THIS GRAND three-floor West Seattle lodge-size home with a rustic porch and veranda looks west from about 350 feet above Puget Sound and six irregular blocks west of the highest point in Seattle. (Seattle's unmarked summit is in the alley between 35th and 36th Avenues Southwest, south of the Water Department standpipes on Southwest Myrtle Street. At about 522 feet high, the alley is higher up than Queen Anne Hill by more than 50 feet.)
The address here is 7448 Gatewood Road S.W., which runs at a slant through the hill's otherwise generally compass-conforming grid of streets and avenues. Most of these are crowded with homeowners who respect their neighbors' open views of the Olympic Mountains by landscaping their lots low. Here on Gatewood Road, however, the Olympics are rarely seen, except in winter from the bedroom windows on the third floor. The home is nestled in the shade of one of the greenbelts that interrupt the open sweep of the hill.
Surely a good sampling of the residences on this graceful western slope of West Seattle are homes with big families, but few of them also have eight bedrooms like this one had in 1910 when the English/Canadian couple Francis John and Pontine Ellen Harper built it for themselves, their five children, John, Frances, Macdonald, Cecil and Margaret, and more. A different Margaret, Margaret Hayes, the present owner since 1987, was told that 16 were living in the big house in the beginning.
Five families in all lived here through what the Southwest Seattle Historical Society calls The Gatewood Craftsman Lodge's 104-year history. Representatives for all of them will be on hand June 22 when the society and present owner host another of the society's annual home tours titled "If These Walls Could Talk." The public is invited; for details call the Log House Museum at 206-938-5203.

The estimated 55000 crowd came to magnificent new Wembley stadium to watch the 2007 Race of champions, The attendance was some what down on the expected 80000 and the large bowl clearly had a lot of empty seats but still the tension grew as the build up started.
The action kicked off with the SolutionF cars and a race between Norway and France. The SolutionF cars, made in France with a Nissan engine, roared off the line driven by World Rally driver Henning Solberg and Champ car champion Sebastian Bourdais.
The drivers had a close battle in the early section of the race but Bourdais finished over four seconds ahead, quite a margin for the sub two minute race.
The second heat featured the 300bhp Ford Focus World Rally Cars driven by the Norwegian Petter Solberg and the Frenchman Yvan Muller.
The Focus rally cars proved to be a bit of a handful around this tight circuit especially as they were not set up for tarmac. World rally champion was at home in the rally car but world touring car driver Yvan Muller is used to ice racing which obviously helped him put in a good performance.
The two were separated by less than a third of a second, with Solberg taking the honors. Showman Solberg was hanging out of the car waving to the crowd to celebrate the victory.
The next race featured Finn Heikki Kovalainen and Tom Kristiansen from Denmark, Kristiansen driving for Scandinavia.
Kristiansen pulled out an early lead but Kovalainen soon got back into the race to finish nary a second ahead of the seven times Le Mans winner in a SolutionF car.
Next up , another race between Finland and Scandinavia.
This time with World Rally star Marcus Gronholm and DTM driver Mattais Ekstrom using the Ford Focus WRC.
Gronholm, two-time World Rally Champion knows this car well, he finished second in the world rally championship this year in one. Ekstrom, this years DTM champion and Last years Race of champion champion was ahead after the first section of the track but Gronholm took the win after Ekstrom tried too hard to fight off the Finn and lost time when he slid wide and lent on the concrete barrier on the last corner.
The UK battle of Scotland and England now started.
The First race was Jensen Button up against David Coulthard. The two F1 drivers were using the Fiat Grande Punto rally cars were close after the first section but Coulthard lost ground in the final section and Button took the win easily.
For the second England Scotland battle the Aston Martin N24 cars were rolled out. The other two team members Alistair McRae for Scotland and Andy Priaulx slid the large Astons around the tight circuit with a glorious V8 soundtrack with Priaulx taking the win.
It was down to American NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson to take on the seven times F1 world champion Michael Schumacher. Schumacher was clearly enjoying the experience and blew away Johnson in the four wheel drive Fiat rally car, winning by a good margin.
Johnson had been unable to compete at the previous ROC 'Last year I had broken wrist after messing around with some friends' he said.
F1 driver Sebastian Vettel was up against American Rally champion Travis Pastrana again in the 430bhp Astons.
Pastrana was up on the first split and took the win despite giving the barrier a bit of a knock.
Fortunately the Aston was fine as there was a real danger of running out of them after Kovalainen had an eventful time during the practice laps.
France and Norway had a shoot out, Petter Solberg and Bourdais had a short battle in the ROC cars with Bourdais hitting the barrier on the second corner damaging the suspension. Petter only had to finish, which he did, taking Norway through.
The next and only other shoot out was between Germany and America with Schumacher and Pastrana driving up to the start line in the ROC cars.
Schumacher was a second up after the split and was still head by the checkered flag taking Germany through.
Pastrana later said 'after I hit the first wall on the first turn, I decided I'd have to probably charge harder and that was absolutely the exact opposite of what I needed to do, so I just bounced off everything.'
The first semi final was Norway vs Finland, with Henning Solberg against Kovalainen. They were driving the Fiat Rally cars.
Henning being new to this event certainly helped Kovalainen take the win with relative ease. The other team members were up next and Brother Petter fared no better, opponent Gronholm taking the win.
The other semi final was a Germany, England battle. Using the SolutionF cars (It was reported Michael was unable to drive the Aston or Ford due to his contract with Ferarri) Schumacher made a good start but by the split Jenson was up, it was a close race but Schumacher had better drive out of the last corner and took the checkered flag.
Next the Ford Focus WRC cars were taken out by Vettel and Priaulx. Vettel compleated the double victory to knock Team Autosport England out of this part of the event.
Dameon Hill commented ' It was a close competition but Germany just had the edge.' he also said that Schumacher 'was inch perfect, centimeter perfect' when discussing his driving.
Vettel was very pleased to get through to the final and had said 'I almost put it into the wall on the first corner'.
The final started very badly for team Germany. Schumacher stalled the Fiat rally car on the line, Kovalainen completed the first section and the cross over and ended up on the same piece of track just behind Schumacher. The crowd went wild as the two fought around the narrow circuit. Kovalainen looked to be trying to pass Schumacher on the twisty section of the track but Schumacher managed to Kerp him behind until the straight section where he powered past the German driver. The spectators cheered the young Finn on to the victory, he was obviously thrilled and jumped out of the car after the finish line to acknowledge the praise.
Later Schumacher was asked about the poor get away and he said 'I just stalled it, my fault'.
The final looked to be in the bag for the Finnish pair when Gronholm and Vettel pulled up to the start line in the Ford WRC, Gronholm not only the rally driver of the pair but in his usual car.
This was no walk over though, Vettel fought hard and it couldn't have been closer.
Somehow Vettel managed to pull off the win against the two time world rally champion on the last corner when Gronholm went in too fast. In order to avoid hitting the barrier he slowed down and compromised his exit speed.
Vettel and Kovalainen opted to drive the decider in the ROC buggys.
Vettel looked strong at the start but by the first section it was too close to call, Kovalaiinen fought all the way but brushing the wall on the second to last corner slowed him enough for Vettel to take the win by around a second and a half.
Schumacher, despite his comments in the press conference where he had implied that the event was just a bit of fun, was clearly delighted to have won. He was standing on the safety barrier with both fists in the air as his teammate crossed the finish line, he ran across the track leaping over the barriers to congratulate his team mate.
Vettel too was ecstatic.

Approximately 1,900 Mb/d of waterborne crude oil imports to the U.S. Gulf Coast will be forced to find another market due to burgeoning U.S. supply and flat refining demand.
EVERGREEN, CO (April 9, 2012) – BENTEK Energy, a leading energy markets information and analytics company, reports that overseas crude oil imports to the U.S. Gulf Coast region (PADD 3) are expected to decline 40% over the next five years to an average of 4,914 Mb/d in 2016. The PADD 3 section of BENTEK's Market Alert, Crude Awakening: Shale Boom Hits Oil reveals that overseas imports of both light and heavy crude will be impacted in the Gulf Coast region. The majority of the displacement will be light crude due to an influx of light supply from unconventional oil plays in the U.S. However, as infrastructure expands across the U.S-Canadian border over the next few years, growing volumes of heavy crude from the Canadian oil sands will make its way to the Gulf Coast for refining and will force out waterborne heavy crude imports. The U.S. imports the largest volumes of crude into the Gulf Coast from Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela and Nigeria.
BENTEK's Market Alert reports that regional refining demand growth will not keep pace with projected supply increases in the U.S. and Canada. Refineries will have to dramatically reduce waterborne crude imports to prevent severe oversupply conditions and capitalize on less expensive North American crude in the Gulf Coast region.
"Gulf Coast refineries are among the most complex in the world and have the ability to handle just about any type of crude, whether light or heavy, making them a prime target for U.S., Canadian and international oil producers," noted BENTEK Manager, Oil Analysis, Matt Marshall. "Understanding how much U.S. and Canadian crude will be delivered to the Gulf Coast through new rail and pipeline projects, and when those projects come online, is vital to anticipating price swings and the amount of overseas imports that will be displaced. However, U.S. and Canadian crude oil producers will face a stark reality over the next few years – the Gulf Coast is a finite demand market. When one source of supply grows significantly, another has to decline."
The Gulf Coast region is not only home to the largest and fastest growing crude oil production areas in the country, including the Eagle Ford, Permian and Anadarko, but also contains the largest concentration of refining infrastructure. In response to booming oil supply growth across the U.S. and western Canada, five refinery projects are currently planned in PADD 3 that will boost the region's refining capacity to more than 9,000 Mb/d or about half of total U.S. refining capacity. As an increasing amount of U.S. and Canadian crude is transported to the Gulf Coast for refining, BENTEK's Market Alert projects that regional oil prices will decline relative to international benchmarks.
BENTEK's Market Alert, Crude Awakening: Shale Boom Hits Oil, provides a comprehensive review of the U.S. and Canadian oil market and its potential growth over the next five years, including industry challenges and implications. The PADD 3 section of the Market Alert offers in-depth analysis of historical and projected crude oil production growth through 2016, including trends in the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford, Offshore Gulf, Anadarko and other basins and plays. This section also reviews planned regional transportation and refinery expansions and includes detailed analysis of how regional crude oil supply and demand changes will impact prices and overseas oil imports.

Every Christmas season do you promise myself you won't fall off healthy eating and fail? How can you not? With Thanksgiving dinner (for us Americans), holiday parties, Christmas feasts and then holiday vacations, it's enough to make me want to throw my hands up and declare, "I give up!" Which is exactly what I did this year and didn't gain an ounce.
Those who follow me on a regular basis know I'm working hard on getting back to a healthier weight. But I've been very careful to declare that I'm dieting. Boy that word drives me crazy! Instead, I'm reprogramming myself to naturally make healthier eating choices on a daily basis.
1. Balance Your Calories Day to Day
This holiday season, I decided I wasn't going to deny myself; instead, I would eat in moderation. Easier said than done, right? If I had an off day and indulged, the next day I was more conservative with what I consumed. So what if I had that chocolate cupcake (or another one the next day). I didn't feel denied, which kept me from wanting even more and then overeating when I did.
2. Keep Smart Snacks on Hand
Even though it was the holidays, I was careful about letting extra junk food take over our pantry. We stocked up on snacks I knew I would like and wouldn't consider all that bad. Also, knowing smart choices were just as easy to get to made it simpler for me. Instead of grabbing a bagel, I grabbed some pretzel sticks and put them in a small cup to manage the portion. Maybe not as satisfying in the moment, but more satisfying for the day.
We also went on vacation to Florida, and I made sure we had healthy snacks with us, too. I packed Nature Valley granola bars for the plane ride so we wouldn't be tempted to buy junk at the airport. We went to the grocery store our very first day there to stock up the fridge with fruits. Not everyone who goes on vacation has a house they can stay in, but buying fruit such as apples and bananas and easy-to-carry granola bars every couple is a terrific way to snack and stay away from high-calorie choices during the day.
3. Cook Dinner
Holiday time can really kill the time you have to cook. You're often out and about getting ready for Christmas or just haven't had time to go to the grocery store. And there's that vacation thing again, where it's tempting to eat out every night. Plus, if you're staying at a hotel and do need to eat out, you think why not indulge? You don't want to order the fish!
Instead of getting fancy with dinners, I kept to the basics that I knew would be easy to make and a hit with my boys. Cooking wasn't exactly the first thing I wanted to do on vacation, either. But then I thought of the alternatives and put together a menu. And on the few nights we did eat out, I ordered a fish dish. Granted, it came with french fries but a smarter choice than a burger and fries.
4. Lay Off the Alcohol
Oh boy. This one is a biggy! It is so easy to drink a couple of glasses of wine at gatherings. And when you're on a warm beach vacation, forget about it! Those homemade margaritas from fresh limes and frozen piña coladas have my name written all over them. This year, I chose a couple of nights to have a drink or two and that was it. Easier than it sounds, right? Wrong! I psyched myself out of drinking by telling myself that, while a glass of wine would be lovely, a full night of sleep would be even better.
That's right. Alcohol does affect your sleep. And when you're dealing with two hyped-up boys crazed on Christmas and then vacation who wake you up well before 6am, your sleep goes way down. Can you imagine being tired from the moment you get up and then running after the kids all day long. I just looked at those glasses of alcohol and could see my sleep slipping away. In the end, getting a good night's rest won.
5. Mindful Eating
I am the worst emotional eater. There's no reason to pretend I'm not. The difference is this holiday season when I felt myself getting stressed and wanting to eat without actually being hungry, I asked myself why I wanted a snack. Sometimes I was able to walk away telling myself I didn't actually want to eat. Other times I made healthier choices, like grabbing a low-fat mozzarella cheese stick or a handful of peanuts. And sometimes I just plain gave in to the sweets and didn't beat myself up about it.
6. Finding Balance
At the end of the day, finding a balance with my eating habits meant I didn't gain a single ounce over the holidays and vacation. Granted, I didn't lose any weight, but that actually wasn't my goal this season. I wanted to be able to enjoy the holidays without feeling deprived.
Now that January and the new year are here, I'm back on the trail and looking forward to a healthier me.

Held at the Elks Lodge on Thursday, the dinner brought to a close a successful year for the Food Closet, which provided more than 67,000 meals to those in need during 2012, according to representatives.
The Food Closet operates out of a small space at the Woodland Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and provides food to families and individuals in need. Each year the organization holds the "Season of Caring" campaign to raise funds to purchase food and any small operational expenses.
Additionally, the organization also collects food, packages it and delivers it to those in need. There are about 72 volunteers within the group.
There were more than 80 people in attendance with the Pioneer High Jazz Band providing entertainment and 90-year-old retired Judge "Buzz" Walden swearing in the board officers.
In 2012 from 1,798 referrals with some 6,620 individuals providing them with enough food to prepare almost 60,000 meals.
In addition to Costco, Robert Thompson was recognized with a Distinguished Service Award, while Sue Toyama earned recognition as Outstanding Volunteer. Debbie Hoppin was honored for her two years as board president and Debi Sterling and Beth Fife -- who are retiring from the board -- received recognition for their service.
New officers for the coming year include: President Jamie Dougherty, Vice-President Lowell Johnson, Treasurer Debbie Gilbert and Secretary Alan Flory
The, Woodland Food Closet's annual "Season of Caring" campaign's final report of contributors pushed the 2012 proceeds to slightly more than $29,000, well in excess of the $25,000 goal.
The Daily Democrat has been helping the Food Closet with its annual fundraiser since the mid-1990s.
In 2011, the organization more than exceeded its $20,000 goal by raising $27,992.71.

Ask Experts & Get Answers to Your Questions - ASAP
Hello, did you finance this vehicle?
No I am not financed with this vehicle.
Does the dealership still sell cars and what do they say when you ask for a title?
The dealership is no longer in business.
Hello are u there??
This is taking to long for a response.
Hello Mr. Tax Tom are u able to help me with my problem..??
okay. What can I do..??
Okay with out any paperwork I can find only a couple of options, one you can sue to get a title but that doesn't sound like the dealership will repond
do u have any other options..??
The second option is to aplly for an abandoned title and I have to procedure down below, If they have a lien on the title then you may still have a problem
How to obtain to title an abandoned vehicleIf you want to claim ownership and title an abandoned vehicle, you must request an application packet from the Special Title Section at an MVC Agency. You must state whether the vehicle was found on public or private property.
In order to operate an abandoned vehicle on New Jersey roads, it must first pass a state inspection process.
If you own a repair facility and a vehicle was abandoned on your property, you may have it removed and stored or you may sell it at a public or private sale.
For more information or to request an information packet, contact:
NJMVC Special Title SectionP.O. Box 017 Trenton, New Jersey 08666-0017 (609) 292-6500 ext. 5069
I have already talked with them. They said without paperwork they cannot help me.
Actually since it abandended on your property you can apply for the title that way. You can check and see if there is a lien on the title by filing out this form and paying $15 http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/pdf/Vehicles/DO-22.pdf. If there is not a lien you can put a lien on the car and foreclose on the lien and obtain ownership
The title search would be the best place to start
If there is a lien you may approach whoever has then lien and see if they will release the vehicle in return for you paying off part of the lien

New York Times legal reporter Charlie Savage showed his usual labeling blindness in Friday's piece on strange political bedfellow that oppose indefinite detention: "House to Consider Proposal to Bar Indefinite Detention After Arrests on U.S. Soil."
Savage again showed himself unwilling to label far-left figures like Noam Chomsky as far-left, but has no problem calling the Tea Party "conservative." In the past he has termed the far-left Center for Constitutional Rights "civil libertarians" and "a group of human rights lawyers." Friday he wrote:
The House is preparing to vote again on an unresolved legal controversy: whether the military may imprison terrorism suspects captured on United States soil without trial. The renewed debate comes as a federal judge has enjoined the government from enforcing a statute codifying the government's powers of indefinite detention.
Lawmakers are considering amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act. One of them, sponsored by Representative Adam Smith of Washington, a Democrat, and Representative Justin Amash of Michigan, a Republican, would scale back a highly contested provision about indefinite detention created in last year's version of the law, by saying it does not apply to domestic arrests.
It is uncertain whether there is enough support to enact the Smith-Amash amendment, which would also have to clear the Senate. The debate last year prompted an ideologically diverse outcry against the possibility of using indefinite detention on American soil, fueled in part by Tea Party conservatives. And this week a court ruling called the indefinite detention provision into question.
On Wednesday, Judge Katherine B. Forrest of the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction blocking the government from enforcing the provision. She said the vagueness of the statute -- including what counts as the kind of "support" that could lead someone to be detained -- probably violated First and Fifth Amendment rights.
The plaintiffs included Chris Hedges, a journalist who writes extensively about terrorism issues and interacts with terrorists as part of his reporting. Other plaintiffs included the dissident thinker Noam Chomsky and several supporters of WikiLeaks.
Judge Forrest, whom Mr. Obama appointed last year, noted that Justice Department lawyers repeatedly declined to say that the plaintiffs' conduct would not make them subject to being detained. Her ruling was celebrated by civil liberties advocates as an unexpected victory for individual rights in an era in which courts have largely acquiesced to sweeping claims of national security powers by the government.
Hedges is a former Times reporter whose anti-American ranting got him unplugged from a commencement address in 2003. He now writes for the far-left Truthdig website, while Noam Chomsky's anti-Americanism and notorious denial of mass genocide by the Communist Khmer Rouge in Cambodia are well known. Yet to Savage Hedges is merely a journalist, and Chomsky a "dissident thinker" – one of those "dissident thinkers" long-admired by vast numbers of university professors and students.

Floridians: Give us the vote on oil ban
A lingering question from the aborted special session earlier this month is the fallout from the Legislature's "do-nothing" attitude when it came to a constitutional ban on oil drilling. If this poll is any indication, it's not looking good for lawmakers.
A new survey from Quinnipiac University shows nearly three-quarters of Floridians support giving the state's voters a chance to decide whether to permanently ban offshore oil-drilling.
The Q poll -- which comes a week after the Legislature rejected Gov. Charlie Crist's proposal to put a referendum on the ballot -- shows that 72 percent of voters support such a move. And it comes as nearly half of those polled agree that there "is no need" for a constitutional amendment because offshore oil-drilling is already barred by state law.

We're regaining confidence in Canon's powers of compact camera making. No sooner had the impressive IXUS 90 IS left our testing labs than this tiny 10MP model turned up on our doormat.
The IXUS 85 IS redefines what you expect from such a teensy body. It feels solid and boasts invaluable niceties such as a proper viewfinder and optical image stabilizer. There are compromises of course – the LCD is a bog-standard 2.5in and the lens only goes to 3x zoom – but there's only so much you can miniaturise. And the IXUS 85 is very miniature.
Intuitive interface
After finding the user interfaces on the recent IXUS 90 and IXUS 970 to be blighted with overly convoluted controls, it was a relief to see everything minimized yet clearly labeled on the IXUS 85. It's likely you'll pick it up and know how to do everything you need within a minute of playing around.
Start-up time and focusing is also awesomely fast, which combines with the intuitive controls to make this camera effortless and worry-free in use.
For battling against the holiday sun, the optical viewfinder is also a gift from the gods. It offers a very tiny view out on the world, but it's certainly better than squinting to see what's behind the harsh reflections on your LCD.
Feel the noise
Picture quality, as so often with Canon, doesn't disappoint. Colours and detail are top notch as long as you stick below ISO 800, at which point noise creeps in rather violently. At ISO 1600 shots are pretty much unusable unless converted to black & white, at which point you appreciate that the noise is grainy rather than splodgy.
The optical image stabiliser is also very good – at least on a par with those on rival Panasonic and Samsung models.
It's hard to find fault with the IXUS 85, as the few it has are due more to the constraints set by its size – and as its size is such a big draw, we're willing to forgive it. It's a magnificent little camera in so many other ways, after all.

Shower Cupcake Tower For Chinese Baby Adoption
This cupcake tower was for my friend's baby shower to celebrate the impending arrival of her baby girl she is adopting from China that she waited over 2 years for. Used buttercream icing in (no-taste) red, yellow on homemade chocolate squares and gold edible glitter, all traditionally lucky colours in Chinese culture. The symbols represent love, eternity and peace.

Most of our elected officials and their appointees are tied to what I have come to call "old think." They are unable to see tomorrow, let alone decades down the road, and the result will be this county's inability to survive the changes we will be facing. We desperately need forward-thinking, progressive leadership that is not tied to the interests that put them in office.
The current drought, recent rains notwithstanding, should be a wake-up call, as should be the increasingly imbalanced economy of the country as a whole. And yet the bulk of our leadership gives no indication that they understand anything but their next run for office. The bulk of the citizenry would seem to be operating with no more awareness than the people they have elected. This is a recipe for disaster. Underlining that lack of awareness are the appointments to the Planning Commission by many of our supervisors of builders/contractors and their ilk combined with the development friendly, natural resources unfriendly changes to the General Plan Update's guiding principles and to the GPU.
The efforts made for economic development are picayune at best. They reflect small think and old think. What they do not reflect is the rain of environmental disasters pouring down on us country-wide.
Here in Humboldt County, we have seen what rampant logging does to watersheds. Many people think that ended with Maxxam but they are wrong; the watersheds are still being destroyed. Elk River was heavily silted up by Maxxam and the situation is still the same with Humboldt Redwood. The residents of Elk River have for decades been intermittently locked in by flooding and it still is happening. For more of the same, look at an aerial shot of Green Diamond logging.
We need to do everything we can to protect every watershed. We will need them; our children will need them. Climate change is real and happening at a faster rate than anyone thought would happen a decade ago and we need to think ahead and start protecting ourselves for the world to come both environmentally and economically. The economic impact of climate change events can be catastrophic. There were 14 extreme weather events in 2011 that cost more than $1 billion in damages each.
We are enormously advantaged here: We have a huge amount of land and a small population per square mile. We have natural beauty and wilderness areas galore. This is an economic and environmental advantage only as long as we have the foresight to protect what we have.
A major part of protecting what we have is to aggressively push for a green economic base. We need to support a number of kinds of renewable energy sources. We need to attract and support healthy green businesses. Creating an image of Humboldt as a green county will not only help to sell our goods, because these days green sells, but it will also attract a more moneyed level of tourists and will attract an educated work force needed to attract businesses.
The county's Economic Development Department spent a lot of time and money on its policy statement called Prosperity 2013. It identifies target industries to concentrate on that it claims are already thriving -- therefore supporting their growth is the "most efficient use of time and energy." This is the kind of limited and backward thinking that I referred to above. Nothing in the policy statement even touches on innovative, forward thinking or new economic development. Most importantly, the policy does not even hint at the need to look at new ways of operating in the face of economic and environmental changes.
While there is great potential to turn our economy around and improve our environment, as well as making this county more self-sufficient, it will not happen easily. It will require a committed public willing to work hard for change, willing to work and change the future for the next generation. It will also take a determination to see that we have forward-thinking leadership who put the common good in the forefront.

6th & Adams Streets - 1907
Search billions of records on Ancestry.com
Springfield Journal Register, date of paper which originally published the following is unknown.
Here's another for your collection of street scenes over the passing years - this time a view from the Square near the corner of 6th and Adams, looking east. It suggests an interesting commentary on the changes on this prominent corner. For example, that 5-story structure on the northeast corner of that intersection was the Farmers National Bank Building, located on the site now occupied by the Illinois Building. The John Bressmer Company had recently erected its fine new "annex" store, and this loomed up impressively in rear of the old part, which is now occupied by Roland's. Farther along on the south side of Adams were P. K. Fogarty's restaurant, 620; Landau Bros. shoes, 622; L. C. Goodman, clothing, 624; John L. Jones, furniture, 626; and the Johnston-Hatcher Company, as of today, 628-630. And across 7th Street on the old familiar corner - the Collins House, of course! The date - 1907 - was well reflected in such incidents of the picture as the ornamental arch, horse-drawn vehicles - buggies, milk wagons, etc.; women in white shirtwaists and long skirts; men wearing straw hats, but dark suits; a bench in the Court House yard - and the street-cleaner resting on the sidewalk curb at left! Yes - time marches on!

85 Percent Prefer iPad Over Galaxy Tab, Report Says
Not surprisingly, the Apple iPad is still the most coveted tablet this holiday season. About 85 percent of respondents in a recent Piper Jaffray survey said they preferred the iPad over Samsung's new Galaxy Tab tablet.
"Although we expect both platforms to find success in the market in [2011], we believe iPad is taking an early lead over competing Android-based tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab," senior research analyst Gene Munster wrote in a Thursday note.
To be fair, the firm only talked to 65 people and the Galaxy Tab has only been out for several weeks; the iPad made its debut in April. The firm chose people at random on their way in and out of a large national retail chain store and asked them to spend time with the iPad and Galaxy Tab. They were then asked which they preferred.
Piper Jaffray also asked these people about their perceived values for the iPad and Galaxy Tab. Respondents said the iPad (3G + Wi-Fi) was worth about $417 while the Galaxy Tab was worth $283 34 percent and 53 percent below their actual prices, respectively.
Apparently the iPad seems fancier than the Galaxy Tab. "While the iPad is priced $30 higher than the Galaxy Tab, the perceived value of the iPad was $134 higher," Munster said.
Though shoppers currently prefer the iPad, Piper Jaffray expected both tablets to succeed.
"While we expect both the iPad and Android tablet platforms to find success in the market, we believe iPad is taking an early lead over competing tablets," the report said. "We are modeling for Apple to sell 13 million iPads in [2010], an estimated 89 percent market share with very limited competition; however, we estimate this share will drop to 53 percent" next year, with Android-based tablets attracting 33 percent of the market.

There are many kitchen countertop ideas to consider and options available to the homeowner. From laminates to natural stone and all those in between, it may get a bit confusing trying to determine which direction to go. Budget always plays an important role in your decision and luckily there are numerous price-points depending on the surface you choose. So read about some of the options below to determine which works best for you.
The following kitchen countertop ideas will demonstrate the pros and cons of each and provide some cost medians to help you with your decision. Since natural stone and solid surface options still reign high on consumer wish-lists, we'll start with those.
Please note that costs vary depending on region. The prices shown are typical of the Mid-Eastern U.S.
Countertop Basics
Natural Stone, man-made composite stone and solid surface countertops are the most costly of all the options and are typically pre-cut in a remote location to specifications based on a template of your kitchen's layout and measurements.
The entire process typically entails choosing a material (granite, quartz, solid-surface, etc), browsing color options and making a choice based on cost estimates, setting up an appointment to have a professional take measurements and/or create a template (a down payment may be required) and finally, waiting for your custom-cut counters to arrive and be professionally installed.
Note: Determine what is and is not included in your total installation cost. You may be responsible for plumbing connections and/or modifications to cabinet bases.
Granite countertops are cut from slabs of naturally occurring stone. Typically, slabs are priced via a grading system based on the overall uniqueness and rareness of the stone in color and pattern variance as well as surface finish. Each piece, regardless of grade still has the same overall durability and quality attributes however lower grades may be a bit more porous.
A lower grade granite is still visually stunning once installed so remember to consider some of the more budget-friendly options. A $5.00 less per square foot option could save you hundreds in the end.
Popular granite suppliers include:
Note: Granite prices have dropped significantly in the past few years to become more competitive with man-made, solid surface countertop options. Due to its finish, quality, durability and sheer, natural lustre, it is still worth the money and highly recommended.
Thrifty Granite Options
Quartz countertops, which some classify as natural stone countertops, are actually a composite material made from both quartz and resin. Despite this fact, quartz makes up at least 90% of the finished solid surface giving it extreme durability and glimmering beauty.
Quartz is priced in the same bracket as granite so it's really a matter of preference. Quartz comes in an amazing array of colors which makes it a bit more appealing for those seeking a customized look.
Popular quartz suppliers include:
Marble countertops boast classic beauty and elegance and bring a certain degree of sophistication to a space more so than either granite or quartz. Despite its luxurious appearance, there are some downfalls when it comes to durability.
Marble, although a natural stone, is softer than both granite and quartz. Knife cutting should be done on cutting boards to protect the surface. Acidic substances such as lemon juice and certain cleaners may dull the finish, so marble counters should be sealed and polished to keep them looking their best.

Soapstone countertops may be less known or trendy, but have been around for many years and are gaining popularity in residential homes. Soapstone is a natural stone which has some interesting attributes and characteristics.
It is softer than both granite and marble but scratches are easily sanded and a quick recoating of mineral oil will blend everything together once again. In fact, unlike both granite and marble, soapstone does not need to be sealed. It is impervious to staining. The recommended mineral oil treatment is essentially a top coat to keep the surface looking its best.
Soapstone does have short-comings in color options. It typically develops as a gray-scale stone. Oiling usually deepens this to charcoal or black, and natural darkening will occur even without oiling. Because of this, soapstone has some limitations in its flexibility for design styles. However, it may be the perfect choice for your rustic, contemporary and modern kitchen if you prefer a less commonly used material.

Thrifty Soapstone Options
Solid surface countertops are man-made composites, typically acrylic, with the high-end appeal of natural stone but the added benefits of extreme durability. Since they are engineered, finishes have been developed that are impervious to staining thus requiring no sealers or maintenance. They are heat resistant and often scratch resistant. A popular and well-known solid surface example is Corian®.
Popular solid surface suppliers include:
Concrete countertops are the just plain cool looking and can be incorporated into many design styles. They are an excellent choice for a modern setting or can be color tinted to give them some Old World appeal for a more rustic approach.
Concrete, although visually stunning, does require continued maintenance above and beyond the other natural stone and solid surface options listed. Despite this, it can be easily personalized with subtle textures or inset adornments and is built on-site in custom shapes, sizes and thicknesses. You can use a concrete contractor to do the job or attempt many of the do-it-yourself concrete countertop tutorials online.
See more examples of concrete countertops.
Butcher block countertops are a great middle-ground, solid countertop option. They can be incorporated into many design styles and naturally offer a warmer look than the sometimes colder appearance of stone options.
Commonly made of maple, they can be reasonably purchased at set sizes. For instance, a 72"x36" at 1 1/2" thick can be purchased for around $200.00 while custom-cut sizes will be a bit more costly. They are a great Do-It-Yourself countertop option as well.
Butcher block does require a bit of maintenance but if care is taken, their natural appeal and beauty can be well retained. They should be regularly conditioned with a food-grade mineral oil. This will help repel moisture absorption, possible odors, bacteria and will assure a deep, rich color and finish. Cutting should ideally be done on cutting boards but if knife marks do occur, they can be sanded out.
NOTE: Under-mount sinks (seen in all examples above) are
customarily used with solid countertop applications
and provide a more seamless appearance.
Non-solid surface countertops consists of layers of materials. A popular non-solid surface counter would be laminate countertops which consist of a thin sheet of decorative laminate adhered to a plywood-type base or underlayment.
Laminate countertops are a great, economical and durable solution. They can provide a quick makeover for your kitchen and come in an endless array of colors, finishes and textures to meet most any design need you require. They are also a great DIY product to help keep costs down.
Laminate countertops have come a long way with decorative finishes emulating the look of high-end granite and other costly, natural stone options. This budget-friendly solution incorporates man-made materials designed to resist some of the flaws that plague natural stone options. Newer finishes have been engineered to be more durable, withstand scratching, resist heat and remain impervious to staining, bacteria and odors. When on a budget, this is one of the best options.
Laminate Countertop Cost Options
Replace laminate sheeting on outdated or damaged laminate countertops as the cheapest solution. Build your own countertops from particle board and adhere a laminate of your choice. If purchasing new countertops, consider those which are pre-cut, sized, and pre-bonded with manufacturer-select laminate. Your color options will be very limited in this instance however. Finally, consider unfinished, pre-cut and sized countertops and have them covered in the laminate of your choice.
Follow these tips when laminating a countertop.
Special laminate tools will help you achieve the best results.
Popular laminate suppliers include:
Tile countertops are another economical option that may provide you a more substantial feel than laminate with the flexibility to customize. Choosing this option also allows for a unified transition between counter and backsplash.
Tiles can be made from ceramic, porcelain, slate, marble, granite, and tumbled stone to name a few. Prices vary greatly. Discontinued tile can cost less than $1.00 per 12"x12" square allowing for a thrifty project. Decorative tile accents can be added to create a one-of-a-kind countertop. Tile departments at home improvement centers offer coordinating edge trims for various in-stock tile to enable a finished look.
Save labor costs by tiling your own countertop. Many online tiling tutorials can offer you guidance.
For a high-end look consider recycled glass tile. This eco-friendly product, although a bit pricey, will impressive your guests and still costs less than most solid surface installations.
Visit home improvement centers in your area for pricing and special offers.
*Check local listings for tile countertop contractors and suppliers for price quotes.
If having your tiles installed by a contractor, save money by pre-purchasing both the tile and tiling supplies.

Big man, huh? Tough guy. I don't like you.
You suggest if a dog attacks you, the best coarse of action is to run? You obviously place the life and safety of a dog over that of a human. Any dog attacks me or my family, I will use lethal force if it is an available option.
To the OP, I carry jogger fogger in a SPIbelt. It is way easier than trying to carry. I've had countless run ins with dogs. Whatever you do running away is never the answer, it only makes them chase.
If a dog is running at you aggressively stop running and yell NO, STOP, NO, etc.. at the dog...99% of the time they will stop.

Michigan Pharmacist fired for shooting at armed robber
Thu, 08 Sep 2011 21:26:01 GMT —
When you work overnights in a convenience store, grocery or a pharmacy...you already know the risks.
So much so that one might pursue legal methods of defending yourself should the need arise.
That move got a Michigan Pharmacist fired back in May when he pulled a legally concealed and permitted handgun and fired at a robber that pointed a gun at him.
(Security camera footage can be seen by clicking HERE).
The incident took place at 4:30am back on May 8th. Jeremy Hoven says he was fired because he violated Walgreens' non-escalation policy, but had never been told about the policy.
He filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids last month. His attorneys say he fired his weapon in self-defense, likely saving his own life and lives of other workers.
In its response to the allegations, Walgreens denied many of Hoven's claims, including his assertion that he was fired over the company's non-escalation policy.
It disputed Hoven's contention that he had a right to carry or discharge a concealed weapon on its premises at any time.
The company said Hoven's claims for compensation are not allowed under the law.
Walgreens had a plausible and legitimate business reason to justify its decision todischarge (Hoven), attorneys Charles Mishkind and Adam Forman said in the response.
Attorneys for Hoven released security camera footage of the incident and say the video clearly shows Hoven was justified in defending himself against the armed robber.
Watch the robbery footage and decide for yourself. Was the Pharmacist justified in defending himself? If you have a conceal/carry permit and a legal weapon, should private business concerns be able to dictate if you can defend yourself or not? Should Walgreens commend the employee instead of sending him packing? We want your opinion.

"Waiting to Be Raptured: Dispensationalist Thought in America" by Carl E. Olson (This Rock, April 1999)
Carl E. Olson, of Eugene, Ore., writes: "The father of Dispensationalism is John Nelson Darby … [who] left the Anglican priest-hood and by 1831 was among the leaders of the Plymouth Brethren, a non-denominational movement that denounced mainline Christianity. He began to teach that the true church would need to be removed from the earth in order to make way for the completion of God's dealings with the Jews. He named this secret removal of the church the 'Rapture.' This belief was something completely new in Christianity. No previous Christian, neither Catholic nor Protestant, had ever proposed or taught such a thing.
"For Darby the Church forms a 'parenthesis' between the dispensation of the Gentiles (before Christ) and the coming dispensation of the Kingdom. … Meanwhile, God's real issue in human history is with his earthly people, the Israelites. The Rapture will be the necessary removal of the heavenly people from the world so that God's work with the earthly people might be finished.
"[Dispensationalist Cyrus I.] Scofield taught that Scripture contains passages meant for each respective time period, and therefore many passages had nothing to do with present-day Christians in the Church age. This meant that most of Christ's teachings, including the Sermon on the Mount, were for the future Kingdom age, not for the Church age. This was another radical break from nineteen hundred years of Christian teaching.
"Anticipation of the Rapture and the beginning of the end grew in the 1940s and '50s. The upheaval of the late '60s and early '70s presented a ripe opportunity for someone with a skill for popular writing and a background in Dispensationalism to focus on 'end times.' That someone was Hal Lindsey. …
"Lindsey … claimed that many biblical prophecies were being fulfilled right before our eyes: the restoration of Israel as a nation, the 'apostasy' of mainline churches, the collapse of morality, and the frightening realities of the Cold War. He interpreted the destructive images of Revelation as scenes of nuclear war.
"With the fall of the Soviet Union and with global politics rapidly changing, people like Lindsey had to revise their futuristic blueprints. … Lindsey continues to put out books and has a regular television program that focuses on the Y2K bug as the most likely trigger for his end-time scenarios.
"In breaking away from the Anglican Church and forming his mistaken doctrines, Darby was following the centuries-old tradition of separatist sects … who could find good only in themselves and their own teachings. … The culmination of this attitude can be seen in this statement by [Charles] Ryrie: 'The fact that the Church taught something in the first century does not make it true, and likewise if the Church did not teach something until the twentieth century, it is not necessarily false.'
"Ryrie's assertion fails to explain how it is that we can accurately interpret the Bible in a way totally different from the previous eighteen hundred years of the Church's understanding of it. … If Scripture can be read 'plainly' and is for all people, why did it take eighteen hundred years for someone to figure out what it really means? In this claim Dispensationalists resemble the Latter-Day Saints, who believe that the truth was lost for eighteen centuries.
"Catholics are not bound to a fatalistic and pessimistic view of history. We have hope for the future, just as Pope John Paul II continually says: 'Be not afraid!' … [T]he Church, as the Body of Christ, will not fail or be 'removed' but shall one day be revealed as the true Kingdom."
Ellen Wilson Fielding writes from Davidson, Maryland.

Sneijder's agent reveals Real interest
Inter Milan playmaker Wesley Sneijder has been sounded out by former boss Jose Mourinho about joining him at Real Madrid, according to the player's agent.
• Sneijder rules out Madrid return
• Perez defends Robben and Sneijder sales
Sneijder was the lynchpin of Mourinho's side last season as they swept all before them to win a Champions League, Serie A and Coppa Italia Treble.
After netting eight times for the Nerazzurri and creating many more in their trophy-laden campaign, he went on to star at the World Cup for Netherlands, scoring five goals to help the Oranje to the final, where they lost to Spain.
Mourinho failed in an attempt to bring Sneijder's Inter team-mate Maicon to the Bernabeu over the summer, but the Dutchman's agent Soren Lerby has revealed that the 'Special One' also considered luring his client back to the club from which he was unceremoniously sold last summer.
And with negotiations over a new Inter contract no nearer to completion, Lerby admits that while Sneijder is happy at the San Siro, the presence of Mourinho at Real means a return may not be out of the question.
"There isn't a financial agreement [with Inter]," Lerby told De Telegraaf. "We will start to negotiate again when there is openness on Inter's part.
"Wesley wants to stay in Milan and he is very impressed with Moratti who told him that he would become the future leader of the team, but ...
"Wesley certainly didn't leave Real Madrid in a good way, but now that Mourinho is there it's different. Mourinho asked him what he thought about a return to Madrid."

The newest Riddick movie really is the little engine that could, isn't it? After the surprise cult success of Pitch Black, they burst out guns a-blazing with The Chronicles of Riddick, the more-or-less universally reviled big budget PG-13 sequel that all but scuttled the proposed plans for a trilogy. Well, it's been eight years and the radioactive fallout has finally dissipated, and interest has been rekindled. Vin Diesel and series director David Twohy have been working on Riddick 3 for a while now, and after some reported difficulties with the budget are back shooting the threequel now, with a new co-star in tow: Katee Sackhoff. Sexy, talented Katee Sackhoff.
Somehow, the cast of the critically-acclaimed sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica haven't really broken out since the show concluded, but Sackhoff, arguably the program's breakout star, has done pretty well for herself with recurring roles on such popular series as 24 and Nip/Tuck. If nothing else, her geek credibility remains strong, as evidenced by her sex fantasy appearance on The Big Bang Theory. She's also a pretty great actress, and we're excited that she has the opportunity to break out into features with a film with the potential, at least, to be a decent-sized hit. Deadline reports that she'll play a character named Dahl, a "Nordic mercenary" on the hunt for Diesel's title character.
CraveOnline will be back with more Riddick 3 news after we get our eyes shined.

jt was my favorite ever on survivor, and he is a better friend to stephen than stephen is to him.I hate to see him give the $100,000 to stephen.
Doesn't the person who comes in second get something like $250,00.00?jt was my favorite ever on survivor, and he is a better friend to stephen than stephen is to him.I hate to see him give the $100,000 to stephen.
Some people may not have looked at JT as "the mastermind." It took a lot of brains to win the last two immunity challenges. Remember the one to get to the final three involved not only being physically strong but there was the puzzle he had to solve. The last challenge really took concontration and co-ordination. JT had it all. I am SO happy for him. He deserves every dime!!!
I thought second place has always been $100,000.
It was much easier for JT to bring Stephen than the other way around, because they both knew that JT had a big edge for the million. So, JT "gave" Stephen $100K (or whatever), but in the reverse Stephen would have "given" JT $1 million. There was nothing even about it, and JT even admitted in a confessional that there was an inadvisability of bringing Stephen. JT didn't get self-righteous about it until it made him look good to do so. It was a risky move, but also very manipulative of him.
I'm not begrudging JT of the win, I think he earned it, but he wasn't the noble warrior.
One of my favorite parts of this season was watching the unlikely friendship/alliance of City boy Stephen & Country boy JT. They stayed strong in their partnership & trusted each other from the very beginning & found a genuine new unlikely friendship. Only at the end did it begin to waver, & then only because of the stress of the game.
It was nice to see the real friendship was there at the reunion show.
It reminded me of my favorite Survivor partnership: Lex & Big Tom, the same kind of City boy/Country boy unlikely pair. Same thing, only at the end did it waver, but the friendship made it through strong.
JT was my favorite for the win this season, but I liked them both. Just so both of them were the final 2, I knew I'd be happy with the winner.
I've just watched the season in one long marathon sitting, and I have to say that I love J.T. He seems the best combination of savvy and scruples (relative to Survivor) that there's been in a long time.
Congrats to JT - the right person won the game and the million :-)
No offence to JT's trust of Stephen but I sure hope he uses caution regarding how he invests his winnings and with whom. We've already seen how Stephen can turn on his friend in the name of winning money...he got pretty nasty at times and I didn't get the impression that he was just trying to win the money...I think he meant every word he said. Even though JT admitted to acting devastated by Stephen's words in order to gain more jury votes (I wonder how many women across North America wanted to give him a snuggle during those moments, lol), he never tried to rub Stephen's face in the dirt. I really hope JT takes his time deciding how to invest and keeps investing and his new friendship with Stephen seperate. THAT would be good business sense.
Love ya JT!
Just saw a People magazine issue (the 50 bachelors one) in my dentist's office (honest! ) that said that Stephen and JT are very close still, talk all the time, etc.

New Delhi: Srinath Soren is a legislator from Odisha's ruling party, the Biju Janata Dal. He drives an SUV, owns property and gold and even has life insurance. Mr Soren also has a BPL card in his name which declares him a very poor man entitled to subsidised rations.
A Right to Information query brought the anomaly to light. Mr Soren and his family have been on Odisha's list of BPL or people below the poverty line since 1997. The MLA says he has not claimed the card or the benefits it fetches and even says he fears he could be the victim of a ration scam. He told reporters today, "The card No 282925 that has been issued in my name is absolutely incorrect...I am not aware of this and I have never even seen that card. An enquiry will be conducted in this matter. If anybody is found procuring rations in my name, I will take severe action against him."
Mr Soren, who is from a poor tribal family in Mayurbhanj, North Odisha, says his political career made him leave his village in 1997 and he has not returned since. He won his first Assembly election in 2009. He is hard put to explain why he was not removed from the list when it was last updated in 2007-2008 and admits that the government may have been more liberal with including people on the list then since assembly elections were just a year away and politicians often use cheap grain to woo poor voters.
The MLA is also at pains to point out that he is not exactly a rich man now and says he has bought his fancy car on loan.
The Naveen Patnaik-led BJD government has ordered an investigation. Food and Supplies minister Pratap Deb said, "The BPL card which was issued to him was under the survey of 1997-1998...he was a panchayat samiti (village body) member then. When he became an MLA, he should have forfeited it voluntarily and if he did not, the district administration should have noticed it."
The minister said that while Mr Soren might not have derived benefit from the BPL card after becoming an MLA, the government now needed to ensure that no one else was misusing it.
The government describes a person as below the poverty line if his or her income is Rs. 28.65 or lower per capita daily in cities and Rs. 22.42 or lower in rural areas.

Often those of you who read Dining@Large regularly already know whatever news is in my Table Talk column, which appears in the Taste section on Wednesdays.
But today I write about something unusual that I hadn't mentioned on the blog, a local gospel group that decided to open a soul food restaurant for the betterment of their community. ...
I also found out about the Prime Rib and Petit Louis being open for Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year through comments you made, so thank you very much. If any others have come to your attention let me know.
As usual, Top 10 Wednesday has a few reader comments as well as the list. Reading them reminds me once again how odd it was that a few people got insulted by John's list of signs that you're a foodie. Especially since he's even more of a foodie than I am. At least I never cooked with Jacques Pepin.
But back to Table Talk for a moment. Of course, the page designer had to run the photo of Immeasurable, the gospel group; but I get to use the picture of the homemade ten-layer yellow cake with chocolate frosting, which looks a lot like a delicious Smith Island cake to me.
