Biology, Cuba, and an Idea for a Book…
November 23, 2014
Welcome to Janet L. Greger!
I first met Janet at a PSWA conference in Las Vegas a few years back, and most recently talked with Janet at this year's conference. In line with so many writers I've met at PSWA, Janet is an intelligent and sharing author with a most interesting background (a former biology professor!) I'm so pleased to welcome Janet L. Greger to my blog today. She's sharing some personal thoughts based upon her travels in Cuba–and explaining how the idea for her novel Malignancy came about. So interesting to hear how ideas and books materialize for another author…
A Locale with Personality: Cuba
Cuba is changing.
Among the propaganda spouted by my Cuban tour guide in 2013 was the statement: Cuban scientists had patented a drug for cancer. When I got home, I found researchers in Havana had patented a therapeutic cancer vaccine to treat a rather rare type of lung cancer (non-small cell). In essence, the drug is supposed to rev up patients' own immune systems to produce cells to slay the cancer cells without injuring the normal cells.
This patent demonstrates several facets of modern Cuba. Cuban scientists are doing competitive science. The Cuban government recognizes the importance of commercialization of their research. My guide's comments suggest many Cubans think science and economic changes are important parts of their future. Yes, they're proud of Che Guevera but they are ready to move on.
The U.S. response to Cuba is surprising.
First off, I was amazed by the tons of consumer goods being flown by American Airlines from Miami into Cuba daily despite the embargo. I bet you'd be amazed, too, if you saw the baggage check in for flights to Havana.
I was also surprised to learn hundreds of Cuban scientists and artists had participated in non-U.S. government-sponsored exchanges already. Now U.S. scientists are trying to get U.S. government sponsorship of scientific exchanges. (Check out the editorial "Science diplomacy with Cuba" in the journal Science on June 6, 2014.)
My trip to Cuba turns into the thriller Malignancy
Realistically the U.S. government might send (in the near future) scientists to Cuba to establish government-sponsored exchanges between the two countries. Scientific exchanges were one of the early steps in the normalization of our relationship with China in the 1970s. I thought Sara Almquist, the epidemiologist and heroine of my previous medical thrillers Coming Flu and Ignore the Pain would be the perfect protagonist to do a little "scientific diplomacy" in Cuba.
I wanted readers of Malignancy to see more of Cuba than its scientific aspirations. So I have Sara slip into La Floridita Bar, made famous by Hemingway, in Old Havana to meet a mysterious Cuban. Is he just a potential colleague, a spymaster, or both?
I suspect most Americans, including myself, know less about Cuban history than they realize. Accordingly, Sara discovers interesting quirks of Cuban history, as well as clues about those who are trying to kill her in Albuquerque, while she explores historic Colon Cemetery and Plaza de la Revolución in Havana.
Hopefully, you are now eager to learn more about Cuba and Sara's predicament. Then you can decide if the personality of Havana matches your expectations.
Men disguised as police officers shoot at Sara Almquist twice in one day. Albuquerque police suspect Jim Mazzone, a drug czar who has tangled with Sara before, will order more hits on Sara. Thus when colleagues in the State Department invite Sara to arrange scientific exchanges between the U.S. and Cuba, she jumps at the chance to get out of town and to see the mysterious Xave Zack, who rescued her in Bolivia. Maybe, she should question their motives.
I bet many readers purchased a copy of Clavell's Shogun before they traveled to Japan and reread sections of The Da Vinci Code before they visited Paris or Scotland. I dislike winter, but Smilla's Sense of Snow made me want to visit Greenland. I'm hoping readers, who want to "see" more of Cuba than vintage American cars, will read my new thriller Malignancy.

JL Greger is no longer a biology professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, instead she's putting tidbits of science into her novels. In the suspense novel Coming Flu, learn whether the Philippine flu or a drug kingpin caught in the quarantine is more deadly. In the medical mystery Murder: A New Way to Lose Weight, discover whether an ambitious young "diet doctor" or old-timers with buried secrets is the killer. In the thriller Ignore the Pain, feel the fear as an epidemiologist learns too much about the coca trade while on a public health assignment in Bolivia.
She and Bug, her Japanese Chin dog, live in the southwest. Bug is the only non-fictional character in her novels.
Thanks, Janet, for a lovely visit!
The "Serendipity" Factor…
November 13, 2014
The two main ingredients for this little blog are: 1) The first Saturday of November every year the Newberry Springs Chamber of Commerce sponsors a local Pistachio Festival, and 2) I've been asked more than a few times, where do your ideas come from?
On the festival front, this year as I was driving down early in the morning to the Community Center to set up, I was bemoaning the fact the High Desert California Writers Club was also sponsoring a great writer's conference this morning–and I wished I could be in two places at once. It's about eight miles from my house to the festival on a desert-rural paved road, and as I passed a dormant alfalfa field, my thoughts were immediately drawn to that field. Indeed, I thought it looked a little different. I don't know what actually caught my fancy, but I guessed the field was being started back up–and as so many spots have done before, that field reached out and grabbed me. "Write about me, write about me…"
The actual festival was great, including hugging and shaking hands with a lot of people I only see once a year, some I see often, strangers, and of course people who bought my books!
By Tues, my husband and I both came down with colds. Alas, probably from someone I hugged. Then, during this last week I ran out of cough drops and more…
Being in two places at once, an alfalfa field that reached out and "grabbed me," catching a cold from an unknown person, being out of cough drops and running out of stuff… Then add the magic ingredients of murder and "what if?"–and we have the start of a cake-of-a-story. All makes sense, right?
I wrote the basic synopsis for The Well last night, and it's on my BTBWL – Books to be written list.
Welcome Marilyn!
November 9, 2014
You've heard me say it before, but I can't say it enough, Marilyn Meredith is a guiding light of inspiration for me. I've followed her lead in many areas, which meant trying a lot of things, because Marilyn does not hesitate to "go do it!" I love her Tempe Crabtree series, and so glad I can post about her new book. Today Marilyn offers us some thoughts about her and Tempe.
My Relationship with Deputy Tempe Crabtree
Though Tempe is my creation, I've watched her change and grow through each book.
I often tell people that though I've been married to my husband for over sixty years, most of the time I have no idea what he's thinking. With my characters, since I get inside their heads to write about them, I do know what they are thinking.
Most of the time, that is.
There have been times during this series that Tempe has done something that totally surprised me. Yes, I know, I'm the one who is writing what she sees, feels, hears, and does, but sometimes when I'm putting together a scene, I think she's going to do one thing and she kind of takes control and does something different.
I've learned about Tempe with each book. There were some things about her that I wrote, but had no idea why she felt the way she did, but the cause or what happened in the past would be revealed to me as the I wrote the next story about her.
Though each one revolves around a mystery or a crime, usually a murder, things about Tempe's earlier life often influence what she does or how she does it.
I know Tempe is a fictional character, a person who only lives in my mind, but when I think about her, it seems to me that she is real. She is as real to me as anyone I know—and frankly, I know her better than I do any of my friends.
So what you'd call this relationship I have with Tempe, I don't know, but it's one I hope to have for a long, long time. (I'm counting on it, Marilyn!)
While filming a movie on the Bear Creek Indian Reservation, the film crew trespasses on sacredground, threats are made against the female stars, a missing woman is found by the Hairy Man, an actor is murdered and Deputy Tempe Crabtree has no idea who is guilty. Once again, the elusive and legendary Hairy Man plays an important role in this newest Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery.

G-Unit leader 50 Cent put his love for boxing on full display last night (June 19) in Hollywood at the Los Angeles Film Festival for the premiere of his new Tapia documentary.
According to reports, boxing icon Sugar Ray Leonard and others came through to show Fif some support.
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson stepped into his new role as documentary producer at the premiere of Tapia at the Los Angeles Film Festival on Wednesday night. The film focuses around the life of late boxer Johnny Tapia and features interviews with Mike Tyson and Tapia's family. Boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard showed up to lend his support to the hip-hop mogul. (Rap-Up)
Buzz behind Fif's involvement and the project's content surfaced online earlier this month.
Rapper-actor-producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is assuming a new role — documentary producer, partnering with Lou DiBella to acquire rights to "Tapia." DiBella's newly minted BK Blu Productions and Jackson's Cheetah Vision Films have joined to present the film, a look at late boxer Johnny Tapia. It's a Synthetic Creatures Production directed by Eddie Alcazar in association with Eric Drath's Live Star Entertainment. "Tapia" will have its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 15, then screen again on June 18. "Tapia" explores the boxer's mastery with five world titles in three weight classes and his personal demons, including his mother's kidnapping and murder when he was 8 years old and his drug addiction and near death experiences. Alcazar was filming Tapia in the weeks before the fighter's death last year at age 45. (Variety)
The New York rapper also discussed what motivated him to sign-on to the documentary.
"I was drawn to the intensity of this project," he said. "His story resonated with me because like Tapia, I too lost my mother to violence and grew up with limited means. It's a heartfelt story and it was important for me to get involved with bringing this to a broader audience." Jackson told Variety he will be looking to find distribution for "Tapia" during the film festival. He admitted that he was surprised to find himself in the documentary business. "This wasn't exactly on my list of things to do but I'm always looking for new areas," he said. (Variety)
50 recently revealed plans to possibly put out a reality show based on his love for boxing.
Jackson's fighters are all talented, but not many people outside of boxing have heard of them. So now he has to draw on the marketing genius that made him a millionaire in hip-hop, apparel and even flavored water. He's making certain that Gamboa, a Cuban defector, learns English. He's scheming up a TV reality show, a la The Ultimate Fighter. He also intends to change the current fight card paradigm. "I want to do away with the main event," he says. "I want the entire card itself to be the main event. Not just the last fight." Another thing he gets: the power of his own Q rating. "Due to the competitive nature of hip-hop, there are people who want to see 50 Cent fail," he says. "So those people will tune in to see if Billy Dib loses — and that's a vital connection through pop culture." (ESPN)

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

The City of SeaTac announced Tuesday (Nov. 25) that AVS Communities will be building the 'Reserve at SeaTac,' a 289-unit apartment complex for seniors in the Angle Lake Station District.
The project is located at 19707 International Boulevard, just three blocks from the Angle Lake light rail station, which will begin operations in 2016.
The site is a former car sales lot.
The Angle lake Station will include a 10,000 square foot public plaza and 2,500 square feet of commercial space as part of the parking garage complex.
Construction of the apartments is scheduled to begin in early 2015 with completion by summer of 2016.
This announcement follows just weeks after Wright Runstad unveiled its plans for a major mixed-use transit oriented development in the same area.
Christopher Santoro, President of AVS, says that the apartment communities they develop provide "amenity rich affordable housing options for seniors that include balconies, indoor pools, fitness centers, social rooms, business centers, private dining rooms, activity and game rooms, and open space." "The SeaTac site attracted us due to its central location between Seattle and Tacoma and the excellent access to transportation alternatives for our residents and their visitors." Adding that: "being in the middle of an exciting new transit district and providing a catalyst for other development helps with our goal of community building."
The project is being financed by the East West Bank and Alliant Capital who have also worked with AVS and its predecessor company, Vintage Housing to develop similar projects in the region.
"We are very excited and pleased to have the new station district selected for this project and to have more quality, affordable housing options for our community," said SeaTac City Manager Todd Cutts. "With the plans by Wright Runstad and new hotel projects in the area, this location is proving to become what we always knew would be an excellent place for all types of real estate development."]]>

The City of SeaTac has kept many of the same city permit fee schedules since incorporation in 1990, and the City Council was last week briefed on proposed new permit fees and, in some cases, dropping fees altogether.
Homeowners would get a percentage rate reduction on permits for home repairs under the proposed plan and all fees would be more harmonized with neighboring cities.
The changes were outlined in a presentation at the Council study session on Nov. 12 – moved from the normal Tuesday date because of the Veterans Day holiday.
The Council voted unanimously to put the fee proposal up for public hearing and expected adoption and at the Council's next regular meeting on Nov. 25.
Inconsistent fees
Many of the circa 1990 service fees remain behind market averages while others have been revised more frequently "in response to national codes or other Council actions" with resultant inconsistencies, said Joe Scorcio, the director of community and economic development.
Some fees were recommended to be dropped entirely, for example a $30 fee for mailing out Council weekly agendas and an annual $250 fee for mailing out Council meeting packets.
"Everything is online (on the Internet) so we don't use it and we recommend dropping it," Scorcio said.
But new fees were added.
For example, a new fee of $300 was added for a developer's pre-application fee to "cover a high developer-related activity area which involves many hours of staff time from multiple departments."
Surrounding cities charge this fee to cover the cost of city staff taking time and meeting to discuss potential projects with the variety of city departments that may be involved, said Scorcio. Sometimes the meeting results in a decision that the project is not ready to proceed, other times potential problems are found early in the process.
Harmonizing with neighbors
In addition, they checked and tried to harmonize the fee schedule with neighboring cities where fees are often much different in costs to homeowners and contractors.
Rezone requests now in SeaTac have a complex variable fee schedule that ranges from $1,500 to $50,000.
Scorcio said the proposed new fee would be a flat fee of $7,050.
Short plat requests are a "high volume area for the city," he said. They are sub dividing one parcel into four lots or less, he said.
"That is a primary development activity in the city – it's what happening in SeaTac. Again, we have a very complicated, add-on fee methodology fee in the tables right now. We are consolidating that into a flat fee of $3,760 plus a flat fee of $2,200 for final plats.
"Again, this is a way to eliminate confusion a be able to answer definitively 'what's the fee'." Scorcio said there were a lot of changes proposed to the city's fee schedule.
Will permits scare homeowners?
Councilmember Terry Anderson asked if there would be a city fee for reroofing a house and when told there has always been a city fee for a permit to do that, she said that would not be an inducement to people to fix up their property.
"It has not been a discouragement for reroofing," Scorcio said, prompting Anderson to suggest not just reroofing but generally rehabbing older houses, which she said a lot of people are doing in the city.
"If they had to pay a fee for everything they were doing with this house, they are just going to walk away."
New homeowner exemptions
Owners who occupy their own home would get a 20 percent credit on applications and permits "common to homeowners" in order to "recognize existing contribution to general taxes" paid by these people, Scorcio said, in order "to shift balance toward user fees."
Scorcio said proposed homeowner credits would lower some of the permits costs.
For example the current cost of a permit to reroof a home is a $45 work permit fee plus a $65 inspection fee. That would be replaced with a flat fee of $90.
But with the 20 percent proposed city homeowner and occupant credit, the fee would be a flat $72, a saving of $15.
Another example of savings, is the homeowner permit fees for replacement of a furnace, now a $50 fee and a $65 inspection fee. The proposed fee to non-occupant homeowner would be a flat $65 but that cost to an occupant homeowner would be a flat $52.
If a homeowners lot line must be adjusted, the current cost is $400 plus hourly engineering review fees, typically $1,000, Scorcio said. But the proposed new fee would be a flat fee of $1,230. Homeowner occupants would pay a flat $984 fee.
He said the people paying fees get a service for the money, including inspections that could prevent or lower future expenses. Fees do not cover the total cost of the city staff work involved, but the fees proposed do get more of the costs covered than the current fee schedule.
"It will cover at least half, if not slightly over half of that it that it typically will cost us to provide these services," Scorcio said.
When credit takes effect
After a question from Councilmember Pam Fernald, Scorcio said it was up to the city to decide when the homeowner credit takes effect. It would be allowed if a homeowner contracted for the work to be done rather than the homeowner, themselves, doing the work.
Scorcio said the proposed homeowner credit was not for remodeling a home, the credit is mainly for common activities "homeowner would like do themselves or might have a contractor come in to do it."
Fernald asked about the consequences for a homeowner just doing the work without getting a fee. Scorcio said there is a double fee proviso already in the law that doubles permit fees and it is routinely imposed when the city discovers the violation. The proposed changes would keep that double fee provision.
Scorcio did say that people who move a door or put in a window may or may not fall under the law and may not trigger action.
But a project putting on another room or altering plumbing probably will mean that there will be contractors involved who know permits are needed.
Councilmembers Tony Anderson and Dave Bush said the proposed new fee schedule was needed to be comparable with surrounding cities and for the safety of residents because inspections reveal potential problems.
Bush said he found the old fee schedule had a $40 permit fee for groups like the Girl Scouts to sell cookies, but a $5 fee for a firearms fee.
"We really need to change this," Bush said.
City Finance Director Aaron Antin said there is no reason because there are currently fee exemptions for nonprofit services groups like the Girl Scouts or the Rotary Club. That exemption would be retained in the new schedule.
New Angle Lake project
The Council study session on Wednesday (Nov. 12) heard a presentation by Cindy Edens, senior vice president and director of development with Wright Runstad, on the Angle Lake light rail station 7.8-acre mixed-use project where airport parking is now.
The first phase of the development is slated to begin in 2016 with future phases dependent on market needs and potential completion in 2017. The Sound Transit station is expected to open in 2016.
Edens said the of the South 200th Street project will be flexible to accommodate development of offices, hotels and retail stores, adjacent to the Sound Transit station, and the potential of a new building for the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). The agency is expected to make a final decision on the building by next March, she said.
This "awesome location" at Pacific Highway and 200th has easy access to the Seattle, South Sound and the airport, she said, with the "views to the Sound are just amazing."]]>

The Angle Lake Child Development Center in SeaTac was the site this week of a major announcement to help get children ready for schools, as Easter Seals Washington was named one of six nationwide recipients of the 2014-2015 Comcast Assistive Technology Grant Fund.
Easter Seals Washington will receive $25,000 to launch the Mobile Technology Lab, a project that reaches children between the ages of 2 and 5 that show that they will benefit from extra education and small group intervention.
The Easter Seals Mobile Technology Lab instructor will use iPads and award winning apps vetted through the BridgingApps Program to have the children complete exercises and play games that will sharpen skills and help them quickly catch up with their peers in reaching social and communication milestones.
"Assistive technologies can greatly improve the lives of people with disabilities by helping them to overcome barriers at home, work, school and in their community," said Charisse R. Lillie, Vice President of Community Investment at Comcast Corporation and President of the Comcast Foundation. "We are proud to support Easter Seals Washington through this grant and make a positive impact, one person at a time."
Cathy Bisaillon, Easter Seals Washington President & CEO, said, "The Comcast Foundation is a perfect partner as we spread awareness to Make the First Five Count by monitoring children's early development. With Comcast's support, we will help children over small hurdles now so that they are well positioned for grade school and beyond. Working parents love the fact the program is free of charge and that it takes place during their child's typical school day."
The Mobile Technology Lab is a natural wrap-around service to the accredited, inclusive care being offered at Easter Seals Washington's three Seattle area child development centers, including the one in SeaTac. All children enrolled in the centers are provided with individual assessments and education plans. The Mobile Technology Lab instructor and classroom teachers will work together to maximize the children's learning time, both in the new sessions and throughout the day in their regular early learning classrooms.
Established in 2012, the Comcast Assistive Technology Grant Fund empowers individuals living with disabilities by expanding assistive technology training and services available to them. To date, the fund has helped an estimated 25,000 Americans. Easter Seals Washington is one of five nationwide affiliates, as well as the Easter Seals Headquarters, selected by Comcast for excellence in programs that guide consumers on assessment, training and on-going support. Individuals benefitting from this grant include children and adults living with developmental disabilities like Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as veterans overcoming challenges associated with reintegration. This is the first year that Easter Seals Washington has received the grant.
About Easter Seals Washington Every year, Easter Seals Washington provides services to more than 4,100 children and adults with disabilities across Washington state, helping individuals with disabilities and their families live better lives. Whether helping someone simply gain greater independence for everyday living or secure employment, Easter Seals Washington offers a variety of services to help people with disabilities address life's challenges and achieve personal goals.

Happy Veterans Day from The SeaTac Blog to all Vets, active military and their families!
In honor of this holiday, we encourage all our Readers to thank a Vet – buy one a beer or a meal, or just give 'em a big ol' hug or say "thanks!"
We'd also like to take a few moments to share some local history regarding Veterans in our area.
Not far from Des Moines is the Hillgrove Cemetery, a registered King County Landmark and one of the area's premiere, though relatively unknown historic sites.
Located in SeaTac on S. 200th Street, just south of the airport, the privately-owned cemetery is the final resting place of many pioneer families. More than 350 people are buried there, including Veterans from the Civil War (both North and South), the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II and Korea.
In 1997, The Highline Historical Society, in collaboration with Highline High School, received a King County Cultural Education grant for the restoration of the cemetery. Led by teacher Wendy Sayan, groups of students spent several years re-seating and cleaning headstones, replacing broken or stolen monuments, landscaping the area and tending the cemetery on days it was open to the public. More recently the City of SeaTac has mowed the grass and assisted with building a rockery on a threatened slope. The restoration and the mowing, along with the involvement of the students, has greatly reduced the once-rampant vandalism of the site.
Warren "Jim" Elsey
PFC U.S. Army

Bronze Star Medal
"Jim God Winked"
Jim was born in Enumclaw to Ted and Dollie Elsey and was the eldest of four sons. He was the descendent of one of the first families to homestead in the Des Moines area.
Jim grew up in Des Moines, graduating from Highline High School in 1943. He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and served with the 10th Mountain Division in Italy where he twice received medals for valor.
Jim raised his family in Des Moines while being employed by Bonneville Power Administration in Covington. Following retirement in 1980 he moved to his home in Holly on Hood Canal. He immensely enjoyed his fruit orchard, all aspects of gardening, boating and harvesting seafood.
Jim traveled extensively over the years throughout the United States and Europe. His favorite vacation destination was Kona, Hawaii.
Jim had a very close relationship with God and was a devoted member of Marcus Whitman Presbyterian Church. For over 40 years members from the church gathered for an annual picnic the first weekend in August at his home on Hood Canal.
Jim cherished his family and friends. He left us with memories of love and friendship and we are truly blessed by God giving us the opportunity to share our lives with him.

Just north in Burien, there's a memorial wall dedicated to Veterans from World War I. It's in front of Sunnydale Elementary School on Des Moines Memorial Drive, just south of S. 156th Street.
Spanning 84-feet, the wall is made of rose colored South Dakota granite with 20 four foot high slabs engraved with the names of 1428 soldiers, sailors, and marines who had given their lives in WWI.
Dedicated on Sept. 15, 1963, the stone memorial, though beautiful, "is poorly sited along the busy roadway," the Highline Historical Society says on its website. "It has become virtually invisible to speeding motorists; it is not, and never has been, a focal point."
The closeup photo (and a tree, #1172, since gone) above commemorates one Darris Schalk, Private 1st Class, Company M of the 23rd Infantry, 2nd Division.
Apparently Schalk was a Runner in battle in France at Mt. Blanc Ridge, taking messages back and forth from various headquarters. The father of a young man living in Seattle bought a memorial tree in his name because he delivered a message in his son's (Sergeant Lloyd Case) place. Consequently, on Oct. 2, 1918, Schalk was shot and killed upon returning from a delivery. Upon hearing this story, the father of the surviving son bought a tree in the memory of Schalk because his actions saved his son's life.
A VFW Post in Arkansas is named after Darris Schalk.
Here's a quote about Schalk's memorial from Case's Father:
"The death of young Schalk occurred under very touching circumstances.
My son (Sgt. Lloyd Case) and he were company runners. The officer in command gave Case instructions to hastily deliver.
Pvt. Schalk, hearing the command, exclaimed, 'It's my turn Case, I'll go!' and just as he returned he was shot, dying in a few minutes.
That brave unselfish act was his last."

And the school district appears to have conceded.
"It appears that the Highline capital improvement bond — now at 58.03 percent approval — will not reach the 60 percent needed for passage," the school district said on its website. "Though yes votes have been trending upward, it is unlikely the ballots yet to be counted will push the final count above the 60 percent threshold."
Here are the latest results, as of 3:58 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7:
Here's the trend of the returns:
Here's more from the district:
School Board President Michael Spear acknowledged that a majority of voters did vote to approve the measure. "We are grateful for the support of the many, many citizens in our community who expressed their support for our schools by voting yes," said Spear.
With failure of the bond, the district has limited options for meeting the challenges of overcrowding and aging, deteriorating schools.
This fall enrollment is up 400 students over last year, causing crowding in elementary schools. Enrollment is expected to grow by over 2,000 in the next eight to ten years.
Bond failure also means replacement and major repairs to the district's aging and outdated schools will have to wait.
"We will do our best to serve our students, knowing there are physical and financial limitations to what we can do to improve the learning environment in our oldest buildings," said Superintendent Susan Enfield. "We will work with our community to determine a plan for moving forward."

Czarina project; an ongoing project, sort of evolution of a dress. I need to remake this dress, for the old variation is damaged because it wasn't taken care of properly.
5 mtr of tafetta for the train
roses blue
push buttons
faux fur white
oil pearls chain
sequin and bead band
I'd reccomend you don't wear this in summer heat… It's a layered costume. there's a corset underneath (pattern "unmentionables" by Alasse) as well as a chemise (also by Alasse) my underdress(ed) underdress and long underpants. I've bought the hoop skirt.
For the train I've used the fitting assistant. Make her wear the hoop skirt, make half a circle skirt of the 5 mtr tafetta and shape it the way you want it.

A Hostel in downtown San Diego
That is an exception. In the 9 years since we started the Sastra Dana program this is the first time something like it was reported.
By the way, we are about to produce a newspaper with Srila Prabhupada's teachings that is going to be distributed off the racks. That will help us be more liberal as to where we place our racks. I am sure that some of the copies are going to get destroyed and abused, but that's the price you need to pay if you want to bring Krishna consciousness to the masses. I hope that in the future our newspaper will become something like the "LA Times" or San Diego's "Reader", publications available free of charge at every street corner.
We invite all you revolutionaries to join in the effort. We need graphic designers, desktop publishers, editors, fund raisers, donors, distributors, etc.
If you're seriously interested in joining hands, drop us an email:

The value of wearing saris and dhotis in the execution of our devotional activities
I've been distributing books in the States for the last 10 years and I always wear dothi, kurta, cadar, and have my head shaved, with tilak on the forehead. By far mostly people think of me as a monk and that with respect.
Last year I went to TX, Dallas and Austin. I thought I was going to run into lots of Christians who will give me hard time. Nope. I had the best time ever. As a matter of fact I took several bhaktas and bhaktins with me and we all wore dothis and saris and it was just great.
Dothi helps me think of Krishna and it helps me remember what am I all about. It also reminds everyone who sees me of Krishna and spiritual values.
Just recently I was distributing in LA when a fellow dressed in an expensive suit, looking like a successful businessman, came over really close to me and said, "Look at you and look at me." Then he called himself a miserable materialist. He said that even more pathetic is the fact that he had no strength to give up his misery.
Weekly I take tons of pictures of me and my friends distributing in dothis and saris standing next to smiling American citizens. The last thing in the world I would think is that people are put off by our traditional dress. People rather find it exotic.

Ways Householders can Distribute Books
I never recorded any of those presentations. I will try to record it next time.
Your servant,
Mahat-tattva Dasa
» Posted By mahattattva On Jul 27, 2007 @ 2:37 am
I've given many Sastra Dana presentations that demonstrated that running the Sastra Dana program does not eat up local temple donations. It simply gives your congregation anther reason to donate. Thus they donate more.

Your humble servant,
Mahat-tattva Dasa
» Posted By mahattattva On Jul 22, 2007 @ 5:58 pm
Akruranath Prabhuji, please consider the following.
Sastra Dana places only small amounts of books in stores and businesses and that only after obtaining the permission from the owner/manager. When people sit in a dental office waiting room they don't know that we have donated those books. They think the dental office have provided the books to entertain and benefit their customers. Thus the value of the books increases in the eyes of the dental office customers.
We've been now distributing in LA and San Diego for over 8 years. In these 8 years we have not gone to a same store twice!!!
As far as I can see your main concern are the book racks. Please note that the book racks distribute only small books, pamphlet-like. Our plan is, as the program expands, to print a few "free" titles to be used for the rack distribution. Free titles will be printed only for the Sastra Dana program. Those titles will not be sold anywhere. They will be used only for free distribution. We project to come to this point in about three years. I have already spoken with the devotees from the BBT and they are ready for us.
Also please note that not all of our racks give free books. Some racks ask for a donation while some racks ask for a specific amount.
These stand-alone racks are, in our experience, superior to small smart boxes because it is much easier to get a store owner to give you a floor space then a counter space.
I think this answers your doubts. If you have any more doubts, before commenting, please visit the following page: http://www.sastradana.com/html/articles/on_free_books.htm That should help.
The Sastra Dana program is a great way to engage our congregation in the missionary activities. Check out "MANDY" video: http://www.sastradana.com/html/video1.htm
Hope you are well.
Your humble servant,
Mahat-tattva Dasa
