Malheur County targeted for gold, uranium mines
By Richard Cockle, The Oregonian

Richard Cockle/The OregonianAndrew Bentz and Andy Gaudielle of Calico Resources USA stand atop an estimated 425,000 ounces of gold in the bowels of Grassy Mountain south of Vale. The company hopes to win over environmentalists and get permission to sink mine shafts into the mountain to claim the rich lode, which geologists say could include an additional 500,000 ounces of gold.
ONTARIO — SprawlingMalheur County could soon be in the spotlight as a mining hub — or a battleground ofuranium and gold mining interests vs. environmentalists trying to protect its lonesome sagebrush landscape.Australian-owned Oregon Energy LLC hopes to mine 18 million pounds of yellowcake uranium from the southeastern Oregon high desert 10 miles west of McDermitt near the Oregon-Nevada boundary. The go-ahead to mine the so-called Aurora uranium deposit could bring up to 250 construction jobs to the county, followed by 150 mining jobs.
Meanwhile, Calico Resources USA Corp., a subsidiary of a Vancouver, B.C., company, may seek permits this month to chemically extract microscopic gold from a high desert butte south of Vale called Grassy Mountain, a project likely to create another 100 jobs.

Mining history
Gold: Mining once was a major part of Oregon's economy and the most sought-after mineral was gold. Since its discovery in Oregon in the mid-1800s, miners have wrested an estimated 5.5 million ounces of gold from the state's streams and underground "hardrock" mines. At today's prices, that gold would bring about $1,616 per ounce. Half to two-thirds was found in northeastern Oregon. Baker County and Josephine County have had the most active claims.
Uranium: Uranium was first discovered in Oregon in the 1930s and a small amount was mined on Bear Creek Butte, 40 miles southeast of Bend, in 1960. The White King and Lucky Lass mines near Lakeview came later and there are known deposits of uranium in Baker, Clackamas, Crook, Curry, Harney, Jackson, Lake, Malheur, Polk and Union counties.
The proposals will be the first real test of the 1991 chemical processing mining law passed by the Legislature in response to a debate over mining's future in Oregon, said environmentalist Larry Tuttle. The law ushered in tough new bonding requirements to weed out marginal operators and guarantee environmental cleanup.Approval of the Grassy Mountain project could trigger a deluge of new chemical mining in Malheur County. Up to a dozen gold deposits similar to Grassy Mountain dot the high desert between the Snake River town of Huntington and Jordan Valley.
The county, sparsely populated with only 31,313 people, could use new jobs, said County Commissioner Dan Joyce. Its unemployment rate in November was 10.3 percent, compared with 9.1 percent for Oregon and 8.6 percent for the nation.
Mining companies have passed up the county in the past because of Oregon's environmentally conscious reputation, Joyce said. But this time, the sluggish local and state economies, higher mineral prices and technological advances in mining and cleanup could open a door to mining, he said.
"I'm thinking people are a lot hungrier now than they were," Joyce said.
Uranium mine plan
Oregon Energy's proposal calls for extracting ore from a mile-long, 600-foot wide, 250-foot deep open pit 10 miles west of McDermitt and 3 miles north of the Oregon-Nevada border. The mine, adjoining the former Bretz Mercury Mine, a contaminated open-pit site from the 1960s, would cost $200 million to develop and uranium extraction could continue for up to 20 years, said Oregon Energy President Lachlan Reynolds.
Plans call for the ore to be crushed and mixed with an acid solution in enclosed vats to leach out the uranium, he said. The acid would bond with the uranium and when dry become a sand-like powder called uranium oxide concentrate, or yellowcake. Yellowcake would bring $52 per pound and could fuel nuclear reactors or be processed into weapons.
Tuttle, spokesman for the Portland-based Center for Environmental Equity, foresees environmental problems.
The likelihood of sulfuric acid being used in processing the ore means it could remain in the mine tailings after milling, he said. The snag is that sulfuric acid tends to continuously leach out heavy metals that occur naturally in waste rock and tailings, contaminating ground water.
"Just because you are through with the processing, years later you still have the issue with that interaction," he said.
But probably the biggest environmental hurdle for the Aurora mine would be the release of mercury, Tuttle said. "The whole Owyhee Reservoir has been affected by naturally occurring background mercury," and uranium mining could release more, he said.
Gold mine proposal
Environmental considerations first thrust Grassy Mountain into the consciousness of Oregonians in the late 1980s and early '90s when Newmont Gold Co. proposed introducing Nevada-style open-pit cyanide heap-leach gold mining there.
Low gold prices ultimately prompted Newmont to write off its $33.8 million investment and abandon plans to mine Grassy Mountain in 1995, but only after the site came to symbolize the conflict between economic development and environmental activism in eastern Oregon.
Calico Resources would take a dramatically different approach, said Andrew Bentz of Ontario, spokesman for Calico. The company proposes to sink an 850-foot underground shaft or tunnel to remove 1,000 tons of ore per day from Grassy Mountain, he said.
The operation expects to remove at least 425,000 ounces of gold from the mountain. The company's investment and exploration costs probably will total $100 million before mining begins, said Calico project manager Andy Gaudielle.
Mineral-bearing rock would be milled for microscopic gold in a closed chemical process that wouldn't include the bird-attracting open settling ponds of diluted cyanide that worried Newmont's opponents, said Bentz, a retired Malheur County sheriff.
Mining and reclamation of Grassy Mountain would take about 12 years, unless new gold discoveries are made, he said.
Bentz believes Calico won't face the level of environmental opposition that attended Newmont's proposal.
OREGON DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIESAn open-pit uranium mine is proposed on this high desert site in southeastern Oregon's Malheur County — the same ground where the old Bretz Mercury Mine (shown here) once stood. Uranium, mercury, silver, gold and other heavy metals often are found in the same areas, geologists say. Mercury was discovered here in 1931, and state mining records show that 152,000 tons of ore were mined in 1937. More mining took place during the 1940s and '50s, and at one point the Bretz was one of the largest high-grade mercury mines in the nation.
Reynolds, the Oregon Energy chief, said mining companies no longer can operate in ways that caused the environmental problems of the past. Improvements in mining technology result in more efficient and environmentally responsible operations, he said."We will have to post substantial financial bonds to ensure that there is full reclamation of the site to an approved plan when mining ends," Reynolds said.
Only 5 percent of the nation's domestic-use uranium is produced within U.S. borders, although the United States takes more than 20 percent of its electricity from nuclear power plants, Reynolds said.
The most likely buyer of Aurora uranium would be a U.S. electricity utility, he said. He estimated the mine could become the source of up to 30 percent of uranium produced in the U.S.
Public hearings will be held after the companies apply for permits to begin mining, said state geologist Vicki McConnell of Portland.
Sixty-one acres of Grassy Mountain is patented, private mining land, but substantial portions of both sites are on federal land administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Both sites are remnant volcanic regions where geothermal and hydrothermal activity has pulled heavy metals and other substances close to the surface, McConnell said.
Calico hopes to begin taking gold from Grassy Mountain in five years, but the regulatory pathway is likely to be longer for the Aurora mine because uranium is involved.
In addition to the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council, the U.S. Department of Energy and the federal Environmental Protection Agency must review the uranium mine.
BLM permits will be required for tailing piles and the use of desert roads for both the uranium and gold mining.
Oregon has a process in place to allow mining to proceed if resources can be extracted profitably and in a way that's environmentally safe, McConnell said.
Whether that's the case here has yet to be determined, she said. "Geologically, we know there is gold in Grassy Mountain and we know there is uranium in the McDermitt area," she said.

Liberty Fight – by Martin Hill
Steven E. Grasty, the 'County Judge' in Burns, Oregon who told the Oregon protesters that they owe $75,000 per day to occupy the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, is an 'Ancient Free and Accepted Mason' – and a 'Senior Deacon' at the 'Robert Burns Masonic Lodge No. 97.' The Craft meets on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at 7:00 pm, That's tonight folks, so heads up.
(Proselyte Noahide Useless Idiot of the jews religion unto Satan…….RP)
You can see their 'officer' roster here, Grasty is listed sixth from the top, and his phone number is publicly listed, "Steve Grasty 541-493-2896"
Located 31.4 miles south of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (located at 36391 Sodhouse Lane, Princeton, OR 97721) is the Robert Burns Masonic Lodge No. 97, (at 1210 Taylor Street, Burns, OR 97720. Phone: 541-573-2220.)
The craft's 'about page' states
"Robert Burns Lodge is a Masonic Lodge with over 118 years of History. Chartered in June 12, 1890 when Burns Oregon was still the wild outback of Cattle ranches and timber. Our 1st Worshipful Master was C.A. Sweek. Our Current Master is Scott Shaw. The original Lodge met in the Odd Fellows Hall. In March of 1894 the Lodge moved to a regular meeting hall rented from P.F. Stenger. In 1910 a new Lodge Hall was constructed at 406 North Broadway. In 1977 a new Lodge Hall was constructed on the hill at 1210 W. Taylor St. just West of the Cemetery. On October 1, 1997 the Lodge name was changed to Robert Burns to reflect the heritage of our name and pay full tribute to, Robert Burns (1759-1796), A Scottish poet, for which the City of Burns & the Lodge were named. Today, Robert Burns Lodge has a membership of close one hundred members. It meets on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month at 7:00 pm for Stated Meetings.The Lodge is dark in July and August except that, in August we hold our world famous Malheur Cave Event, in the large subterranean, lava tube known as 'Malheur Cave'�.
Grasty's occult group takes part in an annual "Malheur Cave Meeting" where they honor 'NEW MASTER MASONS' and 'WORSHIPFUL MASTERS.' On their website, they advertised their recently held event, where they 'Welcomed their Brethren' to the craft's 73rd Annual cave event.
They noted
"All Master Masons are Invited to Attend"
Note: There are no facilities at Malheur Cave for Wives or non-Masonic friends.SPECIAL NOTE: We have hired portable toilet service this year, two extra porta-potties with cleaning service. Those of you who have been here before knows what that means…."
So… no ladies or non-masons allowed to use thei 'facilities,' and they have a "cleaning service", and that "Those of you who have been here before knows what that means…."
I'm almost afraid to ask what that means, if their gathering is anything the like Bohemnain Grove, which President Richard Nixon said was the most 'faggy' thing he'd ever seen.
Nasty Grasty's craft offers their facilities for rental, except on masonic meeting nights. They note "Rental price is determined by the extent of use required and the time period, and is determined on a case by case basis. Please contact our Worshipful Master Scott Shaw."
It turns out that Nasty, I mean Grasty, is not a court judge, appointed the sheriff who told the patriots that they have to get out of Burns Oregon.
KTVZ pointed out that although Grasty is known by the title of 'judge,' he is "not a court judge, but actually the title for the head county commissioner in many rural counties."
Grasty recently went to Washington, D.C. "to talk land issues." He added that he's "angry at Bundy" and that he had to teach his wife how top shoot her gun because she's so afraid of what's going on. Grasty also plans on meeting with lawmakers and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.
Grasty has also accused the militia is harassing and threatening local residents, and has said that Ammon Bundy is dangerous.
NASTY GASTY also had a key role in appointing current Sheriff David Ward, who has told Bundy and the others that their "time is running out."
On March 17, 2015, Grasty testified before the Oregon Legislature bemoaning the dire state of economy in Harney County.
"Our county unemployment rate stands at 9.1% or 150% of the statewide average, and 23.4% of our families fall below the national poverty rate. The current drought conditions are causing the one economic driver we have left in the community to reduce its primary asset, cattle. And we are faced with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service having to decide whether or not to place the Greater Sage Grouse on the Federal Endangered Species List by early this fall. Things are tough but we are survivors.""…Without the commitment of the state enabled in HB3334 the same types of dire consequences that occurred in local areas after the listing of spotted owl in southern Oregon. The towns of Burns and Hines are economically dependent upon our residents. While some visitation certainly occurs reductions in any area of our economy are immediately apparent here. 130 miles to the next larger town does make us interdependent on each other. Our small businesses who depend on the agriculture economy will be impacted. Our irrigation suppliers could be faced with layoffs as a result of downsizing of ag businesses, our veterinary businesses would face reductions in business for the same reasons. The gas stations, downtown retail businesses, metal fabrication business, maybe even the movie theatre and restaurants will see a downturn as a result of restrictions on the few economic opportunities we have."

I am not going to reveal my inside source who informed me about Grasty being a mason. I have always been against the freemasons, my dad taught me about them when I was a kid. As pointed out in our must-see Freemasonry Archives, the masons are devil worshippers. Regarding the masons, Pope Pius VIII said "Their Law is Untruth: Their God is the Devil and their Cult is Turpitude." Pope Pius XII, in his Address to the Seventh Week Pastoral Adaptation Conference in Italy (1958) said "…the roots of modern apostasy lay in scientific atheism, dialectical materialism, rationalism, illuminism, laicism, and Freemasonry – which is the mother of them all."
As Pope Leo XIII explained in his Encyclical HUMANUM GENUS 'On Freemasonry' in 1884,
"We wish it to be your rule first of all to tear away the mask from Freemasonry, and to let it be seen as it really is; and by sermons and pastoral letters to instruct the people as to the artifices used by societies of this kind in seducing men and enticing them into their ranks, and as to the depravity of their opinions and the wickedness of their acts. As Our predecessors have many times repeated, let no man think that he may for any reason whatsoever join the masonic sect, if he values his Catholic name and his eternal salvation as he ought to value them. Let no one be deceived by a pretense of honesty. It may seem to some that Freemasons demand nothing that is openly contrary to religion and morality; but, as the whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal, to join with these men or in any way to help them cannot be lawful."
Pedophile pervert George H.W. Bush, the drug-kingpin CIA Terrorist, is a 33rd degree mason.
John F. Kennedy, the nation's first and only Roman Catholic president, gave this speech shortly before he was assassinated:
"The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating it's arbitrary actions. Even today, there is little value in assuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control."
James Madison, The Fourth President of the United States said: "From the number and character of those who now support the charges against Freemasonry, I cannot doubt that it is at least susceptible of abuse, outweighing any advantages promised by its patrons."
NASTY GRASTY has had to Publically Admit he is NO JUDGE in Any Court in the United States of America. Meaning Sheriff Ward Has bowed down to an imposter…..What the hell is he Going to Washington DC for , but to cover their filthy corrupt trail and Tails?

Harney Co. official is angry
BURNS, Ore. –For Harney County Judge Steve Grasty, this is all personal — not just for his community, but his family.
Grasty was emotional Friday when he told NewsChannel 21 how his wife recently asked him for a refresher on how to shoot her pistol, because she's so frightened with what's going on.
(She has a GUN?????????????????? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, she is ARMED……..RP.)
The county judge (not a court judge, but actually the title for the head county commissioner in many rural counties) said nothing makes him more angry than that. He's fed up with the Bundys –– but also fed up with federal land management.
So Grasty is flying to Washington, D.C., next week to try to get the ball rolling on some changes.
But that doesn't mean he's glad the militia members turned their town and lives topsy-turvy over the past week.
"All of that, every bit of my anger is at Mr. Bundy," he said. "Leave our community and go back to your family. We know how to take care of this one, and you are not helping."
It's been a roller-coaster week of emotions for Grasty. He said it's especially tough to go to work at the county offices, with added security measures in place as a result of the outside arrivals.
"I've personally been in tears walking up to this building, and looking at how we've made this a fortress," he said.
(Crocadile tears….RP)
They are measures of caution against a group many here feel both connected to and repulsed by — a small armed militia occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
A majority of the community, and the sheriff, have asked them to leave, to no avail.
With no end in sight, Grasty is vowing to do the one thing he knows he can: He's flying to the nation's capital.
He said although Harney County is fed up with these outsiders, many feel they bring valid points: Government is too intrusive and lands are not being managed properly.
"I've spent 17 years as county judge and we haven't gotten there," Grasty said. "And it deeply saddens me an armed militia is what it takes to get the focus."
Next week, Grasty plans to meet with lawmakers and Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.
He said he's outlined specific changes he hopes will bring more local control to these lands, which are vastly under federal authority.
One other community frustration: land managers never last long: "Many times we see a turnover in the second or third year, and we never build relationships."
Grasty is hopeful a solution is on the horizon, although he's clear he'll never give Bundy credit.
As for Bundy's followers, Grasty is afraid they could be here for the long haul.
But with schools set to reopen Monday, after a week closed over safety concerns, many are hoping things get back to something close to normal.
(Go figure your absolute apathetic complacency…Maraka………….RP)

RE: Denial of Application for Grazing Permit Renewal 3602564 – Hammond Ranches Inc.
Dear Rhonda Karges:
It has come to my attention that the grazing permit held and renewed by Hammonds Ranches Inc. since 1964 has been denied. I strongly disagree with this decision for a number of reasons; however my main objection is the increased risk of wild land fire based on increased fuel loading. The unintended consequence places my private property and retirement home at increased risk for a large catastrophic wildfire.
I own 172 acres on Steens Mt south of the Hammond property including a retirement log home that I have been building since 1995. Every year since 1964 starting in the spring, the cattle have made their way up the mountain from Hammond's main ranch crossing the grazing allotments and their private property reducing the fuel load as they go. By Sept and the fall lighting storms the cattle are grazing adjacent to and on my property. As you know, reducing the fuels reduces the potential severity of rangeland fires. This year the grasses are up to my knees.
My second concern is how this decision is in direct conflict with the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act of 2000. I have listed two out of the 13 main purposes. The purposes of this act are the following, (1) to maintain the cultural, economic, ecological, and social health of the Steens Mountain area in Harney County, Oregon; and (11) to promote viable and sustainable grazing and recreation operations on private and public lands.
It appears that you did not take into consideration the fact that Hammond Ranches have in fact been good stewards of the land for the last 50 years. They have grazed cattle on this land since 1964 and this grazing has done no harm to the land. By denying their renewal request you have substantially impacted the value of their ranching operation and are negatively impacting their economic viability, not to mention a total disregard of promoting viable and sustainable grazing.
My final concern is the rational and methodology the BLM used to justify the denial of the grazing permit, of not having a satisfactory record of performance. If I would have only read the document 4100 (ORB070)P Notice of Final Decision to Deny Application for Grazing Permit Renewal, I would probably have the opinion that the Hammonds where guilty of far more than they where convicted of in the court case United States of America v. Steven and Dwight Hammond No.6:10-cr-60066-HO.
However, I have read the transcripts of the trial and transcripts of the Honorable Michael R. Hogan sentencing, so I am aware of the additional information presented at the trial which paints a very different picture than what was included in the BLM grazing permit denial document.
It appears that the methodology the BLM used was to selectively use court testimony to support the grazing denial justification and exclude facts that would not support their position. One example is the 2001 Hardie-Hammond Arson, Dusty Hammond testimony narrative pg 5-7. What was excluded was the court judge at sentencing rejected Dusty's version of what happened, based on age and bias and additional testimony from the defense. There is also no mention that Steven Hammond contacted the BLM prior to lighting a fire on Hammond property to burn off invasive species, which then spread to approx 139 acres of public land. Neither is the narrative of the trial judge that found the 2001 fire had, at most temporarily damaged sagebrush and that while those damages might have technically been greater than $100.00, and "mother nature" had remedied any harm. Also excluded, is that the BLM supported the judges' conclusion, and determined the 2001 fire improved that portion of the federal land that the fire had spread. The BLM document does in no way reflect the total testimony of the 2001 fire and outcome of all the testimony.
The same bias is true in the narrative used to describe the 2006 Krumbo Butte Fire. There is no mention that Steve Hammond admitted to starting a back burn to protect private property. There is no mention that the fire he was convicted of starting burned about 1 acre of land and the jury found the fire caused less than $1000.00 damage.
Throughout the BLM grazing permit denial document, reference is made to the Hammonds endangering the lives of numerous individuals including firefighters. The Hammonds where not convicted of this charge and it should not be included as fact in a government document. People are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The rational used to deny the renewal includes events and opinions that where not proven in court.
The fact is a fire was started on Hammond property to burn invasive species by Steve Hammond and Dwight Hammond in 2001. Steve Hammond notified the BLM prior to starting the fire. The fire got away from them and burned 139 acres of public land.
In 2006 lighting caused a large fire and Steve Hammond started a back burn to protect private property. He admits starting a back burn and 1 acre of public land was damaged.
My personal opinion is facts of the convictions does not support the BLM's view of, "the Hammonds fire-setting maliciously and knowingly placed public recreationists, firefighters, and BLM range staff at high risk just to further Hammond Ranches, Inc.'s grazing interests".
I have owned property and lived on the mountain since 1995. I know of numerous instances where the local ranchers have started fires to burn invasive species. I also am aware of the practice to back-burn to control the spread of a rangeland fire. I don't consider people who start back burns as arsonists.
In closing, I believe by removing the Hammond cattle from their historic grazing allotments the BLM has increased the risk for a large catastrophic wildfire and puts my home at higher risk.
I believe that the permit renewal denial is in direct conflict with the Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act of 2000.
I do not believe the Hammonds have demonstrated an unacceptable record of performance managing the grazing allotments in the past ten years, or the last 50 years. I don't consider either Dwight or Steve Hammond arsonists. One acre of public land was burned in the last 10 years with the intent of protecting private property, and for this act you deny their grazing permit????
Thank-you for your time.
Very truly,
Ruth E Danielsen

Lotta Hitschmanova was noted for her incredibly long work days, and her unwavering devotion to helping people in far off lands. She did have one passionate hobby, however, music.
I used to play the piano, but I had to give it up, of course.

No, how could I, I don't even take a little radio with me.

Read Carlen's inspiring story from the December 2018 issue of Guideposts magazine!
Hi, everyone. I'm Carlen Maddux. My wife, Martha, was only 50 years old when she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. I was 52 and our three children were still in high school and college. We lived through this crisis for a long 17 years.
When we got the, news our world wasn't turned upside down, it imploded before us. I write about this experience in a book that I recently wrote, A Path Revealed—How Hope, Love, and Joy Found Us Deep in a Maze Called Alzheimer's.
There are a ton of good guidebooks out today about what to do and how to do it and when to do it. There were very few in 1997 when Martha was diagnosed. There are wonderful websites out there about helping the caregiver, helping them—how to live through this, how to work through this, and how to respond to your loved one.
The other thing that you need to be aware of is—and it took me a little while to get into this—ask for help. Ask for help from your children. Ask for help from your family. Ask for help from your friends.
Our two oldest children when they got home from college—graduated from college—gave me the best gift I received during these 17 years. They came to me and they said, "Daddy, we'd like to give you a weekend a month off." And I picked up on that offer immediately. And they let me do whatever I wanted to do for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And that was just a wonderful escape.
Ask your friends for help. Maybe your loved one has friends who would be willing to get with him or her and be with them during the course of the week. Maybe someone can organize your handful of friends to come in, say in pairs, and to go to lunch, to go take a walk, to go to a movie, just anything to get out of the house and to be with somebody. So that's just very important to involve other people. Your friends love you. Our friends loved us, but we were shy about asking.
And I'm just saying, get over the shyness as quickly as you can, because as a caregiver we are very susceptible to burnout. And we don't know that we're going to get burned out until we are fully immersed in hot boiling water, and we are just burned. And so it's just important to pace ourselves in advance of that and to have that kind of help as best we can.
Another great idea I've heard and that we did was, just fill your house with music. Martha loved to dance and sing. And that was very important when Martha began being unable to talk and express herself, but she could communicate through her dancing and singing. And that was important to us as we moved forward.
It took me a while to understand that a crisis like Alzheimer's is not just a physical issue. This kind of a crisis, well, really, almost any kind of crisis is embedded with emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues that have got to be recognized and dealt with as best you can. This certainly was the case with Martha. But it was not only the case with Martha, it was with me, as well.
The issues that I'm talking about are fear, resentment, depression, guilt, stigma. You name it, and we experienced it. And so to keep absorbing those things, rather than working with a professional counselor or spiritual mentor was—would be almost a death knell for us. It was just very important in my case to be working with mentors that came across us and the path that we were traveling.
The best advice that I ever received during these 17 years was, Carlen, remember to be gentle on yourself. You're going to go through a lot of frustrations. You're not trying to be perfect. There is no way to be perfect. So be gentle on yourself, forgive yourself, love yourself, know that you are loved. That was extremely important.

Direct Music Service is proud to present episode 3 of a brand new video feature titled "Beyond The Decks" which focuses on DJs who run businesses outside of DJ'ing.
In Episode three of Beyond the Decks we visit with Shaun O'Neale, winner of Master Chef Season 7. Shaun O'Neale has been orchestrating dance floors from the DJ booth for almost 20 years and refining his culinary skills in home kitchens for just as long. In the late 90s O'Neale found his love for electronic music and quickly climbed the DJ ranks in the underground rave scene, performing regularly with some of the pioneers of the dance music industry. In Tampa Florida in 2003 Shaun would begin to move out of the underground scene and into the mainstream taking residency at some of South Florida's most legendary nightclubs and performing at some of the biggest music festivals of the time. Lured by the bright lights of Sin City Shaun O'Neale relocated to Las Vegas in 2008 and quickly became a staple in the Vegas pool and nightclub scene holding residencies at major venues like Liquid Pool, Bare Pool, Haze Nightclub, Light Nightclub and Daylight Pool just to name a few O'Neale was also in high demand for major corporate events such as Michael Jordan's Celebrity Golf Tournament, Justin Timberlake's Shriners Open and annual events for Playboy Magazine. In 2010 O'Neale became the first DJ to ever perform on Las Vegas Blvd. for a New Years Eve celebration in front of over 100,000 people with the beautiful Caesars Palace as his backdrop.
One thing has remained constant for Shaun O'Neale through the crazy years in the DJ booth and that is his absolute obsession with all things food. Spending years developing and fine tuning his culinary skills O'Neale came out of the home kitchen and in to the spotlight in 2016 on season 7 of the hit FOX show MasterChef. With his elevated plating and big bold flavors O'Neale quickly became a front runner and soon began to dominate the competition, with 8 individual wins starting with the coveted white apron and ending with the MasterChef trophy. Shaun was victorious in 3 Mystery Box Challenges as well as 3 elimination challenges setting a record for individual wins in the MasterChef kitchen with his incredible flavors and unique eye for creating stunning plates. Having the honor to cook for and learn from true masters in the culinary world like Gordon Ramsay, Christina Tosi, Wolfgang Puck, Daniel Boulud, Richard Blais, Aaron Sanchez, Edward Lee and Kevin Sbraga has only intensified Shaun's passion in the kitchen as he now moves on to the next phase as a Chef, DJ and Author of "My Modern American Table".
Kick your feet up and enjoy this episode of Beyond the Decks and see how one DJ has turned his love for food into the winner of Master Chef, his own cook book and much more.

HomeReviewAndroid Tablet vs iPad For Drawing, Graphic Design, Photo Editing
Android Tablet vs iPad For Drawing, Graphic Design, Photo Editing
I will review the comparison of Android Tablet vs Apple iPad when used for drawing. Remember here I only write from my opinion when using it for drawing, design, photo editing and the like, nothing else.
Because lately many are asking, which is better iPad or Android Tablet. In the $400-500 price range, the Samsung S6 Lite, for example, already includes the S-Pen, while the iPad doesn't include the Pen and you have to buy the Pen separately.
But it's different from my post yesterday, iPad vs. Pen Display, where I am a member of each plus-minus and still give you the final choice as readers. In here, these are the reasons why even though Android tablets are cheaper, I still recommend them to the iPad.
Here's the reason:
1. Software Update and Security Update iPad OS (the new name for iOS for iPad) is guaranteed for 5 years and above. For example, the iPad Air Gen 2, which was released 7 years ago, still gets an update to iPad OS 15.
As for Android? Generally it's only 1-2 years, after that it can't be updated and patched again. As a result, performance slows down, Apps start not running, etc.
2. iPad applications tend to be more complete and more mature, for example on the iPad there is Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, Fresco and none on Android.
Meanwhile, those that both exist are like CSP, as we know CSP on Android is still a bit hit and miss, such as the playful Palm rejection and also performance or lag problems. Or if you want to undo you have to raise your hand first. Alias ??is not as polished as the iPad.
3. The iPad OS ecosystem is more mature than Android. iOS developers used to be directed by Apple to recompile the applications they made for the iPad which had a bigger screen and different dimensions.
While Android, most Android Tablet Apps are Smartphone versions of Apps that are stretched so wide when running on Android Tablets.
Making the experience in general using an Android Tablet feel less polished.
4. Apple Pencil is still superior to the S-Pen because of the very small response time and the S-Pen on the S6 Lite, for example, there is still a delay of around 20-30ms.
Creating images on Android doesn't feel as natural on iPad.
5. Performance, for example, at a price of 6 million. The closest competitor to the 8th Gen iPad is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. The iPad 8th Gen uses the Apple A12 Bionic Chip while the Tab S6 Lite uses the Exynos 9611.
The Apple A12 Bionic Geekbench score is 2600 points while the Exynos 9611 Geekbench score is 1200 points aka the iPad 8th is more than 2x superior to the S6 Lite, making the slightly more expensive price justified.
Even the Exynos 9611 is still slightly slower than the Apple A10 Fusion which can be found on the iPad Gen 6 released 3 years ago (A10 Fusion 1300 ish Geekbench). While we know that Picture and Painting Apps are not light.
Those are 5 reasons why as much as possible if you really want to buy a tablet for drawing, just try to use an iPad.
If the budget is not strong enough to buy a new iPad + Pencil, the alternative can be to buy Second. Take the iPad Gen 6 + Pencil. where the iPad Gen 6 is still faster in spec and still has the advantages I wrote above.
Android on Tablets must be admittedly considered a stepchild by Google, even Google itself is now more focused on ChromeOS for tablets than Android for tablets. Making Developer Apps is also half-hearted in developing Apps for Android Tablets.
Currently the only intention is Samsung with One UI + Dex. But it means nothing when Developers are reluctant to make Apps with intent.
I think the only reason to choose an Android Tablet over an iPad is if your budget is only USD100-200.
But if your budget is in the $USD 400-500 range by all means, just go to the iPad.

Home News Wake County After Spiking Projects, Some Raleigh Council Members Are Having Second Thoughts
After Spiking Projects, Some Raleigh Council Members Are Having Second Thoughts
by Leigh Tauss
Two projects axed or paused by the Raleigh City Council this year may be resurrected after council members met with residents who say their voices weren't heard before the council's decisions were made.
On February 5, David Cox abruptly motioned to delay the $2 million River Bend Park project while staff looked into transferring its remaining funds to another park. Since acquiring land in Northeast Raleigh for the park in 2012, the city has spent $285,000 designing it and was preparing to solicit bids from contractors. A few weeks earlier, Stef Mendell had pushed to cancel a half-million-dollar sidewalk project along Oxford Road that also had been under development for five years, citing the complaints of a few residents.
After meeting with more residents since those votes, Cox and Mendell seem to be reversing course. Cox held a meeting with thirty River Bend community members last week, many of whom bought their homes with the expectation that the city was building a park there.
"It would have been great to have input before any decision was made," says Charlie Farrell, who purchased a house in the neighborhood last month. "It seemed like this wasn't something that was put on an agenda; we didn't have an opportunity to say anything before [Cox] went to council and proposed this, so we just felt like it was certainly a surprise to us."
After that meeting, Cox did an about-face, posting on social media: "I, frankly, screwed up this time." When the issue comes back before the council on March 19, he'll no longer support transferring the money.
"I normally go out and meet with people in neighborhoods and hear their concerns and take those concerns into consideration before making a proposal or a decision," Cox says. "In the case of River Bend Park, because it was new construction—it didn't actually exist yet—I failed to do that, and I should have."
After the INDY wrote about Mendell's move to kill the Oxford Road sidewalk, she met with Fallon Park residents on February 9, then posted on Facebook that she'd "like to explore what can be done to address both safety and environmental concerns." For now, she wants to hold the money the city planned to spend on the sidewalk in reserve—rather than diverting it to another project—while city staff, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission, and the Transportation Committee consider additional options. Depending on their recommendations, the city could eventually build a sidewalk along Oxford Road after all—or not.
Mendell also thinks the city should consider revisiting the sidewalk petition process in general.
For Nicole Stewart, the lone vote against canceling the sidewalk and moving the park funds, both cases "speak to how we're engaging residents."
"My sense is that some council members are hearing from some pretty vocal individuals and doing what they think is best for their own community, and they are acting from what they are hearing, as opposed to taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture of what's going on," she says. "We, as council members, need to do a better job of listening and thinking about the big picture, thinking about the future."

Opinion: Fresh Faces
Pete Pistone | @PPistone May 15, 2019 at 8:28 AM
There were a lot of things to like in last Saturday night's Digital Ally 400 at Kansas Speedway. Response to the 12th race of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season was overwhelmingly positive from most of NASCAR Nation and understandably so. The ingredients that included impact of the new rules package coupled with cooler conditions and additional track grip cooked up an interesting and entertaining race.
The plethora of statistics NASCAR pumps out after every race supports the view Kansas was a competitive race. But I tend to rely more on my eyes and ears than just a stat sheet and from that perspective Kansas passed with flying colors.
However there's another aspect that more than likely struck a chord among fans who viewed the race favorably. While the powerhouse teams were again competitive (oh by the way the score remains Joe Gibbs Racing/Team Penske 11 – everyone else 1), there were also names not usually seen at the front of the field making an impact.
Among the top-10 finishers on Saturday night were Alex Bowman, who actually has made a living finishing second the last three weeks, Jimmie Johnson, Tyler Reddick and Chris Buescher with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. ending up just outside the first 10 in 11th.
None of those results were flukes or the end result of fuel mileage or a weather shortened race or anything else out of the ordinary. Most if not all were at the front end of the field the entire race and parlayed the opportunity to finish well.
Reigning Xfinity Series champion Reddick was impressive all weekend long in one of his limited Cup starts for Richard Childress Racing. He qualified well and at one point had his car in the top five before finally sliding back to end up ninth. Ditto for Buescher, who gave JTG Daugherty Racing its biggest boost since rookie Ryan Preece performed so well in the Daytona 500. Buescher maintained a presence upfront most of the 400 miles.
Then there was Stenhouse Jr., who was challenging for the lead in the early going before needing to play catch-up late. When Kevin Harvick encountered his issues to take him from the top spot, Stenhouse Jr. moved up to second and there was legitimate discussion in the Roush Fenway Racing No. 17 pit about the possibility of winning the race and rightfully so.
NASCAR fans are the same as any other sport's followers in wanting to see something different from time to time. One of the goals of the new rules was to tighten up the field from top to bottom. There is still a very prominent line of demarcation between the elite and teams with smaller resources, but Saturday proved given the right conditions the rules can allow those organizations to be a bit more competitive.
The opinions expressed here are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the Motor Racing Network.

Flight preparations for large-scale survey of cetaceans
17-MAY-2016 - This week, a group of eight researchers from five European countries is together for a special meeting in Le Touquet, France, to prepare a survey to assess the abundance and distribution of cetaceans in the European North Sea and Atlantic waters. This research (SCANSIII) is the third of internationally coordinated large-scale surveys of porpoises, dolphins and whales in these waters.
Cetacean survey with ships and airplanes
The first SCANS survey was conducted in 1994 and the second in 2005. The results of SCANSIII are urgently needed to feed into the management and conservation of cetaceans such as the Harbour Porpoise. These animals can be highly impacted by human activities in our oceans, such as noise production or pollution.
The study area ranges from Norway to Portugal, and extends to the waters west of Scotland. The survey work will be conducted using three boats and seven airplanes, all staffed with experienced cetacean observers, over a period of 30 days.
Aerial surveys in planes with special windows
The aerial component of the surveys is being coordinated by IMARES and will include the deployment of seven planes. Each plane will consist of a team of three experienced cetacean observers. Two observers will be situated at so-called bubble windows, allowing them an unobstructed view of the sea below them. The third observer will continuously enter all data collected into a so-called toughbook computer.
Preparations and test flights
In Le Touquet, the cruise leaders of the seven survey planes are together to discuss, test and standardize the equipment and methodology to be used. The test flights were successfully completed, using a Brittan Norman plane (from Pixair) which allowed two teams to work in parallel. The results of the flights will feed into the final protocol for data collection so that on 27th June all seven planes with their survey teams can officially take off to conduct SCANSIII.

5 Must Have Products for Religious & Private Schools
The past year has been challenging to say the least but now there finally seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. What initially seemed like it would be a minor inconvenience for a few weeks has changed the way schools function dramatically - some of these changes may be with us for months or even years to come.
Here are 5 printed products that religious schools and private schools have found incredibly useful for their students, faculty, and parents as they adjust to this new normal:
1. Car Magnets
All of this social distancing has shown us how important it is to feel a sense of belonging. Car magnets are a small but mighty tool that can do just that. When it comes to private and religious schools, here are the most common uses for car magnets:
School spirit giveaways
Easy school fundraisers
Welcome packet giveaway for new families
Giveaway to graduating class
Here are some tips on how to create the perfect car magnets for your school.
2. Laptop Stickers
Many students as young as Kindergarten were issued their own computers during the pandemic when virtual learning was required. This has had a dramatic impact on younger learners as they have become computer literate much earlier than expected.
Even as many of them have returned to in-person learning, using their laptops have become part of daily life and adorning them with their favorite stickers has become a new hobby for most.
Like custom car magnets, laptop stickers make an amazing school spirit or fundraiser item for private and religious schools. When purchasing laptop stickers, it is important to purchase high quality decals that can be easily removed if necessary. These laptop stickers are incredibly durable and weatherproof which means they can also be used as bumper stickers, on rear windshields, doors, windows, desks, or even plastic safety dividers.
3. Social Distancing Floor Decals
Social distancing floor decals are still incredibly popular at schools - especially private and religious schools. They serve as a great safety reminder for students to stay distanced and can assist in controlling the flow of traffic.
Seeing these floor decals throughout campus also shows parents that your school is taking all necessary precautions to keep their children safe.
While social distancing floor decals are most popular, they are also available for tables / desks to show which areas are open and which are closed.
Why settle for generic floor decals when you can have something custom designed with your school's colors, logo, and or mascot?
4. ID Cards
Even prior to the pandemic, most private and religious schools have found the need to enhance their security protocols. This has made custom ID cards grow in popularity. Mask wearing has made ID cards even more popular for both students and faculty alike. Having an ID card clipped to your shirt or backpack can assist in security, identification, and as a reminder of the smiling face that is under the mask.
In addition to your school's logo, custom student ID cards can be printed with a unique photograph, name, student ID number, and more. Advanced security features can also be added if necessary to include bar codes, QR codes, magnetic stripes, or even RFID chips.
5. Parking Permits & Parent Pick Up Tags
Enhanced security measures and contactless pick up solutions are huge selling points in today's world and this certainly applies to private and religious schools.
Custom parking permits are available as decals, clings, or removable plastic hang tags. These can be used to allow access through a security gate for parents, provide parking privileges to students & faculty, or serve as a useful parent pick up tag to help improve efficiency at the car line.
These items can be used as a branding tool with your school's logo or sometimes for an added level of security, they are intentionally designed to be more generic.

2nd North Atlantic right whale death 'heartbreaking' for researchers
The death of a female right whale is a huge blow to the endangered species, says a right whale researcher.

The death of a female North Atlantic right whale is another huge blow to the endangered species, a right whale researcher says.
The whale, known as Punctuation, was spotted floating dead in the Gulf of St. Lawrence last Wednesday during a Transport Canada surveillance flight. She was nicknamed for the small scars on her head that looked like dashes and commas.
Tonya Wimmer, executive director of the Marine Animal Response Society in Halifax, said the whale was one of the more "reproductively successful females."
"That hits the population even harder," she said.

Uncertain future of North Atlantic right whale linked to tiny food source
She said the 38-year-old whale had already given birth to eight calves — her first in 1986 and her last in 2016. And she could have produced another 14 more calves in her lifetime.
"It's heartbreaking," she said.
2nd right whale death in 2019
Wimmer said the animal is still floating at sea, but the body has been tagged by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, which is tracking the whale.
"The weather was not great so we do need her to come ashore to conduct a necropsy to try to figure out what happened," she said.
This is the second right whale death in the Gulf of St. Lawrence so far this year.
The carcass of a right whale known as Wolverine was discovered on June 4. The animal was towed to Miscou Island, where a necropsy was performed.
"Just losing yet another one, especially on top of one we lost only just over a few weeks ago now, makes it incredibly difficult for everyone involved on both sides of the border," she said.

Wimmer said biologists, researchers, conservation officers and government officials in Canada and the United States have been working hard to save the species.
"Because of that I think we have a really good chance of trying to turn the tide for this animal," she said. "Hopefully that is exactly the direction it will eventually go."
'Every animal counts'
No right whales died in the Gulf of St. Lawrence in 2018, but 12 were found dead the year prior.
"I think all of us, were hoping that was the last time we'd ever see one," she said.
Meanwhile, the federal government eased restrictions aimed at protecting North Atlantic right whales this year, based on data from 2018.
Wimmer said there are 411 North Atlantic right whales left worldwide and only 100 reproductively active females.
"From a perspective, with a population like this, which is so very, very small, every animal obviously counts, male or female," she said.
"But in the case of this particular situation, females are very, very important because it's not just them, it's every baby that they will have in their lifetime."

City Lights [Criterion Collection] [DVD] [1931]
SKU:30237156
Charles Chaplin was deep into production of his silent City Lights when Hollywood was overwhelmed by the talkie revolution. After months of anguished contemplation, Chaplin decided to finish the film as it began--in silence, save for a musical score and an occasional sound effect. Once again cast as the Little Tramp, Chaplin makes the acquaintance of a blind flower girl (Virginia Cherrill), who through a series of coincidences has gotten the impression that the shabby tramp is a millionaire. A second storyline begins when the tramp rescues a genuine millionaire (Harry Myers) from committing suicide. When drunk, the millionaire expansively treats the tramp as a friend and equal; when sober, he doesn't even recognize him. The two plots come together when the tramp attempts to raise enough money for the blind girl to have an eye operation. Highlights include an extended boxing sequence pitting scrawny Chaplin against muscle-bound Hank Mann, and the poignant final scene in which the now-sighted flower girl sees her impoverished benefactor for the first time. Chaplin's decision to release the silent City Lights three years into the talkie era was partially vindicated when more than one critic singled out this "comedy in pantomime" as the best picture of 1931.~Hal Erickson

Best Charlie Chaplin film
This is a classic that came before Citizen Kane. Sound was just starting in films and Charlie Chaplin decided to go with a silent movie. And what a great choice it was! Probably his most heartfelt film. I cried at the end. And that's not an easy thing to do to me!
This review is from City Lights [Criterion Collection] [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] [1931]

Chaplin's Greatest Masterpiece
Posted 14 years ago .
The Little Fellow falls in love with a blind flower girl. That's the simple plot that Charlie Chaplin adheared to upon his final fully realized, fully silent movie. The subplot with the millionaire and the Little Fellow's willingness to do whatever it takes for the flower girl are sure to win over any audience. Recently, this film was moved up the charts on AFI's Top 100 Movies of All Time. The ending of this film, after the trials and tribulations endured by the Little Fellow bring a tear to your eye and tug at your heart strings. Chaplin proved that despite Hollywood's entrance into the world of sound, he could still make the world of silence into a masterpiece. Chaplin's greatest film!!!

Great Film, Not-So-Great Price
Despite being in Blu-Ray, the film leaves something to be desired as it is not in wide or full-screen. This is a spectacular film, but the quality of the HD is not worth the hefty price tag.
Chaplin's finest, in a great Criterion release. I am very happy with this purchase.


MEMBERS of a support group for people with neurological problems are confident of a smooth transition to new premises in Huddersfield.
The past 12 months has seen a period of ups and downs for The Nerve Centre.
The group's success at receiving a Lottery grant was marred by disappointment when plans for new premises suffered a setback.
But members, who have been holding meetings at Voluntary Action Kirklees at Lord Street, have managed to find a new base in the town.
Co-ordinator Pat Whalley said: "It was a huge disappointment when all the plans members worked so hard to achieve had to be put on hold.
"But thanks to the continued generosity and support of Lanson homes we have been able to find new premises in Huddersfield town centre."
The group hope to move into their new base at Standard House in Huddersfield town centre this autumn.
Pat said: "Everyone is really keen to get in there now. We have had so many delays and set backs, so it will be nice to finally move in!"
Once open the new centre will offer information, counselling, complementary therapies, training and social activities to people with neurological conditions and their families and carers.
The centre will also offer resources to existing neurological groups in the area.
