District Office Hours Update

4 Comments (Leave Comment)

Once again, City Hall is coming to District 6 in another series of drop-in office hours!

  • Thursday, May 26th, 3pm – 6pm
    Green Lake Public Library
  • Wednesday, June 8th, 3pm – 6pm
    Fremont Public Library
  • Thursday July 7th, 4pm – 7pm
    Greenwood Public Library

In the four sessions we’ve held so far, over 80 people came in to discuss a range of topics, from specific issues to more general concerns, including:

  • Increased development (both generally and specific projects)
  • The need for more affordable housing
  • Public safety
  • Expanding the LEAD program – referring those afflicted with addiction to services instead of jail
  • Recreational vehicles policy
  • Increasing services and housing for the homeless
  • Allowing electric bicycles on trails
  • Ride the Ducks safety – an update on the legislation, which ultimately passed
  • Sound Transit 3
  • Assistance for home damage from the Greenwood explosion
  • Encouraging more backyard cottages
  • Encouraging electric vehicle ownership
  • Freight Advisory Board appointments

For those who had specific requests or cases, my staff is looking into the issues and is following up with each constituent. Our responses have included engaging with departments for increased outreach and community policing in the Sandel Park area, inquiring into more parking areas for RV’s, connecting residents impacted by the Greenwood explosion to assistance from the Phinney Neighborhood Association, and working to create consistent policies between our Parks, Transportation, and City Light departments for electric bicycles on trails. In another blog post I discuss my efforts around affordable housing and preventing displacement in Seattle.

And as the City continues to grapple with addressing our homelessness crisis, I invite you to please join me on July 27th for a Public Forum on Safe and Healthy Communities, co-hosted by St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Ballard. More details to come soon.

Thanks again for those who have been able to stop by my office hours!

Thanks for holding office hours! I just wanted to let you know I’ve been riding my electric bike on Seattle’s bike trails since 2004, when I bought my first electric bike without any problems or incidents whatsoever. I hope people aren’t trying to ban this, because e-bikes are a great way for out of shape people to get in shape, and to get up Seattle’s dreaded hills like the one I live on (Magnolia).

I am wondering when our city streets are going to be repaved – there are so many potholes it is difficult to drive small cars on our streets. We passed the big bond issue for transportation and hope that some of that money will be used to improve the quality of our streets.

The poster has “TBD” as a location, and the text says more “details to follow”. I’m betting that these could be updated.

seattle only cares about bike riders and taking away car access to downtown seattle. that’s why you only see the best paved roads are for bikes or walking. they only fill pot holes, good luck

What the Pros Wear – Spartan Race World Championship

After the recent Spartan Race World Championships I had the opportunity to catch up with 3 finishers and ask them a few questions. Of that I made sure to find out what gear they were wearing and how each piece was chosen and mattered to them.  Read on for what Jon Albon, Ryan Atkins, and Cody Moat wore on their way to the finishing the Spartan Race Beast (Warning, link heavy post):

Jon Albon – World Championjon-albon-running

Top: I wore the inov-8 Base Elite™ Merino LS – a long sleeve tight fitting merino wool shirt. I chose to wear the merino wool base layer because I was concerned about being cold. It didn’t hinder me too much and retains very little water whilst keeping you warm. As the race got underway I didn’t feel cold at all and the water was no where near as bad as previous races in the UK, I’m not sure if it was necessary but it didn’t hurt.

Bottom: As usual I wore my Race Elite Trail Short, a no fuss lightweight short that retains little water and has space for gels in the rear pocket.

Under my shorts I wore Compressort Compression Trail Underwear Short. These compression shorts retain very little water whilst providing compression. The shorts also have gripppy patches to aid the use of hands on thighs when powering up steep climbs.

Feet: As for most obstacle races I wore my Inov-8 x-talon 212’s these have unrivaled grip, are lightweight, retain next to no water and are very endurable- most importantly they are comfy as hell though. I put on a new pair for the race and with no breaking in whatsoever they fitted like a glove and didn’t give me one blister. I also taped my laces to stop them coming undone – a trick learnt from orienteering.

And for socks I wore the Inov-8 Race Ultra™ Mid sock. Retains no water and really comfortable even if grit gets in the shoe.

Watch:  The Garmin 920xt Garmin 920xt is a great choice for Spartan race as it is made for the rigors of triathlons which involve swimming and other harsh conditions for long periods of time.

Additional Gear: I have my Dryrobe for post race warming up and changing in. These are amazing pieces of kit and essential for any but the hottest of OCR races. However, even on summer day it allows you to change with ease without flashing anyone your modesties.

My pack was the Inov-8 Race Ultra 1. This minimalist waste pouch sits really tight to your body so you forget you are wearing it. I used one of the inov-8 ergonomic bottles allowing me to carry 500ml (16.9 oz.) of water and filled the other pouch with my energy gels.

And as part of my breakfast I had a Clif Bar and ate some of the Clif Builder’s Bars post race for recovery. The sustained energy from the Clif Bar at breakfast helped power me through the race and the protein post race went a long way for recovery.

Ryan Atkinsryan-atkins-running

Top: I wore a Salomon Men’s Start Tee. It has a zipper in the front (no longer available to purchase), to vent a bit better, and the shirt gave me a little protection from any abrasion on obstacles.

Bottom: Salomon trail shorts and the Salomon EXO Calf Sleeve. These shorts have lots of pockets, they are light, and dry fast. The calf compression feels nice on the jarring descents.

Feet: Salomon fellcross and for socks the Dissent Labs long socks. I wanted a shoe with maximum grip, and minimum weight, but good durability. I love Dissent socks.

Watch: I wore the Suunto Ambit Suunto Ambit. It is a full featured watch that shows all the data you would ever need during a spartan race.

Additional Gear: I ran with Roctane energy gels, and clif shot bloks for food. No pack or water of any sort. I knew there would be lots of water on the course. And I didn’t want a pack getting caught in any barbed wire!

Cody Moatcody-moat-running

Top: My shirt was a black compression shirt that Spartan gave all it’s elite athletes. I liked it because it kept me warm early in the morning then later in the day it stayed slightly damp, thus keeping me cool.

Bottom: My shorts were the same, compression bottoms from Spartan. I don’t really have a good reason why I wear these other than they feel good and look like a uniform. I guess they also keep me warmer than regular running shorts. Then they stay damp like the shirt keeping me cool throughout the race.

Feet: I wore the Inov-8 X-talon 190’s, I really like these shoes because they have incredible traction and are very light. I have never seen a shoes with that good of traction and still be that light.

Additional Gear: I wore an Inov-8 fanny pack, it is very similar to the Inov-8 Race Ultra 1 but it is mesh (previous model to Ultra 1). I really like using this pack because it was mesh thus retaining no water. It also holds two bottles and has a pocket for whatever else I might need. I chose to only take 1 bottle and fill the other pocket with my nutrition.

Additional Thoughts: Underwear and socks don’t really matter much to me. Half the time I throw my socks away after a race because they are so dirty.

Hoka One One Clayton Review

Your browser does not support images upload. Please choose a modern one

I purchased the Hoka One One Clayton shoes prior to running A Race For The Ages (ARFTA) when I realized I would be on my feet for potentially 32 hours. In the end I only ran for about 11-12 hours before calling it quits but it was a great initial test for the Hoka One One Clayton’s.  Leading up to the race I had run about 20 mies in the Hoka One One Clayton’s to break them in and since then I have put around 200 miles on them prior to this review. These are not obstacle racing shoes, they are shoes you would run in to train for an Obstacle Course Race.

Taking in the view prior to ARFTA

Hoka One One Clayton Features

Lightweight Breathable Upper  – The upper material on these shoes is so thin and transparent that I was very nervous about it’s durability when I started wearing them. It turns out they just got the material (No-Sew TPU Lattice) perfect.

Lightweight Everything – I could go through each element of the shoe but they made everything light. The shoe weighs in at a shocking 7.3 oz. The only area I was a little concerned with the weight cutting was the heel cup. I’m guilty of not untying my shoes between wears and when I slide my foot in I can easily crush the heel area. No problem here, just an observation for some people that may need more shoe support.

Wide Foot Base – Hoka calls this feature – Oversize Active Foot Frame – what it boils down to is the sole of the shoe has a wide footprint. I think this provides some stability that makes up for the shoes general lack of structure. It’s not an often used concept and I wouldn’t want to wear shoes with this feature on a trail run but it works here.

Hoka One One Clayton Usage

As I stated in my intro, I wore these shoes initially for two training runs of around 10 miles prior to 40 miles at ARFTA. One thing I didn’t mention in my intro was that when I ordered them I bought my normal size of 9.5 and a size 10. I did this because my last Hoka’s that I bought felt very short at 9.5 and were constantly rubbing my toes. I tried them on and ended up returning the 9.5’s, this is the first time for any shoe ever in 15 years that I have bought a size up. I was immediately nervous about buying a size up but after running in them I realized it’s the the way I need to buy Hoka’s from now on. My old Hoka Clifton’s have the outside area of both toe boxes cut out so I can wear them on occasion.

Hoka Clifton with Cutout

When it came to actually using the Hoka One One Clayton I found them to be surprisingly supportive with their stripped down weight. I mean, you are running in shoes that feel like road racing flats but they have 24mm of cushioning in the heel and 20mm in the forefoot. The break in period was not noticeable (for my body/sore muscles) and pretty much seamless going from Inov-8 Ultra 270’s to these. What I did notice was the very cushioned feel in comparison, these feel like pillows like the rest of Hoka’s shoe lineup.

I have worn them only on packed trails/ road and that is the only surfaces I would suggest because of their wide base. The base of Hoka’s used to make me nervous because it was so built up tall that you can roll your ankle easily in them since the fulcrum point it creates and these are similar but in width instead. They width does feel safer than the platform like style of the other Hoka One One’s.

The only real issue that these shoes have is that the grip is very soft and as a result not durable. They are using a new type of material called RMAT and it trades off durability for performance. After about 200 miles the heel has almost worn through to the cushioning. I’m a little annoyed here because they are such expensive shoes ($150) and it looks like I can maybe get 300-350 miles out of them which is a poor investment for running shoes. I’ll be emailing Hoka to see if this is normal and to get an official response that I will update here.

Hoka One One Clayton Durability

The durability of the Upper is, as I stated previously, perfect. Hoka managed to get a super breathable and thin upper that shows no signs of ripping. The sole is the main area of concern and I would love to hear from other people that have worn these if their soles have worn down fast. Leave Comments and Reviews!

Hoka One One Clayton Pros and Cons

  • Very Light weight 7.3 oz
  • Breathable upper
  • Great Cushioning

  • Expensive – $150
  • Not durable sole

Hoka One One Clayton Conclusion

The main question that matters – would I suggest you buy the Hoka One One Clayton? Yes – but be aware you may need to replace them sooner than you would like. If you are trying to keep you running habit to a bare minimum as far as costs are concerned, don’t buy these. What the Clayton’s bring to the table is a high performance shoe that is on the expensive end of shoes. Like many thing in life you get to pick two – Good, fast, or cheap – Hoka chose good and fast for these shoes and that’s what you get in the Hoka One One Clayton.

Spartan Race to Drug Test at World Championships?

Spartan Race has announced that they will be partnering with USADA to provide “anti-doping education” at this years Spartan Race World Championships (SRWC) in Lake Tahoe. From what we know about the testing that USADA provides, this testing is very thorough. A few OCR athletes are known to hedge around the question about performance enhancing drugs and it should be very interesting to see if any of them are no shows at the SRWC based on today’s announcement.

There are a couple of problems with today’s news, however. First, there is no clear designation on whether the athletes will be tested at this year’s event or not. Let’s assume for a minute that Spartan’s intention is to test at Lake Tahoe. Then, this press release serves as a warning, which leads us to our second issue. This type of “scheduled” drug testing almost never amounts to much more than an IQ test. If you know you are having a drug test you can easily cycle out of the drugs you are using based on the type of test you will be receiving. Hopefully, this is the start of what’s known as “out of competition” drug testing as well, not just on race day.

There are many more questions that we can’t wait to hear the answer to…

Will it be for top 5 finsheres? Top 10? Potentially All athletes?

Why did Spartan chose USADA over WADA? (WADA is the association that The OCRWC has chosen to partner with).

Blood test or urine test?

Out of competition testing?

The questions go on and on, we will keep you updated as we learn more. The complete Spartan press release can be read below:

We at ORM support drug testing in the sport of obstacle racing. What’s your take on this announcement?

Boston, Mass. (September 21, 2016) – Beginning at the 2016 Spartan Race World Championship in Lake Tahoe, Calif., Spartan Race is pleased to announce the creation of a joint educational initiative operating in conjunction with the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) that will help provide athletes with a baseline understanding of anti-doping regulations and best practices. For many athletes, this will be their first chance to learn how anti-doping helps protect the health and wellness of athletes, as well as the integrity of sport, while also ensuring that athletes are able to compete clean and win.

Prior to the start of competition, USADA will deliver a 30-minute educational presentation at 3:00 p.m. on September 30, which will cover topics like the World Anti-Doping Code, performance-enhancing substances, the risks associated with dietary supplements, and the sample collection process. Athletes will then be able to interact, ask questions, and learn more about anti-doping throughout the weekend by visiting with USADA’s representatives. Friendly experts will also direct athletes to USADA’s various anti-doping resources, such as the Athlete Pocket Guide and Wallet Card.

“By introducing athletes to USADA and anti-doping, Spartan is fully supporting the concept that clean competition is crucial to growing a sustainable and globally recognized sport,” said Spartan Race COO Jeffrey Connor. “This step also illustrates Spartan Race’s continued commitment to the preservation of a level playing field.”

How to Replace Battery in Garmin Forerunner 405

The Garmin Forerunner 405 is a classic GPS watch by Garmin. You can find many of them available for sale on eBay for a steal. The great thing about old GPS watches like the Garmin 405 is that they still track GPS just as well as the new ones. The only thing that has been added to improve tracking accuracy is the GLONASS integration on a limited selection of  GPS watches.

So how do you change the battery on a Garmin 405? It’s easier than it looks but it requires some basic soldering skills, please proceed at your own risk. Here is a layout of the tools that I used and suggest using:

1. Start by flipping the Garmin 405 over and removing the 4 rear screws with a Torx 5 (T5) screw driver.

2. Once the back is unscrewed do not pull it off immediately as there is still a connector attached that you will want to use the flat head screwdriver or a spudger to remove. Disconnect carefully and separate the back from the watch.

3. After the back is separated, carefully remove all the tape and stickers. You will also want to remove the battery which has a sticky type of glue from the rear plastic housing.

4. Now you need to remove the old battery with your soldering iron and soldering wick. Touch the two contacts with the soldering iron, once the solder is wet, use the wick to absorb it and then separate the batteries connecting tab.

5. Now you will start reversing the process. Take the new battery you have purchased and bend the tabs so that they will neatly wrap around the circuit board as the other batteries tabs had. **Important Note – as you can see on your circuit board there is a negative and a positive connection. Look at your battery to see which side is which before soldering on.** Then, with the help of the helping hands or real helping hands, solder the new battery onto the board. My solder connections here were very neat or clean but the important part is to not glob on too much solder and have a clean connection.

6. Attach the stickers to the battery and the battery to the watch case rear housing. If the glue stayed on your battery and not the case don’t worry – it is snug inside of there and doesn’t require glue but you can use double sided tape if you’d like.

7. Carefully reconnect the connector to the main watch body and screw your 4 torx screws back into place. That’s it! Charge it up and go for a run!

Tailwind Nutrition Review

Your browser does not support images upload. Please choose a modern one

There has been a lot of talk about Tailwind nutrition recently in the Obstacle Course Racing and the ultra running community. With OCR events lasting multiple hours, like many running ultra races, people are trying to figure out how to get all the calories they need for such sustained efforts. Along with having easy calories from dextrose and sucrose, they also throw in enough sodium and potassium to be comparable to Gatorade. But the one big difference between Tailwind and something like Gatorade is that as stated on Tailwinds products, “No Gut Bombs”. Which means you can take these down all day long without that sudden need to run off into the woods and to make an entry in the captains log.

Tailwind Nutrition Features

Stomach Friendly  – The No Gut Bomb statement is true. I’m not a scientist or a gastroenterologist but I have an extremely sensitive stomach that gets upset at the idea of being upset. I have drank all 7 flavors of Tailwind nutrition on runs from 1 hour to 4+ hours without any stomach issues. That passes the No Gut Bomb test for me.

Light Flavors – All of the 7 flavors, especially the “Naked Unflavored”, are incredibly smooth because of their subtle flavors. They give you the idea you are drinking something such as a nice lightly sweetened green tea without beating you over the head with the flavoring that most companies add.

Instant Dissolve – Going into testing their products I have a good deal of experience with many other sports drink powders and expected a similar experience. Usually you want to fill the bottle with a little warm water and let them dissolve before pouring in ice and/or cold water. With Tailwind Nutrition you can get an ice cold bottle of water and pour it right in. After about one minute in cold water there is no trace of it.

Tailwind Nutrition Usage

Using Tailwind for most of my recent running has left me spoiled. Normally when I train I seldom bring gels, water, sports drinks or any nutrition for anything under 10 miles. I know most people like to set their bar for water and gel a little lower but I try and keep it simple. While testing Tailwind for review I started consuming half a packet before 7 mile runs and loading it into my hydration pack for runs over 7 miles. It’s amazing just how much better I feel and without the worry I’ll be hunting porcelain along the streets.

You could attribute the better feeling to my bringing proper hydration and calories. But while infrequent, I have in the past brought water and gel on enough runs to know the difference. There is a different feeling and simplicity to just drinking liquid and not having to choke down a thick gel. With gels I always feel like I’m a little uneasy about 10-15 minutes after and 20-30 minutes after consuming. They leave me hoping that I won’t have a bad reaction even with my usually safe Root Beer flavored GU’s.

One more thing worth noting is how they all mix clear. I like the idea that they aren’t adding things that aren’t needed and it shows by leaving out the coloring. The neon like color of other sports drinks have grown old and seem unneeded.

Tailwind Nutrition Pros and Cons

  • Gentle Flavor
  • No stomach issues
  • Easy to mix

  • Some people don’t like the packaging or mixing powders
  • You need to carry two bottles if you also want water

Tailwind Nutrition Conclusion

Wether you are just getting into consuming calories on the go, or have been, you should try Tailwind Nutrition. It is simple and has all you need for energy during your entire activity. In the future I’ll be buying more Tailwind and less gels to keep me going. Try the Green Tea Buzz if you enjoy a subtle caffeine kick during your runs!

Brooks PureGrit 5 Review

Brooks PureGrit 5
3.4 / 5 Overall
{{ reviewsOverall }} / 5 Users (0 votes)
Water Draining
Leave your rating

Your browser does not support images upload. Please choose a modern one

The Brooks PureGrit 5 is Brooks latest update to their PureGrit trail shoe series. This version has seen the midfoot wrap call the Nav-Band disappear but the shoes grip has remained the same. Another thing that they have left untouched is the 4mm drop which is a nice level between no drop and average ( 0mm – 7mm ). That’s enough about how the shoe is made, let’s get into the review.

Brooks PureGrit 5 Features

Hex Lugs  – The PureGrit 5 has a very interesting shape to their lugs, they are 6 sided unlike the more traditional 4 or 3 sided lugs. I’m not sure how much this affects the grip but the depth of 3/16″ for the lugs is on par with most trail shoes and doesn’t leave you wanting more.

Rounded Heel Cup – The heel cup provides a very cushioned and controlling feel while not being overly restrictive. The overall feel of the heel was something I immediately noticed because of how unique it felt. Most running shoes are basically just structure with cloth wrapped around them. But the PureGrit 5 has a pillow like feel that still manages to keep you feeling locked in.

Brooks PureGrit 5 Usage

As soon as I got these in the mail, as usual, I instantly changed my plans to run later in the day and threw them on for a run down my local trail. I had mentioned just before the cushion feeling and how that was something I wasn’t sure about when I initially took them out – I like my shoes to feel wide and roomy. These are very padded and a little claustrophobic feeling at first but this does wane as they break in. Still with all things considered I’m not sure I would ever wear these for anything over 12 miles since my feet have some issues with swelling and pressure on the nerves.

After about 50 miles in the shoes I found that they still looked like new and the durability overall was outstanding. I ran on mostly technical trails and even some more bushwhacking type trails where I was just jamming my feet between jagged rocks that would have destroyed a shoe like the Reebok All-Terrain Super OR. There is a toe box coating of a rubber like material that I’m pretty sure could withstand a knife attack or be your first line of defense in a bear attack if you could coat your body in it.

When the Brooks PureGrit 5 did get wet I found this to be an area that left something to be desired. I run in a rotation of Inov-8 Ultra 290’s, Salomon S-Lab Sense Ultra 5′s, and Reebok All-terrain Thrill’s that would all outperform the PureGrit 5 as far as draining and water retention. The PureGrit 5 isn’t worse than regular road running shoes but it is at the lower end compared to trail shoes.

Brooks PureGrit 5 Durability

Durability is one area the PureGrit 5 excels in beyond most trail shoes used for Obstacle Racing. As I previously mentioned they have a toe box that can withstand small arms attacks, and the rest of the upper shows signs of where I stepped on a board with nails sticking out but no rips. The sole of the shoe also has an interesting section on the rear corner where most peoples heel striking hits. Instead of uniformly covering the bottom in hex lugs they added a reinforced section that will withstand more use than a lug as you can see in the photo below.

Brooks PureGrit 5 Pros and Cons

  • Very Durable
  • Innovative grip solution

  • Poor water drainage
  • Narrow

ORM ReviewYesYesYes

Brooks PureGrit 5 Conclusion

If these shoes were more spacious I would wear them more often. As it is the Brooks PureGrit 5 is a hard shoe for me to wear since my usual training runs gets near the limit of where foot swelling would become an issue. If you have average to narrow feet these shoes should be an option you look into. I enjoyed the grip and the protective nature of the shoes for when I just want to run through rough terrain and not worry about my shoes holding up. This should could be your ideal shoe, or too narrow, so it’s worth buying them if you are looking to experiment a different type of trail shoe.

The Stress Monster is Back.

I did weigh in this past week, but I forgot to blog... So here we go:
1. September 13, 2010 - start week 16
2. +2.2 pounds
3. 12.8 pounds lost total
4. Current weight: 178.0

Yeah, the stress of school is taking a bit of a toll. and being sick didn't help too much either... Oh well, tomorrow's another day!

I just got an interesting phone call...

I was supposed to start my Bridal Bootcamp tomorrow, and someone from the fitness center just called me. Apparently, I was the only person who signed up! Seriously? Then she tells me that they are going to cancel the class because they can't run it with just one person.

I'm thinking, sure you can! It's called personal training!! Alas, no such luck.

But she had an offer for me. She runs a class that is similar to the Bridal Bootcamp and even though I don't actually "qualify" to take this class, she felt bad and wanted to bend the rules so that I could take the class.

So on Tuesday, I'm starting Mommy Bootcamp.

Hey, at least it's a bootcamp of some sort! :)

Right to privacy is inherent in Constitution, SC told

New Delhi: Senior counsel Gopal Subramanium told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that the right to privacy is a pre-existing natural right which is inherent in the Constitution though not explicitly mentioned.

Subramanium is leading the argument on behalf of the petitioners who have challenged the Aadhaar scheme on the grounds of its being violative of the right to privacy.

Subramanium said that “The right to privacy is recognised as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. The concept of privacy is embedded in liberty as well as honour of a person.”

His arguments came as the apex court on Wednesday commenced hearing on the question whether right to privacy was a fundamental right.

A nine-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar is examining the nature of privacy as a right in context of two judgments of 1954 and other in 1962 which had held that right to privacy was not a fundamental right.

Besides, Chief Justice Khehar, other judges on the bench are Justice J. Chelameswar, Justice S.A. Bobde, Justice R.K. Agrawal, Justice Rohinton Fali Nariman, Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre, Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice S. Abdul Nazeer.

Taking forward the argument that privacy is a fundamental right, senior counsel Shyam Divan told the bench that even Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley during a debate on the Aadhaar Bill in the Rajya Sabha had asserted that privacy was a fundamental right linked to right of liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution.

Responding to a question during debate in the Rajya Sabha on March 16, 2016, Finance Minister Jaitley had said that the top court was considering the conflicting judgments on privacy and whether it was a fundamental right or not.

Having said that Jaitley told the Rajya Sabha that “The present bill (Aadhaar) pre-supposes and is based on a premise that it is too late in the day to contend that privacy is not a fundamental right. So I do accept that probably privacy is a fundamental right.”

Jaitley had told the Rajya Sabha that “It is now accepted that privacy is a part of individual liberty” and referring to Article 21 he said “Let us assume that privacy is a part of liberty and no person shall be deprived of privacy without due process of law”.

Having quoted the Union Finance Minister in support of his contention that privacy was a fundamental right, Divan said that in the past 40 years since the mid-1970s different benches of the top court have consistently held that privacy was a fundamental right.

He urged the bench to reaffirm this right.

Talking to media persons after the meeting, principal secretary, Home, Asit Tripathy said discussions on security and development aspects were held.

“Mostly the discussion was focussed on developmental works in left wing extremism (LWE) areas of the state. On behalf of the state government we demanded increase in the bandwidth of 257 existing mobile towers from 512 KBPS to 1 MBPS. Besides, we also requested the Cabinet secretary for approval of the proposal given to the Centre for setting up of 518 new mobile towers in the LWE areas,” he added.

Tripathy further said banking penetration in the LWE areas is very less. Since last 18 months, 12 bank branches and 14 ATM counters have been opened in Koraput and Malkangiri districts. “Since about 70 percent of the population in the LWE areas is deprived of banking facilities, we requested the Cabinet secretary to take necessary steps to set up micro ATM, ATM, Banking Correspondents, the Home secretary pointed out.

Kandhamal: survivors seek Prez’s intervention for justice

New Delhi: A committee representing a group of survivors of 2008 Kandhamal communal violence in Odisha today sought President Pranab Mukherjee’s intervention to ensure the victims get “long-awaited” criminal justice, adequate compensation and rehabilitation.

Speaking to meadiapersons here, CPI (M) politburo member Brinda Karat and her CPI (ML) Liberation counterpart Kavitha Krishnan, who accompanied the group, said a nation-wide campaign would be launched against the alleged injustice meted out to the survivors.

The delegation of survivors, led by senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar, Karat and Krishnan, had also called on Mukherjee yesterday seeking his attention on the issue.

“Such a big anti-Christian carnage, communal violence…not a single of murderers, those involved in destruction of homes of Christian community members, rapes of women is in jail.

“…so many people are out of their villages, homes.

Hence, the delegation met the President,” Karat told reporters here.

Claiming the victims’ standard of living has only declined over the period, Karat said, the Centre and Odisha government should reassess the compensation to be offered to the victims and and take rehabilitation measures.

The ex-MP insisted criminal cases including “communally motivated rapes” of women be reopened and witnesses in the matters be provided protection as the alleged perpetrators, she said, are “roaming free” and may use “intimidating tactics.”

Karat claimed that it will be “wrong” to presume that “communal” atmosphere in Kandhamal has changed to any extent in the wake of BJP’s defeat in the state during the 2014 general polls and alleged “RSS continues to have influence over local administration.”

“We are going to have a nation-wide campaign to bring justice to Kandhamal victims and that also requires punishment of those involved who today are free men…roaming freely, intimidating witnesses and subverting the law,” she said.

Fr Ajay Singh, member of the committee, claimed justice continues to elude the victims and expressed concerns over alleged poor conviction rate.

“The President gave us a patient hearing. After being ignored for justice with all doors shut locally, we came to meet him Delhi wanting justice,” Singh said.

He believes that i24 will battle prejudice against, and ignorance about Israel with facts and “diversity.”

Old habits like these are so hard to break*

It was seventh grade. She was Mrs. Olivas. Typing teacher. A rail thin Hispanic woman with long black hair, parted down the middle, a sour face and an even sourer disposition.

(sourer doesn't sound right, but Word grammar checker told me that "more sour" was incorrect...so let's roll with it)

Mrs. Olivas taught my brother, well ahead of me in school. She taught my sister.

And then she taught me.

There we all sat, trembling, at the keyboards of electric typewriters distributed about the classroom. Eyes forward. No looking at your fingers!

Mrs. Olivas would wander the room, shouting letters like a drill sergeant. We would type what she shouted. In unison our keys would strike the paper.

My sister had warned me, with her accent, her "v" sounded like "b" and vice versa. And she graded harshly when you got it wrong.

Mrs. Olivas taught us that after every period ending a sentence, you hit that space bar twice.

End a sentence, space twice, start the next sentence.

One space looked too crowded. Too hard to tell where one sentence ended and the next began.

Two spaces.

No questions. Don't ask. Two spaces.

I follow this great lady, Debbie Ridpath Ohi, on Twitter (her screen name is inkyelbows). She is a writer and creates spot on comics about and for writers.

So imagine the shock and awe in my world when I read the following re-Tweet:

@inkyelbows From literary agent @Ginger_Clark "Authors: stop double spacing after every paragraph. It's unnecessary."

What?!? Sputter sputter. What!?!?

I say.....WHAT?!?!

Ok, to be fair, Twitter itself had me changing my typing habit. Why type two spaces when that takes two of the precious 140 characters? So I figured in the Twitter-verse, it was ok.

But in my regular writing? Stories, emails, blog posts. Can I stop?

Period-space-space is in my muscle memory! It lives in my cells!

Seventh grade was almost thirty years ago! If I don't period-space-space won't Mrs. Olivas come haunt me in my sleep like the La Llorona of the Smith Corona?

"Peerrrioood-spaaaaace-spaaaaace," she will howl outside my window!

I found this bit of explanation online: " It is generally accepted that the practice of putting two spaces at the end of a sentence is a carryover from the days of typewriters with monospaced typefaces."

So to do a period-space-space is something of a throwback. It marks me as "old school." Someone who learned to type on an actual typewriter.

Ok, fine. I'm trying. Every day I'm trying to retrain my obstinate thumb to only tap that space bar once. Just once.

It's tough! I still have to do a find and replace when I finish any document, including this blog post.

I'm too old to learn new tricks!!!!

Oh, and:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

*apologies to Hank Williams Jr for bastardizing his lyric.

Coming tomorrow: "Three Grammar rules that are okay to break." My world is off its axis!

"Same" by Snow Patrol

Same again.Here we are with another day of snow. We are not so used to having so much snow here although some people would have us believe that it snows here all winter. We are not set up to cope with long spells of snow and ice on the ground unlike Canada where everyone has a set of winter tyres designed for driving on snowy roads. They usually have long winters there and need to be prepared. We are not prepared so things grind to a stop. Stores run out of essentials and everyone starts to panic buy as if the World is coming to an end. Well, not everyone panics, there are some people like myself who just laugh at it all.
Have a nice day.

Hello "Kid"!

Enjoying your photos of the snow. We've gotten only a mere dusting here in North Oxfordshire, a few weeks ago, and nothing at all so far today. We are hoping for some today...would be nice to get snowed for a little while. But I'm sure you and your family (including the 4-legged members!) are sick and tired of it by now. The beauty wears off quickly, doesn't it?

Anyway, we're thinking of you this afternoon. FINALLY got around to updating Lord Celery after too long -- I've hardly had time to breathe these last 2 weeks or so, I've been doing so much teaching in London. Will be off to Houston the first week in April, so I'll have a nice reunion with friends there coming up.

Take care...

Cleaning Table Top Fountains

Cleaning Table Top Fountains
Designed by
All Rights Reserved

How can you maintain and clean a table top fountain?
Using distilled water is the first step-it will slowly evaporate, so each day just add a little bit to the fountain. Don't use tap water, spring water or jugs labeled drinking water. All of these have minerals in them and you'll most likely develop a build-up.

You'll need to clean your fountain every 2-3 months, especially if you aren't "treating it" with something like Protec or Fountec, If you have pets these probably won't be an option, unless you can be sure it's where your pet won't have access to it. You'll only need a drop of a solution like Fountec each week, so it lasts a long, long time. But, it kills any plant life, such as algae, in the fountain. You can make a nice display with your fountain and surround it with plants if you wish and still use the solution.

Don't use household bleach in your fountain. It can be used to clean the fountain, but don't add it to the water when it's running. To clean, take apart the fountain carefully, and wearing gloves, wash it in a mild bleach/water solution. Rinse, and dry, then put it back together. To remove hard water stains, try using vinegar on the stains with a scrubbing sponge to remove the stains.

WTFFFFFFFFF I'm at the point where I've been hurt so many times this year that I'm mad at myself for letting myself get so involved with these guys in the first place. I'm hurt so much from everything and all these guys I'm not even mad anymore, I don't want to cry or wallow or party. I don't even want to meet any more guys and end up getting hurt again. Alone is better. Like Tom said, lonliness is underrated. All I want to do is find a guy, and play him. Play him and break his heart like mine. I want to hookup with ____ fucking _____'s friends and make him see what he missed out on. Twice. I forgive for the first time, but now? Forgive once and you're nice, forgive twice and you look fucking dumb. It's the last straw. I'm so hurt, so mad. Never again.
I don't know. Do I regret it? I miss the company. I miss him more than I am possibly willing to admit. I didn't want it going any farther or anything like that, I just wanted to become friends. I wanted to grow older as friends, talk about our problems on a daily basis til we become best friends and became comfortable with eachother to joke about anything and hug knowing that this friendship is something meaningful. I wanted to give eachother advice about school and other girls and guys in our lives that gave us drama, laugh about our past mistakes and go eat lunch together once in a while to catch up on old times. I just wanted to keep this friendship and have it grow. I want us to be on speaking terms. A comfortable friendship. To say we're friends. To be okay.
I want to be okay again. That is all.

Hugh Jackman: Yuna Kim is “certain to win!”

Leave a comment

South Korean figure skater Yuna Kim probably has a lot of famous fans after taking home Olympic gold from Vancouver two years ago, but now she can add movie star Hugh Jackman to that list.

Why? Well, upon hearing that Kim was skating to a song from the Les Misérables soundtrack in her recent competitions, the Australian actor who happens to be starring in the latest film version of the classic book/musical/what-have-you due out next month proclaimed that Kim was the “best” and is “certain to win. 100 percent.”

Jackman, who was taking questions after a press screening in Seoul earlier this week, then invited Yu-Na and six of her closest friends to come see the film with him, just in case she needed to “get some inspiration or listen to the music.”

He also seemed excited about the prospect of appearing with Kim and Russell Crowe in Les Misérables on Ice in the future, which drew laughs from the crowd even though most would absolutely go see it.

We only hope that Kim takes Jackman up on his offer before her competition in Dortmund, Germany beginning Dec. 5, otherwise she might have to fight the crowds when the film is released on Christmas day.

History was made in PyeongChang in all sorts of ways, but the U.S. figure skaters put their name in the books at these Winter Games.

Here’s a look at all the ways figure skaters from Team USA pushed the sport forward in 2018.

Nathan Chen is the first skater to hit five clean quads in a free skate at the Olympics

Nathan Chen was disappointed in his short program, where he took a few unexpected tumbles. With medal contention seeming out of the picture, Chen was able to freely skate without pressure.

Despite missing his first quad attempt, Chen nailed the subsequent five to move all the way up to fifth place.

Mirai Nagasu is the first U.S. woman to do a triple Axel at the Olympics

It was this moment that really put the Americans in medal contention for the team event. A move rarely done by any competitors at all, Nagasu laid it all on the line and perfectly executed her triple Axel.

Nigeria’s Onaiyekan Now A Prince Of Catholic Church

Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday officially named Nigeria’s Archbishop John Onaiyekan and five other non-European cardinals to the body that will elect his successor, saying the move underlined the Church’s diversity.  The 85-year-old pontiff presided over the ceremony in St Peter’s Basilica that elevated the six prelates to the Catholic Church’s College of Cardinals.
The body “presents a variety of faces, because it expresses the face of the universal Church,” he said in a development that has been welcomed by critics concerned that the college has become increasingly Euro-centric under Benedict.

Ribadu Oil Report Stirs Controversy, Denials

Mallam Nuhu Ribadu: report stirs controversy

A probe alleging Nigeria has lost out on tens of billions of dollars in recent years through questionable practices in Africa’s biggest oil-and-gas industry has stirred controversy and calls for action.

The report from a government-appointed task force, headed by former anti-graft czar, Nuhu Ribadu, has not been officially made public, but leaked copies have generated strong responses from officials, the state oil firm and private companies, which dispute many of its findings.

Anti-corruption activists seeking changes to an industry that operates with little transparency and which has long been seen as awash with graft have however sought to pressure the government into addressing the problems alleged.
