By COREY BLUEMELEmery Progress reporter
On Saturday, more than 50 people gathered at the Hidden Splendor mine site to protest the closing of the road into the Muddy River by the United Stated Bureau of Land Management.
Richard Beardall, president of the Americans with Disabilities Access Alliance, spearheaded the protest on Oct. 14.
"Our mission is to provide access for elderly and disabled Americans to our public lands. We are hoping to draw attention to the impact this closure has had on many citizens," said Beardall.
Addressing the people gathered at the protest site on Oct. 14, Beardall told a story of four elderly men whom he had met two months after the closure of the road in the BLM's travel plan.
The American with Disabilities Access Alliance representative was at the site when the men pulled up in a car. The men told him of their youth spent in the area working in the various mines.
"They had been miners here, worked away their youths to dig the uranium that has kept us free for so many years. They wanted just once more, just once more to see the cabins where they lived while laboring in this splendid setting. But they could not because this barrier stopped them" explained Beardall, referring to the log fence crossing the road. "You see, they no longer had the physical ability to walk to the place they once labored. The misguided agents of our government have stopped them. They were no longer welcome."
Beardall said the Americans with Disabilities Access Alliance did not want to break the law, but the members of the group were at the site to protest what they viewed as oppression.
"Now I'd like to invite the oldest living member of the grand patriarch family of the San Rafael desert to join me," commented Beardall. "Monte Swasey, join me to once again go where your family roamed free."
The Americans with Disabilities Access Alliance representative then climbed on a four-wheeler and led the procession of protesters. Members of the crowd moved aside the barrier and the riders passed it with American flags waving.
John Anderson, a Salt Lake City resident who owns mining claims in the closed area, followed the all-terrain vehicles down into the canyon in a Jeep.
Anderson said he is required to pay the BLM a yearly fee of $125 per mine to keep the claims active, but is unable to access his property due to the closure.
"I worked in the Hidden Splendor mine with my father many years ago," noted Anderson. "My dad, Phil, spent his last years here working with his friend. He was a diabetic and needed insulin daily. Inside the mine is a small seep that runs very cold water and that is where he kept his insulin cold during that time."
Prior to the protest staged last Saturday, Beardall and Mark Williams, president of the SouthEastern Utah OHV Club, met with the BLM and Emery County officials to discuss the planned event.
The BLM decided not to attend the protest to issue citations to people who crossed the barrier.
"It's prettier than I remember. I wish I could have stayed longer. The last time I was here was 20 years ago," declared Beardall as the protesters rode out of the canyon.
While BLM officials were not present at the protest, they were aware of the activity and met with Beardall last week about the situation.
"I told Richard that the road was closed because of riparian issues," indicated Roger Bankert, the manager of the Price BLM field office during an interview on Monday. "We told them then that we would not be there."
A riparian zone is the interface between land and a flowing surface water body.
Bankert pointed out that the area in question is not necessarily permanently closed.
"Once we have our resource management plan in place, I told him that we could revisit the issue of that access closure," said Bankert. "I also told him that the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) does not come into play in this situation.
The Price BLM field office manager also explained that the road was closed at the site for logistical reasons.
"The place where the barriers are is a choke point, a place where it is easier to stop traffic," stated Bankert "Further down the road, it would have been hard to control the traffic because it is more wide open."
Many people who attended the protest knew that the BLM would not be there. But many attendees were expecting environmental groups to show up with a counter protest.
However, the only people who showed up at the protest staged last Saturday were from pro-access groups and supporters who sympathized with their position.

Helper City, The Helper Arts and Music Festival and The Western Mining and Railroad Museum are building a 5- x 14-foot wall that will be the base of the first community mosaic project in Helper - "The Helper Train Mosaic".
Stephanie Fitzsimons, museum director, is renovating the courtyard immediately adjacent to the museum with pathways and indigenous plants along with railroad and mining artifacts placed among the public space. Park benches, an antique outdoor bread oven and a full-scale train caboose also adorn the space making it a quaint and quiet garden area for small events or just taking in the ambiance of the local scenery. The mosaic will be a focal point reflecting the surrounding mountains and railroad atmosphere.
Salt Lake City professional mosaic artist, Elise Lazar, has committed to design the mosaic that will capture the essence of the regional history of the railroad, and the coal and gas mining industry that shaped community of Helper and surrounding areas. Elise recently contributed to the design and implementation of the dazzling Sanpitch Dragon mosaic installed beneath the underpass of U.S. Route 89 in Gunnison.
Phase I of the project brings together local youths ages 7 through 18 to learn the art of mosaic tile-making during the 6-week Art-in-the-Park summer series coordinated by Bernice Robertson of Pinnacle Canyon Academy. With the help of local ceramicist, Kathleen Royster (whose work can be found in the Smithsonian Institute), they will learn to decorate, glaze and fire the tiles shaped like train cars in her studio kiln.
Phase II continues with the mosaic artist pulling together various elements of the design that will reflect the unique mountain range surrounding Helper, the railroad tracks and the mining relics that make up the distinct essence of Carbon County. The finished train cars made by the children and teens will be incorporated into the overall mosaic. Small trinkets and other memorabilia collected from local community members will also be added as a lasting legacy of the ancestors and descendants of this historic mining community.
This mosaic will become an area treasure much like the other attractions that lure motorists from U.S. Route 6 to Main Street - the "Big John" miner statue near the library, the entire historic commercial and district, art galleries, the stunning mountainous landscapes, and the Helper City River Parkway Trail Wall construction commenced June 18 with the generous help of Derek Way of Way Construction and the city of Helper. Geneva Rock, Howa & Sons, Central Commission and Sutherlands have supplied the necessary materials. The mosaic will be installed onto the wall in July, and the finished project will be unveiled during The 2012 Helper Arts and Music Festival.
A small dedication ceremony is planned and a plaque bearing the name of all of the generous cash and in-kind donors will be affixed permanently beside the wall. Donations can be sent to: The Helper Arts and Music Festival, P.O. Box 457, Helper, Utah 84526.

Again Woolf presents his life sometimes with the most minute details and with that same air of detachment as in the earlier volumes of his autobiography. Despite his seeming transparency, I had the sense of him holding back as much as he was giving. Read full review

Arbitration utilizes a neutral third party to hear a dispute between parties. The hearing is informal and the parties mutually select the arbitrator. The arbitrator is retained to decide how to settle the dispute and the decision is final and binding on the parties. Arbitration is more cost efficient and quicker than litigation but it is the arbitrator, not the parties, who renders the terms and conditions of the dispute resolution.
Mediation is a much quicker process than litigation or arbitration. The parties also have more control over the final resolution. The parties mutually select the mediator and the mediator helps the parties resolve the dispute in a cost efficient manner. For example, in the state of Michigan, employment dispute mediators are provided for free by the Bureau of Employment Relations.

An interactive early literacy and learning center for children ages birth to five and their caregivers.
Located in the Rosedale and Woodlawn branches.
A child-sized village that includes developmentally appropriate books and activities.
Specifically designed for parents and caregivers to help their young children enter Kindergarten ready to succeed.
Baby Garden
Toddler Woods or Toddler Bay
Grocery Store & Mailroom
Puppet Stage & Theatre
Home Living Area
Construction Zone
Our Mission:
Storyville was designed and created to foster early literacy and school readiness skills. We know through scientific research that success in school begins at birth and that the ages of birth to five are critical learning years.
The engagement of parents and caregivers with their young children through reading and playing together is key to their child's success. Storyville is a place where books and purposeful play come together to provide valuable experiences that nurture young children and support parents and caregivers in their role as their child's first and best teacher.
Q: What are the hours that Storyville is open?
A: Storyville is open the same hours as the Rosedale and Woodlawn branches: Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Q: When is Storyville the busiest?
A: Storyville is always busy on weekends and weekday mornings until lunchtime. During winter months, Storyville becomes increasingly busy in the afternoons, too, and you may have to wait to get in. Please feel free to call and check our status.
Capacity and Waiting Lists:
Q: Is there a limit to how many people are allowed in Storyville at one time?
A: We have found that a comfortable maximum capacity is around sixty visitors, adults and children, in Storyville at one time. Once our capacity has been reached we will begin a waiting list.
Q: When do you use a waiting list?
A: Waiting lists are most frequent weekday mornings. During winter months, wait lists are more common throughout the day. Please feel free to call and check our status.
Q: How long are the waits?
A: Waits can be as short as five minutes or as long as an hour.
Q: What can I do while I wait to be called?
A: Once your name is on the waiting list, you may wait in the children's area of the library where there are books and other early literacy activities to occupy your child. You will be given a restaurant-style beeper that will notify you of when it is your turn to go into Storyville.
Q: How do you keep track of how many people are in Storyville?
A: We monitor how many people are in Storyville by registering all visitors to Storyville as they enter. Each group or family unit is given a pass which they return when they leave.
Q: Do you take reservations?
A: We do not take reservations for Storyville visits. You are welcome to call to see if we are busy before you visit.
Group Visits:
Q: Do I need to schedule my group a visit?
A: Storyville is designed for individual caregivers and their children to experience, together. Since we cannot offer a guarantee that groups will be able to enter, together, at one time, it is not necessary to schedule your visit. Typically, members of groups arrange to meet each other at Storyville and we register parent/caregiver group members, individually, as they arrive. Depending on capacity, there is the possibility you may enter immediately, as space allows, or you may have to wait, if Storyville is full. (please see the section, above, Capacity and Waiting Lists.) In general, Storyville is busiest weekday mornings and weekends. Weekday afternoons and evenings are often less crowded.
Q: How many chaperones do I need for a group visit?
A: We would like at least 1 adult for every 3 children, so they may be actively engaged with the children in their care.
Q: Do you do private birthday parties?
A: We do not host birthday parties in Storyville. However, you are welcome to invite your child's friends (birth to five years) and their parents to meet you here.
Q: What can I do to get ready for my group visit?
A: We invite your group leader to take a tour of Storyville to get a sense for the space and consider appropriate activities for your group. It would be helpful to review the Storyville Rules with your group before your visit. Please see: Do I need to schedule my group a visit?
Older Children:
Q: Why can't my older child come into Storyville?
A: Storyville was specifically designed for preschool children, birth to five, to use interactively with their caregivers. Recognizing that parents are a child's first teachers, the guiding mission of Storyville is to help preschool children, interactively with their caregivers, gain the skills they need to enter school ready to learn.
Though Storyville may look like a play area for families with older children, it is actually a learning environment intended for young children who have not yet begun school. Most of the children visiting Storyville are younger than four. While children who have entered school might enjoy some of the features of Storyville, they are at a different developmental level than the children for whom Storyville was designed.
Q: What can my older child do while his younger brother and I play in Storyville?
A: The main part of the library has a full service children's area where your older child can read and play while you and your preschooler visit Storyville. Please note that Maryland Law requires that children under 8 be accompanied by a caregiver, so an adult or a babysitter over 13 would need to stay with your child while in the library. It may be best for you to visit Storyville at a time when your older child is in school or spending time with a friend unless you have another adult to stay with him in the library.
Q: May a babysitter take my child into Storyville?
A: Since the legal age for babysitting is 13, teenagers over 13 years may accompany children birth to five. Teenage babysitters must understand that they are considered the adult in Storyville and thus are expected to interact with and supervise the younger children they are with at all times.
Cleaning and Safety:
Q: How do you keep Storyville clean?
A: To maintain an organized and hygienic environment, Storyville is tidied throughout the day. We ask our visitors to help by encouraging their children to use our materials appropriately and put them away before moving to a new area. Visitors are invited to place any toys they feel need cleaning in our "Sanitize Me" bin at the greeter desk.
Q: Do you allow adults without children into Storyville?
A: We do not allow unaccompanied adults in Storyville. Adults who arrive without children are welcome to tour Storyville with one of our staff.
Q: How can I make donations to Storyville?
A: You can make a tax deductible contribution to benefit Storyville in several ways:
To give online, visit the Support Storyville page.
To give by mail, mail your check to:
Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library
320 York Road
Towson, Maryland 21204-5179
You may also donate when you visit Storyville or the Rosedale Library.

A: Volunteer opportunities are sometimes available at the Storyville locations. To verify that a volunteer opportunity is available, please contact the Storyville Coordinator at the location where you would like to work. We cannot guarantee that there will be work available at all times and are under no obligation to accept volunteers.
Greeters greet visitors as they arrive, explain policies to visitors, sign visitors in and out, and manage the waiting list, as needed.
Cleaners maintain, organize, and sanitize Storyville materials and areas routinely and as needed.

A: You can apply to become a volunteer several ways. Interested applicants can pick up an application at the Storyville greeter desk; fill out an application [PDF] or contact a Storyville Coordinator.
Books, Toys and Materials:
Q: May I borrow materials from Storyville?
A: With the exception of a few Big Books, all Storyville books, Baby Booster Kits, and parent resource materials may be checked out using your library card at Rosedale Library's check out. Storyville toys may not be borrowed. You will find many more materials, for children and adults, in the main part of the library.
Q: May I return Storyville books to another Library?
A: As with all other BCPL materials, Storyville books may be returned to any other BCPL library.
The Storyville experience was created to foster early literacy and school readiness skills through interactive discovery and play. This can only happen with your involvement, as you are your children's first teacher. So please take advantage of this opportunity to engage with your children!
BCPL strives to provide a safe, educational, and fun environment for you and your children. Please assist us in this endeavor by cooperating with the following:
Storyville was designed specifically for children birth to five. Please make other arrangements for older children. There is a full service children's area in the main part of the library.
Print: Storyville Rules [PDF]
Parental supervision is required. We provide Storyville staff to guide you and answer questions, but we do not provide supervision of your children. You are responsible for their safety and comfort. Please do not leave your children unattended.
Please help us maintain a clean and sanitary environment; please keep all food and drink out of Storyville. However, nursing and bottle-feeding infants are permitted.
For the safety of our littlest visitors, the Baby Garden is reserved for babies who are not yet walking and their caregivers.
Please model courteous and attentive behaviors by keeping your cell phones on silent and other electronic devices off. Save cell phone conversations for the lobby. Laptop use is not permitted.
Guide your children to choose developmentally appropriate toys and play constructively. Young children thrive on realistic limit-setting and positive reinforcement.
Assist your child in putting away materials in one venue before moving on to another. This teaches your children the importance of clean up, as well as respect for others who will follow them.
Have fun playing with your children! Marvel in what your children can do. Follow their lead. Encourage them to take each learning experience farther. These are teachable moments that will last!
The project cost of Storyville @ Rosedale was paid with donations to the Foundation for Baltimore County Public Library from private sources and individuals as well as state funds. The project cost of Storyville @ Woodlawn was paid with funds from Baltimore County, the Foundation for BCPL and state funds.

POTSDAM Clarkson University combined a celebration of African heritage with a commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday night, with a look at how the civil rights leaders legacy continues to change the world.
Visitors could try African tea as they found a seat for the first event of the night, a panel of African-born students and professors who talked about what life is like in their homeland.
While the Rev. Mr. Kings campaign to achieve equality for black Americans has little to do with the problems facing modern-day Africa, his lessons about equality and peaceful activism are universal, the panelists said.
For me, Martin Luther King Jr. is an important figure. I see him as a son of Africa, but also as someone who spoke out about important ideas, said Sybille N. Nyeck, a political science professor originally from Cameroon.
The Rev. Mr. King was part of a movement that allowed America to be critical of itself, she said, which allowed change in many areas, not just the perception of race. This mindset has yet to reach many African nations, she said.
We have to get serious about social justice, she said.
Student Lorraine G. Njoki hopes to do just that.
Miss Njoki was born in Kenya. Her mother won a green card lottery and moved to New York City, bringing 7-year-old Lorraine with her.
Miss Njoki is now a senior at Clarkson, studying innovation and entrepreneurship with a minor in political science. Her passion is socially conscious businesses, which are designed not to make a huge profit but to benefit the world in some way.
Increasingly popular microlending firms, which recruit people to provide small loans to businesses in developing countries, are an example.
Miss Njoki donated $50 to a small electronics shop in Kenya, and plans to create a campus organization devoted to microlending.
Unlike charities, social businesses are able to turn enough of a profit to sustain themselves, which means they need not rely on government grants or charitable donations to pursue their missions.
There are so many issues that are going on to be solved through money, Miss Njoki said.
She hopes to join a social business when she graduates next year.
While much of the nights discussion focused on Africa, America is still far from social equality, said Professor Bebonchu Atems.
Mr. Atems said his own life can be seen as a fulfillment of the Rev. Mr. Kings dream. Born and raised in Cameroon, he was able to receive scholarships to get an American college education. While racism still exists, it is on its way out, he said.
Its not about being post-racial, he said. Its about being post-racist.
However, even as racial equality becomes ever more likely, economic injustice is still rampant, he said.
The slain civil rights leaders ideal was a dream of racial equality as much as it was a dream of economic equality, Mr. Atems said, reminding the crowd that the Rev. Mr. Kings most famous march was originally called The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
The dream will never be truly fulfilled until all forms of discrimination, no matter what the cause, are rooted out, he said.
After the panel talk, singers and musicians performed African music for the crowd.

The cause: Trouble usually originates between the wife and her husband's mother. Why? Marriage researcher John Gottman, PhD, says it's usually because both women are competing for the attention of the husband.
The cure: Solidarity is essential to the success of a marriage, so you both must present a united front. Husband must side with his wife in any disagreement—even if she's wrong. Mom must understand that her son is a husband first, son second.

Toxins, Waste and Pollutants: Just BAG IT.
This film is a must—add it to your canvas bag of eco tricks!
Bag It, premiering in Telluride this spring at the annual Mountain Film festival, is a feature-length documentary about the infamous plastic bag and its world of cousins. Narrator and protagonist Jeb Berrier weaves a tale around plastic that is at once candid and overwhelming. His role as a regular guy finding out about the offenses of plastics is the perfect persona to lead the audience through the natural progression of discovery and ultimately, disbelief at these findings. From an analysis of the composition of the plastic bag to a breakdown of the plastic-related chemicals found in cosmetics and toiletries, Bag It covers all aspects of the product that is now affecting our environment and our health.
The statistics presented in Bag It are alarming. Because we are so accustomed to using single-use items for literally a day or even fifteen minutes, we therefore assume that when we do dispose of them , they just "go away." But, as Jeb aptly inquires, "Where is away?"
Plastic as an environmental pollutant:
We find out that away is anywhere from a treetop in New York City (ever heard the term "the city flower of New York?") to a circular ocean current called a gyre. Just think about it, all waterways drain into an ocean. What astounded me about these gyres is that they are now full of floating plastic debris. The island of floating plastic in the Pacific Ocean is impossible to measure exactly, but it is somewhere between the size of Texas and that of the United States.
Ok, so we made a mess in the ocean—let's clean it up, right? Not so easy. Sadly, the plastic debris has been broken down into tiny bits by the sun and is now the consistency of soup. Jeb inspects a sample of the densely polluted water on the deck of a boat at sea. This plastic soup cannot be sifted out, but would have to be vacuumed, basically. Cleaning the North Pacific Gyre would be like vacuuming the US 3 times over. And I can't help but wonder, then what?
Jeb explores the reason why we should care about the Pacific Gyre. It affects the creatures who make the Pacific their home. It affects the animals above these creatures in the food chain. And it affects the humans who actually care about the well-being of ocean animals.
Gyre researchers inform us in Bag It that there is more plastic than plankton by weight in these areas, and therefore 40 times more plastic than food in some parts of the ocean. Fish are eating plastic rather than plankton and ocean birds eat the fish. One of the most moving parts of the film is an autopsy of a Pacific albatross, whose stomach is all plastic, and no food.
About Jeb as a "real" character:
The camera follows Jeb to places near and far, including the UK and San Francisco. With his casual dialogue, Jeb serves as a big-screen tour guide. He is such a likable, hilarious person (a truly outstanding personality in his local Telluride), that you can't help but feel yourself get involved with his very personal account. The film transitions from each plastic-wrapped topic with a mini-musing by Jeb, delivered from his kitchen or couch. These little monologues take a personal twist when he discovers his girlfriend Anne is pregnant.
Speaking of which, the story of his home life blends seamlessly with the plastic research he conducts, since the plastic he hones in on is that which is all around us. He muddles his way through sorting out recycling like most people. We've all had similar discussions—for example, at my house: "Babe, that's a '7.'" "I know, so it goes in." "I don't think so…Well fine, but I'm just not sure."
Jeb attempts to decipher the ingredients on the back of lotion containers. (Fragrance, phthalates, methyl, ethyl and butyl paraben…oh my!) The news of the pregnancy creates a new urgency to Jeb's undertaking; suddenly he isn't just uncovering facts to share, but considering the health of his baby in utero and in his home.
About plastics and our health:
To make plastics hard, or soft and pliable, chemicals such as Bisphenol-A, (BPA) and phthalates are added during manufacturing. Phthalates are also hidden in cosmetics and toiletries under the label "fragrance." These chemical additives, which are often used in food and drink containers, have been found to leach, and scientists have overwhelming evidence that the chemicals are affecting humans—specifically babies in utero and children. BPA and phthalates are linked to numerous health problems—cancer, diabetes, autism, attention deficit disorder, obesity, infertility—even smaller penis size.
Activist and actor Peter Coyote makes an appearance in Bag It to testify to the the effects of these harsh chemicals. He takes a blood test to determine the levels of various toxins housed in the body as a result of everyday exposure, a test also known as a "Body Burden" test. Even though he lives a clean, healthy lifestyle, his body burden is incredibly high; there are a number of toxic chemicals in his system. "Who gave these sons-of-bitches the right to poison the commons?!," he cries, referring to the companies that produce items containing BPA, phthalates and other chemicals. These chemicals are also found in personal care products and cosmetics, something people may not know, and are absorbed into our bodies through the skin. And unfortunately, they are still FDA approved.
After discovering the toxic effects of plastic-y substances on the human body, Jeb decides to make a personal sacrifice to see the level of truth in the information. He does a "before and after" test for BPA and phthalates—the "before" showing very low levels of the chemicals (Dr. Colborn commends him). He then subjects himself to 48 hours of exposure to what he knows are typical household culprits: dinners out of plastic containers that he heats in the microwave, fragrant shampoos, conditioners, body washes and lotions, various body and room sprays and even baby products. All I can report on his test is that the results are alarming.
The good news is that these chemicals are short-lived in your body, so it's never too late to stop ingesting absorbing, and inhaling these chemicals. There are even toxin cleanses out there, if you are so inspired.
More reasons to enjoy Bag It:
Throughout the film Jeb interviews an eco all-star cast of authors, artists, actors, activists and scientists: Chris Jordan, Peter Coyote (E.T. cast member turned activist), Annie Leonard and Dr. Theo Colburn, to name a few. The soundtrack rolls along to the meandering beat of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and bounces Jeb through the film from grocery store to hospital birthing room.
Watching Bag It is something everyone should do—I feel that I need a weekly dose of the documentary to keep me mindful of the issues it presents, especially as they affect our daily routines. I can honestly say it changed the way I shop for and dispose of things. I bring my own baggies and containers for bulk foods and rinse and reuse the containers that do come home with me newly bought. The tiny unrecyclable pieces irk me now: screw caps, peel-offs from milk and juice cartons, lips, rings and tabs—all the pieces that get shipped to Asia for sorting by indigent women and children or end up in the Pacific gyre and eventually in an innocent albatross's stomach. Jeb points out the peel-off plastic circles under the plastic screw cap that now comes on every carton, and asks, "When did they start doing that?" A great example of the wasteful behavior we've adopted for everyday convenience, the screw-top, peel-off circles are completely unnecessary, and he has a point: when did they start doing that?"
I love Bag It for what it accomplishes as a film for everyone. It is very accessible—a simple message delivered through one average man's candid point of view. Questions are presented and answers offered. The facts are never confusing or "for the environmental guru," but usually depicted with real footage, simple graphs, or from the mouth of a real person. It isn't just about bags, but the baggage we as humans now have to deal with as a result of years of over-consumption, waste, and yes—greed.
And, after several weeks of bringing my own bags or taking recycled paper ones when available, I have officially run out of plastic grocery shopping bags! This in itself gives me a cleansing feeling; they were always stuffed everywhere, taking up entire drawers, pantry space and other bags. I used them for picking up after my dog, can liners and, you know "gross things." Now I just don't line the can, and I dump the trash directly into the big bin outside. As far as picking up after Daisy—there's always plenty of old newspaper around to use for her deposits!

This looks awesome. I love the style of the film from the into and couldn't be happier that there is such a well-made, accessible film on plastic for public consumption. About time.
Thank you for your positive feedback! The whole film is beautifully made, and really makes you think.
I'm really glad to hear that they've made a documentary about plastic bags. I live in Bangkok, a very "plastic bag happy" city, where you find that you are looked at funny when you ask store vendors NOT to put your merchandise in a plastic bag! I always worry about what happens to all that plastic, and I am thrilled that the subject has been brought to light.
I really appreciate this documentary idea
Living in Bangkok, a city where people look at you as though you're crazy if you ask them not to give you a plastic bag to put your merchandise in, I really appreciate the fact that a documentary has been made about plastic bags and their environmental impact. I can't wait to see the documentary.
Thanks for responding, Camille. It was definitely like that here in the States up until recently. Now people still ask if you want a bag, but are not surprised anymore when you turn down the offer.
I look forward to seeing this in general release! The more this message is repeated, the more likely people become to finally choose alternatives. Corporations and politicians don't have nearly as much power to change our environment as consumers do; we effect change with our wallets, and the ripple effect goes upward (or sideways as I see it). Imagine a world in which we all take reusable shopping bags with us everywhere, and vendors are suddenly faced with overstocks. Then awareness builds of plastic packaging and people choose glass and cardboard instead. Then…

Well, I'm too busy nowadays with school to write an exhaustive prettyness thread, but I can get things rolling with a few basic instructions.
I only have experience prettifying Gnome, so that's what I'm going to write for.
Ok so you've installed the latest Gnome distro...this means you've either installed Fedora or Ubuntu. Both of these distros are embarrassingly ugly out of the box. To make my desktop look good, here's the process I usually follow:
Step 1) Change the background.
Everyone has their own background site. http://www.deviantart.com/ is a very popular site where you can find any number of backgrounds. Find a picture you really like, and then check out more by the same artist....usually you find all kinds of stuff this way. Additionally, there's http://gnome-look.org and http://art.gnome.org/ . Both of these site specialize in Gnome artwork. You're bound to find a background you like.
Once you find a background you like, download it to your computer. Then right-click on the desktop (anywhere that's not a window, menu, or icon will do), and select "Change Desktop Background." Add your new file by selecting "Add New Wallpaper" and navigating to the location of your new picture. There you go. Clicking on the new wallpaper will enable it.
Step 2) Change the GTK and Metacity theme.
Also called "Application" and "Window Manager" themes. GTK is the widget set used to draw windows in Gnome. It's responsible for things like buttons, menus, scroll bars, etc. Bluecurve (Fedora default theme) is alright. Human (Ubuntu default theme) is a visual abortion. I'm not sure how something so ugly came to be the default face to present to the user, but one way or another it has to go. Metacity is the window manager for Gnome. It's the bar you see at the top of every window that has "close", "minimize", and "Maximize" buttons in it.
The best sources of GTK/Metacity themes I know are http://gnome-look.org and http://art.gnome.org/ . Browse around and find one that looks nice and goes with your background (I can't stress this enough...make sure the colours in your background and gtk themes complement each other. I see too many instances of people who pay no regard to how things work together, and the end result is always a disaster). Once you have a theme picked out, download it to your computer. Now navigate to System->Preferences->Theme (must have at least Gnome 2.10...if you don't have 2.10, find the Themes application). Click on "Theme Details" and a window will pop up. Drag the file you downloaded to the new window. This will install the contents of the file you downloaded into your ~/.themes directory. You can now select the new theme from the window you just dragged it to. The window defaults to a list of GTK themes, but there's a tab at the top you can click to see your metacity themes.
This method of downloading and dragging works 95% of the time. In the event that the author doesn't know what they're doing and hasn't bundled the theme up in the way that Gnome expects, you can usually still install the theme by extracting the archive (right-click on the file you downloaded and select "Extract Here", and copying the folder that contains a file called "gtkrc" to your ~/.themes directory. For example, if I have a folder hierarchy like "Clearlooks/ClearlooksBlue/gtkrc", I'd copy the "ClearlooksBlue" directory into the ".themes" directory located under /home/myusername. Remember that this is only a backup in case things fail by the first method.
It is also worth mentioning that http://art.gnome.org has a graphical frontend that you can install on your computer. You can get it from http://www.miketech.net/gnome-art/index.php#download . I've been using it for some time, and it works very well. It's outrageously cool, and really simple to use. This is how desktop theming should be done.
Step 3) Change your icons
This step is a little more complicated if you're not comfortable with things like folders and directory structure. You see, for whatever stupid reason, Gnome stores window manager (Metacity) themes and GTK themes in the ~/.themes directory, and icons in the ~./icons directory. There's a very long-standing bug in the theme manager in which icons are installed into ~/.themes and as a result, they're not picked up by the theme changer. In order to work around this, you must manually install the icons to ~/.icons.
Get your favorite icon package from http://art.gnome.org/ or http://gnome-look.org/ . Download it to your computer, and extract it by right-clicking on it and selecting "extract here". Open up the folder that's created, and navigate to the directory containing "index.theme". Copy this directory to ~/.icons. For example, if I have the directory structure "SuedeIcons_FILES/Suede/index.theme", I'd copy the "Suede" directory to ~/.icons. This will give you access to your icons via the theme manager.
Step 4) Desklets
Ok so now we have a sexy background, a nice GTK theme, a pretty metacity theme, and some good looking icons. It's time to get some eye candy on the desktop itself. There's a program called "GDesklets" that installs transparent utilities on your desktop. You can see gdesklets in action, as well as download the program and the desklets themselves over at http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/ . Install the utility (probably available by apt-get or by yum as well), and start it by typing "gdesklets". Note that if you're using X Composite Manager, you'll have to start it by typing "gdesklets --translucent" otherwise all your desklets will appear in black boxes. More on this later.
I don't run a whole lot of desklets, so the installation of desklets is kind of left as an exercise to the reader. To the best of my recollection, if you right-click the gdesklets icon in the taskbar (looks like a blue square with puzzle pieces in it), and select "Manage Desklets', a window will pop up. I believe you can drag desklet archives into this window and install them.
Step 5) X Composite Manager
This is a must for anyone who's serious about eye candy. Unfortunately, it's a relatively new technology so it's still kind of unstable, and a little difficult to get working well.
The Composite extension to Xorg allows you to do stunningly gorgeous things such as drop shadows and true transparency in windows. If you've ever seen Mac OSX with its drop shadows and translucency, it's the same kind of deal. It will make your linux desktop look easily as good as a Mac, and WAAAAAAAY better than anything Windows can offer.
The setup of the composite extension is too involved to cover in this article. It depends on your video card, and is a multi-step process. You can find my quick-n-dirty howto here http://www.linuxjunior.org/yabbse/in...d=9794;start=0 . This page also includes a link to a more thorough tutorial.
Trust me...if you can get x composite manager up and running, you do want to. It adds a whole new element of depth and beauty to your desktop, and makes the difference between something that people just dismiss as an ok-looking linux desktop, and something that makes people do double-takes (and in many cases, absolutely lose it over how good your environment looks).
And that's it. Slick background + nice metacity + nice gtk + nice icons + your choice of gdesklets + xcompmgr = drop dead gorgeous linux desktop!

PILLAR POINT As with many cases of neurofibromatosis, you wouldnt know that Kim W. Fletchers son, Ganon, has the genetic disorder of the nervous system.
Mrs. Fletcher said her son was diagnosed at 4 months old and lives a normal, healthy life now as an 18-year-old. With the exception of a learning disability, there have been limited interruptions in his life from the disorder, she said.
Treatment isnt treatment; its just monitoring, Mrs. Fletcher said. There is still no cure.
People with neurofibromatosis get tumors on nerves in their body. According to the National Institutes of Health, the disorder could lead to skin changes, deformed bones, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, poor balance or intense pain.
The disorder is monitored at speciality clinics, including one in Syracuse and one in Buffalo. Many families also go out of state for management of the disorder. Mrs. Fletcher said she knows first hand that traveling to and from hospitals and clinics, getting tests done, medication and other related expenses can add up quickly. She wanted to help other families in situations similar to hers and in 1999 began fundraising for the Childrens Tumor Foundation to support research in finding a cure for neurofibromatosis.
In 2008, she and a few other north country residents formed NF R.A.C.E.R.S. Inc., a nonprofit agency to help families in the state cover expenses related to the disorder. There will be a 10k run at 8 a.m. Saturday and a 2k fun run/walk/bike at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, with both events starting and finishing at Kittos Marina, 23169 Kitto Marina Drive.
The cost to participate in the Race the Lake for Research is $35 for the 10k run and $10 for the 2k event. Those fees include a post-race pancake breakfast.
Our goal for every event is to really reach more families affected by neurofibromatosis, Mrs. Fletcher said. Our local organization has three board members with children with NF, so right here in Watertown thats three people with it off the top.
The event will receive some extra attention with the attendance of Reggie Bibbs, a man from Texas who has the genetic disorder. He runs the organization Just Ask, which is based on the concept of people just asking him why he has disfiguring tumors.
For more information on the race, call Kittos Marina at 639-6043.

Legislation went into effect July 1 stating that cigarettes sold in Utah must be manufactured to reduce the chance of fire. The purpose of the law is to help reduce fires and fire-caused fatalities in Utah homes and landscapes.
Tobacco products are the leading cause of preventable home-fire deaths in the United States. Data from the Utah State Fire Marshall shows 269 smoking-related fires in the Beehive State between 2003 and 2007, resulting in six deaths, 30 injuries, and millions of dollars in property damage.
Reduced fire propensity cigarettes, commonly called "fire-safe," are made by wrapping additional, less-porous paper, in two or three bands around the cigarette. When the flame reaches these speed bump bands, the burning slows and self-extinguishes.
New York enacted a similar law in 2004 and saw deaths decline from 48 per year to 28.
"As tobacco usage has declined in the U.S., fires caused by smoking have also declined by almost 40 percent since 1980," says David Neville, marketing coordinator, Tobacco Prevention and Control Program, Utah Department of Health.
The term "fire-safe" is really a misnomer, since no tobacco product is safe. This new law aims to reduce the fire danger associated with cigarettes, but the health hazards still remain according to Neville.
"Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, causing cancer, heart disease, and respiratory diseases. It is a leading cause of death in Utah," he stated.
Every day more than 1,500 people nationally under the age of 18 become regular smokers. About one-third of them will eventually die from a tobacco-related disease. Ninety percent of smokers started smoking before the age of 19 and most teens who smoke say if they could do it over again, they would never start. Nearly 200,000 Utahns continue to smoke cigarettes, and more than 1,100 Utahns die annually as a result of this activity.

Jeanne Corcoran was all smiles Monday afternoon as she sat perched on the bow of a 47-foot yacht surrounded by a crew of Hollywood movie producers, while cool high-speed winds whipped through her long, blond hair.
Motoring up the Intracoastal Waterway, Corcoran, Sarasota County's film commissioner, was in her element, discussing set locations and movie incentives while dolphins lapped at the boat's wake and A-list film executives marveled at Sarasota's architecture and drawbridges.
"I always get Amy Adams and Isla Fisher confused," Corcoran declared, turning to producer Ron Bozman, whose 2009 movie, "Confessions of a Shopaholic," based on the popular book series of the same name, stars Fisher.
"Could be the red hair," replied Bozman, whose previous film credits include "Philadelphia," "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Married to the Mob."
"Could be," Corcoran sighed. "I had the same problem with Ashley Judd and the actress from 'The Devil's Advocate.' What's her name?"
"Charlize Theron," answered Bridget Johnson, an independent feature-film producer who worked on "As Good as It Gets, "Jerry Maguire" and the Drew Barrymore flick, "Riding in Cars with Boys."
"Yes! Charlize Theron," Corcoran cheered. "Back when her hair was dark."
Not a bad way to spend a Monday, considering Corcoran's usual office space — a small corner office off Cattlemen Road.
The hour-and-a-half boat trip from Sarasota to Venice was one of several perks producers enjoyed this week while they met with city officials and business leaders in Sarasota and North Port, including Ringling College of Art Design instructors and Asolo Repertory cast and backstage crew members.
The tour, hosted by the Sarasota County Film and Entertainment Office, a division of the Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County, is what film-industry insiders lovingly call, "a fam tour" — a familiarization tour that Corcoran hopes will result in the filming of a major motion picture in Sarasota County.
Bozman, a movie producer for 40 years, was impressed with Sarasota's sophisticated small-town charm.
"I could see downtown lending itself to a nice, Main Street setting," said the New York City-based producer.
"It's attractive. It has character. It's not derelict. It's not generic, and it's not cookie-cutter. The fact that the city is not modernized beyond recognition works to your advantage. It's getting harder and harder to find cities like that."
Bozman wasn't the only producer making a mental checklist of Sarasota's inherent quirks. Johnson, who missed her flight Sunday to Sarasota and was forced to land in Tampa, instead, loved the kitschy stretch of U.S. 41 running between Palmetto and Sarasota.
"The coast is incredible," said Johnson, "but that lonely stretch of highway just outside the city is really interesting. I'd like to seriously scout locations there."
Jane Bartelme, a producer on "Legends of the Fall," "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Along Came Polly," was even more impressed with Sarasota's theater district, in particular the Asolo's talent pool, which includes actors, directors, costume designers, stage managers and makeup artists.
"In a perfect world, the place would be dictated by the story," Bartelme said. "But, at this point, it's dictated by the economy. The No. 1 thing every film project needs is a local crew base. You've got to hire as many local people as possible, otherwise, it's just not worth it."
More than 10 years have passed since a big-budget film rolled into Sarasota. Not since 1997, when Woody Harrelson's "Palmetto" filmed in the Gator Club and Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke's adaptation of
"Great Expectations" filmed in the Cà d'Zan mansion, have Sarasotans had reason to buzz about movie sets.
But that could change, says Wren Arthur, who runs Olive Productions, a film-, television- and commercial-production company founded by actors Steve Buscemi and Stanley Tucci, red-carpet regulars at Sarasota Film Festival events.
Arthur, a producer on "A Prairie Home Companion," which was featured at the 2006 Sarasota Film Festival, is currently scouting locations for Buscemi's "The Lone Surfer of Montana, Kansas," a movie based on a collection of short stories by author Davy Rothbart.
"I could see the movie in Sarasota," said Arthur, offering few details before stepping off the boat in Venice.
"We might have to let go of a few things in the book, but the town has potential."
Jeanne Corcoran was all smiles Monday afternoon as she sat perched on the bow of a 47-foot yacht surrounded by a crew of Hollywood movie producers, while cool high-speed winds whipped through her long, blond hair.

Shawn Tassone, Mind Body Medicine
Shawn TassoneMind-Body Medicine Student
For years, Dr. Shawn Tassone and his wife, both OBGYNs, have run a clinic in Arizona, frequently seeing 40 - 50 patients a day and each performing 15-20 deliveries per month. They also perform advanced procedures, including highly technical robotic surgeries. They're licensed, accredited, and up-to-date.
But something was missing from their practice … a mindful, more humanistic, element.
Over 20 years of practice, Shawn says, he made a discovery that would have been inconceivable to him while he was in medical school: that the body is more than a machine, and the patient is more than a body. "Sickness and disease are the physical part of it, but eventually I matured into the fact that there's a spiritual and emotional side to practicing medicine."
That was a hard realization, and it came to him while caring for someone who wasn't even his patient – his mother.
"My mother contracted, and died from, ovarian cancer, which is a gynecological cancer, and I'm a gynecologist," he says. "My mom was passing away from a process that I should have had some control over, but couldn't. Being with her through that I saw the clinical nature of the disease that was killing her, but I also saw that I wanted something more to offer her, something beyond just my clinical knowledge. I didn't know what 'more' there was to offer, I'd never really dealt with that before, and this was the spiritual seed that made me reexamine what I was doing."
He enrolled in a two year fellowship in integrative medicine at a prestigious university, under Andrew Weil, M.D. It was a great experience for him, but it merely opened more questions. "It emphasized the humanistic side of medicine, and the spirituality of it came to the forefront, and it brought up a lot of questions for me about how I practice, but where were the answers?" he asks. "When I was done with the program, I felt 'okay, there's got to be a next step.'"
His search for a deeper understanding of integrative medicine brought him to Saybrook, which he says was the only program he could find that offered academically rigorous advanced degrees in mind-body health.
"I started out in the Human Science program because the College of Mind-Body Medicine was still being developed, and found that I really liked the Saybrook model," he says. "It was much more rigorous than other universities I'd looked at, and all of the students were really capable people doing academically superior work. When you look at the table of books by alumni at the (Residential Conferences) it's very impressive. As soon as the College of Mind-Body Medicine opened, I transferred over to that."
He says the work he's done as a PhD student at Saybrook has been directly applicable to the way he works with patients. "We've integrated integrative medicine into our practice. They don't cover things like this in medical school, but I know a lot of patients and physicians are really looking for this knowledge and approach. It's amazing what studying Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook has done for me in just two years."
Since becoming a student at Saybrook, he and his wife have published a book on the myths and superstitions surrounding pregnancy called Hands Off My Belly! The Pregnant Woman's Survival Guide to Myths Mothers and Moods, and they are looking to publish a second book on the spiritual aspects of pregnancy. "Many of the chapters are from my experiences at Saybrook's Mind-Body Medicine conferences, and explain how I can apply this knowledge to pregnant patients."
Shawn expects the practice of mind-body medicine to grow: he knows firsthand how much many medical professionals like him want to offer integrative care to their patients. And he believes Saybrook will play a key role in this process.
"I look at the people I'm studying with and I think 'some of these people I'm training with are going to be leaders in the field," he says. "It's neat for me to make connections with some of these mind-body pioneers."

Eastbourne hotels
People have inhabited this part of the Sussex south coast since the Stone Age, but Eastbourne's time to shine only really came with the advent of steam, quickly turning the town into a top seaside resort. Hordes of Victorian passengers piled off trains to enjoy the sunshine, the beaches and the attractions on Eastbourne's Grand Parade or listen to music at the Bandstand. Eastbourne's suitability as a holiday destination was hinted at earlier though – in 1793 George III brought the kids (Edward, Octavius, Elizabeth and Sophia to be precise) to Eastbourne for their summer hols.
Eastbourne does not do seaside tack and in many respects it attracts for the same reasons it did in Victorian times. Back then, just as now you could hire a deckchair, or take a constitutional along filigree-trimmed Eastbourne Pier with its quirky Camera Obscura.
But, unlike the Victorians, you can now hire out a kayak from the beach opposite Wish Tower Hill or take the Hop on Hop off City Sightseeing Bus to get your bearings. Alternatively jump aboard the cute little Dotto Train which stops at Treasure Island, Fort Fun, the Sovereign Centre and Atlantic Drive.
10. Eastbourne Speedway Get your thrills on the excellent race track or watch the Elite Eagles perform.
5. Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway Dinky locomotives travel a mile around a lake.
9. Sovereign Harbour Marina For sailing, walking shopping and eating, plus boat trips.
4. Beachy Head is the highest chalk sea cliff in the UK – 530 feet high with staggering views – better watch your step though.
8. Allchorn Pleasure Boats set off from the Lower Promenade with cruises and commentary from the beach to Beachy Head.
3. Eastbourne Lifeboat Museum and Shop – the history of lifeboats from 1822 onwards.
7. How We Lived Then Museum Over 100,000 exhibits from the past 50 years, recreated rooms and shops over 4 floors.
2. Helen Garden – Pleasure Ground is a clifftop delight. Play mini golf, lawn bowls or petanque and then collapse in a stripy deckchair.
6. Holywell Retreat is a quaint little enclave with a popular café, plus beach huts and chalets. Roll up your trousers, get your knotted hankie out and enjoy.
1. Eastbourne's Redoubt Fortress is a circular Napoleonic brick structure and home to the biggest military museum in the South East.
The Aegon International Tennis Championships are held in Eastbourne, yearly during June at the headquarters of the Lawn Tennis Association.
During August the sky's the limit when Eastbourne Airshow takes over town.
The Eastbourne Beer Festival takes place in the award-winning Winter Garden in October so get your beer goggles on. Book early for this though, since it's the biggest of its kind in East Sussex.
The Eastbourne Lammas Festival takes place in July/August at the Western Lawns and on the Seafront and involving Morris dancing and a Carnival Parade.
The 1812 Firework Concerts take place at the Bandstand, Grand Parade on various evenings throughout the summer.
Enjoy all the fun of the fair when the Funfair comes to Eastbourne's Princes Park during the month of August.
Enjoy messing about on the water at the Eastbourne RNLI Regatta which takes place during August at the Lifeboat Station.
The Bonfire Society Procession & Fireworks take over Eastbourne's Seafront during October.
Eastbourne's Beachy Head Marathon is a highlight on the events calendar. This run for charity takes place during October each year.
Enter into the Xmas spirit by attending the Christmas Day Concert at the Bandstand on the 25th December.
· Eastbourne holds the record for most amount of sunshine ever recorded in a month in July 1911. No wonder it is promoted as the 'Sunshine Coast'. Best months to go for the sun are July and August, but the occasional long hot summer can extend well into September.
· Temperatures during summer have average highs of around 21°C and low of just 14°C. Winter temps average out at highs of around 10°C and lows of between 3 and 4°C.
· Wettest months are October and November based on previous years' statistics, but just like any other British seaside resort showers can turn up at any time of year. Take a brolly or dash for cover.
· Eastbourne is just 44 miles south of M25, on the south coast, with the M23, A27 and A22 other approach routes. For a scenic drive take the A259. National Express run a daily service to Eastbourne from a host of UK cities.
· A frequent rail service operates from London Victoria into Eastbourne station which also has direct links to Gatwick and Ashford International (for Eurostar).
· London Gatwick is just a half an hour away by rail or car. Stansted and Heathrow are around two hours. If you have your own plane or helicopter you can fly into Shoreham airport or use Boship helipad.
Eastbourne attractions
England has a plethora of idyllic, throwback seaside towns, each with a singular brand of charm and eclectic ensemble of attractions. Of the lot, Eastbourne surely has to rank as one of the best. The East Sussex town of 98,000 people is a venerable destination that sits across the English Channel from Dieppe, France and the Seine-Maritime department of Haute-Normandie.
Eastbourne's development as an elegant coastal town took off in earnest in the late Victorian period. Remarkably however, this enviable span of south coast England was a settlement as far back as the Stone Age. The Roman Empire kept a small outpost in what is now Eastbourne and throughout the Middle Ages, the town was well-regarded. In the mid-18th century, Eastbourne was proclaimed as "The Empress of Watering Places" and indeed, while the name hasn't stuck, the reputation certainly has to some degree. In addition to the expansive coast, the nostalgic town unfurls a lovely array of landmarks, from the 13th century Saint Mary's Church to Eastbourne Downs. South Downs is a magnificent recent addition to England's national park system and the spirited Eastbourne Festival offers a great excuse to visit the south coast. Other worthwhile points of interest include a vintage Camera Obscura (come at sunset), the Eastbourne Heritage Centre and Museum of Shops.

Sunday, June 3rd
Taken from the DMZGH Teachings page, some quotes about embracing diversity …
From a public statement by Myogen Steve Stucky and Ryushin Paul Haller, then co-abbots of San Francisco Zen Center:
Our bodhisattva vow is to include all beings, and our expression of this vow means to go beyond inherited cultural patterns. We recognize that biases inherent in American culture are a karmic legacy that needs to be acknowledged and overcome if we are to become a sangha that truly reflects the boundless wisdom and compassion of all buddhas.
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche:
I don't see any particular problems in working with others. Just go ahead. Push yourself harder. Sometimes you find that you don't like someone that you are trying to work with. But if you look behind their facade, you see that the person is, in fact, quite lovable. They do possess the primordial dot.
When you first talk to them, you might find them completely off-putting and irritating. You wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole. But gradually, your pole becomes shorter. You begin to do a double-take. You might even begin to like them. The point here is that you have to push harder, and then there's no problem at all. You might be working with someone who is completely untrustworthy, but that doesn't matter. Trust begins with trusting in yourself, your dot, and your commitment.
You have to work hard to help others, directly, without even wearing rubber gloves to clean up their vomit. You're not like an employer who is interviewing potential employees to decide which ones to hire. We are going to help others, regardless of their workability.
Dalai Lama:
I believe an important distinction can be made between religion and spirituality. Religion I take to be concerned with faith in the claims to salvation of one faith tradition or another. Spirituality I take to be concerned with qualities of the human spirit, love and compassion, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, contentment, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of harmony, that bring happiness both to self and others.
Dedication: In spirit, members of the sangha of Desert Mirror Zendo & Guest House are carrying a giant, beautiful rainbow banner and marching in the Gay Pride parade in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Maybe next year we can actually be there, live and in the flesh, expressing our love for and solidarity with all beings. May it be so.
Happy Pride Day, everyone!
Love, Russ

10 Wild Art Cars From Burning Man
The beauty of a $2000 car is that unless you blow it up, its value is pretty much fixed. You're free to experiment and learn. Take, for example, this 1986 Saab 900 Turbo—a winter beater destined to endure Michigan's salty winters while my primary car hibernates. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Saab's interior scored a —5. With a meager makeover budget, I combed craft stores, hobby shops, and auto parts depots to find materials for dirt-cheap repairs.
The Saab's torn seat hurt my eyes just to look at it, but the thought of draping a cheap, ill-fitting seat cover over it hurt even more. Higher-quality, fitted ones were simply out of my price range. But a trip to a craft store revealed another option.
For $7 I bought a curved upholstery needle and high-strength thread. I was planning to sew in a contrasting-color patch, but I was able to stretch the fabric and cover the hole. I finished by applying fabric cleaner with a terry-cloth rag.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
At the end of the 2003 season, Carbon High girls soccer coach Dave Capalbo announced he would be stepping down from the program he had begun in 2000.
However, his retirement was short lived after new coach Tim Palmer resigned the program early in the preseason.
Tonya Henrie, who was Palmer's assistant coach, took over the head position. Capalbo was asked to come back as an assistant coach for an undetermined amount of time.
This is Carbon High's first season as a high school girls sport. At the end of last season, petitions to change status from a club to a sport were approved by the school board.
Carbon has struggled on the field so far this season, losing several of their games by a large margin.
However, Henrie said both the junior varsity and varsity teams are coming around and the constant fluctuation that has defined the early season is beginning to slow.
Many of Carbon's preseason games have also been against more established, 4A programs, which doesn't give an accurate prediction of the weeks to come.
The Lady Dinos will begin Region 8 play today against Delta High at Delta, followed by a Sept. 7 away game against North Sanpete.
Time will tell if a rocky preseason can be chalked up to a rocky coaching start.
Regardless, Carbon High enters only its fifth season with a girls soccer program and should be expected to struggle as it seeks an identity as the newest sport at the school.

Tuberculosis Overview
Tuberculosis (TB) describes an infectious disease that has plagued humans since the Neolithic times. Two organisms cause
Physicians in ancient Greece called this illness "phthisis" to reflect its wasting character. During the 17th and 18th centuries, TB caused up to 25% of all deaths in Europe. In more recent times, tuberculosis has been called "consumption."
