June Maffin Art Blog
The Launch
by junemaffin , October 23, 2008—12:00 AM
With the launch of the Soulistry Workshops and Retreats comes the question from prospective clients "What do you offer in the workshops and retreats?" It's taken a bit of doing but I've now put together a one-page outline and so far, the reception has been very positive. ;-) As Soulistry's intention is to offer workshops and retreats "connecting spirituality and creativity" thought I'd post that sheet here in the hopes that ArtID folk network can share info about new creative possibilities. ;-)
Living in Shawnigan Lake, on beautiful Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, the mist on the lake is often mysterious and filled with promise at the same time. That's the image of Soulistry at this moment in its history. Misty - mysterious - filled with promise. Will this new venture be productive, successful, meet the needs of participants, meet my own expectations? Time will tell - and the good news is --- behind the mist is the sunshine. ;-)
Here's that one-page I've prepared (better format version available on my website: www.soulistry.com

yarn, the new crack
Last night I was at a local knit night at another LYS. I used to avoid this one as pretentious and stuffy, too precious and expensive, and then in a stroke of marketing genious, this upber-white, waspy store hired the only black woman working in a PDX LYS. Thank DOG for Terrisa (that is the correct spelling....it's a Quaker spelling, I am told). Now the store rings with laughter and humour, and a bit more champagne during the knit nights. HOWEVER....damn yarn sale. After last weekend's unexpected yarn adventure, I promised myself that I would buy NO MORE. That vow lasted a whopping 5 days: Tahki Donegal tweed at 30% off. How could I possibly resist? I was good boy, though....I only bought $40 worth. (IT'S A MIRACLE!) 2/16/07....15 hats knit thus far... I wish I had thought to photograph them all before I sent them away. Love to you all from misty Portland.

(PRN) Sipera Enables Secure Deployment of WiFi Dual-Mode Phones and IMS/UMA Networks
Published 12:40 pm, Monday, March 26, 2007
New IPCS Functionality Allows Service Providers to Grow Revenue by Securing
New Services over the Internet
RICHARDSON, Texas, March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Sipera Systems, the leader in pure security for VoIP, mobile and multimedia communications, today announced new functionality for the Sipera IPCS 520 including a security policy framework, intrusion detection and prevention functionality and troubleshooting features. This enables comprehensive security for service providers offering revenue enhancing services based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) or Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technologies.
"Service providers are leveraging the Internet to offer revenue enhancing services, utilizing WiFi dual-mode phones, which expose networks to new exploits and vulnerabilities. The Sipera IPCS products allow service providers to offer consumers and enterprises peace of mind through comprehensive security that operates in real time, and ensures uninterrupted communications," said Seshu Madhavapeddy, Sipera president and CEO. "For service providers deploying IMS or UMA networks, the Sipera IPCS 520 now offers troubleshooting and IDS functionality in addition to enhanced application-layer security, which improves the subscriber's experience with consistent, reliable and secure performance."
With WiFi dual-mode phones, consumers and enterprise employees can use cellular networks when roaming, but also connect to WiFi access points and use VoIP, with the same device. To secure this service, the Sipera IPCS 520 serves as an IDS/IPS security solution at the service provider edge while the enterprise-class Sipera IPCS products are deployed in the enterprise DMZ, allowing secure integration of dual-mode phones with the corporate IP PBX. This complete solution thwarts VoIP exploits that are growing as dual mode phones and other VoIP services become more prevalent.
New functionality for the Sipera IPCS 520 also includes:
- More protection capabilities, as Sipera VIPER Lab researchers discover new vulnerabilities and appropriate remedies to thwart exploits;
- The ability to deploy an intrusion detection system (IDS), allowing service providers to monitor traffic and identify issues; and
- Robust troubleshooting features that enable the capture of message traces for specific subscribers and handsets, based on customized criteria and events. The Sipera IPCS 520 is engineered specifically for service providers and supports 100,000 users and 10,000 simultaneous sessions with 2Gbps of throughput in IDS/IPS mode. The product is not a point-of-failure when deployed inline nor subject to attack, as it is deployed without an IP address as a bump in the wire, with no network configuration changes - preserving network integrity and user uptime, for fast ROI.
This new functionality for the Sipera IPCS 520 will be available in 2Q 2007. For further information, visit http://www.sipera.com/ipcs520.
About Sipera SystemsSipera Systems provides enterprises and service providers with comprehensive VoIP security solutions that protect, control and manage real- time unified communications. The Sipera IPCS(TM) products combine VPN, Firewall/SBC, Intrusion Prevention, Anti-Spam, Compliance and Troubleshooting functionality for VoIP systems in a single device. This securely enables IP PBXs, VoIP remote users, SIP trunks, data/voice VLANs, hosted VoIP services and IMS or UMA-based networks. Comprised of top vulnerability research experts, the Sipera VIPER(TM) Lab concentrates its efforts towards identifying VoIP vulnerabilities, while Sipera LAVA(TM) tools verify networks' readiness to resist attacks.

Find information about Berea College plumbing classes, and registering for elective degree courses. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Are you are considering an associates degree in electronics engineering, or a bachelor of science in mechanical or civil engineering? Concentrating on Berea College plumbing classes, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the hvac technology department for course registration deadlines, and hydraulic engineering program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Berea College.
Mechanical engineering degrees typically take four to five years to complete, and result in a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng), Bachelor of Science (BSc or BS), or Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (BME). In the US, most undergraduate mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Mechanical engineering programs include courses on composites, thermodynamics, engine design, fluid dynamics, control theory, robotics, and computer-aided design (CAD). In addition to the core mechanical engineering curriculum, many mechanical engineering programs offer more specialized programs and classes, such as control systems, fuel cell technology, and biomechanics.
Many mechanical engineering companies have begun to incorporate computer-aided engineering (CAE) programs into their existing processes, including 2D and 3D solid modeling computer-aided design (CAD), enabling faster and more exhaustive visualization of products. Other CAE programs commonly used by mechanical engineers include product lifecycle management (PLM), and analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). Further, automation in the form of industrial robots allow businesses to save money on manufacturing costs, and ensure precision quality control. The median annual income of mechanical engineers in the US workforce was $80,580, highest when working for the government ($92,030), and lowest in education ($57,090). Beyond major requirements within the hvac technology department, you may consider University of Central Oklahoma aeronautical engineering as an adjunct to your primary course of study.

Silly season in the G.A.A. calendar never disappoints
The silly season has just passed in the G.A.A. calendar and yet again we have not been disappointed by the powers that be.
With a dearth of games we can always rely on officialdom to keep us entertained with decisions that can cause controversy and generate sensational headlines, sometimes warranted but a lot of times it's just to fill column space.
This period of blunders began with the announcement that the majority of Division 4 inter-county players would refuse to play in a proposed new All-Ireland 'B' championship.
In its wisdom Central Council decided to bring this to Congress as one of three proposals for change, so already one suggestion is doomed.
It may be seen as a case of tit for tat because the G.P.A's own suggestion of a champions' league-style competition was rejected without consideration.
In reality all inter-county players want to play in the All-Ireland series proper even if they know they are not going to win it.
The chance of a big day out against one of the championship favourites is an achievable target for any team in the current format. With the G.A.A. and G.P.A. almost bosom buddies these days though, you would think this public disagreement could have been avoided with a little bit of consultation in private.
There is no magic solution on the horizon to the fixtures problem and the mismatches at county level, but these are age-old problems and the opinions of all interested parties need to be taken into account.
The news that Bruce Springsteen will be lining out in his customary position instead of Wexford hurlers and footballers was no big surprise, as these concerts are a major cash cow for the G.A.A.
However, bringing the games forward a week will cause serious concerns for both squads.
I wonder if the players and management were consulted before the decision was made as to the best of my knowledge a lot of college students will be in the final week of their exams?
This is not ideal preparation for their biggest match of the year. I know the counties involved will surely be suitably compensated, but why wasn't the game changed to a week later?
I suppose I do have a slight resentment towards Bruce Springsteen; after all he has played more times in Croke Park than I ever did, despite the fact that he never sold one Model County or club lotto ticket!
The biggest headline grabber was the €2,000 fine dished out to Dromard G.A.A. club for allowing the Jamie Carragher Soccer School to hold their event on the hallowed ground.
This is a charitable organisation called 'The 23 Foundation' which helps people and organisations raise funds to help themselves, as well as donating money.
Check out their website and you can see the fantastic work they do, driven by the famous former Liverpool defender.
The rule banning the use of G.A.A. facilities to other sports is outdated and is blatantly broken on a daily basis.
Go out to any G.A.A. club over the next few nights and see how many have soccer teams training on their all-weather or indoor facilities.
In most cases the same players are playing for both clubs.
Instead of alienating players it can be used as a way of recruiting players to their respective sports.
Can you imagine a blanket ban on soccer clubs using G.A.A. facilities being strictly enforced?
Apart from losing the crucial income generated, I can imagine what would happen when the G.A.A. club calls on the same players to turn up for the first league game.
A two-fingered salute would be the reply of a lot of players. I think it's time for some common sense to prevail.

In an exclusive sit-down with ET, Jon Gosselin says he's completely out of the loop when it comes to his 12-year-old son Collin's current whereabouts.
"I have an idea where he is but I don't really know where he is," Jon tells ET's Jennifer Peros. The former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star goes on to say that while his ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, "says that Collin is in a special school for special needs kids with behavioral problems," Jon claims he has been told otherwise by law enforcement officials.
In August, Kate revealed that she enrolled Collin — one of the divorced couple's eight children together — in a program away from home to help him cope with "special needs." Collin is missing from the new "Kate Plus Eight" trailer that debuted late last month, and won't be appearing in the new season of the TLC reality show.
WATCH: EXCLUSIVE — Jon Gosselin Talks Estrangement From His Kids — 'I Haven't Seen All 8 of My Kids Together in 3 Years'
Kate currently has full legal custody of their kids — twins Cara and Mady, now 16; sextuplets Aaden, Collin, Joel, Leah, Alexis and Hannah, now 12 — while Jon has partial physical custody.
Jon, 39, says he hasn't seen Collin in over a year and a half, when he claims 41-year-old Kate took him out of the private school he was attending without consulting him. Jon says he's now going to court to attempt to get a judge to force his ex-wife to tell him where his son is.
"I mean, I ask but she doesn't tell me," he says about Collin's current whereabouts. "She doesn't answer any of my texts."
Jon claims that Collin's brothers and sisters are also not in touch with him, and also have "no idea" where Collin is. "They know that their mom told them that he has behavioral issues," he says.
As for whether Jon saw any behavioral problems with Collin himself, Jon says his son "seemed fine" to him the last time he saw him. He describes Collin as "really smart" and being "incredibly intuitive."
"I could see my kids getting annoyed with that because he's the smartest and he does this, and he does that, and he always wants it his way," he says. "He's very particular, which could be bothersome. But, he's very loving too. He was a cuddly kid as a baby."
ET has reached out to Kate for comment. Tune in to ET on Wednesday to see Jon go into detail about what he believes his kids' current lives are like with Kate.
WATCH: Jon Gosselin Celebrates Twins Mady and Cara's 16th Birthday With Sweet Instagram Pic — A Few Days Late
In August, Jon told ET that he was very "upset" at Kate's headline-making tell-all to People, in which she discussed Collin's health. "Collin has special needs," Kate said. "[There's] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things. This has been a struggle we've had for a very long time, and it's one I've dealt with on my own."
"I love my children very much," Jon fired back. "I've always been there for them and I always will be. It's shocking."

Overview of the Patent Cooperation Treaty system
Source : World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
What is the Patent Cooperation Treaty?
The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is an international treaty administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Under the PCT system, you may file for a patent in as many as 142 member countries through a single application filed in Canada.
More precisely, after you have filed an international application in Canada, you are able to designate or elect any of the signatory countries to seek patent protection there at the national level. The granting of patents remains the responsibility of each national patent office.
Why would I file internationally?
A Canadian patent does not protect your invention in another country.
For example, suppose you have invented a mountain-climbing snowmobile and hope to corner the market in countries where the machine may be in demand. You will probably want a patent not only in Canada, but also in the United States, Austria, Germany and wherever else a mountain-climbing snowmobile could be used. You might also want a patent in Japan, where many snowmobiles are manufactured. Otherwise, someone in one of those countries might copy your invention and market it in competition with you.
What is WIPO?
WIPO is an agency of the United Nations dedicated to intellectual property issues. In its role as administrator of the PCT, WIPO is referred to as the International Bureau and carries out five major processing functions:
- receives the application
- receives amendments to the patent claims
- undertakes international publication
- communicates your application and an international search report to patent offices in the countries you designate
- communicates an international preliminary report on patentability (Chapter I or Chapter II—see below under Chapter designation) to patent offices in the countries you designate
In addition, WIPO produces various materials that provide information related to patents and the PCT, including:
- the PCT Applicant's Guide, a comprehensive guide that addresses each step of the PCT filing process, including requirements for national entry into the contracting states
- the PCT Gazette, which is published weekly and contains notices and indexes relating to the publication of individual international applications and general information concerning the PCT
- the PCT Glossary, which aids in the understanding, drafting or translating of PCT documentation
- access to PATENTSCOPE®, a database that houses the PCT applications that have been published and facilitates the search of international patent applications
The PCT procedure simplified
The PCT procedure has two main phases: an international phase and a national phase. The expressions "international phase" and "national phase" are not official PCT terms, but have utility and have become well known.
1. International phase
You file an international application, which complies with the PCT formality requirements, in one language, and pay one set of fees. The patent office processes the application and gives it an international filing date and international application number.
International search
An international searching authority identifies (in an international search report) any published documents that may have an influence on whether the invention is patentable, and then summarizes the invention's potential patentability in a written opinion.
Publication of documentation
Shortly after 18 months from the filing date, the contents of an international application are published along with the international search report.
Chapter designation
Should you decide to continue with the application process, you must then choose which course to pursue:
- Chapter I of the PCT—This is the default designation. If you choose to continue with Chapter I of the PCT, the application will proceed to the national phase. In accordance with Article 19 of the Treaty, after you receive the findings of the international search report, you are entitled to a one-time amendment of the claims. You must file any amendments with the International Bureau. The written opinion will serve as the international preliminary report on patentability and will be communicated to the states where you are seeking patent protection. These states are referred to as "designated" states.
- Chapter II of the PCT—If you wish, file a PCT/IPEA/401 form (referred to as a "demand") with an international preliminary examining authority (IPEA). You should consider filing a demand if you are not sure about your chances of getting patent protection. The IPEA will do an additional patentability analysis (referred to as an "international preliminary examination report"). In accordance with Article 34 of the PCT, you may amend any part of the specification, and all amendments will be transmitted directly to the IPEA for analysis. The resulting report offers a non-binding opinion on whether the invention is novel, involves an inventive step and has industrial applicability. The international preliminary examination report will serve as the international preliminary report on patentability and will be communicated to the states where you are seeking patent protection. These states are referred to as "elected" states.
Communication with national offices
The designated or elected office will request from the International Bureau a copy of the published international application and the international search report. It will also ask for the international preliminary report on patentability (Chapter I or Chapter II, as required).
2. National phase
You can now seek patent protection from the national or regional patent offices of the states that you designated or elected during the application process. In each national or regional office, you must also pay applicable fees and provide any necessary translations.
It is important to note that in the national phase, any patent office is free to apply its national law to determine patentability. The national offices will examine the international application based on prior art (information that might cause the patent examiner to object to one or more of your claims) and any other conditions of patentability that are not requirements of the international application.
Each contracting state has given a detailed summary of the requirements for entry into their national phase. However, as practices and rules may change, the only authentic sources of information on requirements are the laws, rules and regulations of each state.
Consider using a patent agent
Patent offices inform applicants of the services provided by registered patent agents. Patent agents have expert knowledge and experience that you can use during the preparation and prosecution of your patent applications. The Canadian Intellectual Property Office's website provides a list of registered patent agents who can represent you before the Canadian Patent Office.
Minimum requirements for filing
You are entitled to file an international patent application if you are a national or resident of one of the PCT contracting states. If there are several applicants named in the international application, only one of them needs to comply with this requirement. An international patent application must be prepared according to certain formal requirements set out in the PCT and its regulations. WIPO's PCT Applicant's Guide—International Phase sets outs these requirements. If you follow these requirements, you will not have to adapt to various national or regional requirements later.
WIPO uses standard forms to collect information during the application process. The WIPO PCT forms page offers editable copies of the required PCT forms, as well as samples of properly completed forms.
For the application to be recognized by the International Bureau (WIPO), it must also be accompanied by the required fees. You must pay all required fees within one month from the date that the international application is received; late payments are subject to an additional fee. Fees to be transmitted include:
- Transmittal fee ‐This fee is intended to compensate the receiving office (RO) for the work it does in connection with the international application.
- International filing fee ‐ This is a fee paid to the RO for the benefit of the International Bureau when filing an international application.
- Search fee ‐This fee is paid to the RO for the benefit of the international searching authority for carrying out the international search.
- Preliminary examination fee and handling fee ‐ This fee is paid to the international preliminary examining authority for filing a demand and for conducting an examination of the application.
How to file an international application
Once you have prepared the international application according to PCT requirements, you should file it. You have four options for filing:
1. International Bureau as the receiving office
An international application may be filed directly with the International Bureau. The International Bureau will act as the receiving office; however the international searching authority (ISA) and international preliminary examining authority (IPEA) are determined based on the contracting state, which is the same as your nationality or country of residence. Where two or more applicants are from different contracting states, filing the international application with the International Bureau may result in a wider choice of authorities. In such a circumstance, the choice of ISA must be shown in the request and the choice of IPEA must be shown in the demand.
The International Bureau will receive international applications by:
| International Bureau of WIPO
PCT Receiving Office Section
34, chemin des Colombettes
1211 Geneva 20
|(41-22) 910 06 10
Note: Originals of facsimiles need to be received within 14 days of transmittal.
|Electronic format
2. National office as the receiving office
You may file an international application with the national office of the PCT contracting state where you are a resident or national, or with the office acting for that state. If there are two or more applicants, it is fine if only one of the applicants satisfies this requirement.
To file the international application with Canada as the receiving office, please address your applications to the Commissioner of Patents and send the application by:
|Mail or in person
| Place du Portage I I
50 Victoria Street, room C114
Gatineau, QC K1A 0C9
|By facsimile
Note: Faxes sent to any other number will not be considered received by CIPO.
|Electronic Format
We will consider correspondence sent electronically, including by fax, to be received on the day that it is transmitted, if it is delivered and received before midnight, local time at CIPO, on a day when CIPO is open for business. For correspondence delivered on a day when CIPO is closed for business, we consider it received on the next day CIPO is open for business.
3. Electronic filing using PCT-SAFE software
PCT-SAFE (Secure Applications Filed Electronically) offers you a way to prepare your international applications electronically. You may also file the application either via secure online transmission or using physical media (e.g., diskette, CD-R, DVD-R). If you file electronically, you will pay certain fees at a reduced rate. All this is explained in the general overview and frequently asked questions concerning PCT-SAFE, which are available from the WIPO website. Please note that there are minimum system requirements to use and download the PCT-SAFE software.
To file an application, please visit CIPO's PCT e-filing page, or WIPO's electronic filing (PCT-SAFE) page.
4. Electronic filing using ePCT online service
For PCT applications filed with CIPO in its capacity as receiving office
You can use ePCT to prepare, validate and download an e-filing package to be transmitted to CIPO as the receiving office. CIPO, as a receiving office, does not accept direct online filings of international applications through the ePCT online service. Once you have prepared the e-filing package with the ePCT online service, you will need to visit CIPO's PCT e-filling page to submit the e-filing package.
For PCT applications filed to the International Bureau in its capacity as receiving office, with CIPO as the designated international searching authority
You can also use ePCT to prepare, validate and file a PCT application with the International Bureau as receiving office, to be transmitted to CIPO as the international searching authority. This process is explained in the e-PCT user guide and frequently asked questions concerning ePCT, which are available from the WIPO PCT Portal.
If your nationality and residence are Canadian, then only Canada will be available as an international searching authority (ISA). However, if you have different states of nationality or residence, you will need to choose the ISA. In any case, you will have to click on the drop-down menu to indicate the ISA, as shown below:
Screenshot from ePCT
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office
The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) plays a role at both the international phase and national phase of the PCT system. These roles include:
- receiving office (RO)
- international searching authority (ISA)
- international preliminary examining authority (IPEA)
- designated/elected office
International phase
CIPO's Patent Office has three distinct roles during the international phase.
1. Receiving office
If you or one applicant from your group of applicants is a national or resident of Canada, the application may be filed with CIPO. You must file the application in either English or French. You must use Canadian currency to pay the transmittal, international filing and search fees within one month of receiving the international application. These and further requirements are outlined in WIPO's PCT Guide. Here are the four steps involved:
- Step 1
CIPO receives the international application from you.
- Step 2
CIPO checks the international application to determine whether it meets the requirements for form and content for international applications. This check is formal in nature only and does not go into the substance of the invention.
- Step 3
If the international application meets the PCT requirements for giving the application an international filing date, CIPO accords the international filing date and international application number.
- Step 4
CIPO transmits the "record copy" of the international application to the International Bureau, keeps a "search copy" for its roles as an international searching authority and keeps one copy as the "home copy."
2. International searching authority (Chapter I)
Where an international application is filed with Canada as the receiving office, CIPO will serve as the ISA. Canadian examiners will produce an international search report and a written opinion of the ISA (WO-ISA). The WO-ISA provides the applicant with a preliminary, non-binding opinion on the issues of novelty, inventive step (ingenuity) and industrial applicability of the patent. This allows the applicant to assess, at the search stage, whether to proceed to the national/regional phase. If no demand for international preliminary examination is filed, the WO-ISA will be converted by the International Bureau into an international preliminary report on patentability (IPRP Chapter I). These and further requirements are outlined in WIPO's PCT Applicant's Guide.
3. International preliminary examining authority (Chapter II)
CIPO will carry out an international preliminary examination on condition that you have filed a "demand" form and paid the accompanying fees. You need to indicate in the demand if the application is to be examined as originally filed or amended in accordance with the PCT. The purpose of the international preliminary examination under Chapter II is not to grant or refuse a patent, but to provide a preliminary and non-binding opinion on whether the claimed invention appears to be novel, involves an inventive step and has industrial applicability. These and further requirements are outlined in WIPO's PCT Applicant's guide.
Questions during the international phase
Prior to filing, you can contact either WIPO or CIPO with general questions about the PCT system, including how to file an international application and the procedure you need to follow during the international phase.
National phase
If you have designated or elected Canada for national patent protection, there are a few requirements that you need to fulfill to successfully enter the "national phase" in Canada. One requirement is that you submit the application in either English or French. Another requirement is that you pay maintenance fees for each one-year period from the international filing date. Additional requirements are listed in WIPO's PCT Applicant's Guide.
The time limit for entering Canada's national phase is 30 months from the priority date (the date on which the application met the requirements under PCT). Late entry is available, and the time limit may be extended up to 42 months from the earliest priority date, provided you pay the national entry fee and the additional late entry fee. Upon national entry, the application is considered a national application and prosecution of the patent application is carried out according to statutory requirements, the Patent Act and Patent Rules. Copies of these legal texts and additional information are available from the CIPO website.
All applicants may use the services of a patent agent and benefit from their experience and knowledge in preparing and prosecuting applications with CIPO. However, where the applicant is not the inventor of the alleged invention, you must appoint a patent agent. Once you have appointed a patent agent, CIPO will correspond only with the patent agent concerning the prosecution of the application. Only registered patent agents from CIPO's agent list can conduct business with us.

You would usually find more than one.... And if it is a termite, it would be a soldier termite, they stay close to worker termites to guard them. I hope you saved it as a sample.
Was it coming out of the wood you were painting? Check that area again, and perhaps give me some more details. I have pictures of termites on my termite page, maybe a look there will help you out.

Patti and David are long-time residents of Vancouver but didn't start out here. Patti hails from the centre of Canada (where it's a lot colder) and David spent his formative years in Dublin, Ireland. As seasoned travellers ourselves, we understand the importance of comfortable, safe and relaxing accommodations, and have tried to create such a space for our guests. Patti works in public relations in downtown Vancouver, a 15 minute drive away, and David is a marketing consultant working from a home office. We both enjoy being physically active, and chose to live in Dunbar because of its proximity to green space and local beaches. We look forward to welcoming you to our apartment and ensuring your experience is a great one.

"The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker"
Edited by Robert Mankoff
Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 656 pp., $60 (includes two CDs of all the cartoons)
It's the magazine that raises eyebrows when one weakly insists, "I buy it for the articles." Because everyone knows that what people really love about The New Yorker is its cartoons.
Now, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the magazine, The New Yorker has collected eight decades of its cartoons into a massive, nine-pound book, suitable for only the sturdiest of coffee tables. The collection was edited by the magazine's cartoon editor, Robert Mankoff (who will talk about the book and The New Yorker at Town Hall Tuesday night), and is interspersed with delightful essays from such New Yorker contributors as Roger Angell and Calvin Trillin.

Between the lines
Robert Mankoff, editor of "The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker," speaks at 7:30 p.m.Tuesday at Town Hall, Eighth and Seneca Streets, Seattle. Information: www.foolproof.org
The book's heft is initially off-putting, as is the nagging feeling that The New Yorker has flogged its cartoon franchise within an inch of its life, marketing desk calendars, dog-only and cat-only collections, and many other subsets.
But spending just a few minutes with this book, which is organized into chronological chapters, is a chance to lose oneself in literary history. Everyone will find favorite artists here, from the art nouveau stylishness of Peter Arno and the surreal gothic prism of Charles Addams to the decidedly '90s neuroses of Roz Chast.
The decades are further divvied up by topic, including "war," "television," and the perennially popular "drinking" and "money." The essays help capture the era inside The New Yorker's offices as the works we see were being created and selected. Current editor David Remnick tells wry stories of the excruciating micromanagement by legendary New Yorker editor Harold Ross, who marked up every cartoon with notes and suggestions to be trotted back to the beleaguered artists. One anecdote Remnick dryly recounts happened in 1933: "Ross came to a drawing by Carl Rose with the caption 'Speak, Mr. Pennywhistle, speak to me.' Thanks to the archives, we have his notes to Rose as dictated to [his assistant] Miss Terry: 'Reduce Mr. Pennywhistle and make him concave.' "
"The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker" is an investment, both in money and living-room real estate, but if you think of it as eight decades of a cultural encyclopedia condensed into one volume, it begins to feel like one that will pay off over time.

As the mother of five grown children, Sharon Greiner knows a thing or two about loving and caring for a family.
But Greiner truly honed her maternal and domestic skills when she began volunteering for Animals Deserving of Proper Treatment (A.D.O.P.T.) two-and-one-half years ago. As a beginning volunteer, Greiner cleaned floors and dog cages.
Greiner found her "passion," however, about six months later when a passerby reported three kittens, "probably a week or so old," in the middle of the street, she said.
"The police called A.D.O.P.T," said Greiner, whose human family also includes canines and felines. "And Rich (Glessner, director of operations) said the shelter could take the kittens if I could foster them."
Greiner, always a mom, accepted the challenge.
The three kittens were "loaded with maggots up and down their back and tail," she said. "In fact, I had to comb them off before I knew what (the maggots) were. I took the kittens home and started bottle-feeding them.
"The shelter gave me some KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer); I did exactly what the instructions said. I did a ton of online research the next day. Every question that came up I would ask someone at the shelter, like an experienced foster mom, the medical team, or Chris Stirn (medical services coordinator).
"I was just so into it," Greiner said.
Now, at least 10 litters later, the Naperville mom says she's hooked. "One thing led to another, and I had litter after litter. I just fell in love with [fostering kittens]."
While fostering, Greiner said she's faced some, well, unpleasant domestic duties.
"I've had plenty of kittens that have had diarrhea for weeks, and I'd have to wash them every time I went to feed them," she said. "Laundry would be three loads per day."
Greiner said she would spend 5-6 hours each day caring for her diarrheic kittens.
However, a March 2 phone call challenged Greiner's motherly instincts yet again.
"I got a call that a pregnant mom cat was taken from a hoarding situation," she said. "I was afraid because I had never had a pregnant mom before."
Greiner said the future mother kitty had "plastered herself to the back of the cage [in fear]. She was in really bad shape: undernourished, dirty, filled with flea dirt."
"The shelter tested her, gave her shots and treated her for the fleas before I took her home."
Three days later at Greiner's home, the soon-to-be mama finally emerged from under the bed. "I named her 'Heidi,' said Greiner, "because she hides."
On March 16, Heidi gave birth to three kittens.
But this time, Greiner faced a different challenge: Two of the kittens had severe birth defects—One was missing a front leg; one had a cleft lip.
The tiny black kitten with the cleft lip, later named Little Lulu, had difficulty nursing at first, Greiner said, "but Heidi was so patient and accepting of me [when I tried to help]. I would put Little Lulu on her.
"I weighed all the babies every single day to be sure they were gaining," Greiner added. "However, Little Lulu was the smallest from the beginning."
Now at normal weight, Little Lulu may have surgery later to close the cleft. "We don't know yet what she's going to look like when she's a full-grown cat," Greiner said. "It's a pretty severe cleft."
And what about the kitten with the missing leg?
"She can get around and run with the best of them," said Greiner about the gray kitten she named Lizzie. "She runs, hops and climbs up on the bed. She's all over the place, a very social girl."
Twelve weeks later Lizzie, Little Lulu and sister Lacy are back at A.D.O.P.T. Mom Heidi is there, too. A.D.O.P.T. counselors hope to find them their "forever homes"—special homes for special-needs kitties.
"We didn't know that [Heidi] would have special-needs kittens," said Greiner, who added that she'd like to be involved with the adoption process. "We're doing everything possible for them; we want to find them the perfect 'forever home' with a loving, caring, understanding family."
Greiner said it would be great if the kittens and their mother could be adopted together in pairs. "I really want Heidi to go with one of her kittens," she said.
In the meantime, Greiner, currently fostering six other kittens, anticipates her next litter. In fact, she said husband Bruce is building her an enclosure so she can accommodate several litters simultaneously.
"I want to do the right thing," said Greiner who has also rescued baby rabbits. "I want to take these unfortunate little creatures and give them love and the chance at life.
"I'd take every single bottle baby that comes across our path," she said. "It's a mother thing."

Tagliatelle with Jamie Oliver
I am going to make them as soon as the temperature goes below 30°C [83°F].
There isn't any Fontina here but Cheddar and Lofabu are already in my fridge with Parmigiano Reggiano waiting to melt together.
Jamie Oliver is my favorite celebrity chef, simply genial, very talented and inspirational.

WOW ... thats the fastest way of making tagliatelle!!! just FAAARRR OUT!!!!!ReplyDelete
l gotta try this tonight!
Post the picture in your blog so i can see it.ReplyDelete
very nice, but I'm not sure about the broccoli.... did you ever try it?ReplyDelete
i am not sure either, in fact i think that broccoli and cheese is a British combo, maybe also American, but i am going to try it anyway just because at least once i try everything [well, almost].ReplyDelete
I quite like the idea of broccoli in a cheesy sauce, I guess that makes me British, eh?ReplyDelete
l will ... but wait because instead of tagliatelle we had to eat rice with japanese CURRY!ReplyDelete
no, that doesn't make you British, it makes you Indian, i mean that you don't have a broccoli tradition in your life, so, anything is okay, if it tastes good to you why not? But i grew up with broccoli without cheese, at the most pecorino may be the right match for broccoli, for sure no parmigiano and not either fontina. But nowadays the world is getting smaller and smaller, strange marriages happen between people born the other side of the planet, so why not marry broccoli and fontina? Still my feeling is that broccoli needs no cheese but sometimes he may likes to make love with pecorino. With fontina it looks like an arranged marriage ah ah ahReplyDelete
Oh, i love Japanese curry, i used to make it so long ago with meat and few vegetables in big chunks. The recipe was from a book that now i think is in the hands of Enrica. Would love to have a look to that book again. Okay so maybe i am going to make the tagliatelle tomorrow 'cos i have not much of anything else to eat.ReplyDelete
Well I followed your "work with what's in the fridge" the other day and made your Alu-Gobi Mac n Cheese with broccoli instead of gobiReplyDelete
So we had the cheesy broccoli ... was good
I often put broccoli in a veg bake for Sims
check out tagliatelle alla "marinara"ReplyDelete
just click on my name ciaooooooo
