, he was watching the children when a bear came into the village and there was something wrong with the bear. The bear attacked the children. The special friend told the children to hide and he ran up to the bear and smacked it in the nose to get it's attention. It chased him as he ran into his mother's house, he picked up his father's bow and arrow and he tried to shoot the arrow but he only wounded the bear. The bear grabbed special friend and killed him. The people heard the screams of the children and the men returning from hunting killed the bear but it was too late, special friend could not be saved. The whole village mourned the loss of special friend. The people decided that they wanted to mark his burial place in a special way. They put a earth mound over where they buried him and the men would go out and keep the mound neat and they would keep big plants from growing on it so that when people passed they would ask, " What is this place, what does it mean?" Then the people would tell the story of special friend. One day one of the men went out to take care of the mound and noticed a little tree growing from the mound so he pulled it out, the next day when he went out there was a slightly bigger tree growing so he pulled that out as well. The third day he went out there was a little tree growing that was even taller so he pulled that out as well. On the fourth day he went out there was yet again a tree growing that was even taller than the day before. He did not pull this tree because he knew something very unusual was happening. He went to get the Elders. He told them what he had seen and showed them the tree on the mound. They decided to go away for four days and then go back at the end of those four days. When they returned, the Tree was displaying its leaves, the people noticed that unlike other trees this tree had three distinct leaves growing on it. As the people looked at the tree in wonder they heard a voice coming from the mound, it was the voice of special friend and it said, "My relatives, I miss you, so I have sent a part of me to be with you and if you are feeling sad take the roots from my tree and make a special tea of them, it will make you feel much better." The people realized that the three distinct leaves on the trees were like special friends hands. One hand closed with the fingers laying beside each other, one leaf showing his thumb and lastly one leaf showing his thumb and little finger. So they named the tree after special friend and his name was Sassafras.
Clean roots well scraping away the bark. Place roots and bark scrapings along with water in a large pan and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and serve.

Incontinence is an embarrassing problem for those who suffer from it, and it can be a frustrating and a challenging one for caregivers as well. Accidents due to poor bladder control are common during the night in adults and children alike. If you suffer from incontinence or are caring for a family member with bladder control issues, using bedding protection products can help reduce some of your stress.
There are many reasons why incontinence issues often occur at night. In children, bedwetting often happens because children sleep too soundly and do not awaken when they need to urinate. Adults with limited mobility may find it difficult to get out of bed to make it to the bathroom in time in the middle of the night, and those who require assistance with toileting may be unable to awaken a caregiver in time.
No matter what the cause of an accident, if urine comes in contact with the mattress, it can be difficult to remove it. Urine often leaves unsightly stains and odors that can linger even with professional cleaning. Using pads to protect the mattress from urine can help prevent these types of problems, so that following an accident, the sheets can simply be removed and laundered without worry about the mattress.
One popular type of protection for bedding is the reusable absorbent pad. Usually made out of fabric, these pads are placed underneath the fitted sheet on top of the mattress. When an accident occurs, the pad locks away wetness and decreases the chances of it reaching the mattress. Pads come in many different sizes and thicknesses. After an accident, the pad should be kept in a sealed plastic container if it cannot be laundered immediately.
If you don't want to deal with washing wet underpads along with wet bedding, disposable bedding protection is a convenient alternative. Made from materials similar to those used for protective liners for incontinence, these pads are absorbent and designed for disposal after an accident. Because these pads are not as durable as the reusable variety, they may need to be thrown away frequently even if no accidents occur, as they can bunch up and become wrinkled from a person's movements during the night. When throwing away a disposable pad, be sure to place it inside of a seal-able plastic bag.
Mattress protectors are another form of protection for bedding. Instead of a pad, a protector is a sheet-like cover or a zippered bag that is placed over the mattress. You can use a protector with pads for extra protection or on its own. Always place the protector underneath the fitted sheet on the bed, as these covers can irritate the skin.
If you have or your loved one has only recently begun to develop problems with incontinence at night or bedwetting, be sure to discuss the matter with your doctor. There may be a new condition responsible for the symptom that requires diagnosis and medical treatment.Civic Center’s former LAPD headquarters Parker Center is barreling toward demolition—work is scheduled to begin this fall, the Los Angeles Times reports—but before the building is razed, a unique art piece within the structure will be removed.
The art work is “Theme Mural of Los Angeles,” a 36-foot-long, six-foot-wide mosaic mural that’s been in the building since it opened in 1955.
The six-ton mural by noted sculptor and mosaic artist Joseph L. Young is described as “the panoramic history of Los Angeles.” The mosaic depicts recognizable landmarks of the city—Grauman’s Chinese Theater, Griffith Observatory, City Hall—as well as stylized oil derricks, a freeway interchange, and waterfront.
The mosaic was Young’s first work in a public space, though he went on to design many more, the Times noted in the artist’s 2007 obituary.
The artwork will be removed in one piece this Saturday, according to the artist’s estate. The public is invited to attend the event and watch as the mural leaves the building for good.
Though the mural is being preserved, its future is a little unsure: the large piece does not yet have a permanent new home.
Young was a sculptor and mosaic artist with work spread across Los Angeles, but two of his more prominent pieces remain in Downtown.
Young also designed the dynamic, space-age Triforium sculpture in the Los Angeles Mall. That piece is expected to be renovated and relit.

Empty since 2013, when the LAPD moved to a new headquarters, Parker Center is slated to be razed to make way for a new 27-story office tower for city employees. That project, previously projected to cost $438 million, is now expected to cost about $700 million, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
A new report out from the Chief Administrative Officer says the cause for the discrepancy is that the earlier estimate did not include “soft costs,” like design work or project management.

&gt;conpiracy theorists are fools

I never said this. There are many verifiable conspiracies throughout history. I am even considerate to those that genuinely hate both sides of the political spectrum but I think that those that solely promote right wing agiprop are foolish. 

As for why I come here? I don't know. I think that the mental health of many here could use a dose pragmatism from time to time. Living in a partisan bubble is not good.
