Coordinator: Patricia McKenna, Ireland The minutes of the last meeting held in 2010 were read. Muriel Saidlear, Ireland, agreed to take the minutes for this year's AGM. It was agreed that minutes giving such lengthy details of discussions and speakers would not be required in future.
l. Financial Report Lave Broch, Denmark, gave his comments in addition to the report. Under the heading Income/expenditure An entry under Isafold, Iceland: reading l SEK is set to 1,3438 DKK, was corrected to read l DKK is set to l,3438 SEK After this correction was made the Financial Report was passed and the meeting thanked Lave Broch for his work as Treasurer.
Report of work over the past year TEAM helped in relation to the campaign for a referendum on Eurozone membership in Estonia by organizing meetings, opinion polls and data which could be used in the future. This work was recognized as being very useful by the Estonian campaign. It was pointed out that keeping up-to-date lists of TEAM membership was very time-consuming and onerous and it was suggested that one member of the incoming Board should be appointed to take responsibility for this task. The length of time in which to pursue subscriptions in the case of non-payment was decided to be one year after which, having given the affiliate notice, TEAM membership would terminate. UKIP has not paid its subscription for the year 2010-11. It was therefore decided to allow UKIP's membership to lapse. The TEAM webpage, which Luise Hemmer-Pihl, Denmark, had agreed to operate for the year 2010-11 to replace the Slovenian operator who had stood down, was functioning but not to its full potential. It needed to be up-dated every day if possible to attract a wide audience. It was decided that a website consisting of information from Open Europe, EU Observer, and reports from different affiliates should be posted perhaps in the form of a newsletter which would be controlled and under the auspices of TEAM. The Link with Facebook,Twitter, etc. which would give immediate access with photographic input etc. could be used as a backup but without TEAM being responsible. This latter would be organized and operated by the young Norwegian members. A deadline should be set for entries to this website link inputs.
Work Programme for 2011-12 This overlapped to some extent with Item No.4 on the Agenda, Report on work over the past year. Regarding the website discussion, John Boyd, UK, said he would be willing to help in a small way. The Norwegian Youth group offered to help to operate the Link aspect of the website and in this context it was decided that they should be invited to become members of the Board irrespective of the fact that Norway would have the largest national group on the board. Lave Broch gave a report from the People's Movement in Denmark on the upcoming Danish referendum. There will be a referendum in 2012 on EU justice policy and EU military policy – the exact date is not yet fixed. There is a Danish court case due to start on 26 March 2012 dealing with the validity of the Danish ratification of the Lisbon Treaty. The presidency of the EU will be held by Denmark in the first part of 2012. It was agreed that TEAM should help in every way possible in Denmark's referendum and in Iceland's referendum on EU membership. The situation in Croatia needed to be handled with care to avoid TEAM becoming involved with extreme racists campaigners in the upcoming referendum on Croatia's application for EU membership.
Endorsement of new TEAM affiliates There were no new affiliates.
Nominations Committee It was proposed that this Committee be discontinued. However, because of TEAM's Constitution this will have to wait until next year's AGM when a formal proposal to amend the constitution to this effect be put forward. This was agreed. One member of the incoming Board should be appointed to be responsible for this. It was decided that a date for next year's AGM should be set as soon as possible by the Board so that it could be broadened out into wider areas for debate and discussion involving organisations concerned with environmental, peace issues and such like.
Election of board, treasurer and coordinator The following were elected to the Board: Stuart Coster, UK, Sigrid Heiberg, Norway, Helle Hagenau, Norway, Karoline Runestad. Norway, Dora Debeljak, Slovenia, Alain Bournazel, France, Ingela Mårtensson, Sweden, Patricia McKenna, Ireland – Coordinator, Lave Knud Broch, Denmark – Treasurer, Luise Hemmer Pihl, Denmark, Olli Salin, Finland
Both the Coordinator and Treasurer agreed to continue in these positions for another year. Lea Launakari, Finland, is not going forward this year.
Reports from affiliates for the different European countries were then given by those present.

Special announcement!
Friday 7th March, from 17.00 on:
Get-together and registration at The People´s Movement (Folkebevaegelsen mod EU) Tordenskjoldsgade 21, Copenhagen K (Centre), close to the Kings New Market (Kongens Nytorv) and The Royal Theatre.
The TEAM Annual General Meeting will be held on 25 March, 2007 at "Zum Turm", Wil (close to Zurich) in Switzerland. The day before, 24 March, the Swiss organisation Young4FUN are holding what is being described as 'the largest EU-critical conference that Switzerland has ever had.'
Growing opposition to rejected EU Constitution
"TEAM can show the people in Finland and elsewhere that the opponents of the EU Constitution are neither isolated nor isolationists," says newly elected TEAM Co-ordinator Jesper Morville, on TEAM's planned activities in Finland. This follows the Finnish government's manifest intentions to ratify the EU Constitution before Finland takes over the EU Council Presidency next July.
Austria is currently presiding over the EU Council. Meanwhile, cherry picking of the rejected EU Constitution goes on, an EUarmy is being assembled to go into the Congo, and a mass movement of labour is taking place from east to west within the EU, causing 'social dumping' and a 'race to the bottom' in working conditions and wages.
On Saturday 9th April hundreds of political activists from across the party-political divide met in London to launch a new campaign called "Europeans for Diversity - No the EU Constitution". They rallied for a Europe of democratic nation states that trade, enjoy cultural exchange and inter-governmental co-operation. The aim is to reach millions of voters in Britain and other EU countries. On Sunday 10th April, TEAM's Annual General Meeting was held as usual. Read more below.
Programme for the international rally
TEAM Working Programme 2005-2006
Report and photo diary from the rally "Europeans for Diversity - No the EU Constitution". See the Democracy Movement's web-page.
This programme gives an outline of the general political priorities and tasks which the AGM recommends to the alliance of TEAM for 2005-2006. The programme will act as guidelines for the TEAM Board over the same period. Affiliated organisations may use the programme as a whole or elements of the programme as inspiration for their own work at national, regional and local levels.
The Board arranges mainly one meeting for the TEAM affiliates and others interested during a working year: The Annual General Meeting (AGM). An internal face-to-face meeting is also arranged every year. Besides these meetings TEAM arranges conferences and seminars.
AGM in London, United Kingdom, 9-10 April 2005
AGM in Copenhagen, Denmark, 28-29 February 2004
AGM in Tallinn, Estonia, 29-30 March 2003
AGM in Prague, Czech Republic, 9-10 March 2002
AGM in Stockholm, Sweden, 24-25 March 2001
Saturday 9th April at the Conway Hall, London, will see the coming together of hundreds of political activists from across the party-political divide to launch a new campaign called "Europeans for Diversity - No the EU Constitution". The rally will call for a Europe of democratic nation states that trade, enjoy cultural exchange and inter-governmental co-operation. The aim will be to reach millions of voters in Britain and other EU countries. On Sunday 10th April, TEAM's Annual General Meeting will be held.
The TEAM Working Programme outlines the general political priorities and tasks which this Annual General Meeting will recommend to the TEAM network for the coming year. The programme functions as guidelines for the TEAM Board. The affiliated organisations may use the programme or parts of it as inspiration for their own work.
EU Constitution and Charter of Fundamental Rights
Further develop the broad political alliance, across the continent of Europe, against the planned EU Constitution and Charter of Fundamental Rights. Support the No-side in the coming referendums on the EU Constitution.
Encourage TEAM affiliates to support the petition, through the gathering of signatures, demanding national referendums on the EU Constitution.
Support demands for fair referendums to prevent a repeat of the largely unfair and undemocratic practice used in the Applicant Countries.
Provide high quality material on the draft Constitution and current EU-issues which can be easily used by organisations and campaigns.
Alternatives to the EU State
Elections to the European Parliament in 2004
Single Currency
Support the No-side in the British referendum on the euro, if it should be held during 2004 and 2005, with information and international contacts.
Provide information about the consequences of the single currency in those EU States which have adopted the euro.
This report is presented to TEAM's Eight Annual General Meeting, Copenhagen, Denmark, February 28-29, 2004, following the AGM in Tallinn, Estonia, March 29-30, 2003, and the meeting of the TEAM Board in Brussels October 11-12, 2003.
The number of TEAM affiliates increases
TEAM at present has 53 affiliated organisations in 20 countries across Europe: Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
At the AGM in Tallinn the following new affiliates were agreed to. As TEAM Members: Heimssýn (Iceland), Equal in Europe (Ireland), Movement for Independence (Latvia), Europa Nostra 2000 (Slovakia) and Young 4 FUN (Switzerland). As TEAM Observers: Research Centre Free Europe (Estonia), Polish Alliance (Poland) and Agora (Slovakia).
On 23 April the Board recommended unanimously to TEAM's current affiliates that the European Foundation, a leading UK-based think-tank, should be admitted into affiliation as an observer organisation with TEAM. This recommendation was accepted by TEAM's affiliates without objection.
Five of TEAM's affiliates are represented in the European Parliament. The Green Party of England and Wales and the Green Party of Sweden belong to the Green Group. The UK Independence Party and the June Movement, Denmark, belong to the EDD (Europe of Democracies and Diversities) Group. The People's Movement against the EU, Denmark, belongs to the European United Left/Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL).
Change of TEAM Coordinator
Sharon Ellul Bonici (Malta) was elected TEAM Coordinator at the AGM in Tallinn 2003. Due to the circumstances of her candidacy for the Malta Labour Party in the European Parliament elections, she felt compelled to resign as Coordinator. On 26 November the Board elected John Boyd as Acting Coordinator in her place. Full members of the Board have been: Jean-Paul Bled (France) as Treasurer, Hans Lindqvist (Sweden), Gorazd Drevensek (Slovenia), Helle Hagenau (Norway), Sharon Bonici (Malta) and Uno Silberg (Estonia). Substitute members have been: Alberto Carosa (Italy), Pelle Geertsen (Denmark) and Normunds Grostins (Latvia).
TEAM Board Meetings
The Board had its first meeting on Sunday March 30, 2003, after the AGM. Since then the Board has had 12 meetings in all, ten of which have been phone conferences. A face-to-face meeting was held in Brussels on October 11-12, 2003, when the draft EU Constitution and TEAM's campaign against it were discussed.
Unfair accession referendums
Seven EU accession referendums were held from April to September 2003:
Country ————— Date ———— In favour ——- Against ———- Turnout
Hungary ———- 12 April ———— 83.76 % —- 16.24 % ———— 45.62 %
Lithuania ——— 10-11May ——- 91.04 % —— 8.96 % ————- 63.3 %
Slovakia ———— 16-17 May —— 92.46 % ——- 6.20% ————- 52.15 %
Poland —————- 7-8 June ———- 77.45 % —- 22.25 % ———— 58.85 %
Czech Rep. —— 13-14 June —— 77.33 % —- 22.67 % ———- 55.21 %
Estonia ————— 14 Sept ————- 66.92 % —- 33.08 % ———— 64.0 %
Latvia —————— 20 Sept ————- 67.0 % ——- 32.20 % ———- 72.53 %
The figures shows that Estonia, Latvia, Czech Republic and Poland have the largest EU-scepticism among its populations. Malta, which was mentioned in the AGM report 2002-2003, had the strongest No-vote among the accession countries. On 8 March 46.35 % voted against EU membership, 53.65 in favour, on a turnout of 91 %. The referendum in Slovenia on 23 March had a different character: 89.91 % in favour, 10.39 % against, on a turnout of 60,29 %.
Voter turnouts were generally low in the accession referendums, but the members of the electorate who did vote generally cast a Yes-ballot. The No-campaigners in the Accession countries not only had to fight against voter apathy and disillusionment, but also against the Yes-side's huge resources in terms of finances and political backing from parties and media. In some countries also there was significant interference by the EU Commission, by office-holders of the European Parliament, which some legal opinion considers in breach of EU law, and by foreign governments. For these reasons most of the EU Accession referendums cannot be considered to have been fair and democratic.
TEAM questioned the Commission's financial involvement in the accession referendums, and argued that this was in breach of the relevant Accession treaties, for the Commission is not a party to the treaties and therefore has no proper role in ratifying them. Complaints were sent to the EU Ombudsman, the Commission and the European Parliament. The latter two institutions claimed that no violations had occurred, and that the EU only disseminated "information" in the accession referendum campaigns. Such "information", financed by EU taxpayers' money, inevitably affected voter choices and was designed to do so. TEAM's expressions of concern got good press coverage in the Brussels media.
The TEAM Board has continued the advance the demand for free and fair referendums, based on the criteria which it adopted in early 2003. TEAM took part in initiating and developing the "Referendum Monitoring Project", which is run by the Initiative and Referendum Institute, Amsterdam. The EU accession referendums were monitored at workshops in Bratislava, Slovakia, in June 2003, and in Tartu, Estonia, in September 2003, in which TEAM Board Members and some of TEAM's affiliated organisations participated. A "TEAM Referendum Monitoring Report", which analyses the ten EU referendums during 2003, based on the criteria for fair referendums, was presented at these workshops.
Overwhelming Swedish No to the euro
On 14 September the Swedes electorate voted "Nej" ("No") to scrapping the krona and adopting the euro by a strong majority: 55.9 % No, 42 % Yes and 2 % blank votes. Voter turnout was high at 82.6 %. This result shows that the Swedes made up their mind independently of the heavy imbalance of propaganda from the major parties, the trade unions, big business and their lobbyists on behalf of a Yes vote. The voters took an informed and rational decision in a dramatic and traumatic moment in Swedish politics. Foreign Minister Anna Lindh had been brutally assassinated just three days before the referendum, which led to a suspension of active campaigning in that time coming up to the poll.
The No-victory was achieved by a politically broad alliance ranging from left to right, which was coordinated in a loose way. The two main reasons for the No-result was that the Social Democratic Party failed to convince their own voters, among whom women constituted a key group. Neither did the centre-right parties manage to convince their voters that the euro was needed to boost economic growth in Sweden or for that country to be a "full" member of the EU. Many of these voters had voted Yes to EU-membership in 1994.
The Swedish "Nej" to the euro reveals an increase in the opposition to the centralising structures of the EU, and a reaction against the notion that an EU Member State has to accept all aspects of EU integration. A further indication of growing EU-critical sentiment in Sweden has been the emergence of a new party, The June List, which will stand for elections in the European Parliament on 13 June 2004. TEAM supported the Swedish No-campaign in various ways. Its Swedish affiliates were very active during the campaign. They were also supported by activists from TEAM affiliates in other countries, such as Denmark, Norway and Ireland.
TEAM's campaign against an EU Constitution
The Summit meeting in Thessaloniki in June 2003 concluded that "the Draft Constitutional Treaty is a good basis for starting in the Intergovernmental Conference". But it did not prove to be such a "good basis" for further discussions. Quite soon it became clear that Spain and Poland did not want to lose the voting strength in the Council which the Nice Treaty had guaranteed them. Consequently, the Summit in Brussels in December failed to reach an agreement on the Constitution. In media reports Poland and Spain were blamed for the Summit's failure, but France's objections to the Constitution - which shifts voting strength in the EU against Paris and towards Berlin may also have been a factor.
The conference "Visions for a Democratic Europe" in Brussels 11-12 December 2003, was organised by the TEAM secretariat together with several other European NGOs (Europe 2020 in Paris, IRI Europe in Amsterdam, European Referendum Campaign in Frankfurt and More Democracy in Berlin). At a press conference at this event TEAM's campaign against the EU Constitution was launched. The campaign slogan "No to the EU State Constitution - Yes to Democracy" was presented, along with a campaign folder outlining the main arguments against the Draft EU Constitution. The TEAM website has been rearranged and redesigned since to fit in with this campaign.
The TEAM secretariat will continue to produce campaign material on the EU Constitution. A number of factsheets drawing on research by various legal experts and other authorities have been produced on particular key issues. Two major TEAM Working Papers on the Constitution have been written and are available on the website: "The shaping of a new EU State Constitution - with alternatives for a "Europe of Democracies", by Jens-Peter Bonde MEP, and "A critical analysis of the EU draft Constitution", by Anthony Coughlan.
The draft Constitution reveals the true nature of the EU-integration project: it lays the constitutional basis for a highly centralised and undemocratic "EU State" under the political hegemony of the bigger EU members. This fact has sparked a growing EU-critique across Europe in both old and new EU Member States. Independently of political colour or view of the EU-project, many parties and NGOs agree that the Constitution cannot be the basis for an equal and democratic European cooperation. This growing opposition will be visible in the upcoming referendums on the EU Constitution, assuming that this is agreed by the 25 Member State governments.
At present it is clear that Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and the Czech Republic will hold referendums for purposes of ratifying the EU Constitution, once that is signed. More countries are likely to follow. The growing opposition against the "EU State" or "State-in-the-making" and the number of referendums on the EU Constitution, create new possibilities for the EU-critical movement across Europe. TEAM and its affiliated organisations will use this momentum to defend the principles of democracy and argue that the people should have a say on the future of Europe.
The TEAM Board would like to thank all TEAM members, observers and supporters for a fruitful cooperation during the past year. We hope for a significant expansion in the number of organisations affiliated to TEAM during the coming year and for a politically successful 2004-2005 in our struggle to defend democracy in face of the EU.

The European Alliance of EU-critical Movements (TEAM) held its 8th Annual General Meeting on Friday - Sunday, 27-29 February 2004, at the Jord och Betonarbejdernes Fagforening, Hestemøllestræde 5, Copenhagen, Denmark.
A key theme of the AGM was civil liberties and how they are threatened by the EU's participation in the current international "war on terror". Professor Thomas Mathiesen of Oslo University was the keynote speaker on this topic. Professor Mathiesen has lectured and published widely in this area over recent decades and is an internationally recognised authority in the field of human rights and civil liberties.
The other key topic was the EU Draft Constitution. The meeting discussed why the talks failed at the Brussels Summit last December, what is likely to happen next and what the international EU-critical movement might do to defeat this EU Constitution during 2004.
The debate on the Constitution was also covered by some of the leading EU-critical candidates in Denmark's elections to the European Parliament in June. Key aspects of the Constitution were also examined by AGM participants in workshops.
The AGM discussed TEAM's campaign against the EU Constitution and ideas on "How to run a successful campaign". The gathering in Copenhagen was seen as a good opportunity to exchange ideas on strategy and campaigning across Europe for the coming year.

The TEAM Working Programme for 2003-2004 outlines the general political priorities and tasks which this Annual General Meeting will recommend to the TEAM network for the coming year. The programme functions as guidelines for the TEAM Board. The affiliated organisations may use the programme or parts of it as inspiration for their own work.
EU-related referendums
Support EU-critics and opponents in the Applicant Countries through information, international support and funding where their referendums are unbalanced and unfair.
Demand "fair" EU referendums, based on the TEAM statement "International best practice for fair EU referendums" and support similar initiatives by others.
File complaints to the European Ombudsman when relevant, support and encourage legal action concerning the Commission's improper intervention in national referendum processes.
Support the No-side in the Swedish referendum on the euro with information and international contacts.
Support the No-side in the British referendum on the euro, if it should be held during 2003 and 2004, with information and international contacts.
Constitutional Convention and EU Constitution
Encourage the formation of a broad political alliance, in the EU Member States and Applicant Countries, against the planned EU Constitution/Constitutional Treaty.
Expose the threat to national democracy and an equal and democratic European cooperation.
Demand national referendums on the outcome of the Convention and support initiatives like the European Referendum Campaign.
Alternatives to the EU State
Elections to the European Parliament in 2004
Adopted at TEAM's AGM in Tallinn, Estonia, on 30 March 2003.
The 7th Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, 28-30 March 2003.

My name is Lauren, and I am a proud Portland native. I help run Mississippi Studios and its sidekick Bar Bar (just below the apartment) with a wonderful cast of characters. I look forward to helping make your visit to our beautiful city and state as memorable as can be! We love hosting visitors from around the globe and welcoming them to our small corner of the universe!
Hit me up if you have any questions about the apartment and/or location.
Lauren has completed online and offline ID verification.
Lauren was a wonderful host! The apt was fun and so lively! Thanks for everything!
Everything worked. The location is unbelievably well centered. Having a bar downstairs made it a great meeting spot too. Lauren was great on communication andhelped us settle in. Portland is a great city to explore on foot too.
Loved the place, location and host. was truly perfect fit for us.
This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Portland with a group of mates, as we were. There is lots of common space to lounge around in whilst you plan your next adventure, or to momentarily escape the rain and cold and warm up by the fireplace. The location is awesome, as is the neighborhood. It is definitely noisy until the early hours, but this was not a problem for us because we were happy to join in the fun.
Great apartment, was everything the description said it would be. Lauren was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to have a pleasant stay. Fun neighborhood with plenty of bars to hang out at.
Kevin's Place is great. Description is accurate, more spacious than I expected and North Mississippi is a really cool area. I will be staying here again on my next trip to Portland. The noise from below is also less than I expected.
This is a great place to stay with friends. Awesome location with lots of bars, restaurants, and other places within walking distance. Even better if you rent bikes or a car - easy to get downtown or across the river, as well as other parts of town. Kevin is super accommodating and helpful.
This was my first time using Airbnb and I had a great time. Kevin was the perfect host and couldn't have provided a better experience. He was very easy to get a hold of when needed and he was super nice. The home we stayed at was perfect for my group of six guys. The place was clean, had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and was a huge plus that it was right over a popular Portland bar. Kevin did give fair warning about the noise at night from the bar, it didn't bother us, but I can see were a light sleeper would have problems. I would definitely want to stay here again.
Photos were accurate. Large airy space, two bedrooms (one with a full bed, one with two bunk beds). Clean bathroom, good kitchen....and even a terrace! Very cute space. I flew in from the east coast so the sounds from the bar downstairs did not bother me (I fell asleep right away). My brother and his girlfriend, however, said they could hear music here and there throughout the night.
Kevin and the people working (email hidden) were very helpful and responsive! Apartment is as described. Music does get loud (as my other friends staying at the apartment told me). I'm a heavy sleeper and we had the AC/fan on in the room with the bunk beds so it drowned out the noise downstairs for me at least. The others I stayed with said it was loud for them but managed. They also said they could hear Bar Bar downstairs during opening when tables and chairs were being arranged but hey, it was time to wake up anyway!
Kevin was a wonderful guest, we had a lot in common and I felt very comfortable having him stay in my home. He had the utmost respect for my apartment and left it clean and well looked after. I hope when he returns to New York he will stay with me again. Highly recommended!
Tali stayed at our apartment in New York while we were away in April/May. She was the perfect guest, communicated well and left the apartment in a great condition. Definitely someone you can trust to stay in your house.

In a recent article at Vox, Dara Lind and German Lopez looked at the various theories for why crime has declined so much over the past two decades, based on a recent report from the Brennan Center for Justice. One of the commonly accepted explanations is the trend in "broken windows" policing, the idea that aggressively focusing on smaller quality-of-life crimes lowers the incidence of crime overall. In looking at the evidence, however, they conclude:
The bottom line: Too difficult to tell. Ultimately, different departments define "broken-windows policing" differently and implement it in different ways — and, again, often alongside other changes. It's true it's hard to tell why crime declines in cities, but that applies to broken-windows policing as much as it applies to other macro explanations.
Furthermore, one of the main proponents of the broken windows success story, Malcolm Gladwell, has started to back away from that conclusion.
The Brennan Center report also comes down hard on the idea that mass incarceration is beneficial for reducing crime.
One thing that characterized both the broken windows and mass incarceration trends is that they were disproportionately used against minority communities. The protests in the second half of 2014 and into this year are a reaction to that. Minority communities feel harassed and victimized by police. Eric Garner's last words "I Can't Breathe" struck a chord for many people across the country who've dealt with it.
I've never bought into the idea that broken windows has any benefit. The idea that you can create order through fear and intimidation is a delusion. The combination of broken windows and mass incarceration with a society where so many little things are criminalized, from jaywalking to selling loose cigarettes to pot possession, inevitably ends up with increased antagonism between the police and the public. We're now at the point where trying to measure the benefits of these crime prevention strategies needs to be accompanied with efforts to measure their drawbacks.

In January a trans woman was assaulted in Spokane. It's pretty horrible stuff, and you can read the details here. It's pretty unsettling, but the relevant bit for the police is:
Scamahorn said responding officers treated her with disrespect and referred to her as a man throughout their investigation.
One officer said Scamahorn appeared to be intoxicated, but witnesses disagreed, and she said fluid buildup in her throat after the beating made it difficult for her to talk and breathe.
She also said police would not allow the bartender to help her as she lay on the floor in her own blood and vomit.
Now the police have investigated how the police acted and found the police did nothing wrong, and now a Spokane city council member wants the Human Rights Commission to apologize.* For the fact that a trans woman spoke out about her treatment. It's pretty gross.
But leaving that to one side. Also leave aside the fact that cops claiming an assault victim was drunk seems pretty damn unprofessional on its face. Even if "the police officers on the scene were not acting inappropriately" as Spokane City Council Member Mike Fagan says, the officers certainly left the impression with her that they called her a man and didn't allow the bartender to help her. It seems like officers should be able to not leave that impression if they're doing everything right. Of course, I'm more inclined to believe her than the cops, but I haven't read the report.
And to be clear, they caught the people who did this. That's probably progress from a few decades ago. But there's still further to go.

The serious people keep using that word. But I do not think it means what they think it means.
Enter Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, a former Democrat, with what he calls a "grand compromise."
Miloscia dropped a bill Tuesday, SB 6029, that would scrap local authority to raise the minimum wage — meaning it would nix Seattle's $15 per hour minimum wage approved last year. Instead, Miloscia's proposal would index the wage to both urban inflation and personal income growth.
So, um, how exactly is this a "compromise," grand or otherwise? God I hate it when politicians speak to us like they think we're morons.
Miloscia and his crowd have already lost the minimum wage debate. Seattle has passed a $15 minimum wage, and polls consistently show that voters overwhelmingly support Democratic efforts to raise the state minimum wage to $12 an hour. In fact, polls show that voters are willing to go much higher—and public support spikes again when we add in paid sick leave! So Miloscia's proposal that we give all these gains away in exchange for just tweaking the index by which the state minimum wage is already annually adjusted, well, from our perspective, that sounds a lot more like a capitulation than a compromise.
But in the spirit of Miloscia's creative interpretation of the word, I'd like to respond with a counter offer: How about, if the legislature refuses to raise the state minimum wage to $12 in 2015, we "compromise" by going to the ballot with a measure that raises it to $16 in 2016? Because what Miloscia, his fellow Republicans, and WA's business establishment need to start wrapping their minds around is that $12 is the compromise. We could get much more than that at polls. So don't say we didn't warn you.

In a victory for common decency, the Benton County florists who wouldn't sell to a gay couple for their wedding were in violation of the state's Consumer Protection Act [h/t]. Here's the text of the AG's office press release.
A Benton County Superior Court ruling today held that a Richland florist violated Washington's Consumer Protection Act by refusing to serve a same-sex couple seeking to buy wedding flowers in 2013.
"The law is clear: If you choose to provide a service to couples of the opposite sex, you must provide the same service to same-sex couples," Attorney General Bob Ferguson said. "Washingtonians have enacted laws recognizing equality for same-sex couples, and I will continue to vigorously uphold these laws. I appreciate the judge's decision and am very proud of my team's hard work to stop this unlawful discrimination."
I haven't read the whole ruling but it's here (.pdf)
It's important that we as a state not just passively don't discriminate but that we're actively a place where you can't discriminate. While the law was quite clear, it's still good for the couple and good for the state that it was upheld.

Seattle City Council Member Sally Clark announced today that she will not seek reelection:
"After almost 10 years of service to the people of the greatest city in the country, and with tremendous and valued colleagues, it's time for me to start a new chapter. I will not run for re-election to Seattle City Council this fall."
The sudden availability of an open at-large seat is sure to create a bit of a commotion. Hmm. Tempting.
UPDATE: Did Mayor Ed Murray just engineer a council coup? Council member Nick Licata didn't want to run against a colleague, and so he had waited for months for Clark to make up her mind about whether she would run again. Reportedly, Clark eventually told him she would, So Licata announced his retirement. Then today, Clark suddenly announces that she would not seek reelection, and a couple hours later Murray's legal counsel, M. Lorena González, sends out a prepared press release announcing that she will be seeking Clark's seat. The timing sure does make it look coordinated.
I don't know anything about González, perhaps she's great, and it's about time Seattle elected its first Hispanic. And nothing against Ed. But I'm not so comfortable about the idea of the mayor attempting to pack the council with allies (and that goes for your continued efforts to recruit a candidate to challenge Kshama, Ed).

Vowing "to end the cycle of career politicians," West Seattle restaurateur Dave Montoure has jumped into the crowded race for Seattle's city council District 1. Montoure is the co-owner of West 5, and a former chair of the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce board. He is also a fierce opponent of the $15 minimum wage, having donated $1,000 to Forward Seattle's doomed and dishonest effort to file a charter amendment that would have repealed Seattle's historic $15 minimum wage ordinance.
So, yeah, West Seattle—now you know which of the dozen or so candidates in that race not to vote for.

Normally I'm not a big fan of asking voters to do the legislature's job, but I'm beginning to think that the transportation funding package currently under negotiation should be an exception. Governor Inslee had creatively proposed funding transportation improvements with a carbon tax, whereas the Republican-controlled senate prefers a good old fashioned regressive gas tax hike. (Not that most of their members will vote for it—they just want revenue-desperate Democrats to do their dirty work for them.) So why not put that choice before voters?
Whatever sucky transportation package Democrats ultimately sign on to—and it almost certainly will be sucky, because I just don't believe that Democrats collectively have the balls to stand up in defense of labor, the environment, and transit—should be sent to voters with two options: A) a gas tax hike, or B) a carbon tax. If we really want to take all the partisan ideology out of the debate—as the editorialists disingenuously insist we should—then just let voters decide.
We're the ones who will be paying the tax, either directly or through higher prices for goods and services from carbon intensive industries. So let us tell legislators which tax we truly prefer. Political problem solved.
But then, Republicans have never much been into solving political problems, so I'm guessing my constructive input will be once again ignored.

It's Tuesday, and the Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally will, once again, meet. As it happens, this meeting is the last week of our ninth year since the inaugural meeting of the Seattle chapter. That's right…next Tuesday will be the tenth anniversary of the Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally. That's a huge number of meetings, and a boat-load of political conversation floating in an ocean of beer.
Please join us. We meet every Tuesday evening at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. Our starting time is 8:00 pm, but some folks stop by earlier for dinner.
Can't make it to Seattle tonight? Check out one of the other DL meetings this week. Tonight the Tri-Cities, Vancouver, WA, and Shelton chapters also meet. The Kent chapter meets on Wednesday. And on Thursday, the Tacoma chapter meets.
There are 189 chapters of Living Liberally, including seventeen in Washington state, four in Oregon and two in Idaho. Chances are excellent there's a chapter meeting somewhere near you.

Please, please, Democrats, remember that the Seattle Times editorial board simply cannot be taken seriously:
In a nod to the populous Pierce, King and Snohomish counties, the package also includes authority for Sound Transit to ask voters for up to an estimated $11 billion in new taxes to expand the light-rail system. Advocates say that amount falls $4 million short of their request. This is a time for everyone to compromise.
Oh god, where to start? First, maybe with the fact that the Sound Transit taxing authority in the package falls $4 billion short—billion with a "b"—not $4 "million" as the editors report. Yes, it's just a typo, I know (or at least I hope), but you're the editorial page of the largest daily in the state, for chrisakes, so I mean, fuck.
Second, "a nod to the populous Pierce, King and Snohomish counties" … really? You mean a nod to more than half the population of the state? And not a nod, exactly—more like a middle finger. Sound Transit asked for $15 billion in authority, because that's how much it figures it needs, and the Republican controlled senate says, "Fuck you, you'll get $11 billion and thank us for it!" Based on what?
Which brings us to my third point: It's not their money, and it's none of their fucking business! We're not asking for $15 billion. We're asking for permission to ask local voters for permission to tax themselves to build the transit system they need. It's not like we're a fucking welfare queen like Sen. King's Yakima County, greedily suckling at the state taxpayers' teat. We here in King County send $1.61 to Olympia for every dollar we get back. All we're asking for, after subsidizing the rest of the fucking state, is to be allowed to tax ourselves to take care of our own needs for a change. How hard is that?
Now, if this were a fight over which tax to fund the transportation package, or how much to tax, or how those limited tax revenues should be divvied up amongst the 39 counties, then yeah, I suppose we all need to compromise, because the final deal would impact all the voters in the state. A dollar spent here is a dollar that's not spent there, after all. But that isn't this fight. This is just envious Republicans outside of the prosperous Puget Sound region intentionally fucking with us, just because. The goal is to set Sound Transit up for failure by forcing it to propose a sales tax heavy package that doesn't build enough in each subarea to attract a majority of voters. Just like they did to Metro by denying it MVET authority.
So no, this is not a time for everyone to compromise, at least not on this issue. Adequate ST taxing authority should be a precondition of any transportation funding package. Enough of their fucking games. If they want Democrats to take the heat for voting to raise everybody's gas tax, then they need to give us the local taxing authority we want and need. Period. Otherwise, the senate Republicans should use their precious majority to pass this package themselves.

tren epi hair loss question
tren epi hair loss question
Ok, so here is what im thinking. gonna run an x-tren cycle in feb. and i want to stack it with some epi. all the anecdotal accounts I have read here and elsewhere seem to conclude that shedding usually occurs in the third and fourth weeks of the cycle, so i was thinking of running it this way
e-stane -0/0/20/30
1.does this make sense to avoid the androgenic hair loss?
2. will two weeks of epi even make a diffrence ?
any help would be appreciated guys

I don't think you'll nocie 2 weeks of epi, if you're super worried about hair loss why not run something like mdrol at 10/10/20/20? or at least run the xtren at lower dose, even 60mg is certainly strong enough to feel, then just run the epi for 4 weeks at 20mg. if hair loss is an issue there are better cycles imo.
thank's for the input .the thing is i came into a bunch of epi super cheap.and as for the x-tren I ran that a few months ago with minimal sides,back pumps libido went m.i.a but no hair loss or even major acne.this would be my first epi run so i dont know if hair loss would even be an issue.

2 wks of epi won't do anything productive and would be a waste. For hairloss prevention you can go a couple routes, three I would recommend would be, and these are in order of what I would start with...
- Toco-8
- Nizoral 2% Shampoo
- Spironolactone creamADVANCED MUSCLE SCIENCE

epi will make you shed, you should really subsitute it for something else, if you decide to run mdrol please keep us informed on how your hair held up. Also tell us if you know for sure you are prone to losing hair thanks,

Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking
A Memoir of Love and Longing
A James Beard Award-winning writer captures life under the Red socialist banner in this wildly inventive, tragicomic memoir of feasts, famines, and three generations
Born in 1963, in an era of bread shortages, Anya grew up in a communal Moscow apartment where eighteen families shared one kitchen. She sang odes to Lenin, black-marketeered Juicy Fruit gum at school, watched her father brew moonshine, and, like most Soviet citizens, longed for a taste of the mythical West. It was a life by turns absurd, naively joyous, and melancholy—and ultimately intolerable to her anti-Soviet mother, Larisa. When Anya was ten, she and Larisa fled the political repression of Brezhnev-era Russia, arriving in Philadelphia with no winter coats and no right of return.
Now Anya occupies two parallel food universes: one where she writes about four-star restaurants, the other where a taste of humblekolbasa transports her back to her scarlet-blazed socialist past. To bring that past to life, Anya and her mother decide to eat and cook their way through every decade of the Soviet experience. Through these meals, and through the tales of three generations of her family, Anya tells the intimate yet epic story of life in the USSR. Wildly inventive and slyly witty,Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking is that rare book that stirs our souls and our senses.
Baker & Taylor
A multi-generational memoir by a celebrated food writer captures the flavors of the mid-20th-century Soviet experience, tracing her upbringing by an anti-Soviet mother, her witness to the political events that led to the empire's collapse and the parallel food universes of her life that evinced both simple and sumptuous fare.
& Taylor
Evokes a mid-20th-century Soviet experience, as the author traces her upbringing by an anti-Soviet mother, her witness to the political events surrounding the empire's collapse, and her parallel food universes that included both simple and sumptuous fare.
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentThis is only sort of a memoir. And it's only sort of about food. Bremzen is a food critic living in New York, but she grew up in Brezhnev's Russia and as an adult, decides to try make sense of her heritage. She and her mother cook their way through the Russian decades of the 20th century starting with a Tsarist feast (wow) so that food becomes a lens through which the culture - and the economic/social/political lurches of the Soviet system - are explored. The author's family history is investigated at the same time giving a personal context to the frequently violent upheavals that took place. The last part of the book covers her return to Russia to film a television show after the collapse of Communism. For me, the results are a bit uneven, but it's an interesting read nonetheless.
A thoroughly enjoyable read. Von Bremzen very cleverly weaves together broader Soviet history with her family's personal history, as well as a few recipes representing different historical periods. She has an excellent sense of the ironic and the absurd. Her recounting of her grandmother's and mother's experiences growing up in the USSR is somehow more fascinating than her own, perhaps because they take place principally in that country rather than in the United States.

Good Quality

I have found that in most cases if a recipe calls for corn starch, potato starch can be used. I find potato starch much easier to handle and so far get better results in baking with the potato starch. I feel my cakes, cookies and bread are a little moister than when I was using corn starch. I don't make as big of a mess in the kitchen either with the potato starch. I like the quality of Bob' Red Mill products and will continue to buy them. After looking around I found that iHerb had the best price for this product and you can't beat free shipping.

Joseph & David at Festivals
There are more than one bands called Joseph. 1. Classic Stoner (heavy fuzz) blues rock! The 'Joseph' was in fact Joseph Long or Joseph Longeria, discovered by the album's producer and A & R man Steve Tyrell playing in Houston in a battle of the blues competition. This is the only known foray into recording that Longeria made and he was a superb guitar player to boot. Stoned Age Man contains some of weirdest lyrics ever written. Check out 'I Ain't Fattenin' No More Frogs for Snakes' and the eastern 'Cold Biscuits and Fish Heads.' Read more about Joseph on Last.fm.

Always cool to see whats possible with Zbrush and other tools.
Thanks guys and ZBC for the top row! I have a few more shots of her I've been meaning to post.
Love the Butterfly character Dustin! What did you render that in?
Great designs, great sculpts!
Been way too long. Seems like I can never show anything I work on these days. Projects either get canceled or get shelved indefinitely. Well I can finally show something!
Nice work Darcy. Always cool to see what you've been up to.
so is the mario above retopoed using the new remesher?
Very cool Paul!
Always inspiring to see your latest stuff!
tension in the body and expression are prefect!!!
Cleaning off my old hard drive and ran across this Dynamesh test I did several months back. Done in Zbrush using only basic primitives and Dynamesh.
Thanks everyone! Never gets old seeing your stuff in print. The print was done by Ownage http://www.ownage.com/
Just got my "Scallywag" print in the mail thought I'd share. Big thanks to Des for the awesome print job.
Doh! ...Thanks Etcher didn't realize the brushes came with 4R4. I'm on a floating license, so I don't get the update for another 2-3 weeks :-/
Great work btw!
Are the zipper brushes available for download? would love to try them out.
Maham: I couldnt agree with you more. BPR still not there, but I dont have the time to learn Vray or Mental ray. I'm convinced that a artist friendly render will surface one day I wont have to learn...

Thanks all!
To answer some questions; For building this piece the majority of it was done using dynamesh. Therefor the mesh is pretty ugly. I did retopo a few parts in 3dsmax so make them more...
Messing around in my freetime.
You are the steampunk master!
sooo R3 can only export vector displacement maps? not sculpt with them?
Nice work BP! Love the paint job.

That's Vimprovement! A Better vi
When you jump to a tag using the CTRL-] command, the entire screen jumps. If you use the command CTRL-W CTRL-], the current window is split and you do a tag jump in the new window.
Suppose you have five or six small programs in a directory, and you want to jump to the definition of one of the main functions. If you do a:
:tag main
command, the editor will jump to the first definition of main that it can find. This may or may not be the one you want.
The :tselect command displays all the tags that match a given name and lets you select the one you want. For example:
:tselect main # pri kind tag file > 1 F C f main a_test.cpp int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) 2 F f main acp.cpp int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) 3 F f main add.cpp int main(int argc, char* argv[]) Enter nr of choice (<CR> to abort): 3
What if you only know part of a name? In other words, you want to go to the function whose name is "something- process-something-data". The :tags command can take a regular expression. In this case the command:
:tag /process.*datagoes to the first tag matching this expression. If several functions match the expression, you can use :tselect to go to the right one.
Programs contain code and comments. Code has its own structure. You do not want an editor that line wraps when you write code. But comments are merely text and it's okay to wrap text. In fact in most cases, it is highly desirable to have an editor that wraps long text lines.
The Vim editor understands the difference between commands and code. It can be configured to wrap comments and leave the code alone. This is done by putting the following lines in our .vimrc file:
:autocmd FileType c,cpp \ set formatoptions=croql cindent \ comments=sr:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://
(Note: continuation lines in *begin* with \.)
The :autocmd command tells Vim that these commands are to be executed whenever it determines that it is working on a C or C++ file. (File names ends in .c or .cpp.)
The formatoptions tells Vim that we want to automatically wrap comments but don't want code wrapped. The next line:
set comments=sr:/*,mb:*,ex:*/,://
tells Vim what a comment looks like. In this case we've defined the standard C comment (/*, */) and the C++ comment (//). We've also told Vim that if we are in the middle of a C-style comment, to please begin each line with a "*".
With these options set, when you type /*<RETURN>, Vim automatically puts in a " *" to begin the next line. Given the limited space allowed in this article, all I can really tell you is that this is a really neat feature, and you should play around with it. If you need more details, you can check out the on-line help text.
Vim is a very versatile editor. In this article we've touched on a few of the more interesting features of this editor. But we only scratched the surface. There are still hundreds of commands and options that we've not discussed. You can find out about these by reading the help text and other documentation that comes with the editor.
By introducing you to some of the new features in Vim we've given you a start toward more effective editing. How far you go from here is up to you.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Young Adult Contemporary
This hysterical rendition of Pride and Prejudice would probably thrill Ms. Austen
After winter break, the girls at the very prestigious Longbourn Academy become obsessed with the prom. Lizzie Bennet, who attends Longbourn on a scholarship, isn�t interested in designer dresses and expensive shoes, but her best friend, Jane, might be � especially now that Charles Bingley is back from a semester in London. Lizzie is happy about her friend�s burgeoning romance but less than impressed by Charles�s friend, Will Darcy, who�s snobby and pretentious. Darcy doesn�t seem to like Lizzie either, but she assumes it�s because her family doesn�t have money. Clearly, Will Darcy is a pompous jerk � so why does Lizzie find herself drawn to him anyway? Will Lizzie�s pride and Will�s prejudice keep them apart? Or are they a prom couple in the making? Whatever the result, Elizabeth Eulberg, author of The Lonely Hearts Club, has concocted a very funny, completely stylish delight for any season � prom or otherwise.
