French Stewart as BUSTER KEATON!
I'll admit that I was swept away by the music but when I started to truly understand what was happening in the story, when Alfie clearly shows he is in love with Robby, things begin to really fall into place. With a bizarre but dutiful relationship between Alfie and his sister, Lily, the protector, anchor, and opinionated powerhouse; the friendship between Alfie and Robby that is seemingly innocent and true; the importance of the theatre to every character involved; societal persecution; the unfortunate backdrop of conservatism rearing it's head to take the freedom and swell of joy right out of it – this was a play/musical that leaves you full of thought, a bit of sadness, and a reason to feel your voice needs to sound.
On opening night, April 27, The North Plan suddenly became the highlight of my year. The night was chilly, but it did not cool down the fire that erupted inside The Elephant Theatre. The cozy, comfortable stage allowed the audience to get close to the actors and feel the play and experience a night full of laughter and thought.
We've all been through some torrid relationship where we love entirely or hate entirely, been overly emotional, blown things out of proportion, made tragic mistakes that cost us the ones we love, or – if you're lucky – learn to just laugh it all off as "experience", a "life lesson", or the reason you won't make the same mistakes twice. LOVE. It can be beautiful but it can, as it most often is in today's world, bite.
The play moves with a transcendence of space and time, with this out-of-the-world reproach, dialogue that leaves your soul craving more – like words dripping off of a juicy apple smothered in honey, and a story that makes you feel things you weren't expecting to feel – your heart, your soul, your mind is running right along with every scene.
It's a brisk Friday night as the chill seeps in to every pocket of open air and I see a door with a dim red light hanging above it. Worn paint situates on the wall just beside the light that reads: Six 01. A theatre only recognizable by the iron frame over the door and a painted word. I enter. Inside is a warehouse.
Santaland Diaries is a truly applaud-worthy performance pulling off a one-man show with finesse, hysterics, humor, multiple personalities, thoughtfulness, emotional candor, and moments of clarity, actor Paolo Andino makes Christmas a lot easier to swallow.

Penn Station gets a new concourse designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—what's next?

"A city gets what it wants, is willing to pay for, and ultimately deserves," famously wrote the New York Times editorial board in 1963 on the eve of Penn Station's sorry demolition. In the decades that followed, the Times' words seemed to ring ever true, with Penn Plaza and Madison Square Garden never quite surpassing their eyesore designation. It's a new dawn for Penn Station, though, with a massive state-funded revival in the works, the first phase of which was unveiled to the public last week—could this be the city we deserve?
The station's West End Concourse, which sits on the corner of 31st Street and 8th Avenue, is the first leg of an epic master plan by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill that will connect Penn Station with the Mckim, Mead & White–designed Farley Post Office across the street. The new space, whose completion was delayed some six months due to technological issues, offers commuters interactive information screens and LED light displays en route to New Jersey Transit trains as well as unprecedented access from the city's West side (no doubt an appeal to the developers of the nearby Hudson Yards complex).

The master plan, named the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Train Hall after the onetime New York Senator who originally proposed it, and priced at an approximate $1.6 billion, was announced by Governor Cuomo last fall and is set to include, most notably, a glass-enclosed 250,000-square-foot train hall for Amtrak and Long Island Rail Road passengers, as well as an additional 700,000-square-feet of retail and office space. The plan comes with an aggressive timeline that promises completion by the end of 2020. It only took a little over half a century to bring good design back to Penn Station.

We are delighted to announce the return of the Beyond 1% Podcast, which will now include a broader range of topics and guests. Our return episode is the first in a series on Sustainability, in support of World Environment Day.
Beyond 1% Podcast Episode 5
To celebrate World Environment Day on 5th June, this is the first in a series of episodes that will focus on sustainability.
Our Beyond 1% Podcast is back and will be a permanent fixture moving forward. We have decided to expand our focus and include other topics and guests, starting with this sustainability series.
We are committed to sharing the voices of women in construction and will have a minimum of 50% guests as woman, outside of focused Women in Construction episodes. We are using this podcast as an opportunity to talk about a range of other relevant topics and an expanded list of guests.
This episode is part one of two, featuring three Sustainability Managers. Host Nic Errol talks to Imogen Masters, Louise Farragher and James Roy, exploring what its like to work in Sustainability, what their day to day looks like on site, and diversity in construction.
Stay tuned for part two of this conversation which will be released soon.
So when I got an opportunity to work for Sir Robert McAlpine, although I knew nothing about construction really, you could see that there was that opportunity to work in an environmental and community sense to kind of change people's perceptions and attitudes. So even though it's maybe something that wasn't apparent at first, it's developed into a really good opportunity.
James Roy Sustainability Manager

Q: IIS Reverse Proxy Rewrite Rule usage monitoring How can I display stats for each Rewrite rule in IIS when using it as a reverse proxy with ARR?
We use 'Orenosp' Secure reverse proxy for some of our networks but use IIS + ARR for others and one of the features I miss from Orenosp is the that is shows all the rules in a table and shows the hits and response stats for each rule.
I know that you can get this information for Web Farms within IIS but there is no overview for every rule.
How does everyone else monitor IIS rules when using it as a reverse proxy?

When I was little I wanted to be an artist, but I wasn't really good at it. Today, my sister and I signed up for a painting class. It was so much fun. You don't need any experience to do the painting. The art teacher will teach you how to do it, and they provide the supplies. The only thing is that it was a little pricey for the classes, but the experience was definitely worth the price I paid. I am going to do this again with my sister and my friends.
I got curious, where did the scene come from? Were you given a reference or did you make it on the spot?
My fingers get shaky when holding a camera, but a brush is fine.
Yes it is! We got to take home what we made! 😀 And thanks.
Oh wait, the artist drew it. Never mind then. Hopefully we'll see some of your painting prowess show up on the blog, though!
Beautiful painting! You have a natural talent for it.

Subversive Cookbookery
September 9, 2018 / Susanna J. Sturgis
A cookbook I've got a recipe in was reprinted last year.
To realize how improbable this statement is, you have to know that I am so not a cook. My mother wasn't a cook. Neither of my grandmothers were cooks. Somehow I managed to get by on fast food; easy stuff like hamburgers, scrambled eggs, and canned soup; and the kindness of roommates until I moved to Martha's Vineyard in 1985.
On Martha's Vineyard there were (and are) no fast-food joints, I lived alone, and the disconnect between restaurant prices and my income made even takeout a non-option except on special occasions (or when someone else was paying). So I taught myself to cook stuff that I like to eat, in quantities such that I can reheat meal-size portions and call it fast food.
I am, however, and have been since the winter of 1975–76, a baker, primarily of bread. So my inclusion in The Bakery Men Don't See maybe isn't so surprising? Thing is, my inclusion has less to do with the excellence of my breads (which are pretty good) than with my luck at being, for once in my life, in the right place at the right time.
The time was March 1991; the place was on the fringes of Madison, Wisconsin, specifically WisCon 15, the feminist science fiction convention. I discovered WisCon, and f/sf cons in general while promoting my three women's f/sf anthologies, which came out from Crossing Press in 1989 (Memories & Visions), 1990 (The Women Who Walk Through Fire), and 1991 (Tales of Magic Realism by Women: Dreams in a Minor Key). Pat Murphy and Pamela Sargent were the guests of honor at WisCon 15.
At the end of her GoH speech, Pat announced the creation of the James Tiptree, Jr. Memorial Award.
And so I would like to announce the creation of the James Tiptree, Jr. Memorial Award, to be presented annually to a fictional work that explores and expands the roles of women and men. We're still in the planning stages, but we plan to appoint a panel of five judges and we plan to finance the award — and this is another stroke of genius on Karen's [co-conspirator Karen Joy Fowler] part — through bake sakes. (If you want to volunteer to run a bake sale, talk to me after the speech.)
Now I know that people are going to say that science fiction has enough awards. I know people are going to say, "Pat, why do we need another award?" And all I can say is — if you ask me why we need this award, then you haven't been listening.
My copy of the first edition, liberally grease-stained from 25+ years of use.
No sooner had Pat finished speaking than the James Tiptree, Jr. Memorial Award began to take shape, thanks to the astonishing creative energy of the WisCon crew. It was indeed financed by bake sales — and eventually also by uproariously funny auctions, T-shirt sales, two cookbooks, and other means. Within a few months The Bakery Men Don't See had been compiled and published. (Its title riffs on Tiptree's probably best-known story, "The Women Men Don't See.") It was even nominated for a Hugo!
The Tiptree Award survived and thrived. So did WisCon, which before long had moved into the Concourse in downtown Madison on Memorial Day weekend, which is where and when you will find it today. And so did feminist f/sf — the work being published these days is daunting in its quality and quantity, but if you're looking for a place to start, you can't do better than the winners and honor lists for previous Tiptree Awards.
The spiffy design and production values of the new edition of The Bakery Men Don't See reflect this growth and vitality. It includes the original introductions by co-editors Diane Martin and Jeanne Gomoll (if you know WisCon, you'll recognize both names) and the GoH speeches by Pamela Sargent and Pat Murphy. It all holds up well, and none of it feels as dated as one might wish.
I'm not about to retire my first edition, however. Its grease stains testify to how well-used it is, plus it contains the contributors' signatures I collected, high-school-yearbook style, at WisCon 16 in 1992.
On the other hand — flipping through the pristine new edition, I keep noticing recipes I've never tried and had almost forgotten, and rereading the stories that go with them. My family has no culinary tradition worth writing about, but other contributors have wonderful stories to tell about where their recipes came from.
The Bakery Men Don't See is available for $12 from Lulu.com, as is other cool Tiptree-related stuff. Bakery's equally wonderful sequel, Her Smoke Rose Up from Supper, covers — you guessed it — entrées and other kinds of food you're likely to eat before dessert. Unless, of course, you observe one of the Tiptree Award's mottos: "Life is uncertain — eat dessert first." I'm in that one too. It's available in its original edition for $10 from the Tiptree Award store.

Thanks for this wonderful subversive-cookbook history! I have no more room on my shelves for another cookbook, but these sound so delicious that I may have to build another shelf . . .
Pat Cadigan's "Individual Cheesecakes" recipe alone will make it worth your while.They're easy, they're delicious, and I've addicted many people to them over the years. Bake on!

I love both retro covers! What a unique legacy…
That's a cool cookbook to add to my already nice selection 🙂
On my list!

Winderman: Bosh ready for anything in return to Toronto
By Ira WindermanFeb 15, 2011, 2:35 PM EST
Now comes Chris Bosh's turn.
Two months after LeBron James received his enraged embrace upon his post-free-agency return to Cleveland, Bosh gets his turn Wednesday in Toronto.
Amid talk of Raptors fans giving him the Vince Carter treatment (security remains beefed up to this day whenever Vince heads north of the border) and Raptors players talking of putting Bosh on the ground, Bosh remains hopeful of his better days with the Raptors driving the emotions at Air Canada Centre.
"But, at the end of the day, I'm on another team, so that could go a lot of ways," the Heat forward said Tuesday. "I just have to be ready for anything."
LeBron seconded that notion.
"He's seen what I went through Dec. 2," he said. "He should be prepared. First of all, it would not be as bad as it was for me, for him. But he can expect boos, expect a little hatred from 'em, the fans giving it to him. As teammates, we'll be there for him."
James doesn't see Bosh evoking the same visceral response.
"Chris is a great guy, is very laid back, and I've probably never seen people get on him about anything, because he kind of stays to himself," he said. "He's not someone that gets in people's business. We'll see."
Like LeBron, Bosh said there are no regrets about his career path.
"I don't regret anything, because, at the end of the day, I've never said anything bad about the city or the organization, and I've never felt bad about it," he said. "Sometimes there's no good way to separate, or move on.
"You just have to put the past behind you. At no time did I feel that I said anything degrading or bad or acted uncivilized or anything like that. So I'm pretty happy with the way things are."
If anything, if might be Bosh who arrives with the grudge, after Raptors President Bryan Colangelo accused him of checking out on the team amid a spate of injuries last season.
"It's disappointing," Bosh said of that aspect of the return, "I mean, because you know what you did and you know it's a hard job to play every night, especially with the things that I was dealing with at the time. It was very tough. It was very tough.
"But I came, I competed every night I was out the court when I was healthy. Even when I wasn't 100 percent, I still went out there and gave it my all. With me knowing that, I don't have to worry about what other people say. I know good and well what I did and I would never, ever check out of anything."

Joyful noises: A worship service with children of all abilities
by Lee Hull Moses
PARTICIPATING: A worshiper at the Banquet plants seeds with the help of a volunteer.
It's Saturday morning, just before ten. My daughter Harper and I are a little early for the service, so we stop at the church playground for a couple of trips down the slide before we head inside. Just outside the door is a large piece of plywood, propped up and painted to look like a jigsaw puzzle. There's a hole in the middle where one of the puzzle pieces should be. Harper knows what to do immediately: she scampers behind the sign and pokes her head through the hole. I oblige and take a picture, her grin complementing the painted words: "You belong here."
The "here" where we belong this morning is a sensory worship experience offered by Salvage Garden, a nonprofit organization in Greensboro, North Carolina, that's hard to categorize. Part church, part support network for families and individuals with special needs, Salvage Garden strives to create a space where all are welcome, regardless of age or ability. The Banquet—the worship service we're heading into now—is Salvage Garden's primary activity.
Salvage Garden founder and executive director Melissa Guthrie sees us and comes to say hello. Melissa and I know each other well; when she's not running Salvage Garden and leading worship at the Banquet, she works as the communications manager at the church where I serve.
"The musicians just got here!" she tells me, nodding toward the guitar player and vocalist warming up. She'd told me earlier that her regular music leader wasn't available today so she was expecting someone new. She handles the hiccup gracefully, embodying the nonanxious presence of a good pastor, and goes to greet another family.
Harper and I settle into our seats—she in a beanbag chair on the floor in front of me—and wait for the service to begin. She is fiddling with a toy she picked up on the way in; a table by the door holds a variety of toys to keep active hands occupied during the service. One family arrives with a boy in a wheelchair. Two men sit down next to us—a father and son, I learn later; the father greets us, but the son doesn't respond when I try to say hello. Some kids claim beanbag chairs like Harper's; others sit close to their parents or wander at the edge of the worship space. One couple with no kids in tow sits quietly in the back row. Later, when we pass the peace, I realize that one of them is blind.
In some ways, the Banquet feels similar to any other worship service: there's gathering music, a scripture reading, a message, time for prayers, a sending forth. But an intentional effort is made to include all ability levels. Each service's theme is different, but the order of service stays the same, providing a reassuring handle for worshipers who get anxious in new settings. The printed order of service is laminated, and it includes pictures for nonreaders. Some participants have short attention spans, so each part of the service moves quickly to the next.
PHYSICAL SIGNS: Melissa Guthrie leads the community in a prayer that engages the whole body.
The service includes spoken words, but there is also plenty of movement. The prayer—like the order, the same every time—involves standing up and doing arm and hand motions to accompany the words. Nonchoreographed movement is encouraged and expected, too. Often someone will get up from their seat and wander. One particularly active boy slips out of reach of his caregiver, who chases him down with the help of another worshiper. The woman reading the scripture passage is as unfazed by the action as she is by a sudden shriek from one of the participants.
Multisensory engagement is intentional as well. Each service includes "breaking bread," which engages the sense of taste. (This is not presented as communion; one of the open questions at Salvage Garden is whether and how, given the commitment to inclusivity, to include people from other faith traditions.) Smell and touch are included with a blessing of oil offered by the worship leaders on the back of each participant's hand. I watch as the boy in the wheelchair across from us wordlessly accepts the blessing. It is, indeed, a banquet—a feast for the senses and the soul.
The story of Salvage Garden is inseparable from Melissa's own story—her call to ministry and her call to parent Tommy and Stephanie. Tommy and Stephanie came into Melissa's life as foster children who had been terribly neglected. When they met—with only a few hours' notice from the county social workers—Stephanie, then six, told her two-year-old brother, "Tommy, this is Ms. Melissa. She looks nice, and she's going to take care of us."
Six years later, "Ms. Melissa" is simply "Mom" to Stephanie, often uttered in a middle schooler's classic whine. Tommy, who is mostly nonverbal, calls her "Mama-Issa" and uses his arms in a dramatic movement taught by his teachers and speech therapists to force the sound out of his body. Though the social workers were aware that he had some developmental delays when he was placed with Melissa, it wasn't until he was four that he had an official diagnosis: autism.
Tommy is eight now, with the cognitive abilities of a young preschooler. He communicates via a combination of sign language and speech. He's happiest in familiar settings, with familiar people. New places are overstimulating and make him anxious. He loves to play outside, digging in the dirt or raking leaves. He loves music and, Melissa says with a smile, "he's not a bad dancer, either." Melissa has installed hammocks inside and outside her house, as he loves to swing—on anything—as high as he can. His constant movement earned him the nickname Tommy the Tornado from a summer camp counselor a few years ago. His blond hair is strikingly similar to his mom's; new acquaintances are often surprised to learn he is adopted.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, autism spectrum disorder now affects one in 88 Americans. Among other things, individuals with ASD often have atypical responses to sensory input. Tommy loves the feel of the wind on his face while he swings, and he likes to wear clothes with a variety of interesting textures. But as Melissa is quick to point out, autism affects everyone differently. "If you've met one person with autism," she reminds me, "you've met one person with autism."
At the same time Melissa was welcoming Tommy and Stephanie into her family and getting a crash course in parenting a child with autism, she was beginning classes in the M.Div. program at Wake Forest Divinity School. Getting to know these children—and especially discovering Tommy's special needs—shaped her calling and her studies. She started reading about the theology of disability, and she began wondering how she would share her faith—a tradition so grounded in word and story—with a child who will likely never read or speak.
She also began taking Tommy and Stephanie to church.
Going to church, however, was easier said than done. Melissa found that many traditional churches are ill-equipped to welcome people with needs like Tommy's, especially at worship. Stillness and quiet are virtues at many worship services, and there is very little physical movement—a nightmare for someone like Tommy, whose constant movements keep him centered. Most worshipers spend the service sitting in one position, standing only occasionally for a hymn or two. Bowed heads and folded hands are often the only physical signs of prayer.
Even the liturgy itself can be an impediment to someone with different abilities. We are people of the word, we like to proclaim. We offer a word of prayer, we recite the words of institution, we read the words of the ancient scripture. But what does this mean to someone for whom words themselves are an incomprehensible language?
Church staff and volunteers are unprepared, too. Most Sunday school teachers, children's church leaders, and nursery attendants aren't trained to care for children who have autism or other special needs. The point isn't that these leaders are to blame, just that this is the reality of the situation. And sometimes this reality is the difference between finding welcome and being left out.
Melissa remembers wrestling with Tommy in the back row of the sanctuary during one church visit, trying to keep him from disrupting the other worshipers. She remembers all too well the moment when another parishioner approached and suggested that they should leave. Another parent of a child with autism—a regular at the Banquet—remembers how difficult it was to take his son to church. "They just weren't ready for us. It wasn't fair to us or them."
"He just doesn't belong in a church nursery," another mother, Angie, says of her son David. He was born at 24 weeks and faces a long list of special needs, epilepsy and autism among them. He spends his days in a wheelchair cart that carries all his equipment. She's right; it's hard to imagine him even fitting into my church's small nursery room.
One story Melissa carries with her is that of a family whose child required supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day. To go out, anywhere, they had to transfer him to a portable oxygen tank, which could be carried to and from. One morning at church, as the hum and pulse of the oxygen machine could be heard during the quiet parts of the service, a woman sitting in front of them turned and said, "Could you turn that off?"
It may just be, of course, that the woman didn't realize what was making the noise. One hopes that had she known that the pulsing machine was pumping air vital for the child's very breath, she would have been more gracious. But to the mother of the boy who needed the oxygen to stay alive, the comment was the opposite of hospitable: her son, and her son's needs, were not wanted there.
Stories like these—along with a vision of the kingdom of God where all are embraced, accepted, and loved—planted the seeds that became Salvage Garden.
When Melissa tells the organization's story, she says "we," but she really means "I." She has an advisory board of volunteers, and she's had good help from colleagues and friends. These include divinity school classmates Cindy Good and Brian Russell, who dreamed with her in the initial planning stages and helped get Salvage Garden off the ground. But this has been Melissa's vision, and—as with most small nonprofits—most of the work falls to her.
A grant from the North Carolina Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America supported Salvage Garden in its first year, enabling the Banquet to move from a monthly to a twice-a-month schedule. But now—as the Banquet approaches its second anniversary—donations and gifts provide funding for musicians, space, and supplies, and the budget is tight.
Worship attendance, however, is growing. Salvage Garden is meeting a need.
At the service I attended with my daughter, the "drama" centered on modeling clay—the edible, homemade kind. "You are part of the mix," Melissa reminds the children gathered at the front of the worship space. She hands them each a blob of dough and invites them to mix in gummy bears. This is sensory worship at its best: participatory, involving taste and smell and touch, with a variety of textures for curious hands.
The drama feels like the children's moment at my congregation, in which my daughter regularly participates. Yet here she declines to go forward to join the other kids, and she ignores my nudges to go up to get some dough when it's offered. But when a volunteer approaches with gummy worms—the idea was to mix them into the dough—Harper's eyes light up. "Want some?" the volunteer asks, and she nods, popping them into her mouth as soon as they hit her palm. It's a moment of hospitality that embodies what Salvage Garden strives for: you can participate as much, or as little, as you want or are able.
Eight-year-old Jack is munching a snack while I visit with his father, Scott, after the service. He sits with us for a few minutes and then wanders away to where his sister Emily is playing; his dad keeps one eye on him while we talk. Scott tells me that Jack is "on the spectrum"—the autism spectrum—and Emily is "typical." (I keep noticing how intentionally these parents choose their words. Melissa herself stresses the importance of "person-first language"—Tommy is her "son who has autism," not her "autistic son.") Scott and his family were new to town when they met Melissa at an activity of the local Autism Society, and they've been regulars at the Banquet since it began. They'd tried visiting another congregation, looking for a church home, but Jack couldn't stay quiet in the service; they were self-conscious and reluctant to try again.
Scott likes the openness and inclusivity of the Salvage Garden organization. "It's the first church we've found that lines up with what we think," he says. And it's not just the welcome they've received at Salvage Garden that has become so important to them. It's also the opportunity to welcome others. "We give so much to Jack and Emily," Scott says, that it's good to be part of a community where they can offer that same hospitality and care to other families.
Large group activities are hard for Jack; the unpredictability of social interactions makes him uneasy. Like many people living with autism, he prefers a familiar setting and a familiar routine. The Banquet's consistent liturgy provides that for him. He follows along on the printed order of service.
Scott explains that one of the effects of Jack's autism is that "he doesn't know where his body is." Sitting still doesn't work so well; wandering does. The Banquet is held in a local church's contemporary worship space—a large room with movable chairs and lots of space in which to move around. "A pew in a church just doesn't work," his dad tells me. This does. Jack loves the loud music and the tactile, experiential parts of the service. He gets to participate and engage in the service, rather than simply trying—and likely failing—to keep quiet.
Jack's sister Emily loves the service, too. She is the social one in the family. While Jack wanders the perimeter of the room during the fellowship time after the service, Emily flits from table to table to chat with friends. It's good for her to know others who have siblings who are like Jack. It's good for her to be welcomed, too.
In my own fairly traditional congregation, we like to think of ourselves as a welcoming, friendly, hospitable place. The reality is that we really aren't prepared to welcome Tommy on Sunday morning. Our straight rows of pews would feel so confining to his active little body. Our service involves lots of sitting still and very little to smell, touch, or taste—baptism and weekly communion notwithstanding—and our nursery staff, while loving and wonderful caregivers, simply don't have the necessary training to include Tommy or keep him safe.
One Sunday evening, Melissa brings Tommy to our fall festival. It's just before Halloween, so most of the kids are in costume. Tommy is dressed up, too, in a pinstripe suit and fancy dress shoes—not so much a character costume as an expression of his love for texture and clothing. "He wants you to notice his shoulder pads," Melissa translates over and over again to church members who come over to say hello. Some of us have met Tommy before, when Melissa has brought him to the office on a weekday or met his caregiver to swap car seats in the parking lot. But this is the first time he's come to an all-church event. It is overwhelming for both of them.
The day of the festival, Melissa texts me, wondering if it's OK to bring him, worrying about what will happen if he has a tantrum. "Please come," I write back. "They will love him no matter what." And I know this is true—that the people at my church will love Tommy—but I also suspect that we don't really know how to love him.
My suspicion is correct. Everyone is kind to Tommy; everyone admires his fancy outfit. But it's clear that none of us quite knows what to do next. Melissa keeps her hand on his shoulder the whole time, and she confesses later that she's afraid of how church members will react if he acts out or runs away. I notice that no one offers to sit with them, and they don't sit long anyway. He is more inclined to wander, so the two of them take a walk around the church. They end up playing alone on the playground outside while the party goes on downstairs.
Melissa tells me that one of the things she's learned—one of the concepts on which Salvage Garden is built—is that when it comes to adaptations aimed at welcoming people with disabilities, changes to a church's physical space are the easiest changes to make. It's one thing to build a ramp up to the building or to remove a pew to make room for a wheelchair. It's quite another to make worship accessible for people who can't read the hymnal, can't hear the music or the words being spoken, can't control their bodies or the noises they make.
Melissa says she has to remind herself that most churches don't have the knowledge or the resources to be truly welcoming to people of all abilities, but that there should at least be a spirit of hospitality. I wonder if my congregation has passed the test.
Toward the end of the Banquet service, it is time for "Joyful Noise," during which everyone plays an instrument—those kid-friendly instruments you played in elementary music class, the shakers and sticks and triangles.
"Are there enough?" I ask the volunteer passing out the instruments, glancing around the room. I don't want to take one if there is a kid who wants to play. She assures me there are, so I grab a maraca and shake away. The professional musicians up front play as well, but "noise" is an accurate description. Midway through the song, Harper wants to switch instruments with me. I am enjoying watching her enjoy the music, and I imagine that the other parents in the room feel the same as they watch their children participating in whatever ways they can.
Up near the high ceiling of the worship space sit several small windows. These remain covered with blinds for most of the service, darkening the room so the projected pictures and words can be seen. As worship ends, the congregation sings "This Little Light of Mine"—and the shades open. They're operated by remote control, but the effect suggests that our singing has raised the curtains and let the sun shine in. Angie tells me it's her son David's favorite part of the service. It is Harper's, too. "Look, Mom!" She pokes me and points. "Light!"
As Salvage Garden grows, Melissa hopes to offer support services, like a faith-based support group for parents and caregivers of kids with special needs. Melissa says she herself participates in a number of groups, but none in which she can really wrestle with the tough questions of faith or the tough stories in the Bible. To a parent of a child who will never be "healed" of his illness, the stories of Jesus healing the blind man or the hemorrhaging woman are heartrending. They lead to bigger questions about what wholeness really looks like.
Salvage Garden could also one day offer Christian education opportunities for people with disabilities, embracing multisensory learning methods to teach Bible stories and faith traditions. Or maybe the organization will become a resource center for churches—such as mine, perhaps—where people want to learn how to integrate all our senses, our whole selves, into our practices of worship, learning, and service.
Just as Melissa doesn't call Tommy her "autistic son" because she doesn't want him to be defined by his disability, she also does not want Salvage Garden to be defined by its accessibility to people with disabilities. She doesn't want it to become a "special-needs church." In church-first language, then, this is a church where everyone can participate. David in his wheelchair, Jack on the spectrum, and my typical daughter, all making a joyful noise together. The goal is not simply a worship service where people with developmental disabilities are welcome. It's a service where all are welcome.
"Jesus' message," Melissa says, "is that there is a place for everyone: gay, straight, black, white, special needs, homeless." She knows it's a tall order. "That's the kingdom of God; we'll be working on that forever."

I've Lost More Than 25 Kilo's Without Even Trying..
I have struggled with insomnia on and off for around four years, but the last 12 months have been the worst. I have tried everything, and I mean everything. Valerian in tea form, Valerian in capsule form, passionflower tea, chamomile tea, sleepy tea, every tea rumoured to help. I tried homeopathic melatonin, diet alterations, meditation, relaxation, every mindfulness CD or app ever made. Nothing natural worked long-term. The only thing that worked for me was Tamazepam. I hated relying on prescription medication, especially one with harmful side effects, but it was my only guarantee of sleep and I have three young children to care for.
Two weeks ago I start taking a low dose of GABA an hour before bed. Not only have I slept every one of those fourteen nights, I have fallen asleep in under half an hour each time. I have also been able to fall back asleep after getting up to the children during the night. Even during periods of anxiety, it has still been effective. I am relieved to finally have something that works, that is not harmful or addictive.


Hailing from Brooklyn, Jodi is one of those girls that I was lucky enough to meet in person through the big, bad blogosphere. (A quick email exchange, and a noon lunch date was in the works!) After a too-short lunch, I confirmed that, yes – yes, she's awesome. You can find Jodi on her blog, but may we suggest following her on Pinterest? She's the pinning queen, hands down.
Hi YBH readers! My name is Jodi and I live in Brooklyn, NY and absolutely love it. While I wish my family & I lived in a more happening &/or photogenic neighborhood like Park Slope, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO or Brooklyn Heights, we do enjoy the quietness of our neighborhood, Bay Ridge. We're close to the water and the park, and have a pharmacy, grocery store, several pubs, a subway stop, Starbucks and a cupcake shop all within walking distance. I think that is pretty great.
We moved to NYC seven and half years ago and have been living in Bay Ridge for the past two and half. We're on our third NYC apartment and this one finally feels like home. It helps that this is the place that we brought our baby daughter home to for the first time and that we actually have a little bit of space to spread out in. And now that our little girl is a year and half old, we have so many new memories connected to this place.
Aside from enjoying our immediate neighborhood, I love to visit other parts of Brooklyn. One of my favorite spots is Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO. I love the views of the bridges, lower Manhattan, and the amazing Jane's Carousel. Another favorite is the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It's great year round, but I absolutely adore it during cherry blossom season. I also love to spend an afternoon in Williamsburg, especially when Smorgasburg is open. And hipster people watching? Pretty excellent.
I know we won't live in NYC forever; it's just so expensive here and my husband is getting antsy to move on. As we discuss where to move next though, I am constantly looking for neighborhoods in other cities that are truly walkable. I know we'll have to get a car where ever we live next, but for now, I am thoroughly enjoying walking everywhere and taking the subway daily. I love to get lost in a good book on my commute to and from work and if I'm not in the mood to read, the people watching, as always, is fantastic.
Thanks to Kim & Scott for having me while they move to their new place. Once you get settled in, come out and visit, m'kay?


The bad news about Lyme disease and the black-legged ticks that carry the disease keeps getting worse. Nova Scotians love the great outdoors, but the continuing spread of these tiny ticks across the province makes thorough post-outdoors inspections critical for avoiding potentially life-long pain and suffering.
Nova Scotia has become a hot spot in Canada for Lyme disease according to the federal government. And greater Halifax is now a "high risk" area for the disease according to the provincial Department of Health and Wellness (see map). Black-legged ticks (also known as deer ticks) can now be found almost everywhere in Nova Scotia. Birds like robins, wrens, and finches carry black-legged ticks far outside local hot spots.
Even patients who are diagnosed quickly and treated with antibiotics can develop fatigue, pain, or joint and muscle aches that sometimes last for months or years. There has been serious disagreement in the medical community over whether Lyme disease causes such long-term symptoms at all. Some doctors prescribe long-term treatment with high doses of antibiotics for people with such post-Lyme symptoms. Patients' groups have been fighting with medical authorities over the effectiveness of such long-term antibiotic treatments.

09/13/2017 / By Robert Jonathan / Comments
Equifax seems to be backpedaling on asking consumers to give up their legal rights to sue in court either individually or as part of a group over the massive data breach of consumer personal information such as names, birth dates, and Social Security numbers, as well as drivers' license numbers and credit card account number in some instances.
Initially, the credit bureau asked consumers to waive, i.e., sign away, their rights to file a lawsuit if they accepted a year's worth of free security monitoring.
After an outcry, however, Equifax announced that the class-action waiver applies only to the Trusted ID Premier service rather than what it called the "cybersecurity incident."
On a dedicated website set up to address the privacy hack, Equifax published several clarifications.
In response to consumer inquiries, we have made it clear that the arbitration clause and class action waiver included in the Equifax and TrustedID Premier terms of use does not apply to this cybersecurity incident.
We've added [a] FAQ to our website to confirm that enrolling in the free credit file monitoring and identity theft protection that we are offering as part of this cybersecurity incident does not waive any rights to take legal action.
One consumer advocacy group official cautioned, however, that "It's not so much what Equifax is saying now as what its attorneys may say months from now. It's unclear whether the company might rely on the broad clause in the Terms of Use, which requires arbitration for any issues involving company products." Forbes reported.
Affected consumers would be well-advised to regularly check the Equifax website for updates on the data breach.
In general, arbitration is a private process handled behind closed doors rather than in open court.
As NaturalNews has previously detailed, the personal information of up to 143 million Americans (almost 50 percent of the U.S. population) was accessed by cyber criminals sometime between mid May and July of this year. Although Equifax discovered the hack on July 29, it took the company six weeks to notify the public. As one of the country's three major nationwide credit reporting firms, Equifax tracks and rates consumers' financial histories using data they obtain from banks, credit card companies, lenders and retailers – without your knowledge. The other two are Experian and TransUnion.
Ironically perhaps, the Equifax website requires you to provide your last name and the last six digits of of your SSN to determine if you've been hacked. Some consumers may feel hesitant to submit additional information under the circumstances of this massive hack attack.
Lawyers aren't wasting any time, it appears, because more than 20 class-action lawsuits have already been filed against Equifax. The U.S. Congress is also investigating and particularly wants to know what measures the company is taking to protect this kind of hack from happening in the future. (Related: Read more about identity theft at CyberAttack.news.)
A class-action lawsuit is one in which a small group of plaintiffs files a complaint on behalf of a large group of aggrieved parties. This is a developing story, and at this early stage it's unclear how all this will play out. Presumably Equifax could be on the hook for an enormous number of claims through settlements and/or court judgments. As this incident also illustrates, it is important to be vigilant and check your account statements and credit reports regularly to protect yourself.
Some consumer fraud experts have recommended freezing credit reports, as discussed, among other things, in the videos below.

If we are giving members 15 minutes or so to edit forum posts, perhaps we should delay sending the email notifications until that period expires. That's how the old Moodle system works, and I think it's a good system. One cause of the errors in #332, for instance, might have been curved quotation marks pasted from MS Word that were corrected during the editing period.
This kind of thing will require a large amount of development. Forum notification emails are not currently stored, but are generated on the fly, sent immediately, and then forgotten about. This essentially amounts to a digest system. As a result, it will be much easier to implement when there's a digest system in place, which is slated for 1.1. Even with the digest system, there will be a fair amount of dev required, so I'm going to tag it for Future Release and probably shoot for it in 1.2 if there's no objection.
No objection. This would be a nice feature to have but it's not high priority. In fact, I'll reclassify the priority as low.
Reassigning to Dom. Dom, the plugin that handles digests is buddypress-group-email-subscription. It has the basic infrastructure for scheduling emails. Maybe you could have a look at how it works and make some suggestions for a technical course of action.
I've looked through the plugin that handles this functionality and I see that the digest is handled mostly through WP's cron functionality. My first thoughts on a potential fix would be trying to use cron to set one-off (single event) notifications that are created when a new forum post is submitted, but I think that might get a little unwieldy on a large, high traffic site. There would be potential cron jobs all over the place. Then I thought we might be able to leverage the transients api. We could set a transient with an appropriate expire time and then every time wp loads (or more specifically when the plugin is instantiated) it could look for expired transients and fire off an email for each one. I'm not sure about the performance implications for this idea though. All that db access and the logic needed to keep track of which notices have been sent, plus would we keep the actual content of the forum post in the transient or pull that specific post back outa the db when its associated transient has expired? Sounds like a lot of work.
Also, I'd like to say this doesn't really sound like a "feature" to me. What I mean is: we may be opening up a whole slew of support emails about these delayed notifications. Think about this, a user posts a new forum entry, then 15-30 minutes later a notification is sent to all email subscribers. Those members that have already seen (on the web), and maybe even replied to that original post, are now getting notifications after the conversation has taken place. Think about very active forums, think about how much conversation can take place in 15-30 minutes! We could potentially be inundated with support requests claiming that forum notifications are always late and sent after the fact, which could be VERY confusing to members in an active forum.
If this feature is designed to help prevent users from getting garbage in their posts, we may be better off exploring ways to improve the error handling earlier during creation of the initial post, thereby preventing the types of errors that lead to the opening of this ticket.
Interesting thoughts, Dom. I'll let Boone speak to the technical issues, but as far as users go, I don't think this will be a big deal, especially if we shrink that 15-30 minute window down to, say, 5 minutes. The key thing is to give users a short chance to edit their posts before the posts get sent out far and wide. I think that the number of users who respond as quickly as you suggest above are actually pretty small. And the issue is not so much with error handling (despite what my quotation example above says) as giving users a chance to edit before the email gets sent.
One other alternative to this system, though, is giving users a chance to preview their posts before they go live. Of course, that can introduce other problems (users may think they've posted when, in reality, they've only previewed).
I think you're right about the 5 min. That's much more feasible. The preview is definitely an interesting idea. Even something as simple as the preview below these updates here on Redmine.
What do you think about not adding this functionality as a new feature in the plugin, but instead spooling the messages in the GC mail server?
I agree with Dom's original sentiment that a delay seems like sort of a kludgy way to deal with this.
but I think that might get a little unwieldy on a large, high traffic site. There would be potential cron jobs all over the place.
The transient solution that you suggest is, almost to a T, exactly how wp-cron works. It's not real cron. It just checks, on each page load, to see whether any scheduled events are due, and if so, it places a request to the pseudocron runner (wp-cron.php). If we're going to do this, I suggest that we do use WP's core features, instead of building our own version.
I'm not sure how this would work (I don't know a lot about how spooling works in general). There are a number of application-side considerations: (a) we only want to delay email notifications of forum posts; (b) we need to have unique identifiers for emails, so that if I post to thread A, which triggers email A1, and then edit my post to trigger A2, the system has to know that A2 supersedes A1 (in cases where there could be a ton of email notifications in the queue). I'm not sure that our outgoing mail server has enough information about the emails to decide these sorts of things; it seems like it should be done from the WP end.
I agree generally that this should not be a default feature in the Group Email Subscription plugin, because it adds a ton of overhead for marginal benefit. My sense is that we should make it a secondary WP plugin (I can add hooks to BPGES if we need them).
Thanks, Boone. If there are technical reasons (potential server load, etc.) not to do this, we can live without it. But I do think it would be a nice feature to have if we can swing it. What do you think about a post preview as an alternative? In the past, I know you've been skeptical of the need for a preview feature, but I think that for many people, seeing a forum post in "publication" form enables them to do a different kind of proof reading than they are able to do while reading the text in the posting box. It seems to me that a preview button might be a more lightweight way of accomplishing the goal here, which is to give members a chance to proofread their posts before they are emailed out to groups.
I'm not opposed to the Preview functionality in principle, I'm just not sure how it should be implemented. See http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/589 I am going to write a few more thoughts on that ticket.
If it's between doing an email delay and a preview, I would far prefer the preview.
I'm not sure how this would work (I don't know a lot about how spooling works in general).
I do not want to be an admin for an email server.
So my knowledge of spooling is probably even less than yours. I was just running through all the possible avenues in my head to try and come up with a cleaner solution than constantly sticking expiring info into the DB.
Ray has been doing some work in BPGES on offloading email sending to a cron job. If that were in place, it'd be possible to piggyback an editing-window delay like what's being suggested here.


March 10- 11th Girl Scouts will be taking over the Mall of America. They are having their Great Girl Gathering to celebrate 100 years of inspiring generations of girls who change the world. There will be Girl Scouts coming from all over the world to celebrate.
It is open and fee to the public from 10-6PM.
As a brownie myself, I cannot get through February without buying a box of thin mints. I would definitely get a cookie eating patch. The best thing about this event is that they are selling their cookies at the Girl Scout Store at N120.
They will be having performances in the Rotunda including China Anne McClain. You can head on over to Macy's Court for for a camping experience or to Sears Court for Yoga or Dance. Check the website for more information on the schedule.
Because changing the world matters.
Thanks for spreading the word on our Great Girl Gathering event. We can't wait! We have alumnae events this weekend too.

Not going to happen, and here is why: Evolv designed each profile to have readings independent of one another, this way each profile could theoretically represent a different atomizer. With all the variables that one can change in a profile, it's actually quite nice to be able to pre-set a profile so one can quickly put on a new atomizer and with a couple clicks be ready to have an entirely different vaping experience. You are aware that you could just lock in the cold resistance into all of your profiles and that can literally be done without even having to use a computer! It would undermine the entire reason the profiles are there in the first place.
Was wondering what the Nuclear model would look like... I've got my eye on the universal 2x21700 squonker they have up. That will likely be the enclosure I use to build my first device. Not trying to knock on you or anything but I can run my paranormal 250c for slightly over a day at 100-105 watts with my Sony VTC5a and VTC5d(vapecell re-wraps)... But more power to ya! Building a mod had got to be much more satisfying than buying one anyway. What how long is the battery life on your device?
Coil builds. What works with Replay?
Replay function send based around core wire... So use SS for at least some of the core wire... Don't think it needs to be all though. Interestingly enough though you can use a different material for core wire(N80,N90,etc)and SS other wrap, and while replay doesn't work... Temp control will! I've been using N80 cores with SS wrap and then running in temp control with material set to SS316, and TC works flawlessly! Alternatively, SS cores and N80 wrap works with both replay and TC-SS. Running framed staple aliens in my Themis now with all N80 core with 34g SS wrap and use both TC and wattage with great success... No replay;though, I haven't tried it on my Replay PK profile to see if it works with that.
I really liked the way that RTA looked... But seemed to have one fatal flaw; the positioning of the grub screws on the deck,I use a lot of flat wire types that would be misshapen by that deck. Plus I already have a Themis which I love and the Juggerknot sense too similar to drop $60 on. What are your thoughts?
I kind of thought it might be and I thought about adding a disclaimer since you said you were using quad cores which def don't need as many watts or as high of a temp. I would do the set temp between 495-505 with the pre heat temp set to 460_465 I would still give it 80-85 Watts for the set wattage and 95 for pre heat wattage. As a rule of thumb , set the pre heat temp about 20-30 degrees lower than your set temp and set pre heat wattage about 10-20 watts higher than your set wattage... That way there is no sudden dip in vapor production. And yes my coils are beefy...I should have used some N80 or kanthal in my build to bring the ohms up; but I used all SS316 and it does read .042 lol.i do not suggest building this low you can get better performance and flavor with higher ohm builds.
Are ohms stable? Can you tell us a bit more about the build and the temp settings you are running it at? Also what happens if you put it in Watts?
I brought up the same point to the designer, and you can see his response a few posts up. He made using a temp sensing coil a condition of the ability to save the puff, effectively limiting the functionality of replay. I don't think he meant to exactly, he didn't realize that this was already an inherent function of replay that didn't need to be added. I modded the theme shortly after the 2.1 release to regain the ability to use replay with coil material set to Watts. I can share that file with you if you would like.
I agree with retird, but I'm also wondering what mod you have? My paranormal was set to .004, but I brought it down to .0038; my friends paranormal was also set to .004 but I took her down to .0017 to get a correct ohm reading. Before tinkering with mod resistance perhaps see how ohm reading vary between your 250c and some other mods. If they are reading about the same resistance, then try running case thermals(be prepared to wait) in escribe. Also where did you source your SS316? Are you running in wattage mode on replay? What kind of build do you have in there (like Clapton or gauge)?

US sanctions hit one of UK's best-known Russian oligarchs

By admin , in USA , at April 8, 2018
One of Britain's most well-known Russian oligarchs is among 38 targets in the latest round of US sanctions aimed at Vladimir Putin's inner circle.
Aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska, who owns property in the UK, is accused by the White House of "directly or indirectly" acting on behalf of the Kremlin, along with six other tycoons, 17 officials and a dozen companies, including the state-run bank VTB.
Mr Deripaska, 50, is best known in Britain for hosting George Osborne for drinks on his yacht in 2008 – an invitation that sparked accusations, strongly denied, that the ex-Chancellor was tapping him up for a donation to party funds.
Image:Vladimir Putin with Mr Deripaska in Sochi in 2008
The Trump administration announced on Thursday that Mr Deripaska was among the individuals and firms being punished for the "ongoing and increasingly brazen pattern" of bad behaviour by Moscow, including accusations of involvement in the nerve agent attack in Salisbury and alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Mr Deripaska has been a prominent figure in US prosecutor Robert Mueller's investigation over his ties to the former chairman of the Trump campaign, Paul Manafort, and has been accused by the US Treasury Department of illegal wiretapping, extortion, racketeering, money laundering, and death threats against business rivals.
Shares in his energy company, E+, dropped 19% on the London Stock Exchange on Friday as a result of the sanctions, which the Kremlin have dismissed as "absurdity".
Image:The Putin regime has promised a 'tough response' to the sanctions
The Russian Foreign Ministry promised a "tough response", adding that the US was jeopardising "thousands of jobs" for its own citizens by punishing companies with longstanding business ties in the country.
Americans who do business with targeted firms, including parts of Gazprom, will receive guidance on how to wind down that business and avoid running afoul of the sanctions, the White House said.
Despite the latest sanctions, which took the number of people and entities linked with Russia to be punished since Mr Trump took office to 189, the White House has said discussions about a summit with Mr Putin would continue.
Image:Donald Trump still hopes to arrange a summit with Mr Putin
The two leaders spoke on the phone following Mr Putin's re-election in March, which saw Mr Trump offer his congratulations as well as a potential invite to the White House.
Despite accusations that he was cosying up to his Russian counterpart, Mr Trump insisted on Tuesday that "nobody had been tougher" on Russia than he had since he was elected.
More from Russia
Dozens of Russian diplomats were expelled from the US and the Russian consulate in Seattle was shut down in the wake of the Salisbury attack last month.
In January, lists of Russian officials and oligarchs were published by the State Department and Treasury, which were seen as potential future sanctions targets.

Computers match truck drivers' faces to bust license fraud in NJ, NY
By Lexie Schapitl
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Some advanced technology helped nab three commercial drivers who allegedly held licenses in both New York and New Jersey.
The New York Department of Motor Vehicles and New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission shared facial recognition technology to determine that the drivers possessed licenses in each state under different names, dates of birth and social security numbers. The New York DMV announced Monday that this marks the first time two states have used facial recognition technology to combat license fraud and identity theft across state lines.
The New York DMV said facial recognition allows the department to deter fraud, combat identify theft and enhance public safety, and that more arrests should be anticipated as a result of the inter-state program.
Each driver has been charged with filing false instruments and falsifying business records, both of which are felonies, according to the department.
Authorities found that Magdy H. Elsheimy, 60, of Ridgedale Park, New Jersey, also held a valid license in New York under the name Magdy Moustafa. He was allegedly splitting convictions and tickets between records.
Sidibe D. Sekou, 53, of the Bronx, had a valid commercial license in New Jersey under the name Sekoudit G. Sidibe while he also had a suspended license in New York, authorities said.
Jhon M. Gomez, of New York City had his license suspended in New Jersey after being convicted of a DWI, but obtained a license in New York without mentioning the suspension, authorities said.
According to data from the State University of New York's Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research, drivers with multiple licenses are far more likely to be involved in a crash, at a rate of 66.5 percent vs. 42.6 percent of all drivers. About 50 percent of drivers with multiple license records are reportedly suspended or revoked under at least one name.

Q: Logic for finding and excluding multiple matches from a list I need to match contents of a list with a given pattern, and form another list which will be having everything except the matches. Meaning, I am trying to make an exclude list.
Now with one pattern match, it is easy. But for more that one, it becomes tricky.
Lets see an example :
Lmain=[arc123, arc234,xyz111,xyz222,ppp999,ppp888]

for count in range(len[Lmain]):

    if Pattern matches Lmain[i]:
              Pass
    else:result.append(Lmain[i])

Now lets say pattern = arc , my result will be
result = [xyz111,xyz222,ppp999,ppp888]

This is just a logic, where I will be using regular expr for finding match.
Now if we have 2 patterns, then using above logic in a loop :
Pattern=['arc','xyz']

for pat in Pattern:
      if pat matches Lmain[i]:
          Pass
      else:result.append(Lmain[i])

This will give us the wrong result
result = [xyz111,xyz222,ppp999,ppp888,arc123,arc234,ppp999,ppp888]

So , you can see above logic just wont work .
My plan:
First we find exclude list for first Pattern which will give us result:
result = [xyz111,xyz222,ppp999,ppp888]

For 2nd pattern, we need to look in to the above result.
if Pattern matches Result[i]:
      Pass
else:result_final.append(Result[i])

I think we need to use Recursion to implement above logic. Now how do we do that?
Also we dont know the number of patterns user is going to enter. It can be one or more.
Anybody has any logic ideas, then please share.

A: Using a list comprehension and a generator expression, and skipping the intermediate step of building an exclude list and just building the final list:
>>> import re
>>> Lmain=['arc123', 'arc234', 'xyz111', 'xyz222','ppp999','ppp888']
>>> Pattern=['arc','xyz']
>>> [x for x in Lmain if not any(re.search(y, x) for y in Pattern)]
['ppp999', 'ppp888']

A: for item in lst:
    if all(pat not in item for pat in patterns):
        exclude_list.append(item)

Replace in to what is more appropriate in your case (e.g. item.startswith(pat))
If there are more matches than non-matches, it should be more efficient to find the matches first, and then exclude them:
matches = [x for x in lst if any(x.startswith(p) for p in patterns)]
exclude_list = list(set(lst).difference(matches))

Yet another (and probably the fastest) option is to use regular expressions (here in combination with filter):
import re
expr = '^(?!%s)' % '|'.join(patterns)
exclude_list = filter(re.compile(expr).search, lst)

A: matched = False
for pat in Pattern:
    if pat patches Lmain[i]:
        matched = True
        break;
if matched:
    Pass
else:
    result.append(Lmain[i])
