McDERMOTT Trial Date: January 11, 2010 Chief Judge Vaughan R. Walker TO: THE PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: Please Take Notice that before the U, S, District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, the Honorable Vaughn R Walker presiding; Pro Se Amicus Curia Michael J. McDermott (CA Lic. #235984) now moves this court for an order granting leave to participate as Amicus Curia in the above captioned case in support of California Proposition 8, aligned with Defendant-Intervenor. 1. Standard For Motion For Leave to File Brief of Amicus Curia Although there are no local rules directly on point, this court has broad discretion to permit their parties to participate as Amicus Curiae: 1 Dockets.Justia.com Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page2 of 19 "District Courts frequently welcome amicus briefs from non- parties concerning legal issues that have potential ramifications beyond the partied directly involved or if the amicus has ["unique information or perspective that can help the court beyond the help that the lawyers for the parties are able to provide."]" NVG Gaming, Ltd, v. Upstream Point Molate, LLC.; 355 F. Supp 1061, 1067 (N.D. Cal. 2005); (quoting Ryan v. Commodity Futures Trading Comm'n, 125 F.3d 1062, 1064 (7th Cir. 1997) II. Identity and Interest of Pro-Se Amicus Curiae Michael J. McDermott I am a California Voter, native son of San Francisco and current resident of Alameda County, and supporter of Proposition 8 (Prop. 8). I had previously submitted a Pro-Se Amicus Brief to the California State Supreme Court supporting Prop. 8 and opposing the Misandry (Hatred of Men, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality) I believe motivates much of the attack on Marriage. I now believe it equally appropriate to do so in this Federal case in order to defend rights and viewpoints not fully represented by any current parties to the action. I graduated with Distinction from the McGeorge School of Law in 2003 with focus on First Amendment and Civil Rights law, and was the founder and president of the campus Men's Caucus. Like many who openly supported Prop. 8, I have been targeted for retaliation both personally and professionally, and feel the need to defend the validity of my vote and the benefit to the citizens of my state and the nation derived there from. I believe I present a perspective not represented by other parties; particularly my familiarity with and long term opposition to what I contend is the Inherent Animus and Misandry of Plaintiff's positions; especially those of the City of San Francisco, the 2 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page3 of 19 County of Alameda and (although nominally on the defendant side) the California Attorney Generals Office; as well as the ideological movements behind such animus. III. Why Amicus Curiae's Brief Will Be Beneficial To This Court I submit that the attack on the validity of Prop. 8 as not just one involving social issues of the culture wars, but also an attempt to destroy basic rights to the Freedom of Speech, Conscience and Political Viewpoint as guaranteed by the US Constitution. Where other briefs by the Defendants side seem to focus on rebutting charges of animus, I believe that the real animus is found in Plaintiff's attack on Marriage and the Rights of the Voters. I further submit that my Pro-Se Amicus position fills a necessary function in addressing this gap and my input in to the process is necessary to a full airing of the facts and issues of this case, and thus ask the Court to grant my application. IV. Conclusion I therefore request this Courts leave to submit my Pro-Se Amicus Curiae brief in support of my vote in favor of the great good of Proposition 8 Michael J. McDermott, Pro-Se Amicus Petitioner.

The heresy of heresies was common sense." George Orwell, 1984, on the Thought Police. The Attack on Proposition 8 is such an overt act of ideological thought policing, financed mainly by radical hollywood activists such as the notorious propagandist Rob Reiner, that it is worthy of the title of `Tantrum Theater.' With the recent enactment of the most draconian `Thought Crime' law in American history: Pub L. 111-84, Division `E': Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes act (2010), promoting imprisonment for using words alone to allegedly "Incite" parties unknown to the speaker to commit alleged "hate crimes"; the attack by the radical gender feminist / homosexualist alliance on the First Amendment has gained a powerful tool. Thus this legal attack on the very idea of Marriage as a heterosexual institution between a woman and a man, now portends using that law to punish those who dare speak such basic truths. Marriage in our society is and always has been for members of opposite complimentary genders, meaning the immutable and inherited characteristics of birth that make us male and female; as scientifically proven by the presence of XY and XX chromosomes in every cell of our bodies. Further, All human procreation is Heterosexual, and every child has a Male Father and a Female Mother; and is created by the combination of male sperm and female ovum, regardless of the physical mechanics of that union. Thus the attack on Prop. 8 is an Orwellian pogrom aimed not just at destroying the term `marriage', but an institution grounded in scientific fact. The Plaintiffs want to use the Court to disenfranchise the voters in order to change the meaning of the word `marriage' in furtherance of their radical political agenda. 5 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page6 of 19 Thus while the attack on marriage uses many pretexts as propaganda in support of their radical agendas, the overarching goal is furtherance of a Political Gender War against their favorite bogeyman of the hated `Hetero-Patriarchy.' The arguments attacking Prop. 8 are a prime example of political correctness run amok to the level of destructive absurdity. This phenomenon was perhaps best explained by author Theodore Dalrymple in an interview in FrontPageMagazine.com (August 31, 2005), when he said: "Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to." Hence, a prime goal of the attack on Prop. 8 is not the promotion of alternate views on marriage, but the banishment of the prevailing view (as evidenced by the votes nationwide on the issue) as legally unacceptable. It is an entirely reasonable next step in chilling and destroying free speech on the issue to take what is already a semi official pogrom of punishing people who support Prop. 8 (in employment, government service...) and turn it in to a political thought crime leading to imprisonment. I know of no greater threat to the liberty and free speech rights of citizens than the combination of mandatory pandering to the radical gender feminist / homosexualist agenda inherent in the attack on marriage, enforced through use of `hate crime' laws. 6 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page7 of 19 The hypocrisy of these radicals claiming that an unthinking animus is all that informs those defending Prop. 8, is only exceeded by the campaign of censorship in service of political correctness by which they and their allies seek to forbid factual examination of the prime motivations for this unprecedented pogrom. There are many rational, reasonable, logical, fact based intellectually and morally valid justifications for rejecting the types of Behaviors and Agendas that inform and motivate this attack, including defense of the fundamental Constitutional Rights of citizens of conscience in service of preservation of the basic fabric of civilized society. The alliance against Prop. 8 has two main constituencies whose common bond is the shared animus against men, masculinity and normal heterosexuality that is the essence of Misandry. That they have allies in all levels of government, media. professional political lobbies and particularly academia, willing to turn a blind eye to double standards in service of political correctness and viewpoint discrimination, is all the more reason for the Court to thwart this pogrom pushed through the attack on Prop. 8. In essence the goal is to force upon the public normalization of both a separatist / neoexterminiationist radical feminist misandrist pogrom directed against males, as well as promoting male homo-anal coprophile behaviors as equivalent to normal heterosexuality. This is the true core of the agenda of animus behind this thought policing pogrom. 1. A. THOUGHT POLICING The First Amendment rights of citizens to speak out against the advancement of social evils is under attack like never before, and the war on `marriage' is a war against speech and ideas totalitarian in nature and destructive in purpose. The attempt to use the Courts to try and force `beliefs' on the citizens, including those identified by the U.S. 7 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page8 of 19 Supreme Court as "Secular Humanist" Torasco v. Watkins, 367 U.S. 488, n.3 (1961), is a grave threat to the future of the republic. Whether through direct punishment for alleged `hate crimes' or simply intimidating the Voters from speaking the truth for fear of the consequences, the attack on Prop. 8 has shown the real nature of a campaign that seeks to brand itself as only concerned with `love' - and yet acts out with such fierce animus. Unable to sell their goods in the market place of ideas, opponents of heterosexual marriage now seek to force the electorate in to accepting a false and harmful equivalency, and by requiring that voters who know better must believe in an agenda that cannot stand up to unbiased public scrutiny by the electorate. Unlike the fable of the boy who exposed the fraud of the `emperors new clothes', those who stand up to this misandrist fraud are being subjected to severe reprisals, particularly from those making a profit from the scam, much as the suppliers of invisible thread and cloth to the emperors tailors did. By enshrining the false equivalency of their agenda in to law, activist for radical gender feminist / homosexualist causes seek a weapon to silence those who would expose them. II. EQUAL PROTECTION HYPOCRISY The example of government opponents of Prop. 8 who make equal protection arguments in their cause, are revealed as hypocrisy when compared to the double standards of misandry they support and promote (often with tax subsidy) where they wield power. The following are some prime if not exhaustive examples: A. The San Francisco Dyke March / Anti Male Hate Riot. Every year since 1989 the City of San Francisco `hosts' an annual takeover of the public streets known as the "Dyke March" (Exhibit #1), which although it refuses to apply for a permit or pay any fees none the less orders the banning of Men from the streets. 8 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page9 of 19 Despite the fact that it refuses to even mark the route in advance or warn citizens of the gridlock that shuts down a good part of the city, San Francisco now supplies tax subsidized police and transit services to this takeover, which boasts that it seeks to bring about "A World Devoid of Men." Such raw Animus could not be directed against other groups without causing considerable fallout, but in Frisco the level of official misandry is such that it is best describes as a public policy of BAMN BAMN Ł Bash Men, By Any Means Necessary. The self avowed "Separatists" who run the Dyke March are fully integrated in to the City Government, and represent a powerful interest behind the misandrist attack on Prop.8. B. Government Censorship and Discrimination. By not only overtly silencing certain politically incorrect viewpoints, but of also providing tax subsidized forums for promoting only one point of view, government agencies throughout California promote radical gender feminist misandry. Granting extraordinary political lobbying powers to groups such as the "California Commission on the Status of Women" (created by Government Code Section 8240-8246), is a prime example of the mockery of equal protection that is the reality in this state. The statements by Alameda County board of supervisors president Scott Haggerty showing his vehement opposition to allowing an equal voice for male citizens (Amicus Dec. P-3) serve to highlight the hypocrisy in any claims of concern for equal protection these parties may make. C. Ignoring Attacks on the Voters. The story of former Yolo County District Attorney's office manager Gretchen Bender is also relevant1. 1 Same-sex shoo-in: A gender-neutral marriage bill passes its first hurdle in the Assembly. By Jeffrey M. Barker, (www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content?oid=35079) 9 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page10 of 19 Bender publicly boasted in an article widely published in the state capitol (Exhibit # 2.) of engaging in egregious acts of trespass and vandalism of election materials maliciously directed against law abiding citizens; and apparently escaped any sanctions from the State. Contrast this treatment to the official public statements of then Attorney General Bill Lockyer (Amicus Dec. P-4) supporting homosex prison rape for Males Only, and his continued leadership amongst `male feminists' in the political party that controls the California Legislature. These few examples serve only as indicators of the pervasive institutional misandry endemic to California government, and the double standards they embrace that betray their public posturing about `equal' protection. D. Discrimination against Children & Heterosexuality. By attempting to create a suspect class with rights superior to all others, based solely on their choice to perceive themselves as oriented towards engaging in homosex behaviors, Prop. 8 opponents display animus to both the rights of Children and Heterosexual Males. Phenomenon such as the `Donor Ł Sibling' registry (www.donorsiblingregistry.com) show the problems (ranging from search for identity to potential incest...) resulting from `anonymous donors' and the legal elimination of male parents from appearing as real persons on birth certificates. Children deserve to know who their natural biological parents are, and the attack on Prop. 8 is a deliberate roadblock to thwart this normal and healthy aspiration. This bias against equal protection for heterosexuality was demonstrated in the set of three cases foundational to the California Supreme Court's marriage / procreation jurisprudence prior to Prop. 8, published together on August 22, 2005: (K.M., v. E.G.: S125643 / Elisa B. v. Superior Court; S125912 / Kristine H. v. Lisa R.: S126945). 10 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page11 of 19 Because Prop. 8 can now be argued to have invalidated attempts to Disfavor Heterosexuality in the law, and reaffirmed the equal protection rights of heterosexual males as opposed to `donors', the misandry lobby is targeting it. Indeed, even California Justice Werdegar in her dissent touched on one aspect of such violations of equal protection when she said: "Although the majority denies that its rule depends on sexual orientation the opinion speaks for itself; The majority has chosen to use the term lesbian no less than six times in articulating its holding. Moreover, the majority prevents future courts from applying its holding automatically to persons other than lesbians. I see no rational basis, and the majority articulates none for permitting the enforceability of an ovum donation agreement to depend on the sexual orientation of the parties. Indeed, lacking a rational basis, the rule may well violate equal protection." K.M., v. E.G.; Werdegar Dissenting at 6. Even more telling of the attempt to instill misandry in to the law is the bizarre ruling in favor of holding males who engage in heterosexual behaviors to a different standard than those who Intentionally `donate' Sperm at what are commonly referred to as `sperm banks (Aka - `dead beat dad' factories): "Usually, whether there is evidence of a parent and child relationship under the UPA does not depend upon the intent of the parent. For example, a man who engages in sexual intercourse with a woman who assures him, falsely, that she is incapable of conceiving children is the father of a resulting child, despite his lack of intent to become a father." Id. at 4-5 Because it can be argued that Prop. 8 makes it clear that marriage is between a Man (XY) and a Woman (XX), all such ersatz attempts to create `fatherless' children as a matter of law may now be open to challenge. This includes such bizarre double standards that say amongst other things, that fraternal twin brothers can have different paternity. Consider the case of a woman who uses a sperm bank to conceive one male (XY) son, and then later engages in heterosexual intercourse with the same man (the prior `anonymous' donor), and conceives another male (XY) son Ł his fraternal twin brother. 11 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page12 of 19 The First Boy (who Inherited His Father's Y Chromosome via intentional `donation') is held to have No Legal Father Ł not an absent one or a deadbeat, but no legally existent male parent, despite the scientific evidence of his own genes. His twin brother (exact same Y Chromosome), because he was conceived by heterosexual intercourse, does have a Father recognized by law (even if the conception was unintentional), and that Man can be sent to prison for failure to pay support for this Son only, based on scientific proof of parentage from the same Y Chromosome. Prop. 8 threatens to invalidate such insanely contradictory anti-scientific misandry, which is based on a hatred of normal heterosexual intercourse and not `love' for those of the same sex, and which is a central factor behind the attack on Prop. 8. III. A. MISANDRY Radical Gender Feminist Misandry Motivates Animus. Recently deceased academic icon Mary Daley was widely eulogized by the media and other prominent feminists for a lifetime of misandry. She is emblematic of many of the Prop.8 activists in her motivation by a fierce hatred for the "patriarchy." 2Like many others of her ilk she openly advocated an agenda whereby the male population could be reduced to 10% of less of its present level as a means of "decontaminating the earth." Such views are not only widespread and popular in radical feminist circles, but also inform and motivate much of the attack on Heterosexual marriage, particularly given the popular radical feminist position that all heterosexual intercourse is rape, because women cannot consent to heterosexual relations under the yoke of oppression by said "Patriarchy." 2 Susan Bridle, `No Man's Land' An interview with Mary Daly by Susan Bridle (1999) www.enlightennext.org/magazine/j16/daly 12 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page13 of 19 The anthology book "Lesbians Raising Sons" by Jess Wells 3provides stark example of such separatist / exterminiationist misandry in the Anti 8 movement. The book is full of stories ranging from denunciations of those who fail to abort male children as "Traitors to your species", to demeaning male babies as "Pig Child" and the banishment of those who associate with them because they "exude maleness." The attack on Prop. 8 is in large part the extension of such hate driven misandrist pogroms in to the Courts, where they have already found considerable success. These aspects of anti male animus are rarely discussed, but need to be part of the full debate. B. Forced Acceptance of Behavioral Equivalency. By contrast another main thread of misandry behind the attack on Prop.8 is motivated by the demand for normalizing male homo-anal coporphile behaviors, and forcing the public to accept them as no different than heterosexual relations4. Although nearly three of every four new first time Aids cases in California are the direct result of homo-anal transmission, the campaign to censor those who point out the pathological nature of such behaviors and the harm from endorsing them is widespread and relentless. By coupling the choice to engage in such behaviors with `marriage', the intent is to force a false equivalency on the public consciousness, with even greater penalties for those who dare to point out the important differences than already exist. An analogy to the flaws in equal protection arguments made by such activists can be found in the rules for sound eyesight in order to get a drivers license, in that blind people may claim it is 3 4 `Lesbians Raising Sons'. Anthology by Jess Wells, Alyson Books (1sst Ed. 1997) ISBN 1-55583-410-8 `The Physical Health Risks of Homosexuality', by Alysse ElHage Family North Carolina Magazine-- July/August 2007, www.ncfamily.org/FNC/0707S3.html. Writing in their 1989 gay manifesto, After the Ball, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen, Ph.D., offered the homosexual community the following strategy: "In the early stages of the campaign, the public should not be shocked and repelled by premature exposure to homosexual behavior itself. Instead, the imagery of sex per se should be downplayed, and the issue of gay rights reduced, as far as possible, to an abstract social question."[i] 13 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page14 of 19 unfair to have a double standard favoring those who can see, because some of them still get in car wrecks anyway. So to with the notion that heterosexual behavior must be free of similar pathological aspects in order to recognize its natural procreative value. Thus the attack on Prop. 8 is a deceitful attempt to use the Courts to normalize and force acceptance of behaviors that advocates have failed to sell in the marketplace of ideas. IV. CONCLUSION The plaintiffs seek to cast themselves in the guise of victims seeking to overcome oppression at the ballot box, by judicial fiat. The reality is just the opposite. They are instead trying to enforce their own radical political ideologies on an unwilling public by ever more draconian intimidation tactics, including the use of the Courts to thwart the will of the electorate, at least when they don't like the outcome of the vote. The attempt by Plaintiffs to use the Courts as Thought Police, in order to push a radical political agenda that is rationally and reasonably opposed by a majority of the citizens, should not be allowed to succeed. Far from opening up any debate about the issue, destroying the vote of the electorate for Prop. 8, or using that vote as grounds for advancing the political ideology of the Plaintiffs, would have a deeply chilling effect on all manner of Rights to Freedom of Speech and Conscience on these important issues. The Vote of the Electorate in favor of the rational and reasonable position of Proposition 8 should be upheld, and the Plaintiff's case dismissed in full. Sincerely, Michael J.

The actual quote by Lisa Roth is found in her follow up Letter to the S.F. Chronicle of 7/1/98, where she Explicitly Bans Men from the Streets: "Many thanks for running a great picture of the 6th Annual Dyke March on the front page of Sunday's paper, but I must correct an error. I never said, "Guys are welcome." I said, "Guys are welcome to stand on the side and cheer" The Dyke March is a "woman only" event, organized by women for women and about women. As we said at our rally, the Annual San Francisco Dyke March is the best live girl show in town. We've got No Permit, no politicians, no corporate sponsors and No Men. We are fierce and feisty and fat and feminist." 7/1/98 Lisa Roth - S. F. Dyke March Organizing Com. / Damn Lesbians Women rule the world, if only for a little while . By Ryan Kim, Chronicle Staff Writer. Sunday, June 27, 2004 San Francisco Chronicle. For a few hours Saturday night, Vicki Noble got a fleeting glimpse of a world devoid of men..."This is what the world would look like if women ruled the world, which we intend to do," said Noble... 15 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page16 of 19 Men told not to rain on parade Unity key to Dyke March; 50,000 expected at S.F. Dyke March 50,000 expected -- men not advised. By Joe Garofoli, S.F. Chronicle Staff Writer - Saturday, June 26, 2004.A few simple rules are expected to attract more than 50,000 participants to today's 12th annual Dyke March through San Francisco: no corporate sponsors, no politicians, no permit to march and no men. Dyke- friendly guys are invited to cheer from the sidewalk as marchers wind along a still-secret route through the Mission and Castro districts and points beyond. It's cuttingedge politics like this that has helped the march blossom...The biggest donation was a $5,000 gift from the city's Grants for the Arts. . The same goes for calling it a "dyke" and not a "lesbian" march. Organizer Tina D'Elia said it's an effort to reclaim the word "dyke," long considered a derogatory term for lesbians... - it's become one of the city's largest winked-at underground events. Though there are no official march permits, the city's police, traffic and transportation officials now plan for it... ......................................................................................................... San Francisco Dyke March 2002 Official Statement This grass roots activist event has neither a permit nor the city's blessing, but nobody's worried: The parade draws women by the tens of thousands, and there's nothing the city can do. Unlike Sunday's official pride parade, the march has no corporate sponsors, no leadership hierarchy, and no guys, save for the few supportive fellows cheering from the sidelines... the march is a return to raw, in-your-face activism... the crowd of women takes over the Mission Quadrant, with Dykes on Bikes leading the Charge... The 2000 San Francisco Dyke March Website clearly states the requirement for Men to be allowed in the streets when it says: "It's okay for men to march, but they must first complete two thousand years of evolution" Exhibit #2: Same-sex shoo-in: A gender-neutral marriage bill passes its first hurdle in the Assembly. By Jeffrey M. Barker, Sacramento News & Review (www.newsreview.com/sacramento/content?oid=35079) 4/28/05. Before the committee discussion had even begun, gender-neutral marriage was a shoo-in... Enter Gretchen Bender, a self-described "poster child of the modern lesbian." The 34-year-old Natomas woman is the chief fiscal officer for a branch of Yolo County government, is a mother of two and has been in a relationship with a woman for five years... It was on a rainy day during election season, in 2000, that Bender became openly involved in the gay-marriage movement. As she drove down a street in Riverside, her daughter pointed out the many pro-Proposition 22 campaign signs. "I jumped out of the car and started pulling the signs off the side of the road," she said. She collected them at home, where she changed the "Yes" to read "No." Then she swapped out the signs on people's lawns and on utility poles. "It definitely put the community in a defensive stance rather than in an offensive stance," 16 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page17 of 19 DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF AMICUS BRIEF I, Michael J. McDermott, submit this true copy of my Declaration to the California Supreme Court in its Proposition 8 case, as my Declaration in Perry V. Schwarzenegger: 1. I am a native son of the city of San Francisco and an advocate on behalf of the Civil Rights of this nation's despised and disposable Male Minority. I am also a 2003 graduate of the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, who has been summarily stripped by the administration of all my vested alumni rights; without charges, process or appeal, This was done in retaliation for reporting Threats of Extreme Physical Violence against me by a McGeorge Professor, sanctioned by the school's policy of aggressive viewpoint discrimination in favor of the same radical gender feminist / homosex political agenda that is also driving the opposition to Proposition 8 and promoting Misandry (Hatred of Men, Masculinity and Normal Heterosexuality) throughout the California Legal System. 2. In 1989 as a professional firefighter in Santa Barbara County CA, I was terminated as the result of a secret government run star chamber political vendetta, again based on viewpoint discrimination, in retaliation for recommending the establishment of a Commission for Men to parallel the existing Commission for Women, and having allegedly "Written Letters to the Editor Expressing Negative Views in Current Women's Issues." Additional secret anonymous charges in the star chamber process included retaliation for attending open public lectures at the University of California, and during the Q&A Sessions daring to ask questions that angered the campus feminist / homosex thought police Ł who used their police powers to reach out in to the community and secretly complain to my employer in order to silence and censor me while remaining anonymous. 3. As a Men's Civil Rights Advocate I have long opposed the Unconstitutional Violation of Equal Protection inherent in the State and Counties subsidizing and granting extraordinary political power to Commissions for Women, while simultaneously Denying Equal Voice to the Male Minority. One example of this occurred on September 17, 2008, when I attended a government-sponsored session labeled as political appointments training - for women. The only other Male present was Alameda County Supervisor Scott Haggerty Ł who after boasting about their County Commission for Womyn said: "I would Never Appoint a Man to the Status of Womyn Commission; that would Not be the right thing to do." Supervisor Haggerty then went on to state that He and the Rest of the Supervisor were Completely Opposed to allowing the establishment of any Similar Commission for Men and had been so for Decades. The hypocrisy of the CA Attorney General and County Counsels presenting briefs in this case claiming to demonstrate a concern for Equal Protection, is clearly shown by their own egregious Discrimination against allowing any such Equal Representation for the Male Minority. 4. The extent of Institutional Misandry pervading the California Legal System is highlighted by the example of former Attorney General Bill Lockyer while in office. During the spring of 2003 I attended a lecture by this McGeorge graduate during which he engaged in considerable Male Bashing rhetoric. After the lecture I asked him about his 17 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page18 of 19 public statements supporting Male Prison Rape as a Policy of the State, in regard to his public statements about a then un-indicted target, when he said: "I would love to Personally Escort Ken Lay to an 8x12 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who would say, `Hi, My Name is Spike, Honey". Attorney General Lockyer not only confirmed this Official State Policy of Homo-Anal Prison Rape targeting Males as valid, but emphasized that it was only policy for Male citizens and did not under any circumstances apply to Women. When I asked him why the double standard against Men, he swore at me and walked away with his staff and supporters. 5. One of the most important educational moments of my life occurred on June 28, 1998, during the San Francisco Dyke March / Anti Male Hate Riot pictured and described in Exhibit #1. I was going about my business in my home town of San Francisco when, in the process of crossing the public street, I encountered the Misandrist Reality of the San Francisco Dyke March in the form of several Dykes on Bikes using their motorcycles as offensive weapons to clear the streets of Men in advance of the Hate Riot. I later learned from reading the story that accompanied the picture of these torch bearing hate mongers, as well as research on the internet, that these self avowed "Separatist Dykes" boast that they refuse to even apply for a permit when they take over the public streets and Ban Male Citizens. They even boast in Court Filings that this is as part of their pogrom to bring about their Misandrist / Exterminationist ideal of a "World Devoid of Men". That the leaders and legal establishment of my home town of San Francisco use tax money to subsidize this Anti Male Hate Riot, and turn a blind eye to the rampant violations of the law and the civil rights of the Male Minority it represents, simply illustrates the hollow and hypocritical nature of their briefs purporting to show such a great concern for `Equal Protection'. Support for Separatist / Exterminationist Misandry is a mainstay of the Frisco political establishment, and a shame to the nation. 6. On January 6, 2008, I learned that the San Francisco Catholic Church where my parents were married, Holy Redeemer, was vandalized with spray paint swastikas and anti Catholic Hate speech, by those retaliating against the Church for its principled stand in favor of Proposition 8. As a student of history and particularly the fascist movements of the 20th century, the use of Swastikas as a symbol of Radical Homosex Activism struck a chilling cord. Historical truth found in books like The Pink Swastika clearly highlight the connection between Homosex Behaviors and Nazism that gave rise to one of the most hateful Exterminationist regimes in modern history. The stark historical reality is that the Nazi Party was founded and run by butch Homo-Anal Coprophile Ephebophiles, such as Storm Trooper leader Ernst R÷hm and his Protķgķ Adolph Hitler. The predilections that characterized them are demonstrated each year in Frisco during the Folsom Street Fair. Likewise, the Exterminationist Hatred they directed towards the Jews is echoed in the public demands of Dyke Marchers for "A World Devoid of Men." 7. Thus I find that the campaign of Anti Male Thought Policing and Retaliatory Discrimination that has come to characterize my home state of California is indeed reminiscent of the fall of Weimar Germany and its replacement with a National HomoSocialist Third Reich. 18 Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document539 Filed02/02/10 Page19 of 19 As one of the Men squarely targeted in the sights of such Exterminationist Misandrists, I am reminded of the episode of the South Park cartoon show, titled "The Death Camp of Tolerance". California is quickly morphing in to a Deeply Misandrist Society where the new political paradigm is that of a `Cannibal Soup' culture Ł meaning that one either joins in the orgy of Misandry as a Diner, or is included in the feast as Dinner. Male Citizens who fail to pander to Misandry are targeted by the legal system and other organs of government, and their very right to speak out against such Rank Misandry is being censored in the name of an ersatz fraud of alleged `tolerance'. The Attack on Marriage is simply one facet of this overall pogrom of Exterminationist Misandry, and whether Male (meaning having the immutable inherited characteristic of Male Gender as proven at birth by the (XY) chromosome), or Female (XX); all citizens have a duty to stand up to such evil; even if it be found in the immoral, irrational, and anti scientific demand that citizens believe or act as if Marriage is Not what it Truly Is Ł a Bond between a Man and a Woman. I submitted this declaration of the truth under penalty of perjury on 1/14/09 and do so again as of 2/2/10. Sincerely, Michael J. McDermott >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [PROPOSED ORDER] Michael J. McDermott, (CA Lic. # 235984) moved to file a Pro-Se Amicus brief in the case of Perry v.

Seasons Greetings Fellow Blurberati,
Those of you who have not been following the mainstream book publishing business may be unaware that the industry has been hit hard in recent weeks.
Wednesday, 3 December has become known as Black Wednesday as Random House folded five divisions into three, eliminating the jobs of two top editors (with more layoffs likely to follow), Simon and Schuster laid off 35 people, Thomas Nelson (religious publishing powerhouse) laid off 10% of their workforce, and Penguin announced widespread pay freezes. And all this was on top of the previous weeks' news that Houghton Mifflin was no longer accepting any new submissions.
But while I feel terrible for those who have lost their jobs, this story does have a remarkably positive ending, so please read on.
Sara Nelson, Editor in Chief of Publisher's Weekly, had this to say about Black Wednesday, " But I don't really worry, in the long run, about publishing itself. Because if there's one thing that history has shown it is that when the dust settles – and it will settle– there have always been stories, people to read them, and people to produce and disseminate them. Whether those stories (and people) will be part of large corporations, whether the stories will be measured in pages or bytes, and whether there will be hundreds of thousands of them produced every year—well, that we'll have to see."
So here's the good news I promised earlier. The answer is already hundreds of thousands. Books, that is. And that's just Blurb's contribution.
While mainstream publishing is indeed undergoing painful changes, the personal publishing business is exploding. Before the year is out — and in only our second full year of product availability, Blurb will have produced over 750,000 books. We have written checks in excess of $300,000 to those of you who elected to sell your books for profit in the blurb.com bookstore this year alone — and nearly three quarters of a million people have downloaded Blurb's BookSmart software in total.
During our peak week this holiday season we were seeing a new book title come in every three seconds. Many of these books are personal books — but increasingly, we are seeing folks previously published the old-fashioned way make their way over to Blurb.
We are particularly proud that Rick Smolan, the former Time/Life photographer and noted book author (America 24/7 sold in the hundreds of thousands of copies) chose Blurb to publish Natasha's Story, a personal project he started more than 30 years ago; it is now a book of great beauty and grace.
So, I think Sara Nelson is right. Stories will be told and companies (like ours) will be there to assure they get produced and shared. In huge numbers. Globally.
Created by you.
Happy New Year everyone!
All best,

Another Reason to be Wary of Snakes: They Harbor A Deadly Brain-Swelling Virus
For years, scientists and public health officials couldn't figure out how the deadly mosquito-borne Eastern Equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) – which is causing unusually severe outbreaks this year in parts of New England – survives the cold mosquito-killing winters in the Northeastern U.S. But a new study offers a missing piece to the puzzle: snakes. According to researchers who wrangled and tested snakes (mostly Cottonmouths) in the Tuskegee National Forest, the reptiles harbor the virus in their bodies throughout hibernation. This sets the stage for a new crop of mosquitoes that feed on the infected snakes in the spring to pass the virus on to other animals and humans.
"They act as the Typhoid Mary of the virus," Thomas Unnasch, lead author of the study and an infectious disease expert at the University of South Florida, told NBC News. (Wondering how mosquitoes manage to bite through the tough-skinned snakes for their blood meal? They target the soft membrane right around a snake's eyes.)
EEEV, which has been detected along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast states as well as in Michigan and Ohio, is rare, but lethal to horses and humans. And while there is a vaccine for horses, there isn't one for humans. So far this year, at least four people have died from EEEV in Vermont and Massachusetts and nearly a dozen other less serious cases have been reported – up from an average of five to ten human cases of EEEV reported annually in the entire U.S. (CDC).
"This paper is the final nail in the coffin that indicates that snakes are involved in this whole process," Unnasch told LiveScience. The study was published online this month in the journal of American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene – a Burness client.
The findings could also point to a better way to combat the deadly disease, Unnasch says, including smaller, more targeted spraying earlier in the year, to keep outbreaks like this year's at bay in the future.

Web Spotlight: Red-hot Jeff Cannon looks to win first Bettenhausen race
By Ryan Haskell Post-Tribune correspondent September 13, 2013 8:26PM
Updated: September 13, 2013 11:24PM
SCHERERVILLE — Local driver Jeff Cannon has been on a hot streak winning four out of his last five races at Illiana Motor Speedway.
But he's never won the annual Tony Bettenhausen race.
He's hoping the 52nd annual 100-lap race tonight is his good luck charm.
"I've been trying a long time to win this one," said Cannon, whose only loss in the last five weeks came at the 12th annual Elmer Musgrave Memorial race two weeks ago, thanks to a rear-end issue. "I had the car out this week and it's driving good. Winning any of the big races are special."
He'll be going against a star-studded field, which includes Wyoming, Mich., standout Brian Campbell, four-time champion "Fast" Eddie Hoffman, three-time winner Brett "The Jet" Sontag and two-time victor Boris Jurkovic. The 2013 late model track champion, Paul Shafer, Jr., will also be out Saturday night, shooting for his first title.
Gates open at 4 p.m. and qualifying starts at 5:30. The first flag drops at 7 p.m.
Cannon would like to forget last year's race.
The Kouts resident was wrecked out of the 2012 Bettenhausen race by Lap 7.
"I didn't qualify well last year," he said. "That's something I need to do better. The rear problem issue is under control so I think we have that somewhat in control. I need a better qualifying time and we'll go from there."
The race will carry a purse of more than $30,000, plus lap prize money and special bonuses from Five Star Bodies, a $100 hard charger award from Powersource Racing Engines and $100 from Power Train Technology.
Besides the super late model race, Illiana will be hosting the final round of the Street Stock North Grand Chi-Town Spectacular in a 20-lap feature on the legendary half-mile, plus Pure Stocks on the quarter-mile."
Track media relations coordinator Tom White said it's "the big race you don't want to miss."
The Bettenhausen Memorial is named after legendary race car driver Tony Bettenhausen. The Tinley Park, Ill., native made 14 starts in the Indianapolis 500 with five top 5 finishes. He died during a practice crash at the famed speedway in May 1961.
Tickets for the event are $18 for adults; children 8-12 are $5; and kids 7-and-under are free. Parking in the pits is $30.

Up next was the draw for us - the folk/electronic act Share... and share they did. AJP Sisk joined forces with tOS's Kyle and Nick for the set. I was surprised to see no computers or drum machines on stage as Pedestrian mixes programming into the organic textures throughout, but the band omitted the electronics for the performance. Using Kyle's excellent stand up bass work to keep the tracks moving, Sisk was free to meander around the stable foundation of the tracks.
Despite the mellow vibe of the tracks, Sisk showed lots of energy and his banter helped keep the set from slowing down. If you weren't there, knowing that the band shared members and played country/folk, you'd assume the sounds were the same, but while the Olympic Symphonium tends to speed up the pace, Share seems content to stroll along and enjoy the journey. Highlights of the set included Silhouette and the fantastic harmonies on the Great Before.

Almond toffee bark
Almond Toffee Bark
Makes about 36 pieces
3 cups (10 ounces) sliced almonds
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened)
Preheat oven to 350°F. and oil a large baking sheet.
In a large baking pan spread almonds evenly and toast in middle of oven, stirring nuts halfway through toasting, until golden, about 10 minutes. In a 3-quart heavy saucepan bring butter, sugar, water, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt to a boil over moderate heat, stirring with a wooden spoon. Boil mixture, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally, until deep golden, about 12 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and stir in two thirds almonds. Immediately pour toffee onto baking sheet and with an offset spatula spread in a thin layer. Carefully transfer baking sheet (it will be very hot) to a rack and cool toffee.
Chop chocolate. In a double boiler or a small metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Pour chocolate over cooled toffee and evenly spread with offset spatula. Sprinkle toffee with remaining almonds. Chill toffee, uncovered, until firm, about 1 hour.
Break toffee into 2-inch pieces of "bark." Bark keeps, layered between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container at cool room temperature or chilled, 1 week.

Price Ejected, Reds Lose Fourth Straight
MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee scored three runs on two misjudged balls in the outfield by Chris Heisey, and Wily Peralta pitched seven strong innings in the Brewers' 5-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night.Ryan Braun hit a two-run double in the third on which Heisey took a couple of steps in before retreating as the high liner went over his head. The four-year veteran with 134 career starts in left field apparently lost Carlos Gomez's high fly ball to the warning track in the fourth inning that turned into an RBI ground-rule double that made it 4-0.Peralta (11-6) allowed three hits, including Billy Hamilton's solo homer. Francisco Rodriguez threw a 1-2-3 ninth for his 29th save.Cincinnati's Mat Latos (2-2) gave up four earned runs and eight hits in seven innings.It could have been a much closer game had Heisey made those two plays in left. The lights were on at Miller Park for an evening game that started under overcast skies, though Heisey seemed to be most bothered by the conditions.Arms turned upward near his waist, Heisey looked lost as the fly ball by Gomez bounced a couple of feet away on the warning track. Heisey tried to reach for the ball as it bounced over the wall, and Jean Segura scored from second on a play that could have gotten Latos out of the inning.Gomez then scored on an error by Donald Lutz, subbing for the injured Joey Votto at first base. An errant relay throw by second baseman Ramon Santiago allowed a run to score in the third.The Reds lost again after resuming the season with a three-game sweep by the New York Yankees. Manager Bryan Price was ejected Monday in the sixth inning by home plate umpire David Rackley after Devin Mesoraco got into a heated argument over a called third strike on a checked swing.Peralta, a right-hander with a fastball in the high-90s, overcame an early bout of wildness to win his second straight decision.

With thousands of frame and mat samples, The Great Frame Up can satisfy any and all framing fantasies. The expert framespeople can make diplomas radiate (most diplomas can be framed for around $100), personalized jerseys glisten (most for under $300), and dorm-room movie posters sparkle (many 24x36 pieces are under $100). The design wizards can also find a home for any prized possession, such as shoebox photos, baby booties, ticket stubs, medals, and really good pot roasts. The Great Frame Up's no-hassle guarantee and assurance that all work is done on-site means your frameables won't be subject to mistreatment at underground commercial framing facilities.
FastFrame first germinated in Europe before spreading to Japan, Brazil, Australia, and the United States. A trained local helms each of the 300 locations, and guarantees every design for 30 days and the craftsmanship for a lifetime. Artisans crown original works of art and prints with ornate mouldings. They also store historical artifacts and three-dimensional memorabilia in shadow boxes. FastFrame's team has even been known to frame sports equipment, plasma-screen televisions, and childhood homes.
Sparks of inspiration can flare into big ideas, as evidenced by Ann Jackson's zeal for art, which led to her opening a namesake gallery in historic Roswell in 1971. Initially an exhibit space for works from local, national, and international artists, Ann Jackson Gallery today provides a number of interior-decoration services for homes and commercial buildings, such as custom framing and art consultation and restoration. Now helmed by her three daughters, Ann Jackson Gallery maintains a colorful collection of artwork with a specialization in fine oils, including pieces by Ann Jackson herself. The gallery is also one of a few galleries in the world licensed to represent the art of Dr. Seuss, helping customers achieve the American dream of a sneetch on every wall.
In the spacious room of Sip & Stroke's new location, students of all skill levels pick up brushes and daub pigments onto canvases to create works of art during instructor-guided canvas-painting classes. The art studio especially caters to children, who can take on canvases, clay, or strings of beads on their own, or explore creativity with a parent during Mom & Me sessions. Guests of any age are always free to craft a one-of-a-kind keepsake, creating glittering baubles from the studio's wall of beads or decorating a pre-made ceramic piece that they hand off to experts to glaze and fire.

The American West stands frozen in time at Booth Western Art Museum, an Affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The bronze forms of cowboys and many of the Native Americans encountered by Lewis and Clark populate the sculpture court. At the hall's center stands Vic Payne's Eagle Catcher, a two-story sculpture that depicts a large eagle with its wings outstretched. Its talons lock with the arms of a Native American man who leans backwards as he grapples with the aviary predator—a symbol of the struggle for the American West.
The impressive sculpture is just one stop on the museum's tour, which takes visitors into a permanent collection that comprises more than a dozen galleries and temporary exhibit halls featuring as many as 12 exhibits each year that explore the west from the 1800s through present day. More than 100 traditional paintings and sculptures by the likes of Frederic Remington, Charles Russell, and George Catlin depict cowboys, Native American cultures, and breathtaking natural landscapes in the American West Gallery. Other spaces focus on the Civil War, while the Modern West Gallery interprets the western United States through abstract paintings and other contemporary forms by such artists as Nelson Boren, Thom Ross, and Ed Mell. Beneath the portraits of every U.S. president in the Carolyn and James Millar Presidential Gallery, personal letters written by the robotic arm of each leader humanize the lofty figures of American history.
In addition to exhibits, Booth Western Art Museum hosts adult art classes and seasonal events, such as April's "Civil War Comes Alive!", wherein visitors might stumble upon Abraham Lincoln mid-Gettysburg Address or spot soldiers firing cannons, and October's Southeastern Cowboy Festival & Symposium, which features Native American dancing, gun-fight reenactments, and a traditional western marketplace. Kids can savor hands-on history in Sagebrush Ranch, where a three-quarter-scale stagecoach, an authentic loom, real Western wear, and a bounty of other attractions await to grant little ones with an immersive educational experience.

Worth the Wait
Photographed on Palm Beach, FL while waiting for girlfriend shopping Worth Ave.
Noteworthy: madras plaid button down shirt, says no to drugs.
5/8/2011 at 4:09 PM:
Four people have asked, does anyone know where you can find a cool plaid shirt like this, besides Gant Rugger.
4/17/2011 at 5:32 PM:
I do love that shirt. any suggestions on where I could track one down?
4/17/2011 at 4:05 PM:
Great look. I have been having the darndest time trying to track down a proper plaid shirt. As fornthe shoes, they are great, but check out Martin Dingman american made leather goods. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy Sebagos, but there can never be enough quality footwear in any given collection.
4/15/2011 at 3:10 PM:
What is the significance of the "says no to drugs comment"? Is this sarcastic/a joke, or does Kiel really have an anti-drug stance?
4/15/2011 at 2:11 PM:
F.E.C., will K.J.P ever offer a slightly slimmer (meaning narrower) version of their Repp Bracelet?
4/15/2011 at 11:37 AM:
@khordkutta: Thanks for the response, but I was just funnin' with that question about the bracelet. Meant to be wry about the self-promoting goin' on in the pic. Love the outfit, though!
4/14/2011 at 5:28 PM:
@J: Try the Brooks Bros or VV offerings. Fit is pretty good with both of those. The VV seem to be a slight bit more trim.
4/14/2011 at 5:00 PM:
Anyone know who sells those shorts? I've been looking for a pair just like them, but all the ones I try on are a little too boxy.
4/14/2011 at 4:36 PM:
Kiel looking elegant and comfortable as usual. His best accessory is his wonderful smile.
4/14/2011 at 2:45 PM:
sebago's a classic….i have a pair over the sperry's…it was just what I've always had…though I can't speak out, since I've never worn sperrys before
4/14/2011 at 1:46 PM:
@HK, check his site KielJamesPatrick.com, blow up the pic above and check for a match, hope this helps.
4/14/2011 at 1:34 PM:
Great picture.
About the Sebago Docksides - they are really the finest boat shoe made today (at that price point- around $80-$90). I know purists think it is heresy to wear anything but Sperry's, but do the comparison in person and you'll see.
Also - that's a cool bracelet. Anyone know where he got it from?
4/14/2011 at 1:24 PM:
@FEC - Great! Thanks! I know a couple of stores around my parts that carry Sebagos but I havent found any that sell Sperrys, oddly enough.
4/14/2011 at 1:17 PM:
Absolutely wonderful picture! Kiel, that year-round glow of yours is particularly brilliant in this one!
4/14/2011 at 1:08 PM:
Love the shirt and the shoes. The shoes are Sperry Top Siders, right? I've been looking for a pair just like those.
4/14/2011 at 1:06 PM:
Kiel—Are you reaching in your pocket to pull out a ring for Sarah? Be honest, bro.
PS—Are you guys planning on getting some vendors in Canada to stock your brand?

Loud Luggage / Booming Baggage consists of amplified suitcases which burst, crackle, and explode with noise. Underlying much of GX Jupitter-Larsen's work is a self-created lexicon of personalized units of measurement such as the polywave, the totimorphous, and the xylowave. Forget about metric conversion, this is GX conversion. The polywave is his own personal alternative to the inch. All nations and cultures direct their participants to conform to a master narrative, as if its story was the only one worth measuring. GX has his own story to recount, and that's where the polywave and totimorphous come in. They are the inches he uses to measure his life. A casual observer's literacy of GX's lexicon is optional. The artist employs all misunderstandings as a useful calibration. Comparing a reinterpretation to the original intent gives the artist a deeper awareness of his own thought process. By this means, there is no passive audience, only collaborators.
The Loud Luggage performance is a sonic reference to the xylowave, which GX Jupitter-Larsen defines as the distance between nothing and something.

So today DS turned 10 months. When he was 9 months he was basically - well - a lump on a long lol
He didn't crawl didn't pull to a stand - nothing - just rolled to where he wanted to go
And NOW he does almost it all! Crawls like a bat out of hell, pulls to stand, cruises, he stool briefly by himself today without holding on. Waving on command, more teeth. No walking but it's just crazy how much one month makes.
I was thinking he was behind at his 9 month check up and was worried and asking the Dr. about it and then BAM 1 month later and he is doing all the things at once like just days between each little milestone.
I just find it crazy and overwhelming and wonderful and sad and happy all at the same time!
Who KNOWS what he will be doing at 11 months but I can't wait to find out!!
I feel the same way. It never ceases to amaze me how they go to bed one night not doing something and then the next day, its like they've been doing it forever! Mine was the same way and then within a week and a half, he crawled, pulled to a stand, cruised and now stands for long periods of time. He waves, too but it's about 50/50 if you get one in response. He thinks it's funny when multiple people wave at him and he gets distracted.
Today he was in his high chair and had dropped his cup a couple of times. Every time he dropped it, I'd say "Uh oh!" About the fourth time it fell, he looked at me, laughed and said "Uh oh!" Before I could say it. It was so cute.
I will say, I am such a non-baby person, before my son, I honestly thought the entire first year of a baby's life was like the first three months, just a tiny little blob that didn't do much and needed you for everything. I never realized how fast they really do grow and how much they learn so quickly before they even turn one. I didn't expect to have such a fun little person already.

~ Tony's new reef
Well it's been a long time in the planning, but finally my new system is taking shape. My perc90 has been running for 4 years exactly, sited next to my desk in my study and looking something like this:
Perfect for viewing while sat at my computer, but that's a lot of empty wall, that could be filled with tank
So the plan took shape, an 8.5ft display tank enclosed with a false wall looking more like this:
There were two essential requirements 1. it will be quiet won't it, from my wife 2. the architectural design of the cladding, from my son - and yes, it is intentionally asymmetric by design.
I have my RO unit and make my salt water mixes in a store room in my garage, so it seemed obvious that it become my Sump room moving much of the 'noisy' gear out there. Unfortunately it is 30 ft away across a gravel drive, so an underground pipe would be needed to link them.
I start to realise it is a big jump from a perc90, and there are so many aspects new to me, so everything is tried, altered, and tweaked in Sketchup first. I start to collect the equipment. But delays ensue, a first grandchild absorbs my attention, an operation on both knees curtailed me somewhat for a while, but finally it is happening and about to get wet....
Main display: 2600 x 760 x 760 mm (8.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 ft)
Sump: 1500 x 600 x 450 mm (5 x 2 x 1.5 ft)
The first items to arrive are the stands for the tanks. The door to my study is 760mm which determines the depth from front to back of the stand and hence the display tank. Even then I am going to have to remove a bit of the architrave to get it through.
One for the main display, made from 40mm box section:
and one for the sump, with space for a secondary tank above it, at a later date.
When it came to installing the stand in my study I found I'd forgotten to take into account the fact that a wall in the access corridor meant I couldn't quite get it straight when going through the door so I had to remove all of the door architrave - ah well.
The tanks were ordered and delivered, and to my great relief 255 kg of glass tank traveled serenely via the garden, conservatory, kitchen, a 90 degree turn, and finally through into the study with no problems at all.
Unfortunately a computer disk crash meant that I lost the photos of that epic voyage, before I had a backup of them, so you will just have to imagine it.
The main tank has an end overflow weir into an external box, where a dual standpipe setup will take the water to the remote sump. A third overflow outlet is there in case of any future expansions and will be blanked off for now. The overflow slot itself was cut out of the end panel by drilling 2 holes and snapping the straights - I am told. It made a good job of teh slot.
The tank base is drilled with 3 x 50mm outlets at the back, and 4 x 40mm returns at the front. These provide the upflow for the coral face.
Additional over the top returns will provide circulatory 'tidal' flow around the tank.
The braces are spaced to take 4 Lumenarc reflectors
Plumbing was the next job to sort. I started drawing it all in 3D in Sketchup, which worked but started to get slow as I added more and more detail.
I therefore switched to a 2D view of the pipework, which was far easier to work with. I measured each bend and made the appropriate model, then played with various combinations until I was happy. This is the result.
Firstly the 4 front base returns. These are fed from one 10k Sequence pump via a 4-way OceansMotions so that flow alternates diagonally left then right.
Each arm is calculated to offer the same flow resistance, using the 'straight pipe' equivalence for each of the bends. The pump feeds straight up into the OM unit, and the pump inlet and outlet have a decent straight run to avoid problems.
The fittings all have the pipe insertion depth as part of the Sketchup model, so it was simple to add dimensions and get the pipe lengths for every piece.
I cut each pipe to the nearest millimeter, using a large pipe cutter. The resultant - a perfect fit for every piece
Further details of the pipe layout. Note each pump has a long straight feeding it.
The over top feeds are arranged diagonally, so that I can change the flow direction every few hours, and cut down of pumps running at any one time. (A small attempt at some economy)
A side view gave me the layout design and vertical pipe lengths. Also ensuring that the pipe runs are clear of each other.
and the other overtop pipe run. The right hand pipe has an odd 3D-pair of 45 degree bends to both turn through 45 degrees on the plan view and drop enough to pass under the crossing blue pipe.
So time to put all that into practice, and begin to add the plumbing.
The perc90 had been moved to the right hand wall a few months ago, to make room for the new tank.
In the meantime I needed to organize the underground pipe to the sump room.
This consists of 3 x 50mm MDPE pipes inside a 160mm drain buried 2 feet deep. The pipes were wrapped in a double layer of the aluminised bubble wrap for insulation, before being inserted into the drain pipe.
Using MDPE water pipe meant I had no joints underground and the run was smooth, both for good flow and the occasional clean-out of bacterial film if that proves necessary. The disadvantage is that the bends are a large radius. So back to sketchup to see what I could achieve with 1.6m diameter curves.
A couple of 30 deg bends in the 160mm pipe seemed to work, and a straight connection was adjusted to fit the slow radius bend.
And to give you some idea of the pipe run:
I love these giant build threads !
Keep me sane at work late at night !!

text: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has at long last released funding for a wide variety of grant programs. If you're familiar with DHS grants, then you know the application period typically runs from January to December. The reason behind the delay this year was the budget battle that played out in Congress, postponing the release of grant funding until formal federal budget approval. If you are not familiar with DHS grants, rest assured that this does not prevent you from taking advantage of this potential funding source. There are several details than any interested agency must know, particularly the due date, application requirements, and each grant program's funding priorities. Obtaining this information is as easy as reviewing each program's guidelines. However, having a true understanding of how to develop your request and ensure it scores well in the review process is insight the guidelines cannot provide. For this information, I invite you to attend the upcoming Developing Your DHS Grant Request for 2011 Success. This webinar will cover the application requirements, review past winning projects, and offer tips & tricks for developing a winning request. Register to attend today!
