For Sandwich residents concerned about the tax impact of the $20 million public safety facility proposal, the other shoe dropped last night.
Town engineer Paul S. Tilton came before the board of selectmen last night to propose a road and infrastructure bond totaling $10 million.
Mr. Tilton, who is also the town's director of public works, further proposed adding $300,000 every year to the town's pavement operating budget to maintain its roads.
Although the selectmen recognize the need to address and repair the town's deteriorating roads, parking lots and other infrastructure, they expressed concern about the potential debt sticker shock that faces Sandwich taxpayers.
To that end, they asked Mr. Tilton and town manager George H. Dunham to report back to the selectmen by January 15 on possible ways to space out the work and debt to avoid hitting the taxpayers with one massive financial blow.
Mr. Tilton, in his presentation last night, listed the spending that he said is needed.
That spending includes $3 million on public roads in the town; $200,000 on sidewalks; $4 million on driveways and parking lots at town facilities; $1.3 million on driveways and parking lots at school facilities; $500,000 for school tennis courts; and $1 million to complete the Sandwich High School athletic field.
One key word characterizes the need for maintenance of public roads, parking lots and similar infrastructure in Sandwich: overdue.
Mr. Dunham said the town has not issued a road bond since 1996.
The town manager further said the cost of the road work will only increase over time. The 1996 bond, for example, was for $3.2 million.
"The longer we wait, the more expensive it becomes," he said. "We're so far gone, we need that big influx of money."
In the intervening years since the last bond, selectman chairman James W. Pierce said, the town effectively has been "cannibalizing" its roads by failing to invest in them.
At present, Mr. Tilton said, the town is receiving an average of $700,000 of state Chapter 90 money to use toward its roads, but needs $1.3 million annually to adequately maintain all town roads.
Meanwhile, the operating budget at the town Department of Public Works is used for items such as pothole repairs and limited work on drainage, berms, sidewalks and parking lots.
Further, Sandwich has 148 miles of public road to maintain, appreciably more than off-Cape towns such as Hanover, with 85, and Kingston, with 69.
The town engineer said an analysis of pavement conditions on Sandwich roads and at town and school facilities shows that their conditions are deteriorating.
In 2005, for example, roads in town rated an 83 on the pavement condition index, placing their maintenance needs just slightly above routine.
This year, however, the roads in town had slipped to a 76 rating, requiring preventative maintenance, and not far from requiring structural improvements. Some school and town facilities had dropped to a rating of 62, requiring structural improvement at the least and just slightly above the need for base rehabilitation.
Mr. Tilton presented Sandwich roads in varying conditions, from the Service Road (characterized as in good condition, possibly in need of crack sealing or minor repairs) to Popple Bottom Road (in poor condition, needing reclamation or full-depth reconstruction.)
The town engineer said roads can get to a point where, through the pounding of traffic and seepage of water, it does not make sense to do repairs rather than reconstruction.
The key, Mr. Tilton said, is to prevent roads from reaching that state.
In recent years, he said, Sandwich has fixed its main roads while it has neglected its subdivision roads.
He presented a chart showing a "pavement deterioration curve." According to the chart, an excellent road over time can experience a 40-percent decline in quality to a fair condition, yet remain relatively inexpensive to renovate.
But a further 40-percent decline, from fair to very poor, multiplies the cost of renovation by a factor of 13 to 17.
Selectmen said they recognized the need for the road and infrastructure work.
"You've convinced me that we have to do something, that the status quo is not enough," selectman John G. Kennan Jr. said.
But selectmen said they also recognized that residents already struggling with large property tax bills are in no hurry to take on additional tax burdens, no matter how justified.
"We can't ask for all these things," selectman Ralph A. Vitacco said.
Sandwich voters already have shown town officials that they are prepared to say no.
This past May, the voters defeated a $30 million public safety facility plan. In the wake of that vote, the selectmen asked the committee working on the facility to come back with a proposal that totaled no more than $20 million.

Police issued an Amber Alert Monday for Shiloh Gilbert-Alfar, who was born on May 27th. They say the baby is likely in the company if her mother Amirah Alfar, 30.
Police say the Department of Children and Families was supposed to take custody of the child this weekend, but could not locate the mother or daughter.

Unless you've been living under a rock or have been frozen in a block of ice for the past couple months, you've probably heard a bunch about this Captain America guy, and hey, we get it, comics can be a treacherous world to navigate so we're here to make it a bit easier for you with a comiXology Guide to Getting Started with Captain America!
Cap has had a long glorious run of protecting the American Way, but it all had to start somewhere, and way back in 1941 (that's even before Tumblr existed!) Nazis were rolling through Europe and freedom as we know it was being threatened. Joe Simon & Jack Kirby saw the need for a new American Hero and thus Captain America was born, making his first appearance in the now iconic cover of Captain America Comics #1. This comic has the beginning of all that is Cap: The Super Soldier Program, Bucky, and the first appearance of The Red Skull (who is sporting a hell of a sweatsuit…)
Stan Lee, also with Jack Kirby, put his classic style into a retelling of Steve Rogers transformation into the First Avenger in Captain America #109
In what is now seen as the essential Captain America run, Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting brought Cap up to present time. If there is one Captain America story you are going to read this is the one.
And if you're really just more of the type of person who wants the newest thing, Rick Remender has helmed the Captain America ship and brought along his unique sci-fi stylings. See how Steve Rogers fares when he is transported as far away from the good ol' U.S. of A. as he has ever been before with Captain America: Castaway in Dimension Z.
That should give you a good jumping off point for all things Cap! Enjoy!

Unilever treats Europe like Asia
As consumers transform their shopping habits amid the financial crisis, the consumer goods giant has started to change the way it sells some of its products.
The consumer goods giant will now apply the marketing strategies it has learned from its emerging markets business to drive future growth in Europe.
Jan Zijderveld, head of Unilever's European business, took note of the recessionary environment in the continent and recently warned that poverty will rise in the region as a result of the ongoing debt crisis.
As consumers transform their shopping habits amid the financial crisis that has left Greece stalled in recession for the past five years, Unilever has already started to change the way it sells some of its products. For example in Spain, which is reeling under the effects of the highest unemployment rate in the developed part of the world, the company is selling Surf detergent in packages for as few as five washes.
Last month, Unilever said that "continued sluggish economies and fragile consumer confidence had hampered growth" in the developed markets. Revenue from European countries grew by 0.2% in Q2 compared with a modest growth of close to 16% in Asia and other emerging economies. Unilever's emerging markets growth was primarily driven by markets like India, China, Turkey and South Africa -- and it now accounts for 54% of the group's total turnover.
Although the company's profitability still falls way behind the largest European rival, Nestle, its shares have been trading at a ratio to earnings not far behind. Even on the consumer goods front, Unilever has fared much better than its main rival, U.S.-based Procter & Gamble (PG), whose profits have more or less stagnated in the past three years. Last quarter, the Europe-based Unilever exceeded Wall Street estimates as growth of personal-care products and Asia helped offset declines in Europe.
We have a $37 Trefis price estimate of Unilever stock, 5% ahead of the current market price.

Apple iPhone 6 Plus ( 16GB, space gray)
The iPhone 6 Plus is too big for everyone to love it, but it's Apple's best phone this year. If your budget and your pocket can make room for it, give the iPhone 6 Plus serious consideration.
Samsung Galaxy Alpha
If you love the high-end tech Samsung crams into its phones but hate the plastic bodies, the Galaxy Alpha may well be the phone for you. Its processor and camera perform brilliantly, while its compact 4.7-inch size makes it very comfortable to hold and use in one hand. Its low-resolution display is a big letdown, though, especially when you consider the high price of the phone, which does take the shine off an otherwise brilliant phone.
Pricing not available
Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini
If you've been hoping for a fully-fledged flagship phone with all the bells and whistles of the the other elite mobiles just in a more compact size, prepare to be disappointed. The Galaxy S5 Mini matches the regular S5 in name and looks, but not in specs. If you're after a comfortable to use phone with the Samsung name and enough power for everyday use, it'll suit well. For a true compact flagship, look towards Sony's Xperia Z3 Compact.
HTC Butterfly 2
It can't compete with the One M8's premium metal skin, but the HTC Butterfly 2's powerful camera and processor make it one of the company's best flagship phones.
Pricing not available
HTC One M8 for Windows ( 16GB)
While its camera isn't best-in-class and Windows Phone's underwhelming app selection still stings, the elegant and sophisticated HTC One M8 is an enticing alternative to Nokia models.
Verykool Spark s505 ( black)
The Spark is Verykool's best phone yet, but unless you need a dual-SIM phone, don't bother.
Asus PadFone X
Though it has last year's specs, the PadFone X marries two mobile devices into one convenient form at an affordable price.
ZTE Nubia 5S Mini ( black)
Smartphone photography buffs might be disappointed, but the ZTE Nubia Mini 5S is a capable, budget-friendly unlocked phone that should prove great for travel.
Xiaomi Mi 4
Xiaomi's Mi 4 offers almost everything you want in a high-end flagship smartphone -- beautiful design and snappy performance at a price that's just too good to pass up.
Kyocera Brigadier
If you don't mind its extra bulk, the Kyocera Brigadier is a rugged and water-resistant device that delivers a modern smartphone experience for a low price.

Time to Buy These Biotechnology Companies?
Mohsin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The earnings season is in full swing with a number of stocks moving on earnings news. Allergan Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: AGN) and Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) have announced their quarterly results recently. Their stellar results and guidance presents a buying opportunity to investors interested in health-care stocks. I have a buy rating on both stocks and believe they have a significant upside.
Allergan announced a much anticipated earnings report for its 4th quarter. The company has recently made an interesting acquisition of MAP Pharmaceuticals. The key investor concern from these earnings was the growth in its Botox franchise and guidelines for the next quarter. The street was expecting Allergan to report EPS of $1.18 and the company reported earnings of $1.21 (inclusive of tax credit), a 2% beat. The sales were mostly in line with street estimates of $1.51 billion. The improvement in the bottom line was driven by better than expected margins due to more effective cost management.
The company has also released full year 2013 earnings guidance. Allergan expects earnings to be in the range of $4.75-$4.83 and sales in the range of $5.99 billion to $6.29 billion. There will be some additional sales from the acquisition of MAP Pharmaceuticals that have not been included in the guidance. This acquisition would also be the key to progress of Allergan migraine franchise. Allergan is now in control of Levadex which was the leading candidates of MAP. It is an orally inhaled version of dihydroergotamine mesylate (DHE) and provides a more convenient relief from migraines.
The stock rose approximately 1.6% due to a positive outlook for the year ahead. The company has also announced that it plans to sell its obesity unit. The obesity industry is becoming competitive pretty fast with Arena Pharmaceuticals all set to launch Belviq and Vivus's Qsymia already on store shelves, figuratively. Due to its positive outlook for 2013, I am bullish on Allergan. The stock is trading at a P/e of 22x and 5% below mean sell side estimates. I have a price target of $119 based on a P/e of 25x and consensus earning estimates of 2013.
Gilead Sciences
The company announced its 4th quarter earnings on Monday. The market was expecting Gilead to report EPS of $0.48 and revenue of $2.4 billion. The company reported an EPS of $0.47 and revenues of 2.59 billion. There was an 18% y/y increase in revenues and 9% y/y increase in earnings. The non-GAAP EPS for the quarter was $0.5, indicating a 4% beat.
The company has reported stellar results for the full year 2012. The revenues increased from $8.39 billion in 2011 to $9.7 billion, a 16% increase. There was a minimal impact of top line performance on the bottom-line due to increased expenditures on Research and Development. The non GAAP EPS for the period was $1.95 per share as compared to $1.93 in 2011.
There an overall increase of 18% in product sales which were $2.51 billion for the quarter. The antiviral products are the company's leading revenue generator. The sales from Antiviral products were $2.17 for the quarter showing a stellar y/y growth of 20% in USA. Atripla was the largest contributor to the top line with revenues contribution of $863 million, approximately 35% of total revenues. This was closely followed by Truvada sales of approximately $832 million, a y/y increase of approximately 16%. The company has launched Stribild in August of last year and the product has shown promising sales of $40 million for the quarter.
Gilead is all set to profit from high growth in its HCV segment and earnings visibility from its Aids segment. I consider Gilead one of the best positioned biotechnology stock and have a PT of $54 on Gilead based on a P/e of 25x and consensus EPS estimates. These earnings reaffirm my faith in Gilead's continued growth and a stellar year ahead.

*Check out the 262 Quick Start Guide
Important Shipping Note: U.S. sales only.
Comments: I LOVE this watch! It has all of the simplicity of a Timex in a very classy package. The "pace" feature is a great addition. Before buying the Soleus, I read reviews at other websites reporting that the buttons are hard to press. That has not been an issue for me. Moreover, I am a small woman -- the circumference of my wrist is 6.75 inches -- and this watch is not too big. I like it's massive look and I like being able to see the numbers. If you prefer a smaller watch, go with the mid-size version. Either way, Soleus is terrific! From: Ann, Orange, CA, USA

Publication: theday.com
Hartford — The state Board of Education extended the term of New London's special master, Steven Adamowski, for another year Wednesday, following a report by Adamowski that showed a district that is improving but is still in need of supervision.
"We're pleased with the progress in New London,'' education Commissioner Stefan Pryor said after the unanimous approval by the board at its meeting in Hartford.
In a report to the state board, Adamowski recommended that the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education assist the New London school board in searching for a new superintendent; that New London select a superintendent from among qualified candidates recommended by Pryor's office; and that it offer a three-year contract. The new superintendent's contract would be considered for renewal based on the results of evaluations of student achievement.
In April, the New London board voted to not renew the contract of Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer, whose last day on the job will be June 30, 2014.
"There are those in New London who expected me to recommend replacing the New London school board with a state-appointed board,'' Adamowski said. "But this is a district that has much greater capacity, if we can bring the political situation under control so decisions can be made."
The state board accepted Adamowski's report but did not take action on any of his recommendations.
Adamowski said that if a performance-based evaluation for the superintendent had been in place, Fischer would not have been let go. He recommended help with the search because the board "is not well positioned to attract a strong, experienced superintendent, or handle a search process effectively."
Fischer, who attended the meeting in Hartford, said afterward that he believed the district had accomplished a lot under Adamowski's guidance, but he cautioned the New London board to think carefully about changing leadership.
"Although we have made great progress and we now have a set of recommendations based off Dr. Adamowski's first year in New London, my continuing concern is that when you change leadership in the district, you put it on hold for another two years," he said in a statement released after the meeting.
"I'd like to note that we've made great progress over the last four years, and this is especially true given the commissioner's recent comments that we were among three districts in the state that showed significant improvements in student achievement," he said. "New London High School has been recognized as one of the top performing high schools (under state involvement) in the state, and because we have improved overall, we lost $458,000 in ECS money used to fund our efforts throughout the district."
Adamowski was sent to the city by the state last August at the request of Fischer and a former school board chairman who said the board was politically dysfunctional and unable to make decisions.
Adamowski said board meetings have "improved significantly in terms of order, professionalism and civility." Board members have gone to training and new members elected in November also will undergo training.
In his report Wednesday on the status of the 3,100-student New London school system, Adamowski said the city of 6.5 square miles, where half the land is tax exempt, cannot support the schools. The entire school board is up for re-election every two years, which puts inexperienced board members in place. Also, the city has flat-funded the school district for five years in a row.
Although the district has lost 98 teachers over the past five years, mostly due to budget cuts, he said, there is still a "cadre of dedicated teachers at each school.'' The issue of "significant" staff turnover has yet to be addressed, he said.
"It is my belief that this issue of dysfunctional governance is rooted in lack of resources and the inability of the city to support the school district," he said. "One of you encouraged me to look at a regional solution. That was sage advice. I came to that conclusion within two or three months."
Earlier this year, the school board adopted a strategic operating plan that would turn the city into a regional magnet school district. Eventually, 25 percent of New London students would attend schools outside the district, and 25 percent of the student population in New London would comprise students from outside the district.
The state would provide an additional $3,000 a year per New London student when all schools are magnet schools. Adamowski said Nathan Hale School, which focuses on arts education, would be eligible for the additional funds this coming year. The district also is working with the Garde Arts Center, LEARN and the other schools to create three kindergarten through 12th-grade schools that will focus on arts, languages and math and science.
Adamowski will now be a state employee, earning about $162,000 a year. He also was reappointed Wednesday to continue working with the Windham school system. He had been an employee of the State Education Resource Center, also known as SERC, earning about $225,000 a year.
"I wanted to do this for one more year,'' Adamowski said after his reappointment. "The SERC salary was not realistic."

School board puts forth $40 million project bond
The Blaine school board has decided to wait on building a new elementary school in Birch Bay but will proceed with a $40 million capital projects bond that will be presented to voters in March.
The bond includes land acquisition for the proposed new school but not for the school itself.
Superintendent Ron Spanjer said the funding, also known as a maintenance and operations levy, is not a new tax but replaces a current levy that expires in 2008. If successful the March levy will continue funding through 2012.
Three-quarters of the bond will go for renovations at Blaine high school, which with 750 students, is 36 percent over its design capacity of 550 students. Because of this some programs are housed in the middle school. It would also fund an upgrading of the bus parking and maintenance facility and improvements to the stadium and Pipeline fields.
State funding only provides about two-thirds of the money needed to run the district.
Previous bond issues have raised $15 million in 1992 to build primary school facilities at Point Roberts and Blaine, and $19 million in 2001 to expand classrooms.
Blaine school district currently has the lowest capital project tax rate of the seven districts in Whatcom County at .83 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Nooksack Valley is highest at $2.68 per thousand.

|Is your home filled with constant fussing and fighting, and sometimes, physical abuse? One in four Americans - women, men and children - suffers from domestic abuse, and if you are parents, think about this. How is that type of environment affecting your children?
WTHR Channel 13 is honoring its 12th anniversary of Shattering the Silence on domestic abuse, child abuse and teen dating abuse. This year, we urge you to join us and take a stand against abuse. We cannot have healthy communities without families.
In Indiana, more than 20,000 children are abused and/or neglected each year. Studies show that 30% to 60% of people who abuse their partners also abuse children in the household. And 1 in 10 high school students admits experiencing physical dating violence in the past year. Abuse is not always physical. Sometimes, it is mental, emotional, or verbal abuse that tears apart our homes and relationships.
WTHR Cares and this year, we urge you to Take the Pledge against abuse. Learn how you can take action in your home, workplace, church, school, organizations, and neighborhoods. Abuse victims are your neighbors, friends, co-workers and families. This is not just somebody else's problem. This is a community problem. The violence in abusive homes often spills out into our streets, contributing to crime.
We also urge you to donate to the Shattering the Silence Fund to help prevent or stop the abuse cycle with our children. This Fund, managed by the Domestic Violence Network, raises money to pay for more healthy relationship programs in our schools and youth agencies. If children live in abusive homes, they have a much greater risk of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next.
If you are in an abusive relationship, or know someone who is, please call 2-1-1 right now to connect with area agencies for help, hope and healing. WTHR is shattering the silence. We cannot do it alone. We are a community. No more silence. No more abuse.

Cheap Camera
Don't buy an expensive camera - it's online video, so no one will tell the difference between a video that was shot on a $5,000 camera, or shot on a $150 camera like a Flipcam or Kodak Zi-8. Flipcam is being shut down by their parent company (Cisco), so you can find unbelievable deals on them these days... often less than $100. A Flipcam is what I use.
Inexpensive Lighting
Don't buy or use lighting, or a studio - instead of blowing $1,000 on lightboxes, muslin, frames and stands, just use.... drum roll please.... natural sunlight! Not only will you save money, but tons of time too. If you've ever tried to setup lighting - especially in a small room or office - you know that you can easily spend 30-60 mins fidgeting with things to avoid shadows or "hot spots" (glare) on your / your subject's face.
Best Video Editing Software
Don't but expensive editing software - make no mistake, a $5,000 editing program can do amaaaaazing things (broadcast-quality in fact) in the hands of a skilled operator. Here's the thing - for you and I to get to that level would require dozens and dozens of hours of practice. PLUS - the accomplish what you and I want to accomplish in our basic, blog-style marketing videos doesn't require movie magic - we don't need lazers, crazy intros, or any other form of glittering editing magic. We just need an intro, body, and outro. That's it. So purchase accordingly - get Screenflow for Mac (the best setup, and only $100), or if you're on a PC (my condolences) you can use Camtasia or Sony Vegas.

hi i just sent you a note from perry marshall's group.
i have a flip video cam, but i cant recharge it because it takes 8 hrs or so, and i dont know how to get my laptop not to shut down while the cam is attached via USB. Now that would be a great way for me to get started, if i could only recharge my flip. I paid almost $200 for it and i am very unhappy with this problem. Any ideas? I already spoke to gateway tech support and their directions didnt solve the prob.
PS I did make a video with a professional guy
Youtube put links next to my video to all my competitors when i uploaded my video! eeekk

Gluten-free cracker business moves to Blaine
Published on Wed, Apr 13, 2011 by
Tara Nelson

A local woman who developed a line of healthy crackers has moved her operation to Blaine.
Jovan Johnson, a former resident of Birch Bay, recently moved her business, Jovan's Pure Nutrition, to the Bioplex facility on Odell Road after its capacity outgrew the commercial kitchen space at Bellewood Acres farm in Bellingham.
Johnson said she developed the original cracker recipes at the age of 31 as she was recovering from a lengthy battle with colon cancer.
Using a borrowed food dehydrator and her friend's kitchen table, she developed gluten-free, sugar-free recipes added vegetables, spices, seeds and herbs to pack a healthy punch of flavor.
"I became passionate about health and wellness, and giving my body the fuel it needed to heal and thrive," she said. "Diet can play a major role in how we look and feel, and even how resistant we are to disease."
When Johnson initially introduced the crackers commercially in 2010, she distributed them to local co-ops and specialty stores. Since then, sales have grown and Jovan said it has enabled her to expand her line to natural food stores and food co-ops throughout the region. She said she is working out deals with two large health food chain stores but stopped short of naming those grocers.
"We're hoping to be distributing to about 900 stores by the end of this year," she said. "But our hope is not exactly to be huge or achieve a certain dollar amount, it's to to give people really good food to heal their bodies and be healthy."
Johnson added her company and its products are a direct result of her desire to share something healthy and nutritious with consumers. Now, she said she hopes to add more automation to the line to help cut down on labor costs and lower the retail price.
The still-30-something entrepreneur is also getting ready to relaunch her line with new packaging this year.
Jovan's Pure Nutrition's crackers come in four flavors: "Garden Pesto," "Spicy El Paso," "Taste of Tuscany" and "Zesty Tomato" and contain only whole-food, all-natural ingredients, including vegetables, seeds, herbs and spices.
In addition to being gluten-free, the crackers are also free of many other common allergens including soy, corn, dairy, egg, wheat and nuts and free of sugar, additives, preservatives or "fillers."

A Family of Bison Graze in Teton National Park
Jackson, Wyoming 2011
Moose munches on berries off the Moose Wilson Road.
Jackson Hole is famous across the planet as one of the best locations for wildlife and landscape photography. Our naturalist programs make the most of this by offering photo safaris twice per week throughout the year. This week we explored Grand Teton National Park with cameras, tripods and lenses to find historic barns, abundant wildlife and expansive mountain views. Taking advantage of our Spring wildflowers, we took a 20 minute walk to find this meadow of daisys with the majestic Teton range providing the perfect photographic backdrop (seen in the image above.)

August 27, 2013, 2:09 PM — Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's announcement last week that he will step aside in the next 12 months has renewed calls by analysts that the company offer Office on Apple's iPad and tablets powered by Google's Android.
"You're hearing these calls now because there's a perception, rooted in some reality, that Ballmer was the one who claimed Office as part of the platform wars," explained J.P. Gownder, a principal analyst at Cambridge, Mass.-based Forrester Research.
"This is really a good time to renew the call for Office on iOS and Android tablets," said Gownder. "It's clearly the best product in its class, and this is one of those classic moments where Microsoft could keep that momentum, where they can seize the day on platforms that show no sign of slowing."
Most experts believe that Microsoft has withheld Office from rivals' tablets as a strategic move to protect Windows and the tablets that it and its OEM partners sell. Windows RT, the scaled-down version of Windows 8 that powers the Surface RT, Microsoft's beleaguered tablet, comes with Office. And the legacy version of the suite, Office 2013, is a big part of Microsoft's marketing of its own Surface Pro, as it is for OEMs that produce Windows 8 tablets.
Giving iPad and Android tablet owners a chance to run a touch-based Office would, the theory goes, diminish the already slim chance that Windows tablets can catch up with Apple and the swarm of Asian tablet makers who have turned to Android.
But outsiders have continued to counter that Microsoft's decision was, and still is, shortsighted. They have argued that Microsoft is stifling Office's revenue potential in order to support a sagging Windows ecosystem.
"The Office franchise is exposed to erosion as non-Windows mobile devices take productivity work away from Windows PCs and mobile devices," said Al Hilwa, an analyst with IDC, in a guest post on GeekWire Monday.
Like Gownder, Hilwa called for Microsoft to let Office compete in the marketplace because the strategy of subordinating the suite to Windows' goals wasn't working. And with Ballmer on his way out, his objections may not carry any weight.
"Microsoft has to rethink its vision of the dominance of Windows in the mobile world and adjust to the reality that it will be at best one of several major players in future devices and will never have the control it did in the pre-touch era," Hilwa said.

Topic - 5 'hindsight is a wonderful thing' tips for beginners
megamonkeyman on 11 Mar 2014
I have been climbing for around 10 months. 80% indoor leading, bouldering. Some trad experience and equal outdoor bouldering on Southern sandstone. I really enjoy sport climbing at the minute so my summer focus will be on that with a little trad.
It may be an ambiguous question for some but what would you change in your climbing journey so far? Any mistakes not worth making? Tips for us new ones on sport and trad (safety, training ect.)
Anything you wish someone had told you when you were starting out?
For instance, a big guy in the gym and a natural bodybuilder (used every single weight available on the leg press type wild man) once said to me: 'if you wanna get strong, just pick some excercises and get good at them'. That stuck with me and working with that simple routine after 5 or so years I can squat over twice my body weight.
I know there is a lot more factors in climbing so that's why I asked for 5.
Oh and I stay away from yellow snow and always remember to tie a figure of eight not a shoe lace bow ha!

Sorrento Wood Inlay
Sorrento and Sorrento Coast have given Wood Inlay its highest splendour in the second half of the Nineteenth century. The art of Wood Inlay, yet, has very ancient origins and its flourishing is probably located in Asia Minor. The earliest inlaid objects found in Turkey, in fact, go back to 350 B.C.
In the 15th century the art was exported to Italy where first in Florence, and then in Sorrento, it developed in the technique and in the materials used.
In Sorrento, Inlay, thanks to the excellence of the products and the particular artistic characterization, achieved a relevant role which would bring the Sorrento artistic technique to be acknowledged all over the world. In particular, the diffusion and the development of the art of wood inlay in Sorrento is linked to the presence of religious men, especially Benedictine monks, who, in the monastery of Sant'Agrippino, made inlaid works by using walnut, lemon-tree, orange-tree and olive-wood. Moreover, an evidence of the flourishing art in Sorrento's territory is given by the presence of numerous inlaid works in the churches of the town. The themes represented vary from landscapes, still natures, to local products and to events linked to local history and to popular traditions.
The technique of Wood Inlay consists in the making of drawings on wooden surfaces through the assembling of small wooden pieces, previously cut and shaped. The wooden tesseras have various shades of colour and are less thick than a millimetre and, after being cut, are shaded thanks to the immersion into hot sand. The last phase, in the making of an inlaid product, foresees the making of the drawing through the assembling of the wooden tesseras which are sticked on wooden surfaces with isinglass, then sanded and varnished.

Jekyll & Hyde The Musical
It's been a while since Denver had a taste of the mad science inherent in Jekyll & Hyde, the killer musical perhaps more suited to Halloween than the advent of spring. It is now back at The Buell Theatre, better than ever, and drumming up a few extra chills before the imminent demise of winter.
One of New York's enduring hits, Jekyll & Hyde, which features a book and lyrics by two-time Academy Award-winning lyricist Leslie Bricusse and a score by Grammy Award-nominated composer Frank Wildhorn, is based as we all know on Robert Louis Stevenson's infamous tale of a decent scientist's wild experiment gone bad. A whirlwind odyssey pitting man against himself is set in motion when the brilliant Dr. Jekyll's medical fooling around backfires, giving life to his evil—and increasingly uncontrollable—alter ego Edward Hyde.
The musical spent some four years on Broadway and on multiple worldwide tours, but the production currently in Denver is an arresting pre-Broadway reinvention. It has a revised script, a slightly different song list, new orchestrations and an impressive new look.
Aside from the central battle between good and evil, this moody musical is loaded with romance, to be introduced this time by a new pair of stars. Tony Award-nominee and "American Idol" sensation Constantine Maroulis joins Grammy Award-nominee and Canadian R&B superstar Deborah Cox to handle the romantic aspects of this haunting tale, as well as inject robust new life into the Stevenson classic scheduled to make a return appearance on Broadway in April.
Maroulis, who shot to fame on "American Idol" and received a 2009 Tony Award nomination for his work in Rock of Ages, plays the dual title role. He is not shy about sharing a life-imitates-art event that he claims instantly connected him to Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll's scientific experiment was undertaken in an attempt to help his ailing father; by coincidence, Maroulis' own Dad was gravely ill when he, the son, was offered the role last year. Playing Dr. Jekyll only strengthened his resolve to give the musical his all.
"I feel you should approach every role with the passion and desire to find everything you need to find as an actor and artist," he told Playbill at the start of rehearsals last summer. "That's how I approached Rock of Ages, and that's how I'd approach Hamlet, which I'd love to do one day. I go about everything the same way."
Jekyll & Hyde previewed in La Mirada, CA, in September before kicking off its 25-week Broadway-bound national tour in October. The talented Jeff Calhoun is the director/choreographer of this new edition; among Calhoun's many varied credits are such admired and well-received musicals as the Tony-nominated Newsies, Big River and Grey Gardens.
The original Jekyll & Hyde saw the dark of night in 1990 at Houston's Alley Theatre, breaking box office records and playing to sold-out houses. At that time, a recording of the musical score yielded all the hit songs that continue to have a strong hold on listeners ("This is the Moment," "A New Life," "Someone Like You"), transforming Jekyll & Hyde at the time into something of a theatrical phenomenon.
Despite a mixed critical reception for its original New York run, a 1997 revival at Broadway's Plymouth Theatre turned things around. It played to sold-out houses and nightly standing ovations, breaking box office records several times and spawning legions of repeat visitors who became known as "Jekkies." (Some "Jekkies" claim to have seen this show more than 150 times.)
This success is a testament to its creators' persistence in their pursuit of perfection. When such stars as Liza Minnelli and The Moody Blues began performing and recording its songs, the show gained even greater traction.
While the look may have changed, the mood and the music that first grabbed audiences by the throat are very much there and ready to do it again.
"Any time you have a title with such history and recognition, it's important to take a fresh look at it," said Maroulis, who admits to never having seen the musical before being cast in it. Neither, incidentally, had director Calhoun.
"I feel like I'm creating a new role," Maroulis told Playbill. "We feel we have a really lean and mean script…. Jeff is a very meticulous, detail oriented director. Our approach is very grounded and very real, not over the top."

A 3,000 square foot kitchen is larger than many eating establishments and is far larger than most anyone would ever need, and would be time consuming to keep clean. I don't even need a house that big. Basically, when I was working my house was a place I slept and stored my stuff, and now that I'm retired I know that in a few years this place will be plenty big enough for me to try to keep clean.
Can you imagine people in their eighties puttering around a house that has a 3,000 square foot kitchen?
Mar 23, 2013 2:28AM
Seems to me that the kitchen has turned into the new way to show off your dough. Most people that request such a monstrousity of a room don't like to use it but prefer to see the green streaks in their friends that actually may use this room to it's fullest potential. It has become the incredibly over-sized bedroom that no one could possibly use or that super-sized bathroom for all those that like to spend their day just perusing their appearance in the oversized mirror. What a waste of time, resources,...and a life always wanting for the biggest and the best that money can buy. I know that some would say I'm jealous but I really like knowing my house is almost paid for, I can clean it easily, afford the insurance and taxes and STILL give my daughter a really nice wedding and I and my husband can take a nice trip once or twice a year. My children both went to college and we've got a nice retirement stashed away. We couldn't do that if we were always after the next big American folly that some designer has declared a must for the new home.

Does this seem strange to anyone else? A super huge kitchen? Why?? To have 30 or 50 guests in your kitchen? People talk much better in smaller groups, maximum of twelve. I'm also thinking having carpet and a soft old couch is a much warmer and more comfy way to entertain than cold floors and shiny kitchen counters. Let's go back to the old-fashioned small "sitting room" but have it be livable and cozy. Entertaining is good-- but not to show off, to meet the needs and comfort of your friends and family.

Fresh Start: Small Closet Updates that Make a Big Difference
It's easy to close the door to your closet and forget about what's in there...until the next time you get changed or put on your coat. Here are a few simple ideas for upgrading your closets' style and organization so that each look and rummage inside is enjoyable.
Go uniform. The easiest way to make your closet look more orderly is to use single-color multiples. If your current organizers are mismatched, you can avoid buying more stuff by spray painting or decoupaging the containers. Similarly, grouping like with like — dresses together, etc. — will make things look more orderly, can free up space, and might even make outfit-picking easier.
Upgrade your hangers. Replacing mismatched or wire hangers with ones that are sturdier and a single color — wooden in the coat closet and maybe plain white plastic for clothes — makes a cost-effective, instant upgrade. Make sure the hanger hooks are facing in toward the back of the closet (unless, of course, you're following Abby's tip for weeding out clothes you don't wear). To save space, you can also try slim profile or tiered hangers.
Look high and low, back and front. If well planned, even a small closet can hold a lot. For example, the closets in my apartment aren't wide or deep, but they are extra tall. Adding just one stool-accessible shelf can help corral scarves, sweaters, etc. Similarly, don't forget to use the back of your closet; mine holds bigger items that I use less frequently, such as my suitcase and deflated air mattress. With hooks or a pocket organizer, the inside of the door is also the perfect place to store scarves, belts, or shoes.
Give clothes breathing room. When you're configuring, your closet shouldn't become too much like Tetris (or worse, Jenga). You still need to have space to move hangers and see what's in there. Evaluate what you don't wear (see Abby's tip above), and sell or donate it. Also potentially helpful is re-thinking how you divide clothes between dresser and closet; see Martha Stewart Living's tips here.
Add personality. Even if your clothes closet can't magically become a luxurious dressing room, it doesn't have to be dull. Try hangers in your favorite color instead of white (check The Container Store), add liners to your shelves, or, for a slightly bigger project, paint the walls. I didn't even use a full quart to redo mine in petrol blue, but the color alone makes me happy to open the closet door.

I just built a walk in closet but I haven't figured out a good lighting strategy - it's hard to get spot and ambient light to work right in a confined space. My closet ceiling is only 6'4" so I was thinking bulbs that aren't too hot and I despise flourescent light, so I'm leaning toward LED.
Any suggestions generally?
Ugh, my closet is a train wreck, I need to do ALL of these things! But first I need to make it so I can actually reach what is hanging, haha!
I have a dark walk in closet. I think I've got it organized pretty well. However the lighting in there is horrible. It's got one of those off-centered pull on and off light "fixtures" (it's really just a light bulb). I've been wanting to replace it with a nice chandelier but don't really feel like going through the whole thing of making holes (to center it and to add a switch) and what not... any suggestions?
Easyenough and G&K - hire an electrician and add lighting. It's not an expensive proposition - a couple hundred dollars in labor plus whatever fixture you pick. It is life changing - I'm not kidding - sucn a nice way to start the day being able to see your closet!
(My husband is handy - it took him 1.5 hours to put a real light and switch in my closet....that would be about $150 if we used our go to professional electrician.)
Good luck --- and go for it!
inspiring. but seeing those poor pointy toes all squished and distorted in the last pic makes me a little sad.
I would only use LED under an upper shelf to highlight your hanging clothes (similar to undercabinet lighting) You will still need some sort of ambient lighting though. I would use a single incandescent source in with a diffuser in addition.
From this post I conclude that colour coordinating is really key for a closet to look neat. I usually organize by type of clothing but I think I will try a new approach.
wow that is a LOT OF CLOTHES! *drool*
The only thing I hang in my closet is dresses... like... four of them. The rest is stuffed with jackets my S.O. doesn't even wear. Not like I can do anything about that.
We also have our guitars shoved in there, and a convection oven my parents gave us for some reason even though it's HUGE and I'll probably never use it. :(
Though this has reminded me to install a shelf up top sometime. thanks.
@Ban Clothing
I recently started colour coding my closet. I initially thought it wouldn't be as organised (just aesthetically pleasing) but I've found it's a lot easier to figure out what I want to wear, because I tend to think of clothing in terms of colours, not types (i.e. I'm wearing black pants, so I feel a red top, but I don't care if it's a sweater or a shirt...)
hmm--most of the closets in these photos are far from tiny.
If you're short on closet space, don't arrange your clothes by color! Arrange them by length (from the hanger). Put shorter items together on one side so you can fit a shoe rack or a small set of storage drawers underneath them.
Where can I buy that jewelry box organizer on stand legs as shown on photo #4.. anyone know?
I am in the process of organizing my closet. I feel like no matter how much stuff I get rid of, it will never look as good as these gorgeous ones. But I'm workin on it!!
i've seen similar ones at cost plus. also if you're of the DIY type, there's this:
Thanks @cravethemind.. this is a perfect lead
@melissaodesign - I think I've seen something like that at ikea (all white though).
Organizing by colors works very well for me too. Hanging all/most of your clothes not only makes them easier to find, it limits your shopping to only how many hangers your closet can hold.
Organizing by color is really interesting! I'l try that when we move into our next house.
But one thing I'll never ever do: put shoes in the clothes closet.
does any one recognize the wall paper?
it is great.
It would be nice to see examples of small well-organized closets.
I agree that organizing by length is key in smaller closets. This way storage boxes or stackable drawers can be used underneath. Those things, and hanging sweater organizers save my sanity.
Ahh, there's nothing like an organized closet.
I don't really have an option to unify all my hangers at the moment since I'm in school and the space saving felt hangers I like are not cheap, so I have a variety of white,black, and some colored hangers (four or five all different), as well as some of those space saving ones. By color coordinating my clothes, I can also color coordinate my hangers, white for light colors, black for dark, and blue with blue, yellow with yellow, etc. Then I just use the space saving ones to fill in. Even with my mismatched hangers, my closet still looks nice and I smile when I see it.
I also, because I like hanging my cardigans, double use my hangers; I'll hang a cardigan on the same hanger as a sleeveless blouse or dress. It saves me about five or six hangers and space.
I'm moving from an apartment with a huge walk in closet to a townhouse with a really small closet.
I'm going to have to downsize a lot or possibly invest in a nicer shelving system.

Summer Program News
May 23, 2014
You will notice a new 'feel' to our Summer Program. We have revamped our plan and now have a science focus. Our Summer Program will still be chock full of those typical MMS version of camp experiences- swimming, sweating outdoors, playing with water tables, bubbles etc. What will be new is that all of the 'lessons' will be oriented towards scientific inquiry. Science learning is a huge topic and you can see how we've specified which aspects of science that we will focus on, on the website. Our program will ensure many hands on experiments, lots of work outdoors and an increase in what your child understands about the working of the planet.
In order to ensure a cohesive plan, I am working with a science educator, writing curriculum and a specific plan for each day's work. We will connect songs, books and games to reinforce scientific concepts. Our trips will now all be science related, which includes contact with animals (in a very supervised format), plants and scientific museum exhibits.
We have decided to launch our Summer Program in this new direction to engage young children with a better understanding of how the planet earth works, what it needs to be healthy and how all the systems on earth can work together for a healthy planet. It's also a great excuse to spend more time with dirt, trees and
Science is eternally fascinating to children and we want a Summer at MMS to expand thinking as well as joy!
Come check us out!

Alive and well and living in Blaine
By Jack Kintner
Blaine Open Studio held its inaugural celebration on Friday,
July 13, as an estimated 600 enthusiastic art lovers jammed
the new studio on Martin Street for an artists reception,
complete with live music. Forty-six exhibitors showed 225
paintings and drew people from as far away as Calgary, Alberta,
and southern Oregon.
It was a good, good party, said Delores Jordan, a prime mover in the effort to create a working space for local artists. We were especially pleased at the number of children who were there, asking about classes and wanting to get involved, adding that involving children is a primary focus of the Open Gallery.
To put together this remarkable evening takes courage, hope and a lot of hard work, all provided by Jordan and studio director Joanne Murphy. The two were quick to point out the contribution of those volunteers marshalled from among their family and friends. Throughout the warm evening the appreciative crowd circulated through the packed and noisy gallery, spilling out the front door and onto the sidewalk, chatting and listening to music provided by a quartet consisting of Roger Quiggle, piano, Kemper Righter, bass, Chuck Stanford, drums, and Weldon Richardson, flugelhorn.
The term, open studio, means that its intended to be a work space for anyone who needs it, and all that one must do to exhibit up to five pieces is to join the center, now open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m until 5 p.m. When artists work together they teach and encourage each other. It takes a lot of courage to paint something on a blank piece of paper and hang it on the wall, Jordan said.
The studio is a project of the Drayton Harbor Art Center, which also sponsors weekly art classes on Mondays at the Unitarian Church.
The studio is located at 808 Martin Street in several connecting rooms on the ground floor of the Blaine Trade Center, and has been provided at no charge by the Kenneth L. Kellar Foundation. The ground-floor deli, opened for refreshments, was always full and bustling that evening, said Jordan. We lost track of the actual number who attended, but we went through five cases of wine.
Toward the end of the evening a Joe Mosher painting, Hurricane Alert was presented in recognition of Kellars on-going support of the Open Studio. His executive assistant Linda Summers accepted on his behalf.
Future events sponsored by the Drayton Harbor Arts Center include five-day cruises on Nick Bartletts Tahoma with artist and art teacher Alan Wylie. For more information contact Murphy at 332-8208 or Jordan at 332-7074. .

Comments about Yo Mummy Adult Womens Costume:
this was a really cute, fun costume that i got lots of compliments on. i'd recommend for purchase, however the only thing to note is that the stockings did not stay up after awhile. they did when i first put them on, but once i started moving around they dropped. i wore it two nights, so the second night i ended up wearing nude stockings and pinned up the mummy stockings, although i guess double sided tape would work as well.

Great product. I keep wearing them out and buy more.
I have two other pairs of these jeans and I like them for winter wear. I wish they weren't on a 5 month back order. Not a big deal since I won't need them until fall. If they aren't available, perhaps they shouldn't be in the catalog?
great fit great price
Very comfortable and warm. Perfect for the Pacific Northwest. Will definitely be getting a few more of these.
Good material. Warm. Sized Right. Couple bad stitches on the inseam.
My son wanted these flannel-lined jeans because he works in a cold environment. He said they were so comfortable and made such a difference, he wore them every day. So I bought him a second pair! He felt the were a bit short in the torso, but okay after being "broken in."

Star-studded 'Great Gatsby' soundtrack details announced
Today writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann reminded anybody with internet connection of his unique skill at taking old texts and modernizing them in cinematic majesty. As a new trailer for "The Great Gatsby" hit YouTube, it revealed a colorful, lush and melodramatic universe not too far from the ones he showed us in "Romeo + Juliet" and "Moulin Rouge!" One interesting difference between the upcoming "Gatsby" production and Luhrmann's earlier works is his collaborator Jay-Z, who supervised the elite soundtrack, the lineup of which was also revealed today.
In an attempt to update the sound of Fitzgerald's story, Jay-Z and executive music consultant Jeymes Samuel (aka Bullitts) have assembled a cast of some of music's biggest names in an attempt to create the modern day equivalent of the Jazz Age.
As director Baz Luhrman notes, "F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel is peppered with contemporary music references specific to the story's setting of 1922. While we acknowledge, as Fitzgerald phrased it, 'the Jazz Age,' and this is the period represented on screen, we—our audience—are living in the 'hip-hop age' and want our viewers to feel the impact of modern-day music the way Fitzgerald did for the readers of his novel at the time of its publication."
That being said, Jay-Z and company do not disappoint. Available on Interscope Records on May 4, the album includes a collaborations between Andre 3000 and Beyonce, Fergie and Q-Tip, as well as tracks by Jack White, will,i,am and Jay-Z, himself.
The full track listing is as follows:
1. 100$ Bill – JAY Z
2. Back To Black – Beyoncé x André 3000
3. Bang Bang – will.i.am
4. A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) – Fergie + Q Tip + GoonRock
5. Young And Beautiful – Lana Del Rey
6. Love Is The Drug – Bryan Ferry with The Bryan Ferry Orchestra
7. Over The Love – Florence + The Machine
8. Where The Wind Blows – Coco O. of Quadron
9. Crazy in Love – Emeli Sandé and The Bryan Ferry Orchestra
10. Together – The xx
11. Hearts A Mess – Gotye
12. Love Is Blindness – Jack White
13. Into the Past – Nero
14. Kill and Run – Sia
