picnic in the local woods, but she doesn't worry much about relaxing and dozing off on the meadow as much as getting her pale teen tits out and toying with them, she knows she's got an amazing set of boobs on her that any man would love getting his hands on, and she uses that to make a great naked photo gallery with her perky nipples erect and her pussy dripping wet and ready for hot fingering. She doesn't let the guy making pictures lay his hands on her, which is bit cruel, but she always was a big tease when it comes to her naked body.
|If you want to see Nasty get nasty, then we've got plenty of galleries featuring this slutty teen brunette, she's got a perfect body for an adult model and she's not shy of showing it off. Outdoor striptease is what Nasty got interested in recently, so we get to see her slip out of her yellow summer dress on a sunny meadow. It's not real striptease, the stripper babes usually have more clothes on, but Nasty didn't have anything under her dress, her teen tits and her shaved pussy were completely exposed as soon as she tossed the dress away. There was plenty of teasing, as she bent over for a nice view of her juicy ass, but in no time she spread her legs and exposed her pink shaved pussy.
|Lada and Sonny
|Lada is one horny teen girl, she just loves cock, that's why she's dating Sonny at the moment. Well, not so much dating as fucking his brains out, she managed to talk him into following her on a small weekend vacation to the cottage on a nearby lake, but they have yet to see the lake, Lada didn't let Sonny get out of the house, she hid all of his clothes and is using him as her personal boy toy! Not that Sonny minds, the mere sight of that slim teen figure is enough to get him rock hard and in the mood to fuck the brains out of his petire brunette lover in all kinds of positions, with Lada on top or on her knees or even on the floor - every type of fuck goes for these horny teens.
|Lada and Sonny
|Lada is a kind of babe that would grab attention of every man in the room even completely dressed up, she's just that hot, and naked and spread in the bed she's ten times hotter. With perfect teen boobs, nice figure, firm ass and shaved pussy that looks just too inviting for a nice fuck, she's a wet dream come to life, it's no wonder Sonny grabbed the camera and made a video of her sucking on his dick, but a blowjob was just the start, he got videos of her spread on the bed riding his hard cock and toying with her tits, sight that would get any man cumming, but he managed to hold on and get her to have a hot wet orgasm first, serving her up with his cum only after her happy ending.
|Lada and Vitol
|Lada had only just unpacked and moved in to her dorm room when Vitol showed up at the door asking if he could help her unpack her stuff. Lada told him that shed finished but there was something else he could help with! Vitol had been looking to make a few extra bucks but when he realized that Lada was looking for his services as a stunt cock he wasnt about to ask for any cash, instead he was too focused on burying his dick deep inside her tight wet twat! Lada was begging for him to fuck her harder and deeper and the more she begged the harder Vitol wanted to fuck her until he just couldnt stop himself from giving in!
|Lada and Vitol
|Lada knew that she shouldnt be doing what she was doing, her roommates boyfriend should be off limits but when he brushed against her tits by accident she couldnt help but get really turned on! Vitol had apologized but he had lingered just a little while longer and so Lada had run her hand down over his cock and soon the two of them were completely naked! As Lada spread her legs nice and wide she knew she shouldnt be fucking Vitol but she also knew that his cock felt so amazing deep inside her tight wet pussy. All she could think about was fucking him harder and she couldnt stop herself until she was covered in his sticky hot cum!
|Lada and Vicon
|Lada had invited Vicon over for a cooking lesson, he had been delegated as the cake baker for an upcoming party but had no idea how to bake so Lada offered to help teach him. The two of them got up to much more than baking though! It was only a few minutes in to the recipe that Vicon accidentally brushed his cock against Ladas ass and that was all it took for things to start getting heated and before they knew what they were doing Lada was laying belly down on the kitchen table! As she lay there Vicon spread her legs wide and slid his cock in to her pussy nice and slow as she begged for more! They both knew that that cake wasnt going to get made but neither of them cared!
|Lada and Vicon
|Vicon had dropped by Ladas apartment to help her set up her new TV but after he had set it all up and set down in the chair he suggested that Lada say thank you by sucking on his fat throbbing cock! Being the cock slut that she was, Lada just couldnt say no and while she started off sliding that big dick all the way down her throat it wasnt long before she was spreading her legs and begging him to slide that cock all the way down inside her tight pussy! As she felt him fucking her harder and faster she begged him to cum all over her face and just as she said it he pulled his cock out of her slit and sprayed cum all over her face!
|Lada and Guga
|When Lada invited Guga over to watch a movie with her she knew that they wouldnt be watching a movie, her pussy had been aching for cock for weeks and she sure wasnt going to let this one get away! As the movie started Lada reached over and rubbed his cock and when she felt Gugas dick start to twitch beneath her fingers her pussy got wet and she leaned in and begged him to fuck her slit until she couldnt take anymore! As they both stripped off, Guga lifted Lada up on top of his throbbing dick and Lada started to ride that cock like a real cowgirl! As she bounced up and down her perky titties began to bounce as well making Gugas cock even harder!
|Lada and Guga
|Guga hadnt been working at the taxi company for long but when he went to pick up Lada and found her sitting there in her bra and panties, he knew that this wasnt going to be like any other call! Lada invited him inside and told him to shut the door behind him and as he did she unhooked her bra to show off her perky tits. Guga didnt need any more signals and he dropped his pants to show her how hard his cock was already! Lada was already begging for that dick in her slit and Guga wasnt about to leave her waiting! Picking her up Guga threw Lada back on to the sofa and he buried that dick deep in to her tight wet hole!
|Nasty and Vitol
|Nasty knew when she was left in charge of the office with only Vitol working that the two of them werent going to get much work done. The tension between the two of them was obvious and as soon as they were alone the fun started! Once that door shut Vitol walked over and locked it and dropped his pants to show Nasty just how hard his cock was. Nasty dropped her panties to the floor and as she did she dropped to her knees and beckoned Vitol over so that she could slide his big dick deep down her throat before taking it in her tight aching pussy! They both knew that they shouldnt be doing it but neither of them could stop themselves once they got started and soon they were fucking right there on the floor!
|Nasty and Vitol
|Nasty had invited Vitol over to help her clear out the attic since she was afraid to go up there alone but once Vitol caught sight of her ass going up those steps a night of cleaning out the attic turned in to much more! Vitol grabbed hold of Nastys juicy ass and he tugged on her panties and soon Nasty found herself on all fours completely naked. Vitol knew just how to tease her until she was soaking wet and he spread her legs just enough to slide a finger deep in to her wet pussy! It didnt take long until Nasty was begging to get pounded by his big dick and Vitol was more than happy to oblige as he lowered her down on the countertop!
|Nasty and Aleksandr
|Nasty and Aleksandr couldnt wait to break in Nastys new sun room, she had even made sure that there were plenty of windows through which they could flash all of their naughty fun to complete strangers! As they stripped off completely naked and started to roll around on the floor they got so horny just thinking about the fact that they might get caught by a stranger walking by. The two of them teased each other talking about getting busted by neighbors walking past the windows, strangers who could see them fucking and sucking each other until they came harder than ever and Nasty got all covered in wet sticky cum!
|Nasty and Aleksandr
|Nasty was supposed to be taking care of her neighbors plants when she was out of town but she found it much more fun to bring her friend Aleksandr over to play hide the cock in the sun room! She didnt feel bad at all when she was out in that sun room with her perky titties showing and her shaved pussy flashing, she didnt even care if someone looked through the window and saw her because she got so turned on just showing off her slit where someone else might see! Even more than that though she loves to take Aleksandrs big dick deep in her tight pussy as she moans louder than ever! Just grinding that dick deep in to her slit and imagining getting caught made Nasty want to cum in seconds!
|Nasty and Vitol
|Vitol had been promising to give Nasty piano lessons for a long time but when he finally showed up Nasty wasnt interested in learning piano, she was more interested in teasing his fat throbbing cock! As he sat down on the piano stool to start teaching her he realized that Nasty had slid herself down to the floor between his legs. She ran her fingers over his growing hard dick and started to tease until Vitol had no other option but to unzip his pants and let that fat dick free before it burst out of his pants! Nasty knew just what to do with it though and wrapping her warm wet lips around it she started to suck him off!

How to Style In-Between Bangs Like Cate Blanchett
How to Style In-Between Bangs à la Cate Blanchett
Last night, Cate Blanchett's sideswept bangs defied gravity at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards. The look was similar to Farrah Fawcett's famous flip, but a much more modern take. Her sleek side ponytail paired with face-framing bangs is a winning style for growing out your blunt bangs. To re-create Cate's sideswept look, sweep all your bangs to one side and then curl hair away from the face and to the side. You'll create more of a flip instead of a curl. Then use a comb to feather out. Finally, hit bangs with a shot of hair spray like Oribe Superfine ($19) to ensure bangs stay in place all night. With such a dramatic swoop over one eye, Cate kept her makeup neutral with matching rosy lips and cheeks.

Everyone in the agricultural community should agree that the Ram truck's Super Bowl advertisement tugged at their heart strings. I don't think anyone who knows a farmer would say that they aren't willing to do the jobs that most of us would not. The late radio host Paul Havey said it best:
"And on the 8th day God looked down on his planned paradise and said, "I need a caretaker!" So, God made a farmer!
God said I need somebody to get up before dawn and milk cows and work all day in the fields, milk cows again, eat supper and then go to town and stay past midnight at a meeting of the school board. So, God made a farmer!
I need somebody with strong arms. Strong enough to rustle a calf, yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild. Somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry and have to wait for lunch until his wife is done feeding and visiting with the ladies and telling them to be sure to come back real soon…and mean it. So, God made a farmer!
God said "I need somebody that can shape an ax handle, shoe a horse with a hunk of car tire make a harness out of hay wire, feed sacks and shoe scraps. And…who, at planting time and harvest season, will finish his forty hour week by Tuesday noon. Then, pain'n from "tractor back" put in another seventy two hours. So, God made a farmer!
God had to have somebody willing to ride the ruts at double speed to get the hay in ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop on mid-field and race to help when he sees the first smoke from a neighbor's place. So, God made a farmer!
God said, "I need somebody strong enough to clear trees, heave bails and yet gentle enough to tame lambs and wean pigs and tend the pink combed pullets…and who will stop his mower for an hour to mend the broken leg of a meadow lark. So, God made a farmer!
It had to be somebody who'd plow deep and straight…and not cut corners. Somebody to seed and weed, feed and breed…and rake and disc and plow and plant and tie the fleece and strain the milk. Somebody to replenish the self-feeder and then finish a hard days work with a five mile drive to church. Somebody who'd bale a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who'd laugh and then sigh…and then respond with smiling eyes, when his son says he wants to spend his life doing what dad does. So, God made a farmer!"

Lance Rivers' (b. 1967, San Francisco) art practice emphasizes the idea, above all others, of the local as monumental. No aspect of the processes that make a city function escapes him, and the attention he gives to the beauty of simple, industrial compositions shows an authentic love for the Bay Area. "My work is about landscape, architecture, bridges, tunnels, and transportation. I am inspired by BART, MUNI buses, streetcars, and trains. I like nature, too. These things are interesting to me," Rivers explains. Rivers joined the CE studio in 2002.
Rivers was nominated for SFMOMA's prestigious SECA Art Award in 2016 and his has been exhibited internationally, including in prominent exhibitions such as the People's Biennial at Museum of Contemporary Art, in Detroit, Michigan, in 2014; and Create, a traveling exhibition that first opened at UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in 2011. (See below for a complete list.)

Reclaimed Water
When Water Quality
is an Issue Trust
the Nelson Name
Once called "wastewater," growers, agriculture, industry, and municipalities are now recognizing the value of "reclaimed water." There are a variety of methods for applying reclaimed water, including center pivot systems, travelers, and Solid Set.
For gun irrigation, the Nelson Big Gun® is the sprinkler of choice. With a full range of models available, flow rates of 30-1200 GPM (6.8-275 m3/hr) can be achieved with maximum uniformity to match a variety of needs. Their large nozzle sizes reduce the level of waste treatment or filtration required, and their large throw diameters reduce the application rate. Pressure of at least 50 psi (3.5 bar) at the end of the system provides optimum gun performance, and low trajectory options can reduce susceptibility to drift and evaporation.
The open architecture of the T3000 Trashbuster Pivot Sprinkler passes trash easily. Use it in conjunction with spray or Rotator plates and the 3000FC nozzle for pressure regulation. The O3000 Orbitor also is proven with reclaimed water, as its bracketless design prevents hang-ups.
