We carved pumpkins last night, which was a first for little BabyBoy! He utterly enjoyed playing in the punkin poop, and slinging it around EVERYWHERE!
Last Sunday we spent the day at the farm. Bad, bad mommy pulled out her camera to take pictures, only to find out the batteries are dead! As a note to everyone, the Canon S3 IS is a FANTASTIC camera EXCEPT it has no battery meter. BAM- dead. SO these pictures were taken with my phone.
I took a personality test on Facebook. Interesting, to say the least! It is very hard to consider the questions based on how you TRULY believe you are verses what you know people think about you.
As an ENTJ, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you deal with things rationally and logically (amen to that). Your secondary mode is internal, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.
There is not much room for error in the world of the ENTJ (unfortunately, this is true. I try and embrace human error but I am quick to jump when something is done wrong). They dislike to see mistakes repeated, and have no patience with inefficiency. They may become quite harsh when their patience is tried in these respects, because they are not naturally tuned in to people's feelings, and more than likely don't believe that they should tailor their judgments in consideration for people's feelings (yes, and actually had this theory tested on quite a few recent occasions). ENTJs, like many types, have difficulty seeing things from outside their own perspective. Unlike other types, ENTJs naturally have little patience with people who do not see things the same way as the ENTJ (very frustrating). The ENTJ needs to consciously work on recognizing the value of other people's opinions (yes, and I have gotten better as I got older), as well as the value of being sensitive towards people's feelings. In the absence of this awareness, the ENTJ will be a forceful, intimidating and overbearing individual (sorry, friends). This may be a real problem for the ENTJ, who may be deprived of important information and collaboration from others. In their personal world, it can make some ENTJs overbearing as spouses or parents (oh, God, can I say how true that is.).
ENTJs are very forceful, decisive individuals. They make decisions quickly, and are quick to verbalize their opinions and decisions to the rest of the world (I would say I make a decision but don't always verbalize it in an attempt to let someone else have input). The ENTJ who has not developed their Intuition will make decisions too hastily, without understanding all of the issues and possible solutions. On the other hand, an ENTJ who has not developed their Thinking side will have difficulty applying logic to their insights, and will often make poor decisions. In that case, they may have brilliant ideas and insight into situations, but they may have little skill at determining how to act upon their understanding, or their actions may be inconsistent. An ENTJ who has developed in a generally less than ideal way may become dictatorial and abrasive - intrusively giving orders and direction without a sound reason for doing so, and without consideration for the people involved.
Although ENTJs are not naturally tuned into other people's feelings, these individuals frequently have very strong sentimental streaks. Often these sentiments are very powerful to the ENTJ, although they will likely hide it from general knowledge, believing the feelings to be a weakness (um, yeah. I feel I am being outed here....). Because the world of feelings and values is not where the ENTJ naturally functions, they may sometimes make value judgments and hold onto submerged emotions which are ill-founded and inappropriate, and will cause them problems - sometimes rather serious problems.
ENTJs love to interact with people. As Extroverts, they're energized and stimulated primarily externally. There's nothing more enjoyable and satisfying to the ENTJ than having a lively, challenging conversation. They especially respect people who are able to stand up to the ENTJ, and argue persuasively for their point of view (yes.... I love to have a serious, heated conversation about something without someone thinking it was an arguement. I don't have too many of those. I typically have people around me that I have to restrain that, because they do not hold the same value on heated differences and see it as more arguing than talk.). There aren't too many people who will do so, however, because the ENTJ is a very forceful and dynamic presence who has a tremendous amount of self-confidence and excellent verbal communication skills. Even the most confident individuals may experience moments of self-doubt when debating a point with an ENTJ.
ENTJs want their home to be beautiful, well-furnished, and efficiently run (this was a value I held until toddlers ruled my life). They're likely to place much emphasis on their children being well-educated and structured, to desire a congenial and devoted relationship with their spouse. At home, the ENTJ needs to be in charge as much as he or she does in their career. The ENTJ is likely best paired with someone who has a strong self-image, who is also a Thinking type (hmmm). Because the ENTJ is primarily focused on their careers, some ENTJs have a problem with being constantly absent from home, physically or mentally.
ENTJs put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into their relationships. Since their major quest in life is to constantly take in knowledge and turn that into something useful, the ENTJ will try to turn everything into a learning experience. Within the context of relationships, that means they will constantly seek knowledge and revise the rules and definitions of their relationships. They value their relationships highly, especially those relationships which present them with new challenges and stimulate their learning. Such exchanges promote genuine affection and satisfaction for the ENTJ. Relationships which do not offer any chances for growth or learning hold no interest to the ENTJ. As in other areas of life, the ENTJ likes to be in charge of their relationships. In conversation, they are very direct and confrontational, and can be highly critical and challenging towards others (thanks friends, for taking my abuse). People involved in close relationships with the ENTJ need to have a good amount of personal strength. For those who do, the ENTJ has a tremendous amount to offer (I think I have been able to teach at least one of my friends it is ok to stick up for herself!).
ENTJs make aggressive, enthusiastic partners who take their commitments very seriously. As in other aspects of their life, they want to be the leader in the relationship, and take on responsibility for making things work (works well when married to the baby of 5, but not always the most favorable of roles to play). They are creative leaders, and are likely to have relationships which promote constant growth and learning. Since they are constantly scanning the environment for new ideas and things worth learning, the ENTJ may frequently re-define the "rules" of the relationship, although their commitment remains constant. If it becomes very clear to them that the relationship no longer offers any chance of growth or learning, the ENTJ will leave the situation, and not look back.
ENTJs are usually very successful in their careers, and usually very good with money. This is helpful in that it may remove a lot of the conflict which couples generate over money matters, but it may become a problem if the ENTJ is too much of a workaholic to spend time on the growth and development of the relationship (not a problem here!) .
The ENTJ is not naturally in-tune with the feelings and emotions of their partners. ENTJs who allow themselves time to be alone and develop the introspective "feeling" side of their natures will be generally "softer" individuals, who are more aware of their partners' emotional needs. However, this awareness is almost always a conscious attempt on the part of the ENTJ, rather than a naturally occurring characteristic (yes.... true) . ENTJs who do not make the attempt to be aware of others and to value their feelings and opinions may find themselves in unbalanced relationships where real communication does not take place. These kinds of situations present a two-edged sword to the ENTJ. They want to be in charge, but if they become so much in charge as to stifle their partners, they will eventually become bored with the relationship.
The ENTJ does not usually have a problem with self-confidence and is not especially emotionally needy. Although they enjoy being told that they are loved and appreciated, they don't need to hear these types of avowals as often as most other types. If they are partnered with a Feeling type, they are probably not likely to fulfill their partner's needs for intimate words without conscious effort (thats me, with the Feeling type). Even with effort, the ENTJ may have problems being aware of other's emotional needs, and they most likely won't understand those needs even if they are aware of them.
ENTJs approach conflict as an opportunity for growth and learning. This is a very healthy outlook in general, but may be a problem in a close relationship with a Feeling type. Individuals with the Feeling preference generally detest conflict and criticism, and avoid it as one would avoid a deadly snake (YES! and sometimes I think it would be healthy to argue it out!). The ENTJs tendency to be confrontational may be very threatening to a person with a Feeling preference - especially so if they are an intimate partner of the ENTJ. An ENTJ who has a well-developed Feeling side may work well with a partner with a Feeling preference. Otherwise, ENTJs will probably have the most successful intimate relationships with types which prefer the Thinking process naturally, or who are not extremely strong on the Feeling preference.
In general, the ENTJ has a lot to offer to their intimate relationships. They're dedicated and enthusiastic, and willing to put forth a lot of effort to make things work out. They take on responsibility and accountability, and expect to be in charge. Their relationship will be one based on mutual respect, constant growth and development.
Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, ENTJ's natural partner is the INTP, or the ISTP. AN ENTJ's dominant function of Extraverted Thinking is best-matched with a personality type that is dominated by Introverted Thinking. The ENTJ/INTP match is ideal, because it also shares the common Intuitive way of looking at the world, but the ENTJ/ISTP match is also very good.
During the teen years, we are likely to see a child rebel from their relationship with the ENTJ (fantastic....). Although this situation is common with almost all of the types, it is especially true for parents who are Extraverted Judging types. Children growing into adults do not want to be controlled, and adults who are used to controlling their children have a difficult time letting go. (I don't see myself being controlling to a point of smothering their individuality. I am excited for them to express their individuality!) The ENTJ parent would be wise to "loosen up" their hold a bit, as long as they can do so without compromising what they feel to be right.
ENTJs are bright, energetic, sociable individuals who are keenly interested in other people's ideas, theories and perspectives. They love nothing better than to participate in quality conversation with other people who share similar views to their own, or who have something new to teach the ENTJ. They make stimulating, interesting, and dynamic friends and peers.
The ENTJ thoroughly enjoys lively, intellectual conversations - welcoming such interaction as a learning opportunity for all parties involved. They have a tendency to be direct and challenging when interacting with others, which tends to put people on the defensive. This is in fact exactly what they're after - the ENTJ wants to learn what you know, and understand as many of the nuances of your knowledge as the context of the conversation will allow. They go after this knowledge in a very direct, confrontational manner. With this approach, they will learn not only the facts of the knowledge, but also the background of the individual's stance on that piece of knowledge. How well does the individual understand the topic? How invested is the individual in their stance? This method of "unsettling" people has the effect of livening up conversations and stimulating learning, when the other conversationalists are able to easily withstand the interrogations of the ENTJ. People who are uncomfortable with being challenged, or who are less than confident in the topic being discussed, are likely to be subdued into not expressing themselves with the ENTJ. This is a bit of a shame, since many people have valuable things to offer, but are not always willing to stand on top of a mountain and strongly shout their views to the world.
The ENTJ is likely to seek the company of people who have similar views and interests to their own. They have no patience with people who have very different lifestyles and perspectives from their own (I don't agree with that. I marvel in people who have a different perspective). However, as individuals with a great deal of personal power, ENTJs are highly attracted to interacting with other individuals with a powerful presence. They admire such people, although they may not agree with them. ENTJs are likely to form their closer friendships with other iNtuitives - especially Extraverted iNtuitives, such as ENTJs, ENTPs, ENFJs, and ENFPs. The ENTJ will enjoy the other iNtuitives' stimulating company, who share their enthusiasm for ideas and learning.
So UPS came today with a very important package. The lamp in my TV was out for the last 11 days, and FINALLY today it came in! I can't really complain about the delay. I got it under warranty, so it was $200 less that I had to spend. I plopped it in, carefully, and fired the bad boy up. ((angels rejoice)).... My DVR has a low space warning on it, wonderful. I hate how much we rely on the television, and we really utilized the down time well, but I am so glad to have it back! Hopefully we can be more conscious now about our watching habits! Anyone know how to dispose of a mercury bulb?????
And, after much anticipation, I was able to purchase tickets to the 1201am showing of Twilight on November 20/21! My sister, mom and I will all head out to the mall, have some dinner and get prepped for 2 hours of complete blissful entertainment! I am SO excited! Excited isn't even a good word to explain how psyched I am!!!!!!
I decided to participate in NaBloPoMo for November. There are so many exciting things happening in November, I think it will be an easy month to be dedicated! 30 days of posting. Hold on to your hats and glasses folks, cuz this heres going to be a smoking blog for November!
Can't November 21 come FASTER?!
Hey, you out there, help a sista out!
On November 1, we'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes at Tempe Town Lake, along with a half-million other walkers across the country. My husband, our 2 children and I will all be participating in the walk along side our family and thousands of others who are passionate about a cure.
Type 1, or juvenile, diabetes, is a devastating, often deadly disease that affects millions of people--a large and growing percentage of them children. My sister Kara was one of these children diagnosed with this desease, over a decade ago. Now, 22 years old, she still struggles with the day-to-day maintenence and trials her diabetes creates. The cost of insulin is high, yet still the strain the disease puts on her body is severe. The good news, though, is that a cure for type 1 diabetes is within reach, and we are faithful and hopeful we will see it in our lifetime. In fact, JDRF funding and leadership is associated with most major scientific breakthroughs in type 1 diabetes research to date. And JDRF funds a major portion of all type 1 diabetes research worldwide, more than any other charity.
We are greatly appreciative of the donations received, and hope to receive more before walk day November 1! There is no doubt everyone is struggling financially right now, but juvenile diabetes has no recession. Please consider donating on behalf of our family- even $10, $15 or $25! We will each be walking the 3.1 mile (5k) walk, totalling 10 miles for the 3 of us (LilMan gets to ride in the stroller, lucky guy!).
We appreciate all the donations and prayers you are able to lend!
I seriously LOVE making chili! I typically don't make it until the first cold and rainy day of the year, but I have already made it once this season because I am way too impatient! I wanted to share the recipe I use!
Hi to all my friends and family. The weather is finally changing (slightly) and my mood seems to be perking up with that! Now if we could just get some overcast and rainy days, I might be the happiest person alive!
I had en Expo this past Saturday for my handcrafted momma and baby items, and it didn't go so well. Not due to my products or prices, but due to the fact that no one showed up! This struggling economy is truly flowing over stronger and stronger into the community. I decided I will do the next 3 shows I have already lined up, and then will probably pour those funds into online advertising until Spring. I seem to keep a consistent sales volume from online, so hopefully I can keep that up through this economic battle! Then hopefully, by spring when Obama is our president ;), people will start trusting the government again and not be so hesitant to shop! Hey AIG, can I borrow some of that free money you were given and used for 2 team-building vacations? Great, thanks.
My 2nd oldest niece turned 18 this weekend. I cannot believe it... Of my 10 nieces and nephews, 3 are now 'adults', 4 are on their way to driving and three more, plus my kids, are going to be starting school in the next few years. I swear, I completely understand it now. My grandparents and parents said we grew too quickly, yet time seemed to stand still for us as kids between birthdays and holidays and school breaks. Now it seems that no matter what I do, time speeds up every day and if you don't take time to enjoy experiences, you will miss them....... Anyways, happy birthday to my sweet and responsible KK. I love you girlie! And CornNut is one lucky guy to have you!
My DLP TV bulb went out 30 days before the 3yr bulb warranty is up. Lucky me!
One month from tonight is Twilight night with my sister! DEFINITELY counting the days for that!
Christmas shopping has started for me, and I should be done by mid-November for my kids! PERFECT since we need to save the rest of our pennies for Disney in December!
Election day is quickly approaching and for that I am PSYCHED!
My house is fully stocked with groceries and toiletries. I saved $47 in coupons and $116 in VIP card savings. Yay me!
Gas is down to $2.97/gallon by my house. Thank GOODNESS... it definitely helps our daily 60miles (each) commute! But also goes to show it should have never inflated that high to start with. Lets get back to $2.50!!!
No more weight lost, but none gained! Working out has been sparse and the last 2 weekends of some yummy drinks at Margaritaville have prevented anymore loss, but hey, you gotta live too right?!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week! And to my newest 2 readers, I hope you enjoyed the read! 157 minutes last week was a lot to spend on my little-ole blog! ;) Please just know I am okay with you finding my blog, and have found the positive in it. I honestly and wholeheartedly hope everyone is in good health and happy. I know I am very happy and blessed, so knowing you have read all this about me can hopefully show you that I have grown to be a decent person with a normal and lovely life, fruitful future and fantastic children. I am sure all the 'kids' are so grown up now and not quite kids at all, and you know how to reach me if you would ever like to talk. Please know- I am speaking for me and only me- but I want no more drama or hate. I have put that aside to focus on the joys life has to offer!
Last night, something I never experienced in my childhood was brought to life. From the time I was 7, I was a die hard NKOTB fan. Like most girls, I had the bedding set, all the barbies, pajamas, t-shirts, cassette tapes, posters, books, buttons and even those plushy pink NKOTB slippers (you know what I'm talking about, lol). Donnie was my man.... When I was 10, my mom and I went down to the convention center in Illinois, as part of a petition to bring New Kids there on their tour. There was controversy about having them stop on tour in our hometown, but the locals weren't having it. We went down there, got our 'Bring NKOTB Here' shirts and petitioned for them to come. They never did. Soon after the tour ended, when I was 12, they parted their ways.
When I heard they were reuniting, I seriously jumped out of my skin. Song by song, they were starting to flood the radio again. When their tour was announced, I was determined to not let this opportunity be missed!!! I was out of town the weekend the tickets went on sale, but arranged to have net access to buy my tickets no matter what it took! Well, my sister called me the Wednesday before they went on sale, and gave me the greatest gift I think she could ever give me! She said she won tickets on the radio at the rush-hour by being caller 104! I was seriously ecstatic! She went to go get the tickets the following week and they were upper level seats. Fine by us, they were free after all!
So last night, we headed across town to Jobing.com arena. We met my sister-in-law Z and her friend from work at Margaritaville for dinner. It was nice, for one to be childless and enjoy dinner with girls, but also to hang out with my SIL Z who I miss tons lately! We had drinks, way too much food, and headed over to the concert. Z and her friend had suite tickets, so we parted ways. When they were scanning us in, they informed us we got upgraded seats! Bottom level, row 11! AMAZING! Some random girl named Tammy Chin from Jamaica opened up, Natasha Bedingfield was really good, and then the Boys came out on stage. It was seriously SO overwhelming to see them come out, dancing in sync and moving just like they did 'back when'! They came out with a new song, and they jumped right into the old stuff like they never even left! Watching them do their old moves moved my mind into a different decade, and immediately when songs would start, you remembered all the words! Donnie and his physical appeal (mmm), Joey and his still boyish persona, Jonathan and his gentle and quiet side, Danny and his hip-hop style and Jordan with that voice..... The concert was long, full of energy and they didn't even have an intermission! It was SO loud you couldn't even hear yourself... and whether Donnie was just saying it to get us going or not, he said we were ALMOST the loudest group so far! I seriously never wanted it to end. Their finale of Hangin' Tough was the perfect close to such an amazing night.
Thanks sis, for going with me, winning the tickets, and experiencing something in our adulthood we didn't get to do 15 years ago!
All these pictures were taken by Andrea.... I cannot take credit for them, but they turned out AWESOME!
So, much to my surprise, I have been able to find the time between mommying, working and sewing, to read the Stephanie Meyers 'Twilight' books. I am currently in the middle of the 3rd book 'Eclipse', and truly loving it! I JUST recently started looking at images and clips online of the movie coming up, only because I didn't want to tarnish the picture I had of the characters and settings in my head. These books are a super easy read and truly pull you in to the story, allowing you to focus on it entirely!
It's amazing though, how easy it is to completely adore fictional characters. Obviously, my obsession with Jack Sparrow was an initial indicator of this, but now that I have 'met' the Cullen boys, and even Jacob...... let me tell you! There's no reason human boys can't be a bit more chivalrous!
So, if you haven't read them, or somehow live under a rock and have never even heard of them, definetly consider picking one up! I'm sure SOMEONE you know has a copy! And if nothing else, at least read the 1st book by November 21, when the movie Twilight comes out!


Get the meat out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature. Combine the spices in a small bowl, making sure they're all integrated with each other. Rub the meat with the spices, making sure to coat the chops as much as possible with this delicious spice blend.
Drizzle the olive oil over a baking dish and arrange the chops in the dish, making sure they don't touch. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees for rare. Serve over cous cous and ENJOY!
*Thank you, Ginny! This stuff is awesome.

UN report: Near impunity for drug war killings in Philippines
Published at 04:53 am June 4th, 2020
Police officers, the first to be convicted in President Rodrigo Duterte's drugs war, are escorted outside a court after being sentenced for the murder of a 17-year-old high school student, in Manila, Philippines, November 29, 2018 Reuters
The drugs crackdown, launched by President Rodrigo Duterte after winning election on a platform of crushing crime, has been marked by police orders and high-level rhetoric that may have been interpreted as "permission to kill," it said
Tens of thousands of people in the Philippines may have been killed in the war on drugs since mid-2016, amid "near impunity" for police and incitement to violence by top officials, the United Nations said on Thursday.
The drugs crackdown, launched by President Rodrigo Duterte after winning election on a platform of crushing crime, has been marked by police orders and high-level rhetoric that may have been interpreted as "permission to kill," it said.
Police, who do not need search or arrest warrants to conduct house raids, systematically force suspects to make self-incriminating statements or risk facing lethal force, the UN human rights office said in a report.
There has been only one conviction, for the 2017 murder of Kian delos Santos, a 17-year-old Manila student, it said. Three police officers were convicted after CCTV footage led to public outrage, it said.
"Despite credible allegations of widespread and systematic extrajudicial killings in the context of the campaign against illegal drugs, there has been near impunity for such violations," the report said.
Police say their actions in the anti-drug campaign have been lawful and that deaths occur in shootouts with dealers resisting arrest.
The report said that some statements from the highest levels of government had "risen to the level of incitement to violence" and "vilification of dissent is being increasingly institutionalized."
"The human rights situation in the Philippines is marked by an overarching focus on public order and national security, including countering terrorism and illegal drugs," it said.
But this was "often at the expense of human rights, due process rights, the rule of law and accountability."
"The Government has also increasingly filed criminal charges, including by using Covid-19 special powers laws, against social media users posting content critical of Government policies and actions," the report added.
It will be presented to the UN Human Rights Council later in June.
Lawyers and activists raised the alarm this week over a new anti-terrorism bill pushed by Duterte, warning of draconian and arbitrary provisions that could be abused to target his detractors.
Drug-related killings
Most victims in the drug war are young poor urban males, the UN report said. Their relatives described "numerous obstacles in documenting cases and pursuing justice."
"The most conservative figure, based on Government data, suggests that since July 2016, 8,663 people have been killed – with other estimates of up to triple that number," it said.
The UN cited reports of widespread drug-related killings perpetrated by unidentified "vigilantes" and a Philippine government report in 2017 that referred to 16,355 "homicide cases under investigations" as accomplishments in the drugs war.
A 2016 police circular launching the campaign uses the terms "negation" and "neutralization" of "drug personalities," it said, calling for its repeal.
"Such ill-defined and ominous language, coupled with repeated verbal encouragement by the highest level of State officials to use lethal force, may have emboldened police to treat the circular as permission to kill," it said.
Government figures show that 223,780 "drug personalities" were arrested from mid-July 2016 through 2019, but unclear charges and irregularities in due process raise concerns that "many of these cases may amount to arbitrary detentions."
At least 248 land and environmental rights activists, lawyers, journalists and trade unionists were killed from 2015 to 2019, the report said. So-called red-tagging, or labelling people and groups as communists or terrorists, had become rife.

Chinook salmon, 74 killer whales, and the future of the Salish Sea
2018 has been a year of huge wins and heartbreaking losses. We can't do this work without you.
Published on 2018 · 12 · 18 by Misty MacDuffee, Wild Salmon Program Director

2018 closes with just 74 Southern Resident killer whales remaining in the world. You've been with us through a year of huge wins and some heartbreaking losses and it's worth a recap as we close the year and prepare for 2019.
January – With 76 Southern Residents remaining, Raincoast and partners petition the government to issue an emergency order under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) to enable recovery measures.
June – Cruiser (L92), a whale who should have had decades of life ahead of him, is declared dead.
July – Tahlequah (J35) gives birth to a female calf that dies within an hour. The world watches as she carries her dead calf for more than two weeks.
August – The Federal Court of Appeal upholds our legal challenge and unanimously rules that the Canadian government's approval of the Trans Mountain Expansion project violated its legal obligations to protect these endangered whales. The permissions are quashed. The federal government buys the pipeline.
September – We launch legal action asking the Federal Court to review the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister of Environment and Climate Change's failure to recommend an emergency order. After unprecedented international efforts, Scarlett (J50) is pronounced dead. The population is 74.
November – The federal cabinet refuses to issue an emergency order against the advice of its ministers. COSEWIC assesses the spring runs of Fraser Chinook as endangered.
December – We submit further evidence on Southern Residents in the renewed Trans Mountain hearings.
You can help us protect the integrity of the Salish Sea.
Protect killer whales
What did we learn? We helped drive initial recovery measures implemented in 2018 such as fisheries restrictions. Our legal efforts were effective. However, much greater threat reduction efforts to reduce noise and disturbance, and recover salmon are required.
While aware that fisheries closures are controversial, they are justified given so many populations of Chinook salmon are endangered. However, the backlash from those profiting from the status quo in the oil, shipping, fishing, and whale watching sectors has begun. Sea lions are being illegally shot, seal culls and hatcheries are proposed as cure-alls to ecological issues that in reality require a reduction in our footprint. How do we make progress on killer whale recovery? Part of the answer might lie in the grief displayed by Tahlequah (J35).
Much greater threat reduction efforts to reduce noise and disturbance, and recover salmon are required. Tweet This!
Loss is something we can all recognize; our own grief is a reflection of the fact that we care. The tragic story of Tahlequah and her unnamed calf have rightly captured attention. With this in mind, 2019 marks the start of our work on a documentary that focuses on those championing real solutions that currently lack political support. Without sufficient pressure, governments will not act.
This is the hardest work I have ever done. I sit in rooms facing government ministers and their bureaucrats, or well resourced and sometimes aggressive industry opponents. Buoyed by my colleagues, our partners, and the backing of our supporters, I carry on with the knowledge that our science tells us we can do better and a belief that it is our collective responsibility to restore ecosystems and do all that we can to help this beleaguered killer whale population.
As we prepare for 2019, I'm asking you to consider how your donation could help us shift the dial on killer whale recovery. Please choose a monthly donation so Raincoast, and the 74 Southern Residents, can count on your support throughout the year.
For those that remain, and the integrity of the Salish Sea.

Institute for Contesting Religious Violence (IFCRV)
Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York
Fellowship & Prizes
The President and Johnston Family Professor for Religion and Democracy at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York
A highly respected scholar and public intellectual, the Rev. Dr. Serene Jones is the 16th President of the historic Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York. The first woman to head the 180-year-old institution, Jones occupies the Johnston Family Chair for Religion and Democracy. She is also currently the President of the American Academy of Religion, which annually hosts the world's largest gathering of scholars of religion. Jones came to Union after seventeen years at Yale University, where she was the Titus Street Professor of Theology at the Divinity School, and Chair of the University's Program in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies. The author of several books including Trauma and Grace, Jones, a popular public speaker, is sought by media to comment on major issues impacting society because of her deep grounding in theology, politics, women's studies, economics, history, and ethics.
Euan Cameron
Henry Luce III Professor of Reformation Church History
Euan Cameron was educated at Eton and Oxford, where he graduated BA in History in the First Class in 1979 and received the D.Phil. in 1982. From 1979 to 1985 he was a junior research fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. In 1985 he moved to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where he worked in the Department of History for 17 years, receiving promotions to Reader (1992) and full Professor (1997) and serving as Head of Department. He was awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship in 1996/7. In 2002 he was appointed as the first Henry Luce III Professor of Reformation Church History at Union Theological Seminary in New York, with a concurrent appointment in the Department of Religion in Columbia University. From 2004 to 2010 he also served as Academic Vice-President in the seminary. During 2010/11, while on sabbatical leave, he held a fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford.
Prof. Cameron's scholarly work analyses the role and transformations of religion in European society in the later Middle Ages and Reformation periods. His academic research first began in the area of religious dissent, especially the Waldensian heresy: he has published two books on that subject, The Reformation of the Heretics (1984) and Waldenses: Rejections of Holy Church in Medieval Europe (2000) and is editing a collaborative volume on this subject, contracted to Brill Publishers, in collaboration with Professor Marina Benedetti of the University of Milan.
In 1991 he published his analytical history of the Protestant Reformation movements in Europe, The European Reformation, which remains in print and widely used. A fully revised and updated second edition of this book appeared in 2012. He also investigates the relationship between theology and popular belief through the debates over "superstition" from the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment: in this area he has published Enchanted Europe: Superstition, Reason and Religion 1250-1750 (hardback 2010; paperback 2011). This work reviews how the debates over "superstition" helped to define the nature and boundaries of religious belief through several centuries of dramatic change.
Professor Cameron's current research explores how Biblical and theological concerns informed and shaped historical thought in the Later Middle Ages and the Reformation era. He has completed a chapter on 'The Bible and the Early Modern Sense of History' for the third volume of the New Cambridge History of the Bible, which he is editing for Cambridge University Press. For 2014-2015 Cameron holds a Henry Luce III Fellowship in Theology to work on a project entitled "The Biblical View of World History 1250-1750: Rise, Refinement and Decline", and is on sabbatical leave for the current academic year.
Professor Cameron is also a volume editor for the Annotated Study Edition of the Works of Martin Luther, in preparation with Augsburg Fortress Press: he is editing volume 6, on Luther's writings on the Bible.
In addition, he has edited two survey volumes on European History in the early modern period (c. 1500-c. 1800), the widely adopted college text Early Modern Europe: An Oxford History (1999) and The Sixteenth Century, in the series Short Oxford History of Europe (2006) which has been translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Polish.
He has also published over 40 articles and chapters, and regularly contributes to the standard works of reference in Church History. He regularly lectures around the US as well as in Britain and Europe. He has appeared on television and radio in the UK and US, including appearances on the series Millennium Minds, for Channel 4 Television (1999), the frequently re-broadcast Lion Television / PBS mini-series Martin Luther (2002) and Lord Bragg's series on the history of ideas, In Our Time, BBC Radio 4 (2002). More recently he has been interviewed for CBS, OWN, Showtime and ABC as well as numerous production companies.
Prof. Cameron takes very seriously the relationship between faith commitments and historical insights. In 2005 he published his personal account of the relationship between history and faith, Interpreting Christian History: The Challenge of the Churches' Past. He was ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church of the USA in March 2014, and Priest on September 27th 2014. Following his ordination as priest he will serve in part-time parish ministry within the city of New York, especially at his home parish of the Church of the Heavenly Rest.

He is the recipient of Honorary Doctorates from St. Vladimir's Academy, and Sibiu University.
John J. Thatamanil
Associate Professor of Theology and World Religions
John J. Thatamanil teaches a wide variety of courses in the areas of comparative theology, theologies of religious diversity, Hindu-Christian dialogue, the theology of Paul Tillich, theory of religion, and process theology. He is committed to the work of comparative theology—theology that learns from and with a variety of traditions. A central question that drives his work is, "How can Christian communities come to see religious diversity as a promise rather than as a problem?" He is also an passionate but irregular practitioner of vipassana meditation and includes time for meditation in virtually all of his courses at Union.
Professor Thatamanil's first book is an exercise in constructive comparative theology. The Immanent Divine: God, Creation, and the Human Predicament. An East-West Conversation provides the foundation for a nondualist Christian theology worked out through a conversation between Paul Tillich and Sankara, the master teacher of the Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedanta.
He is currently completing his second book, The Promise of Religious Diversity: Constructive Theology After Religion (Fordham University Press). That book takes up the recent and extensive literature on the Western construction/invention of the category "religion" with the following questions in mind: If "religion" is a relatively recent invention of the modern West, then is the category applicable to non-Western cultures and traditions? Can we really divide the world up into a set of discrete world religions? If it is problematic to talk of "race relations" now that we know that race is a construct, a biological fiction, does it still make sense to talk of interreligious dialogue if "religion" too is likewise a fiction? Does it still make sense to ask if the world's "religions" are paths up the same mountain or paths up different mountains? How should theologies of religious diversity be reconfigured in light of these new questions and challenges?
He has also begun research and writing toward a third book, Theology Without Borders: Religious Diversity and Theological Method. The central question for that book is this: if the theologian is one who thinks from and for a particular religious tradition, then how can comparative theologians seek to learn from traditions other than their own? Should they?
Professor Thatamanil is a past-president of the North American Paul Tillich Society (NAPTS) and the founding Chair of the American Academy of Religion's Theological Education Committee. He is a frequent lecturer in churches, colleges and universities both nationally and internationally. He also co-edits (with Dr. Loye Ashton) a book series for Fordham University Press on "Comparative Theology: Thinking Across Traditions." He blogs periodically for The Huffington Post and other online publications and has published editorials in The Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.
William Cavanaugh
Senior Research Professor at DePaul University in Chicago.
William Cavanaugh is professor of Catholic studies and director of the Center for World Catholicism and Intercultural Theology, a research center housed in the Department of Catholic Studies and focusing on the Catholic Church in the global South—Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He did his undergraduate degree at the University of Notre Dame, where he planned to study chemical engineering but got hooked on theology. He received a master's degree from Cambridge University in England and then spent two years working for the Church in a poor area of Santiago, Chile, under the military dictatorship. Upon returning to the United States, he got a PhD from Duke University, and then taught at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota for 15 years before coming to DePaul. He is married and have three sons.
William Cavanaugh's major areas of research have to do with the Church's encounter with social, political, and economic realities. He is especially interested in the social implications of traditional Catholic beliefs and practices, such as the Eucharist. He has authored six books and edited three more; his books and articles have been published in 10 languages. He has dealt with themes of the Church's social and political presence in situations of violence and economic injustice. He is currently working on a book on secularization and idolatry, exploring the ways in which a supposedly disenchanted Western society remains enchanted by nationalism, consumerism, and cults of celebrity.
William Cavanaugh's teaching has been at the level of introducing students to the Catholic tradition. He tries to teach in an interdisciplinary way, showing the riches and challenges of the Catholic tradition through art, theology, scripture, music, poetry, history, novels, and so on. Some of the more specialized courses he has taught include courses on Christianity and consumer culture, and a course on Latin American theology. One of his favorite courses to teach is a first-year Discover Chicago course entitled "Global Catholicism in Story and Stone." During Immersion Week, he and his staff take students to ethnic Catholic churches in Chicago: Polish, Irish, Chinese, Mexican, African American, etc. We tell the story of immigrant Catholicism in Chicago through history and theology, but especially through art and architecture.
Conrad Fischer
Associate Professor of Medicine, Physiology and Pharmacology, Department of Biomedical Sciences, Touro College of Medicine.
Reverend Dr. Fischer is the residency program director in Internal Medicine for 100 trainees at Brookdale University Medical Center in Brooklyn. He is Vice-Chair of Medicine and Chair of the institution's Ethics Committee. He is ordained as an Interfaith Minister. Dr. Fischer is board certified in both internal medicine and infectious diseases. He is the author of 15 textbooks of medicine with 250,000 copies in print.
His work at Union explores the life-cycle of religious violence using the same methodologies put to work at stopping the life-cycle of HIV.
Associate Professor, Rice University Department of Religion. He received undergraduate degrees at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and his PhD from the University of Chicago.
David Cook's interests include the study of early Islam, Muslim apocalyptic literature and movements for radical social change, dreams, historical astronomy, Judeo-Arabic literature and West African Islam.
His most recent books are Understanding Jihad and Contemporary Muslim Apocalyptic Literature. He is currently working on a book on the theme of Islamic martyrdom for Cambridge University Press, and has published on the subject of martyrdom operations.
In the future, Cook intends to work on the understudied subject of West African Islam, focusing on the vast Arabic literature of sub-Saharan Africa (especially in Nigeria). Other future projects include finishing the trilogy of apocalyptic works (Studies in Muslim Apocalyptic, on classical apocalyptic beliefs; and Contemporary Muslim Apocalyptic Literature being the first two in the series) with a work on the apocalyptic and millenarian foundations of Muslim civilizations. Hopefully this will be the beginning of the serious study of the role which apocalyptic and radical social movements have played in Islamic history.

Get First Look At Amanda Seyfried As Elizabeth Holmes In Hulu's 'The Dropout'
Welcome to Theranos. Hulu has released a first look at Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes in the upcoming series The Dropout. Based on ABC News/ABC Radio's podcast of the same name, it tracks the rise and fall of Holmes and her infamous medical testing startup. Seyfried replaced Saturday Night Live star Kate McKinnon, who left the limited series for unspecified reasons in February.
Holmes, a Stanford dropout, founded Theranos in the early 2000s. She secured millions of dollars in funding and put together a high profile board of directors, making her one of the world's youngest self-made woman billionaires. In her business pitches, the biotech entrepreneur convinced some of the tech world's most influential figures that her medial blood-testing technology could detect major medical conditions like cancer and high cholesterol. However, her empire crumbled when it was revealed that none of Theranos' tech actually worked.
"Money. Romance. Tragedy. Deception. Hulu's limited series The Dropout, the story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos is an unbelievable tale of ambition and fame gone terribly wrong," the show's official synopsis reads.
The Dropout's first photos feature Seyfried sporting Holmes' signature black turtleneck and dirty blonde updo. Another image provides a sneak peek at actor Naveen Andrews as Sunny Balwani, Holmes' ex-business and romantic partner.

"The Starch Solution" by Dr. John McDougall—My review | J. Morris Hicks, writer. speaker. big picture guy.
← Preventive Care—what does that term mean to you?

Since I first began learning about plant-based nutrition in 2002, Dr. McDougall has been one of my heroes. I have learned a great deal from his many books and I attended one of his weekend programs in California a few years ago. His latest book, filled with powerful information, success stories and lots of great recipes—will help to open the eyes of millions of people.
Like the other four pioneering medical doctors featured in our book, he has demonstrated to the world that we should be eating a whole foods, plant-based diet. By eating mostly whole plants, we promote our own vibrant health and prevent or reverse most chronic diseases and do some wonderful things for the planet all at the same time.
Why does he call it starch-based? When you think about the typical western diet, you would call it meat-based. The main course is almost always some kind of meat or fish, and most Americans don't even consider it a meal if that piece of meat is missing. But Dr. McDougall has known for a long time that the vast majority of the billions of humans that have lived on this plant have eaten very little meat. They have gotten the majority of their calories from the starchy food that was available in their region—whether it was potatoes, beans, grains, squash or some combination.
In this great book, he de-bunks the protein myth and the other myth about our need to limit our intake of starchy foods. He explains how we can get all the calories, protein, fiber and other nutrients from as few as one single plant—the potato (in Chapter 7). While he also recommends a broad array of fruits and green leafy vegetables, his main premise is that we should be eating essentially a starch-based diet.
It works for me. Some of the pioneering M.D.s may lean toward recommending more fruits and vegetables and less starches. But in my own case, I have ended up with a diet that is closest to what Dr. McDougall is recommending. I did quite a bit of experimenting in the early years from 2002 to 2004 when I was getting started—beginning with more vegetables and fruits and less starches.
In those early days of experimentation, I found that I would often get hungry between meals and began to gradually add more grains, legumes, and potatoes to my diet. Nowadays, almost every meal contains some kind of starch—just like Dr. McDougall is recommending in this book.
Different strokes for different folks. While I have gradually drifted to a starch-based diet myself, I really think it's all a matter of individual preference. I know some very healthy fruitarians and raw food-ists out there who are very satisfied with their dietary preference. I also know that millions of people who have followed the dietary advice of Esselstyn, Barnard, Fuhrman and Ornish—have reversed their chronic diseases and enjoy vibrant health every day of their lives.
As for individual preference, we intentionally built as much flexibility into our 4Leaf Program as possible. We know that all five of these fine doctors agree with this simple statement by Dr. Campbell, "The closer we get to a whole foods, plant-based diet, the better off we will be." So in our 4Leaf Program, we encourage people to shoot for 80% or more of their daily calories from whole plants.
After writing my review, I enjoyed a "McDougall Style" starch-based lunch: beans, rice, carrots, broccoli, tomato, celery, olive, edamame and avocado.
We are burning the candle at both ends, pushing the extremes of heat and cold, fire and ice. Without intervention, many scientists predict our planet Earth will become inhospitable to human life, and then to any form of life at all.
Answers to Questions. Part II does a great job of dispelling the "protein myth" and the "calcium myth" that most people have had drilled into their heads for their entire lives. He also covers the problems with seafood and points out why many vegans are fat and unhealthy. Like me, he is not a big fan of fake meats or cheeses.
Finally, Part III is chock full of information about how to make this diet-style successful in your home. It contains meal plans, recipes and a great chart on page 204 comparing the cost of fast foods to the bargain-basement cost of various starches. Example: $17.06 for 2500 calories of Taco Bell Chicken Salad compared to $1.52 for the same number of calories of brown rice.
I should point out that I think I found one omission on page 189. In his list of foods to avoid, he didn't mention fish, although he had made his views very clear earlier—Don't eat it!! He'll probably add fish to that list in the second printing.
The Bottom Line. Excellent book that will resonate with millions of people who don't want to give up the food they love. With this book, they'll learn how to take charge of their health, enjoy their meals more than ever—while doing magnificent things for the environment—all at the same time.

Typical western diet isn't meat based, it is corn based. EVERYTHING (even our meat) has corn in it.

Q: how to make variable visible from other function in Django I want to edit from json prepopulated modelform and try to populate form rows with user data from previous function but when insert e.g. last_name from model_from_json I'm getting error "global name 'last_name' is not defined". Otherwise,if I denote variable just as string 'last_name' view renders editable filled form row. So,please, how to make variable visible?
def model_from_json(request):
    path = 'management/test.json'
    with open(path,'r+') as json_file:
        json_data = json_file.read()
        json_dict = json.loads(json_data)

        username = json_dict[0]['fields']['username']
        first_name = json_dict[0]['fields']['first_name']
        last_name = json_dict[0]['fields']['last_name']
        date = json_dict[0]['fields']['last_login']
        email = json_dict[0]['fields']['email']

    form = UserDataForm({
        'username':username ,
        'last_name':last_name,
        'first_name':first_name,
        'date':date,
        'email':email
        })
        form.save()

    template = 'create.html'
    return render_to_response(template, locals(),context_instance=RequestContext(request))

def form_edit(request, id=None, template_name='edit.html'):
    if id:
        username = get_object_or_404(User, pk=id)
        if User.user != request.user:
            return HttpResponseForbidden()
    else:
        username = User(username=request.user)

    if request.POST:
        form = UserDataForm(request.POST, instance=username)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            message=messages.add_message(request, messages.SUCCESS,(''))
            # If the save was successful, redirect to another page
            redirect_url = reverse('index')
            return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_url)

    else:
        form = UserDataForm({'last_name':last_name})

    return render_to_response('edit.html', {
        'form': form,
    }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))

A: Put the values to hold into the session
request.session["username"] = username

A: change your views like:
if request.POST:
    ....
else:
    form = UserDataForm(initial={'last_name':username.last_name})

Q: How should I set HTTP proxy variable for cron jobs? I have a python script that I need to run from crontab routing all traffic via a HTTP proxy.
I have already set the proxy in /etc/profile using
http_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:3128    # (Address changed for privacy)
https_proxy=http://192.168.0.1:3128
export http_proxy
export https_proxy

Of course this works fine if I run myscript.py from terminal but when adding the job to crontab it reverts to using standard server IP upon running.
What is the safest way to assure the proxy is used by any python script run from cron? I did find one mention of adding
HTTP_PROXY=http://192.168.0.1:3128
HTTPS_PROXY=http://192.168.0.1:3128

to the top of the crontab. This seems to work when testing with a simple python script to ping an IP checker website, but is it the safest way?
There is no documentation on this other than one old post I found.

A: That second example looks like the right thing to do, but you should change the variable names to lower-case, as the HTTP libraries expect.
The manual page for the crontab file format (i.e. crontab(5) - not crontab(1)) says:

An  active line in a crontab will be either an environment setting or a cron command.  The crontab file is parsed from top to bottom, so any environment settings will affect only the cron commands
         below them in the file.  An environment setting is of the form,
      name = value

So that's exactly the way to set environment variables for your cron jobs.

Note also, if this is intended to be a system-wide setting (I'm guessing it is, given your reference to /etc/profile), then

On  the  Debian  GNU/Linux  system, cron supports the pam_env module, and loads the environment specified by /etc/environment and /etc/security/pam_env.conf.  It also reads locale information from
         /etc/default/locale.

If your cron is similarly configured, it may make sense to move your defaults from /etc/profile to /etc/environment.


Let Your Voice Be Heard in the New Journal Comments!
When The BigScreen Cinema Guide turned 13 in 2008, I had posted a kind of a "state of the web site" message where I announced the intention of adding features to the site that allow greater reader involvement. One of those features has finally been completed with the release this week of Journal Comments!
Look for the "Reader Comments" section and the graphic icon to have your voice be heard!
This feature is pretty much as it sounds. When you read a Journal article that is posted, you now have the ability to make comments on the content of that article.
The form to do so is located at the end of the article, and there is a link to it in the right-hand sidebar of every Journal article on the site (see the example to the left, and the real, live version in the sidebar to the right).
We welcome your comments about the information that we post, and we hope that it provides a valuable perspective from the point of view of our readers. While we're big movie fans, we're very close to these topics every day, and our opinions and viewpoints can be different than that of a casual movie fan, and so forth.
Now that the feature has been created and released, it is my hope that we can add the ability for our readers to comment on other items as well, including movies that haven't been released yet (a pre-cursor to writing Reader Reviews) and the big one I've got high hopes for, Theater Comments, so you can let others know about good and bad experiences at local movie theaters!
My primary concern is keeping the quality of these comments high and the noise very low. We hope that everyone will abide by the simple rules and guidelines that we have set for acceptable conduct, so that the feature is a positive addition to the site.
Please give the Journal Comments feature a try and let us know what you think!

Zimmerman also praised Phoenix Hospice for all of the care provided to Willits residents, the single focus of the Women"s Guild.
We always give to Willits," Zimmerman said. "We"ve always tried to keep it in the town of Willits. That"s always been our pledge."
The women of St. Anthony"s also give scholarships to members of the church who go to Willits High School and who are active Catholics.

Rue Kothari
BY Harper's Bazaar Arabia / Mar 1 2017 / 20:50 PM
45, British
Rue Kothari has always had an eye for design, though her plans for a career in fashion were somewhat thwarted at an early age. "I remember as far back as being seven and wanting to be a fashion designer. When I stitched my fingers together in needlework class at school
I thought perhaps it may not be the job for me. I love design in all its forms – the structure of a garment is just as inspirational to me as the design of a beautiful building." It's fitting then, that after working as the editor-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar Interiors for four years, Rue is now the fair director for Downtown Design where her appreciation for design is put into practice daily. Plus, she's passionate about showcasing the talent the region has to offer. "I'm a vocal advocate for the regional design industry, when presenting or giving talks around the world," she tells Bazaar, and after moving to Dubai from London 13 years ago, Rue says she's never looked back. "The freedom to deliberate your next move is a luxury we so rarely have in life. The best decision I ever made was moving here."
Despite not pursuing a career in fashion, it's something that brings Rue great joy every day. "I absolutely love getting dressed every morning," she says. "Playing with putting different pieces together to get a new look is the one thing that gets me out of bed." Rue says her style is "edgy and urban, never consistent and always has a playful element" adding that there's "lots of black with unique detailing."
Her most loved items run the gamut from pretty to practical. "I love my new butterfly boots from Sophia Webster – they're so playful and make me feel prettier the moment I slip them on and I live in my new leather skirt from Vince, it's incredibly flattering and versatile."
There is another item that holds a special place in her wardrobe. "My little Fendi baguette, inspired by deco motifs and colours, is utterly unique and goes with almost nothing else in my wardrobe, so it's a special treat to give it an outing."
Although Rue shops less frequently these days, she buys smarter. "It's more about buying investment pieces that will stand the test of time. And I have a strong sense of what I love and what looks good on me, so I don't make fast fashion impulse buys that end up languishing in the wardrobe with their tags still on."
A collector of jewellery – "I have boxes and boxes of beautiful pieces that my daughter Inara loves exploring" – Rue never takes off her Selim Mouzannar diamond necklace and ring. "They were both gifts from my mother to take the sting off turning 40. In fact I see them as a celebration of how my life has flourished since I entered my 40s." On this point of embracing her age, Rue explains, "The older I get, the more ambitious and determined I become. When you pass 40 you have a sense of security that comes from within. You know what you want from your life and how to get it. I'm probably the happiest I've ever been right now."
