M. Frequently Asked Questions:
Concealed Carry Legislation and Butler Community College Weapons Policy 7/1/2017
This document of Frequently Asked Questions has been compiled in response to various questions posed at a number of meetings of faculty, staff, students, administration, and Board of Trustees.
Why has Butler developed a weapons policy?
The past 4 years, Butler has had an exemption in place which prohibited the carrying of handguns in our facilities and on our campuses but that exemption expires June 30, 2017. Provisions of the Kansas Personal and Family Protection Act will become effective July 1, 2017 which will allow the carrying of concealed handguns in our College facilities and on our campuses. The Butler Weapons policy has been developed through the help of College legal counsel and multiple conversations with employees, students, and Board members. The policy was approved by the Butler Board of Trustees on April 11, 2017 and was in effect beginning July 1, 2017.
Where can I find the current concealed carry legislation?
The Personal and Family Protection Act is found under K.S.A. 75-7c01 et.seq. The statute that authorizes concealed carry in state and municipal buildings, including community college buildings is under K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 75-7c20.
Who will be able to conceal carry?
Beginning July 1, 2017 and in accordance with the Personal and Family Protection Act, any individual who is twenty-one (21) years of age or older and who is not prohibited or disqualified by law will be allowed to conceal carry. (Noted restrictions are listed below in #14)
What weapons are authorized under the concealed carry law?
Only handguns are authorized by the Personal and Family Protection Act. A handgun is defined for purposes of the Act as either (1) a pistol or revolver designed to be fired by the use of a single hand and designed to fire or capable of firing fixed cartridge ammunition; or (2) any other weapon which will or is designed to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive and which is designed to be fired by the use of a single hand.
Where will I be able to conceal carry? Will concealed carry be prohibited at any Butler locations?
Individuals will be able to carry anywhere on a Butler campus with a few exceptions. Concealed carry will be specifically and expressly exempt from the following sites: Andover High School, Rose Hill High School, Marion High School, and Council Grove site as it is adjacent to the high school. Educare and the fenced in playground area surrounding the Educare building on the El Dorado campus will be exempt as well. Guns are prohibited on McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita. All guns will be prohibited at the Butler Service Center (2626 S Rock Road, Wichita) as it is privately owned property.
In addition, if Butler utilizes temporary Adequate Security Measures (ASMs), concealed carry will be prohibited for a period of time. If temporary ASMs are in place, signs will clearly identify were concealed carry is prohibited.
What are "Adequate Security Measures"?
As defined by current Kansas statute, "Adequate Security Measures" means "the use of electronic equipment and armed personnel at public entrances to detect and restrict the carrying of any weapons into the state or municipal building, or any public area thereof, including but not limited to, metal detectors, metal detector wands or any other equipment used for similar purposes to ensure that weapons are not permitted to be carried into such building or public area by members of the public."
Will Butler use "Adequate Security Measures"?
Under the policy and by statute, the College could temporarily designate a specific location as prohibiting concealed handguns and use temporary ASMs which would be in place only for the length of an event. Appropriate notice would be given if this temporary designation is made. The potential use of ASMs would be considered on a case by case basis.
Will open carry be allowed at Butler?
No, open carry will be prohibited on all campuses except by certified law enforcement officers including Butler Public Safety Officers and officers of other agencies as defined by K.S.A. 75-7c22.
If I choose to carry, how must that be done?
Individuals who carry a handgun on campus must carry it concealed on or about their person at all times
What is the definition of "concealed"?
"Concealed" means completely hidden from view and does not reveal a handgun in any way, shape, or form.
When the policy states that a concealed handgun must be carried concealed on or about their person at all times, what does "about their person at all times mean?"
"About" the person means that an individual may carry a Handgun if it can be carried securely in a suitable carrier, such as a backpack, purse, handbag or other personal carrier designed and intended for the carrying of an individual's personal items. Moreover, the carrier must at all times remain within the exclusive and uninterrupted control of the individual. This includes wearing the carrier with one or more straps consistent with the carrier's design, carrying or holding the carrier or setting the carrier next to or within the immediate reach/control of the individual. Having a concealed carry handgun in a backpack or purse at the lawful possessor's feet would be considered as in that person's custody and control however, leaving the handgun in a backpack or purse on the other side of the room from the lawful possessor or out of the person's reach would not.
If I wish to carry my handgun concealed in my backpack, will I be able to carry it with me in that way to all by Butler classes?
In those instances where class or lab safety or educational rules dictate that backpacks have to be left unattended (i.e. for safety reasons, a lab may require backpacks be left at the back of the room; dance class where backpacks can't be within reach while practicing; testing center requirements) an individual who wants to carry a concealed carry handgun must have it on their person that day, instead of in their bag, before they get to class. Individuals having to transfer a concealed carry handgun from a backpack or purse to their person would be in violation of the Weapons Policy. If the concealed carry handgun is on their person, they must adhere to the requirement of "concealed" meaning it must be completely hidden from view and that the handgun is not revealed in any way, shape, or form.
Are there other guidelines in policy related to how the concealed handgun must be carried?
It shall be a violation of this Policy to openly display any possessed Handgun while on Campus. Handguns with an external safety must be carried with safety in "on' position.
Are there any legal restrictions by federal or state law that restrict a person from carrying a concealed weapon on Butler's campuses?
The following state and federal laws apply to possession and use of firearms, including the carrying of concealed handguns:
A firearm cannot be carried by an individual who is an unlawful user of and addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act, codified at 21 U.S.C. § 802) (K.S.A. 21-6301(a)(10));
A firearm cannot be carried by an individual who is are has been a mentally ill person subject or has been subjected to involuntary commitment (K.S.A. 21-6301(a)(13));
A firearm cannot be carried by an individual with an alcohol or substance abuse problem subject to involuntary commitment (K.S.A. 21-6301(a)(13));
15. If I carry a concealed handgun and adhere to the state law and Butler weapons policy, will I be in violation of the law or policy if someone feels threatened or scared in knowing that I choose to carry?
No, by state law beginning July 1, 2017, if you are 21 years of age or older, you will have the right to conceal carry.
16. Am I in violation of the policy if someone sees my handgun? What responsibility do I have to keep my handgun absolutely concealed?
Choosing to lawfully carry a concealed handgun on Butler campuses and under the Weapons Policy requires your responsibility to keep your handgun completed concealed at all times. Taking a handgun out of concealment or otherwise displaying/brandishing it would be a violation of the Weapons Policy. Partially or wholly visible handguns, even due to an inadvertent brief display (for example, if someone's coat opens when they raise their arm and a gun is visible for a brief moment), do not meet the requirements of concealed carry and at a minimum would be a violation of the Weapons Policy and should be reported. They will be addressed on a case by case basis
17. What do I do if I see a handgun on or about a person or in a vehicle on campus?
Suspected violations of this Policy or emergencies should be reported to Butler Public Safety by: Calling 911 (these calls will dispatch directly to Butler Public Safety) Alternatively, you can text or "walk-in" Text via: El Dorado 316-321-7657 Andover 316-253-1076 Walk-in: El Dorado Public Safety Office – West Hall Andover Public Safety Office – 5000 Building
18. Will Butler Community College provide storage on campus for those who wish to carry?
Handgun storage will not be provided by Butler Community College.
19. How will I be able to store my handgun if I am not carrying it on my person or in a backpack or purse?
Individuals may store a Handgun in the individual's vehicle when the vehicle is locked and the Handgun is secured in a location within the vehicle that is not visible from outside the vehicle; Handgun storage by any other means is prohibited, except in locked secure box in resident's dorm room. Specifically, it is prohibited for any individual to store a Handgun: i) in a vehicle that is unlocked or when the Handgun is visible from outside the vehicle, ii) in an individual's office, unless in locked secure box, iii) in an unattended backpack/carrier, iv) in any type of locker or v) in any other location and under any circumstances except as specifically permitted by this Policy and by state and federal law.
20. Will I be able to bring my handgun to campus in my car?
As long as you follow the guidelines above requiring your handgun be hidden from view and the vehicle is locked you'll be able to bring your handgun to campus in your car.
21. Can I conceal carry off-campus at Butler events, fieldtrips, etc?
Campus locations leased by Butler Community College or used for off-campus activities and owned by an entity that may lawfully exclude or permit firearms on their premises (concealed or otherwise) may choose at their sole discretion to exclude or permit handguns from their premises, notwithstanding a lease or use arrangement with Butler. If handguns are excluded at such locations and would otherwise be permitted by the Weapons Policy, individuals are expected to comply with the rules imposed by the location.
22. If I choose to conceal carry, will I be required to disclose that fact or register my handgun with Butler Public Safety or any other College administrative office?
You will not be required to disclose that you are carrying a concealed handgun, however, Butler Public Safety will provide an opportunity for individuals to voluntarily register their handguns so in the event the weapon is lost or stolen, the serial numbers are in a national database to assist in recovery.
23. Will Butler provide training and certification opportunities for safe gun handling?
Butler will not be providing training and certification opportunities for safe gun handling. Butler will continue to provide ALICE training on campus which is focused on proactive strategies that increase chances of survival during an active shooter/killer event.
24. Beginning July 1, 2017, will Butler instructors be able to set rules against to concealed carry in their classrooms, labs, or offices?
When the Personal and Family Protection Act goes into effect on July 2, 2017 and with the Board of Trustees approval of the Weapons Policy, individuals will be able to conceal carry anywhere on Butler's campuses except in the locations designated above in # 5 and where temporary Adequate Security Measures (ASMs) are in place. Based on existing state statute, an instructor will not be able to prohibit concealed carry in the instructor's classroom, lab, or office.
25. If an individual discloses they are carrying a concealed weapon, will they be in violation of the policy?
They will not be in violation of the policy as long as they do not openly show their handgun.
26. How will violations of the Weapons Policy be addressed?
Butler will use its approved Student Code of Conduct and established Employee and Professional Employee disciplinary guidelines to address Weapons Policy violations. Some circumstances may also involve a separate law enforcement investigation. Any individual violating the Weapons Policy or accidently or irresponsibly discharging a weapon will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action including but not limited to suspension/expulsion, termination of employment, immediate removal/trespass from the premises and/or arrest. Enforcement will be administered by Butler Community College Administration and Butler Public Safety.
27. What if an accidental discharge happens on campus?
All reported incidents involving weapons or violations of the Weapons Policy will be investigated on a case-by-case basis.
28. What are the legal implications if an individual who is carrying a gun discharges and harms another individual?
The decision to carry a concealed handgun is a personal choice. Along with that choice comes a responsibility. Individuals are strongly encouraged to complete appropriate gun safety training for a better understanding of the legalities of carrying a concealed handgun.
29. Will there be a way for me to be matched with a residence hall roommate that has similar beliefs related to concealed carry?
Residence Hall statistics typically show a very limited number of students who will be living on campus who are 21 years of age or older which would allow them to carry a concealed handgun. While Butler's housing applications can't specifically ask whether a student intends to carry a concealed handgun on campus, roommates could be appropriately matched by informing students that if they do not want to live with a concealed handgun holder, they can contact the Director of Residence Life and a room assignment change will be accommodated.
30. Where is the information being made available related to the Butler Weapons policy?
Information related to the Butler Weapons Policy will be available in the Student Handbook, Employee Handbook, and on the College website. Information will also be available as requested through student organization and activity meetings as well as college-wide meetings of employees.

CHERRYVILLE � Terry Whisnant announced on Twitter Thursday morning he has chosen East Carolina after last week announcing he would be leaving Florida State.
Whisnant, Gaston County�s all-time leading boys high school basketball scorer, picked ECU after also considering Coastal Carolina. Whisnant visited both schools last week after deciding he was transferring away from Florida State and coach Leonard Hamilton, a Gastonia native.
�Glad to be apart of the pirate nation #freshstart #ecu� was Whisnant�s tweet that was entered at 10:48 a.m. Thursday.
The news was followed by several congratulatory tweets from friends and East Carolina fans alike.
A two-time Gazette player of the year at Cherryville, Whisnant will have to sit out the upcoming 2013-14 season but will be eligible for two years � the 2014-15 and 2015-16 seasons.
Whisnant had played in 55 of 69 games for the Seminoles in his two seasons there, averaging 3.8 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.6 assists.
Whisnant came off the bench in all 25 games he played as a reserve for the 2012 ACC championship team � and joined Gastonia�s James Worthy (1981, 1982 at North Carolina) and Cherryville�s Kenny Poston (1987 at N.C. State) as the only county products to win league titles.
Last season, Whisnant started 19 of 30 games as a sophomore and averaged 5.2 points per game. But Whisnant�s last start came in early February and his playing time diminished late in the Seminoles� season.

This resource summarises all the alloying elements found in all varieties of stainless steels. Each family (Austenitic, Ferritic, Martenistic, Duplex, Precipitation Hardening) is described in terms of its mechanical and physical properties stemming from the elements found in them. Each element (Carbon, Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, Niobium, Titanium, Manganese, Silicon, Nitrogen, Cobalt) is then individually described and the change in mechanical properties that different concentrations of the element has on the steel is explained.
This resource is an advice sheet that provides guidance on the approval process for products that come into contact with water intended for human consumption. Stainless steels are covered in chapter 5 - 'Metallic Products' in which readers are directed to the same guidelines as in chapter 3 of advice sheet 5 - 'Approval of Products made from Recognised Materials' for any metallic elements including boreholes and wells.
This resource is an advice sheet that provides guidance on the approval process for products that come into contact with water intended for human consumption. Stainless steels are covered in chapter 3 - 'Metallic Products' - and Annex 5 - 'STAINLESS STEEL GRADES TESTED ACCORDING TO BS 7766' - lists a number of grades. Guidance is given on approval procedures for grades in the list and not in the list. Guidance is also given on communication pipes.
Metal has become increasingly popular because if provides unique design opportunities, strength and corrosion resistance. Each metal family has unique characteristics. Performance over time depends on the designer understanding the advantages and limitations of each metal and taking these into consideration during the design process. Part 2. Predicting a metal's performance in exterior applications, soil, or concrete requires knowledge of the factors influencing corrosion. Unfortunately, good comparative corrosion data for different metals can be difficult to obtain. Research reports comparing service environments and the performance of different metals are usually written by and for metallurgical engineers. This article summarizes published data and other selection citeria so non-metallurgists can take advantage of available research.
How long will the metal panels stay attractive? How much maintenance is required? Architects, building owners,structural engineers, and other specifiers regularly face these questions. Materials selection decisions are often based on personal experience and budget limitations rather than scientific data. Usually the result is satisfactory, but when the wrong metal is used and problems arise,reputations can be damaged and remedial costs can be high.
This resource is program designed to help specifers select appropriate stainless steels and surface finishes for applications where corrosion staining is aesthetically unacceptable, even without structural deterioration. The program uses the tabs; 'environment' to choose the pollution levels, 'salt' to choose the distance to coastal or trafficked areas, 'weather' to choose the climate, 'design' to choose the element orientation and surface finish and 'maintenance' to choose the cleaning schedule. Following the completion of these tabs, a 'stainless steel selection guideline' tab becomes available. This tab presents numerous suitable grade selections and also a series of warnings for the specifier to consider.
This resource is a brochure which provides guidelines for evaluating a project to determine which stainless steel grade, surface finish and design are most suitable to resist corrosion. Corrosion damage is unlikely to impact the metal structurally but bad specification can lead to staining which may be regarded as aesthetically unacceptable for the structure. The 'Site and Design Evaluation System' is divided into 5 sections: 'Environment' discusses pollution levels, 'Salt exposure' discusses the distance to coastal or trafficked areas, 'Weather' discusses the local climate, 'Design' discusses the element orientation, crevices and surface finish and 'Maintenance' discusses the cleaning schedule. Each section describes where the relevant information can be found and what specification is suitable to resist the different levels of corrosion attack. This brochure works with the IMOA software found in the resource 'Stainless Steel Grade Selection Software' which implements this selection criteria to produce a grade and surface finish by considering all 5 sections.

Pulitzer Prize Winner Jorie Graham's Collection of Poetry, 'Fast', Will Haunt You, Beautifully
BY CHADWICK JENKINS
Longing for Pastness
Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard poet Jorie Graham opens her new collection, Fast with an epigraph by Robert Browning: "Then the good minute goes./ Already how am I so far/ Out of that minute?" The quotation is fitting: Fast concerns itself with many things but most prominent among them is the fleeting nature of our existence in time and the manner in which that "good minute" continually slips our grasp and recedes into an inaccessible but vaunted past. Quite in opposition to Goethe's Faust, we do not find ourselves bereft of moments we would bid "Stay!" but rather discover that we are immersed in them. And as they withdraw farther from us, we feel their absence all the more acutely. We are haunted by the ghosts of experiences we barely registered while they were occurring and haunted even more by those we always recognized were important.
In Fast Graham explores and articulates experiences that are both harrowingly personal (the deaths of her parents, her cancer treatments) and ostensibly impersonal (deep sea trawling, interacting with conversation bots, the vicissitudes of plankton and algae blooms). The sleight of hand that she manages in the best of these poems is to suggest that what appears to be impersonal and simply the state of our seemingly "posthuman" existence surges through the landscape of our emotional lives while those moments that we so desperately need to be utterly personal, to be ours alone, have within them an uncanny objectivity and recede so rapidly from the present that we fail, despite our desperation, to maintain their affective presence.
Even the orthography employed in these poems involves a thinking through and confrontation with time. Graham employs a striking mark throughout the collection: the Times New Roman arrow. This is essentially an em-dash with an arrow head to the right, thus pointing to the following word or phrase. Now, of course, in most English-language writing (except perhaps in the most concrete of concrete poetry) we move from left to right. The em-dash by itself (and the em-dash is still used in these poems, as well) does not thwart or inhibit forward motion exactly but it does imply a sense of equipoise, a sense that the preceding and the following are on somewhat equal footing (even if one progresses toward the other). Indeed, a very typical use of the em-dash is to denote apposition—the grammatically parallel, side-by-side balance of two or more clauses. Another typical usage is to designate the clause within the em-dashes as subordinate to the surrounding clauses—that is, the clause set out by the em-dashes is understood as a parenthetical remark or exempli gratia.
The arrow negates any such sense of apposition or subordination. The arrow demands forward motion; it does not merely assume it or take it for granted. The arrow impels the reader forward. In these passages, one feels swept up in the onrush of the poetic undercurrent, rushed out into the depths of a tumultuous thought, an image that crests and crashes down upon the reader inexorably, ineluctably. And yet, part of me as a reader resists this onrush of motion. In its efforts to push me forward, the arrows sometimes inspire my readerly resistance to pull back, to question the relentless impulsion of time, to endeavor (as these poems often seem to endeavor) to hold on to the fleeting moment, to cry out in Faustian despair, "Stay, though art so beautiful!"
The pastness of our lives inflects our present, which stands both as an accumulation of past experience and a negation (a registered loss) of that experience. In "We", Graham suggests: "we are way/ past/ intimation friend—the pastness ofyou can only think about itit won't/ be there for youyou can talk about itthey are gone who came before." The past is something we discuss and think about but can no longer hold in our grip. Our intimate moments are always in the past and thus we are sorrowfully, longingly "past" them.
Bound up with our being in time is our being involved with a body: being a body, losing our bodily presence in death, the proximity and distance of bodies in relation, networks of bodies in families and forests, the seeming dematerialization of the body in our interactions on the internet, the occlusive nature of the ailing body as it blocks our (what "our" without the body?) progress in life. Our bodies experience the ravages of time, are dependent upon time for their meaning, and register time's passage by displaying its inscriptions as carved into our wrinkles, our frailties, our inevitable decline.
Perhaps my favorite device that Graham employs with respect to the body is her particular care with the preposition "in" and verbs such as "to enter". The body in these poems wants to be inside, with loved ones, connected to a community (whether the nuclear family, a sea of algae, decaying flora, or the subterranean matrix of roots and fungi that sustains the life of a forest amidst individual death). And yet the body continually breaks down, betrays and is betrayed, fails (even at the height of its power, which is all too rare in these poems of extremity and sorrow). The body loses itself in the midst of its yearning to return; it continually slips toward the outside, away from the circumference of companionate comfort, away from the bittersweet familiarity of home.
Graham divides her book into four large sections; each section is rather loosely organized around a theme: 1. an examination life's enmeshment with death writ large—the manner in which death serves to nurture new life, the possibility of global death, our lifelike interactions with nonliving things such as bots on the internet; 2. ruminations on the death of the poet's father—the loving interaction of the still-living with the recently dead; 3. thoughts on the human body—the sick body, the underappreciated body, the body engaged with the machine; and 4. another foray into the deaths of loved ones—the father again but now also the mother.
Despite this overall division, however, the poems are not laid out in a schematic fashion. The various themes interpenetrate, and each poem, at times bordering on free association, encompasses a plethora of referents and allusions, unforeseen connections, and abrupt shifts in register and voice. But throughout, the collection is pervaded by images of time as it relates to and conditions life, death, and the body.
The brief opening poem, "Ashes", provides a fine example of the vertiginous manner in which Graham spins out her ideas and images and indeed presents in a brilliantly telescoped manner the concerns and devices explored in the collection as a whole. The narrating voice seeks some kind of ontological foundation, some solidity of being. She asks "the plants to give me my small identity. No, the planets." Notice the swift turn from the terrestrial to the heavenly, from the biology of decay (the loam waits "to make of us what it can") to the Platonic conception of the microcosm's relation to the macrocosm of the celestial spheres (Graham's disenchanted postmodern Platonism reducing the planetary motions to a "groove traversed where a god dies").
The dizzying alternation between the small and the large impacts the understanding of time here as well. The narrator's "lifetime" gives way to a wish to become glass and then assonantly shifts toward the glacial; the human lifespan echoes with the "prehistoric frozen mother's caress". Maturation and senescence are not merely human attributes. Our growth and death are accompanied by an untold wealth of beings that come and go, all encompassed by a system (the universe) that itself came into existence and is fading out of it. Hence the dialectic of micro/macrocosm plays out on the temporal stage; considering the vicissitudes of human birth and death leads to the realization (hardly profound and yet shattering all the same) that "a universe can die".
In the midst of all of this are bodies: bodies of plants that in their fecundity transmute absorbed death into incipient life; bodies of fish and insects and birds that are victims of the life cycle; the Platonic, emergent body "dragged down through shaft into being"; and, most immediately, the living human body that anticipates, fears, and attempts to justify death, the body "trammeled with entry" and "thinning but almost still here in spirit". This is the body that wastes away and experiences that decline as the meaning-granting essence of that body's existence, that knows death but does not understand it.
These poems are not all on an equal footing. Graham is at her best in free verse pushed forth by free association. Her gift for connection is what typically prevents her sometimes (often?) banal observations from crossing the threshold into being trite. There is nothing particularly revealing about the connection between our personal death and its contribution to the moldering richness of the soil giving rise to new life. What makes this image work in a poem like "Ashes" is the agility with which that biological image vaunts over into the Platonic, the cosmological, the ecological, the theological, and the corporeal. Some poems, like "Dementia", appear less sure-footed in their peregrinations through concepts and categories of thought.
Others, such as "from The Enmeshments", clearly the weakest poem in the collection, attempt to infuse the free verse with some allusions to meter through rhyme but only manage to create a stilted rhythmic effect ("But what if I only want to subtract. It's too abstract. I have no contract. Cannot enact impact/ interact") that detracts from the rigor and charm of her usual poetic design, devolving into the clumsy and the mundane.
Certain of these poems, however, will and should assimilate themselves to your consciousness, insinuate themselves into your way of thinking. Poems such as "Fast", "Reading to my Father", and "The Post Human" are replete with thoughts and images that haunt me, that shake the tendrils of my nervous system, and appear to me in unbidden moments. "The Post Human", in particular is enchanting and horrifying at once. The narrative "I" finds herself in the room of her just-deceased father, standing next to his body, which is no longer his, no longer someone's body but just a body, a bit of detritus, but beloved detritus. She is holding his hand as it stiffens with rigor mortis: "The aluminum shines on your bedrail where the sun hits. It touches it./ The sun and the bedrail—do they touch each other more than you and I now./ Now. Is that a place now. Do you have a now."
Time, the body, life, and death—all hold together in a beguiling, evocative tension. Sunlight, a bringer of life and vitality, shines upon the deathbed, touches it, drawing a connection between the innerving, immaterial warmth of light and the cold, steely indifference of the aluminum. The daughter holds the hand of her departed father, but, of course, he is no longer holding her hand, cannot do so. There is no one there to do so. The father has vacated the Now and no longer "is" while the daughter continues to reach out, to attempt to touch that which has fled into pastness. And yet, this is not an image of futility, some quixotic endeavor to overcome the unsurpassable finality of death. She manages, in some small but crucial way, to touch her father and he touches her—beyond a place, beyond a now, beyond the materiality of bodies and the irrevocable isolation of the present. The bodies that we are will always seek and somehow impossibly find a way back in.

Thanks to Facebook, my high school friend Sirica and I reconnected over our mutual passion for plant-based living. For three years Sirica was my buddy in High School German. She is THE reason I survived that class…so much so that when she graduated (she was one year ahead of me) I didn't take German my Senior year. Our teacher had his quirks for sure; using a book from 1960 (a German exchange student in the class informed us that, "No one speaks like this in Germany anymore") and leaving the doors open EVERY day of the year (It actually gets pretty darn cold in Northern California), not to mention the fact that he was excruciatingly strict (despite my nerdy tendencies and every effort I could NEVER get above a B+ in that class!!!…apparently that still bothers me). I actually look back at those memories and laugh. Funny enough I know Herr Stride liked me…I think a large reason was the fact that we shared the same heritage in that we were both Norwegian and German.
I love having Sirica back in my life!
Sirica is a stay at home mom with two sweet boys, is a lover of food and wine, and has dreams of having a gourmet kitchen someday on an organic farm with a really cute farmer by her side…her hubby John. She loves listening to music, reading her Bible, playing with their chocolate lab and being outside with her family. She is passionately committed to sharing her joy of cooking with others and hopes to inspire them to enjoy the benefits of a plant based whole food lifestyle. On the rare occasion that she gets time alone, you can find her curled up on the couch with a couple of cookbooks.
The first time I saw this recipe in Vegetarian Times magazine, I passed on making it because we normally don't eat soy-based fake meat, but after a second look I decided to give it a try and boy am I glad I did! It is one of the tastiest dishes we have ever made and a real treat to enjoy on special occasions. With all soy products, I recommend using organic and non-GMO. Don't miss the garlic aioli, it is a fantastic compliment to the crispy texture of the baked topping.
Fideuà is a Spanish dish typically made with thin noodles instead of rice which is found in another popular Spanish dish, Paella. And since I love paella, I knew this would be a hit with my family. Below you will find the original recipe from Vegetarian Times along with my changes.
Heat 1 Tbs. oil in wok, paella pan, or large skillet over medium heat. Add pasta, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned and opaque, stirring constantly. Transfer pasta to paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
Add remaining 1 Tbs. oil to pan, and heat over medium heat. Add onion, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.
Stir in mushrooms, soy chorizo, bell pepper, 2 Tbs. parsley, garlic, and smoked paprika (if using), and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Add pasta, broth, and 1/2 cup water (I used rice milk instead to add a little creaminess), and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add asparagus, and cover; simmer 3 minutes (I added the asparagus after simmering for 20 minutes to really thicken up the sauce and because I used gluten free pasta which takes a little longer to cook).
Preheat oven to broil. If using wok or skillet, transfer pasta mixture to 10-inch or larger round cake pan. Place paella pan or cake pan under broiler, and broil 3 to 4 minutes, or just until pasta is crisp on top. Watch carefully—it burns quickly.
To serve, top with garlic aioli (recipe below) and sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbs. parsley.
Enjoy with a nice glass of wine!
Having personally eaten this dish, cooked by Sirica herself, I can say with absolute certainty that it is one of the most amazing meals I have ever enjoyed!
You are a lucky man to have such a wonderful wife! I just love Sirica and look forward to more of her recipes.
I gotta try this! Oh, and thank you for posting pictures of each step. I'm a rookie in the kitchen and it makes me realize this dish is TOTALLY "doable" for me! THANK YOU!!!
Awesome, Sirica! I love hearing about and trying what you make. LOVE the pictures!
This looks amazing! I will giving this recipe a try in the near future.
This looks so yummy!! I'm going to make it this weekend…thanks Sirica!
This looks delish! Thanks, neighbor, for the blog, the inspiration, and for being my friend. I'll look for more installments.

Christmas is fast approaching, and Portland is getting ready. One of the city's prized seasonal landmarks is the large pine tree that stands in Monument Square every year. And with the lighting ceremony coming up on Nov. 25th, the announcement's been made about which tree's been selected to represent the season.
This stoic beauty comes from neighboring Westbrook. According to the Portland Maine Parks, Recreation & Facilities Department's Facebook post, this year's tree is a mammoth Balsom Fir that measures 40 feet tall. This gargantuan beauty is extremely full, with a perfect curved look. And now it sounds like I'm describing a car.
The next step for Portland's tree is the massive job of moving it downtown to Monument Square. The Parks Department explains the complex plan in great detail, from the cutting down to the route itself. They estimate that it should take about an hour from cutting to land at its final destination in Monument Square. According to the post, the Westbrook Police, Portland Police and Portland Parking Control will be helping to make sure the roads remain safe during the giant tree's commute.
The yearly tree lighting has been one of Portland's most popular traditions for decades. In fact, it's so popular that the city did a live feed of the lighting during the pandemic. It was a great way to keep the spirit of the event alive.
It's not just the lighting that's back. New activities are being added as well. There will be live music, ice carving, face painting, giveaways, food and drink samples, and more. You can read more about the festivities here.
According to the post, the tree will make its move on Thursday, November 17th, with the cutting beginning around 9am. Get your camera phones ready.

We believe that 2016 will be another active year for the global real estate investment market, with capital flows likely to increase 3% to 6% from 2015 levels in local currency terms CBRE's 2016 Global Investor Intentions Survey, reflecting the input of more than 1,250 major investors worldwide, shows that investors are still strongly expansionary, with 82% of respondents indicating that their investment activity will be the same or greater compared to 2015.
Investors continue to find real estate appealing, chiefly due to the relatively higher returns and stability on offer. Our survey suggests that there is more than US$1 trillion of capital targeting commercial property investment in 2016, which should help support current pricing levels.
Investment strategies are shifting amid concerns about the health of the global economy, which is by far the top worry for investors. Not surprisingly, 2016 looks likely to be a "risk-off" year, with investors reporting they are more focused on core assets and less likely to seek secondary, value-add and alternative opportunities.
the global economy, are the most popular destinations among survey respondents. By contrast, Asia Pacific looks less attractive to investors, no doubt reflecting concerns about the China slowdown, the murky outlook for other emerging markets and overbuilding in some locations.
In terms of cities, investors continue to express a strong preference for gateway core cities. In EMEA, London topped the list but it is much less popular than in previous years. If the major German cities are grouped together, they are slightly ahead of London.
In the Americas, Los Angeles, New York and Dallas-Ft. Worth were named the top three most preferred targets. In Asia Pacific, two Australian cities — Sydney and Brisbane — were among the top five most preferred cities.
Interest in cross-border investment remains strong, with two in five respondents stating that they are seeking opportunities outside their home region. This is especially true of Asia Pacific-based investors, who are more likely to invest outside their home region compared to their colleagues in the Americas and EMEA.
In terms of asset classes, office remains the most popular property type globally, though interest is down a bit compared to last year. There is a notable uptick in interest for retail and multifamily assets from 2015.

Where can I find more information on Trusona?
It works as they say it works, great job!
I needed a replacement for Clef and did a lot of research to find something which would perform in the same way and be secure. Trusona is excellent and has proved extremely effective and their support has been outstanding. I was having an issue with the Classic Login facility and dropped them an email. They responded immediately and provided a fix the following morning. You really cannot ask more than that! I have added Trusona to all my sites now and I can thoroughly recommend it.
I am very impressed with this so far and can't understand why I haven't heard more about it! I found this plugin while searching for CLEF alternatives after wasting the best part of a week trying to get Updraft Keyy to work (Read my review on their plugin page if you want specifics!) on 13 sites with no success. Unlike Keyy, Trusona works as advertised and is extremely easy to install and quite "slick" too. There's just a couple of things missing that would really make this perfect for me: Allow users to change the image (A guy in a suite) shown during the login process. Option to "log out". At the moment you have to remember to log out manually, unless I've missed something. More admin options. I can only find one option that lets you choose if you want Trusona as the only login option or if you want Trusona and passwords. The fact that this is totally free and includes support baffles me as I would be happy to pay for this! Thanks Trusona!
Just stopping by to give a shout out to the Trusona team for doing such a great job with their product. I come from a tech support background with companies such as Hewlett Packard and Microsoft which have developed the habit in me to assure I'm always secured with anything I do on the web. I started using Trusona for the first time until this weekend and was able to register and get it working in around a minute or so. I tried it out at home with my WordPress website and it worked great. Here's a few tips you might want to know if you haven't started using it yet. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone and didn't have the screen password protected. So, when I installed the Trusona app for Android and opened it up. I got a message saying that in order to use it, I had to setup a password protected screen. I went ahead and setup an alphanumeric password on my phone and was finally able to carry on with finishing the setup of my Trusona app and connection with my WordPress website. However, today I decided to switch my phone's screen alphanumeric password to a pattern password instead. After I did this, Trusona stoppped working for me. Nevertheless, I didn't panic. I figured that me changing from a alphanumeric password to a pattern password probably had something to do with the problem and indeed that was the issue. I wasn't really sure on how to look up a support article for this particular problem since the wording for a search was rather complicated to slim down to just a few words. So, I called Truson'as free support line (1-888-Trusona) and explained the issue to see what next. They answered the phone on around the third ring which actually surprised me since I'm used to having to wait a long time on hold for people to simply pick up. I then followed the rep's instructions and was finally able to restore the QR code authentication feature again within no time. These guys are super friendly which was a total breath of fresh air. The person I spoke to was by far the most patient and easy going person I may have ever spoken to over the phone for troubleshooting guidance. I also noticed that on the official website, a small banner message came up confirming that Microsoft has now partnered up with Trusona as an investor for their operations. So, that news only makes it more comforting for me to know that I'm using the Trusona plugin for my WordPress site since Microsoft is a strong fortress within the security field. I originally planned to install the CLEF plugin in order to manage authentications to my website but after I found out that they would be retiring their product for good this year. I started looking for a reliable alternative solution and I found several bloggers talking about other security plugins which didn't seem bad but I saw several comments from random website visitors putting in a good word for Trusona. So, I decided to try it out and so far it's been working great and the best part of it all is the fact that it's free as well. In conclusion, you can't go wrong if you choose these guys to secure your website. So there you have it, an in depth end user experience reassuring you won't be disappointed with Trusona.
Been using it on two sites.

Ulster To Honour High Achievers
Leading figures in the world of education, science, business, the arts and sport are among those who will be honoured at University of Ulster graduation ceremonies this year.
US Open Golf Champion Rory McIlroy, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, actor Sir Ian McKellen and Snow Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody head a distinguished line-up of peacemakers, musicians, media personalities and other outstanding individuals who will receive honorary doctorates.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who has gained a reputation as one of the world's most admired, respected and successful football managers, is to receive the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) in recognition of his services to football.
The former Dunfermline Athletic and Glasgow Rangers player has had a glittering managerial career, lifting just about every domestic and European honour with Manchester United as well as steering Aberdeen to the Scottish League title and the European Cup Winners Cup.
He also spent a brief spell as manager of the Scottish national football team during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico but will forever be associated with the 'Red Devils'.
Northern Ireland golfer Rory McIlroy has quickly established himself as a major force in international golf as a Major winner and Ryder Cup hero.
Last June, the Holywood golfer secured his first Major title at the 2011 US Open championship at the Congressional Golf Club with a record 16-under par score, beating the field by eight shots.
The youngest winner of the US Open for almost 90 years will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) for his contribution to golf, following in the footsteps of his compatriots Graeme McDowell who received an honorary degree last year after capturing the 2010 US Open Championship and Darren Clarke who was honoured by the University in 2002 and won the Open Championship last year.
In March 2010, he officially opened the University's Sports and Exercise Sciences Research Institute laboratories on the Jordanstown campus.
Snow Patrol founding member and lead vocalist, Gary Lightbody will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters (DLitt) for services to the music industry. A native of Bangor in County Down, the musician-songwriter went to university in Scotland in 1994 to study English literature and English language. While he was there, the seeds for Snow Patrol – which has gone on to become one of Northern Ireland's most successful music exports - were sown. The band has enjoyed huge success across the world, especially with the songs 'Chasing Cars', 'Run' and 'Just Say Yes' which was used as the campaign theme tune during Derry-Londonderry's successful bid to become 2013 UK Capital of Culture.
Actor Sir Ian McKellen, CBE, is to receive the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters for his services to acting. His work has spanned genres from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and science fiction and he has many television, film and stage appearances to his credit. He is possibly best known outside the theatre for roles such as Gandalf in the 'Lord of the Rings' film trilogy, his role in X Men and a surprise appearance as a con artist in ITV's soap 'Coronation Street'. He has been filming Peter Jackson's two-part film version of 'The Hobbit' whose cast includes University of Ulster Chancellor James Nesbitt.
Irish American businessman William 'Bill' Flynn, former chairman of Mutual of America, will receive the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Laws (LLD) for his services to Peace andReconciliation.
A first-generation Irish-American with roots in Mayo and Down, he is considered by many to have played a pivotal role in the Northern Ireland peace process. In 2009 he was awarded an honorary CBE in recognition of his exceptional contribution to peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland.
Biotechnology entrepreneur Dr Susan Whoriskey from Boston will be awarded Doctor of Science for services to Biotech industry and entrepreneurship. Dr Whoriskey helped build two of Massachusetts most successful biotech companies, Cubist Pharmaceuticals and Momenta Pharmaceuticals.
She is a member of the Clinical Translational Research and Innovation Centre's (C-TRIC) International Advisory Panel.

Celebrity TV chef, author, journalist and mother Rachel Allen will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science for her contribution to Culinary Arts. The Dubliner learnt her craft – and met her husband - at the world-renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School in Cork.
Rachel's popular television series on both RTE and BBC and best selling cookery books are all based on her basic philosophy that good ingredients simply prepared give great results.
Ms Rosemary Kelly OBE will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters (DLitt) for services to the arts and education. The former chairperson of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and a Governor of the Irish Times Trust, she is also former Head of Public Affairs and Company Secretary for BBC Northern Ireland.

Since retiring as Editor in Chief, he has continued to contribute a regular column to the paper. He has also played a prominent role in the training of journalists, serving on the board of directors of the National Council for the Training of Journalists.
Tom Kelly OBE, Group Chief Executive of Stakeholder Communications, is one of Northern Ireland's most high profile current affairs commentators and has directed many high profile PR and political campaigns.
Named as one of Ireland's top 50 most influential businessmen in Britain by a leading business newspaper, he received an OBE in 2006 for his services to business. He will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of the University (DUniv) for his services to the community.
Arlene Cassidy, Chief Executive of the charity Autism Northern Ireland, will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of the University for her services to Autism. She joined Autism NI in the early 1990's having previously worked as a social worker in both statutory and voluntary sectors. In her role as Chief Executive, she has provided the strategic leadership and helped Autism NI become the lead voice for Autism in Northern Ireland and the major catalyst for policy and procedure change with statutory, voluntary and government sectors.

Both will be awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctor of the University (DUniv) for the role they played in helping to transform their respective schools and for their contribution to the local community.

Podcasting Becoming Mainstream?
Podcasting: the method of publishing a radio like program via the internet. Essentially, it is a radio program recorded to MP3 format and distributed via the web and RSS to listeners around the world. The listener simply downloads the Podcast and plays it at their leisure. Some people refer to it as Tivo for radio, but that is really only because no one really understands that it is its own entity entirely.
Admittedly, I am new to Podcasting. But so far, I am enjoying the format. It takes its name from Apple's iPod. The original theory was the people would download a Podcast and shoot it directly into their iPod. From there, they could listen to it at their leisure. But that format has already evolved into something more far reaching. For example, a growing number of listeners simply play the Podcasts on their computer using MP3 players like iTunes. Others use home media options like Elgoto's eyeHome Apple's AirTunes (via the Airport Express) to move the Podcasts to their home stereos.
But what good is a Podcast if there is no interesting content? Much to my surprise, the web is rich with content even now. Sites like Feedburner already track Pocasts and make it easier for listeners to tune into their favorite shows. This story from PlaylistMac.com does a great job of further describing the Podcast movement in detail.
It is worth mentioning that Apple's iTunes will support Podcasting in its upcoming release. That may be just what it takes for Podcasting to become the next big thing. Given the user base of iTunes and the popularity of the iPod, Apple's upgrade should make it easier than ever before subscribe to Podcast feeds.
