Supervisors condemn state proposition to legalize marijuana
By City News Service
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously condemned a statewide ballot measure to legalize small amounts of marijuana, calling Proposition 19 poorly written and dangerous.
"It raises many health and safety issues," Supervisor Ron Roberts said.
County supervisors recently passed an ordinance regulation how and where medical marijuana exchanges can operate, and the city is considering a similar set of rules.
A county resolution against Proposition 19 states that implementing the act would worsen the budget strain of state and local governments because of the need to create regulations and oversight.
The quasi-legal weed, however, could bring in a mother lode of new tax dollars.
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said passage would lead to an increase of people driving under the influence of the drug, something prosecutors are seeing more of already.
"It's not smart to legalize a mind-altering substance," Dumanis said.
Even the title of the initiative, the "Regulate, Control and Tax Cannibis Act of 2010," is misleading because it does none of those things, she said.
"By passing on responsibility to local governments to regulate marijuana use, there is the strong possibility that we will see a patchwork of conflicting local laws and regulations developed with no unified state standards," the supervisors' resolution states.
A handful of people involved in anti-drug abuse organizations spoke in support of the board's action, while the only opponent was not allowed to speak because she was late.
Gretchen Burns Bergman, of "A New PATH, Parents for Addiction Treatment & Healing," said later that laws against marijuana were akin to prohibition.
The same people are arrested over and over, interrupting the recovery process, she said.
Parents in her group are "fed up with their children's life and liberty being taken from them by these punitive policies," Bergman said.
In recent years, pot shops have flourished based on state law dating to 1996 that enables people with recommendations from doctors to smoke, grow and exchange the stuff through nonprofit dispensaries. But in cities like Los Angeles, the number of shops grew to about 1,000 before city officials passed regulations.

A stray bullet or pellet struck a St. Paul School District bus Wednesday afternoon.
Marion County deputies said the bus driver had been heading west on St. Paul Highway at about 1 p.m. when he heard the impact. The projectile hit the driver's side windshield, about 10 inches above the driver's head, but did not penetrate the glass.
It left a spider-web-like crack in the windshield.
There were two elementary-school-age children on the bus at the time. No one was injured, and the bus driver completed his route without any further issues.
Marion County Sr. Deputy David Wagner inspected the bus, and suspects it was a non-intentional shot that likely came from someone shooting a gun in the fields surrounding the area where the incident occurred.
Wagner wasn't able to specifically identify the caliber of the projectile, but suspects it was a .22 caliber, or possibly a pellet from a pellet gun.
Anyone with information about whether someone was shooting in the area is asked to call the Marion County Sheriff's Office at 503-588-5032 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ex-Prosecutor Suspended for Failing to Pay Child Support, Owes Almost $77,000
Posted Jun 6, 2011 10:59 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
A Kansas attorney has been suspended indefinitely by the state supreme court for failing to pay child support.
Jimmie Vanderbilt was once the Jefferson County prosecutor, but hasn't worked in that post since 2005, nor has he made regular child support payments since 2005, the court says in its Friday opinion (PDF). He now owes almost $77,000 in arrears.
The opinion says Vanderbilt, who was admitted in 1995, has been living in a camper and "work[ing] out of whatever county law library he was at during a particular day." He admittedly drove to a disciplinary hearing on a suspended driver's license.

Mexican Seeks World Chili Eating Record
[img width=350 height=231]http://www.bismarcktribune.com/content/articles/2007/02/04/ap/strange/d8n2vtog0.jpg[/img]
MEXICO CITY - For most people, even the smallest bite of a raw chili pepper means a flushed face and a rush for a gulp of water. But Manuel Quiroz can guzzle down dozens of Mexico's spiciest chilies, rub them on his skin and even squeeze their juice into his eyes without so much as blinking.
The 54-year-old Mexico City taxi driver said Saturday that he has made thousands of dollars with his talent and wants to become the world champion chili eater. But first he needs to find an organization that can crown him with that title.
"Chilies don't sting me. They don't affect me. It's just like eating fruit," Quiroz said at a market in the Mexican capital. Shoppers stared in amazement as he crunched on a habanero, the hottest chili pepper in a country that likes its food spicy.
Quiroz said he discovered his talent when he was 7 and grew up betting people that he could eat more chilies than they could. He never lost.
"I'm the best. No one can rival me," he said.
His biggest windfall came when he entered a competition organized by a local television station and took home the $2,000 purse.
Quiroz said he plans to try to get his abilities recognized by Guinness World Records. To his knowledge, no one in the world can swallow more chilies.
"Chilies are the pride of Mexico," Quiroz said. "The world chili-eating champion has got to be here."
Quiroz said he has never been examined by a doctor to find out if there is a medical explanation for his extraordinary endurance to the spice.
"Why would I go and see a doctor?" he said. "There is nothing wrong with me. Eating chilies makes me feel great."
Re: Mexican Seeks World Chili Eating Record

Eat Real Food: mini-mission
The best way to develop and stick with your healthy eating habits is to keep it simple and to accept today's mini-mission to eat real food. Processed, packaged food is appealing because it's easy, fast and convenient. The problem is, after eating it for a while, you start to like it … really like it. Your body craves the highly addictive ingredients and your go, go, go mentality enjoys the ease of opening a box, eating and getting back to it.
Michael Pollen, author of In Defense of Food and Food Rules said it best with these two very simple ideas:
- "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."
- "Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize as food."
Instead of opening another box or bag, eat real food.
Here are a few simple ideas to get you started …
- Try this simple soup recipe (pictured above). veggie broth, kale, spinach, spices. Pour veggie broth in a pot. Add a handful of Kale and a handful of spinach. Add spices, or not. Heat until soup is warm and veggies are steamed or wilted. Garnish with greens.
- Eat like Leo.
- Eat things you don't like. I didn't grow up eating kale and the first time I tried it, I thought it was really bitter. Today, I enjoy Kale, especially when I think about all of the goodness it delivers to my body. I developed a taste for kale just by eating it. There is no magic here.
- Eat Awesome.
- Peel a clementine. Eat it.
- Spend money on good quality food. You can get an entire meal (or two) at a fast food restaurant for less than $5.00 but you have to make a choice. Do you want to spend more money today on high quality, nutritious food, or do you want to spend your money later on prescription drugs and healthcare.
- Try a green, breakfast bowl. (I'm making one right after I publish this post)
- Buy a farm share. Call farms in your community and ask if they have a farm share program. You'll have seasonal, fresh produce available at a very reasonable price.
- Cook with Five Ingredients, Ten Minutes
- Eat colors not calories.
- Drink your veggies with a green juice or smoothie.
- Indulge. Order dessert on date night. Enjoy a bag of chips with salsa. Bake cookies with your children. And then get back to eating real food.
When thinking about your food choices, don't be aim for perfection, just eat real food most of the time.

Great advice Courtney. Funny how simplifying your diet can take more effort – well at least to start with. It does require planning and discipline. I like your message of enjoying food and not seeing high calorie food as an enemy. Happy eating
Hello Courtney!
I have been a vegetarian for more than 15 years (I am 31 years old) and I can tell everyone it brings me better health and peace of mind.
One tip for you: make a research on the benefits of lemon. I read a book about it, but it is in portuguese and it has not been translated into english (I am brazilian).
In few words: lemon is great medicine to prevent many diseases, including cancer. I had a problem with stomachaches, mainly due to stress/emotional issues, and lemon helped me get my stomach back in shape. Even though lemon´s acid, inside our body its juices turn into alcaline substances that perform a deep cleansing in our body.
All the best to you, love your website.
Hilda, this is so interesting! A few weeks ago I began a ritual of starting my morning with a class of hot water with a squeeze of lemon juice in it. I can't attest to any big changes, but I do love the quiet, delicious time of drinking it before I move on with my day.
I drink the juice of two lemons every day, one hour before I have my breakfast, without water, just the lemons.
This ritual allowed me to quit the medicine for stomach I had been taking. I also quit sugar completely, which really-really improved my health.
My stomach is back to normal, I don´t remember the last time I got sick and I really feel good.
I am not subscribing any treatments here, but I really recommend people have a look on some article about the benefits of lemon (and the ugly face of sugar).
All the best to you.
I already follow the eat colors rule. I try to have a rainbow of fruits and veggies on my plate.
But my only issue was with #1. Did you make your own veggie broth? I usually buy a can, but the post was turning away from processed food. Would you suggest a cup of water boiling with a veggie cube in it like what I would do to make beef broth on the fly?
Another thing you can do is keep a "stock bag" in the freezer and save up the stems and ends from veggies that you use in the course of your regular cooking. Just be careful with stuff like broccoli & kale because the flavor can be a bit too strong for good stock. I just use a large Ziploc freezer bag. Don't put anything spoiled or bad in there, because you're gonna eat it after all!
I've gone back to eating meat, so I toss in bones, necks and other bits. I also deglaze all of my meat roasting pans and save the liquid (in a mason jar in the freezer) to add to my stock. You could do the same thing if you roast veggies. When the bag gets full take it out and make a big batch of stock. You can add a few extras if you like – especially helpful if your bag is heavy on one kind of veggie and light on another.
I generally make a big batch of stock every month or so and then freeze it in mason jars, so when I need a few cups I just take some out of the freezer and voila! I have a friend who freezes hers in smaller ziploc bags, but I don't like to store liquids in contact with plastic, nor do I put plastic in the microwave so I use glass instead.
Hope that helps!
What a great idea! I had the same thought about the broth used in Courtney's recipe, so it's nice to hear ideas. I'm not wowed by my own efforts at broth, which I make by typically following your 'odds and ends' method, EcoCatLady. I shall have to go on tweaking, I guess! Well, I'm spending it all down now to prepare for a move, but after that… glass jars sound like a good plan- thanks!
I love kale! I've found I can add it to most dishes: raw, steamed, wilted. Once a week I make a batch of kale chips and keep them on the counter in the kitchen. When I need a "chip" fix I grab a handful of kale chips instead of processed potato chips.
Kale Chips
A bunch of kale rinsed, pat dry, cut away centre stem.
Toss with olive oil, a hint of salt and cracked pepper (personal preference)
Bake 400 degree in regular or toaster oven. Time depends on size of bunch. I found about 15 minutes for one bunch.
Raw beetroot salad is delicious and so easy to make: Grate the beetroot, a bit of onion and carrot if you like, add lemon juice and some olive oil, herbs, salt and black pepper. Super healthy and tasty.
We've eaten real food since my eldest son was born. We couldn't afford processed ready meals anymore. Now we wouldn't go back to them. Real food is the best.
Great post! I eat as close to the earth as possible – with very few exceptions. If it comes in a box, can, jar, bag, or bottle, I don't eat it.
Isn't it astounding that we have to distinguish between 'food' and 'real food' what a strange world we live in. I sometimes struggle to enjoy Kale, but if it's done the right way I love it. The kale and spinach soup is definitely getting a trial run, it looks delicious.
I think I have a unique perspective on this one. I've got multiple serious food allergies, most of which are to things that fall into the category of herbs & spices. This means that any food which lists on the ingredients "spices" or "natural flavors" (which is about 99% of what you find in the typical grocery store these days) is off limits for me.
When I first received this diagnosis I viewed this as punishment from on high. Surely I'd offended the gods in some way or another and I was being forced to endure torture in response. I remember walking through the grocery store with tears in my eyes and feeling like I couldn't eat anything. The unfairness of it all seemed overwhelming.
But gradually I began to see it as a gift. I learned to cook everything from scratch – which saved a LOT of money, and made me very, VERY aware of everything I was putting into my body. The result was losing 40 extra pounds and enjoying wonderful health. But the thing is, I'm not sure I would have been able to stick with it if the penalty for falling off the bandwagon was some nebulous "health" concept. When the penalty for messing up is a trip to the emergency room, or a body covered with hives, it's much easier to comply!
I learned to cook from scratch from my parents. We sometimes had a meal where something came from a box but it was rare. I can remember staying at a friend's apartment with my husband and taking care of her daughters for the week. Supposedly she had sufficient food stocked up for all of us to eat for the week. I couldn't find it. All I found were side dishes in boxes: no meat or real veggies! I went out and bought some. I really thought I had misunderstood her. Nope that is what they ate all the time!! I was shocked.
I agree with Emma and EcoCatLady: real food ends up being cheaper than processed food. We are a family of 2 and this is pretty much the way we've been eating for a year and not only have we lost some weight, we are also spending less money on food.
We're preparing lunch boxes everyday which makes a big difference. We used to spend at least 10 € each on lunch every workday (eating out in Paris gets really expensive). Also, I guess we eat less because we mostly ingest "good" calories with plenty of nutriments.
This inspired me to act on something that has been an obstacle to eating more fruits and vegetables….getting to the market often enough since I hate shopping…so I googled and found a delivery service, and I will try all the local ones till I find the best one. I just chose their basic 'mixed box' of in season produce, as I figure I can work with whatever they send, and it should be better value. Thanks for the inspiration!
My first stop is always the produce. I always pick the same stuff, habit. I love the idea of a "mixed box" showing up at my door. Then instead of the same old-same old, I'd have to figure out what to do with what arrived. Probably would come up with some new favourites.
This was an awesome post. Because of it, I've found Jules Clancy and her blog. So many yummy recipes, I don't know where to begin! Thank you, Courtney!
thanks for mentioning my ebook! and it's amazing how many folks don't see the value in point #6 — i hear complaints all the time that whole/real food is expensive, typically being told to me while that person is drinking a $5 latte.
So true! Food the natural medicine or the slowest acting poison – we choose!

According to a study from Chicago-based Social IMPACT Research Center, one in three Illinois residents is living in or near poverty, more than during the Great Recession.
Currently in Illinois, almost 1.9 million people, 15 percent of the population, live in poverty, with another 2.2 million people close to the poverty level. In late 2007, when the Great Recession began, 12 percent of the state's population lived in poverty.
Locally, Winnebago County has a poverty rate of 19.1 percent. Of those living in poverty, only 61.4 percent graduate high school. Boone County's poverty rate is just 10.3 percent.
If the annual income of a family of four is under $23,021, they are considered to be in poverty. Half of Illinois residents in poverty do not earn half of that amount.
The data used for the study was based on the U.S. Census Department's 2011 American Community Survey.

Police want to trace man over Shipley robbery
Updated 8:39pm Friday 14th February 2014 in News
Detectives hunting a gang of hammer-wielding robbers who stole £11,500 during a raid on a Shipley store have named a second suspect.
A little over a week after releasing an image of a first suspect, police have revealed they want to speak to Lee Cameron about the raid at the One Stop shop in Bradford Road on Saturday, January 11.
Two masked men burst into the shop at about 6.52am – minutes before it was due to open.
The manageress was then made to let the robbers out of a back door, where a getaway driver was waiting in a dark blue vehicle.
Detectives believe there may have been a fourth man. Cameron, 32, of Bradford, is white, 6ft, stocky, and with fair hair. He is believed to still be in the Bradford area.
Call police on 101.

This is all part of the escalating 'hostilities' between Google and Apple as the companies move further away from any reliance on each other and set up camps which will leave the consumer to decide which side of the fence he/she is going to invest their money, time and effort.

Clever lost three starters from last season, among them top scorer Jordan Farmer (15 ppg, 7 rpg) and their important defensive playmaker, Michaela Hanafin (13 ppg, 9.5 rpg).
They also lost Maddie Baumann (13 ppg, 6 rpg) and their sixth man, Trista Davis.
According to Clever third-year coach Brandon Weiss, they will compensate for the loss in scoring potential with new players that have come up from Clever's middle school team.
"[Zwicky] is a good defender for us, she's quick and she's really good, but she's also really improved on her shooting and so we'll see her more on the scoring end of things," said Weiss.
The team will also feature senior Bailey Ghan (8.5 ppg), junior Mackenzie Burns (6.5 ppg), and sophomore Lexi Tennis (3.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg) as prominent offensive players.
Because Clever lost a lot of scoring talent, Weiss says the team will have to utilize more set plays and will not be able to do as many 'read and react' type maneuvers on the court.
"We've really changed a lot of things. With what we've lost we can't do a lot of what we used to do. We're going to be running more sets and more continuity style offense," he said.
Despite the changes in the offensive lineup, Clever will not be starting over from scratch on defense. They will, however, be adding a promising freshmen defender to the starting lineup.
Weiss says, "[Menzie] is a very quick guard. She's like a little nat on defense and she'll have to guard the other team's best ball handler."
Overall, the Clever girls have a modest outlook on this season according to their coach. They finished 19-6 last season and they are expecting a slight decline, but still plan on a winning season this time around.
Nevertheless, Clever has a tough schedule this season and have already lost 56-26 against Skyline—a game their coach predicted would be difficult to win.
"We just want to improve and that's our biggest thing. We lost those four seniors last year and that was the bulk of the scoring," said Weiss. "We'll just have to improve and as the year goes along hopefully we'll get better."
When asked who he would look forward to playing, Weiss said, "Crane is going to be a really good game; I always look forward to playing them. Also Sparta has a new coaching staff so that should be something different."

In recent months I found it a little tricky to find any really engaging computer or video games. Too many games were rushed to market, others were off-the-mill branded games with famous characters but no depth while others were full of promise yet also full of bugs or simply became boring and tedious all too quickly. Along came Monster Lab a new game from Eidos that is not only cute fun, but should also cater to all those classic horror film buffs among our readers because of it's unmistakable charm, harking back to the Golden Era of Hollywood horror movies in the 40s and 50s. As the title suggests, Monster Lab is a spiffy little game in which you can build your own monster - complete with a Frankenstein-esque laboratory and assistant - and send it out to brawl opponents, or finish quests to obtain additional traits and parts, which will allow you to improve your creation or to create a completely new one from scratch. Sounds like fun? It sure is. With an E/10 rating this game is also perfect for the kids, who have a tendency to enjoy 'building' stuff over and over again like there's no tomorrow. But don't be fooled, this is not a kid's game per se and can be thoroughly enjoyable for grown-ups as well. One of the best things about the game is also its pretty high production values. I've played it on the Wii and although this game was $10 cheaper than your average Wii-fare, this game looked and played better than most other titles I've seen in recent time. It is a game that has a solid design backbone and the technology to pull it through. So, if you're still looking for a cool Christmas gift for someone with a knack for classic horror movies, Monster Lab could be your ticket, so check it out the next time you're in a computer store.

Metro 2033 sequel teased
First details on the 3D-capable Metro 2034
Posted on Jun 30, 2010 - 10:36am EST (Jun 30, 2010 10:36)
A sequel to THQ's post-apocalyptic shooter, Metro 2033, is in development - and it'll be in 3D.
Speaking to CVG, THQ's core games VP, Danny Bilson revealed the exciting news that Metro 2034 will make up four games from the publisher to use 3D tech, which includes the original game.
"We're showing Metro 2033 in 3D right now, which Nvidia is showing as one of their key demo products," he said. "We're going to be doing a 3D version of that on Metro 2034 - the sequel. And there will be some engineering costs there, but that's in our lowest cost centre in the world. Those games are unbelievably reasonable, they're built in Kiev."
THQ also has 3D sequel, De Blob 2: The Underground on the horizon, plus a version of Saint's Row for the Nintendo 3DS.
"Some people were confused about why we'd go into a market where there's only one percent TVs," Bilson added. "It's about a great game and a plus up on the marketing side. We're there at low risk and high quality, but, again, we'll have to see how that market grows and what value is there."

Juan Miguel Ruiz Flores & Selene Gonzalez Carrillo, Ecotapatío
Guadalajara, Mexico is a sprawling city of 4.5 million people. It's the typical concrete jungle, with little thought to the environment. Yet there are hidden organic markets, vegetarian restaurants, bicycle organizations and many other exciting ecological alternatives. These options are not widely known and often inaccessible to people with lower incomes. Juan Miguel and the Ecotapatío collective including Martin Krabbe, Selene Gonzalez Carrillo and Katy Harris, seeks to develop a Ecotapatío, a magazine and website based highlighting sustainable options in Guadalajara. The website will launch in the fall of 2013 and the first issue of the magazine in January 2014.
They hope to create dialogue about important issues through the publication of thought provoking investigations on topics of sustainability in the city as well as providing a guide to sustainable living metropolitan area. The magazine will be free and they therefore hope to reach a wide audience, making a particular emphasis on promoting sustainable practices in the lesser-income areas of town. Not only a print and online guide – Ecotapatío will also provide ecotours, renting bikes and taking participants to get to know the "green" side of Guadalajara. Pollination Project funds will be used for start-up costs for the magazine and website project.

We were down at Sesame Place for A Very Furry Christmas a couple weeks before Christmas. We stayed at Radisson Hotel Philadelphia Northeast again for our family weekend get-away.
On the weekends during the holiday season, Sesame Place opens after lunch so we had a few hours to occupy – and we did it at the pool… the warm, bright indoor pool.
While we were at the pool, housekeeping came to tidy and organized all the girls' lovies for them.
(seriously, how is there room in the bed w all the stuffed animals they go to sleep with??) (and who is that giraffe/ball thing, where did that even come from???)
(and just like the other times, they deflated that Sleep Number bed as flat as it would go, they love sleeping in a squooshy pit!)
I do love that there are extra pillows stashed away in the rooms - I put one between the bed and the nightstand in case anyone gets flaily, and there's different firmnesses so everyone gets a pillow they like.
I had a panicked moment when I realized I didn't bring my hair dryer – those tiny little on-the-wall-jobs are no match for my wirey crazy mane. But good news!! The room we were in had a brand new full-sized hair dryer stashed in the closet. And my hairdo was saved.
Lots of pretty decorations, ready for Christmas!
We timed our weekend just right, Sunday the Radisson was having Breakfast with Santa!
Perfect! We had breakfast, hung with Santa, saw some dances by a local dance studio before we got on the road.
Frosted flakes, pancakes and a chocolate peppermint cupcake – dream breakfast of 7 year olds everywhere. There were plenty of tasty choices for the grownups, too. And a chocolate peppermint cupcake for mom.
The reception room was large and they had a great turnout. Santa took his time with all the kids and was especially patient with Little Girl who decided for some reason that she was not keen on sitting with the big guy.
He had a little chat with her and eventually she posed for a picture for mom.
(You know those sweet girls got every single thing they asked for and then some.)
It's a relief to have a place to go that's consistently clean, quiet with friendly folks working there. We're pretty low maintenence, it's nice to be able to just do our thing. Another great trip!

Disclosure: We received a discounted rate for our stay at Radisson Hotel Philadelphia Northeast – this post is my unbiased opinion of our experience. I'd be happy to answer any further questions you might have about this hotel, please leave a comment!

I'm in a 20 team dynasty h2h points league. My record this past year was 18-3, lost in the semi-finals. I'm looking to get rid of Furcal, since his value is diminishing quick in dynasty. I have an owner somewhat interested in him, who has Alcidies Escobar. I got an interesting offer from him.
I get: Alcidies Escobar, Jeremy Guthrie, Jake McGee (MiLB)
I give: Rafael Furcal, Gavin Floyd, Andrew Cashner (MiLB)
I already have Castro as my main SS, but this might be the best I can get for Furcal, especially in a dynasty league. I might counter or ask to tweak it up. But I see it as... Escobar >>> Furcal, Jones > Gutierrrez, Floyd > Guthrie. Jones and Gutierrrez are close to me, but I'd give the nod to Jones. Should I counter with Furcal/Jones or Furcal/Floyd for the other guys? I'm seriously considering it, but might ask to tweak.
Thoughts? WHIR as always
My roster looks as follows:
Major League Baseball (20 team h2h points dynasty league, 25 players, 4 DL)
C: Buster Posey
1B: Miguel Cabrera
2B: Howie Kendrick
3B: Adrian Beltre
SS: Starlin Castro

Because I Said So or: The Rise of One Million Mommies
Last week, I received an email from FemmeCon, informing me that my workshop, Mommy Will Take Care Of It: Channeling a Dominant Femme Identity Into Organizing, had been accepted for the 2012 conference. I'd been called up to the majors!
At last! My genius recognized! Presence acknowledged! Why, after this, I could retire from activism! Move to Santa Cruz. Start a Pinterest. Set my email account to auto-reply to everything with "Ah yes, those were the days, weren't they?"
Alas. Indefinite tours of duty lie ahead. After careful consideration of the logistics (i.e. writing Cost of traveling to Baltimore for weekend > Bank account on a sheet of notebook paper and staring at it intently until my staff meeting was over), I had to decline the invitation, as I lacked the resources to make the trip, and being steadily employed, I did not feel comfortable beseeching the community for assistance.
This may have been for the best. Right as I was writing my email to FemmeCon declining their invitation, I received an email from them, asking me if I would address the de facto assumption of "Mommy identity" in femmes and how some are not comfortable with that label put upon them.
This is a fair request. Perhaps the fairest of them all.
I still couldn't do it, though.
I mean, I could start my workshop by saying "hey, you know, the mommy identity is something that is thrust upon a lot of women and femmes, and I just want to acknowledge there is some tension and discomfort there for some"–
But the moment anyone asks me to elaborate on the discomfort or how do I reconcile that with being a radical queer and a feminist and did I transition just so I could assume traditionally patriarchal roles of womanhood OHMYGODIWASNTPREPAREDFORTHIS!
Maybe it's best if we just hash this out over the course of the next few months, in a series of controlled environments (see also: blog posts where I am the sole contributor of content), and once I've processed my excitement and angst around my identity, tart it up, make a zine out of it and let people digest my ideas in a a proof-read flavor.
You see.
I can't separate my Mommy identity from my trans, woman, or queer activist identities. They are not different facets of the same jewel, but, essentially, different names for the same thing.
I had "crossdressed" for much of my adolescent and adult life, and though I had always known I would, one day, need to break down the closet door or return to Narnia, the urgency with which my female identity needed to be validated was not apparent to me until my then-bottom began referring to me as "Miss" and "Madame" within a scene. I discovered and explored my womanhood in a dominant context, and for me, they are forever linked.
This is not to suggest I am not also submissive. The shit I want done to me gets me kicked out of IRC chatrooms. I do not, personally, subscribe to total power exchange or consensual non consent, which you can read more about in my acclaimed novel I ACKNOWLEDGE THESE THINGS EXIST AND WORK FOR OTHER PEOPLE BUT IT IS SIMPLY NOT FOR ME THANK YOU OKAY. I am very specific about I want. I want you to do this. And this. And that. And I want you to say this, in this tone, and if I react this way, please do this. Cis straight doms have a term for it, not a real a submissive, which translates, roughly, to "IN MY PENIS WE TRUST". To me, having such specific terms for the scene is a display of dominance, because it asserts that not only do I know and deserve what I want, but that I can handle it BECAUSE I'M A BIG GIRL AND CAN MAKE MY OWN FUCKING DECISIONS THANK YOU OKAY.
I'll pause this record and play another one, as I don't want to get too involved in my sex practices because that is not what I want to see reblogged on tumblr.
The moral of the story: I'M A WOMAN AND MY SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS I GET WHAT I WANT.
Mommy is intertwined with my womanhood.
Because for the longest time, I did not know why I was a woman.
I just knew that I was one.
I mean, I wear dresses, paint my face and go by she/her. But I know masculine-identified people who do that too.
I know why I'm a Mommy.
I'm a Mommy because I like to read aloud to lovers before they are tucked into bed. I make their favorite comfort food when they've had a hard day. I bestow gifts of coloring books on holidays. I swell with pride on the anniversary of the day they've stopped self-harming, and will continue to do so after we've broken up and stopped speaking to each other.
(Just so you know it's not all about the sex.)
I spend about 90 to 95 percent of my daily life feeling invisible, in some way or another. On the bus, in the office, at a party, nobody sees me the way I see me. Some of that is not being read as queer/trans, some of that is being systemically ignored/silenced as a woman, and some is just the widening of the gap between ourselves and everyone around us that comes with growing older/experience/aliens.
But when I am called Mommy by someone I, despite my aspirations of ice queendom, am compelled to love–
I am seen. In my entirety. I am suddenly visible. I am whole and tangible.
It's math. I do these things. Mommies do these same things. Ergo, I am a Mommy.
It was through the arithmetic of my Mommy-ness that I was able to find a list of objectives that allowed me to understand why I'm a woman.
A woman feels like a woman (whatever that means to her) when she does what she does, wears what she wears, fucks who she fucks.
I feel like a woman when I wear a dress, write poetry, receive an injection of estrogen, climax. Ergo, I am a woman.
Without realizing why I'm a Mommy, I would not have realized why I was a woman. That food is touching and can never un-touch.
Not to suggest that they neccesitate each other.
I know men who identify as Mommies.
I also know men who want me to be their Mommy.
I know a lot of people.
Is what I'm saying.
My Mommy identity is intertwined with my activist identity.
I reject this notion that it is up to the individual and the individual alone to provide their own "care" while engaging oppression. That shit comprises the essential privileged indifference that patriarchy and oppression needs to start its day.
If you sincerely believe that it's a failing on my part if I am unable to provide adequate self-care while organizing queer spaces/events, and think it unreasonable or wrong to reach out to others to ensure my needs are met, then tear down your Pride-approved vendor booth, drop out of your support group, and take down your Facebook event for your top surgery fundraiser.
We're either in this together or we aren't.
A better, more articulated argument on that can be read here.
My weapons of choice in the seemingly endless PvP game against the patriarchy are foot rubs, scrambled eggs, and owning a bed that is large enough for another person to sleep in it with me without us having to touch, if they need a place to stay for the night/week and do not wish to be cuddled to unconsciousness.
When you are in my neck of the woods, I will give you a place to crash and make sure you've eaten. I do this not only because we are friends, but to enforce solidarity, trust, and love within our community.
It's good for business.
This morning, at 8:30am, my friend LB came over to my house for breakfast. I made them eggs, toast, and fruit. My friend LB has a car. We know many queers who do not own a car. They ask LB to take them places. My friend does it because they care. They want to help out. Give what they can, though they are rarely, if ever, fed or given money in return for their help. It is very taxing. By making sure they've eaten breakfast every day, thus allowing them to do what they do for the community, I'm doing my part in helping the community help itself.
And yes, LB does drive me to work in the mornings. And we are best friends, so there is definitely something more to this relationship than communal supply-and-demand. But if you came to my house in the morning, I would feed you too.
Because I can. Because it gives me joy.
You think that's not caring for the community? You think that's not radical enough? That it's too domestic?
Go run and tell that shit to someone who hasn't had a home-cooked meal in a week. Ask the anti-transphobia blogger with the paypal donation button or the event organizer running their operation on their lunch break because they don't have a computer at home what they think about a hot meal or a ride to the grocery store as community support. See if they'll sign your petition.
I feel so strongly about this I have considered quitting my day job to host DIY skillshares and make zines on low-budget vegetarian cooking until I run out of money, get a job to pay the bills, rinse and repeat forever.
It does not demean my womanhood or my feminist rhetoric to put on an apron and make sack lunches for people attending a queer event–WHICH I HAVE DONE–but rather speaks to your internalized shame and phobia surrounding your gender politics.
You may think you're being helpful or socially conscious when you "warn" queer and trans women how their being too femme, too butch, too stereotypically girly or too non-normative is feeding the propaganda machine and impeding our efforts to be taken seriously.
You're wrong, in the same ways that believing that trans men belong in women's spaces and trans women do not is wrong. The same way making excuses for trans men accused of rape is wrong. The same way believing Kirk was a better captain than Picard is wrong.
Implying that to wear an apron and answer to Mommy/Mama, something that makes me feel empowered and secure in my identity, is in some way playing to the patriarchy, is in fact a powerful means of enforcing patriarchy.
Sometimes an apron is just an apron.
Scrambling an egg, fashioning a care package, rubbing a back–that is my activism.(As is performance art, organizing safe spaces for trans people and hosting workshops. Just making sure nobody thinks I'm retiring from those other things.)
Those are also things that Mommies do.
Vis-a-vis, I am not an activist who likes to play Mommy.
I am a Mommy activist.
(Though sometimes I'm unsure about the term "activist" because I feel that simply leaving your house and being visible in the world is activism, and I'm unsure of how me doing what I do makes me so special I deserve the title and others don't.)
And reckon. We are everywhere.
Having craft nights. Exchanging recipes. Picnicking on the beach.
Leading safer sex workshops. Advocating gender neutral bathrooms. Dancing.
If the American Family Association believes in a loving God, it should pray it never meets One Million Mommies. Don't think we won't come up there and put ya'll in time out.
I lack a womb and yet am every bit the mother you say I can never be. I don't need your permission.
I am creating something from nothing. Growing a new family tree in place of the many that bigotry, hate, and patriarchy (another example of different words for the same thing) had chopped down.
Creating something new, something stronger, to replace what is broken. Which is just another way to say "revolution".
Revolution is the family business. I am a revolutionary.
And business is picking up.
I'm not going to find a better way to end this piece, will I? I should just end on that, yeah?

THiS IS SUPER EXCELLENT WONDER POST!
I feel siblingly towards wayward queers, particularly young ones. Of course, I don't trust anyone over 30, including myself.
Care taking is the unpaid engine of queer activism. <3

Along with the state and national elections, voters on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation decided on new tribal leadership Tuesday.
The Shannon County auditor was skeptical turnout reached 70 percent, but voters turned out in droves.
The voters we talked to said both elections are priorities.
"We must work together to be able to move forward," said Tina Merdanian, an Oglala Lakota tribal member we talked to at a polling place in Oglala.
"There's so many issues on the reservation and nationwide that need to be addressed," tribal member David Renteria told us in Pine Ridge.
Those issues seemed to bring voters to the polls in greater numbers than previous elections.
Steven Slow Bear, working with the Oglala Satellite Elections Office, "noticed it's quite a big turnout."
As of early Tuesday afternoon, almost 130 voters had submitted ballots there. In Kyle, about 200.
And in Pine Ridge, numbers weren't immediately available, but the voters just kept coming.
"To me that was a whole lot from the last election," Slow Bear said.
There are 7,783 registered voters in Shannon County on the reservation.
The county auditor didn't expect the voter turnout there to reach 70 percent, as Secretary of State Jason Gant predicted for the state as a whole, but she said the combination of tribal, state, and federal elections really got people to the polls.
"I would like things to be better for health care and also funding for children for school," said Estelline K. Black Feather, who had just finished voting in Pine Ridge.
"Our population here on the reservation, speaking from my perspective, are becoming very educated into this process," Merdanian said. "They know that their voice is important."
Important to their lives, and the lives of the state and country as a whole.
"This year is an important year for voter," said Slow Bear

FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) was founded in 1989 to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. The not-for-profit public charity designs accessible, innovative programs that motivate young people to pursue education and career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills.
What is FIRST and its mission?
Our mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build STEM skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.
Why is volunteerism important and how does it help your organization reach its goals?
FIRST is truly a volunteer driven organization. With close to 27,000 teams in four robotics programs worldwide, it takes a large and diverse group of volunteers to make FIRST successful: mentors and coaches guide the kids on their teams, event volunteers make the hundreds of seasonal events possible and field volunteers continue to help FIRST grow season after season. Currently, FIRST has 100,000 volunteers, many of which come from companies like Raytheon.
What makes a successful volunteer?
FIRST engages thousands of adult Team Mentors and Coaches volunteering with young people ages 6-18. They have a variety of backgrounds including engineering, marketing, business skills and others, but all share in the FIRST commitment to inspiring in young people, their schools, and communities, an appreciation of science and technology, and how mastering these can enrich the lives of all.
How can volunteers get involved?
There are numerous volunteering opportunities with FIRST:
- FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC, high school)

Sony cuts the price of the PS Vita in Japan
Sony has announced that they will be cutting the price of the PS vita in Japan at the end of the month.
They are preparing to drop the price of the both the Wi-Fi model and the 3G model to 19,980 YEN which is around 139 GBP from the 28th of February. With the Japanese price drop coming so soon a Western price drop is surely not far behind.
It is worth noting that up until now the Vita has rarely sold more than 10,000 units in a week with the odd spike for releases like Persona 4: Golden.
The Vita does have a few big releases in the coming months including Phantasy Star Online 2 which offers cross-platform compatibility with the PC, Kenji Inafune's Soul Sacrifice and Tales of Hearts and hopefully these combined with the new lower price will help get the Vita moving in Japan.
Thanks GamesIndustry.biz.

My name is Lily Gilmore, and I was supposed to be getting married today. That was until I found my fiancé having sex with my sister in the church moments before I was supposed to walk down the aisle. I grew up with a father who was a womanizer and cheated on my mother every moment he had the chance.

But what Emma thinks she knows about that terrible night and the man she's about to marry is only half the truth.
"public secrets"
A woman in her 30s begins to question the routine and predictability of her days. In everybody's eyes, she has a perfect life: happy marriage, children, and a career.

As she rediscovers the passion missing from her life, she will face a life-altering choice.

Credit Risks in Banking of the Countries in Transitional Phase and possible Ways of Their Reduction in Croatian Banking System
AbstractPractically, there is no human activity without being connected with some form of risk. A complexity of the activity is in a close connection with the risk level and, as a rule, the greater complexity leads to a greater risk. The importance of risk is stressed to a large extent in some sectors, such as financial institutions, especially banks. Risk is not a unique category. The most represented type of risk in credit is a credit risk. It is possible to divide factors of risk emergence and defining, their reduction and control, into following: organizational, cognitive, and technical. A time gap between decision-making and investment influences the size of a credit risk. The length of credit structure influences the risk. The cognition of debtor's debt servicing potential, methods of coverage credit risk and indicators of credit risk growth are prime movers in risk management. The optimization of risk has its positive effect on the total economic efficiency, prevents negative allocation of resources into marginal and unprofitable programs. At the same time, the credit risk size depends on total macroeconomic moves and institutional conditions. Internationalization of financial and credit courses, as a general tendency, especially influences countries in transition.

As spreads of all colours blow out due to the perpetually unresolved sovereign crisis in Europe, FT Alphaville has been wondering what non-fundamental factors are driving these moves. The bond market is in some places broken and in other places potentially being driven by regulation.
To the extent that the market for credit default swaps influences the bond market, we ponder the technicals of these derivatives that reference it. Here we look at the role played by trades directly between banks and sovereigns. Read more

The sadness left by grief never goes away. At any moment, I am able to look into my grief spots and feel the sadness and emptiness left there by significant losses. Losing the child of your dreams is certainly one such loss.
There are many losses through life, and seen in a larger perspective, each loss adds meaning and depth to our lives. We all feel grief at various points in our lives but that does not minimize our times of happiness and joy. In fact, grief magnifies joy because happiness is so much sweeter after experiencing sadness.
One strategy is to do extra things that make us joyful so that the happiness in our lives balances or hopefully even outweighs the sorrow. It does not make the sorrow go away but it surrounds it with a cushion of good feelings and makes it easier to manage.
As we come to accept where our children are actually at and who they really are, we dream new dreams for them and for our families and these new dreams are much more likely to be based upon reality and therefore are more likely to be attainable.
When we once dreamed about having philosophical discussions with our child. We may now simply long to hear them call us mommy or daddy or say I love you…just once. Our dreams may have to give up on hearing our child talk altogether and focus instead on just having her look into our eyes and smile. When such new goals are reached, it is joyful indeed. This is not to say that sometimes we don't wish or long for that once dreamed of discussion. When we focus there, we may always feel sadness that those discussions will never take place.
Dreaming new dreams and rejoicing in new goals helps us feel happier in this new moment with the child we actually have. Nobody wants any hardship to befall their children. We may feel disappointment, guilt, and sadness when our child has a challenge that will make life, which is already difficult, even more so. We get through the adversity and we love our children even as we grieve and we celebrate their unique lives and the time we are given to be together.
From Dr. Robert Naseef:
Grief may come in waves and it may take you places you never expected to go. It is a normal and natural process, which comes and goes. First of all realize that you are not alone in this and that your feelings which run the gamut from fear, to guilt, to anger, and depression, etc. are just the symptoms of a broken heart. So go ahead and look at your grief. Observe your thoughts and feelings. Accept them and be kind to yourself about having them. It doesn't help to pretend to be positive when underneath you may be lonely, afraid, or sad. I have learned through my son's 26 years that you don't have to lie to yourself. You can grieve. You can complain. You can mourn. This helps you to go on, make the best of the situation, and enjoy life.
It is natural to wonder about what might have been. Your longing for the healthy child of your dreams or a typical life for you and your family may endure. You have to learn to live with that yearning, and you can do that, but you don't have to lie to yourself about how hard this can be.
It takes time to heal a broken heart, and the difficulties that you must cope with everyday are nearly constant reminders and may trigger your grief over and over.
Secondly, try to accept yourself as you are—a kind and loving parent doing your best with your child who is undoubtedly doing his or her best under trying conditions. A perfectly lovely child with special needs can be very hard to be with because of their behavioral, social, or communication issues. But people often believe that when you love somebody, you love to be with them. When you don't feel that and think you should, the guilt can be unbearable, and your heart aches. As you can accept yourself in a kind and compassionate way, your heart heals, and then the grief lightens. The sun comes out, and change is more likely.
Finally, accepting our pain and ourselves leads to accepting and enjoying our child and our family. This is the gateway to love and happiness. That deep connection that a parent feels with a newborn, or a child's first steps, or first words can be felt at any moment when we are truly aware and attuned to our child. That deep connection is alive inside you. As you rekindle it, you can actually experience very deep happiness. That's not to say that your life will be easy. But it can be happy and fulfilling.

Passing data from first form to the second form
12 March 2010 at 8:16pm Last edited: 12 March 2010 8:35pm
hi! i would just like to ask if it's possible to create two forms. like for example, in my first form,i have a pros,cons and recommend room fields while on the second form i have name, email,often play category(drop down) and gender fields.what i want is on the first form,upon clicking the submit,it will go the 2nd form and that 2nd form will catch the data from the 1st form. upon completing all the fields, that's the time that it'll be saved.
for example, here is my first method:
function UserReviewsCommentFormStepOne() {
// Create fields
$fields = new FieldSet(
new TextareaField("Pros","What did you like about this room?"),
new TextareaField("Cons","What did you not like in this room?"),
new OptionsetField("RecommendRoom",'Do you recommend this room?',array(
$actions = new FieldSet(new FormAction('UserReviewsCommentFormStepTwo', 'Submit'));
$validator=new RequiredFields('Pros','Cons','RecommendRoom');
$form = new Form($this, 'UserReviewsCommentFormStepTwo', $fields, $actions,$validator);
return $form;
and here is my second form that will catch the data from the first form:
function UserReviewsCommentFormStepTwo($data) {
if($data) {
$fields = new FieldSet(
new OptionsetField("Gender",'Sex',array(
new DropdownField("OftenPlayCategory",'The Categories: ',$this->getOftenPlayCategory(),$this->val( 'ID' ),null,true),
new TextField("Name","Your Name"),
new TextField("Email","Your email address"),
new HiddenField("Pros","Pros: ",$data['Pros']),
new HiddenField("Cons","Cons: ",$data['Cons']),
new HiddenField("RecommendRoom","Recommend Room: ",$data['RecommendRoom'])
$actions = new FieldSet(new FormAction('ProcessUserReviewsForm', 'Submit'));
$validator=new RequiredFields();
$form = new Form($this, 'ProcessUserReviewsForm', $fields, $actions, $validator);
return $form;
upon doing this(running this), i get this error:
[User Error] Uncaught Exception: Object->__call(): the method 'getviewer' does not exist on 'Form'
POST /UserReviewsWidget_Controller/UserReviewsCommentFormStepTwo
can anyone help me on how to solve this question of mine?thanks

In your UserReviewsCommentFormStepTwo since this is a controller action you need to return an array which passes the new form back to the template.
function UserReviewsCommentFormStepTwo($data, $form) {
// ...
$form = new Form(...
return $this->customize('Form' => $form);
The other thing you could do is have a seperate action on your controller then you pass the form data via the session
function doUserReviewsCommentFormStepOne($data, $form) {
Session::set('FormData', $data);
Then you would have a template ClassName_steptwo.ss with the other form. Or another option is to checkout the MultiStep Form module. Which is a pretty good module. Supports going back / forward etc. Might be overkill for 2 pages but it does provide a nice solution

Targe from Scotland, Europe. Collector not known. Purchased by the Museum in 1888.
This is a targe from the Scottish Highlands. It is a round shield of wood with loops on the back through which the whole arm could pass, leaving the hand free to hold a weapon. This example has a central brass boss and a pattern of brass and copper studs, the arrangement of which dates this example to 1700-1715, around the time of the Jacobite Risings that attempted to restore the Stuarts to the throne.

I wish I had high-quality images of the portraits for the NRG ninja! They look beautiful on the cards, and as always I wish the illustrator were listed on the cards so I could know who to credit for that brilliance. But in any event, CGI minifigures are still interesting enough to decorate my desktop. Glad you think I did a good job!
I was expecting a wallpaper with all of the NRG ninja portraits. Anyways, awesome job on this! I like how it looks like those actual Ninjago posters.

Vons helps La Jolla Concerts By The Sea
By Shelli DeRobertis
Free summer concerts begin Sunday, July 15 in Scripps Park at La Jolla Cove, and the show will go on thanks to help from the neighborhood Vons, which has agreed to wash the dirty hotdog pots after each concert.
This year marks the 29th season that the group, Concerts By The Sea, has presented summer entertainment, which also includes concession stands selling hotdogs, chips, ice cream, popcorn and sodas. The proceeds from the sale of some 500 hotdogs per concert are used, in part, to fund the shows.
But this year, during a pre-concert inspection for the annual permit, county health officer Laura Costello found that the single compartment sink used to wash the pots — and the temperature of the hot water — were out of compliance. The organizers were operating under the wrong type of permit all those years past; their permit was for pre-pack- aged foods only.
The news, sent via a health depart- ment notice, came as a shock to the concert organizers just weeks before the first show and sent them scurrying for a remedy. "All we have in the way of dishes are three hot pots and two sets of tongs," said Shirleymae Davis, president of Concerts By The Sea. "We've been washing them carefully for 28 years and no one's ever gotten sick."
Davis said there's a large sink in the storeroom at the park that was built by the group.
The new permit requires a larger sink and hotter water — at least 100 degrees for hand washing and 120 degrees for pot washing. The water used by Concerts By The Sea tested at 59 degrees.
Steve Spence, of the county Department of Environmental Health said suitable alternatives were offered, which included utilizing a nearby permitted food facility's ware-washing equipment to cleanse the dishes.
Concerts By The Sea explored that option, and the La Jolla Vons agreed to help out. The Vons on Girard is about a mile from the venue, and someone from the organization will transport the tongs and three large pots to be washed to the grocery store after each concert.
"We try to do what we can to be part of the community," said store manager Jim Luft.
The Jamba Juice inside the Vons has a three-compartment sink for washing, rinsing and sanitizing, which is a requirement for any restaurant, he said.
Marilyn Kowal, a member of Concerts By The Sea, oversees the food concessions and recently was shown how to use the sink.
The health department, which ultimately processed the Concerts By The Sea application, also requires the organization complete written procedures that outline the preparation and service operations.
"We are working with the sponsor, and proposed solutions will allow the event to proceed as planned," Spence said.
Laura DeBell, board secretary of Concerts By The Sea, said the solution is temporary and the group will likely be faced with the same issues next year.

This is one of my all-time favorite tips. We often use e-mail to request something from someone, or to tell someone that we will do something for them. By using the tip below, you won't have to worry ever again about forgetting to remind them if they don't respond. This tip will save an additional copy of your e-mail in a special folder called @Waiting For. That way, you can check that folder every so often to make sure the person got back to you. If they haven't, you simply go to @Waiting For, open the e-mail, click on Forward, and send it back to them as a new e-mail. You can say something like—"I know you're swamped, but I'm checking in to see if you've had a chance to [whatever you originally asked them to do]?" That way, they get a reminder which includes the original e-mail (text, date, etc.)!
