Dire straits for Ventura's homeless
Housing, services as issues of contention after clearing of river bottoms
By Chris O'Neal 09/12/2013
Several of Ventura's homeless residents marched on City Hall in an effort to raise awareness of their residential needs this past week, an issue made more pressing by the recent clearing of the Santa Clara River bottom.
Brenda Lee Davis and husband Corey Davis have been homeless for 23 years. After giving up their home in Meiners Oaks, the Davises moved into the Ventura River bottom and have been on the move ever since.
"We want to work," said Brenda. "Don't segregate us. Don't try to push us out. Make way for us to live together in harmony."
Along with her and her husband was Christopher Curl, who heads a ministry for the homeless in Ventura. Curl has been homeless for five years.
Among their contentions with the city, where to legally sleep is of major concern.
"Please don't give us tickets that we can't pay for," said Curl, who has received parking tickets for sleeping in his vehicle. "If we have a job, we get fired because we get put in jail for not being able to pay our tickets."
Safe Sleep Ventura allows the use of vehicles for shelter for up to 90 days in designated lots, but some local churches are increasingly concerned about its limitations.
"The Safe Sleep Program does provide opportunities for a very small percentage of people who are sleeping in their cars," said the Rev. Jan Christian of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ventura. "It meets the need of a tiny fraction of the city of Ventura, but the need is much greater."
Christian hopes to meet with other local organizations in an effort to persuade the city to open new lots to expand the Safe Sleep Program and to lessen the rigorous requirements for those applying. Currently, the program allows up to five vehicles per designated lot, of which there are two in the city.
"It works to everyone's benefit if we can get a little bit creative and figure it out," said Christian. "It costs so much more money to be responding to people who are homeless than to keep them in their homes."
In the afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 3, off Harbor Boulevard near Olivas Links golf course, more than 500 CLU students were bused onto the entrance of the Santa Clara River bottom, the spot that previously upward of 80 of Ventura's homeless called home. The students' task was to clear the multiple campsites of debris, varying from discarded blankets to albums of photographs left behind.
"This isn't just Ventura's issue, but an issue across the board of where do we house folks," said Salvation Army's Director of Social Services Rob Orth. "A percentage of those folks have zero income and some significant barriers when it comes to getting income, whether its drug, alcohol, mental health history or all of the above."
Orth sites the Housing First model as a means by which to place people who are homeless into homes before reaching the streets, one that has been successful elsewhere and could be beneficial to the city. Housing First, known locally as Homeless2Home, places a homeless person into an apartment or room directly as opposed to transitioning through a shelter first. Each person is assigned a case manager to assure the transition is successful. The Homeless2Home project, in collaboration with the Salvation Army, Turning Point Foundation and Project Understanding, serves up to 150 homeless.
Amy Luoma, housing specialist with the Homeless2Home project, said that she believes that the initiative can be monumentally successful, when landlords cooperate.
"The biggest barrier, hands down, is inventory. There is a definite lack of inventory in the city of Ventura," said Luoma. "We need to figure out ways to restructure our current inventory and get creative in terms of how we house these individuals who desperately need our community's support."
"It's much easier to work with someone once they're housed than when they are in the street," said Orth, echoing Christian's sentiment, "but finding a place to put them is tough. We work with those who are willing to change."
The Santa Clara River bottom project area is now clear, with only a smattering of tents remaining, a small percentage of those that were once called them home. From the many camps came just shy of 60 tons of waste, which cost close to $7,000 to dispose of.
"As new resources come to bear for the Homeless2Home program, we need to make sure there's a high level of coordination between the city and private donors," said Ventura's Community Services Manager Peter Brown. "We're not just bridging the gap this month or this year; we're doing it month after month and year after year."
Brown believes that an endowment is needed for programs like Homeless2Home to succeed in the long term.
"Right now, we're in the mosh pit of trying to figure out the long-term problems," said Brown. "Our success would be leaving this legacy of an endowment."
Last Friday, the Davises and Curl returned to City Hall with signs and a message. The trio at City Hall was not a part of the Santa Clara River camp and has been nomadic throughout the city.
"There's no way we're going to end homelessness without community engagement," said Luoma. "Homelessness impacts our entire community; I would hope that it reaches everyone on a human level."

Wow 23 years unemployed, and your homeless? Ventura is a very small town to have the huge impact the homeless population have on the local community. Every street market street corner and intersection has a derelict posted on it panhandling and harassing us as we try to go about our day. Last week after surfing while standing in line waiting for my turn at the shower, a homeless person cut through the line and started washing his dog while we were using the shower. The amount of indigents here in Ventura is at the level of ridiculous. Here is a suggestion to the Salvation Armys housing concern. A bus trip to trip to L.A. and the Director of Social services and go too.


text: May 14, 2013 12:43 'Pure Chess' makes some bad moves 'Pure Chess' makes some bad moves "Pure Chess" "Pure Chess" "Pure Chess" Langdon Herrick| Special to theadvocate.com June 14, 2012; 2:20 p.m. Comments Do you love chess, but have an irrational fear of parks, nice old men and stereotypically bespectacled poindexters? If so, "Pure Chess," a graphically-impressive chess game for the Playstation 3, would theoretically be right up your alley. Unfortunately, the poorly-executed multiplayer mode will leave you scratching your head and wishing you'd just googled "play chess online" instead of wasting money on this game. "Pure Chess" delivers on its title. There are no chess variations like three-dimensional or Cheshire cat chess, no extra pieces and definitely no rhombuses. This is just the classic game with a few options for time limits and chess piece appearance. The difficulty level can be lowered for newcomers who can't tell the difference between a bishop and a checkers piece, or raised to grandmaster status for more experienced players. Other than the basic exhibition and tournament modes, the meat of the game's single player experience comes in the form of a collection of one hundred chess-based puzzles. Things start simple with objectives, but quickly become fiendishly difficult. It's easy to get lost in some of the clever conundrums, and I found myself pouring over a few of them for longer than I'd care to admit. Chess is a notoriously complex game. Fortunately, a tutorial is available to teach new players what each piece can do and what the basic flow of the game is. Unfortunately, the intermediate and advanced tactics are breezed over, leaving the player to fend for themselves. For instance, the game shows an example of an early-game tactic called an Italian Game, but doesn't explain why it's effective or how to counter it. The game introduces the player to situation-specific piece movements like en passant and castling, but doesn't elaborate on when to use them. In short, if you really want to learn how to play chess, you're better off using the plain old internet. While the lack of robust tutorial is disappointing, it's the pitiful online multiplayer that puts "Pure Chess" in checkmate. The only way to play is by making your move, sending it off to a friend and waiting for them to respond. There is no option for a "live" game. To make matters worse, you can only play with people who are already on your friends list on the Playstation network. If you don't have any friends foolish enough to spend nine bucks on something they could play for free on nearly every computer on the planet, then you're out of luck. It's hard to believe that you can play a game of live chess with friends on a phone the size of a graham cracker, but not on a PS3. The presentation straddles the line between sophisticated and bland. While the chess pieces and environments feature stunning realism, there is little variety unless you're willing to plunk down some extra dough for a set featuring animals instead of the traditional pieces. The menus look like something from a Nintendo Wii fitness game, and the music is a predictably drowsy mix of passive classical tunes and soft jazz that can fortunately be switched off in favor of whatever music you have stored on your PS3. Other than the puzzles, there's literally nothing else to "Pure Chess," but chess. At nine dollars, it isn't the most expensive game on the Playstation Network, but the ludicrous limitations of the online multiplayer and the lack of a fleshed-out tutorial make it impossible to favor it over the countless free chess games you can play on the internet. Chess may be the game of kings, but "Pure Chess" is pure disappointment. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

For some reason I have gotten the feeling that somehow the program, "putty" could be less secure than the other SSH program I use to remotely connect to my server, normally I use WinSCP. Is putty any less secure than WinSCP or vice versa? I am incredibly inexperienced in all things server/web/security related, thats why I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.
I needed to connect to my remote server using a terminal which could enter input requested by the server, something that WinSCP would not allow. This is because I needed to configure a .htpasswd file to restrict casual users from accessing my home directory, or any directory that I do not want them to access for that matter. My university which hosts this server suggests that I use WinSCP as I am a windows users, but WinSCP does not allow the specific command
htpasswd -c .htpasswd path which creates the file at the location replaced by
path and then requests my input to create the username/password, so I used putty instead.

San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge, Morning. San Francisco, California. January 6, 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
San Francisco skyline and Golden Gate Bridge at dawn as a winter storm passes
I have previously photographed this alignment of San Francisco icons so I know more or less the precise spot to set up in – a slice of landscape about 10 feet wide and perhaps 40 feet long. It has been a few years since I've stopped to photograph there, but the opportunity came up on this morning. I had driven up to San Francisco and across the Golden Gate Bridge to meet up with a large group of photographers who were on a so-called "photo walk" devoted to long exposure photography. I had no idea it would be as popular as it turned out to be! Although I arrived at the base of the road to this location well before sun rise, as I ascended I encountered several successive parking areas that were already full… before dawn… on a cold winter day… during a storm!
So I headed on up the road toward the summit, but found that access gates were closed before the top. I parked and thought a bit about what I might shoot, then grabbed my gear and started walking on up the hill. Before long I stopped at this spot – where other photographers were already set up – and set up in "my spot" that aligns the bridge tower with the building and made a few exposures. It was still quite dark – just before dawn and with thick clouds above the city – but this ended up working to my advantage. Photographing this bridge at night is very tricky because the towers are lit rather brightly and the orange color is very "hot" when photographed, making for some truly complicated exposure decisions. However, with just a bit of diffused pre-dawn light filtering in and the lights in the city not yet extinguished, it became possible to get a nice exposure on the bridge and reveal some of the details of the downtown buildings.

text: In the last article the writer talked about ways to make fitness fun by involving your child or someone else's child. Well here is another simple activity to do with your kids and that is walking. For some people walking can be mundane and a boring activity, a person can lose interest quickly. But when you take a child for walk, it can be a more fun and interesting activity please check out the writer's goofy video with his daughter. Kids in general are curious individuals and they will point out things to you the adult that might miss. Such as in this case after winter, they will point out that plants are starting to sprout or grow again along the fields next to the sidewalks. They may also point out the different kind of birds that are flying around or the bugs crawling on the ground. And at the same time it is also important to help the child stay motivated with the fun walk as well by helping them understand the importance of regular exercise and by walking in goofy ways such as backwards or sideways. Before heading out here are some things to do before the walk, such as applying sunscreen, you don't want your little one to get sunburned. Carry a light knapsack that should contain a couple bottles of water to keep you child hydrated, the writer tells his daughter the water is liquid energy. Thirdly, allow your child to take small breaks during the walk especially if they are walking longer distances than they are used to. You don't want your child to have a bad experience during this activity or else they may decline to participate next time.

The Project
The project seeks to establish a new slaughterhouse in the village of Faafan in the Somali Regional State of Ethiopia that is planned to process meat specifically for export to the Middle East, Africa and Asian countries. The Proposed meat processing plant has a throughput of 200 large ruminants (cattle and calves) and 2000 small ruminants (sheep and goats) in an 8 hour shift production period. If there is sufficient market demand, there is possibility to do a second 8 hr shift during the night.
In addition to the above, the proposed abattoir will provide slaughtering and logistics services for traders who find market outlets for Ethiopian red meat but who do not have their own slaughtering and packing plant. The abattoir will charge a standard fee for the service. This service will depend on situations where JESH has fewer orders than the daily capacity of the plant and the availability of other markets that need slaughtering services only. This will be an additional service that does not exit currently in the country, despite the high demand of Ethiopian red meat. Hence, this service will provide an additional income stream when JESH has no confirmed orders.

I know there are a number of you who read Vinography that aspire to be in the wine business. Heck, don't we all harbor even the tiniest of fantasies about making a fabulous living being a winemaker, a sommelier, a vineyard owner, or (ahem) a wine writer? There may be no hope for me (what kind of writer does make a fabulous living?) but the rest of you might just be in the right place at the right time.
Courtesy of Tom over at Fermentations, comes this juicy tidbit: Entrepreneur magazine has added Wine as one of the top 13 hot businesses for 2005 and have proclaimed the entire sector as a growth industry.
It's the nectar of the gods-and the nectar of Americans, too, apparently. The number of Americans who drank wine at least once a week increased from 19.2 million in 2000 to 25.4 million in 2003, according to the Wine Market Council. And it seems that American consumers have also developed a serious affection for all things wine-related.
While starting a winery is one way to get into the wine business, you'll wait at least seven years before producing your first bottle. Creating a business peripheral to wineries could provide a quicker path to success. From wine educators and wine game inventors to wine accessory manufacturers and builders who design wine cellars, entrepreneurs are entering this market from all sides.
With a background in the restaurant industry, focusing on wine, Kyl Cabbage got into the peripheral side of the wine business by opening The Wine Experience in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1995. Cabbage wanted to create an environment that would draw everyone from knowledgeable wine enthusiasts to newbies. "We had to dispel the thought that wine is only for the rich," says Cabbage, 44. The Wine Experience provides a forum for wine tasting and wine education, while offering a selection of over 2,800 labels for sale-the company even coordinates wine-tasting trips to Napa Valley. With two locations in the Des Moines area, The Wine Experience is slated to gross $3 million this year.
Targeting baby boomers is a no-brainer in this industry, but wine consumption is also growing steadily among Millennials in their early 20s, says Vic Motto, chairman and CEO of Global Wine Partners, a global wine investment bank in St. Helena, California. He also notes that the market is starting to shift: An overabundance of grapes in the past few years had lowered the price of wine, but a smaller harvest in coming years will raise wine prices a bit in this cyclical industry. "It's a highly competitive industry," says Motto, but he notes there is still room for people to carve out a market niche.
Tom has some of his own thoughts about what the areas of opportunity are. Whatever your interest in wine, perhaps it can figure into your upcoming new years resolutions, or if you're like me, just the usual dreams of sugar plums (and Sangiovese).

My 2 Cents -
re: mr Author
If you want women to chase you for your cash / get certified. The bimbos will come out of the woodwork. If you want some one to love you for you / dont, and see what happens. So you are a millionaire, great, me 2 , big deal... people will do anything for money, including marry it. You can marry more in a minute than you can make in a life time. Fortuneately I dont have to worry about that problem. No, I am not certified and dont plan on being. I dont have to work that hard, I can live comfortably on my income from my job, and interest from my investments. I love the fine things in life as we all do, and I try to enjoy everyday I have on this earth. I saw my Dad go way too soon, and I would give back a mill to have him around for another year. He left us all well off after a lifetime of hard work, we ( my brothers and I ) can enjoy the the fruits of all his labor, thanks to his generousity.
Find a young thing that loves you and your money. If that is what you want. Or find a girl who loves you for you. - Its that simple. Good Luck in the hunt - or are you now the hunted !!
What it is wrong looking for somebody who have financial security, witch a have and I would like to have man with same security and enjoy life together. This didn't mean I am gold digger. I just don't like to be financially dependent on somebody. I would like to meet man with some morals and fin. values as me.

I DO NOT!!!! But it's sad to say that quite a lot of women do. A meal ticket is not the way i roll...I was raised to be a hard worker & all good things come to those who wait. I've never been the girl to seek out the wealthy old men. lol I just look for the ones that have a good financialy STABLE job..I guess its easier for them bc God blessed them w/good looks to latch onto a guy w/a big wallet but somewhere along the line i would loose my integrity.

Well what did you expect we happen to live in a world full of animals with no morals if you care to share stories let me know. I do not require money as I have my own I would like to find a man that speaks with truth, doesn't play games and wants something besides what I can give them like me who I am not what I have. Money does not make one happy it simply provides and affords a differ lifestyle if one chooses. It also has an ugly side as well. I am at the point of having hit my limit of patience for stupidity. And why do men or women lie the lie reveals itself soooo quickly. An true actress can't play the part 24/7 or a man so lets just be ourselves and show some honor and dignity. I would never sell myself for anything ever notta

Here is just a thought. Perhaps there is an increase in your responses because once you are verified it takes one more element of fear out of the equation. There are so many scammers out there that claim to have a ton of money but don't. Then they prey on the vulnerable for what ever they can get.

I read over on the Norwegian Elle Decoration blog that Cecilie Maz has launched some new design – the chair minuscule, in collaboration with Fritz Hansen. As it is styled here it looks very appealing. I have been lusting after Cecilie's Caravaggio lamp for some time. Might have to get one in black for our living room.
Any designer lamps or chairs that are on your lust list?

A Fuhrman-Style Feast
Any of you who have read Eat to Live or Disease-Proof Your Child probably have some friends and relatives who think you survive on nothing but carrot sticks and flax seeds.
Have you met Robin Jeep? She's the respected professional chef who spends her days coming up with delicious new ways to prepare the healthy food Dr. Fuhrman recommends. She's on a mission to teach everyone that healthy food can be much more exciting and varied than carrot sticks and flax seeds. She proved it beyond a shadow of a doubt at the feast she oversaw a few weeks ago at a luncheon and lecture event Dr. Fuhrman put on in New Jersey.
By all accounts, the food was incredible. And now, just in time for Thanksgiving and the holidays, Robin has sent over the recipes she used that day:

In Part I, we introduced the concept of "withdrawal rates", and offered a brief history regarding how financial developments during the past 15-20 years have led to a significant shift in our understanding of what a sustainable withdrawal rate might be!
We also introduced you to a seasoned and accomplished financial professional (and leader) within Merrill Lynch Wealth Management. Responding to my question regarding how to determine a sustainable withdrawal rate appropriate for today's world, Steve indicated that the often-referenced "4% withdrawal rate" is overly simplistic. Here in Part II, Steve offers details regarding why and how a "4% rate" may not be appropriate for you!
From Steve Diltz:
"As mentioned in our recently released whitepaper, "Systematic Withdrawal Strategies for Retirees," sustainable spending rates depend critically on a client's age, gender and risk tolerance. For example, a 55-year-old female retiree seeking a moderate (90%) certainty of not outliving her wealth can sustainably spend only 3.2% of her assets in the first year. However, a 75-year-old woman is able to spend 5.2% because she has a lower remaining life expectancy (due to her age) and therefore her annual spending can represent a larger share of wealth.
"In addition to age, gender also matters in determining a client's spending rate. In the whitepaper titled, "Planning for Retirement: Addressing the Unique Needs of Women," on average women outlive men by about five years. Therefore, a woman must plan for her nest egg to last longer. In fact, according to the Social Security Administration, women who reach age 65 can expect to live an average of 20 more years.
"Now, let's consider a parallel example. A 75-year-old woman may spend at a 5.2% rate; however, a man the same age can only afford to spend 5.5%. And if we consider two 75-year olds who are married to each other and desire to preserve their wealth through the lifetime of each one of them – they should limit annual withdrawals to just 4.9% (or less).
"In addition, each client should consider how much certainty they desire when determining their sustainable spending level. A client who is willing to take risks will have a higher spending level than a client who is not willing to aggressively invest. For example, a 65-year old woman seeking a moderate (90%) certainty of not outliving her wealth can sustainably spend up to 3.9% of her assets. However, if she is willing to tolerate less (80%) certainty, she may spend 4.5%, while if she seeks greater (95%) certainty, she may spend only 3.5%.
"Essentially, there is no one-size-fits-all guidance for retirement spending rates! Each client requires individualized attention, since each client is unique. Any calculation regarding a sustainable financial plan in retirement must consider the age and gender of each client, as well as her/his tolerance for uncertainty (that is, his/her risk tolerance).
"For example, the financial wellbeing of a 60-year-old female with a $1 million investment portfolio who spends at the rate of $60,000 per year may not be sustainable. However, a retiree 20 years her senior who is spending the very same amount might be considered to be spending "too little".
"In summary, although the "4% withdrawal rule" was original developed with the intent that it could provide retirees with a helpful guide… it is, in fact, overly simplistic. Therefore, no retiree should blindly assume that a 4% withdrawal rate is will provide him or her with a sustainable retiree lifestyle! Instead, to ensure she/he will not outlive the available resources, each retiree should consult with a financial professional."
Thank you very much, Steve!

Starting just before 7 am, Wednesday, a power outage began in western Adams County, located in south central Pennsylvania, about four miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line.
An accumulation of about one-half inch of ice coats the trees and power lines. An announcement by First Energy, a Met Ed power company, noted that there are widespread power outages throughout its service area caused by fallen tree limbs. After more than one hour, roughly about 8:30 am, electrical service had not yet been restored. Met Ed reported it had numerous emergency crews out in the field working to restore power.
Schools throughout the area either closed or announced two hour delays. Court and municipal offices in York County were closed, said York County public information officer Carl Lindquist. While PennDOT reports that all of its available crews were in the field plowing snow and ice and treating roads. Secondary roads remained ice covered in the morning.
Icy conditions on Pennsylvania Turnpike near Harrisburg caused a serious accident overnight resulting in that section roadway to be closed for many hours. The 911 call center continued to dispatch brush units to reports of downed trees. An accident on Old Route 30 has kept emergency personnel busy for several hours. More ice-related accidents are being reported.
The county's two advanced life support, ALS units have remained busy, requiring emergency officials to request ALS unit from York County to remain in the Gettysburg, Adams County-area to respond to medical emergency calls. The power came back on about 9:30 am, before failing about 10 minutes later. Met Ed emergency crews are out in the field dealing with numerous incidents of tree limbs and felled trees landing on utility lines causing more power outages.
Electricity failed some time before 7 am, Wednesday. Power came back on around 9:30 am, but remained on less than 15 minutes and was not restored until 2:59 p.m., Wednesday. Lindquist reported that shelters with heat and power have been set up for residents whose homes were without heat.
Met Ed, which services a large portion of York, Adams and nearby counties, has had crews out working on the problem since before dawn. A spokesman said that the company could not estimate when power would be restored to areas impacted by winter ice storm.
York and Lancaster counties were hit the hardest. Numerous downed trees and limbs are responsible for widespread power outages. Emergency service personnel across the region responded to a slurry of
accidents on area roads.

Students who live and work in Minnesota may choose to complete additional requirements to be eligible to apply for a Minnesota special education licensure in the areas of: specific learning disability (LD), emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD) and/or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also offer the opportunity for those not seeking licensure to complete only the master's degree. Students in this program must have access to K-12 classrooms to complete course activities. Options are available for both licensed educators and those seeking an initial teaching license. Licensure preparation is available for Emotional/Behavioral Disorders (EBD), Learning Disabilities (LD), and/or Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Are you already a licensed teacher looking to add an EBD, ASD, or LD license? Educators who already hold a general education teaching licensure can add preparation for LD, ASD, and/or EBD licensure.

Are you looking to obtain your first teaching license? Those who are not currently licensed can prepare for LD and/or EBD licensure by taking 18 credits of foundations coursework in addition to the special education curriculum.

The Goldman M&A Machine: Making a Buck Like No One Else
Looking through the Goldman Sachs Group earnings report, Deal Journal was struck by the performance of the Wall Street firm's M&A arm in the fiscal first quarter, which proves yet again — as if it was needed — that the company can make a buck like nobody else.
Revenue from Financial Advisory — mainly advising on mergers such as the leveraged buyout of Aramark Corp. — surged 17% to $861 million in the period ended Feb. 23. What's remarkable is that the bulging fees come despite ranking just fourth when it comes to the value of completed deals advised on, according to Thomson Financial. By contrast, Citigroup, which is in the No. 1 spot, is highly unlikely to come anywhere near that amount. In the fourth quarter, for instance, Citigroup, which hasn't reported any 2007 results yet, had advisory revenue of $383 million, less than half of what Goldman just reported.
Of course, we are curious about what accounts for the Goldman premium, but that's a question for another post.
Look for the king of Wall Street to keep on minting that cash. In today's earnings release, Goldman said its investment-banking backlog — underwriting and advisory gigs that are in the works — increased yet again.

You have tried
You are ripped up
But nothing has changed
They have told you
You will be lucky
But nothing has changed
I can't wait to set it off
And it will be the end finally
I'm gonna lie back down
And ask for nothing, nothing
I'm gonna throw it back and
Let it, let it go
Though i'm not concerned
For this how it goes
I am ill
But it does not hurt
I get up get up
But my day is ruined again
I get up get up
But the day is ruined again
You can run
But what's the point
They won't catch you
You can love
But to what to end
They won't leave you
Yesterday was awful
Today's discolored
Yesterday was awful
Today's discolored

Health Tip: Take a Walk!
But make sure you don't overdo it
Topics: Exercise: Misc Exercise: Walking
(HealthDay News) -- Walking is a great form of exercise and amusement. But the American Council on Exercise warns new walkers to start slowly and not to overdo it.
Here are the council's recommendations:
- Start out with a short walk of about five minutes. Then gradually increase your time and distance.
- Don't walk too quickly; stick to a comfortable pace.
- Practice proper posture, with your head up and shoulders relaxed.
- Allow your arms to swing naturally.
- Breathe deeply, and slow down if you can't catch your breath.
- Don't move so vigorously that you can't talk while you're walking.

Rosie O'Donnell Attempts to Give Tim Tebow STDS
Note to Tebow: Say "No" to the "Lesbo"!
Rosie O'Donnell is reportedly trying to use her unique blend of gluttonous lesbianism to lure Tim Tebow into a trap of sin and deceit, by offering to set the valiant Christian warrior and All-Universe Super Bowl MVP Quarterback Tim Tebow up with filthy voyeuristic media whore Jenny McCarthy.
McCarthy is known for having invited EVERY man in America, (blacks, homeless and gays included,) to have ravenous, unprotected sex with her when she bared her breasts and vagina in the venomous pages of Playboy magazine.
Rumors have it that Rosie O Donnell used her weighty secular advantage to physically manhandle the unsuspecting Christian quarterback into having a conversation with the modern day Bathsheba. It is unknown whether or not Tebow immediately began to vomit under the strain of this combination of grossly overweight sexually promiscuous behavior, or if he exhibited Christ-like strength (as usual) and held in his vomit for a later time.
This latest attack by the gays and homosexuals proves that they will stop at nothing to eradicate the stronghold of Christianity, in order to spread their agenda of sexually explicit rapes and drug use among the young adult population. By eliminating Tebow from the eyes of millions of youths, they can easily spread their unclean gospel of same-sex marriage/adoption and hip-hop music.
Tebow was said to have given his phone number to the whorish McCarthy, but that number was obviously for a rehabilitation center in hopes that McCarthy *AND* O'Donnnell can clean up their act and stop living their adult lifes in such a reprehensible fashion.

NewFest, New York's premiere LGBT film festival, turns 25 this year and is celebrating with an exciting roster of films. This also marks their second year of partnership with OutFest in LA, as well as with Film Society of Lincoln Center.
I've perused the list of films, using my bidar, and these are the films most likely to have bisexual content. Even if it turns out that I'm wrong about one or two, at the very least you will have seen a cool queer film. I've included the films' descriptions so you can decide which tickle your fancy. Then go to the NewFest site and get tickets: $13 for all films unless marked otherwise. All films below will be shown at the Walter Reade Theater, 165 West 65th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave.
LOVE ME NOT Sat Sept 7-1:30pm
New York Premiere.
Aggie might be in love with her roommate Dennis. They've been friends since primary school and have lived in the same Hong Kong flat for years. But here's the rub: Aggie's a lesbian and Dennis is gay. The two have never been interested in the opposite sex. But love is complicated in Gilitte Leung's dazzling Chinese romance, especially when Dennis gets wind of how Aggie feels. Suddenly, a loving relationship doesn't look so bad, even if Dennis' friends think he's losing his mind.

PIT STOP Sat Sept 7-7pm
New York Premiere. Filmmaker in person for Q&A.
The modest lives of two rugged Texans intertwine in Yen Tan's refreshingly grounded, quietly sexy Pit Stop. A 2009 Outfest Screenwriting Lab project that blossomed into a 2013 Sundance darling, Tan's yarn moves through a blue-collar town, observing the relationship between a handsome contractor named Gabe (Bill Heck) and his ex-wife Shannon (Amy Seimetz, Upstream Color) and daughter. Across town, Ernesto (Marcus DeAnda) ignores his flagging relationship with a much younger man and sits vigil at the bedside of an ailing ex. When Ernesto and Gabe meet unexpectedly one day at a local gas station, a connection forms that has the potential to alter both of their lives for good. In his touching follow-up to CIAO, writer-director Yen Tan provides an evocative glimpse into the everyday lives of two Southern men seeking love and affection over aching solitude. As far from the beaten path as its protagonists, this dreamy feature is a different kind of love story with depth, clarity, and no shortage of sexual tension. Winner of Grand Jury Award for Best Actor(s) at 2013 Outfest Los Angeles.

As the straight lead, Val, prepares to assume the Al Pacino position, he is forced to confront his own sexual boundaries and discomforts, which flare as he pushes deeper into this iconic gay interior.

Ego vs Id's Stunning Debut Album, Taste (Streaming on Lux)Posted by Lux in Album Reviews, Colorado, Favorites, Featured Bands, Indie, Songs
Ego vs Id will release their stunning debut this month, a tour de force that will no doubt put them on the map. It is hard not to fall for the band's passion and fury filled version of guitar driven rock. With bold songs about love and pain, Ego vs Id strikes the heart with a sustaining blow. The band is equally as talented as other acclaimed rock bands gaining notoriety this year including These United States, Ha Ha Tonka, and Free Energy. The door is swinging wide open.
The band formed in the foothills town of Boulder, Colorado in 2007. Robbie Stiefel (guitar, bass, vocals) and Jesse Parmet (bass, guitar, vocals) began playing together as kids while growing up in the same suburb on the outskirts of Washington DC. The two were always waiting to find just the right crew to form a band. Jesse moved to Boulder after finishing his degree at the Berklee School of Music in Boston to reunite the duo and the golden dream was finally realized. Robbie met Nate Cook (guitar, vocals) one night at 7-Eleven during Cook's stint on the graveyard shift. The next day the two played for a few hours trading songs. The band's first show was at Trilogy in Boulder just two weeks later. Nick Cobbet (drums), the final missing piece of this evolving puzzle, joined the band this summer. Brian Dillon is credited with drumming on the album.
The process of writing and recording Taste was quite cathartic for the band. The four combined their energy and emotion in an attempt to create a piece of work that gets better with each listen, inspires one to take it in in its entirety, that takes the listener on a journey. They succeeded with full marks. The band began recording the album at the Sky Trail Productions studio on a large format SSL analogue board in January 2009 and it finally now reaches our ears. Of the album's engineer and co-producer, Chris Wright, Stiefel notes, "He likes things thick but also enjoys open space. The recording console in conjunction with Chris's recording techniques account for almost 95% of why the record sounds the way it does."
The moving tracks that fill Taste simply sound good. Sunny "All American Love" is filled with shiny guitar riffs and sugary pop choruses. Witty lines like "we'll inhale work and exhale rent" pervade and promptly draw attention to the band's adeptness with words. "Lenny Bruce" is a stand out track offering stark images, gorgeous guitar intricacies, and reveals the band's electric synergy as they roll and explode into the song's closing notes. The depth of Stiefel's vocals plead you to listen and it's hard to resist that smooth tenderness and dexterity.
Taste's exquisite production, musical texture, and lyrical finesse continue to draw one in track after track. "Tennessee Honey" is filled with mysterious musings of a bad boy and the guitar riffs speak the same. "Landmine" and "Diamond" blast forward in true stadium rock form with wailing guitars awash with sex appeal. Cook and Stiefel howl like many rock gods before them have done. On "Jenny" EVI draw on the bounce of 50's rock and at moments I feel as though I'm within a Rilo Kiley tune. The slow crooner "Game I'm In" is soft, sultry, and endlessly gorgeous. The chorus stays with you long after the track ends. "Cause maybe we can't win, maybe we can't win, oh that's a hard way to live. "
EVI's debut will be released on their newly founded label, Abattoir Records, on November 16th. Says Stiefel, "We have a lot of things that we would like to do differently from others in the industry, things that most other folks in the industry seem to be getting wrong. I think the fans will notice this and appreciate it. We start by asking ourselves what we think the listener will want, what the music fan will want, and we build things from there. We're going to be breaking some rules here and I think that it's going to set a new standard for what a band along with their label can do." Taste will be available digitally via iTunes and Amazon and at several independent records stores including Albums on the Hill (Boulder) and Twist and Shout (Denver). Ego vs Id's CD Release event will be held at The Speakeasy in Boulder on Friday, November 19th. Tickets are available online through the band's site.
Ego vs Id are kings of choruses, walls of sound, and polished production. They make rock new and relevant. Get ready to watch their career progress. Ego vs Id are fully teeming with potential.

This Is As Close As You're Going To Get To Driving An F1 Car At Goodwood
As it stands, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is very much a spectator event. At least, for the main event of storming up Lord March's driveway. But what if you could do it yourself, and, in a Formula One car? Williams had the same thought, and strapped a GoPro right to the visor of the guy driving an FW13B.

In the battle of man versus food, Adam Richman definitely won. Famed for gorging on the show "Man v. Food," Adam lost 70 pounds with a combination of a low-carb diet and soccer, reported Us Weekly on Thursday.
And Adam's definitely enjoying the change in his appearance. "If you're a guy who's always been the fun-to-be-around teddy bear, then all of a sudden people are viewing you as sexy, it's nice," he told British Cosmo.
So how precisely did he achieve his extreme weight loss transformation? A combination of counting calories and restricting carbohydrates, he told Men's Health.
"I realized that I didn't need nearly as many calories as I'd grown accustomed to. I ate 100 to 200 calories every two hours or so, consumed healthy proteins (yogurt, lean meat, turkey jerky), and drank a gallon of water a day," said Adam.
Featured on his change: No white flour, no starches, he added. In addition, "to combat the monotony of gym workouts, I started playing soccer," said Adam.
For those who want to label this a Paleo diet and proclaim Adam to be a caveman cutie, not exactly. He may be cute, but Paleo plans specifically eliminate dairy on the grounds that our hunter-gatherer ancestors didn't consume it.
However, the low-carb emphasis of Adam's plan does resemble the Atkins high fat low carb ketogenic approach. It helped Kim Kardashian and Sharon Osbourne both achieve their weight loss goals.
Phase two, for example, allows for yogurt as well as healthy fats and protein, Atkins nutrition specialist Colette Heimowitz told me in an exclusive interview. She is the author of "The New Atkins Made Easy: A Faster, Simpler Way to Shed Weight and Feel Great -- Starting Today."
Because it allows for dairy and some processed foods that are low in carbohydrates, Colette added that she feels the Atkins low carb diet is easier to follow than the Paleo plan. It also accelerates weight loss through nutritional ketosis.
To those who question whether Adam can engage in high intensity sports such as soccer without grains, low carb high fat ketogenic diet expert Dr. Stephen Phinney told me that his studies point to an affirmative. In an exclusive interview, Dr. Phinney referred to the idea that carb-loading is necessary for athletes as a myth.
Author of "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable," Dr. Phinney revealed that "the concept that humans 'need a certain amount of dietary carbs for proper function of the body' has no basis in science. It is a myth perpetuated by the USDA and the dietetic establishment."
Seeking examples of athletic performance on a high fat low carb diet? Four of the top six men and women at last year's Western States Endurance Run (100 miles on mountain trails from Lake Tahoe to Auburn) followed low-carb diets. Moreover, earlier this year at age 36, low carb dieter and bronze medalist winner Bode Miller became the oldest Olympic skiing medalist.
Adam also used running as a way to shed pounds and keep them off, he told Men's Health. He admits it wasn't always easy when it came to the food element of his lifestyle change.
"Was it tough when the crew was eating pizza while I had almonds and yogurt? Yeah. But because of that momentary sacrifice, I went from an XXL to an L in 10 months," he added proudly.
And Dr. Phinney says that it gets easier to adjust to the high fat low carb lifestyle. Also the author of "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance," he noted that both he and his collaborator Dr. Jeff Volek have followed ketogenic diets for years and benefited from the boost in energy levels and overall health that has resulted.

NASA Scientists are now saying that a couple years ago a massive solar flare passed by the Earth so close that, if the timing had been more spot-on, it would have disrupted and knocked out most communications systems on the planet, not to mention doing the same for many electronic gadgets and machines. This was in 2012. And if the solar superstorm had hit Earth, there would have been quite a few of those doomsday prepper people saying things like: "I told you so."
Agence France-Presse reported (via Yahoo News) July 24 that on July 23, 2012, a solar storm rolled past Earth in a near-miss that would have been large enough to "knock modern civilization back to the 18th century," according to NASA. That solar storm, scientists said, was the most powerful in 150 years.
Back in 2012, when everybody was reading stories and talking about the impending Mayan Apocalypse, there were a few doomsday accepters who just knew that the Sun was about to fire off gigantic -- or perhaps a series of -- coronal mass ejections, otherwise known as the phenomena commonly referred to as solar flares. The electromagnetic energy shot out from these flares would most likely destroy sources of power around the world, crippling the world's ability to generate electricity.
But most didn't know that the Sun was in its most violent phase of a continuous cycle that repeats itself every 11 years on average. The phase is known as "Solar Maximum." The Earth is currently in Solar Cycle 24, which began in 2008.
Even those that did know and understand the workings of the Sun were just as oblivious to the solar flare that swept past the Earth that July.
Daniel Baker, who is a professor of atmospheric and space physics at the University of Colorado, noted: "If the eruption had occurred only one week earlier, Earth would have been in the line of fire." In fact, if it had hit, the world "would still be picking up the pieces," he said, according to the NASA website.
The solar storm hit STEREO-A, a solar observatory designed to observe, among other things, solar phenomena. The 2012 solar storm gifted NASA with enormous amounts of data. And that data were somewhat alarming.
The solar storm that washed over STEREO-A, scientists concluded, would have been worse than the Carrington Event.
For those not in the know, the Carrington Event -- until now -- was the largest solar storm event on record. It was the name given the solar superstorm that bombarded the Earth and knocked out all power in the Canadian province of Quebec in 1859.
"I have come away from our recent studies more convinced than ever that Earth and its inhabitants were incredibly fortunate that the 2012 eruption happened when it did," said Baker.
The economic impact of a solar storm like the Carrington Event could cost the modern economy more than two trillion dollars and cause damage that might take years to repair, according to the National Academy of Sciences (per AFP). But NASA noted that the 2012 event was twice as powerful. And the power-dependent infrastructure of the planet is far more extensive than it was in 1859.
It is the stuff of bad horror movies and the fear of many a doomsday prepper, the knocking out of "The Grid," or the world's power sources. Not only that, but the charged electrons and protons that follow a mass coronal ejection (or solar flare) have the ability to fry the electrical systems of satellites and other mechanical outliers in space, an occurrence that could conceivable shut down long-distance communications. A direct hit by a solar storm could very well cause extensive blackouts that impact any number of infrastructural systems, from guidance systems and radios. Water systems could even be affected, given that many of them run on electric pumps.
Most of the time the Earth is protected against most solar winds by the magnetic belts that surround the planet. But giant solar flares and their subsequent storms have the potential to overwhelm the protective fields.
Physicist Pete Riley published a paper in the journal Space Weather earlier this year on the topic of solar storms, and he found that there was a 12 percent chance that a Carrington Event-sized solar superstorm could hit the Earth with the next decade.
Still, to show that the universe seems to always be seeking some sort of balance, it was noted by astronomers last year that the Sun's space-weather cycle was at its least energetic in a century, according to Space.com. Even though the Sun was at solar maximum, it was being rather subdued. And like the near-miss from the solar superstorm, a rather subdued Sun is a good thing for those of us on planet Earth.

Quote #1
Cotton and gulls in the half-light and the way she'd [Janice would] come on the other girl's bed, never as good as their own. (1.134)
It would be interesting to know if Janice feels this way, too.
Quote #2
So that when it was over he was hurt to learn, from the creases of completion at the sides of her and the hard way she wouldn't keep lying beside him but got up and sat on the edge of the metal-frame bed looking out the dark window at the green night sky of Texas, that she faked her half. (1.167)
Does it make Rabbit more sympathetic that he cares about the prostitute's orgasm? Or is this just more of his competitive spirit?
Quote #3
"I had forgotten," she says.
"Forgotten what?"
"That I could have it too."
"What's it like?"
"Oh. It's like falling through."
"Where do you fall to?"
"Nowhere. I can't talk about it." (3.120-126)
This passage suggests that men and women experience orgasm very differently. It's possible that if Ruth had been able to go on, they would have found their experience similar, or not. It would have been an interesting conversation anyway. Too bad Ruth was embarrassed.

African Abolition Struggles and Opposition Movements
Resistance during the Middle Passage
Resistance on Plantations
Runaways and Maroon Wars, 1600-1800
The Haitian Revolution
European and American Anti-Slavery Movements
Across the Atlantic World, there were always individuals or groups who publicly expressed their opposition to the Transatlantic Slave Trade. However, the most intense opposition was by enslaved Africans themselves and their resistance, together with abolitionists across Europe and the United States, was eventually enough to bring the trade to an end. Acts of resistance took place at every stage of African enslavement, from the struggles in Africa at the Coast, to the rebellions during the Middle Passage and the escapes or uprisings at the end of the voyage in the Americas or the Caribbean. European opposition to slavery developed slowly, the serious political campaign beginning in the late 1700s. For a long time profitability of the trade outweighed moral considerations. But eventually economics could no longer justify this inhuman trade, African resistance was making it less profitable and so it was brought to an end, at different times across Europe. So Europe's opposition and final passing of abolition laws was important, but only within the context of a wider campaign against the trade.
