.- The Patriarch of Jerusalem, Archbishop Fouad Twal, encouraged Jews, Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land this week to embrace dialogue and collaboration in order to overcome "the conflict and violence" in the region, and thus reap the fruits of the recent visit by Pope Benedict XVI.
Speaking on Vatican Radio, the archbishop underscored that "the Church has always been an element of peace, collaboration and pacification. Therefore we hope to be able to advance in this mission."
Commenting on the formation of Christians, the Patriarch explained that "especially in Jordan and Palestine, we who live with Muslims see our schools turned into places of dialogue and of life when young people play and study together. Through them we are in contact with Muslim families, the same families who come to us with so much trust."
"This is the safest method—even after 20 years—to prepare people to get to know each other, respect and love each other," the Patriarch said. The teaching imparted "by Catholic schools should be a means for conveying our values of respect, dignity and dialogue," he added.
The Patriarch went on to say that the aid Christians receive in the Holy Land helps keep them present in the region, as "many young couples cannot even celebrate their wedding or start a family because they don't have the resources to build a home."
"With the aid from these organizations, we can ensure housing for these young Christian couples. And this is one of the many means to give them hope," he said.
Referring later to the visit by Pope Benedict XVI to the Holy Land, the Patriarch said the Pope's visit "has sowed many things. It has sowed peace, dialogue and reconciliation. We hope to be able to reap the fruits in the future, for the good of all the inhabitants and for the good of peace in the Holy Land."

Timothy Leadership Training
"TLTI" stands for Timothy Leadership Training Institute, an organization that took root in Africa in the 1990's and has since developed rapidly throughout the world. The mission of Timothy Leadership Training Institute is to train pastors, evangelists and lay leaders, enabling them to build viable and healthy congregations and communities in the spirit of 2 Timothy 2:2, "Entrust what you have heard from me to those who will be qualified to teach others." TLT goals include the growth of faith, generosity and productive work accounted for through regular reporting.
See how we are working in Kenya and Guinea.
Overcoming the Ebola Epidemic
In response to the Ebola crisis in West Africa, TLTI has produced a training guide, Overcoming the Ebola Epidemic. This manual is designed to help people overcome the panic, suspicion and fear that have overrun immediate health concerns in many areas of West Africa (notably Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone). Overcoming the Ebola Epidemic sheds light on the current crisis from the Christian view of creation, brokenness, restoration and hope for the future. In each lesson, participants formulate an action plan to accomplish some practical form of responsible and compassionate Christianity. Currently, TLTI is working to print quantities of this guide and train people who are already familiar with TLT training in the facilitation of this guide. To contribute to this project, please click here to select "Ebola Manual Project" from the list of choices.

IT ISN'T ENOUGH TO KNOW ABOUT GOD. YOUNG PEOPLE WANT TO FEEL THE PULSE OF GOD. It's no secret. Young people are leaving the church and abandoning the faith because they find more life outside than inside the church. Too often, worship is part of the problem. It just isn't relevant to the lives they live. For some, worship is a show. Other times, it's a hollow ritual. Yet, young people want more than silly gimmicks and boring routines. They want to know God with their entire being, make authentic connections with God in worship, and engage the mystery of God with all their senses. And, that's what anima is for.
anima exists to help young people connect their imagination, creativity, and enthusiasm to all the possibilities inherent in worship and the arts. In a world where violence and division dominate and words are often inadequate, anima will empower young people to use their artistic gifts to cultivate unity and beauty in the church. Then, anima will prompt young people to channel their creative passions into a life of worship that glorifies God and advances the kingdom of God in the world - a kingdom of mercy, justice, and peace.
anima. generating and restoring life through teenagers, worship, and the arts. We need help building it, and we want everyone to be involved. Interested? Send church leaders, congregations, and young people our way. Let's create anima together.
Worship has the potential to be the most important training ground for young people to hear and tell the story of God working in the world. And, worship has the potential to be the place where young people are regularly reminded that they are made in the image of God, that they matter in the kingdom of God, and that they have a place in the body of Christ, just as they are. Yet, churches have limited the role of young people in worship. Congregations have permitted young people to lead worship only a few times a year rather than on a weekly basis. They have placed young people in separate buildings and spaces, away from adults and children, robbing the church of all ages the opportunity to worship with the complete body of Christ. They have falsely told young people that they are the "future of the church." Yet, teenagers are the church in the present. Teenagers are the church now.
anima begins with several initiatives
The Forum on the Web. First and foremost, anima is an online gathering place. This online forum will encourage congregations to engage young people in worship leadership regularly. It will soon include numerous resources young people can use to explore, learn, and experiment with worship leadership. It will empower young people to create and lead worship gatherings that are meaningful, relevant, and powerful. Then, it will prompt young people to share their worship gatherings through social media.
Animate. Animate is a hands-on worship workshop to equip young artists for worship leadership and encourage congregations to regularly engage young people in worship. With guidance from prominent liturgical theologians and worship practitioners, participants will work together and independently to discuss worship. Then, with prompting from artists of all types, they will create resources to use in worship with their own congregations.
Animate 2015 is from June 29-July 3 at Samford University. Click here for up-to-date Animate information.
The Elisha Project. The Elisha Project is an effort to equip faculty and students at Samford University to mentor and serve young people interested in worship and the arts. This will occur on campus through classroom discussions, seminars, and guest lecturers in worship and the arts. Additionally, the Elisha Project will provide scholarship monies for Samford students to attend worship seminars and workshops off campus to carefully examine the relationship between adolescent spirituality, worship, theology, and the arts.

MONTES CLAROS, Brazil—Springs Global reported a net loss of $15.7 million in its third quarter ending Sept. 30, reversing net income of $7.6 million from the third quarter of last year.
The drop in the bottom line occurred in spite of a 3 percent gain in net sales to $329.8 million, which was helped by the appreciation of the quarterly average conversion rate of the Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar from the third quarter of 2009 to this year's third quarter. Using these conversion rates, however, selling expenses rose 18 percent from last year to this year, and Springs also experienced a 63 percent fall in the benefit it received from exchange-rate variations worldwide. These factors led to a 97 percent decline in operating income for the quarter.
In its statement discussing the quarterly results, Springs said a decrease in overall sales in North America offset strong sales gains in the Brazilian market. Looking at its separate product categories, fashion bedding worldwide posted a 7.4 percent sales increase in the quarter. However, the bath segment's sales fell 7 percent, and sales of utility bedding dropped 24 percent.

Rivals still way behind Shumlin in fundraisingMONTPELIER Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Milne has raised just over $20,000 in his quest to unseat Democrat Peter Shumlin, according to campaign finance documents filed Tuesday.
Milne, a businessman from Pomfret, announced on the last day to final as a candidate June 12 that he would challenge Shumlin. Since then, he has raised $20,420, his disclosure form reveals. Milnes campaign has also taken loans totaling $355 and received $900 from either him or his immediate family. His expenditures total $600.
Milne is engaged in a Republican primary race against Emily Peyton and Steve Berry. Peyton said she received $255 in contributions to date, while campaign finance reports for Berry were not posted, suggesting he had not raised or spent more than $500.
About half the amount Milne has raised $10,000 appears to come from one family, the Boises, in five $2,000 donations. Just $2,000 of Milnes cash, including $500 from his parents, is from Vermont residents.
I think were on target. Weve got a plan. Well run a credible, grass-roots campaign with $200,000. Were on track with that, Milne said Tuesday. Right now were on track and were happy.
Milne said he opened a campaign bank account only Friday and is beginning to put together a fundraising apparatus. A fundraising staff position will be announced soon, he said.
I think I made three phone calls for money, and all three of those people donated. I dont know if Im going to be the traditional candidate that spends half of my time dialing for dollars, Milne said. Were getting an organization set up. Its going to be sort of a guerrilla-type organization.
Shumlin, meanwhile, already had more than $1 million in his campaign coffers heading into this election season. He reported an additional $93,350 raised during this latest reporting period, bringing his total for this election to about $510,000. He has nearly $1.08 million in cash on hand.
Shumlin also reported spending $24,143 during the last three months and $65,435 for the election cycle.
Shumlins campaign treasurer didnt respond to an interview request by Tuesday evening. Todays campaign finance filing continues to demonstrate strong support for Gov. Shumlins efforts to grow jobs, expand economic opportunity and strengthen Vermonts quality of life, said a statement released by his treasurer, Kate OConnor.
The governors challenger in the Democratic primary, H. Brooke Paige, of Washington, had no filing on campaign finance by Tuesday afternoon.
Milne said he is unfazed by Shumlins fundraising dominance, citing the recent defeat of U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican, as an example where money did not prevail.
I think we saw with Eric Cantor that money is, yes, an important part of things, but not a decider. Votes decide things, Milne said. People who give you $10 are engaged and a part of things. So, well be happy with a $10 donation.
Also on Tuesday, Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Scott reported raising $52,500 during the reporting period and $61,000 for the election cycle. He also carried over $45,276 from his last campaign and has $78,325 in cash on hand, according to his filing. He reported spending of $22,413 since March, and $28,000 total for the campaign.
After qualifying for public financing, Scotts opponent, Progressive Dean Corren, will have $50,000 to spend on the primary and can request a further $150,000 if he advances to the general election. According to Correns filing, he collected more than $19,000 in small donations, enough to meet the public financing threshold.
Other statewide candidates also filed ahead of the deadline. State Auditor Doug Hoffer, a Progressive with backing by Democrats, raised $4,460 and spent $4,044 in this reporting period. Democratic Secretary of State Jim Condos raised $1,277 and carried over $8,000 from his last campaign. He spent $1,855 during the reporting period and $3,155 on the campaign to date.
Democratic Treasurer Beth Pearce, meanwhile, raised $4,571 for a total of $21,561 for the election cycle. She spent $3,560 during the period, for a total of $11,819 in expenditures.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
25 I want to lay all this out on the table as clearly as I can, friends. This is complicated. It would be easy to misinterpret what's going on and arrogantly assume that you're royalty and they're just rabble, out on their ears for good. But that's not it at all. This hardness on the part of insider Israel toward God is temporary. Its effect is to open things up to all the outsiders so that we end up with a full house. | 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. |

More reviews by HelloKitty8698
I've had this brush along with other EM brushes for about 5 years now and I still love them as much as the very first day I bought them. They never everrr shed and are super soft on my sensitive skin. I've never felt a softer brush, seriously! Best of all they're cruelty free and eco friendly, what's not to love about them :)
This is such an amazing brush. Super soft, small and easy to use. Provides very good coverage with my Bare Minerals.
Thumbs up!!!
Seriously very underwhelmed with this product.. Its compact, soft, bristles don't shed but something is not right about the way it works. If anybody out there is wondering whether to go with this brush or the ELF studio brush, suggest you try the ELF first..
I have an older brush but I will put my review here since there doesn't seem to be an old flat top brush review page. Well, I got this brush back in 2009 along with my 5 free samples of mineral powder. I must say that since 2 years ago, with constant washing of this brush every 2 weeks, it has barely shed at all- maybe 1 synthetic hair coming out every month, if even that. It's held up in such good condition and it's one of the softest brushes I've ever swiped over my face. It's dense and very plush and applies foundation well. I marked that I would buy this again, but at this rate, I'm not going to get a replacement any time soon. If anything, I'll buy another as a backup, when the day finally comes.
Initially, I was in love with this brush as everybody else. It's so incredibly soft! And then after a few days of getting it, it revealed it's true colors. Jeng jeng jeng. It sheds! I saw a hair slightly longer and I tugged on it gently only to see that it was not attached at all. So I examined every hair that was sticking out and they were all not attached. After I washed it, I thought it would get rid of all the hairs but noOoOo, it continued to shed. When I applied foundation, some of the hairs would shed and stick on my face. Thought I got a defective one so I ordered another one together with their long handled kabuki brush and both sheds.
More reviews by piecesofpurple
Wow, I've never seen so many pictures for any other product on Makeup Alley! Even though I didn't need another makeup brush, I felt compelled to see what all the fuss is about regarding this foundation brush and I'm so, so, so glad I tried it! I've been using all kinds of brushes from the Ultimate line of synthetic brushes and I've been happy with them because in comparison to animal haired brushes (Jane Iredale, Bare Escentuals, etc), the synthetic bristles are so much softer. Synthetic hairs are also great for sensitive skinned women, especially acne prone women. It's funny because we don't actually realize how bad our brushes are until we experience something better, lol, (like a lot of other things in life, too!).
I received this brush and it felt like it should probably be washed because it had most likely been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long and it felt a bit dusty. So, I washed it right away (around 6pm) and when I went to use it at 8am the following morning, it was still really wet, but I used it anyway. I'm really not digging the wet method of foundation application. But, anyway, the following day, once the bristles fully dried, I was absolutely mesmerized at how soft the bristles truly are! I then used my old flat top buffer brush from the Ultimate line and it felt like sandpaper in comparison (and that;s not a low end brush, either). I could feel the tiny bristles poking my face with the Ultimate brush, but with the EDM brush, even when I use it to stiple on foundation, I can't feel the individual bristles.
Long story short: beautiful, unparalleled brush in my experience! The size is perfect, it fits so well in my hand, and the price can't really be beat for the quality. I've read that they used to be much cheaper, but 12 dollars is still a fair price for a brush that I'll use for such a long time.
Hopefully it'll last and won't shed! Only time will tell. But, I'm very happy that this product lived up to all the hype : )
These are the softest, most durable brushes. I have four of these and 2 long handled kabuki brushes. I have a makeup forever kabuki brush that I bought for so much more. I use this more often. It's as soft as the makeup forever kabuki brush and doesn't irritate skin. It picks up makeup very well. I use this brush for mineral makeup, pressed powder. I bought other Everyday Minerals brushes too, like the eye kabuki brush. I use the eye kabuki brush for applying eye shadows (light golden, pink, all over colors). The flat top brush is my fav brush. The oldest one I've had it for 5 years or so but I can't tell which one's newer and which ones are older. I don't regret having 3 backups at a time either.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is such a great mineral make up brush! I have only used this with mineral make up so I cannot comment on how this is with other types of foundation (ie; cream, liquid).
Compared to the other mineral make up brushes that I have (BE and Pur Minerals), this is MUCH softer. The other mineral brushes are prickly and I feel like my face is itchy when I wear use them! Horrible!
It was very cheap via the website as well so I HIGHLY recommend this!
I purchased three of these brushes, they are very soft. You can apply liquid, powder foundation very well and all over powder too. My problem came after a few months, the brushes began to shed. One brush I had to throw away because the brisles came out in three chunks. The brushes weren't too pricey but they weren't dirt cheap either. I wish the brushes were more sturdy
OMG this is the best brush ever!!!!! I got one yesterday afetr reading all the glowing reviews and now i don't know how i ever lived without it!! Here are the pros:
So so soft
Very ease to use
Buffs mineral foundation on like an absolute dream
Cruelty free
Perfect size
Amazing quality
No cons whatsoever!!!!!
I think it would work well with any mineral foundation, but it is gorgeous for buffing on the EM foundation (i use the intensive formula).
If you use mineral foundation then you must must purchase this. I'm thinking of ordering a back up one and i've only had mine for a day!!!!! ;-) x

When I received this Earth Angel it was a huge, gorgeous speciman; great root system, lots of eyes, huge leaves. It's been dwindling ever since. Leaves turn yellow and brown, shrivel up and die off, so I just removed it from the pot and the roots look like limp spaghetti. Discolored and dangling uselessly, they're easily pulled off. That's just a few of the roots that came off, lying in the dirt next to the plant. |

Here's a close-up of the roots. You can see some white, healthy ones still remain. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong, and is this fixable? |
- Posted by paul_in_mn 4b (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 17:35
I'm guessing too much moisture, it wasn't draining in the pots. Roots need some air and roots were continually soaked.....add pine bark mulch (the small finer mix, not the bigger nuggets). I use 50/50 with Pro-Mix potting soil. BTW, don't use moisture retentive potting mix that have the crystals. Paul |
- Posted by HostaTakeover 6a swMO (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 17:41
That makes sense, Paul, thank you. It did appear to be unusually wet, though I've only watered it once or twice since potting it up. I only have red mulch on hand. Do you think that would be safe to use? The bark pieces are pretty small. |
- Posted by ken_adrian MI z5 (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 18:21
they are dead.. they did not make the transplant.. only the white ones are live .. if it lives.. you will have a very small hosta next year ... with no history of when or how you got a huge plant... nor why you potted it.. etc .... i can not guess why it failed ... back in the day.. been there.. done that ... live and learn ... ken |
- Posted by HostaTakeover 6a swMO (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 18:48
Yep, this isn't the first time this has happened to me, either, working with potted Hostas, but at least I finally know what I'm doing wrong. Yay! ALL my Hostas get potted up before planting, as digging holes here is extremely difficult. Granite and hard, red clay ensure only two holes can be dug in a day (I dig LARGE holes because the ground is so Hosta hostile). Age, heat and humidity also slow me down, but I'm determined to continue growing my Hosta garden, and at a faster pace than I've been doing it. |
Hosta Takeover, I think Paul is right about too wet. It also appears that you have regular dirt in your pot. Was that dug from someone's garden? If the pot is just a holding place, you will have to move faster on the holes or pot them up to live in a pot. Dirt won't work in a pot. You hose off all the dirt and put it in potting soil (only if it comes from a garden). If it's to stay in a pot for very long, You'll you need a good quality potting soil. Miracle Grow is about the only thing available here. I have a lot of pots, so I mix a 40 qt. bag of Miracle Grow regular potting soil and a bag of the smallest pine bark mulch I can find. I throw the big pieces into the mulch and keep the rest of it in the mix. I store it in a big plastic trash can. Make sure the pot has plenty of holes in it for drainage. Fill the pot from the bottom to the top with the same mix. Don't use rocks or anything to "help the drainage". If we've totally missed it, let us know and we'll try again. bk |
- Posted by HostaTakeover 6a swMO (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 20:54
Thank you, bkay. No, it arrived bare root and I potted it, like everything else, in straight Miracle Grow Potting Mix. The MGPM has been hit or miss the last two years, with some bags being heavy and dense while other bags seem to actually repel water. I go through about 80 2 cubic foot bags per year, planting primarily Hostas. Had to literally toss 2 bags last year because the material simply would not absorb any water. Weird. The plastic pots are just the kind you'd get when purchasing a shrub or plant from a nursery. Plenty of drainage holes. Anyway, when I do finally get the plants in the ground they get about 50/50 mix of the dirt I dug and MGPM. I think the addition of pine bark will eliminate the problem I've had occasionally with what apparently is root rot. I did notice when I removed the Earth Angel that the soil was exceedingly wet and very dense at the bottom of the pot, so there just wasn't enough drainage and aeration going on. Sadly, it went into a much smaller pot today. :( |
- Posted by moccasinlanding z9A AL (My Page) on Sat, Jul 12, 14 at 21:13
Use the bark, smallest pieces you can get. Do NOT use the red mulch unless it is pine bark. You'll have another problem with fungi growing on the wood particles. Not meant for pots. I don't know how MiracleGro can be so variable in quality. Are you buying MG Garden Soil? Whole different product from the MG Potting Mix. Like BKay, I mix a big 64 qt size of MGPotting Mix (no moisture control in what I get), And then I put a 2 cu ft bag of the pine bark mini-nuggets, whatever is the smallest size pieces of bark. I add a bit of vermiculite, and some spagnum peat moss and then some crushed crab shell to taste. Actually that is a personal matter, you won't need to do it. Make sure those holes in your pots are on the sides of the nursery pots. Most are, but who knows there might be a style pot that is only on bottoms. In which case, elevate the pots to let water drain easily. |

Brabham's 1964 grand prix contender was the BT11, fitted with the Coventry Climax 1.5-liter FWMV V-8 engine. The 11A was essentially the same, except that the larger 2.5- (or 2.7-) liter Coventry Climax FPF four-banger was slotted in for Tasman and Formule Libre races. This is convenient for vintage racers, because the four makes about 240 horsepower compared with the V-8's 200 horsepower, and most events for pre-1966 GP cars admit both types. Philip Walker's BT11A, chassis IC-1-64, was delivered new to Charles Vgele in Switzerland.
Typical for a racing car of this era, the Brabham has a multitube spaceframe chassis, with the engine behind the driver. This car's original Hewland HD5 transaxle has five forward speeds. The front suspension is by classical upper and lower control arms with coil-over dampers; there's a transverse top link, a lower control arm, two long radius arms, and coil-overs at the back. This car should have thirteen-inch-diameter wheels and tires, but it has to run fifteens at the back because the correct size of tire isn't available. Compared with the Lotus, the BT11A displays how wheel rims got wider at the back and tire profiles got lower. With fuel and a driver on board, the BT11A weighs just 1234 pounds.
The Brabham was the fastest of our four cars around Donington, outperforming the Porsche in acceleration, under braking, and through the fast corners. Although the Dunlop racing tires on the Brabham were two years old and felt rock-hard, the car still generated 1.22 g's through Donington's dauntingly fast Craner curves when Andy Wolfe was driving. Lower weight, a more sophisticated suspension, and the traction offered by a mid-engined layout help explain the performance improvement over the Lotus.
Of course, the Brabham feels the most like a modern racing car. You sit very low, in a semireclined driving position, grasping a small-diameter steering wheel, with the shift lever to your right. There's a lot less bodywork and a lot less room in the cockpit. Very little of the car ahead of you is visible, except for the tops of the wheels. You're aware that there is a lot more mass behind you, too, as you're much closer to the front wheels, and you need a good sense of spatial awareness to get the best from it.
The Brabham gets along very smartly out of the corners, thanks to an impressive weight-to-power ratio of 5.1 pounds per horsepower. The car dives noticeably under braking, but it's possible to get on the brakes really late. Whereas the older cars like to be rotated on the throttle, you can brake the Brabham up to the apex of a corner, taking advantage of its greater front-end bite. The steering is light and deft but loads up perfectly with g-force. Out of the corners, traction is better than that of the older cars, although the handling is still throttle-dependent. Brabhams are said to be user-friendly, which seems to be a synonym for "tail-happy." Another corollary of the engine's location is a lowered polar moment of inertia, which means that it rotates more willingly than the two front-engined cars, but it also gets back into line faster if you respond quickly.

In this Elizabeth Lesser keynote the co-founder of Omega institute talks about the process, negative impacts and how to counteract "otherising." Otherising is the act in which an individual or culture begins to demonize another group of people as different and therefore as a threat. Negative otherising is the first step that leads to violent extremism and widespread hate.
Lesser uses the metaphor of an individual's inner mystic and warrior and how the warrior tends to overcome one's mystic nature when otherising. The cure to this is what Lesser refers to as "taking the other to lunch." Invite someone whose opinions, beliefs and lifestyles conflict with your own (to a reasonable degree). Talk about shared experiences, what issues concern you and ask a question you've always wanted to ask from someone on the "other" side. By doing so you are effectively dropping all pretense of "know-it-all" behavior and are making a positive choice to encourage diversity and inclusion.

Vision Vancouver won't return Trish Kelly to its election slate for November
The reinstatement of Trish Kelly as a park board candidate is out of the question for Vision Vancouver.
While there are suggestions in the community that Mayor Gregor Robertson's party didn't stand up for Kelly, that isn't going to change anything.
"I don't think it's a question of reinstatement," Vision executive director Stepan Vdovine told the Straight in a phone interview today (July 24).
On July 17, Vision announced the withdrawal of Kelly as one of its park board candidates.
That was three days after political commentator Raymond Tomlin posted Kelly's tongue-in-cheek video about masturbation online.
Tomlin has since called for Kelly's reinstatement, writing on his VanRamblings blog that it was Vision, and not he, who dropped Kelly.
On July 23, seven women organizers with the OneCity party issued a statement challenging institutions to "meet the courage" of women candidates "with courage of their own".
"At OneCity, we found it chilling that the decision-makers who hold power at Vision failed to act to affirm their support for Trish Kelly," declared the statement. "Political parties need to say loudly and repeatedly that a woman's (or anyone's) appearance, private life, gender identity and sexuality do not diminish their worth as a candidate. In fact, progressive political parties need to fully embrace the diversity and sex-positive activism of women."
Cara Ng was one of those who signed the OneCity statement. Asked today (July 24) if she thinks that Vision can make things right by taking back Kelly, Ng told the Straight by phone, "I don't know whether we can say reinstate because Trish Kelly's official position was resignation."
"I do think it's ultimately up to her to decide what position she wants to take on that," Ng added.
A day after Kelly's withdrawal was announced by Vision, the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE) issued a statement that read in part, "People of all political parties and all genders must be especially vigilant to ensure that politics is an open and safe space for women and other non-male identified participants."
That statement was attributed to co-chair Heather Gies. Asked by phone if she thinks that Vision should rename Kelly as a candidate, Gies responded, "The issue here for me and for COPE is that there should be no bullying of this kind in politics, and that goes across the political spectrum."
Gies continued: "This isn't really a partisan issue. It's totally unacceptable for women to be disproportionately targeted in this way, and to be bullied out of politics whether that's as a candidate or in any capacity."
Asked whether or not Vision stood up for Kelly, Gies said, "I really don't know exactly what happened."
Vdovine maintained that it was Kelly's decision to drop out.
"We've had many long conversations with Trish, and she's made a decision that it was best, that it was in her personal interest, and that it was in the interest of the party for her to step down as a candidate," Vdovine said.
He added that the Vision executive will meet soon to determine how to replace Kelly in the party's park board slate.
OneCity, One Candidate, One Voice. How embarrassing. A shame to see Cara Ng associated with this mess.

Kurt Bardella, the spokesperson who played Issa in that Kurtz interview, addresses the error directly in Lizza's profile—no doubt part of the reason Lizza phoned Kurtz to check in. And Bardella—a cocky twenty-seven year-old D.C. press kid who later in the piece says he likes to admire God's work on the promo models, or "chicks," at trade shows—pulls no punches about the media, and his role in it.
Over lunch at Bistro Bis, a French restaurant near the Capitol, Bardella was surprisingly open in his disparagement of the media. He said, "Some people in the press, I think, are just lazy as hell. There are times when I pitch a story and they do it word for word. That's just embarrassing. They're adjusting to a time that demands less quality and more quantity. And it works to my advantage most of the time, because I think most reporters have liked me packaging things for them. Most people will opt for what's easier, so they can move on to the next thing. Reporters are measured by how often their stuff gets on Drudge. It's a bad way to be, but it's reality."
He marvelled that the Daily Beast recently reported that Issa was fond of referring to himself in the third person. The reporter who wrote the story, Howard Kurtz, had in fact been interviewing Bardella when he thought he was talking to the congressman on the phone. (Kurtz later said that Bardella didn't indicate that he wasn't Issa when they spoke.) "I think anyone who knows me well enough knows I'm far too fond of myself to abdicate my own identity in favor of someone else's," Bardella told me.
No doubt.
Issa himself then outlines the media strategy he and Bardella are employing now that Issa is playing on the national stage.
The task for Issa Enterprises is thus to help Issa make the change from an outsider, grandstanding for talk-radio partisans and conservative bloggers, to a responsible committee chairman. "You've got to move from the right to the center," Issa told me. "If there was a blog with five listeners or viewers, I had to be on it. Now I have to be on fewer media, but more substantive media. What we're really trying to do is move an agenda, and that requires that we have the support of the American people and at least a big chunk of Democrats."
It's somewhat gratifying to imagine that Bardella—who has some cogent points, even if they were grotesquely couched—might be less cocky after reading Lizza's article. This is no pre-packaged grab for Drudge. And this is the opposite of lazy. This is the substantive media. And its verdict on his boss is one of the few embarrassing things about it.

TORONTO – Canadians who have clung to their aging BlackBerrys finally have an upgrade.
BlackBerry's new touch-screen device — the BlackBerry Z10 — is available in stores across the country today.
In contrast to some of Apple's product launches, however, the mood outside key Toronto stores was subdued.
There was no lineup at the Rogers store that was the site of the iPhone's launch in Canada and it was similarly quiet at Rogers headquarters, where chief executive Thorsten Heins met with the telecom carrier's CEO for a staged event.
The launch comes after several delays left some longtime BlackBerry fans sticking with their older phones or switching to a competitor's phone.
Some analysts have been concerned that BlackBerry's launch came too late to recover the lustre of its name.
But anecdotes from the U.K., where the phone launched last week, suggest the new BlackBerry is selling at a steady pace.
The company's stock was up a again in pre-market trade in the United States, following a 15 per cent increase on Monday. Despite the recent runup, BlackBerry stock remains below a 52-week high set on Jan. 24 following a spate of declines attributed to profit-taking by investors.
BlackBerry chief executive Thorsten Heins told the BNN business television channel Tuesday that early sales in the United Kingdom and pre-registration results in Canada are encouraging.
"I don't have the firm number yet but we also see people migrating from other platforms back to BlackBerry. I think this is a very important snippet. We need to verify that data, but if we can achieve that I think we've achieved a lot."
Heins said the BlackBerry's launch into the United States, the company's biggest customer base by far, is coming later because of the extensive testing required by the U.S. carriers and the regulatory process.
"I'd love to be earlier. Don't get me wrong. I'm not happy with it, but at the moment it is what it is. What we have said is we're shipping in the first quarter of 2013, and that's what we're doing," Heins said.
Fans of the phone's physical keyboard will have to wait awhile longer — the new keypad version of the device won't launch until sometime in April.
The Z10 is expected to typically sell for $150 on a three-year contract. Koodo is selling it without a contract for $550.
While the physical keyboard has long been an essential and beloved tool of so-called CrackBerry addicts, the move to release the touchscreen first was signalled by the company last spring.
The revamped models, which are powered by a whole new operating system, are widely seen as a make-or-break product for the company. After two major delays some in the technology sector had grown skeptical over whether BlackBerry would survive long enough in its current form to get the phones to the market.
The BlackBerry 10 devices were originally due for release last year but chief executive Thorsten Heins decided they still weren't ready for the public, even though they had already been delayed once before.
It was one of the difficult decisions the CEO had to make when he took over the top position last January from then co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis. He also dug deep into the company's operations to cut costs, which included closing manufacturing facilities and making thousands of job cuts.

Its going great, said Friends President Nancy Currier. We wanted to brighten up a winter weekend and its working. Currier said an event built around chocolate in the dead of winter is just what the doctor ordered. Chocolate has a healing, medicinal quality, Currier said. So in a way you could call this a public service. With the band Dont Quit Your Day Job whipping up some toe-tapping bluegrass music and the dark chocolate fountain flowing freely, those in attendance appeared to be enjoying this first of what organizers hope will be an annual event. Delicious, said Warrensburg High School junior Carla Pelekai, as she dipped a pretzel into a cup of melted dark chocolate. Who doesnt like chocolate? About a dozen volunteers, mostly members of the groups board, assisted with the event that included live music, two chocolate fountains, a bake sale and a beverage sale. The Friends of Johnsburg Library will use proceeds from Saturdays event to fund several initiatives, Currier said. Crafts for kids and adults, she said, rattling off a list. Books, buying equipment, anything the library needs above and beyond its budget. The Chocolate Friend-zy will augment the groups main fundraiser, a book sale held annually the first weekend in August. Thats our big event, Currier said. Hopefully this will develop into something big too.
