I have been asked to do a simple 2-3 tier wedding cake with a touch of gold for a 50th wedding anniversary. For starters...I have never done a tier wedding cake...WC 3 final project actually due tonight...see how that goes. Any ideas on how to decorate...looked at the anniversary photo gallery, but nothing jumped out at me. How would I do maybe roses with golden edges? Any advice? Greatly appreciated. If you have pictures to send/attach...that would be awesome!

EL-ARISH, Egypt — Security officials say two American tourists who had been kidnapped by Bedouins in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula have been released.
They say the Bedouins snatched the two men early Thursday as they were traveling by car from Dahab to Nuweiba, resort towns on the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba. The officials say the two were freed after hours of negotiations between the Bedouins and representatives of the local police and government.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
Sinai has seen a series of kidnappings as Bedouins try to pressure authorities to release detained relatives or improve basic services, but the kidnap victims are usually released unharmed.

Internet Villain face-off: Spy queen Theresa May v Twit-hate Turkish PM
And so to Piccadilly, London, where the great, the good and the downright drunk and rowdy gathered for the 15th Internet Service Providers' Association awards - which this year saw the title of Internet Villain handed to Mr Censorship AKA Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Erdogan. But Britain's Home Secretary Theresa May - whose …
"Could rise again?"
Will rise again. IIRC only David Davis had the IT background to know this was BS. The next
sock puppet Right Honorable Home Secretary will regurgitate what the senior spookocrats and data fetishests tell them about "maintaining capability" and "diverse threats"
Note that even if a study by some outfit they trusted proved that searching for more terrorists by studying the comms pattern of known terrorists did not work this would still not stop the desire.
Remember catching terrorists is not the goal of this legislation.
Social control is.
Re: "Could rise again?"
Davis does have an IT background - by degree. As importantly he has a proper libertarian nose for interference - be that state or private sector. I don't agree with some of his other stands, but he is consistent on this and not beholden to the powers that befuddle minor politicians such as Cameron and May.
Blaming the interwebs for society's ills and spills
Ah, Turkey!
hang on, isn't it what our own, British-born and bred politicians did during and after riots in London, two years ago?
Re: Blaming the interwebs for society's ills and spills
Er, no...
In Turkey, politicians didn't like the truth coming out, and so called it "lies". During the riots, social networks were demonstrably being used to encourage and organise riots. The politicians simply said so. What else were they supposed to say? Not the same thing.
Ranty simplistic student politics might not sound so clever if your home had been invaded or your business destroyed.
I'm not calling for censorship or closing down networks - things are never so simple - and those same networks helped in the tidy-up. I'm just saying that what happened in Turkey and what happened in the UK are not the same thing, and try to imagine what it would be like reading your cheap point scoring if you were a victim.
Post action legalization
"Clegg eventually (and almost certainly temporarily) silenced the Home Sec by rejecting her plans to push through legislation to massively ramp up surveillance of UK citizens' internet activity."
Except he didn't, they did it anyway in secret. Theresa May's bill simply legalizes something they've done illegally for 18 months and continue to do in secret, illegally, and for a foreign power.
As to who should win the ISP villain award, that would be every ISP that cooperated with mass surveillance. They should award it to themselves.
Although a LibDem, not a bad specimen of same - let down by the Orange Bookers in his party. He at least is technically literate - and better understands enough tp realise when it's worth while talking to others. He has been consistent, even if he has not fouled his liff up in quite as spectacular a way as Snowden. Let's face it these awards are all about a free dinner for the ISPs Soc to get legless.
And so... we inexorably creep closer and closer to it...

Everything here is great for gf and the staff is very knowledgable. The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because they do charge you $1.50 extra for gf toast, which is kind of annoying.
The Ugly Omelette is a fabulous place for a GF person to eat at. I told my server my needs and didn't realize that one thing I ordered had gluten. She let me know and immediately offered me an alternate side. Quick and easy. No one made me feel "special". :)
Super friendly and knowledgable, We actually had many choices on the menu. They cooked our food seperatly and care about the quality of their GF food options. Looking forward to going back. Our best restauant experience since being diagnosed with celiac.
New location allows them to cook homefries separate from others! Great breakfast place

This has not yet been authenticated but the National Enquirer must be pretty confident about this story on John Edwards and his alleged "lovechild." After all, Edwards is a trial lawyer.
It will be surprising if the mainstream press doesn't pick up on this story soon. And Democratic Party convention planners are probably already planning on downgrading Edwards' role at that affair.

First Settlements of Washington State
Posted By Dennis On In Washington | No Comments
Doctor John McLoughlin, autocrat of Fort Vancouver, at the instigation of the London managers of the Hudson's Bay Company, but contrary to his own judgment, exercised his influence to induce the incoming citizens of the United States not to locate themselves north of the Columbia River, as in the partition presently to be made all that region would probably be British territory. To the average American emigrant of that day the simple fact that a Britisher should wish him not to settle in any certain part of the undivided territory was of itself sufficient incentive for him to select that spot, provided it was not much worse than any other. There must be some special attraction in the direction of Puget Sound, else the fur company would not so strongly advise people not to go there.
So thought Michael T. Simmons, a stanch. Kentuckian, whom the reader has met before, history of Oregon, he being of the immigration 1844, and spending the ensuing winter with family at Fort Vancouver, where he made shingles to pay expenses, his wife meanwhile improving the time by giving birth to a son, named Christopher, the American born in western Washington.
Simmons was a fine specimen of a man, and representative of the class that went into Washington about this time, determined to remain there, particularly if England's majesty ordered them out. Just past thirty, having been born at Sheppar the 5th of August, 1814, possessing the grand physique of the early men of Kentucky, unlettered though not unenlightened, he possessed the qualities which in feudal times made men chiefs and founders of families. His courage was equaled only by his independence; he could not comprehend the idea of a superior, having come from a land wherein all kings though they ruled only a pigsty or a potato patch.
He had intended to settle in the valley of Rogue River before so much had been said against his going north, but this determined him. During the winter of 1844-5, with five companions,[1] he proceeded northward, but only reached the fork of the Cowlitz whence he returned to Fort Vancouver. Again he set out the following July with eight others[2] and guided beyond Cowlitz prairie by Peter Borcier, who had performed the same service for Wilkes in 1841, he not only reached the Sound, but made a voyage as far as Whidbey Island, satisfying himself of the commercial advantages of this region. Then he made his selection at the head of Budd inlet where Des Chutes River drops by successive falls a distance of eighty feet, constituting a fine mill-power. The place had the further advantage of being at no great distance from Fort Nisqually, the only supply post in this part of the territory, with the French settlements to the south of it on the Cowlitz prairie constituting a link with the Columbia River and Willamette settlements. The selection for the purposes of a new community in a new country was a good one, and was prompted by a desire somewhat similar to that of the Methodist missionaries to get possession of Oregon City, on account of the waterpower.
Having chosen his site, he returned to the Columbia to remove his family, which he did in October, accompanied by James McAllister, David Kindred, Gabriel Jones, George W. Bush, and their wives and children, five families in all, and two single men, Jesse Ferguson and Samuel B. Crockett, these seven men being the first Americans[3] to settle in the region of Puget Sound,[4] although John R. Jackson, of the same immigration, had been a little beforehand with them in point of time, and selected a claim five miles north of the French settlements, and ten miles beyond the Cowlitz landing, on a small tributary of that river, near the trail to the Chehalis,[5] which site he called Highlands, and where he had already erected a house.[6]
It required fifteen days to open a road for the passage of the ox-teams from Cowlitz landing to Inlet, a distance of less than sixty miles. Simmons named his place New Market, but subsequent settlers called it by the Indian, and more appropriate, name Tumwater,[7] which it keeps, and which to avoid confusion I shall hereafter use.
The seven Puget Sound settlers took their claims within a radius of six miles, Kindred two miles south of Tumwater, McAllister about six miles northeast and the others intermediate, on a sandy plain mow known as Bush prairie, from George W. Bush.[8] the same summer or autumn George Waunch located himself on the Skookum Chuck, making the ninth man not in the Hudson's Bay Company's service settled north of the Cowlitz farm in 1845.
The first house was built on Kindred's claim, a west edge of Bush prairie,[9] Simmons building at Tumwater the following summer. These men had enough to do to discharge their debts to the Hudson's Bay Company. McLoughlin and Douglas, who, notwithstanding their efforts to turn the American settlers south of the Columbia, seeing they would go north, gave the officers of the company on Cowlitz prairie and at Fort Nisqually orders to furnish Simmons' company with 200 bushels of wheat at eighty cents a bushel, 100 bushels of pease at one dollar, 300 bushels of potatoes at fifty cents, and a dozen head of cattle at twelve dollars each.[10] During the winter they were visited by a party of four men, who proceeded as far as Nisqually, but did not remain in this region.[11] In March Mrs McAllister[12] gave birth to a son, who was named James Benton, the first American born on Puget Sound.
In the following year as many American men settled north of the Cowlitz and about the head of the Sound as in 1845, but not as many families. At the confluence of the Skookum Chuck and the Chehalis, halfway from the Cowlitz landing to Tumwater, two claims were made by Sidney S. Ford[13] and Joseph Barst. Those who went to the Sound were Charles H. Eaton,[14] and his brother Nathan, who located himself on the east side of Budd Inlet, on what is now called Chambers prairie, being the first to take claim north of Tumwater; Edmund Sylvester,[15] Oregon City, who, in partnership with Levi L. Smith, took two half-sections of land, one directly on Budd Inlet, two miles below Tumwater, and the other on the edge of Chambers prairie; Alonzo Marion Poe, Daniel D. Kinsey, and Antonio B. Rabbeson.[16] Several other persons arrived at the Sound during the autumn, but did not remain at that time.[17]
In January 1847 three brothers from Marion County named Davis, one with a family, arrived at Tumwater, besides Samuel Cool, A. J. Moore, Benjamin Gordon, Leander C. Wallace, Thomas W. Glasgow, and Samuel Hancock.[18] In March there arrived Elisha and William Packwood, with their families. The first settled on land later owned by David J. Chambers. Packwood abandoned it in August to return to the Willamette. William Packwood took a claim on the south bank of the Nisqually, and there remined.[19] During the summer John Kindred, J. B. Logan, B. F. Shaw, Robert Logan, and A. D. Carnefix joined the settlement at the head of the Sound, and on the 10th of June the Skookum Chuck settlement was re-enforced by the birth of Angeline Ford,P[20] the first American girl born north of the Columbia. Late in the autumn there arrived at the Sound Thorn Chambers, with his sons, David, Andrew, Thomas J. and McLean, two of whom had families,[21] and George Brail and George Shazar.
From Nisqually the settlers obtained pork, wheat, pease, potatoes, and such other needful articles as the company's stores furnished. In 1846 Simmons put up a small flouring mill at Des Chutes falls, in a log house, with a set of stones hewn out of some granite blocks found on the beach, which was ready to grind the first crop of wheat, if not to bolt it; but unbolted flour was a luxury after boiled wheat.
Late the following year a sawmill was completed at Tumwater, built by M. T. Simmons, B. F. Shaw, E. Sylvester, Jesse Ferguson, A. B. Rabbeson, Gabriel Jones, A. D. Carnefix, and John R. Kindred, who formed the Puget Sound Milling Company, October 25, 1847, Simmons holding the principal number of shares, and being elected superintendent. The mill irons, which had been in use at Fort Vancouver, were obtained from the Hudson's Bay Company. The lumber found a market among the settlers, but chiefly at Nisqually, where it was sent in rafts, and also a little later was in requisition to erect barracks and officers' quarters at Steilacoom.[22] Shingle-making was also an important industry, shingles passing current at Fort Nisqually in exchange for clothing or other articles. Room for idlers there was none, and this was fortunate, since indolence in contact with savagery soon breeds vice, aggravated by enforced solitude.
Daniel D. Kinsey was the first lucky bachelor to secure a mate in these wilds, by marrying, on the 6th of July, 1847, Ruth Brock, M. T. Simmons, one of the judges of Vancouver County, officiating. Samuel Hancock and A. B. Rabbeson were the first to vary shingle-making with brick-making, these two taking a contract to burn a kiln of brick in July 1847, on the farm of Simon Plomondon at the Cowlitz. And thus they not only held their own in the new country, but increased in property and power,
As early as the summer of this second year they had begun to recognize the necessity of communication between points, and in August blazed out a trail from Tumwater to the claim of Sylvester and Smith, two miles below on the Sound, which now began to be called Smithfield, because Levi L. Smith resided there, and because it came to be the head of navigation by the law of the tides.
In the autumn of 1847, rendered memorable by the massacre at Waiilatpu, which alarmed these feeble settlements, and by the prevalence of measles among the Indians, for which the white people knew themselves held responsible by the miserable victims and their friends, there were few additions to the population. Jonathan Burbee, an immigrant of that year took to himself some land on the little Kalama River; Peter W. Crawford, E. West, and James O. Raynor located claims on the Cowlitz near its mouth, being the first settlers in this vicinity,[23] and Andrew J. Simmons took a claim on Cowlitz prairie, where he died February 1872.[24]
Nor were there many accessions to the population of the Sound in 1848. Rev. Pascal Ricard, oblate father, established a mission three miles below Tumwater, June 14th, on the eastern shore of the inlet, and thereby secured half a section of land to the church. Thomas W. Glasgow made a tour of exploration down the Sound, and took a claim on Whidbey Island, the first settlement attempted there, and situated northeast from the Port Townsend of Vancouver, directly facing the strait of Fuca. Here he erected a cabin and planted potatoes and wheat, loneliness seems to have been alleviated during his brief residence, a half-caste daughter testifying to the favor with which he was regarded by some native brunette;[25] yet he returned to Tumwater to secure other companions, and persuaded Rabbeson and Carnefix to accompany him back to his island home.
On the voyage, performed in a canoe, they proceeded to the head of Case Inlet, and carrying their canoe across the portage to the head of Hood canal, explored that remarkable passage. Carnefix turned back from the mouth of the Skokomish River,[26] Glasgow and Rabbeson continuing on to Whidbey Island, which they reached in July. But they were not permitted to remain. Soon after their arrival a general council of the tribes of the Sound was held on the island, at the instigation of Patkanim, chief of the Snoqualimichs, to confer upon the policy of permitting American settlements in their country. It was decided that Glasgow must quit the island, which he was at length forced to do,[27] escaping by the aid of an Indian from the vicinity of Tumwater.
Glasgow seems to have taken a claim subsequently in Pierce County, and to have finally left territory.[28]
During this summer Hancock took a claim on the west side of Budd Inlet, and built a wharf and warehouse; but having subsequently engaged in several commercial ventures involving loss, he settled in 1852 on Whidbey Island, Patkanim having in the mean time failed in his design of exterminating the American settlers. Rabbeson, glad to be well away from the neighborhood of the Snoqualimich chief, went with Ferguson to work in the wheat fields of the Cowlitz farm, now in charge of George B. Roberts, where they taught the Frenchmen to save grain by cradling, after which the new method was high in favor and the cradling party in demand.
All at once this wholesome plodding was interrupted by the news of the gold discovery in California, and every man who could do so set off at once for the gold-fields. They made flat-boats and floated their loaded wagons down the Cowlitz River to where the old Hudson's Bay Company's trail left it, drove their ox-teams to the Columbia River opposite St. Helen, and again taking the trail from the old McKay farm, which the Lees had travelled in 1834, emerged on the Tualatin plains, keeping on the west side of the Willamette to the head of the valley. They here came into the southern immigrant road which they followed to its junction with the Lassen trail to the Sacramento Valley, where they arrived late in the autumn, having performed this remarkable journey without accident.[29]
The rush to the mines had the same temporary effect upon the improvement of the country north of the Columbia that I have noticed in my account of the gold excitement in the Willamette Valley. Farming, building, and all other industries were suspended, while for about two years the working population of the country were absent in search of gold. This interruption to the steady and healthy growth which had begun has been much lamented by some writers,[30] with what justice I am unable to perceive; because although the country stood still in respect to agriculture and the ordinary pursuits of a new and small population, this loss was more than made up by the commercial prosperity which the rapid settlement of the Pacific coast bestowed upon the whole of the Oregon territory, and especially upon Puget Sound, which without the excitement of the gold discovery must have been twenty years in gaining the milling and other improvements it now gained in three.
In the mean time, and before these results became apparent, the settlements on the Sound were threatened with a more serious check by the Snoqualimichs, who about the first of May attacked Fort Nisqually with the intention of taking it, and if they had succeeded in this, Patkanim's plans for the extermination of the white people would have been carried out. In this affair Leander C. Wallace was killed, and two other Americans, Walker and Lewis, wounded, the latter surviving but a short time. For this crime Quallawort, a brother of Patkanim, and Kassass, another Snoqualimich chief, suffered death by hanging, as related in a previous volume.[31] This was a somewhat different termination from that anticipated. Patkanim, even after the Snoqualimichs were repulsed, sent word to the American settlers that they would be permitted to quit the country by leaving their property. To this they answered that they had come to stay, and immediately erected block houses at Tumwater and Skookum Chuck. This decided movement, with the friendship of the Indians on the upper part of the Sound, and the prompt measures of Governor Lane, who arrived March 2d at Oregon City, followed by the establishment of Fort Steilacoom about the middle of July, crushed an incipient Indian war.[32]
The outbreak did not seriously interrupt the dawning fortunes of the settlers, who were scrupulously careful to prevent any difficulties with the natives by a custom of uniform prices for labor and goods, and go perfect equity in dealing with them.[33]
Owing to the California exodus, the year 1849 was remarkable only for its dearth of immigration. But by the end of the year most of the gold hunters were back on their claims, somewhat richer than before in the product of the mines. Early in January 1850 there arrived the first American merchant vessel to visit the Sound since its settlement. This was the brig Orbit, William H. Dunham master, from Calais, Maine. She had brought a company of adventurers to California, who having no further use for her, sold her for a few thousand dollars to four men, who thought this a good investment, and a means of getting to Puget Sound. Their names were I. N. Ebey, B. F. Shaw, Edmund Sylvester, and one Jackson. There came as passenger also Charles Hart Smith, a young man from Maine and a friend of Captain Dunham. M. T. Simmons, who had not gone to the mines, had sold, in the autumn of 1849, his land claim at Tumwater, with the mills, to Crosby[34] and Gray, formerly of Portland, for thirty-five thousand dollars. With a portion of this money he purchased a controlling interest in the Orbit, and taking C. H. Smith as partner, sent the brig back to San Francisco with a cargo of piles, with Smith as supercargo, to dispose of them and purchase a stock of general merchandise. The vessel returned in July, and the goods were opened at Smithfield, which by the death of Smith[35] had come to be the sole property of Sylvester, and was now called Olympia, at the suggestion of I. N. Ebey.[36] Sylvester's claim on the prairie was abandoned when he took possession of the claim on the Sound,[37] and was taken by Captain Dunham of the Orbit, who was killed by being thrown from his horse[38] July 4, 1851, the government reserving the land for his heirs, who long after took possession.
In order to give his town a start, Sylvester offered to give Simmons two lots for business purposes, which were accepted; and a house of rough boards, two stories high-its ground dimensions twenty feet front by forty in depth-was erected at the corner of First and Main streets, and the cargo of the Orbit displayed for sale,[39] Smith acting as clerk. The firm had a profitable trade, as we may well believe when cooking-stoves without furniture sold for eighty dollars[40] American commerce was thus begun with a population of not more than one hundred citizens of the United States in the region immediately about Puget Sound.[41] Three of the crew of the British ship Albion settled in the region of Steilacoom; namely, William Bolton, Frederick Rabjohn, and William Elders. If it is true, as I have shown in a previous volume,[42] that the Americans, as soon as they were armed with the power by congress, exhibited a most unfriendly exclusiveness toward the British company which had fostered them in its way, it is easy to perceive that they were actuated partly by a feeling of revenge, and a desire for retaliation for having been compelled to show the rents in their breeches as a reason for requiring a new pair,[43] and to account for the rents besides, to prove that the Indian trade had not been interfered with. Now these irrepressible Americans were bringing their own goods by the shipload, and peddling them about the Sound in canoes under the noses of the company. It was certainly an unequal contest when legal impediment was removed.
In the Orbit came John M. Swan,[44] who in 1850 settled on a claim immediately east of Olympia, which became Swantown. Another passenger was Henry Murray, who took a claim east of Steilacoom. In July Lafayette Balch, owner of the brig George Emory, arrived at Olympia with a cargo of goods, which he unloaded at that place; but finding he could not get such terms as he desired from the owner of the town lots, he put his vessel about and went down the Sound, establishing the town of Port Steilacoom, putting up a large business house, the frame of which he brought from San Francisco, and to which he removed the goods left at Olympia to be sold by Henry C. Wilson,[45] who appears to have arrived with Balch, and who settled on the west shore of Port Townsend on the 15th of August. On the 15th of October I. N. Ebey took up the claim from which Glasgow had been ejected by the Indians on the west side of Whidbey Island, about a mile south of Penn Cove. R. H. Lansdale about the same time took a claim at the head of Penn Cove, where the town of Coveland was ultimately laid out. In November the George Emory, which had made a voyage to San Francisco, brought up as passengers half a dozen men who intended getting out a cargo of piles for that market, and who landed five miles north of Steilacoom. One of their number, William B. Wilton, selecting a claim, built a cabin, and the adventurers went to work with a will to make their fortunes. Their only neighbor was William Bolton, who could not have been very well supplied with the requirements for a life in the woods, as they were unable to obtain oxen to drag the fallen timber to the water's edge, and in April 1851 abandoned their enterprise, after disposing of as much of the timber they had felled as could be loaded on a vessel without the aid of oxen. Two of their number, Charles C. Bachelder and A. A. Plummer,[46] then went to Port Townsend, and took claims on Point Hudson, about a mile northwest of Wilson, where they were joined in November by L. B. Hastings and F. W. Pettygrove, formerly of Oregon City and Portland, who had ruined himself by speculating in property at Benicia, California. In February, J. G. Clinger[47] and Pettygrove and Hastings took claims adjoining those of Bachelder and Plummer on the north and west, and soon these four agreed to lay out a town, and to devote a third of each of their claims to town-site purposes-a fair division, considering the relative size and location of the Bachelder and Plummer, being unmarried, could take no more than a quarter-section under the Oregon land law, which granted but 160 acres as a donation when such claim was taken after the 1st of December 1850, or by a person who was not a resident of Oregon previous to that time. Pettygrove and Hastings,[48] having both emigrated to the territory previous to 1850, and being married, were entitled to take a whole section, but their land, being less favorably situated for a town site, was worth less to the company; hence the terms of the agreement.
The new town was named after the bay upon which it was situated, Port Townsend, and the owners constituted a firm for the prosecution of trade.[49]
As timber was the chief marketable product of the country, and as Hastings and Pettygrove were owners of three yokes of oxen, the company at once set to work cutting piles and squaring timbers; at which labor they continued for about two years, loading several vessels,[50] and carrying on a general merchandise business besides.[51]
In May 1852 Albert Briggs settled a mile and a half south from Port Townsend,[52] and in September came Thomas M. Hammond, who took a narrow strip of land west of the claims of Hastings and Wilson, and which, coming down to the bay, adjoined Briggs on the north.[53] The names of all the donation land claimants about Port Townsend are here mentioned in my account of its settlements.
In the latter part of August 1851, in the van of the immigration, arrived at Portland John N. Low and C. C. Terry. In September they took their cattle and whatever live-stock they possessed down the Columbia, and by the Hudson's Bay Company's trail to the valley of the Chehalis, where they were left, while Low[54] and Terry proceeded to the Sound to explore for a town site, fixing at last upon Alki Point, on the west side of Elliott Bay, where a claim was taken about the 25th, and a house partially constructed of logs. They found that others were preparing to settle in the vicinity, and were encouraged. John C. Holgate, a young man and an immigrant of 1847, who had served in the Cayuse war, had visited the east side of Elliott Bay in 1850, selecting a claim for himself.[55]
Previous to the arrival of Low and Terry at Alki Point, Luther M. Collins took a claim in the valley of the Dwamish or White River,[56] and before they returned to Portland, Collins, Henry Van Assalt, and Jacob and Samuel Maple arrived and settled upon the Dwamish, where they had previously taken clairns.[57]
Leaving their house half built, the settlers at Alki Point returned to Portland, where Low had left his wife and four children. Here they found Arthur A. Denny, also from Illinois, although born in Indiana, with a wife and two children; William N. Bell, a native of Illinois, with a wife and two children; and C. D. Boreal, with a wife and child; besides David T. Denny, unmarried-who were willing to accept their statement that they had discovered the choicest spot for a great city to be found in the northwest.
On the 5th of November this company took passage on the schooner Exact, Captain Folger, which had been chartered to carry a party of gold-hunters to Queen Charlotte Island, and Low's party with a few others to Puget Sound. The Alki Point settlers arrived at their destination on the 13th, and were disembarked at low tide, spending the dull November afternoon in carrying their goods by hand out of the reach of high water, assisted by the women and children. "And then," says Bell, artlessly, in an autograph letter, "the women sat down and cried."[58] Poor women! Is it any wonder? Think of it: the long journey overland, the wearisome detention in Portland, the sea-voyage in the little schooner, and all to be set down on the beach of this lonely inland sea, at the beginning of a long winter, without a shelter from the never-ceasing rains for themselves or their babes. It did not make it any easier that nobody was to blame, and that in this way only could their husbands take their choice of the government's bounty to them. It was hard, but it is good to know that they survived it, and that a house was erected during the winter that was in a measure comfortable.[59]
Low and Terry laid out a town at Alki Point, calling it New York, and offering lots to those members of the company who would remain and build upon them. But the Indians in the vicinity had given information during the winter concerning a pass in the Cascade Range which induced the majority to remove in the spring of 1852 to the east side of the bay, where they founded a town of their own, which they called Seattle, after a chief of the Dwamish tribe residing in the vicinity, who stood high in the estimation of the American settlers.[60]
D. T. Denny, W. N. Bell, A. A. Denny, and C. D. Boren took claims in the order mentioned on the east shore, D. T. Denny's being farthest north, and Boren's adjoining on the south a claim made at the same time by D. S. Maynard from Olympia, who in turn adjoined Holgate, and who kept the first trading- house in the town. Seattle was laid off upon the water front from about the middle of Maynard's claim, a larger one than either of the others,[61] and on which the first house was built, to the north line of Bell's claim. Then in the autumn came Henry L. Yesler, who was looking for a mill site, and who was admitted to the water front by a re-arrangement of the contiguous boundaries of Boren and Maynard.[62]
Before proceeding to these decisive measures, the town-site company made a careful hydrographic survey of the bay, Bell and Boren paddling the canoe while Denny took the soundings. On the 23d of May, 1853, the town plat was filed for record,[63] Bell keeping, his claim separate, from which it was long called Belltown. Being really well situated, and midway between Port Townsend and Olympia, it rewarded its founders by a steady growth and by becoming the county seat of King County. Its population in 1855 was about three hundred.
The embryo city of New York never advanced beyond a chrysalid condition; but after having achieved a steam sawmill, a public house, and two or three stores, and after having changed its name to Alki, an Indian word signifying in the future, or by and by, which was both name and motto, it gave way to its more fortunate rival. It had a better landing than Seattle at that time, but a harbor that was exposed to the winds, where vessels were sometimes blown ashore, and was otherwise inferior in position.[64] Terry, at the end of two years, removed to Seattle, where he died in 1867.[65] Low went to California and the east, but finally returned to Puget Sound and settled in Seattle.

NOTE: This piece first appeared on Washington Technology, in response to WT Editor-in-Chief Nick Wakeman's column on the possibilities of gamification.
I continue to find the idea of procurement as a game compelling—that is, where the government uses gaming to throw various scenarios at bidders to test their solutions and then pick the best one. Source selection and negotiations are an adrenaline rush to those of us who burn with the acquisition passion.
However, while the idea is compelling, I would instead advocate that acquisition gaming be used as a strategy for developing critical thinking in the acquisition workforce rather than in the "live" acquisition process.
We've been working on this for the last couple of years, and the acquisition leaders I talk with are concerned that their workforce is not given the opportunity to develop their critical thinking skills until they are thrust into the "big game," complete with referees and a full stadium of spectators but without sufficient critical thinking plays in the certification playbook, or the opportunity to practice them.
Why does critical thinking matter in our acquisition workforce?
Our acquisition workforce faces a multitude of challenges, including complex requirements with tight schedules, growing workloads at middle management levels, less bandwidth to mentor and be mentored, accelerated career paths, increased litigation and protests due to a tightening market, increased transparency and oversight, and massive amounts of information.
Federal Acquisition Regulation 1.102-4, Role of the Acquisition Team, calls on acquisition teams to be innovative and to use sound business judgment. I know of no other government regulation that so clearly empowers federal employees to do the right thing and entrusts that they will develop new plays when the acquisition game calls for it.
Critical thinking is essential to dealing successfully with these challenges and performing these roles in the best interest of our government. Acquisition gaming is one clear way to develop the critical thinking skills our acquisition teams require.
Some observations based on ASI Government's experience developing acquisition gaming:
Keep the User Experience Simple
It is best to keep it simple when considering multi-player versus multi-role. Choosing multi-role allows the gamer to appreciate the perspectives and goals of their acquisition workforce colleagues working in different roles. The complexity of the story line for multi-player drives up the expense, and we have found that while the federal government is intrigued with acquisition gaming, its investment has been limited. I would recommend that agencies invest in more gaming scenarios and skip the multi-player.
The "Art of Acquisition," a Softer Side
Soft skills are of equal importance and value in government acquisition – especially in today's challenging times. We incorporate soft skills such as communications, time management, and conflict resolution to emulate real-life scenarios, as well as simulate collaborative interaction across "Big A" Acquisition to bridge the gap between procurement and program offices. Bridging this gap is critical as our research has shown that the more effectively procurement and program organizations work together, the better the outcomes.
Gray Is the New Black
Make sure there is plenty of gray area in which the gamer can learn. Decisions are rarely based on perfect knowledge. We also incorporate plot twists into our storylines to keep them interesting. Consider mixing in some relevant and not so relevant information to emulate the information deluge and workloads many acquisition professionals experience.
Resources Are the Ultimate Score
Seed your game with plenty of learning resources that benefit gamers after the game ends, including on-lining learning clips, templates, samples, and decision support tools.
Avatar Taste on a Mini-Game Budget
Depending on your learning objectives, consider whether mini-games rather than serious gaming with avatars will meet your objectives. Mini-games or other critical thinking strategies may be especially appealing if you have a mini-budget. Speaking of budgets, consider using your acquisition workforce dollars for critical thinking strategies such as gaming, which can be offered to many employees, rather than investing in traditional training for a few employees.
User Data Not Lost in Translation
There is a lot to be gained by observing the performance, behavior, and choices made by the gamer. From frequent visits to external websites/resources, to video and audio viewing, any action the gamer takes can be recorded and synthesized into meaningful data. What are the trends when they navigate a scenario? Where do they get stuck? Where do they excel? When should the game throw them a curve ball? The data gained from gaming can show much more about the individual and the culture of the government workforce.
Interested in learning more about gaming and how to improve critical thinking? Here are some useful resources: Fostering Critical and Creative Thinking in Our Acquisition Workforce and Acquisition Gaming.

Most agencies require that contractor person providing acquisition consulting support meet the FAC-C, DAWIA or equivalency so not sure if training alone will fix the short-term view..sounds more like an issue of the contractor not having to live with what they buy. Gaming could be used to point out long term consequences of not addressing sustainability or operational test .
Nice idea, but what good is this when you have contractors who do not have to be acquisition certified and are the program managers? The last three new acquisition projects I was assigned to were problematic (from a sustainment engineering point of view) because the managers (contractors) did not want to address acquisition beyond buying the new hardware and getting it to work on the aircraft. Trying to point out the acquisition rules only got a blank look and "Next subject". Testability or sustainment issues were always "not time yet" until they tried to hand off to the sustainment house, and then find out that no spares were ordered, no data to develop testing or tech orders (beyond how to install in the aircraft and the pilot info), etc.Not sure how you can go back and require contractors to have ACQ training, since they have contracts and it is probably not in the contract, unlike us government employees who are mandated to take the training or else.

Back to Breitbart TV
West spoke for 20 minutes on stage about his confrontations with paparazzi eventually causing the audience to boo and begin walking out on the performance. While telling the story of a photographer harassing him at the airport, West argued, "Everybody out here likes sex, right," and added, "But if one of the people doesn't want to do that, that's called rape. That's called a violation."
Other celebrities have made similar statements in the past. Earlier this year while promoting her movie "A Million Ways to Die in the West," Academy Award winning actress Charlize Theron compared the way entertainment media reports on her personal life to being raped. In 2014, Gwyneth Paltrow compared celebrities pain in dealing with unflattering Internet comments to fighting in war. And in 2010, Twilight's' Kristen Stewart had to apologizing for her paparazzi rape comparison.

I remember reading about this when it first was enacted, and am surprised it was not challanged. My guess is they don't do anything if you are in violation of the law. It does appear to have achieved the desired effect though.
Jonathan Benson, staff writer
Jan. 31, 2013
(NaturalNews) It has been featured as one of the top 10 best towns in America for families by Family Circle magazine, and it has one of the lowest crime rates in the entire Atlanta metropolitan area. But one little-known fact about Kennesaw, Georgia, population 30,000, is that heads of household living in the town are required by law to own at least one firearm. And this atypical mandate has played a crucial role in making Kennesaw the safe, family-friendly town that it is today.
Originally passed by the Kennesaw City Council with a unanimous vote back in 1982, the law's stated purpose is to "protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants." And over the past 30-or-so years since the law's enactment, police and other local officials have on numerous occasions told the media that Kennesaw's gun ownership law has resulted in a drastic crime reduction throughout the area.
"When the law was passed in 1982, there was a substantial drop in crime ... and we have maintained a really low crime rate since then," explained police Lt. Craig Graydon to Reutersback in 2007 following the Virginia Tech shootings about the Kennesaw gun law. "We are sure it is one of the lowest (crime) towns in the metro area."
Kennesaw's success with mandatory gun ownership parallels that of the European nation of Switzerland, where similar laws at the national level require individuals to own guns and ammunition. And just like in Kennesaw, Switzerland's crime rate is among the lowest throughout Europe, which can be directly attributed to the country's embedded culture of responsible gun ownership.
"Social conditions are fundamental in deterring crime," explained Peter Squires, a professor of criminology and public policy at the University of Brighton in the U.K., to TIME recently about the value of promoting a culture of responsible gun ownership. "If people have a responsible, disciplined and organized introduction into an activity like shooting, there will be less risk of gun violence."
Gun ownership encourages civic responsibility, peaceful society
In other words, if owning guns and being trained to use them properly and accurately is engrained into the social structure as being normal, a "culture of support" will be fostered in which people rely on one another for protection. And according to Squires, this culture of support and the sense of civic responsibility it nurtures ultimately helps deter mass shootings rather than promote them. It also advocates a peaceful society composed of well-trained, well-protected individuals who look out for their own families and for one another.
This contrasts sharply with the current national debate on gun control, where many left-leaning politicians are claiming that increased gun restrictions will help reduce crime and promote a civil society. But what they fail to mention is that cities like Washington D.C. and Chicago, where gun restrictions are currently among the strictest in the nation, also have some of the worst crime rates in the nation. With this in mind, would you rather live in a gun-control haven like Chicago or a gun-embracing family town like Kennesaw?

An MTV classic is at last being let out of the vault. 120 Minutes, the long-running alternative-music series that spotlighted indie artists and bands not typically featured on the MTV lineup, is set to re-launch Sunday on MTV2 at 1:00am ET, with that chrome-domed font of encyclopedic musical knowledge, Matt Pinfield, back as host.
Fans who've never forgiven MTV for abandoning music in favor of reality shows about the attention-seeking, fame-whoring, and alcohol-guzzling, were particular dismayed when Minutes was cancelled in 2003 after a 17-year run. But they can now take heart: the premiere lineup tonight includes Sleigh Bells, the Black Angels, and Das Racist. And future guests set to join Pinfield on the 120 Minutes set at the Lower East Side's Arlene's Grocery include Dave Grohl, Lupe Fiasco, Kings of Leon, and PJ Harvey.
To commemorate the launch of the new show, we asked Matt Pinfield to take a '90s nostalgia trip and give us his favorite moments from the old 120 Minutes, a list that includes early signs of friction in Oasis, a lyrical tribute from Perry Farrell, and, of course, a drunken Jon Spencer meltdown. Take a look at Pinfield's favorite memories after the break: READ FULL STORY

text: On August 6, 1994, approximately 1520 mountain daylight time, a Beech B36TC, N6368C, was destroyed when it impacted terrain during takeoff at Gunnison, Colorado. The private pilot and the commercial pilot-rated passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed.One witness said the airplane was "loaded pretty full," and used "plenty of runway" for the takeoff roll. As soon as it lifted off, however, the tail "dropped significantly" and the airplane "began to oscillate left and right" before striking the ground. Another witness observed the airplane after lift off and corroborated the first witness' observations.The following is based on the pilot/operator report. The pilot sensed something was wrong as the airplane lifted off the ground. She thought the engine may have lost power as the airplane began to lose ground effect. The airplane yawed left, then right, then left again, and the right wing contacted the runway.Density altitude was a computed 10,254 feet above mean sea level.

There are only two division races in baseball. And only one with playoff implications. As we play the regular season's final month the Tigers, Phillies, Brewers and Braves each have leads of at least 7 games with only 20 remaining. In the AL East the Yankees lead the Red Sox by 2.5, bu ... More >>

10. The better team didn't win Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, but the more desperate team did. The Rangers are on a magical, unprecedented playoff roll, but asking them to be good enough - to be mature enough - to sweep the 95-win defending champions in New York was unrealistic. Those of ... More >>

The level of energy at the Lake Monticello was high for swim meets, but it was not your average swim meet on Wednesday.
Swimmers were putting their swim caps on for a good cause to support the troops in Iraq.
They are pumped and ready to swim in support of two national guardsmen serving in Iraq.
"In this meet, we're supporting the troops. They give a lot for us, and we want to give a little of it back," said Lila Caballero of the Lake Monticello Swim Team.
The Lake Monticello Swim Team prepared to host a swim tournament featuring 200 swimmers. Each swimmer considers the team a big family. It is a family who misses one of their own--a Virginia National Guardsman serving in Iraq.
"He's been missing from our community here for a couple of years. We want to show that we support him, and we appreciate all that he's doing for us," added Caballero.
The support for Captain Thomas Powers, and his brother Major Timothy Powers, will be given in supplies for care packages. The power will be shown in art work. The energy will be felt from the swimmers themselves. Most admit to helping someone they do not even know.
"I don't know anyone, but I know they're doing a good job for our country," said Lake Monticello Swimmer Katelyn Ludwig.
The National Guards are keeping everyone safe here at home. Keeping kids safe on the pool deck were lifeguards who were not carrying nearly as much gear as the guardsmen in Iraq.
"We use whistles, and hand signals and everything to communicate. The kids know what their limitations are, and what not to do, and what to do. It's going to be a fun event," said Lifeguard Brook Reynard of the Lake Monticello Swim Team.
The swim meet ran from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Lake Monticello.
