Exposure to chemicals may occur by the following routes:
1. inhalation,
2. ingestion,
3. contact with skin and eyes, or
4. injection.
Inhalation of toxic vapors, mists, gases, or dusts can produce poisoning by absorption through the mucous membrane of the mouth, throat, and lungs and can seriously damage these tissues by local action. Inhaled gases or vapors may pass rapidly into the capillaries of the lungs and be carried into the circulatory system. This absorption can be extremely rapid. The rate will vary with the concentration of the toxic substance, its solubility in tissue fluids, the depth of respiration, and the amount of blood circulation, which means that it will be much higher when the person is active than when he or she is at rest.
The degree of injury resulting from exposure to toxic vapors, mists, gases, and dusts depends on the toxicity of the material and its solubility in tissue fluids, as well as on its concentration and the duration of exposure. Chemical activity and the time of response after exposure are not necessarily a measure of the degree of toxicity. Several chemicals (e.g., mercury and its derivatives) and some of the common solvents (benzene) are cumulative poisons that can produce body damage through exposure to small concentrations over a long period of time.
Many of the chemicals used in the laboratory are extremely dangerous if they enter the mouth and are swallowed.
The relative acute toxicity of a chemical can be evaluated by determining its LD50, which is defined as the quantity of material that, when ingested or applied to the skin in a single dose, will cause the death of 50% of the test animals. It is expressed in grams or milligrams per kilogram of body weight. In addition, many chemicals may damage the tissues of the mouth, nose, throat, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract and produce systemic poisoning if absorbed through the tissues.
To prevent entry of toxic chemicals into the mouth, laboratory workers will wash their hands before eating, smoking, or applying cosmetics; immediately after use of any toxic substance; and before leaving the laboratory. Food and drink may not be stored or consumed in areas where hazardous chemicals, radioactive materials, or biohazardous materials are being used. Chemicals should never be tasted; and pipetting and siphoning of liquids should never be done by mouth.
Contact with the skin is a frequent mode of chemical injury. A common result of skin contact is a localized irritation, but an appreciable number of materials are absorbed through the skin with sufficient rapidity to produce systemic poisoning. The main portals of entry for chemicals through the skin are the hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and cuts or abrasions of the outer layers of the skin. The follicles and glands are abundantly supplied with blood vessels, which facilitates the absorption of chemicals into the body.
Contact of chemicals with the eyes is of particular concern because these organs are so sensitive to irritants. Few substances are innocuous in contact with the eyes; most are painful and irritating, and a considerable number are capable of causing burns and loss of vision. Alkaline materials, phenols, and strong acids are particularly corrosive and can cause permanent loss of vision. Also, eyes are very vascular and provide for rapid absorption of many chemicals.
Skin and eye contact with chemicals should be avoided by use of appropriate protective equipment.
In the event of skin contact, the affected areas should be flushed with water and medical attention should be sought if symptoms persist; in the event of eye contact, the eye(s) should be flushed with water for 15 min and medical attention should be sought whether or not symptoms persist.
Exposure to toxic chemicals by injection seldom occurs in the chemical laboratory. However, it can inadvertently occur through mechanical injury from glass or metal contaminated with chemicals or when chemicals are handled in syringes.
B. Laboratory Specific Operating Procedures
Place laboratory specific operating procedures for working with particularly hazardous substances, here. (See Appendix J for guidelines on developing SOPs)

Football is round, milk is white, this is a simple fact, but on July 7 dairy industry boss Mengniu With the local 500 COFCO joint, the dairy industry what will change? Dairy industry is not been the steady rise? Ordinary consumers, what kind of milk you can drink a new taste? The mainstream of China's future consumption of milk is what? New " Food Safety Law "Chinese milk enterprises will face the test of what?
A series of problems have shown that, despite only a cup of white milk, but the second half of 2009 Dairy Market, there will be more changes and color.
Capital of the war, the strong Always the Winner
7 7, Mengniu and COFCO have formed a strategic Cooperation Partnership, COFCO joint Magnolia Fund will invest 6.1 billion dollar acquisition of a 20% stake in Mengniu, China Mengniu grain will thus become the largest single shareholder.
This partnership, once again confirms the strong dairy Always the Winner of the phenomenon, a securities analyst in the food that will be synergy with Mengniu, Mengniu injection of funds into the industry may be bigger and better corporate structure is conducive to enterprise internationalization; while the grain itself as the world top 500 enterprises, the income of its dairy boss for the construction of the whole food industry chain strategy, also increased a great bargaining chip.
Mengniu shares for the significance of grain, Niu Gensheng This conclusion is "three": food safety more internationalized, more global integration of strategic resources, Raw material More integration of the product. This indicates that the food "from farm to fork" security system and national integration in the global food resources in the process of building a global network, will be used to Mengniu, which makes Mengniu's food safety system has been updated higher, but also consumer confidence standpoint?? international platform.
More experts indicate, "the food, serving Chinese food are also integrated," but the last of the Integration of food grain has been "missing piece" that "baby food"?? Milk. The co-operation in food and Mengniu, also in the grain to make inroads into "baby food" in the field of a signal.
Other dairy brands also seeking change in the situation, Beijing Ternary M Hebei Sanlu just ended, and Shanghai are also changes in the light of the shares. In order to franchise the main industry, the actual holding of the leadership that will be years after the equity transfer of light.
From a second-tier of view, by far the largest acquisition of Heilongjiang Wanda Beland 51% stake, this process in just one month, showing a bigger and stronger determination.
Change from this capital, we can see that the market is always a sensitive sense of smell, each dairy companies are seeking to stabilize the well, enabling up to stabilize the situation, but the company's strength and size is different for partners with different paths, also chose a different development results, the market will eventually be the strongest to the resources and structure the best business tilt. Wise
gossip stop Market analysts said, since the opening up of capital markets should be a fair competition in the market, by means of malicious slander and false charges to discredit the normal market behavior so as much. In fact, since the grain Mengniu marriage was announced, the question on the lack of sound, directed mostly directed at Mengniu, that their management would like to withdraw from those who have the paper money, that the funds were there of strand breaks, Mengniu trees that hold those who are wearing the red top. However, these voices are convincing because there is not enough rational voices were covered. Thus, the Voice of challenge in turn point to the food.
7 afternoon of 22, 1 "in Liang Ning, chairman of learning has been suspended," the report spread quickly on the Internet, the paper speculated that the source was suspended Ning Mengniu shares. However, a lie is a lie after all, a few hours later, Ning himself out of the rumor, saying that the rumors unfounded, and legal means to defend its reputation in the food.

G-Men Win in Kamloops
The Blazers got out to a great start, scoring right off the opening face-off just six seconds into the game when Aspen Sterzer walked down the left wing and beat Lee glove side. The Giants responded with a strong push back effort that eventually resulted in an equalizing goal when Popoff dug out a loose puck in the Kamloops crease and knocked it into the net. Kulak scored the eventual winner in the late stages with a long slap shot from the right point that got past Kamloops goalie Bolton Pouliot cleanly to give Vancouver a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
The Giants extended the lead in the middle frame when Houck buried a one-timer from the slot after Popoff found him with a nice pass off the end boards. Traber added his name to the scoresheet as well when he deflected a Blake Orban point shot from in front of the net for his fourth goal of the season.
Lee had to make a couple of big saves in the third period, but the Giants played a solid final stanza to close out the victory on the road.
The G-Men continue their road trip on Tuesday night in Prince George for the first of two in a row against the Cougars. Pre-Game coverage begins at 6:30pm on TEAM 1410 and http://teamradio.ca followed by the face-off at 7:00pm.

I am amazed to find out that, in the long history of this project, only once have I featured the aggressive incompetence known as Billy Grey. I've always loved the statement made about Billy Grey on the American Song-Poem Music Archives Website, which was: One can only conclude, upon listening to his unique treatments, that he was hired strictly to make fun of the customers' lyrics.
In the case of the first song shared today, Billy Grey is paired with a lyricist of similarly limited talent, who submitted a poem containing the key line "They Don't Call It Love Any More", but which the author for some reason thought would work better under the confusing title "Love Any More".
This has all the hallmarks, to my ear, of someone who wanted to use a line (or a word), then tried to think up something which rhymed, and forced that other word into the rhyming line, regardless of its musicality or other appropriateness. Thus we get lines such as the one with which I titled this post, and, even more memorably:
Don't cha think it sounds pathetic
When they say it's genetic
This is, of course, an excellent way to write songs. I believe it was the first thing Cole Porter suggested, when he was asked.
Seriously, I have no idea what the above couplet means, nor do I understand the point the entire lyric is trying to make. Who stopped calling it love? And what do they call it now?
The band's performance is also worth the price of admission. The drummer's showy fills suggest that he thought he was in another, perhaps better, recording session.
All in all, a rewarding concoction.
Download: Billy Grey - Love Any More
The b-side of this effort is "Foggy Morning", a sad, mournful tale of how everything was peachy yesterday, but today, she has not only stopped loving him, but has left him entirely. There's not much here for me to comment on - this is like at least 80% of the song-poems I listen to - bad, perhaps even incompetently so, but not entertainingly so, at least not to me.

The Austin Winery | Build the Barrel Room
Austin's first Urban Winery is past the Proof of Concept stage. Time to build a new Barrel Room in the Heart of Austin.
The Austin Winery | Build the Barrel Room
Austin's first Urban Winery is past the Proof of Concept stage. Time to build a new Barrel Room in the Heart of Austin.
About This Project
Three friends opened The Austin Winery with a simple idea: bring winemaking to the urban community & break down the barriers between wine culture and the average person. Now that we're proven ourselves and our concept, we need your help to finish build out of our new winery which will allow us to increase our production & customer space exponentially.
Our focus is on high quality production though sustainable means in an approachable environment. We source our grapes from family-owned vineyards in Texas, California, Oregon, and Washington showcasing the most exceptional varietals from each region. The grapes arrives on stem, crushed, or as must and the entire winemaking process takes place in our winery.
We are 100% self-funded, and sought to prove ourselves and our concept 1st and foremost. We rented a very un-sexy warehouse slip in Industrial East Austin and established ourselves as the first urban winery in Austin.
We've come a long way, doubling our production each year, gaining market presence (local eateries/grocers first then Whole Foods, Central Market) and accolades (Work Horse - Bronze Medal at TexSom 2015, Ross & Cooper named Top Texans Under 30).
We maximized production and customer capacity in our retro-fitted warehouse and made the decision to move/build out a central location with a community of local, like-minded craftsmen at the repurposed industrial development, The Yard. We're currently building out our new winery which will allow us to increase our production (up to 20,000 cases) and customer/event space (up to 150). We're already permitted and mid-way through construction. We even have a deposit down on the steel work for the barrel room. Now, we're asking you to help us finish the build-out.
Your contribution will allow us to produce more wine, host more events, and maintain our independence from big beverage conglomerates and investment firms that would curb our eccentric identity.
Risks and challenges
We're 100% compliant & licensed by Federal, State, & Local governments to operate a winery. We have the building permits, contracts, and all the construction is complete with the exception of the barrel room. We have agreed a fee (and put a downpayment) with the steel contractor. Truly, we've done all the legwork and overcome numerous challenges along the way. There are very few risks or challenges that could arise after the project is funded - those which I can imagine would be protected with legal contacts.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Storage for A New Style of IT
Our new series on SDRNews continues, with this episode features a discussion of a common yet poorly-defined IT term – Software Defined.
HP's Kate Davis, WW Product Marketing Manager for HP StoreVirtual Storage discusses the topic in depth with independent storage blogger Chris Evans from the UK, whose blog Architecting.IT is read by over 5,000 IT professionals each month.
Beginning with basic concepts and the underlying essentials of the technology, Kate and Chris quickly move to a discussion of products from other vendors. Chris is an outspoken critic of EMC's ViPR .
In coming weeks, we will focus on Cloud, Networking, Servers and Storage products and ideas that are defining a new style of Information Technology, a Converged Infrastructure that responds to today's business environment.

HP Tech Talk Guest
|INTRO:There's no term as ill-defined as software-defined. Let's get some clarity next on HP Tech Talk.
Welcome to HP Tech Talks. I'm Andy McCaskey from SDR News and this is the show where we try and get some clarity and talk about defining the new style of IT with experts from Hewlett Packard. Of course we cover subjects like cloud computing and networking and servers. And today, we're going to be focusing on storage, and we've got a real treat because we have two folks who are joining us today. First of all, I'd like to introduce Chris Evans. Chris is actually joining us from the U.K., and he's not an HP employee but he does know a lot about storage.
Yeah, I'm not an HP employee, but I am hopefully able to give you some technical input on this subject. Looking forward to talking about it.
Well I'm really glad that you're able to join us here today. And of course, from the HP side, we have Kate Davis who's actually joining us from Colorado.
It's great to be here today and it's going to be a good topic to discuss.
Well I think we have a lot of ground to cover. And the crux of it is really kind of the initial topic that I had before we opened about this term software-defined. It looks like there have been almost as many definitions as there are people defining. But looks like some order is coming to that now.
Yeah, we hoped to figure out what the definition is and agree across the industry and move away from just being a buzzword.
So you have software-defined network, you have software-defined data center. What are some of the other acronyms that were floating around?
I think the third one is software-defined storage. Eventually, you'll see software-defined servers as server technology changes. But the next one that's really in play right now is storage.
Chris, as you have been working in your observations of the storage industry, what sorts of variants have you run into?
I guess I'm looking because I get to talk to a lot of different companies, not just HP, but obviously a lot of startups and a lot of the companies. One of the things you know definitely right about is that we are seeing different definition for this. But I do think people are focusing on the push of features into software and the use of commodity storage. Those seem to be the two main pieces that come out so far, although there is a very big wide variation in the different types of technology that people are trying to call software-defined storage.
Kate, what are some of the generally accepted features that everyone can agree upon?
I think the baseline is that it's software and typically runs in a virtualized infrastructure. And it brings the base storage features in provisioning and snapshot. After that is where the debate begins.
Let's just add some of the base to that Kate. I think people talk about automation, people talk about abstraction from the hardware – and ultimately, you've still got to have the hardware somewhere. But those are the sort of features I'm seeing that people are mentioning. I think we can look at the Wikipedia software-defined storage article, and it points us to some of those things. But as you said, they're not 100% clear yet. So I think it's good to add those in as well.
I think the biggest thing to look at is that is software-defined storage an umbrella that has a bunch of different technologies in it or is it solely what the product is? So I can see that in a couple of different ways. I can see the umbrella actually encompassing those virtual storage and storage hypervisors and future software storage that comes out. But I think that part of the debate is that is it the umbrella or is it specific features in the software product?
Well I know in the show notes here they talked about the idea of it actually being in software and not in microcode. Does this mean firmware in the hardware itself or how are you using that term?
A lot our storage arrays and devices that had gone previously, who relied on microcode within the actual hardware which drives the software features and the functionality. What we are seeing now, I think, is a move away from that specifically and more into software to actually deliver this. And Kate mentioned the whole idea of virtualization and that abstraction piece to virtualization. And I think that people are seeing it more moving away from a traditional monolithic array that might be the historical device, which is microcode to control that, and more into a software setup which would use commodity hardware. I think that's why we're seeing the difference.
I think it's really about the infrastructure that's being built. It's thinking about next generation. It's full data centers, it's cloud services, it's how to be flexible with the infrastructure that needs to be built to handle what the day requirements are going to be.
What are some other features that you would be looking for in the software-defined storage?
I think one thing that we should talk about is the whole separation of control and data planes. One of the things that was specified in the storage-defined networking which obviously is where these terms come from is the idea of separating the flow of the data from the management of that particular technology. And I think, to a certain degree, we'll expect to see that in software-defined storage as well. From my perspective, the other things I'd like to see in there – which I think will evolve over time as Kate mentioned – would include things like QoS, data mobility, and obviously things like policy-based management where we set a set of standards about how we want something to work, and we let the hardware make that decision because we're not tied to the specifics of the hardware.
Kate, would you have anything to add to that?
I think Chris is absolutely right. The real value of software-defined storage is the data services that go into the data plane that really provide all of the feature functionality to whatever infrastructure you are trying to build. So there is separation between the data plane and the control plane because every product needs to have management – and the more open our product is to management and APIs, the better it's going to fit within a person's workload, a person's business, to really benefit the infrastructure and the architecture overall.
So the hardware has to be in there somewhere. Aren't all arrays software-defined then?
If you look at storage itself, yes, every storage product is software-defined because you have hardware with software on it to make it do things. When you really get down into it, we need to look at what that hardware is. The way we see it for HP, our definition is its open industry standards based hardware. We're looking at servers. We're looking at direct attached storage. Anything that when you add the storage software to it, it's really going to create a new product. It's going to create the shared storage for your virtualized servers. It's going to add new functionality that you did not have by that hardware alone. It's going to allow you to be mobile with your data across your infrastructure.
One thing that you have to bear in mind is that there has to be some hardware definitely. And one of the other things you have to think of is that we're not going to deliver… try IOPS for instance: A high IOPS demands application or device using SATA drives. So that hardware has to reflect what we want. Potentially, that might contain SSD, it might contain hard drives. But as you said, we're actually taking pretty much commodity standards technology, and we're building something out of that, and that's the subtle difference to what we see traditionally where arrays are being built on the components that are being plugged together very specifically.
What I think software-defined storage really brings is new benefits. You're going to get that flexibility by being able to build whatever you want. You're going to get efficiency by using the hardware that's already in your infrastructure, and you're going to get the cost savings because you're not having to buy arrays just to get the functionality, but you could actually rely upon your servers.
Is storage virtualization the same as software-defined storage?
My answer to this is no, and Chris may have a different point. I think storage virtualization is an aspect of an array. Depending on the product, it could be part of the feature set. I see software-defined storage as an actual full product that is layered upon the hardware. So the whole aspect all of the data services that it provides, that is software-defined storage.
Yeah, I think you're right there Kate. I see storage virtualization as a subset, and I see software-defined storage a superset of virtualization. It just happens to be one of those features that are in there. There's obviously a lot more of that we talked about already that would need to be included to make it, as you said, a full featured product.
Chris, should software-defined storage networking also be included?
This is an interesting discussion because clearly, within the networking environment, we talk about software-defined networking for the piece of the infrastructure which processes data across, between servers and storage or between devices. Within the storage arena, we have both the fabric, which will be the standard network, which could be fiber channel, it could be other things. And then, we've got the physical persistence in storing that data. And I think perhaps sometimes, we need to consider both because clearly, you want the ability to store that data, but we also want the ability to redirect it sometime in the future, or to be able to replicate and do the things. So I think there's an opportunity that involves the networking side to be part of this definition, and that really hasn't been done yet.
I think you're right there. I think that as the software-defined data center evolves, and it's going to take many years to evolve, so that we have software servers and networking and storage all working together. I think that we kind of have the piece parts, and it's starting. And I think the evolution will come in a few years' time.
Kate, what about software-defined storage in the hypervisor? I think there are people in the industry that are claiming that they've implemented that.
I think that's one way of deploying it. It depends on… I guess the future functionality that you can truly get from it already built in. That means it is proprietary, so you have to run your infrastructure on that hypervisor. There's no changing over time. I think the benefit of having it in more of a virtual machine is that it's movable, that it can change hardware. I wonder if having it buried in a hypervisor is really limiting.
Chris, you probably can speak more freely from an independent blogging perspective.
Yeah, it's true. Some of the vendors have started to say that their products are doing this already, and to a certain degree, they are – because you could look and say the Vmware and they have, with things like DRS and some of their other features, they have the ability to put that policy layer in there. They are doing abstraction of that. You're also tied to that particular one enclosure. How do you make that flexible across multiple hypervisors? How do you get yourself flexibility across physical servers and so on? That isn't necessarily the mobility that you might work with software-defined storage. So you are still tying yourself in slightly.
Are some of those offerings blurring the boundaries within the software-defined storage?
I think there's a chance that they could do, because you've got some other features that are being brought in as part of technology and the hardware, they having to be supported that directly connected to the hypervisor. So some of the things we've seen today, like the AAI and the other acceleration technologies that are being put into the hardware mean that we're sort of mixing those different pieces of technology. It's probably not a problem as long as those interfaces are clear, well-defined, and open – because then you can implement it in a more consistent fashion but where it is not, and obviously, that potentially is a problem.
Kate, what is HP's approach in this situation?
We want to have a product that can work in anybody's infrastructure. So we're going to be very hypervisor independent, we're going to be very hardware agnostic, and we're going to provide the key functionality that you need for your storage or your virtualized environment. But we don't necessarily care what the underlying piece parts are.
As long as they're HP parts, I guess.
It's better if they're HP, yes, but it's not limited to that.
What about other vendors? Where does the EMC ViPR system fit in?
That's an interesting one. Viper, and I think Kate I both talked about this. EMC have obviously taken a slightly different approach in that they've decided to go for the control piece first, and they're looking at how they can abstract that in terms of provisioning and management. And that's pretty much the majority of what they are doing with Vipr, although they are doing some work around export data to different formats like Hadoop and so on.
Can you really have SDS with only the control plane?
I don't think so. I think it needs three parts. I think it needs to be able to work on open hardware. I think it needs that data plane to bring in the services to your infrastructure. And I think it does need that control plane to add the management piece. And I think by ViPR using arrays that are already in the infrastructure, that keeps the purpose of the benefits of software-defined storage. It's supposed to be cost-effective, it's supposed to add efficiency, it's supposed to add that flexibility to the environment. And I think that by just adding the control plane, you're focusing on managing what's already there, but you're not adding extra feature functionality.
And just to add to that case, there's something we should consider, and that's the underlying technology that's being abstracted there. You're purely relying on those features. So if those arrays only support certain features, then that's what we get. You don't get an additional leveled software abstraction to the allow you to deal the things in that data point.
Chris, it looked like you took a poll or a survey amongst a number of people in the industry. Can you explain what you were seeking and share some of those results?
Yeah, sure. I think I mentioned earlier that there is a Wikipedia page which has some definition around what software-defined storage means. What I was really keen to do is find out what people's views were and what they actually thought what those definitions were like and how accurate they were. What I did was that I put a poll on and I asked people to respond over the course of a couple of months. As a response, it wasn't high, it's only in the hundreds. It's not massive, but it's still potentially relevant. And what I found was that something like 26% of the people think that software-defined storage should be delivered on white box commodity hardware, as to the definition in Wikipedia. The second thing, I think that around 22%, is that it should be policy-driven storage. So clearly, that means not relying on the specific hardware, but putting in their specific policy requirements around perhaps tiering or performance. After that, we saw 18:30 average between 15 and 10% around things like virtual volumes, management of traditional arrays, and separation in those storage maintenance operations. So pretty much, it's clear that people are focusing on the idea of commodity and policy as the two main parts to this.
I think that's a good view of what people need for their infrastructure. I think that's also part of what's going to differentiate, all the products that are part of software-defined storage category. I think we need to agree on the base aspects of it and then be able to have those different functions to differentiate, because we can't all be the same.
Chris, thanks very much for sharing your survey with us. I have to ask the last question for Kate here. Kate, if you're thinking about software-defined storage, why HP and why now?
HP has been and is in virtual storage software-defined storage market for six years now. We actually have the most robust product that is out there in the market. And we have full functionality, we have full integration with multiple hypervisors and are continuing to invest in the platform and will continue to grow it. And you'll see that later this year.
Excellent. Well thanks to you for joining us here as well. And thanks to each of you for joining us here on HP Tech Talks. We're going to be talking with the folks from cloud computing coming up here next week. I'm Andy McCaskey for SDR News. Thanks and we'll see you again.
Music and End!

TraderStep.com has been created by an active trader community, which is willing to make available to all their experience in Finance in order to help you making the right decision to invest in Binary Options.
The trend monitoring method is commonly used by numerous traders as in our field we often rely on statistics and probabilities in order to assess risks.
It has been observed that if an asset is describing an upward trend i.e. it constantly rises, the probability that the rise will strengthen is higher than the probability of a trend reversal.
There is no such thing as zero risk in this field. You just have to have a look at the news to understand that asset prices are very changing.
The binary option advantage is that every day is different from the precedent and that we can win either on the rise or the fall of an asset.
In order to avoid losses, it is strongly recommended that you bet on various assets at the same time and to start with small bet amount such as 10 to $40 by position. This will considerably increase your chances of wining and flourish your initial capital.
It is fundamental to well understand the demonstration video that you can find on the home page as well as charts analysis, in order to start using the Trend Monitoring method.
Once the method is understood, you can reach the 24option website to start trading.
Several web sites allow you to trade Binary Options but we mainly use 24option as we think it is really important to be at ease with the use of the trading website while you start trading.
Thus we used 24option for our demonstration video, that you can find on the Home Page, as the website is more simple and intuitive than the others.
One of the advantages of 24option is that you can easily withdraw your money.

We have all seen them and probably have a couple in our classrooms. In fact you may find them in other classrooms as well. It's hard to escape them because there really is little options out there. What am I talking about?
classroom posters
Lets face it there are some really cheesy posters out there. Sure their cute, but dorky too. Thankfully, I found a way to rid myself of the all the boringness! My solution comes from two sources: Pinterest and Staples. Did you know you can save images to a flash drive take them to staples and they will print it for a couple of cents. I think my most expensive poster was a little over a dollar. Then all you have to do is laminate them and wah-lah new posters that are no where near cheesy!
I am pretty sure that 47% of my students pay little attention to what is on my walls, but I do and I like what I see.
You might want to check and make sure its okay to print and display any poster you find.

The Venusian year & the blood moon midpoint
Back at the superior conjunction of Venus just after the partial solar eclipse that followed the blood moon, I wrote about Venus' fall as evening star as a metaphor for the fall of Eve (or any emblem of the fall/death) paving the way for eternal resurrection and the first ray of light when she becomes the doe of the dawn.
Looking now at the dates for Venus' next inferior conjunction when she becomes morning star I am realizing what the 5/8/13 cycle is all about..it does not fit neatly with the solar year as we know it, it has its own beat, sometimes in January, sometimes in August. Should we be looking at Venusian years? I guess we are, a bit. Remember in 2014 Ariel Sharon passed on the day of the inferior conjunction with Venus. Many say he symbolized an era and now at the spring equinox they sttand at a crossroads with new elections.
Looks like Venus will be at inferior conjunction 8/5/15 (check out those numbers).
And where does it occur? 22 Leo, where Jupiter is now and will be during the 8-pointed star and Sirius full moon.
After the inferior conjunction Venus emerges from the sun's glare as the morning star, when that things kick into gear. Yet another piece of the puzzle coming together around the end of 5775 and the beginning of 5776. Jupiter and Mars will be at Regulus in late September days before the final blood moon. Until then Venus is ahead of the sun in the zodiac, but trailing the sun in the sky, appearing after sunset. The link above shows greatest brightness in July.
I'm feeling like 1/5/15 is a fold point that will become evident in retrospect. I see building and positioning picking up towards the 3rd & 4th blood moon. What will likely shift at 1/5 is an alignment of our inner kaleidoscope so that we will be enabled to perceive what happens thereafter.

In the midst of the celebration, the king stood up and spoke to his son, "Since I am an astrologer, I can see from the stars that in the future you are going to lose the monarchy, and when that happens, I want you to be very careful not to fall into depression. Rather, you must force yourself to remain happy. And if you do succeed in remaining happy, then I will also be happy. In fact, even if you become depressed, I will still be happy. I will be happy that you are no longer king. For if you can not remain happy despite losing the kingship, that will be a sign that you were not worthy of being king. But if you do manage to remain happy, then I will be very happy indeed."…
~ Seven Beggars – Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.
Who are "the wicked" in Daniel 12:10? Who are "those who understand"?
Daniel 12: 9 He replied, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
"Purified" – the matters of Daniel's prohecy will become elucidated and given light by scholars and thinkers meaning they will desire to clarify the matter and to give light to know the truth
"Many will "yetzarfu" which means both "will be clarified" and "they will recombine" as in make numerological and alphabetical calculations based on Daniel's prophecy !
And so the interpretation is: 'many will believe their calculation came out refined and pure with no mistake"
"And the wicked will be wicked" – and by this, the wicked will do evil by saying here, you see Messiah has not come by the time put forth in those calculations, nor will he come
"None of the wicked will understand" – that the reality is due to the mistake of the calculation,
But the enlightened will understand – they will know to attribute His not coming to the mistaken understanding of Daniel's prophecy, and they will not despair from awaiting the Redemption.
– Metzudat David on Daniel 12:10 (rough translation)

Grand cross / Full moon Cancer aligned with Sirius January 4th/5th
This keeps on coming to me in pieces. Sunday night Jan 4th there is a full moon in Cancer opposite the sun in Capricorn. We all know about the Uranus – Pluto square – well this is the same time the Sun is conjunct Pluto bringing the full moon dynamic to bear on this spiraling square between the two transcendant outer planetary bodies.
Moreover the full moon will occur precisely when the full moon is conjunct Sirius! The astrologer Olga Morales has pointed out that the astrological significance of Christmas among other things is the sun's alignment with Sirius – well on Jan 4th it is exact, and no less at the full moon, with the sun, moon and Sirius aligned!
To top it all off on that day the node is at 14 Libra bringing the sun, moon, Uranus, Pluto and the node into a perfect square, with the sun moon and node all at perfect 14 degrees aligned with Sirius. The t-square is not an easy shape and so the karma is still clearing.. But it is that type of final karma that happens on the brink of discovery, on the brink of new ground, the epitome of this incarnation, of all incarnations, of all of cosmic history – it is linked to our reunion with our binary star system via the blue light Sirius, the wayshower Rigel, Jupiter in Leo, opposite Mars in Aquarius – the two reunited at the kingly star the heart of the Lion on trumpets of the true shemita year in the fall in conjunction with the final blood moon, the papal USA visit, the great convergence, and January 2015 begins it all.
This year the eight nights of Chanukah spilled in to Christmas eve indicating that Mashiach is our destiny.
Fifteen days from Solstice to 1/5/15 Blood Moon Midpoint (Dongzhi solar term)
January 5th 2015 is the midpoint of the eclipse sequence beginning in 2011.
There are fifteen (15) days from the winter solstice to the blood moon eclipse midpoint on 1/5/15. This period is also known as the Donghzi solar term in the Chinese calendar system.
Also note 1/5/15 = 1515 = ISIS (the Goddess) corresponding to the the star Sirius.
"There may be a total of twelve major centers or heavens in our cosmos from the atmic to the center of Creation itself. If planetary inner suns are the fourth, universal centers or principles, and solar system suns are the 5th, then the galactic center must be the sixth or seventh. I believe it to be the seventh. The sixth must be a super sun such as Sirius or Alcyone around which our solar system(and other solar systems) revolve. This super sun, in turn, revolves around the galactic center." http://www.librarising.com/cosmology/galactic.html
There is a grand cardinal cross forming now through mid-January, tying together Sirius, the Uranus-Pluto squares, the newly born solstice sun, and the north node.
Uranus and Pluto reached their 5th square on December 14, 2014. The squares between Pluto and Uranus began in June 2012 and the 7th and final square will occur on the spring equinox of 2015. The Uranus-Pluto square forms one side of this grand cross.
Furthermore, on January 3rd, the sun will be conjunct Pluto such that the newly reborn solstice sun initiating a new solar cycle–from a mystical point of view seeing the emergence from the galactic center/dark rift as the seeding of a new cycle–this new sun will now be conjunct this powerful Uranus-Pluto suspension that has been restructuring our psyche with its powerful forces. We are essentially being wired to emerge from the ashes of our own previous selves with a higher divine blueprint, which has always been our true self.
Uranus corresponds to the sefira of Keter or the Crown, and the color violet or translucence. Kabbalah teaches that there are 3 "heads" of Keter, one of which is the skull which I feel is being "cracked open" by the Uranus-Pluto squares 2012-2015.
"In the rectified world of Atzilut, the sefirah of keter develops into two distinct partzufim, referred to as Atik Yomin and Arich Anpin. There is a further division of the keter of Atzilut into "three heads," identified either as: "the Unknowable Head"; "the Head of Nothingness"; "the Head of Infinity," or as; "the Unknowable Head"; "the Skull"; "the Concealed Brain."' (From Inner.org)
If we combine this with the information above about Sirius being the possible 6th center around which we revolve in 26,000-year cycles, this grand cross may be an indicator that the blood moon midpoint marks a key milestone or watershed moment in our journey back to our twin sun, which in us as felt as a mental implosion and awakening of the inner skull.
More about the grand cross can be found here. Note that it spans from the solstice through mid-January when the north node is in a t-square with Uranus and Pluto, indicating a key moment in the evolutionary or karmic aspect of this journey.
Solstice/New Moon Tevet/Uranus Direct on the 6th night of Chanukah
This year the winter solstice occurs within hours of the new moon at 0'05" Capricorn. On the same day Uranus which has been retrograde since July 21st turns direct at 12'34" Aries paving way for the final Uranus-Pluto square in March 2015. Uranus represents the Godspark within, the part of the soul that is anchored in God and that which is limitless. It is the bridge between religion and the occult and all binaries. It has been pulled back like a boomerang and is about to be unleashed. The final pluto uranus square will seal the process. It is time for gods to walk on earth again, it is time for the hidden light of God hidden in the recesses of the human heart to awaken. For such a time as this.

Wine Country Weddings On the California Central Coast
By Laura Eggers
A wine country wedding conjures up images of colorful vineyards, earthy scents and romantically lit wine cellars. You need little in the way of decoration, as the setting is so naturally scenic. While most vineyards look similar, depending on the season and age of the vines, the winery buildings themselves can vary widely. Decide if you prefer the style of a country farmhouse, a French chateau or a simple stone building.
Another consideration is the winery's proximity to an airport and/or accommodations for out of area guests. Many wineries offer outdoor receptions overlooking the vineyard, perhaps with hors d'hoevres passed in an elegant tasting room. Some have wine cellars and barrel rooms that can be set up with candles in medieval style for the wedding dinner. A combination or variation of these can be incorporated, making the most use of the winery's natural attributes.
Another great thing about having a wine country wedding is that you really don't need much in the way of extra decorating costs. Plus, the gorgeous setting will enhance your wedding photos.
Popular wine tasting areas on the California Central Coast include Paso Robles, the Edna Valley near San Luis Obispo and the Santa Maria and Arroyo Grande areas. Not every winery offers wedding services, but the following places do. Call and inquire about their offerings, and then take a tour with your fiancé of the ones you are interested in. Be sure to taste their wines as well!
In the Paso Robles area, Jan Kris Winery is located in Templeton. They have a rose garden and gazebo as well as a banquet room with views of the vineyard. They can accommodate up to 200 people and will allow you to bring in an outside caterer. Call 805-434-039 or see jankriswinery.com.
Meridian Winery in Paso Robles can accommodate up to 150 guests in their Barrel Chai Room. Their outdoor herb garden can hold up to 200, while larger weddings can be held out on the lawn overlooking the vineyard. Call 805-226-7135 for more information.
Robert Hall Winery in Paso Robles has a wedding coordinator included. Their setting is on a hilltop overlooking the vineyards. Call 805-239-1616 or see roberthallwinery.com.
Other wineries in the Paso Robles area, which offer wedding facilities, include EOS Estate Winery, 805-239-2563, Justin Vineyards, 805-781-7303, and Zenaida Cellars, 805-227-0382.

Using vintage wine bottle labels in your decor and stationery
A good source of inspiration for graphics to use in your vineyard wedding are old wine bottle labels. You can find lots of examples with Google's image search, and winegirl.ch has many labels organized by subject, such as these examples of Feminine Beauty Art Nouveau.
Obviously one must take care not to infringe any copyrights when using materials like this, but if you use really old labels where the copyright has expired you should be ok.
A label like the one shown here, could be photo-shopped to remove the text, new background air brushed in its place, then your own text added using similar fonts, color and texture. It would make a great invitation and set the scene for a truly special day.

A Photographer's Look at the Temecula Wedding Location Wilson Creek Winery
By Vanessa Honda and Stephen Honda
Although it is the photographer who has the greatest influence in the creation of an excellent photographic wedding collection, the location also has a dramatic impact. A wedding at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula is a beautiful location for shooting a wedding and if shot correctly will contribute to a memorable wedding album.
The Vineyards are of course the attribute that sets this wedding location apart from other wedding location. When shooting in this location a photographer should use the natural, earthy, fresh backgrounds that this location permits. When shooting the actual ceremony, a photographer can get a variety of stunning shots by standing at the back of the ceremony location. Those in attendance sit in rows of chairs at the same level as where the ceremony takes place. The photographer, from behind those in attendance can climb to a higher point. From this point of view, a photographer can get a shot of the entire ceremony with miles of rolling vine covered hills in the background. Of course a photographer needs to get close-up shots as well. Both objectives can be accomplished if one photographer shoots from the back with both a wide angle and a telephoto lens and another assistant is placed under the white gazebo where there the ceremony takes place.
One great place to take pictures of the bride is at the top of a couple flights of stairs of the lobby. There is a 19th century style black railing that goes around the hallway of the top floor of the lobby. A black and white or sepia shot of the bride against this railing creates an attractive retro look that will work well in a number of styles of albums.
Another location which is fun to shoot in is within the vineyards themselves. A picture the bride and groom framed with branches and grapes in the foreground with the couple centered between the branches in the background so that it looks as though the camera is peeking in on them as they gaze into each others eyes is another favorite shot available at this location.
Temecula has a number of beautiful locations for shooting a wedding. The Wilson Creek Winery if shot correctly will contribute much to any wedding album.
Vanessa is a Temecula Wedding Photographer who shoots in a number of Orange County, Riverside and San Diego Wedding Locations.

Wedding stationery
From the moment you get engaged, to thanking guests for their gifts, there are many times that you will need to send out notes to all your guests. These might include engagement announcements and parties, save the date magnets, wedding invitations, guest information cards, bridal showers and thank you notes.
There are many places where you can get these printed using off-the-shelf designs, but if you are at all creative and can use photo editing software, why not make your own personal designs and get those printed? This gives you the ability to maintain the vineyard theme in all your communications.
You can buy stock photographs quite cheaply at websites like istockphoto.com.You can search for photos on related subjects, and add your text before sending the file to printers such as vistaprint.com. Here is an example I knocked up in just a few minutes.

We spend our lives trying to fit in, be accepted, play by the rules and do the right thing and yet over time our dreams can seem more elusive leaving us feeling alone, dejected or empty. As the years pass the gap between reality and possibility widens, or so it seems. Fears creep in and we feel thwarted at every turn. Doubts whisper more persistently ... the world tightens around us. The distance between hopes and dreams seems insurmountable. Talents, skills and abilities have been discarded becoming a faded memory. We may have buried what makes us unique, individual and altogether lovely under a pile of societal expectations, family pressures or life's adversities. The freedom to be our unique selves has escaped us as we are swept up in the day to day business of life and the various roles we play as wife, mother, lover, confidante, nutritionist, disciplinarian and so on. Life can become defined by what we do instead of by who we are.
We get to play an irreplaceable role in our own lives. Unlike a play or performance, no one can play our part as well as we can. The world is our stage and an understudy just Will NOT DO! This is not a dress rehearsal. This is it! We have this time, this moment in history to be all that we were created to be.
Fly free - my art @ A Soul Soiree
I can just imagine the details of our lives being scripted with minute exactness, deftly written within the throne room of heaven. Discussed in hushed tones throughout the hallways of heaven as angels come and go, sneaking a peek at the masters plans as the vastness of eternity echoes in the distance. The air is alive with electric undercurrents as hope is forged, destinies formed and lives purposed. Limitless potential is carefully wrapped within our frail humanity and embedded deep within our core. The seeds of purpose and destiny sown in anticipation. Who are we then to question the validity of such a master plan? Who are we to allow such potential to go unmet? If we could but see from heavens perspective - our life divinely appointed for a time such as this!
We who are divinely designed, artistically crafted and so irresistibly delightful to the core, truly are altogether lovely!
So my beautiful friend, dig deep into your heart and soul and unearth what makes you unique, individual and altogether lovely. Allow the breath of heaven to do its work through you and in you today.

The Collins Chabane ANC Youth League (ANCYL) sub-region has lashed out at the apparent self-staged assassination by Kenny 'The Matrix' Kunene and Sunday Independent editor Stephen Motale.
The Young Lions say they are shocked by the hilarious movie played by one pensioning journalist and by an attention-obsessed character.
The region believes this is a rehearsed Takalani Sesame performance aimed at discrediting Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa's ANC presidential campaign.
The ANCYL says this movie unfortunately went wrong and adds nobody is interested in killing Motale or Kunene.
Why would a normal person want to kill Kenny out of all influential leaders in the country? We are not in a sunglasses competition.— Collins Chabane ANCYL sub-region statement
Kenny Kunene thought politics is like the hip hop environment where surviving an attempted hit would resuscitate his dead political career.— Collins Chabane ANCYL sub-region statement
Where in the world would a person be missed by 21 bullets? Were these hitmen paid with a garage pie and a half litre so that they can waste their time?— Collins Chabane ANCYL sub-region statement

Travis County, Texas, has one of the highest deportation rates in the U.S. thanks to the local sheriff's voluntary cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An average of 19 immigrants a week are deported here. Stopping the deportation dragnet in Travis County would mean stopping the potential detention and deportation of thousands of Austin-area residents. Grassroots Leadership, in coalition with other groups in the Austin-area, is making that happen by engaging in direct action, community education, and dialogue with local elected officials.

Is Trump Waging a Stealth War of Retaliation Against Sanctuary Cities?
As Attorney General Jeff Sessionsdoubles down on President Donald Trump's threats to crack down on sanctuary cities, evidence is mounting that the administration has already made them the target of retaliatory immigration raids as part of a backdoor effort to force compliance.
The term "sanctuary city" refers to thehundreds of jurisdictions across the United States that, to one degree or another, limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
CNN reported on March 25 that an unnamed "senior U.S. immigration official with direct knowledge of ongoing ICE actions" testified that federal authorities have descended upon sanctuary cities to pressure them to cooperate. Journalist Maria Santana wrote, "High-ranking ICE officials have discussed in internal meetings carrying out more raids on those locations [sanctuary cities]."
While Santana's source did not reveal his or her identity, a federal judge proclaimed in open court on March 20 that he was told firsthand by federal agents that aggressive immigration raids in Austin this February were orchestrated in direct retaliation for sanctuary policies adopted by a local sheriff. U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin's assertion was first reported by Tony Plohetski of the Austin American-Statesman.
In early February, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out aggressive sweeps throughout Austin, arresting at least 51 people, as part of coordinated raids across the country. "They were pulling people over on the side of the road, apprehending them at their homes, knocking on doors and profiling people," Cristina Parker, an organizer with Grassroots Leadership, told AlterNet.
"This retaliation was a vengeful tactic by ICE for all the progress the immigrant community has gained in this county in the last four years," said the Travis County campaign, ICE Out of Austin. "This is as much an attack on the local democratic process, the immigrant community and their leadership as it is on our sheriff's policy. We fought too hard and too long to let ICE intimidate us back into accepting our deportations. We will continue to struggle and fight to end deportations."

To distract from his boss' failures, Sessions threatens "sanctuary cities" — again
(AUSTIN, Texas) — The Trump administration continued its campaign of fear mongering and misinformation today, repeating old threats to punish so-called "sanctuary cities" by withholding federal funding, actions that legal experts say are (still) likely unconstitutional.
In a public announcement obviously intended to distract from the Trump administration's humiliating defeat on healthcare last week, Attorney General Jeff Sessions reiterated threats to defund "sanctuary cities" — all from a previous executive order.

Sanctuary City Starts GoFundMe After Gov Cuts Grants
In Austin, some courts might have to be crowdfunded.
That's because the city is what President Donald Trump calls a "sanctuary city"—and it's facing extraordinary pressure, both political and financial, to join the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts.
Austin is in Travis County, where its so-called sanctuary policy has already cost it $1.5 million in state funding that would have paid for drug courts, veterans' courts, and aid to domestic violence victims.
Trump, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and other advocates of tougher immigration enforcement urge local police and sheriffs to help ICE in its deportation efforts. But many local law enforcement officials—including including Travis County's new sheriff, Sally Hernandez—are hesitant, fearing that undocumented immigrants will be less likely to help police track down dangerous criminals if those police are in cahoots with ICE.
When Hernandez announced the county wouldn't always cooperate with Trump, Texas Governor Greg Abbott cut state funding to the county.
So the sheriff's supporters are now crowdfunding to make up for the lost cash—cash that pays for special courts designed to help War on Terror veterans with PTSD and parents with drug addictions. And it's unlikely to be an anomaly, as Austin has become a national focal point in Trump's efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants.
That's a lot of pressure by itself—lost funding, and even the threat of prison. But some say it's not all. Bob Libal, who heads the anti-deportation group Grassroots Leadership, told The Daily Beast in February that he thought ICE deportation raids taking in place in Austin were retaliation for Hernandez's policy. Since then, a federal magistrate judge said she shared that view.
Libal said he thinks ICE crackdowns will continue.
"We fully anticipate that we will continue to be a target," he said. Read more about Sanctuary City Starts GoFundMe After Gov Cuts Grants
Federal Judge Confirms Heightened Austin ICE Action Is Payback For Softened Immigration Policy
The recent sweeps for undocumented immigrants in Austin by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were done in retaliation for the new sheriff's policy ending a close partnership with the federal agency over a preference in focusing on high-level felons for deportation, according to a published report.
As first reported by the Austin American-Statesman Monday, federal agents privately alerted two magistrate judges in late January they would target Austin with heightened a heightened immigration crackdown.
The reason: A more nuanced policy by Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez that doesn't cooperate with ICE in honoring so-called "detainers," 48-hour holds placed on any arrested person suspected of being undocumented to allow an agent plenty of time to arrive (usually from San Antonio) to fetch the detained person and follow up on deportation.
"We had a briefing … that we could expect a big operation, agents coming in from out of town, that it was going to be a specific operation, and at least it was related to us in that meeting that it was the result of the sheriff's new policy that this was going to happen," Austin said, as quoted by the Statesman.
What followed less than three months later was unprecedented in Austin, with people being pulled over on roadways or visited at homes and workplaces as ICE agents descended on Austin to root out undocumented immigrants beginning in early February. ICE agents' efforts undoubtedly were fueled by Hernandez's more softened approach but buoyed by Donald Trump and Greg Abbott, both eager proponents of wholesale deportations from their presidential and governor's perches, respectively.
Immediately, suspicions emerged that the crackdown never before seen (the undocumented before detected largely during times of arrest, not personal visits by ICE agents) was sort of payback against Hernandez. The revelation made in court on Monday seems to support those suspicions.
Bob Libal, executive director of Grassroots Leadership in Austin, reacted angrily to the revelations, calling out past missives by ICE positing enforcement action as routine to have been outright lies.
"This revelation in open court proves what immigrants and advocates have known for years — that ICE regularly lies to immigrants, local officials, and the media," Libal said. "Now more than ever, officials at every level of government should rethink their relationship with this agency, and cut ties with an entity that used its power to terrorize our community and then lies to elected officials about the reason for its operation."

Federal judge says Austin ICE raids in response to sanctuary policy
A federal judge revealed Monday that federal agents told him last month's immigration enforcement raids in Austin were in response to a policy protecting undocumented immigrants.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents notified him and another judge about a specific operation during a meeting in late January. The mid-Feburary raids occurred after the Travis County Sheriff's Office stopped allowing ICE agents to detain inmates without warrants space on Feb. 1.
"We had a briefing … that we could expect a big operation, and at least it was related to us in that meeting that it was the result of the sheriff's new policy, that this was going to happen," Austin said in open court.

Sarah Eckhardt, Travis County District Attorney, met with ICE regional field office director Dan Bible in February, who told her ICE was not targeting Austin, according to the Statesman.
Bob Libal, director of immigrants rights advocacy group Grassroots Leadership, said ICE cannot be trusted given Monday's announcement.
"It's completely outrageous and appalling that ICE is choosing to terrorize the immigrant community in retaliation for a perfectly legal policy," Libal said. "They are lying to local officials and to the press about what their activities are." Read more about Federal judge says Austin ICE raids in response to sanctuary policy
Trump's DHS Rolls Out Public Shaming Campaign Against 'Sanctuary Cities'
The Trump administration has begun publicly shaming so-called "sanctuary cities" in an attempt to get them to cooperate with deportation efforts.
The Department of Homeland Security on Monday issued a report about jurisdictions that had declined "detainer requests," or appeals to hold individuals solely to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with some of the crimes those people had been accused of committing.
Such weekly reports are part of President Donald Trump's executive order targeting jurisdictions that limit their cooperation with ICE in some way, and are seemingly meant to pressure these cities and counties into compliance.
ICE made 3,083 total requests to detain individuals between Jan. 28 and Feb. 3, according to the report. Jurisdictions declined in at least 206 instances. Travis County, Texas ― which encompasses the city of Austin ― began to implement its "sanctuary" policies on Feb. 1 and accounted for about two-thirds of these denials to detain immigrants.
Maj. Wes Priddy of the Travis County Sheriff's Office said his county's numbers were high because they included many people who had been in custody for months. After Sheriff Sally Hernandez took office, her office compiled all the names of people who wouldn't be held under the new "sanctuary" policy and submitted them to ICE 10 days before implementing it.
"The week they chose happens to fall at the time we implemented our new policy," Priddy told The Huffington Post. "Any subsequent reports that ICE may choose to put out are going to show much smaller numbers."
Since implementing the new detainer policy, Priddy said, the county jail has released on bonds 38 people with felonies on their records. All but one person, who was charged with driving under the influence, had attended their scheduled court hearings.
"That's every bit as good as the record of U.S. citizens that have to go to a court date," Priddy said. "These people are showing up."
Bob Libal, the director of Grassroots Leadership, an organization that pushed for the Travis County sanctuary policy, said the Trump administration's pressure on local jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE would make immigration enforcement more erratic than it was under former President Barack Obama.
"I fully expect that we're going to see a dramatic uptick in detainers placed by ICE everywhere in the country, which only increases the rationale for county's refusing to honor detainers," Libal told HuffPost. "We're not going to see the prioritization we saw under the Obama administration. We're going to see a broad scope of people suspected of being undocumented or any immigration issue."
A growing number of local officials have refused over the past several years to honor ICE requests to hold undocumented immigrants, arguing that it undermined immigrants' faith in local law enforcement and that the detainers funneled too many people with minor offenses or ties to the local community into deportation proceedings. Manylocal officials also worry that honoring all ICE detainers will force them to violate the constitution. Federal courts have ruled that local jurisdictions violate the Fourth Amendment when they honor a request from ICE and hold someone who would otherwise be allowed to go free.

Judge exposes ICE retaliation in Austin raids, proving how readily ICE lies to local officials and press
(AUSTIN, Texas) — Today, Grassroots Leadership reacted to a revelation first made in federal court on Monday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew Austin confirmed that mass raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Austin in February were retaliation for Sheriff Sally Hernandez's policy limiting the use of voluntary immigration detainer requests in the Travis County Jail.

ICE agents in Travis County courthouses looking for suspects
Juan Coronilla-Guerrero was one of dozens of unauthorized immigrants released from the local jail after Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez implemented a new policy to not honor many ICE detainers.
Coronilla-Guerrero's wife, in a news release from the immigrant advocacy group Grassroots Leadership, confirmed that Coronilla-Guerrero was one of more than 30 immigrants released in the days following Hernandez's implementation of a policy that greatly limited cooperation with ICE requests to hold suspected undocumented immigrants.
ICE agents in Austin on Friday detained an immigrant suspected of being in the country illegally at the Travis County courthouse, in what appears to be a new tactic by immigration officials.
Defense attorney Daniel Betts confirmed to the American-Statesman that his client, Juan Coronilla-Guerrero, was detained at the courthouse, where was scheduled to appear for two misdemeanor charges, assault-family violence and possession of marijuana.
Betts said his client was arrested in an elevator at the Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center.
The Travis County sheriff's office confirmed that ICE agents were at the courthouse serving a warrant.
Attorney George Lobb, who saw the arrest, said the paperwork he saw was not a warrant or other court order.
"It struck me as extraordinary," said Betts, who added that his client was in court expressly to resolve the misdemeanor charges so we would not run into problems with immigration.
The report of federal agents looking for suspects at the Blackwell-Thurman Criminal Justice Center and the Heman Sweatt Travis County Courthouse comes three weeks after an ICE enforcement operation centered on Austin and four other metro areas across the US that led to the arrests of 683 people.
In the past, deportation proceedings in Travis County have largely been prompted by an arrest that led to immigration checks. But during the four-day enforcement operation, ICE officials were out in the community, pulling people over and taking them in.
The mid-February ICE raids fueled speculation that Austin was being singled out because of recent controversy over newly elected Sheriff Sally Hernandez's policy to deny most of the agency's requests to delay the release of inmates at the Travis County jail for immigration checks.

Three weeks after ICE raids, Austin immigrant community still panicked
When news of the ICE raids spread throughout Austin, area nonprofits organized, mobilized and improvised as fear ran through the city's immigrant community.
Carmen Zuvieta, a volunteer with the Austin-based nonprofit Grassroots Leadership, describes the days during Operation Crosscheck as days of madness. The criminal justice and immigration reform group has operated the ICE Out of Austin campaign for years.
Zuvieta became a leader in the campaign after her husband was deported about four years ago, leaving her to raise her two children on her own. She's spoken everywhere from City Hall to the University of Texas about the campaign, but since the ICE arrests of 51 people in the ICE raids, she has been volunteering around the clock.
"Although we expected there to be ICE raids, to be honest, I never thought it'd happen with this magnitude," Zuvieta said.
Three weeks after the enforcement operation, Zuvieta's cell phone hasn't stopped ringing. One day she's buying diapers for families who are here illegally and afraid to leave their homes and the next she's consoling mothers whose deported children are going back to countries where their lives are in danger.
There hasn't been a typical day for Zuvieta since the ICE raids. Her day begins at 6 a.m. and immediately checks her phone and social media to check on families and make sure no one else has been arrested. She's constantly answering calls and texts from distressed families while juggling her own full-time housekeeping job and family. Zuvieta dashes from community meetings to rallies to the homes of families who need a power of attorney in case they get deported and need to leave their children behind with someone.
"My cell phone is working at 100 and my body at zero," she said. But she converts the pain of having her family separated, she said, into energy to defend other families in fear.
"I see a future that's very dificult for many of these families," Zuvieta said. "But I think the pain of their children will transform into desire to make changes in this country." Read more about Three weeks after ICE raids, Austin immigrant community still panicked
Immigrants fearing deportation under Trump change routines
Around the country, President Donald Trump's efforts to crack down on the estimated 11 million immigrants living illegally in the U.S. have spread fear and anxiety and led many people to brace for arrest and to change up their daily routines in hopes of not getting caught.
An undocumented Guatemalan migrant mother and her son have called an Austin, Texas, church home for more than a year. Hilda Ramirez says they were fleeing the danger of their country and were caught by immigration authorities as they illegally crossed the border at Texas in 2014. After they were released from a holding facility, a pastor allowed them to live on church grounds.
The unease among immigrants has been building but intensified in recent weeks with ever-clearer signs that the Trump administration would jettison the Obama-era policy of focusing mostly on deporting those who had committed serious crimes.
The administration announced Tuesday that any immigrant in the country illegally who is charged with or convicted of any offense, or even suspected of a crime, will now be an enforcement priority. That could include people arrested for shoplifting or other minor offenses, or those who simply crossed the border illegally.
Some husbands and wives fear spouses who lack legal papers could be taken away. And many worry that parents will be separated from their U.S.-born children.
An organization in Austin, Texas, that runs a deportation hotline said it normally would receive one or two calls every few days. After recent immigration raids, the phone rang off the hook.
"We got over 1,000 phone calls in three days about the raids," said Cristina Parker, immigration programs director for Grassroots Leadership. "And certainly a lot of those were people who wanted information about the raids saying, 'I'm scared, I'm worried, what can I do?'... A lot of them were people who were impacted by the raids who saw a friend or family be taken." Read more about Immigrants fearing deportation under Trump change routines

I had a very old piece of patchwork that I
bought years ago which I was saving for
something special.
Today was something special.
I had a go at cross stitching a heart.
It was extremely tiny.
What a fabulous way to keep memories.
You must have a magic wand that you can wave as you always have just the right fabric, haha. Love the idea of a hanging pocket for those loose coins and a hankie, beautiful, Lucey xReplyDelete
Daisy it is just beautiful and I wonder who initially had the time and patience to create such a lovely piece? I learned a lot of my crafting skills from my mum when I was really small, probably 6 or 7 ish and I'm so pleased I took it all in. My sewing leaves something to be desired but I am nothing if not keen!ReplyDelete
It's beautiful! I'm definitely going to go to an Hope and Elvis workshop now! I'm inspired! Ada :)ReplyDelete
That is so lovely, wonderful that the patchwork created so long ago now becomes part of your happy memory pocket. Thank you for sharing your brilliant day.
I have recently been reminded how some people inspire you and some people leave you flat and blow out your creative flame. I joined an 8 week Quilting Course, I went for 3 weeks, learnt next to nothing, started to dread going, so let them know I wouldn't be continuing. What a different feeling I have had when going to Hope and Elvis. I think I need to look at Louise's forthcoming workshops.
Carol xx
Dear Carol,
Louise's workshops are always inspiring. As I run workshops too I try and go regularly to keep my inspiration flowing. I'm sorry to hear you didn't have a good time on your course. It is such a disappointment when you don't have a good time. Hope to see you there soon. xxx
oh lovely, lovely! I met Ellie Evans a couple of years ago at a Selvedge Fair. All these ideas are creeping back now that I've finished the MA and I love your gorgeous fabric pieces :)ReplyDelete
How lovely all these images are and your pocket looks a real wonderment- perfect stitching. I used to make these back in the 70s from old pillow cases (I think I got the idea from a history book - do these date from Tudor times or something?). I might have to go back to my memory banks! Lovely photo of you with your mum too
Best wishes
I loved reading your post and it reminded me of my Mom and how she would let me pick out the flour sacks when she bought flour. Those sacks were turned into the fabric of my school dresses. She was a wonderful seamstress and turn those sacks into very, very pretty dresses. Good Memories:)
Thanks for the memories.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
That is really really lovely. I love the idea that you are using something so old and beautiful and adding your own work to it. My Mum taught me to sew as well. So special to create something reminding you of everything your Mum has taught you. Look forward to seeing it finished. Fiona xReplyDelete
Happy Christmas, hope all is well with you.
Carol xx
So glad I found your wonderful blog! I have been to Hope and Elvis for a couple of courses and love popping into Decorative Country Living when in the area :) I am now a happy follower!

What is AUTOMOTIVE MASTERPIECES exhibitions lab®?
It's a cultural catalyst to promote the collective enjoyment of the heritage of the motor vehicle whether for pleasure, learning or work.
The mission: To involve manufacturers, coachbuilders, museums, collections and collectors to tell the story of the heritage of the motor vehicle in a joint virtual display of genuine masterpieces. To improve the historical research on cars and on companies, on the people and on the events related their history.
The vision: We believe in making the motoring heritage openly accessible in a digital way, to promote the exchange of ideas and knowledge as well as through exhibitions.
The objectives: To trace the history of all specific chassis through dedicated website. Our plan is to create virtual exhibitions to celebrate anniversaries and specific themes, with the aim to eventually turn them - at least in part - into real exhibitions and/or illustrated catalogues.
The strategic road map:
- to work with manufacturers, coachbuilders, museums, collections, collectors, archives and libraries to supply all the necessary data input and make the census sustainable
- to bring masterpieces whose information have already been digitized into the portal
- to encourage and support the digitization of more masterpieces
- to make the motoring heritage available through the web portal
- to create new ways for people to engage with their motoring heritage
The project could not exist or continue to develop without the help and support of its many contributors: historians, experts, journalists, registers, clubs and partners. They join the project for a range of reasons, the key one being knowledge sharing.
We are a growing network to create a library of AUTOMOTIVE MASTERPIECES.
The information is available in English. The website is being continually updated for content and technology.

This is my first Friday blog hop where I get to show off my new blog!
So much has been happening lately I have neglected my blog a bit, only having time on Fridays to join in the blog hops.
There are some major changes happening in my life which will hopefully have my blog black on track and getting at least a review a week up. I have some planned for December so please keep an eye out. I may even do a giveaway for Christmas so keep an eye out on my giveaway page.
Since I don't have a review I will do something a little unrelated just because I am so happy with how life is turning at the moment I need to show it off a little :)
My week so far....
I waited for 3 days for my new dining table to be delivered, the couriers kept calling to say it would come on certain days then it wouldn't. Very annoying but once it finally got here my kids were so delighted that my son and I picked out place mats and he set the table once we came home (he is 5 and I didn't even know he knew how to set a table.)
The significance of the dining table is that we haven't had one that we sat at for dinner since my son was born. Now that he is heading off to school next year I want us to all sit and eat together properly which seems to be working well so far.
I got myself a new job! I work in a high stress environment at the moment so I have applied for a million and one things (I would have been happy to scrub dishes at this point, just to lower my stress levels) So in early December I will be working for Maccas! I know it may sound strange to be excited by that, but it's a job where I don't have to deal with as much crap as I do now and I can be trained to move up in the food chain without it taking over my entire life like me current job has. My son has already asked if he can come to work with me though, and my husband says he wants free food :/ I think I will just be banning Maccas food all together once I work there.
Other than that we are getting into the spirit of Christmas and have been making a glittery mess all over the place. We have also invested in new Christmas decorations this year.
That's enough of my rambling, on to the blog hop madness that is Fridays!
Parajunkee hosts the ever popular Follow My Book Blog Friday. Her featured blogger this week is Ginger at GReads
The question of the week is How long have you been book blogging?
I would say around 5-6 months. So I am not as established as most but I keep plugging away and trying to get this blog of mine going.
Crazy For Books hosts the one and only weekend long book blog hop. The question of the week over that way is
Since Thanksgiving is coming up next week, let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!
Since Thanksgiving is coming up next week, let's use this week's Hop to share what we are most thankful for and what our holiday traditions are!
I am an Aussie, so don't follow any traditions due to not celebrating Thanksgiving. But I am always thankful for good friends, family and being able to spend time with both.
Happy blog hop bloggers!
