We Try the Seasonal Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake at Starbucks
Though it is curiously absent from their bakery menu, Starbucks has brought back the Raspberry Swirl Pound Cake ($2.25), a seasonal treat that appeared last year just before summer. The slice of pound cake stars a pinkish-red swirl of raspberry and a smear of cream cheese frosting. This time around, the only thing missing is the "cochineal extract", a coloring agent made from crushed up bugs that Starbucks began phasing out last April.
Overall, I'd call the raspberry swirl pound cake a success. The texture is great: cakey, but not too heavy. One side of the slice was a little dried out, likely because it was more exposed in the display case, but overall, it was fairly moist.
Biting into the cake, you get three flavors, simultaneously: lemon, raspberry, and sour cream, all of which make an appearance in the list of ingredients. There's lemon zest mixed into the cake, along with light sour cream, while the swirl features a straight-forward list of ingredients that actually puts the berries before any other "natural flavors": sugar, raspberries, water, natural flavors, pectin, and locust bean gum.
Having three tangy components in the cake, not to mention the icing, which also has a tinge of tang, makes it no surprise that this is one of Starbucks' less cloying bakery items. I thought it worked great as a breakfast pastry, but because the cake tastes reasonably light, I'd be as willing to snack on it alongside an Arnold Palmer at lunchtime as I would to eat it as an after dinner dessert.
After finding love with Starbucks' cream cheese brownie, I didn't think lightning could possibly strike twice, but hey, credit where it's due: this is one of Starbucks' best baked goods in recent history.

Spanaway Park
Park Updates
ALERT: 7/14/20 - the Health Department lifted the toxic algae closure for Lake Spanaway. Toxic algae are still present in the water but at reduced levels. A caution advisory is now in place, which means people and pets should avoid areas of the lake—don't swim, wade, waterski, or fish—with visible algae. When in doubt, stay out. Please visit the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department for more information on algae conditions.
Park Amenities
This 135-acre park along beautiful Spanaway Lake is extremely popular with many year-round activities. Visitors to the park can explore a multitude of aquatic recreation opportunities, including two swimming beaches (no lifeguards), a boat launch, a fishing pier, handicapped accessible bathrooms, a new picnic area by the south swimming beach, newly renovated boat ramp, ADA playground equipment with a seating plaza for parents and a new three mile trail system by Little Spanaway Lake, as well as restoring the shoreline.
In addition, the park features softball fields, basketball courts, children's play area and walking trails along several thousand feet of waterfront.
Non-motorized boat rentals, including canoes and paddle boats are also available. Call the boathouse at (253) 531-0555 for more information and boathouse hours.
Spanaway Park boasts great family / company picnic areas with five covered open-side picnic shelters, each with running water, electricity and a large grill.
In the holiday season, it is home to Fantasy Lights Walk and Fantasy Lights, the largest drive-through holiday display in the Northwest. Summer day camps and youth sports utilize this park's many recreational opportunities.
Park Hours
- 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., unless otherwise posted and/or during seasonal hours.
Seasonal Hours
To facilitate the setup for Fantasy Lights, new times for gate closures go into effect at Spanaway Park in October to protect the public from safety hazards as the light displays are on the ground and in the process of being set up/disassembled.
- North gates closes at 3:00 p.m. mid October through January.
- South gates closes October 12, 2020 - January 15, 2021
Speed Limit
The speed limit within Spanaway Park is 20 m.p.h.
Special Events
The following special events are scheduled in the park and can affect entrance and parking availability:
- Fantasy Lights WALK - cancelled for 2020

Knowing what type of case or issue you have will help you determine how to proceed.
Civil Cases: Civil cases involve a disagreement between two parties. One party, called the plaintiff, brings a lawsuit against another party, called the defendant. Often, if the plaintiff wins the lawsuit, the defendant must pay money to the plaintiff. Family law cases are included in the category of civil cases.
Criminal Cases: Criminal cases involve the violation of a criminal law. A Maryland criminal case starts with a written statement accusing a defendant of breaking the law. A private citizen (or a law enforcement officer) may ask a District Court Commissioner to file a statement of charges to start a criminal case against a defendant. The person asking for the statement of charges must provide a sworn affidavit, and the Commissioner must determine whether the affidavit shows probable cause that the defendant committed the offense. The State of Maryland is the party that prosecutes criminal charges in court. (Even if a statement of charges is filed, the State of Maryland may not choose to prosecute the charges.) A defendant who is found guilty will be punished by the State, often with fines or incarceration. Traffic cases are included in the category of criminal cases.
- Often, criminal cases involve victims who have been harmed by a crime. Victims and defendants both have important rights. For example, defendants have a right to counsel, and victims generally have a right to seek restitution for their losses.
Juvenile Cases: Juvenile cases involve children. Juvenile cases include cases where a child is accused of breaking a law, as well as cases of child abuse.
Most of the information in the People's Law Library is about the types of civil cases most frequently handled in state courts by self-represented parties. However, we also provide some very basic information, including links to other information sources, regarding Criminal Law and Victim's Rights, as well as Youth Law.
The remaining information is about civil cases.
Civil cases:
Your legal situation is important to you—and to the other party. The filing of a court case affects your legal rights and the rights and duties of the other party. For this reason, it's very important that you stop and take the time to think whether or not a court case is the best way to resolve your dispute, and if it is how you plan to go forward with it.
The first step to think about is handling your dispute outside of court. Court cases take time, cost money and may cause some stress or disruption in your life. Some strategies to use in handling your problem outside of court are these:
- Talk with the other party. Make sure you take the time to present all the facts correctly. If it's possible, try to talk in a "neutral" area or by phone. If you reach an agreement, put it in writing, sign it and have the other person sign it too. Your local law library may have sample agreements that you can use to help get you started.
- Write a letter to the other party. Tell the other party what you expect done and give them a reasonable time to do it. At this point, you should think about including a statement that you may pursue a legal action if the other party does not take care of the problem by the date you give. However, you should always be respectful in conveying this information, even if you're upset. You should make a copy of the letter for your files and then send the letter by certified mail. Your local law library may have sample "demand letters" that you can use to help get you started.
- Consider mediation. There are now many mediation programs to choose from. The advantage of mediation is that it's less costly and less formal than going to court. A professionally skilled and neutral mediator will hear your story and the other side and work to find more of a win-win resolution to your dispute. You can find mediation programs here.
If these strategies don't work for you, then you might need to file a case in court.
Your next step is to think about whether filing a lawsuit is really "worth it." You should think about whether or not you can really win your case. If you do win, you should make sure that the costs and time spent are in line with the amount of money you can actually receive from the other party.
In order to have a chance to win your case, you will need to make sure that you:
- File your case on time. The court has rules about how much time you have between the date of the dispute and when you can file a case. Many factors affect how this date is calculated, so you should file soon after the date of the dispute. In many instances you have three years to file a case, but you should read the rules to make sure. For more information, read the article on Statutes of Limitations.
- Can "prove" your case by providing evidence. When you file a case, you become the "plaintiff." (The opposing party is the "defendant.") You always have "the burden of proof" to show why you should win. You show your proof according to the legal standard called the "preponderance of the evidence," which means that you are more likely to be right than wrong. To do this, of course, you will need to make sure that you have collected, or will be able to collect, evidence that explains your dispute. Evidence can be documents like contracts, invoices, letters or doctor's reports. There are many rules regarding different types of evidence and what the court will admit as proof and what it won't. You should read these rules if you have any questions.
- Can follow the legal requirements for your type of case. The type of case you file determines what type of evidence you will need. For example, in a contract dispute, you should have a copy of the contract signed by both parties. In a negligence case, you will need to show that the other party had a duty to care for you, and that you were injured somehow as a result of the other party not caring for you. When you file a case, you will need to state—and later prove—these legal requirements.
You will also need to make some personal decisions about costs. First, you need to think about how much you might receive if you win your case. You will need to consider what you are owed, of course. You also might deserve and additional amount from the other party to make you "whole" again and to get you back in the position you were in before the dispute (factors such as interest, court costs and attorney's fees).
Second, you will need to make sure the other party has the ability to pay. For instance, the other party may have filed for bankruptcy. Or, sometimes the defendant just will refuse to pay. While you have rights in that instance, the practical problem for you is that you will need to spend more time to get your money.
Finally, you will need to decide how you will handle your case—with an attorney or by yourself. An attorney has valuable training, and must try to do what is best for you, the client. It is usually best to work with an attorney if you can. You can find out how to hire an attorney at Tips on Hiring a Private Attorney. If you cannot afford to hire an attorney, you may be eligible for free or reduced-cost legal services. Check the Legal Services Directory for more information. Even if you are not eligible for free or reduced-cost representation, you may not have enough money to hire an attorney. If that is your situation, courts offer some self-help services to give you help and information that you can use to handle your own case. Check here for self-help services. To help you decide if you might be successful handling a case on your own, use this quiz.

I let out a loud whoop last week when a jury returned a record $240 million verdict on behalf of individuals with intellectual disabilities. No, it wasn't my case. No, it wasn't here in Maine; it was in Iowa. And no, the plaintiffs almost certainly will never collect any of the money.
I've handled all sorts of discrimination cases for over 25 years. Race cases. Age cases. Sexual harassment cases. Disability discrimination cases. But maybe the ones that have meant the most to me are the disability harassment cases I've helped to resolve.
You see, for me it is personal. I've got a son with autism. He just turned 22 but in his relatively short life I've learned so much about myself from watching and raising him. About how impatient I can be—and how that gets me nowhere. About the many things I take for granted that he can't do—reading and writing, driving, and the blessings of friendship. And, maybe more than anything else, about the power of music; how people who can't always communicate very well with one another can speak to each other through rhythm and song.
Every time I've handled a disability harassment case—indeed, every time I read about one—I imagine Brendan is the victim. He is sweet and innocent, loving and trusting. Which has meant that over the years, he has been emotionally abused by a caregiver, and he has been sexually assaulted.
Which is why it made my blood boil to read about what happened at Henry's Turkey Service in Iowa. In the guise of helping individuals with disabilities, Henry's Turkey Service took advantage of our most vulnerable citizens. It paid 32 individuals with intellectual disabilities less than the minimum wage, housed them in squalid conditions, and denied them necessary medical care. The managers hit, kicked, and in one instance handcuffed these employees who could not fend for themselves. They referred to these individuals with disabilities by derogatory names such as "retard," "dumb ass," and "stupid."
Unfortunately, as unfathomable as what happened at Henry's Turkey Service may seem, it is not so uncommon. Similar suits—although certainly not on this scale and nowhere near so horrific—have been brought against some of our nation's largest employers. It was not so long ago that individuals like my son were taken away and locked up in places with terrible names like The Maine School for the Feeble Minded—later called Pineland Hospital. When they died, sometimes they were buried in graves marked only with a number, as if they never had existed.
Which is why I serve as a board member of the Cromwell Center for Disabilities, which provides innovative school programs to help kids see that people with disabilities aren't so different from you and me. And why I also serve as a board member at the Disabilities Rights Center, which advocates for and protects the rights of individuals with disabilities. And why I applaud initiatives like the one proposed by State Senator Justin Alfond to encourage employing the disabled.
I'd like to think that with laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, guaranteeing non-discrimination in the workplace and educational opportunities to people with disabilities, we've come a long way. But then I read cases like the one at Henry's Turkey Service. And I learn that only 26% of the disabled are employed here in Maine, one-third nationally. And then I realize how far we still have to go.
Like I said, for me, it's personal.

Home Security in Sarasota, Florida
According to jsu.edu, each year there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US, which means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed
Your Chances of Becoming a Victim of a Burglary in Sarasota, FL
No one likes thinking about potentially becoming a victim of crime in Florida, but every single day in the US a break-in happens every 4 seconds. It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in Sarasota become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.
Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Florida Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Florida residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Safety Tip: Wedding gift idea
August gone and the fall season looms near. Where did the summer go? I can't tell you, but I can tell you it's no longer the season for weddings. Nope. September and October are now the most popular times for weddings, with 19% of weddings taking place in September and 14% in October. That means if you're getting a wedding invitation, it will probably be for a fall wedding.
If you're wondering why we're talking about weddings as the month of September approaches, it's because we have an unusual wedding gift idea for you: home security. Sure, it's not a glamorous gift, but it is a thoughtful one.
Making home security doable
Although Americans are waiting longer to get married, with the average age now 27 for women and 29 for men, there's still a chance they will be living on tight budgets, especially if they are buying a house. Adding a home security system to their monthly expenses probably won't be a priority once they've taken on a massive mortgage payment.
If you're older and your financially established, you can give home security as a wedding gift, with the monthly cost easily less than the cost of a dinner out. You'll hardly notice the cost of the monthly fee. Then later when the young couple is financially more stable, they can take over the payments. In the meantime, you've helped to keep them safe, and they'll get into the habit of having the home security system, making it easier to budget for later.
Keeping clutter at bay
A home security system also makes a practical wedding gift because it doesn't add to our ever-growing collection of "stuff." The peace of mind it provides is not tangible like a dinner plate or throw pillow, but then again, who can put a price on peace of mind? Yet it takes up no room, doesn't need storage space, and won't someday end up at a garage sale.
If you're headed to a wedding this fall and you want to avoid working your way through the dreaded online registry, consider home security instead. Learn more about the benefits of the gift of home security, a gift that keeps on giving—peace of mind, that is, without causing clutter.

I haven't read very many, but my fav YA book would have to be Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer. I love the whole Twilight Saga but Eclipse is my fav because of the love between Bella and Edward. Even though she has Jacob in her ear 24/7 about why he's the wrong one, Bella listens to her heart.

You say you know your Porsche history? Vintage European vehicle spotter supreme Kim of Copenhagen has a tough one for you! Name the Porsche that came with a 1,200-horse Mercedes-Benz engine right from the factory?
OK, we're cheating here; the vehicle in question is a Mystery Tank, not a car. The Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus aka Porsche Type 205 was a super-heavy tank design that resulted from a brainstorming session between Ferdinand Porsche and his boss, One-Ball Adolf. 1,200 horsepower sounds like a lot, but this monster- which never saw combat in WW2- scaled in at 211 US tons, or the weight of approximately 132 Porsche 997s. Not quite as cool as a Lamborghini tractor, but a good Porsche trivia question nonetheless.

- A safe and healthy environment.
- A just taxation system where corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share.
I hereby pledge to take actions in support of these campaign efforts, starting by sharing this information with my friends and social networks.

Burton Malkiel has just published his list of best and worst asset classes for investors, and bonds are at the bottom of the list.
"Bonds are the worst asset class for investors," says Malkiel (left), the author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street, in an opinion piece published in late March in The Wall Street Journal. "Usually thought of as the safest of investments, they are anything but safe today. At a yield of 2.25%, the 10-year U.S. Treasury note is a sure loser."
The Princeton economics professor reasons that even if the overall inflation rate is only 2.25% in the next 10 years, an investor who holds a 10-year Treasury until maturity will realize a zero real return after inflation. And if the investor sells prior to maturity, he warns, it will likely be for less than the face value of the note if the inflation rate rises.
So given the present outlook for a self-sustaining U.S. recovery tempered by rising gasoline prices and continued euro zone troubles, what is the best strategy for investors? Malkiel looks at three asset classes in reverse order, and after ranking bonds worst, he picks real estate as his No. 1 investment bet, followed by equities—emerging markets, especially —in second place.
"Real estate is a particularly attractive asset class," Malkiel wrote, asserting that it will be one of the best investments over the next decade. "Investors who are currently renting the place in which they live should strongly consider buying."
Housing affordability has never been more attractive, he says, noting that real-estate prices have plummeted if not to their absolute lows, then certainly very near to them. "Long-term mortgages are below 4% for those who can qualify. Moreover, under present tax laws there are advantages to owning since mortgage interest is deductible and rent is not."
As for equities, despite a substantial rise from their October 2011 lows, equities are still attractively priced, according to Malkiel.
"A good way to estimate the likely long-run rate of return from common stocks is to add today's dividend yield (around 2%) to the long-run growth of nominal corporate earnings (around 5%)," he writes. "This calculation would suggest that long-run equity returns will be about 7%—five percentage points more than the safest bonds."
Emerging market equities in particular win Malkiel's favor because price-earnings multiples for emerging markets have traditionally been about 20% higher than for U.S. stocks, but today they are 20% lower. "Over the long run, emerging markets have better demography (younger populations) and better fiscal balances than the developed markets," he says, "and they are likely to continue to grow at a far more rapid rate than the developed world."

Arándanos/Chile: envíos a EE.UU podrían ocurrir 10 días antes de lo normal
La llegada de los primero arándanos chilenos a Estados Unidos podría ocurrir temprano esta temporada mejorando de las oportunidades de realizar promociones durante los días festivos de invierno. Los envíos normalmente comienzan a principios de diciembre, pero el grueso de las importaciones de arándano chileno llega después de navidad.
Blueberry shipments from Chile could begin arriving earlier than usual this season, enhancing opportunities for winter holiday promotions.
Wish Farms, Plant City, Fla., expects to receive blueberries from Chile in late November, said Teddy Koukoulis, director of blueberry operations.
After a trip to Chile in late August, Koukoulis is convinced the deal could get off to an earlier start this year.
"I saw a lot of flowers, a lot of buds," he said. "Then, I would have said it could be 10 days early."
Cooler weather in the first half of September, however, could put the brakes on that rapid growth, he said.
Predictions mixed
Wish Farms' Chilean volumes likely will be up about 50% this year, Koukoulis said. For the industry as a whole, however, volumes likely will be only slightly above last season, he said.
Chilean blueberries shipped by Chicago-based Sun Belle Inc. were beginning to arrive in Asia in limited volumes the week of Oct. 8, said Janice Honigberg, the company's president.
Production was running on time in Chile's region IV in early October, said Honigberg, who expects a smooth transition from Argentinean to Chilean product in the U.S. this year.
"It should dovetail very well," she said.
Chile's central growing area should begin should begin producing in good volume by the end of November or beginning of December, Honigberg said.
"This volume is somewhat dispersed, since some of it comes in by air during the first half of December up until Christmas, and some comes in by boat in late December," she said.
Chile's southern growing area should have good volume at the end of January and early February, helping to ensure promotable U.S. volumes through February.
Weather-wise, the Chilean winter was milder than expected, Honigberg said. There were, however, enough cold hours for fruit to mature properly.
"Fruit set is excellent, and it looks like there will be very good size, generally speaking," Honigberg said.
There likely won't be enough fruit for big Christmas promotions, Honigberg said, but there should be enough to promote for New Year's.
Sun Belle plans to increase production of new blueberry varieties in Chile this year, Honigberg said.
Larger volumes of stars, jewels and emeralds are expected in the northern growing areas, while the central and southern regions will see greater production of the legacy variety, she said.
Up to 10 days early
The Chilean blueberry harvest typically starts in early December, with the first significant arrivals in the U.S. and Canada just after Christmas, said Tom Tjerandsen, managing director for North America for the Chilean Fresh Fruit Association, Sonoma, Calif.
This season, however, optimal growing conditions in early harvest areas has growers believing harvest could be 10 days early, Tjerandsen said.
That said, it's still early in the game to make too many predictions, Tjerandsen cautioned.
"There's still a lot of time between now and then, and Mother Nature has been known to step in with considerable change resulting from those weather events," he said.
In spite of the early start, Chilean importers think volumes will peak on time, in late January and early February, Tjerandsen said.
Nolan Quinn, berry category director for The Oppenheimer Group, Vancouver, British Columbia, said industrywide numbers should be similar to last season.
Oppenheimer, however, expects to increase its Chilean imports through a combination of adding new growers and sourcing more berries from existing growers, Quinn said.
In mid-September, the Northern Chile deal was running a week or two ahead of schedule, Quinn said. The growing season in the north has been very dry, with 40% less precipitation than normal.
As a result, volumes will be down, though quality should be unaffected, Quinn said. Some product should begin arriving in the U.S. from northern Chile by air in mid-November. Container shipments should follow in late November or early December, he said.
In central Chile, meanwhile, new plantings are starting to mature, making it likely that volumes will be up from the region for Oppenheimer, Quinn said.
And in the late season, southern Chilean deal,volumes also are expected to be up, he said.
In addition to an increase in its overall Chilean blueberry program in 2012-13, Oppenheimer expects a boost in organic offerings, Quinn said.
"We're getting into it — we haven't done much in Chile," he said. "We think the demand's there. The major retailers are carrying both (conventional and organic)."
Andres Armstrong, general manager of the Chilean Blueberry Committee, Santiago, said Mother Nature has been kind to growers this year, promising high-quality fruit.
"(There have been) only light rains and no frost at all," he said. "We anticipate high quality and healthy product this season."
Brian Bocock, vice president of product management in the Grand Junction, Mich., office of Naples, Fla.-based Naturipe Farms LLC, said he expected Chilean shipments to begin arriving in mid-October, with volume shipments slated for the first week of December.
"We're running a week to ten days early," Bocock said. "We should be rolling really good by the last week of December."
New acreage, higher volumes
Volume should be up industrywide in 2012-13, thanks to new acreage, maturing bushes that are now producing more fruit and favorable growing conditions, Bocock said.
"They haven't had any significant weather events," he said. "We expect a good, solid crop."
Volumes for all importers could be up 15% this season, but Naturipe expects an even bigger jump.
"We grow a lot faster than the industry," Bocock said.
California Giant Inc., Watsonville, Calif., likely won't begin receiving Chilean blueberries until early November, said Cindy Jewell, the company's marketing director.
Early reports from Chile indicated good quality and ample supplies for the 2012-13 export season, Jewell said.
"They're all optimistic that the fruit is there, the plants are healthy," she said.
California Giant expects to ship more Chilean blueberries this year than last, Jewell said.
Los Angeles-based The Giumarra Cos. doesn't expect significant volumes until about the first week of December, said Tom Richardson, general manager in the company's Wenatchee, Wash., office.
"All the main growing areas are just coming out of winter," Richardson said Sept. 27. "We're just getting started in Argentina. The earliest the main (Chilean) areas will begin is mid- to late October."
Giumarra expects its Chilean supplies to rise this season.
