No wonder Bob Dylan bought a house here in the 1980s. Probably the most beautiful block in the City.

The best decision I ever made was to not let circumstance dictate my success.

 

Rafael E. Chicolugo is promoted to the rank of first lieutenant by Brig. Gen. John Uberti, U.S. Army Installation Management Command's deputy commanding general, in a ceremony Nov. 7 at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Chicolugo was also presented with a Purple Heart and Combat Action Badge during the cermony. He was injured Sept. 16 when an improvised explosive device detonated during a dismounted combat patrol in Afghanistan, resulting in the amputation of his lower leg.

WEEK28 - something people will walk by in a glance...into something meaningful

[for Weekly Photo Scavenger Hunt group]

The state of the Guildhall 23 September 2013.

The other day I let Luciano feed himself. It was so cute to watch. He's at the age where he constantly strives to be independent. At the end of breakfast, there was milk and Cheerios everywhere, but that's okay :)

Antonio Guzman Lopez's One Year Angelversary

 

Saturday, February 21at 2:00pm - 5:00pm - San Jose, California

 

What's Justice4Josiah?

 

(Description from Justice4Josiah's Facebook page)

 

"Justice for Josiah is a San Jose/Santa Clara County based campaign struggling for resolution, prevention, justice and healing for the communities, families and victims of police violence, abuse and murder. We are centered around the love we have for one another, not a hatred of those whose aim seems to only be doing our communities, our families and our loved ones harm.

 

If you have info on the case or want to reach us directly -

 

email: justice4josiah[at]riseup.net

 

A note from Laurie:

 

"Justice for Josiah" is about the Love and Pain I feel for my son Josiah who is only 4 who no longer has his Father Antonio Lopez.

 

This tragedy has hurt Josiah, my daughter Angelique, whom Antonio raised since she was 3, his Parents in Nayarit, family members, a community and myself as well.

 

I believe God has chosen me to endure this pain because he knows I am strong, and will not fight for Justice with the hate, anger or negativity life has thrown at me, but with the Love I have for my kids and family, with the Passion I've always had in me to defend those who don't know how or afraid to defend themselves.

 

As a Community who not only seeks Justice for Josiah, but for past victims... we need to manage our Thoughts and Emotions and NOT ALLOW them to be Dictated by the Negative and Hostile Environment Created by the Police and Justice System.

 

We need to put to use the Ability to endure these tragedies, at the hands of these Cops and Never give up or Surrender our struggle for what's RIGHT!

 

As a Community, we can not only Achieve "Justice for Josiah", but also for past families of victims of police brutality, murder and injustice and strive to prevent future families from having to suffer these senseless beatings, murders by Cops who are suppose to "Protect and Serve".

 

Killing is Killing, Badge or No Badge, it's WRONG!

 

THOU SHALL NOT KILL, is one of the Ten Commandments.

 

God Bless everyone who has been by my side showing support, love encouragement and guidance.

You are all truly Angels sent in disguise to me, Josiah and Angelique and we are so thankful for all of you!

 

We will overcome!

 

- Laurie Valdez

I have fallen in love with this shot. So much that I have printed it as a 48x36 print and it is framed and hanging in my bedroom. It is, for me, a wonderful shot which captures the energy and eagerness which these two thoroughbreds exhibited about six strides from the starting gate. Muscles and tendons straining, nostrils flared, striving for that lead. Their jockey's, while astride a coiled spring releasing and recoiling repeatedly over the soft track. From the time those gates spring open, to the time the jockey dismounts, the horses are creating their own wave. Relentlessly pursuing the spot in front. Relentlessly eager to cross that finish line. I haven't had a chance to edit the rest of the shots from that day at the races, but hope to soon.

The Scottish Tractor Pullers Club

The Scottish Tractor Pullers Club (STPC) was formed in 1985 and consists today of around 25 members who all strive to put on the very best tractor pulling events in Scotland. The STPC are the only club in the United Kingdom to own and operate a fully licensed ETPC sledge, with all relevant safety features, as well as being the only club in Scotland to follow best practice safety rules. The STPC, together with the Midlands Tractor Pullers Club (MTPC) and the North West Tractor Pullers Club (NWTPC) are affiliated to the British Tractor Pullers Association (BTPA) who, along with a number of other European tractor pulling clubs, make up the European Tractor Pullers Committee (ETPC). The ETPC defines all safety and performance rules for all member countries, such as tractor classes and sledge rules. This enables tractors from all over Europe to pull together against each other in different countries. Although the STPC hold their own points championships, many Scottish Tractors compete in the BTPA championships alongside teams from the MTPC and the NWTPC. BTPA championship winners then have the option of travelling to the ETPC's European Championships, a two day event held in a different ETPC member country each year, for the chance to become a European Champion!!!

The officers of the student-run Investment Management Group (supervised by Dr. David Myers) are putting on a talk about financial markets for some high school students who are in the Strive Program (website: striveyouth.com/) today - Feb 27th at 5:15PM in the FSL.

Funeral for Our Future - Service conducted by Stop Adani Melbourne and friends, officiated by Uniting Church Minister Rev Alex Sangster, Processional march by Riff Raff Marching Band, Songs lead by the Climate Choir, Eulogy for the Reef by Alan Cuthbertson from Stop Adani Melbourne, Eulogy for Nature by Joseph Birckhead and Audrey Cooke, Euologu for Children's Future by teenager Marco Bellemo, Call to Action by Rev Alex Sangster and Marco Bellemo.

 

A very moving two hour ceremony that started and finished in Federation Square in the Melbourne DBD on Saturday 1st December. It comes after Adani announced they would be proceeding with the Carmichael coal mine in the Galilee basin, such announcement coming in the middle of an extreme heatwave and catastrophic fires across Queensland.

 

A processional march ocurred across Flinders street,past the iconic clocks of Flinders street station and back to Federation Square.

 

The Funeral for our Future comes a day after several thousands students marched in Melbourne in a climate strike calling for Stop Adani, 100% renewables by 2030, and leadership by our politicians at state and Federal levels.

 

The events comes on the eve of the United Nations climate Change conference in Katowice, Poland, #COP24, due to start on December 2, 2018, which has the task of adopting the rulebook for the Paris Agreement that was passed at COP21 in Paris in 2015, that set the goals of limiting temperatures to well below 2C and strive for 1.5C by 2050.

Because Astrobunny! That's why!

SPEAKER - Jean Leggett

 

Our first speaker is Jean Leggett, co-founder and CEO of One More Story Games, the developer of StoryStylus, a simplified authoring platform for amateur and professional writers to create, publish and market diverse narrative-based video games. Jean is the lead writer of the Charlaine Harris game adaptation of “Shakespeare’s Landlord” to be published in early 2019 about a woman coming to grips with her PTSD from sexual assault when she discovers a murder close to home.

 

In her talk "Stories that haunt us and heal us: exploring mental health, abuse and trauma through games narrative” Jean will be speaking about the design of Charlaine Harris’ "Shakespeare's Landlord," a novel-to-game adaptation and how the development team designed narrative choices, events and characters to mindfully explore trauma, PTSD and character progression within the construct of a 2D mystery adventure game.

 

SPEAKER - Arno Görgen

 

Our second speaker is Arno Görgen, research associate at the University of the Arts in Bern. Over the past years Arno has worked in various medicine-historic institutes researching topics like "Violence towards Kids" and "Science and Pop Culture". He's currently graduating at the University in Bern with his project „Biohorror in Digital Games“.

 

His talk "Mental Health in Digital Games. Ethics and Aesthetics of the Unplayable" is going to focus on the depiction of mental illness in video games.
