1) Why did you choose Daemen's Masters program and the Thomas Reynolds Center graduate assistantship?
I chose Daemen's Masters program because of the small campus environment. In this environment I am able to build more personal relationships with my professors because of their ability to devote more time and attention to a smaller group of students. In addition, I chose to become a graduate assistant at the Thomas Reynolds Center because of the incredible experience it has provided me to set up and manage my own classroom of students. This graduate assistantship not only allows me to gain experience, but provides me with the opportunity to apply what I learn in my graduate classes directly to my classroom of third grade students.
2) Would you recommend Daemen's Masters program and the Thomas Reynolds Center graduate assistantships to other students?
I would 100% recommend Daemen's Masters program and the Thomas Reynolds Center graduate assistantship to other students. Daemen College is the only school in New York that provides graduate students with the opportunity to set up and manage their own classroom of students while attending graduate school. As a graduate assistant, you have the opportunity to collaborate with other graduate students, as well as, Daemen College professors, and staff members who are professionals in the field. Working with these professionals gives you the opportunity to establish effective teaching techniques and strategies that work best in the classroom.
3) How is the Thomas Reynolds Center preparing you for your teaching career?
The Thomas Reynolds Center is preparing me for my teaching career by providing on-going professional development trainings called Academy Coordinator meetings. These meetings are facilitated by Daemen College professors who provide us with teaching strategies to use with our students. In addition, I am becoming more prepared than ever by managing my own classroom of five 3rd grade students. As a teacher in my own classroom I have the opportunity to create my own classroom from start to finish. I created my own classroom theme, classroom management plans, and develop lesson plans in Math and ELA for each day. These are some of the things that only first year teachers have the opportunity to do, but I am doing it as a graduate student.

"Psychic Detectives"
One feature of Court TV is its heavily promoted three-hour "Saturday Night Solution" theme programming from 8 to 11:00 p.m. Eastern. The topic on Saturday, September 6, was "Psychic Detectives."
The first two hours were simply episodes of Forensic Files and Body of Evidence that dealt with the solution to mysterious crimes but were not specifically related to psychic detectives. Immediately preceding the commercials, the evening's hosts, Kristen Eykel and Dave Holmes, would occasionally chat for a moment to tie in the programming with that night's theme.
The show from 10-11 p.m. did deal with the evening's topic, and was called Psychic Detectives. The program had actually first been broadcast earlier in the year (I had taped it on February 27) and had aired again just two days before the September 6 "Saturday Night Solution" theme night. Hosted by former NYPD Blue star Andrea Thompson (who later did a stint with CNN Headline News before joining Court TV), the show was an hour of pro-psychic stories unworthy of comment in these pages (other than, perhaps, to note the credulous nature of those police officers and detectives featured).
However, when Psychic Detectives was re-aired on September 6, one of the brief "Saturday Night Solution" theme-chats was about Noreen Renier:
Kristen: Renowned psychic detective Noreen Renier has been credited for solving many baffling mysteries. But she is best known for predicting the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan.
In my chapter on Renier in Psychic Sleuths: ESP and Sensational Cases, I cover the above incidents in almost the same wording. I strongly suspect that Court TV gleaned these anecdotes from my chapter, for they are well aware of the book, and the chapter specifically (more on that later). The Court TV website also contains the transcript of an interactive online "chat" with Noreen Renier, which took place sometime in 1999. Though her Reagan prediction was discussed, there is no mention of Anwar Sadat.
Had our TV hosts also mentioned what appears two pages later in my chapter, viewers would have been informed that Renier had previously predicted Jimmy Carter's reelection in 1980 (Reagan defeated Carter in a 44-state landslide), and Carter's subsequent assassination on the White House lawn. She had added for good measure that Carter's vice president, Walter Mondale, would commit suicide. But clueing in their viewers to the broader context would have risked providing a genuine "Saturday Night Solution" to the so-called mystery of "psychic detectives."
During some of their other chats, Kristen and Dave referred their viewers to that week's Court TV "saturdaynightsolution.com" web page. The page contained a link to this brief summary of the Psychic Detectives program:
Psychic Detectives
And that page contained a link to Court TV's "Crime Library" coverage of "Psychic Detectives."
As mentioned earlier, Court TV is well aware of my chapter on Noreen Renier in Psychic Sleuths. Chapters 7 and 11 of this "Crime Library" article deal with "skeptics" and contain references to the book. There's even a photo of me, and I am quoted in both chapters, as is Psychic Sleuths editor Joe Nickell.
Oooh. I just got spooky little chills myself, imagining the good that television could do if only there was money in "doing the right thing." But I suppose we can take solace in the fact that Court TV appears as devoted to truth-seeking as are the nation's courtrooms.
CHAIRMAN'S CORNERBy Terry A. Smiljanich
"All men are Socrates (or something like that)"
A. All men are mortal.
I was reminded of this bit of twisted syllogism from Woody Allen while thinking about the relationship of skepticism and humanism. The leading humanist organization, the Center for Inquiry -- International, currently has two major subdivisions: CSICOP, which deals with skeptical inquiry of paranormal claims, and the Council for Secular Humanism, which promotes secular values and rights of the non-religious. If you are a secular humanist, are you necessarily a skeptic? If you are a skeptic, are you necessarily a secular humanist?
The Council for Secular Humanism lists among its tenets the application of reason and science to the understanding of the universe, and skepticism regarding untested claims to knowledge. These principles are surely the hallmarks of rational skepticism. In addition, however, secular humanists make claims regarding justice, fairness in society, moral excellence, and promotion of an open and pluralistic democracy for all. Thus, the two divisions of the Center for Inquiry epitomize this twofold aspect of humanism: 1) a concern for the proper evaluation of claims and theories about the physical world; and 2) a concern for the cultivation of appropriate moral principles about the human world, separate and apart from any religious or theological source.
From this, we can properly deduce that all secular humanists are, or should be, skeptics. A proper disdain for the supernatural is part and parcel of the makeup of a secular humanist. But what about the skeptic? Can a person call oneself a skeptic if he/she accepts supernatural explanations about anything? For example, can a skeptic still believe in the miracle of Lourdes and the magical healing powers of its waters?
In my view, a person who accepts supernatural explanations for the natural world cannot call oneself a true skeptic in the complete sense of the word. The two ideas are mutually exclusive. Yet it seems logical to me that one can be completely skeptical about claims of the physical world, while refusing to accept all of the secular humanists' claims about the moral universe. So, in that sense, all secular humanists are skeptics, but not all skeptics are secular humanists.
But some argue that unless one has no religious beliefs, one cannot call oneself a skeptic, since such a person perforce must accept supernatural claims of some sort involving supernatural beings. This raises for me a more difficult question. As a few past columns have made clear, I do not count myself as an atheist or true agnostic. I don't have the space here to engage in a complete description of my beliefs (admittedly vague though they are). Suffice it to say that although I do not believe in a "Heavenly Father," angels, miracles, or Hell, I do believe in transcendent universal truths, not dependant on human invention. Concepts such as justice, love and mathematical truths are not human inventions, but have a pre-existing content.
From the above, I deduce (for mostly emotional rather than strictly logical reasons) a deism that cannot be classified as secular humanism. Thus, though I am a skeptic, I don't believe that my skepticism requires me to be a secular humanist (although I share many of its precepts).
I take comfort in the fact that I am not alone in these beliefs. Skeptic par excellence Martin Gardner would, I think, agree with me. Likewise, celebrity skeptic Steve Allen shared similar views. Both were skeptics who "believed in God."
Thus, we can conclude:
A. All secular humanists are skeptics.
Or something like that.
The truth about UFOs is out there -- in Stockholm. Astronomer and photographer Tom Callen is curator of a display at the Swedish Museum of Natural History called "UFO: The Truth is Here." Explained Callen, "The goal is to help people understand that most so-called UFO sightings were merely nothing more than misidentified astronomical, or manmade, objects. People have become so unfamiliar with the night sky that anything peculiar becomes something other than it really is." Cullen has also crafted UFO models and taken photographs of them to illustrate how easily people can be fooled by hoax photos. "We live in an age where critical thinking [should be] a requirement, not an option."
Despite the best efforts of a fertility specialist, Tampa software engineer Mary Hansen was still unable to conceive -- until she met Dr. Jian Zhong Xue. Formerly a surgeon in China and now practicing traditional Chinese medicine in Tampa, Xue prescribed a sour/bitter concoction of herbs to be ingested three times daily. Four months later, Hansen was pregnant! A miracle? No, pure science. During each visit Xue had examined her tongue and altered the herbal mixture accordingly. "He helps you balance your body," explained Hansen. A few skeptics were also interviewed for the article, including Dr. Sandy Goodman of the Reproductive Medicine Group and Dr. Steven Zeitzew, Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery at West Los Angeles V.A. Healthcare Center.
Jennifer Huffman is an environmental scientist who majored in biology. Hubby Jerry is a former deep-sea diver who
participated in oil spill clean-ups. Neither would seem to be the typical crystal freak. But the couple has now opened
Crystal Freqs, a New Age shop in Plant City specializing in wares with alleged healing properties. Jerry's epiphany came
when he visited an American Indian burial site. Describing a gnarled tree, he said, "You can picture elves running along
the branches.
George George died died on June 23. His main claim to fame -- which included a bird's-eye photo in Newsweek of his restaurant's roof -- was not his double name, but the greeting that he had painted on the roof in August 1952: "Coffee Free. Welcome Saucers." Indeed, his Charcoal House restaurant, which was located near Al Lang Field in St. Petersburg, was hailed as the world's first UFO welcome station and landing site. But according to son Rick, his father didn't really believe in flying saucers. The sign was just a publicity stunt, and an effective one.
Terry Smiljanich was one of Kathy Fountain's three guests on Ch. 13's Your Turn on October 17. The topic was Tribulation and End Times, which would be further debated that weekend at a seminar by the two other guests: Thomas Ice (Executive Director of the Pre-Trib Research Center and a confederate of Tim LaHaye) and the Rev. Samuel Frost (Christ Covenant Church).
That same day, the John Walsh Show taped a program on "Psychic Phenomena: An Inside Look," to air on
October 24. Both Noreen Renier and Gary Posner
were contacted for possible appearances (just imagine the drama of that confrontation!), as was CSICOP's Joe Nickell
(in the event Gary couldn't make it). However, to avoid the airfares to New York City, the show decided instead, as its
website announced that week, to "spend a fascinating hour with Dougall Fraser --— a 26-year-old clairvoyant
John Walsh, of all people, ought to know better. After all, if "psychic" power was genuine, his other TV program, America's Most Wanted, would be unnecessary -- the nation's legion of "psychic detectives" could take care of locating the fugitives, including the murderer (still unidentified) of his own son. As Posner told Walsh's producer, rather than "budgetary" concerns, he suspects that they cynically opted to titillate rather than ""educate your viewers about the true nature of 'psychic' [phenomena]."
But Posner had been quoted (sort of) in Leonora LaPeter's October 5 St. Petersburg Times article on "firewalking". As is the rule, rather than the exception, for newspaper reporters, Posner's "quote" was a loose approximation rather than verbatim. One example was her substitution of "psychiatrist" for "psychologist."
Beyond that one "quote," Posner had also explained to Ms. LaPeter the physics of firewalking. Rather than reporting that "The explanation for why firewalkers rarely burn their feet is less clear," and that the podiatrists she contacted "had no medical explanation," she could have really quoted from Posner's interview. Though not credited, it was he who explained to her about the "ash" and that "wetting" the feet helps, as well as the importance of other factors such as the length of the walk, the temperature of the coals, and the speed of the walk, and used the analogy of touching a cake baking in the oven to explain heat conduction. TBS member/consultant Alan Soli's excellent Letter to the Editor explaining much of the above appeared in the Oct. 13 Times.

Every couple of months, the Lawrence Humane Society has a little gathering called the Mutt Mixer. It is where people can come to bring their dogs and they get to hang around in the huge exercise pens with other dogs. The mixing part is the dogs with homes and their people get to meet dogs up for adoption. It's a great socializing activity that Maya loves. I like it too, but I mostly hang out outside of the fenced area at a small table where I have the dog seat belts. I still get to socialize, though! 🙂 Here are some of the photos from the event last Thrusday (the 26th).
These other photos are from the same event held in May.
We didn't make it to the one in July. View our posts from the end of July to see why.
Do you have any fun events for dogs in your neighborhood?
There are more fun pet photos on the Wordless Wednesday blog hop below:

College for Creative Studies
College for Creative Studies offers Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in 12 majors and Master of Fine Arts degrees in two areas.
The College for Creative Studies (CCS) is one of the nation's leading art education institutions, providing a dynamic learning environment where students explore issues of art and design, while preparing for careers in the professional world. The College enrolls nearly 1,400 students seeking Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in 12 majors and Master of Fine Arts degrees in Design and Transportation Design. CCS also offers non-credit courses in the visual arts through its Continuing Education programs and annually provides more than 4,000 Detroit youth with art and design education through Community Arts Partnerships programs. The College has approximately 250 faculty members who are professionals in their individual fields and bring diverse backgrounds and experience to the classroom.
The CCS campus is made up of two sites, the Walter and Josephine Ford Campus and the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education, located in Detroit's Cultural Center and New Center areas, respectively. The Taubman Center houses the Advertising Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design, Product Design and Transportation Design undergraduate departments as well as the Graduate programs in Design and Transportation Design. The building also houses the Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies and the College's Community Arts Partnerships and Continuing Education programs. The Ford Campus houses the Art Education, Crafts, Entertainment Arts, Fine Arts, Foundation, Liberal Arts and Illustration undergraduate departments as well as many student services.
The school can trace its beginnings back to 1906 when a group of local civic leaders founded the Society of Arts and Crafts. In 1926, the Society became one of the first Arts and Crafts organizations in America to offer an educational program in the arts. The Society moved to its current location in Detroit's Cultural Center in 1958. Four years later, the Michigan Department of Education authorized the granting of a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Industrial Design and the school officially became a college. The Society changed its name to the Center for Creative Studies-College of Art and Design in 1975. In 2001, CCS changed its name to the College for Creative Studies to better reflect what the College does – educate talented students to become artists, designers and leaders in their fields.
Today, CCS is recognized as a world leader in art and design education, preparing students to enter the new, global economy where creativity shapes better communities and societies.

The Secret Truth About The 9-11 Attacks
Video Investigations Point To Cover-Up and Insider Participation
The American people should demand a new investigation of the events of the devastating attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Here's a few free on-line videos to get started on a "trek to the truth."
9/11 Myth and Reality – David Ray Griffin
9/11 Explosive Evidence – The Experts Speak Out.
A Message to the American People by Danish Journalist Tommy Hansen
Loose Change – An American Coup
9/11 Mysteries: The Demolitions
9/11 Ripple Effect – Dave Von Kleist and William Lewis
9/11 And Other Mysteries – Jim Marrs
9/11 In Plane Site (Director's Cut) – Dave Von Kleist and William Lewis
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth
There's much, much more on this subject. Videos and reports that "follow the money" that has been totally covered up. Millions made by "unidentified" parties who "shorted" stocks of the airlines just before 9/11. There's Dan Hopsicker's investigation into the alleged hijackers romp through Florida, hauling gold out of the country, living with a pink-haired stripper, etc. (Hey, we thought they were Muslim fanatics?) trying to learn to fly small planes at very strange flight schools. And then there's the phony "colleges" on the West Coast used to get some of the "hijackers" into the country. The phony schools run by a multi-millionaire with possible CIA/Air Force connections; The muzzled FBI agents who were told to not look into the computer laptop of one of the suspects; The Pentagon scandal – explosives went off inside the building before the planes hit; the team of accountants tracking the missing 2.1 Trillion Dollars blown up inside the building; the so-called anthrax attack that shut down the government right after 9/11. It was a big operation, folks, the biggest false-flag to ever be perpetrated to push a country into continuous wars and use as an excuse to put in a spy culture around the world.
KPFK Dumps "Democracy Now" From Prime Hour
World-Class Anti-War Show Gone From 9a.m. Slot
by Ed Murray
The veil of "Shadow Censorship", like that of Twitter, has even taken hold in the premier Pacifica Radio line up at Anti-War station KPFK in Los Angeles. The station's premier program on both foreign policy and progressive national issues has been removed from its 9 a.m. weekly spot. It can only be heard if you get up really early, at 6 a.m.
Amy Goodman has been the main framework of the KPFK line-up for many years. It could be argued that her show, "Democracy Now", has gone a long way to keep KPFK afloat. Her show is one of most popular progressive shows in the country. Not only does this weaken the prime 9 a.m. broadcast hour, but it will hit KPFK's bottom line, as Amy Goodman is one of the best "pitch" persons at KPFK, bringing in untold thousands of dollars to support the station over the years. In addition, Goodman makes appearances in Los Angeles as KPFK sponsored events, bringing the station even more publicity and funding.
What is strange about this is that no notice was given to the listeners. No vote was taken as far as can be determined. Evidently the Program Director made the decision by himself.
Shadow Banning. This is a method used by the large social media platforms to remove programs and individuals from the platforms without anybody knowing what is really going on. The person or program is still there, it just can't be seen by anybody else. Twitter just admitted to "hiding" over 600,000 individual accounts. This is pure and simple corporate censorship. By "hiding" Goodman's program at 6 a.m., before most folks are even awake in the morning, they are exercising a form of "shadow censorship". Her former 9a.m. time slot was in the key morning time that folks flip on their radios.
Anti-War activist Frank Dorrel has put out a statement on this sudden removal of Democracy Now:
I am totally against this change. If Democracy Now underperforms during a fund drive at the 9:00 AM time-slot, I would think it is because more often than not, you cut away from the show to have Christine offering some other product not associated with Amy Goodman. In my humble opinion, Democracy Now is by far the most important show on KPFK. Tom Hartman is no Amy Goodman, not at all. Not even close. He's OK and I think his program deserves being on the station. I can't believe you are making this change. So now Democracy Now will only be on KPFK at 6:00 AM. I would think this move will end up with less people listening to KPFK then before. Just one man's opinion. I have been listening to KPFK since 1980. This is the station where I learned all about U.S. foreign policy, hence my film: "What I've Learned About US Foreign Policy"- www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdMWOjYuYwk&t=183s – which Amy promoted along with the anti-war book I publish & distribute: ADDICTED To WAR – during a fund drive many years ago and received over 100 orders at $200 per order. She did this with Jerry Quickly. I still get many orders for ADDICTED To WAR. I have distributed close to 240,000 copies since 2002.his.
This move comes after Pacifica station in Berkeley KPFA has removed another popular program, Guns and Butter. They also purged the 17 years of archives for the show at the same time without notice. This show also dealt with controversial topics. The question is why Pacifica stations are going down the censorship road, "shadow banning" and outright removal of controversial, but popular programs. Is Pacifica turning into another corporate authoritarian platform, removing the most controversial programs? YouTube hired 10,000 censors to "police" and remove controversial videos. Facebook has been caught censoring, as well as google. In the last few years, around a billion pages, platforms, and individuals have been removed from social media. This is the worst attack on Free Speech in the history of mankind. A shame that the so-called free speech radio stations at Pacifica are going down the same path.
Youtube Rampage of Censorship
Youtube Hires 10,000 Censors To Purge Alternative News Channels
Google/youtube has hired an army of "invisible" censors to purge information and videos that are at odds with the elite establishment and the military-industrial complex. This army of 10,000 purge agents is also in the process of training robotic Artificial Intelligence software programs so that the censorship can be multiplied by a factor of four or more.
This has come in a period when Americans are watching more and more videos, rather than reading news reports. Video has become a powerful tool to expose war crimes, political dirty tricks, fraud, and government misconduct. The explosion of video and the internet has led to many diverse folks to start their own channels because they are fed-up with the so-called mainstream news setting the agenda and ignoring important issues.
This censorship benefits only the current elite and the huge military-industrial-pharma complex, who are losing their ability to propagandize and pull the wool over the eyes of the average American. The government has lied to the American people for years about many things, foreign wars being one the biggest and continuous lies. Alternative news channels have sprung up to show videos and first hand reports of the slaughter of innocent civilians around the world by these military operations. These videos are now being taken down from youtube. The government does not want you to see the horrific damage in countries like Syria and Yemen. Seeing human rights violations and the killing of thousands of innocent women and children is something the neo-con war boys do not want you to see.
This massive purge of truth crosses to all areas of the political spectrum, from progressive and anti-war sites to Ron Paul Libertarian videos, to independent investigators to alt-right. Here is a snip from the website of the World Socialist Website, for instance:
YouTube began removing photographic and video documentation of war crimes in Syria in August, terminating some 180 accounts and removing countless videos from other channels, including footage uploaded by Airwars of coalition air raids that have killed civilians, according to Hadi al-Khatib, the founder of Syrian Archive. YouTube later stated that it would work to "quickly reinstate" any videos and channels that it "removed mistakenly."
In November, YouTube removed over 51,000 videos concerning Anwar al-Awlaki, the Yemeni-American imam who was assassinated via missile raid by the Obama administration on September 30, 2011. Awlaki was never charged with, let alone convicted of any crime. The mass removal was praised by the New York Times, one of the largest mouthpieces of the American ruling elite, as a "watershed moment."

The Goal of the Purge is to Eliminate Both the Progressive Left and the Alt Right From The Political Landscape
Susan Wojcicki, CEO of youtube, and the leader of the secret 10,000 censors, is shown in the above photo at the elitist World Economic Forum. This secretive group of elites hate being exposed for their attempted control of the world and its resources. Did Wojcicki get her marching orders from the WEF?
The Political Purge was started in the late summer of last year. We know that tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands off videos have been purged and banned. We know that hundreds of youtube channels are gone, wiped out overnight without a trace. We know that de-monitization of videos on many sites has caused great financial distress to youtube creators who are working full-time on their projects. In addition, since last August, a sinister youtube program run by AI software has placed untold thousands of videos in a Video Stasis, or "Limited State". These videos are not searched by google, are removed from the youtube owners playlist, and are placed in a "Stasis" somewhere on the web where nobody can possibly find them. This operation sounds like some strange science fiction story. It is so insane that it is unimaginable, but shows the lengths that these authoritarian elites will go to shut down any truth.
It is imperative that folks protest this outrage. It is time for the U.S. Government to seize google entirely as a monopoly. Youtube should be separated and run as a government sponsored social media platform, dedicated to all free speech.
Researcher Claims Military Weaponizing Space
The Secret Space Program, Chemtrails, and the Space Fence
A hard science researcher, Elana Freeland, in a startling revelation last week, claimed that the U.S. Military is weaponizing space and has secret programs to build "space fences" to protect our satellites and "kill" other satellites belonging to other nations. In addition, the military-industrial companies are using pulse weapons and many other secret operations to gain "full spectrum dominance" over not just the earth, but the space area around planet earth.
This has serious implications, leading to another round of military adventures with many nations gearing up for a "war" in space that could have very serious consequences to those of us living on the planet. Ms. Freeland also shared her research on the so-called "Chemtrail" controversy, leaving little doubt that there is a secret program conducted by the U.S. and its allies to use "aerial spraying" for various nefarious plans and experimentation on the population.

Milo Breaks the Barrier at Berkeley With Surprise Attack
Milo Crashes the Berkeley Boycott -Communists and Antifa Go Mad With Baby Chanting
Watch the video:
Watch as morons chant about the KKK. A sad moment for these folks, who can't tell the difference between a libertarian like Milo, and the phantom "Klansmen", who only exist in the dark, scary fantasy of their own minds, certainly not anyone seen around Berkeley. The other mantra, calling everyone who is not a communist or antifa dressed in a black ninja gangster outfit with their faces covered, a "fascist", also shows the shallow political knowledge of the protesters. The libertarians, as represented by Milo in this case, are probably the political faction that is most opposed to "fascism" and it's philosophy.
The video shows the chanting collectivist goof-balls displaying their pathetic political wares for the world to see. Milo invited one of them to have a conversation with him, but only chants came forth, like a berserk energizer bunny.
Around the world people love to have a chance to debate political and social issues, at least in countries where they are allowed to have free speech. In America, sadly, the intellect of the left has plateaued at baby chanting. And the bastions of free speech, the universities of "higher learning", cannot make the effort to encourage and protect free speech, the basis for American politics and culture. Dark days for all loom ahead. Including for the baby chanters.
Free Speech Cancelled in Berkeley, CA
U.C. Berkeley, Home of the Free Speech Movement has Cancelled Free Speech Week
University Bows To Antifa and Revolutionary Communist Party.
In a recent radio interview, a spokeswoman for the Revolutionary Communist Party explained their position. They are against Free Speech for "Fascists". Who are the "Fascists"? Basically, almost anyone who is not a communist is a "Fascist". Hence, only communists should have Free Speech.

In addition, a faculty professor was interviewed on another radio station and said there should be no Free Speech for Milo Yiannopoulos because it creates a "security problem", and "security" is much more important than the "idea" of Free Speech. Besides, he lamented, he would have to walk to his class through police lines and show his I.D. Boo Hoo. What an inconvenience. And what is his salary teaching at Berkeley?
The Berkeley Police Hot Dog Vendor Milo Yiannopoulos Riot Revenge
Berkeley Cops Hid Like Cowards From Antifa Thugs But Now They're Back Kickin' Butt on Mexican Hot Dog Vendors
On February 2nd the headlines screamed that 150 Antifa thugs and 100's of students had caused over $100,000 damage to the campus to prevent Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking. So where were all the brave Berkeley cops when this was going on? The Donut Shop? Starbucks? The Chief, Margo Bennett was nowhere to be seen defending Milo's free speech from a gang of rampaging rioters.
Fast forward to September, 2017. Berkeley cops accost a hot dog vendor, a poor slob trying to make a couple bucks. No permit to sell dogs, so they give him a ticket, AND TAKE ALL THE MONEY OUT OF HIS WALLET! What Proof does the cop have of where the money came from? None. But where were these cops when Milo needed help? Maybe harassing other hot dog vendors. Hey, it's safer than confronting real criminals doing over $100,000 damage to the campus.

Motorcycle Split in Half in Burbank Collision
A Collision Between a VW and a Motorcycle Sends Rider to Hospital
A crazy crash on Thursday, July 13, 2007 at the intersection of San Fernando Blvd. and Alameda resulted in a motorcycle being split in half. Whose fault and what happened could not be determined at the scene, but photos taken may offer clues. The bike rider was still alive, carried away by Fire Department rescue. The intersection is on the border of Burbank and Glendale and is the scene of many crashes, many caused by young males speeding west down Alameda and attempting to run the light at San Fernando.

fantastic service and product Review by C Cookson
- I was looking for something a little special for a friend's 40th birthday. A quaich would be the perfect gift. I was a little apprehensive about ordering online especially as I was requiring engraving but I really could not be any happier with the product. It is exactly as it looks in the picture and the engraving is just how I imagined it to be. You followed my instructions regarding placement and size of engraving and I was mighty surprised when it was delivered less than 48 hrs after placing the order. I highly recommend you. Thank you so much. (Posted on 13/04/2015)

Primary Care Quality Initiative
It is a sad fact that for many of our more vulnerable patients, an unplanned visit to A&E is not an end to the matter and many return more than once before their health is restored. In some cases, particularly for the elderly, this can signal deterioration in general health which can prove difficult to address. However, earlier diagnosis of conditions, better communication between health professionals and focused support for those affected can reduce the need to visit the hospital and in many instances remove it all together.
Your local GP practices have teamed up to consider how this can be achieved and the Primary Care Quality Initiative prepares the ground ahead of more detailed plans being introduced throughout 2014. The following initiatives are being considered:
- Named GPs: For those patients that require a greater level of care, they will be allocated a 'named doctor'. This will not restrict who they can see but it will provide that extra bit of support and reassurance where needed.
- Improved Communication: Although your GP is usually the first point of contact, they are of course supported by a host of clinicians including nurses, hospitals, nursing homes, ambulance services and specialists, mostly not based The Heath and South Park Surgeries. We have considered how we might improve communication to ensure a more joined up approach to patient healthcare.
- Identifying those in need: All of us will be unwell from time to time but for some, poor health is a constant challenge, many patients facing a range of conditions at the same time. It is difficult to be precise but it is a fact that some of our patients need to visit hospital on a more regular basis. In some cases, this is obvious but we are also keen to identify those patients where the risk of this seems high. Prevention is generally better than cure as they say!
- Feedback: I hope you will agree that we put a fair deal of effort into our annual survey but many have commented that we should seek feedback on an on-going basis, at the point of contact. 'Would you recommend The Heath and South Park Surgeries to your friends and family?' was an excellent addition to this year's survey, suggested by a patient and this will be asked more frequently. We will also use this opportunity to ask a second question "Are you aware you can order prescriptions online and where available book appointments" as this year's survey highlighted a higher than expected number of patients were unaware of this service and we plan to promote this more widely over the next few months.
Over the past couple of months, GPs and staff have met to consider the above. The Heath and South Park GPs had already met twice to consider the issue ahead of a meeting with nine other local practices on Tuesday 18th February.
As mentioned above, the recent work has centred on preparation but I hope this further demonstrates our efforts to improve care and service to patients, in this instance, particularly the most vulnerable.

About 20 years Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan conduct dispute on "Kapaz" gas field. Turkmenistan side puts claim on gas field. But Azerbaijan side strongly insists that "Kapaz" in the internal territory of country. Also turkmenian experts were named this gas field "Sardar".
The gas field was found on Soviet period (1989), but another source show 1959. At first gas field was announced as a neutral because it was in the center of Caspian Sea. After Collapse of USSR, former Soviet countries had to solve the jurisdiction problem of Caspian sea,which has not solve yet. The main argues Azerbaijani-Turkmeni relations started around the most richest oil fields "Khazar" (Azeri) , "Osman" (Chirag), "Sardar" (Kapaz). Baku according to the soviet maps during it's exploition of the oil fields. Turkmenistan demands from Azerbaijan to use an international law practice.
Stocks of "Sardar", in opinion of experts is 50 to 100 million tons of oil and 32 billion cubic meter of gas. When the Russian oil company LUKOil has signed co-operation contract in 1997 about "Sardar" gas field , Azerbaijan gave an official protest. After this incident LukOil and RosNeft banned this project. In 2005 Canadian oil company "Buried Hill Energy" has signed new contract to exploit "Kapaz" but after official meetings with SOCAR, company "postpone" project date.
In 2001, Ashgabad has closed his embassy in Baku. Bilateral relations became very dangerous. Azerbaijan former President Heydar Aliyev in a Caspian Sea summit, told about new gas field "Kapaz" and it's positive opportunities for country economy. After this speech Turkmenian former president Saparmurad Niyazov made a citation that "H.Aliyev's speech "smells as a blood in Caspian Sea".
In new turkmenian President Qurbangolu Berdimohamed, relations became much more warm. In 2008 problem of "turkmenian duty" was solved, in may President Mohamed made an official visit to Baku. Both of presidents determined to stop exploition works in the field – till the status of Caspian Sea will solve.
But,suddenly in 2009 Turkmenia demands indermnity for oil fields (Azeri,Chiragly) exploited by Azerbaijan. President Gurbangolu has invited famous law experts to research the problem. When the experts were finished researches, It was clear out that Ashgabad has not signed a number of the international conventions and consequently its statement in the international court have not accepted.
The main case of argue has occused in 2012, june. the Turkmenian ship, intending to approach to a disputable site of Caspian sea, has been stopped by the Azerbaijan border guards. Azerbaijan MFA gave an ultimatium to Turkmenistan ambassador. Today Turkmenia continues to threatened Azerbaijan with an international court of UN.
All the Caspian basin countries has made official meeting 28 times, for Caspian future status , but the community still couldnt get result. There is a risk that struggle for gas fields could transform to military problem. In 2009 Turkmenistan has declared intention to create on Caspian sea a naval flotilla, and Iran, in turn, declared in a days plans to replace in the sea submarines.

Some updates
Yellow Buckeye (Aesculus flava)
(Photo credit - Rob J)
I haven't updated the blog for a while as I've been out of town. When I returned my inbox was filled with e-mails announcing news of recent arrivals, both migrants and hatchlings. Before I get to that, I'd like to plug the upcoming Birdathon and City Birding Challenge.
Rumor has it that the Staten Island team has been strategizing and scrambling in an effort to beat our team, "The Wandering Talliers". I'm not going to make any predictions but yesterday Shane and I did some casual scouting and ended the day with 112 species. Last year we hit 140 species, and we were confined to Brooklyn. This year we can use all the boroughs. It would be nice to win the trophy for the top team but there is also an award for the team that raises the most money.
If you'd like to sponsor the Brooklyn team (or anyone, for that matter) and pledge money for the City Birding Challenge check out this webpage:
City Birding Challenge pledge form
Saturday saw a huge influx of migrant songbirds. The news started with an interesting e-mail from Sean to the group on Friday morning:
"From: Sean Sime
Date: Fri, 05 May 2006 06:24:42 -0400
Subject: Brooklyn, NY Big Push
From 5:45am to 6:15am from my roof I counted no fewer than 150 small passerines heading north. The only birds low enough or large enough to ID have been Great Crested Flycatcher, Redstart, Common Loon, Baltimore Oriole. The birds are still coming over in groups of 10-20.
Looks like it's going to be a great day!
That note was followed up by:
"Date: Fri, 05 May 2006 07:16:09 -0400
The push has slowed as of 7am. The greatest numbers went through around 6:30 with a few groups of 20-30 birds in close succession. All told I counted over 400 migrants in an hour and a half. Birds were visible or audible the entire time I was on my roof deck. The majority of birds unfortunately went unidentified. A Black-throated Blue [Warbler] sang, but it was unclear if this was a bird in flight or had dropped into a tree unnoticed. Quite a spectacle!
Unfortunately, at 6:30am I was already heading down to Maryland. I missed the results of that first big spring fallout in Brooklyn but appreciated it vicariously. In just one day the number of birds species in Prospect Park more than doubled. Friday saw the addition of 10 new year species; Least Flycatcher, Great Crested Flycatcher, Golden-winged Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Magnolia Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, Canada Warbler, Indigo Bunting and Pine Siskin.
Shane and I tried to make up for lost time on Monday. We birded Prospect Park, Forest Park and Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Some of the weekend migrants had moved on but we still had a great day. I got to see one of my favorite birds, the Blackburnian Warbler, three times. At Forest Park we watched one bathing and preening at the edge of the "waterhole".

From Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge we drove the 10 minutes south to Big Egg Marsh. We were looking for shorebirds and, with some luck, a Seaside Sparrow. The tide was unusually low which allowed us to walk deeper into the marsh than normal. While scanning tussocks of exposed grass and mud I spotted an opossum just waking and preparing for his nocturnal ventures.

Baren Falls is a location in Final Fantasy VI that only appears in the World of Balance. It is situated north of the Veldt and south-west of Doma Castle and Imperial Camp. The party automatically gets healed when they jump off the cliff.
Like several locations in the Doma region, the falls are nowhere to be found in the World of Ruin. This is probably because the Serpent Trench is no longer accessible as it has been raised above ground. The falls may still exist, as a scene during the credits shows children looking over a cliff identical the falls.
Story Edit
Sabin, Shadow, and Cyan arrive here looking to flee from Doma and the Gestahlian Empire. Shadow leaves them here. Sabin and Cyan jump down the falls, fighting monsters on the way. When they reach the bottom, they are saved by a wild boy named Gau.

Today's post is all about the amazing Skinnydip London. I love everything SkinnyDipLondon, Like I just love their style so much because it's different, it's not the same old products that you see on the high street being rehashed. The different array of products available to buy are beyond words and I really think there is something for everyone when shopping online with their store. It's all on trend, different, stylish pieces, even my gran likes some of their stuff and she is 63!
One of my faviourite things about SkinnyDip is that they have a section called "Blogger Of The Month" where they have an interview styled post that lets you get to know the blogger. I've found a few blogs from there that I now visit regularly like Howtwolive. I would really recommend anyone who enjoys reading blogs to check it out.
There are multiple things that I love about skinnydip London and I don't think it's any surprise why, So I decided to do this Skinnydip London wishlist, I would have just thrown all their products in there but I done the near impossible and narrowed it down to my absolute favourites.
It's no surprise that I have included some beautiful cross body bags in the list such as the Chill pill one and the shell styled one. They are absolutely stunning in my opinion and would add a lovely little touch of fun and style to any outfit. I have picked two phone cases from their range (which was hard) but they were my faviourites that I would just HAVE to buy when I have the money. Although they are for a samsung s6 and I have a samsung s7, the cases still fit my phone which is great because there isn't a big range of cases for the s7 yet. Because I am going on holiday in may next year I am looking for new luggage and accessories to take away with me and the little unicorn luggage tag is a must have for me! It's completely my style and I doubt anyone else will have that on their bag so I'll know it's mine. All of the items on the wish list are just beautiful, they are centered around my style and would fit nicely into my life. I do hope that I own them all at one point or another.
