When voters approved a measure for the Town of Camp Verde in 2006 allowing it to collect development impact fees from new construction, there was extensive spirited debate on both sides of the issue.
Now the debate is moot, at least for the time being. The Camp Verde Town Council voted unanimously Oct. 26 to suspend the collection of impact fees in response to new state rules the council felt would make the fees more trouble than they're worth.
Development impact fees are charged when there's new construction, the idea being the money will be used to offset the demands increased growth will put on local infrastructure, such as streets, parks and law enforcement protection.
The moratorium on the fees takes effect Jan. 1.
The new rules, as outlined in Arizona Senate Bill 1525, require municipalities that collect impact fees to complete a new fee study by August 2014 or else the town wouldn't be allowed to collect fees anyway. The town would also have to replace its existing infrastructure plan to bring it in line with the new law.
That could cost the town of Camp Verde around $50,000, according to Camp Verde Community Development Director Mike Jenkins. This year, the impact fees the town has collected have been "minimal," Jenkins said. The town collected just over $2,600 in fees since the current fiscal year began July 1. The town has a total of just over $288,000 in its funds set aside for general government, library, parks and recreation and law enforcement, according to town documents.
Additionally, the new law places restrictions on how a local government can spend the fees it collects. For instance, the town could no longer collect money for use in building a library more than 10,000 square feet or the development of parks larger than 30 acres. Money can't be collected for general government services either or necessary services not outlined in the town's infrastructure improvement plan.
Money collected prior to the law taking effect can still be used for its original purpose, as long as the town spends it by 2020.
To avoid the expense and time it would take to continue to collect impact fees in compliance with the new law, the Town Council decided to stop collecting them altogether.
The town did look at a proposed impact fee collection plan development by the League of Arizona Cities and Towns but ultimately rejected going that route.
"The amount of money we would have to pay for this process … could cost more," Jenkins said.
Councilwoman Robin Whatley did express concern that by halting the collection of impact fees, which was approved in an election, the council was arguably subverting the will of the voting public.
Whatley said she felt development should help pay for the impact it creates, but added the state government was hampering how the town governs itself on the local level.
"The state, once again, is doing our job for us," Whatley said.
Mayor Bob Burnside said another council could revisit the idea of development fees sometime in the future when the economy is improved and development starts up again.
Burnside also suggested getting rid of the fees entirely instead of just placing a moratorium on them as a way to potentially attract business and development.
Either way, the moratorium would last until August 2014 when the current system would have been discarded anyway.

Tight end gets workout Aaron Wilson
The Kansas City Chiefs worked out former New York Giants and New England Patriots tight end Jake Ballard, according to a league source.
He recently tried out for the Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens.
Ballard has been working his way back tull strength following micofracture knee surgery and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction that he underwent last year.
Ballard spent last year with the Patriots on injured reserve and was waived by the AFC East franchise in August.
Ballard got hurt in Super Bowl XLVI while playing for the Giants against the Patriots and was cut in June of 2012 with the thought that he would go unclaimed and they could place him on injured reserve.
However, the Patriots claimed him last year.
The 6-foot-6, 275-pounder played in three preseason games in August and didn't record a catch.
For his career, Ballard has caught 38 passes for 604 yards and four touchdowns.

FOX 47 - Health News
MADISON (WMSN) -- More mothers are skipping the run to the hospital to give birth.
According to the CDC in the past 4 years, the number of home births has gone up 20%.
Wisconsin ranks 5th in the nation.
"I just progressed so quickly we just decided to stay there and have it in the tub," said Madison mom Emma Leeson.
For Emma Leeson - she prefers this over the hospital.
She says giving birth to her baby girl Dorian felt more natural at home, because she felt in control.
"At the hospital, as soon as you start pushing like 5 strangers come in the room to observe. Having had her here where everybody in the room was someone I invited personally," said Emma.
Her husband Michael says he felt very involved in this birth.
"It feels like birth is a health issue where as at home this was a celebration," said Michael Leeson.
"I've had births in teepees, mansions, tiny apartments," said Ingrid Andersson, Certified Nurse Midwife.
Andersson says home births put the woman at the center of the experience, allowing them to choose where they want to give birth.
"A lot of women are most comfortable in the bathroom because its a private cave like retreat," said Andersson.
Ingrid says its important to make sure the midwife you choose thinks about safety.
"We carry oxygen, IV and anti-hemmorage all those things identical to the hospital except it looks different because we're in the kitchen or bathroom," said Andersson.
Ingrid adds midwives need to have a strong relationship with area hospitals.

News : Faulkner replaces Henriques for first two ODIs
Players/Officials: Moises Henriques | Shane Watson
Series/Tournaments: Australia tour of India | Sheffield Shield | Australian Domestic Season
Shane Watson has declared himself ready to tour India as a non-bowling batsman after a single innings of 30 in Sydney grade cricket, but Moises Henriques' immediate international prospects have clouded over due to a badly infected right index finger.
It was a contrasting tale for the two New South Wales cricketers on Sunday, Watson returning to the game following a calf strain and facing 50 balls for Sutherland against Campbelltown-Camden while Henriques was invalided out of the Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia at Blacktown Oval.
If his innings was insubstantial, the sight of Watson merely playing the game will be a help to the national selectors as they sit down to finalise the squad for the subcontinent. While Watson will not play a first-class fixture before the squad is named, making do with a domestic limited-overs match for the Blues against Western Australia on Wednesday, he has continued to covet the opening spot currently occupied by Ed Cowan.
"The opportunity to be able to take the first ball and take on the quicks with the new ball is something I do absolutely love," Watson said, reiterating his desire to open. "A few balls were seaming around a bit [on Saturday] ... which hopefully I'm going to have to get used to opening the batting in some form of games anyway.
"Hopefully I can get back in the team as soon as I can. In a perfect world I do play in India as a batsman with an eye on slowly building up bowling to hopefully bowl some overs throughout the Ashes. But the world isn't always perfect so we'll see how we go."
Less encouraging was the news that Henriques' finger was in such a bad way that he had to leave the Blues' Shield match to have surgery on his finger, which had grown increasingly swollen and painful. Watson's inability to bowl in India has opened the field for all-round options, with Henriques impressing recently during his ODI appearances for Australia against Sri Lanka, and making 71 at Blacktown.
However his place in the ODI team to face the West Indies is now open to question, depending on his recovery from the finger problem, which is expected to stop him from playing or training for at least a week. The finger trouble was aggravated during his Shield innings by a couple of precisely-directed balls from Nathan Coulter-Nile, which struck Henriques on the gloves.
"Due to concern over increasing swelling and infection Moises was reviewed by a Sydney hand specialist this afternoon and has undergone a minor surgical procedure," New South Wales team physiotherapist Murray Ryan said. "Moises will be unable to play or train for at least one week. His availability for state and international cricket will be determined as the injury heals."

Chrysler to roll out new mid-sized sedan
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
Chrysler Group, LLC, has announced the release of the 2011 Chrysler 200, a line that will replace the Sebring. The mid-sized sedan is said to fill the gap left in the automaker's light-truck production.
Similar to the Sebring, the Chrysler 200 will include an array of upgrades such as improved powertrain and two engine options: the I-4 World Gas and the 3.6-liter Penstar V-6.
Arriving in dealerships by December, the 200 will also feature stiffened body mounts and an array of noise-reduction improvements such as acoustic laminated glass and upgraded rear sway bar. The line will be built at the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant in Sterling Heights, Mich., about 20 miles from the company's Auburn Hills headquarters.
Chrysler split the Ram truck name from Dodge as part of its 2009 bankruptcy and will market the brand separately from vehicles it manages with the Dodge badge. According to execs, the split has allowed Chrysler to focus on expanding the Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Ram lines. Although no pricing has been announced, insiders have speculated the 200 is expected to come with an MSRP of $22,00-$33,00, depending on options and engine selection. The 2011 Chrysler 200 will be available in five models, including two convertibles. Chrysler also announced that 200 dealerships will be selected later this month to sell the new Fiat 500.
Last year, Fiat took an initial 20 percent stake in Chrysler, broadening Chrysler's platform to build smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, and giving it access to Fiat's global branding network.

Reviews for Holly's Haus
Will do this againThank you for the use of your lovely home. Will do this again. The Taylor's (Guest)
We hope you are making plans to be our guest at Absolute Charm Luxury Bed & Breakfasts where our aim is to give you that perfect Texas Hill Country getaway you are seeking. Whether you are interested in spending the weekend with us or taking a longer vacation, we know the charm of Fredericksburg, Texas will captivate you. Please acquaint yourself with our Policies below. We look forward to having you as our guest!
Check in is at 709 West Main Street, which is a beautiful historic rock building right on Main Street on the west end of town. The sign in the yard says both "Tea Rose Quilts and Gifts" and "Bed and Breakfast Reservations". Look for the five king sized quilts prominently displayed in the yard; you can't miss us! Just park in front and come on in!
If arriving after 6:00 p.m. (or 5:00 p.m. on Sunday), you will find a box on the front porch containing an envelope with your name, map, receipt and keys to your suite/cottage. We look forward to seeing you soon!
For your protection and ours, we ask that ALL cancellations be made in writing. Simply respond to this confirmation and request your reservation to be cancelled. Your cancellation request will be handled in one of the two following ways:
We will email you a Cancellation Notice for your records once your request has been processed.
Pampering Packages or Massages must be cancelled at least 48 hours in advance or you will be charged the full amount. Please help us respect our vendors by giving ample notice should you need to cancel.
We are often asked if we offer discounts for groups who book all of one property. We do not offer such discounts, and in fact, we are sad to say we have had a lot of problems with groups in the past. More times than not, when groups have rented the entire Inn on the Creek, Queen Anne, etc., guests have actually taken food from our chef's refrigerator that was intended for the next morning's breakfast and have said, "Sorry, we raided the fridge last night; but we wanted a snack!" or "We looked around and found your candy stash and ate it all!" Groups almost always drink heavily and leave liquor bottles all over the property leaving our housekeeping team with double or triple the normal housekeeping load. It may seem that renting the entire building is "doing us a favor," but we almost never have a vacancy on a weekend and would have rented each room regardless. Accordingly, we expect groups to behave as individual guests do. We welcome respectful groups but are not looking to book these fine propeties to partiers. Please feel free to enjoy the full use of the facilities, enjoy the hot tubs, play cards in the common areas, etc. However, we ask that you treat these historic properties, not to mention our wonderful chefs, with the respect they deserve. If items are taken from the refrigerator, furniture moved throughout the property, excessive trash left around the premises, etc. a minimum charge of $50.00 per room will be charged to each member of the group's credit card. If items are broken or otherwise destroyed, the charge will be more than $50.00.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Money Orders, Cash and Absolute Charm Gift Certificates purchased from Absolute Charm. You will be required to hold your reservations with a credit card deposit. Your credit card will be charged upon check-in. If you are arriving after 5:00 p.m. (4:00 on Sundays) your card will be charged the balance and your receipt placed in your envelope with your map and key.
Your payment and personal informatino is always safe. Our Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software is the industry standard and among the best software available today for secure commerce transactions. It encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read over the internet.
The State of Texas and City of Fredericksburg impose 13% lodging tax on every stay. In addition, Absolute Charm charges and retains a 3% fee in exchange for the services we provide in facilitating your transaction. There is no additional fee for booking your reservation by phone versus booking online.
Will be provided at each property in accordance with what is listed on that property's page. Please check the property's page for information on the breakfast you will receive.
Moving from room to room for purposes of determining the length of your stay. For example, if you stay one night in one room and then move to another room that does not qualify as a two-night stay for purposes of receiving a weekday discount. As you can imagine, housekeeping costs skyrocket when rooms have to be completely cleaned from scratch daily. If you would like to move rooms during the week, you may do so but will NOT receive the weekday special price. If you choose to move rooms on a weekend due to your preference, you may only do so with a $35.00 per move fee to cover additional housekeeping costs.
If you want a one night stay
please call 866.244.7897
Please remember check in takes place at the Absolute Charm office located at 709 W. Main St, Fredericksburg, Texas 78624.
You will be given a map and keys to this property along with breakfast certificates (if applicable).

Defense Is Tired And Depleted
Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy hates the way the college football regular season stretches from August to December. OSU has its third bye week of the season this week. But the Cowboys defense needs this bye week to get ready for the Dec. 6 Bedlam game against OU, the team's last chance to get bowl eligible and extend the school-record bowling streak to nine seasons.FULL STORY
Is Gundy Wanting To Go To Florida?
There was some discussion at the back of the Oklahoma State team plane over internet reports that came out during the game that Mike Gundy was using back channels to make sure Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, who is basically a one-man search committee, knew he was interested in becoming the Florida head coach and succeeding the recently forced out Will Muschamp.FULL STORY

Bartanupalooza ContinuesSubmitted by pete on February 11, 2006 - 23:07
After a disasterous start to his North American junior career, Lightning prospect Marek Bartanus looks to have turned the corner. Tonight the young winger had a goal and two assists as Owen Sound beat Sault Ste. Marie 6-3. Bartanus had a paltry 4 points in his 31 games prior to playing for Slovakia for the U20 World Junior Championships. Since returning to Owen Sound, Bartanus now has 8 points in 11 games finally showing glimpses of the potential that made him a 4th round pick. Also, in Brandon, center Blair Jones had a hat trick tonight and two helpers as Moose Jaw beat the Wheat Kings 6-3. Jones now moves into a tie with Kootenay's Ryan Russell for 8th in the WHL in points with 63 in 55 games. With the three goals, Jones now has potted 28 this season. In his previous three seasons of junior he had just 26 goals in total.

Last week, members of the Council on American-Islamic Relations launched an investigation into a photograph on the Internet of a Marine mocking an Iraqi child.
The picture shows a Marine with two Iraqi boys, one of whom is holding a sign written in English that states the Marine killed the boy's father and impregnated his sister.
"If the [U.S.] Army is seeking to win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, this is the wrong way to accomplish that goal," said Nihad Awad, executive director of the council based in Washington, D.C.
The sign identified the Marine as a lance corporal, a rank that exists only in the Marine Corps.
Corps officials are investigating the photo, said Capt. Daniel McSweeney, a spokesman for the Marines.
GIG-BE win = ad blitz
Did winning the IP router work for the Global Information Grid-Bandwidth Expansion (GIG-BE) program last December give Juniper Networks Inc.'s officials confidence?
They released a new advertising campaign last month titled "Juniper Your Net." The ads blanket various publications and television airwaves, including CNN.
"When you 'Juniper Your Net,' you don't merely route packets, you transform them turning a commodity into competitive advantage, a cost center into a profit center, a liability into an asset, complexity into simplicity and chaos into stability," states a note on Juniper's Web site explaining the new ad campaign. "In short, it's your place of perfect connectivity."
Winning the GIG-BE contract did more than build company officials' confidence. The ad campaign indicates that it also fattened the company's piggybank.
Earning its stripes
The Pentagon is making its mark as a good workplace.
Earlier this month, readers of Careers and the Disabled magazine selected the Defense Department as public-sector employer of the year. They chose the agency "for its commitment to recruiting, hiring and promoting people with disabilities," said Jim Schneider, the magazine's director of editorial and production.
DOD employs more than 5,870 people with severe disabilities, about 1 percent of its 600,000-person civilian workforce. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued a policy last December requiring that the agency hire more workers with disabilities to bring the total to 2 percent.
"They're employed around the world in the full range of DOD's civilian occupations, from pipe fitters and mathematicians to clerks and engineers, from cryptographers and metalworkers to logistics technicians and maintenance personnel," said Clarence Johnson, DOD's principal director for equal opportunity.
AKO cynicism
Service officials boast that Army Knowledge Online (AKO) is host to 1.6 million users. The Web portal processed 1.3 million unique log-ins in March, said Lt. Gen. Steve Boutelle, the Army's chief information officer.
But the Interceptor received an e-mail from an Army Materiel Command employee questioning AKO's popularity. It "may be popular somewhere," the worker said. "But most of the people I work with logged on once or twice to get a user name and that's it. And if it's popular, why does it need standards?"
Officials in Boutelle's office intend to use the service's new Information Technology Enterprise Solutions performance-based contract to develop standards for the portal.
That's not a bad idea. The Interceptor acquired an AKO account Feb. 2 but never logged in and notified CherryRoad Technologies Inc. about the account March 17. The vendor, who helps the Army administer the Web portal, promptly closed it.

The South Fork Coquille River is the largest tributary of the Coquille River in coastal Oregon in the United States. From its headwaters in the Oregon Coast Range, the river flows northwest to join the North Fork Coquille River at Myrtle Point, forming the main stem Coquille. The South Fork is about 62.8 miles (101.1 km) long, and its watershed drains roughly 600 square miles (1,600 km2) of rural Coos County.
It rises as a small stream draining out of Eden Valley, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) miles northwest of Mount Bolivar in the Siskiyou National Forest. Picking up scores of tributaries, such as Wooden Rock, Clear and Panther Creeks, the river gains volume as it rumbles southwest into a deep gorge. At the confluence with Rock Creek, the river abruptly swings north, receiving Johnson Creek from the left a few miles further downstream. Now a fairly large stream, the South Fork winds through canyons to the confluence with Coal Creek before entering an alluvial valley near the small community of Powers.[3]
Below the city, the South Fork flows north through a canyon into another broad valley, now followed by Oregon Route 542, and passing Coquille Myrtle Grove State Park and Albert H. Powers Memorial State Park. About a mile downstream, Dement Creek enters from the left and the terrain around the river transforms from hills to farmland. As it assumes a meandering course, the river passes Broadbent, then the Middle Fork Coquille River, by far the largest tributary, enters from the right, marking the head of tide. A few miles onward, the river passes Myrtle Point and meets the North Fork to form the Coquille River, 36.3 miles (58.4 km) upstream of the Pacific Ocean.[3]
The South Fork Coquille River has two major waterfalls, situated in a steep and remote canyon just upstream of the first major northward bend of its course. These are the 35-foot (11 m) Upper Coquille River Falls,[4] and the much larger 110-foot (34 m) Coquille River Falls.[5]
The watershed is sparsely populated, with most of the people concentrated in the towns of Powers and Myrtle Point. Anadromous fish including salmon and steelhead inhabit much of the river, but some habitat has been compromised due to poor watershed management practices such as excessive logging and clearing.[6][7]

It's always fun to visit a farmer's market when the weather is nice, however some vendors say they've had a frustrating run this summer.
Pat Berg, a vendor from Tomahawk, is a 30 year farmer's market veteran. She says many farmers have been short on vegetables because of the cold, wet spring. However, another problem has plagued her farm as well -- deer.
"Our biggest problem are the deer," says Berg. "Even though we have fences all around our gardens, they manage to jump over them -- they want those vegetables too."
Nevertheless, she's hopeful to start selling potatoes and zucchini in about a week.
She says many vendors are leaving the market with left-over produce because there isn't enough business.

My siblings and I are supposed to get equal shares of Mom's estate which is a house. Then this new will pops up when she was suffering from mild dementia, under mediation, on a ventilator and in a nursing home. Original will disappeared. Sister who lived with her knew where original will was and she benefits more than the rest of us. More to this story but not enough room. I objected. Now I get no information and they will not speak with me. Is this legal because I ? will? Also the executor who is rich tried to get the Barrington Hills Police to bring me in to see things her way.

Haha I didn't quite have enough on my card when it got charged (whoops) but it still got charged, just went into overdraft as most CC's should.
I had to pay for mine November last year, up front, in full. Glad I did, and the store I got it from was great, because Blizzard reneged on their shipping agreement and Adelaide lost around 200 editions. The manager of the store I buy from managed to find one for me. For those of you in Adelaide, Berlin Wall is the best! I'm very happy with them.
I saw that there was a $203 deduction from my card and almost had a seizure thinking that something else had taken my money, but thankfully it was just Mighty Ape. Phew!
I've felt the same about some past transaction, wish they showed the name of the company on the transaction list (or provided the option to, as a privacy toggle, if that's an issue for people).
I cancelled my mightyape CE a few days ago (just getting regular version), hopefully one of you fine people got it instead :)

Haha, that popped up on my "You might also like..." a few days ago with a PRICE, and I was thinking "wtf, they stopped selling that long ago"
Wonder if it's related :P

The most emailed article on the New York Times right now is "You Love Your iPhone. Literally," an OP-ED by Martin Lindstrom, a "branding" expert. The jist of the piece: Lindstrom claims people are in love with their smart phones, not addicted to them. His evidence? When people think of their phones, an area of the brain called the insula becomes more active. He says the insula activation indicates feelings of affection. And if you want to kiss and cuddle with your phone, you aren't addicted. I supposed that is supposed to make us feel better about checking our phones before we get out of bed in the morning (something Lindstrom confesses to).
The article is being pilloried by other science journalists and neuroscientists (for a sampling, see David Dobb's "fMRI Shows My Bullshit Detector Going Ape Shit Over iPhone Lust" at Wired.com and Neuromarketing means never having to say you're peer reviewed,but here's your NYT op-ed space" at the Neurocritic Blog.) Their main gripe is that the insula may be activated by things people claim to love, but it's involved in many emotions and cognitive processes. You certain can't make the nuanced claim Lindstrom argues based on the limited neuro-evidence he presents.

When the beast prowl
Kashmir the paradise on earth! The land which attracted and impressed people to such an extent that someone once said, "if there is paradise on earth, its here, its here, its here." However, the eighteen years old conflict has pushed Kashmir into the darkness of suppression and human tragedy. The continuous violence and subjugation has ended the calm of people.
These cataclysmic changes have compelled many people to survive on the terms and condition of dominant forces.
Here everyone has his own tragic story to narrate. Some people cry, some carp while others bear the agony in silence and solitude.
Recently I met one such bruised soul Abida, 28, resident of Baramulla. When Abida was seventeen, she was compelled to take a consequential decision of her life and that left her crippled for ever.
It all started when Sajjad Abida's brother joined a militant outfit in early 90's. He was overwhelmed with the zeal and enthusiasm for doing something for Kashmir and soon he became a part of a leading militant outfit. Though his parents and sister never wanted him to be a militant but Sajjad clearly told to his parents that he knew what he was doing and nothing can stop him.
As it happens in insurgencies, the counter insurgents always lay traps for such individuals and one such trap was laid against Sajjad and his family. Sajjad fell into a police dragnet. He was definitely a big catch but was not immediately caught because there was a reason and the reason was Sajjad's sister Abida.
As a part of the routine counter insurgency operation the army and police made it a point to visit the house of those who were involved in under-ground activities and hence Sajjad's house was always a target.
Exploiting the fear of Sajjad's family the police top gun (whose name Abida does not want to disclose as she fears for her parents now) made a 'deal' with his family. The officer offered not to kill or arrest Sajjad for which he wanted family to please him by offering Abida to live with him for one year.
It was a painful decision (words actually fall short) for Abida, as she was then dreaming of a prosperous and dignified life. Propitiating her chastity, on the alter of fear was the worst thing that could happen to her. Her brother was her life and how could she let him slip into the hands of death. So she decided to 'trade' herself off for her brother and stayed with the police official for one full year.
Sajjad was still under the watchful eyes of police officials. He never came to know about the 'deal' being made between his sister and the police officer - the ultimate sacrifice that his sister made for his freedom.
For a year police officer kept mutilating the innocence of the girl and she, with no other alternative, went through the torture. Every night she went through a physical and psychological trauma. This type of torture did not end fast and for Abida each day was like a never-ending pain. But finally when the ordeal did come to an end she was set free and allowed to go. May be they no longer needed her.
But Abida was not the same as she used to be. She had been mauled by the beasts. But somewhere deep in her heart there was a feeling that her sacrifice could save the life of her brother.
When she reached home, her brother Sajjad was puzzled to see her. He wanted to know where she was all the year. No doubt it was hard to tell him about this painful reality but Abida did it. She explained him what the year had been to her.
Sajjad stood paralyzed after hearing her sister. He did not know what had hit him. He never expected that any sister in this world would under go such horrible thing, just to save the life of her brother.
Two days later when Sajjad left home for some work, while walking through a narrow lane of his locality, some unidentified gun man came and shot him in the middle of his skull from his back. The game of his life was all over in a minute.
Soon the news spread that Sajjad has been shot dead. Abida first could not believe it. When she ran towards the spot, she saw her brother lying in a pool of frozen blood. Her entire world collapsed. It was a frightening end of the game that destiny had played. The memories of the terrible and the horrifying year came rushing to haunt her. That moment Abidaa lost all - her brother, her sacrifice and her honour…
Terror tale
SHazia -
I almost could not bring myself to comment on this story because there are no words to describe the feeling of having this tale of terror hit your insides. And yet, you have brought it to light with searing poetry for that I commend you. It is a priviledge to hear your voice here. Thank you.

Shazia, Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing your words with us, and for providing this devastating glimpse into Kashmir. I hope you will decide to share this same post in the Hope in Kashmir: Sharing Our Stories group, found here: http://worldpulse.com/pulsewire/groups/5887

Art Lesson: Georgia O'Keeffe Watercolor
Georgia O'Keeffe Watercolor
Submitted by: Ken Schwab, formerly of Leigh High School, San Jose CA
Objectives: Students will
Georgia O'Keeffe - This star-studded movie is about the artist's life. Celebrated photographer and art impresario Alfred Steiglitz is shocked to learn that the extraordinary drawings he has recently discovered were rendered by a woman. Deciding to display the work of then-unknown artist Georgia O'Keeffe in his gallery without her knowledge, the fiercely private artist orders him to remove the collection.
Georgia O'Keeffe - This is the documentary of O'Keeffe by Lifetime television.
Great Women Artists: Georgia O'Keeffe - The program provides an in-depth look into her life, and includes numerous examples of her works while examining her style which made her unique in the world of art. This original program also features spectacular imagery and many rare historical photographs.
Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Collections - Georgia O'Keeffe has been the subject of many fine art books, but this generously designed volume is a standout. Published to mark the tenth anniversary of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, it showcases 335 works.
Georgia O'Keeffe and New Mexico: A Sense of Place - This book catalogues O'Keeffe's work in side-by-side comparisons of 20 paintings with recent, commissioned, full-color photos of their actual sites, which pinpoint the exact perspective of the paintings.
Optional: Experimental Watercolor Techniques.
1. Look at the work of Georgia O'Keeffe and discuss the use of cropping down the format and looking deep into the flowers for the composition.
2. Using live flowers in class make several contour studies of the flowers or groups of flowers. Make them large, such as 11" x 14" (28 x 36 cm). Optional: After you draw the contours crop it down with a ruler so that the background or negative space is reduced and you could even have some areas stick outside the format - See example.
3. Transfer with graphite onto Illustration Board. Keep the lines light.
4. Demonstrate three watercolor techniques, Wash, Wet on wet, and Lifting (gradation). Use paper towels to dry up the brush for the lifting technique. Practice a small area of the composition by transferring a small area on scrap board. I have them do this for a grade.
5. Start when ready using many layers of color to bring out the transparency of watercolor.
6. Critique student work
Suggestion: Contact a local florist for flowers. They may provide them as a public service - good PR for them. Credit the florist them when you post the or display the work. If real flowers are not available, get an assortment of quality silk flowers that you can use from year to year. If you plan on doing this lesson from year to year, have students take photographs of flowers, or photograph some yourself.
Materials needed:
Assessment: (sample rubric adapted from Marianne Galyk)

Using Pastels - work from Ken Schwab's High School students
Follow the same procedures substituting pastels. Student work on colored paper for best results. Work large. I imagine these drawings are close to 18" x 24" (46 x 61 cm).

He's speaking today

He'll be talking about auditing the Fed and more importantly auditing the Pentagon.
Many, many people on the DailyPaul seem to be ignoring the fact that Ron AND Rand helped get many new things into the GOP platform including internet freedom, auditing the fed, a gold standard, the need for a warrant for every drone flight, and many other good things. I honestly don't think any of this would have happened if Rand hadn't endorsed Romney. The GOP still hates Ron Paul, disrespects him, and would prefer to only have their Neocon agenda going forward.

Dykes On Bikes Cruises Ferndale And Beyond
By Shelby Clark Petkus
Originally printed 5/29/2014 (Issue 2222 - Between The Lines News)
With the sun finally making a regular appearance, it's time to get out into the good weather. What's a better way than to hop on a Harley and cruise to Michigan's Pride fests with Dykes on Bikes?
The LGBTQ women's motorcycle club, Dykes on Bikes Detroit, began in 2008 with Heather O'Brian as president, Marianne Waugh as vice president, Tracy Brown as treasurer and Ronda Wright as secretary.
The women worked for a number of years to get the Detroit chapter approved from the "mother club" in San Francisco. As a whole, Dykes on Bikes has a large Facebook following, 17 patch holding members and is steadily rising as a prominent lesbian group both locally, nationally and even internationally with chapters in Australia.
Since then, Wright has become president, with Duffy Williams coming on as secretary and Wendy Berry serving as the group's Sargent of Arms. Former president, O'Brian, was granted lifetime membership after her retirement in 2013. It's considered the highest honor and recognition given to any active member. According to Wright, to even be considered for the achievement, one must be a senior member, having served five or more consecutive years of membership. In addition, Wright says said member must "have provided an influence on the club that may not have been otherwise achieved and be approved unanimously by the standing board."
The group's official mission is "to support philanthropic endeavors in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and women's communities and beyond, and reach out to empower a community of diverse women through rides, charity events, Pride events and education."
Dykes on Bikes is open to all age groups, and all are open to ride motorcycles with them provided one is endorsed and insured. Though the law in Michigan has changed to allow bikers to ride without helmets, Dykes on Bikes considers it a must when riding with them. An emphasis on no drinking, drugs or "horsing around" is also critical to riding with the women.
Membership requirements include voting for the board and riding in at least one Pride festival with the Dykes on Bikes patch displayed on a black vest.
Over the last six years, the group has grown to help the community, including the Ferndale area, through volunteer work, donations to local charities and other forms of support for charitable organizations.
Much of the group's support is seen with the women's presence at Pride festivals. Dykes on Bikes will be riding in the Motor City Pride parade on Sunday, June 8. The group will have a booth at Ferndale Pride on Saturday, May 31 as well as a stall at Motor City Pride on Saturday, June 7.
All rides begin at Affirmations in Ferndale, including an upcoming ride to World Pride in Toronto from June 27-30. Other upcoming rides include a Windover ride from July 18-20 and their most popular ride to Cement City at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17. Fall rides include one in September that will be determined by July and one on Oct. 5 including a chili cook off in Plymouth.
Wright lets prospective members know that the group isn't limited to Michigan's relatively short period of good weather. "We don't let the fun stop when the weather gets cold. We plan various social events for the group, and we have a yearly holiday party. Our vision is that this organization grow long into the future and continue to be a supporting faction for the LGBT community."
Dykes on Bikes meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of every month in Room 201 at Affirmations, 290 W. Nine Mile Road, Ferndale. Follow Dykes on Bikes' rides by visiting http://www.dykesonbikesdetroit.com or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.Many of Dykes on Bikes meetings and rides can also be found in BTL's calendar at www.pridesource.com/calendar.html.

West Mifflin man charged with threatening students with a gun
Police have filed charges against a West Mifflin man accused of threatening students with a gun as they waited for their school bus.
Bryce Vargo, 32, is charged with violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, caring a firearm without a license and impersonating a public servant in connection with the incident, which police say occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on Thursday in the area of Elmwood and Adams avenues.
Students reported that a man in a silver Chevy Trailblazer threatened them as they were walking to the bus stop in the borough's Mortain Plan. The students told police the driver swore at them, told them to get off the road and identified himself as a "cop."
Vargo is accused of placing his handgun on his lap in front of them.
Vargo reportedly left when the students' bus approached.
Students reported the incident when they arrived at West Mifflin Area Middle School.
West Mifflin police said Vargo is on probation and that probation officers helped investigate the incident, which resulted in Vargo's arrest at approximately 5:15 p.m. on Thursday.
In November, Vargo pleaded guilty to a count of reckless endangerment of another person stemming from a February 2012 incident in Pittsburgh. He was sentenced to 15 months of probation by Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Judge Kathleen A. Durkin.
Vargo is being held in Allegheny County Jail on $100,000 bail.
