The traditional design of Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured enrichment of ornament and outline, Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translation of this significant architectural movement. As Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture, a full complement of bases, cornices and pediments emerged, transforming cabinets, dressers and other case pieces into scaled-down architectural compositions.
Cathedral cherry and exotic avodire veneers are complemented by fine herringbone inlay, with burnished edges and hand rubbed fronts giving a satiny glow to the rich pomegranate finish of Old World. Classic details of sculptural acanthus leaf carvings, a rhythmic lamb's tongue motif and baroque styled custom hardware add to the architectural splendor of this beautifully crafted.

Jug Vase Love
I love it when something so simple makes a big impact. I found a green jug vase for $10 at Homegoods and clipped a couple branches from a tree in our backyard. A perfect springtime centerpiece for our breakfast table.
The runner is from Target.
Easter has totally snuck up on my this year. I just pulled out a couple of Easter decorations last weekend, but they are the same as last year, so I didn't take any new photos. I will keep it simple this year and focus on coloring eggs with James, taking the family to church and brunch, then having an egg hunt with the kiddos. Can't wait!
18 comments:
This is a great idea. I am having a dinner party Thursday night... I might have to snip a few of my branches and place them in a vase for an instant centerpiece.
Your Easter plans sound wonderful. I am sure James will have a ball dyeing Easter eggs. It was always a family tradition to dye them with my dad the night before Easter.- CourtneyApril 5, 2012 at 4:03 PM
I have the same vase from HomeGoods! Love it! Love your blog too. :)

00Goldman SuchsMcWell, as long as Goldman Suchs gets their Christmas bonuses next year I'm fine with furloughs, rifs, famine, etc. I find it funny how folks try to blame one side or the other when clearly both parties are bought off by Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, etc. How about that bombing Libya? How did that turn out? Now "revolution" is all over North Africa with Touaregs leaving Libya for Mali, Chad, etc. Now we're sending U.S. soldiers to those countries as well. You can bet Lockheed Martin and friends are doling out the cash on Congress right now so they don't get cut. That basically leaves Federal employees, Social Security, Medicare, etc. Maybe then we can get a bill passed in Congress to actually help the American people. Only problem is, the Congress will lard up with the pork and we'll only get a few million (like the Sandy relief folks) and billions will go to each Congressman/woman's best buds.35252{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0The Congress wants spedning cuts...JohnEwell here they are...all they have to do is let these cuts become law.

They are fair and spread equally across the entire government. They will address the Republicans concern about "real" spending cuts. The bill is already law..heck they can take another vacation.

City police said Monday they fear foul play in the disappearance of a North Carolina teen who went missing while spending Christmas break with relatives in Baltimore.
Phylicia Barnes, 16, was reported missing on Dec. 28. Investigators said she disappeared from the Reisterstown Square Apartments in the 6500 block of Eberle Drive last week, an area that is now awash in fliers with her picture.
Barnes had a scheduled flight to North Carolina on Monday morning which she did not take.
Police said Barnes who is from Monroe, N.C., has no history of criminal activity or running away from family.
"Detectives are growing increasingly concerned with this disappearance and now suspect foul play, possibly abduction," police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in an e-mail. "The victim left various personal affects prior disappearance and investigators have no leads."
Guglielmi said city police are seeking national assistance in the case.
"It is likely that she may have been taken outside the state of Maryland," Guglielmi said.
The Baltimore City Police Department's homicide section is investigating.
On Saturday, family and friends gathered to support each other and plea for the honor roll student's safe return.
"I know she's traumatized right now. She's scared out of her mind right now. She's a little innocent girl who does not do any harm to anyone," said the girl's mother, Janice Stallings.

Finding Surprising Values on Our Mercedes-Benz AMG Vehicles
Many of our clients like to start their research by comparing all their options. That means checking the availability and pricing of used cars (from Mercedes to all the other possibiliites). In working through all those options, you may discover that the best car for you may actually be a car from our hand-selected, nearly-new inventory.
The Other Luxury Vehicles Story
You may also find that exploring our full inventory from Mercedes Benz and beyond will help you imagine more options than you thought you had? Searching our used inventory provides you a steady supply of BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Land Rover and other attractive vehicles to consider. Most of this "not only Mercedes" used car inventory comes directly from vehicle trades that get included in the delivery of a new Mercedes Benz.
In fact, calling these particular vehicles "used cars" understates their quality and value. In most cases, these cars, trucks, and SUVs are practically new. The original factory warranty may still be in effect. Many of our customer find that these cars provide unique opportunities for unexpectedly low prices and unbeatable values.
The Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Story
Few people realize that buying a Mercedes-Benz CPO vehicle, also provides a generous seven day/500 mile Exchange Privilege. If you are not satisfied, just return your CPO vehicle within seven days/500 miles (whichever comes first), and Mercedes-Benz of Encino will exchange it with another CPO vehicle of equal value—or even greater value, if the buyer wishes to pay the difference.

Design Article
The first big difference is that at the end of the suggested flow you have ...
An interesting idea and really helpful. What would be the differences of this ...
Speeding power estimation from weeks to hours
Ophir Turbovich, Cambridge Silicon Radio and Thomas Li, SpringSoft
The new methodology developed jointly by CSR and SpringSoft:
- Generates accurate gate-level waveforms automatically;
- Enables design teams to correlate and analyze results in the RTL environment, eliminating the necessity to bring up the gate-level environment;
- Eliminates the necessity to simulate from time zero for every power analysis run; and
- Imposes no changes on the established power estimation methodology and tool flow.
It combines Springsoft's established Siloti Visibility Automation System with CSR-generated map files that use CSR scripts on regular synthesis and place and route tools. Like some emulation and FPGA design tools, the visibility automation system can extract full waveforms from essential signal waveforms (flip-flops and input). In addition, it maps every gate-level flip-flop to the original flip-flop in the RTL. The combination of these features is used to extract the essential signals from the RTL. The result is a gate-level waveform that is identical (or almost identical) to the GTL waveform derived from GTL simulation. Thus, it can be used to derive the toggle rate of every port of every cell in the netlist — precisely the data needed for accurate power estimation.
This ability to automatically generate port activity data significantly reduces both the time and the effort to generate the gate-level waveforms, and eliminates the need to bring up the gate-level testbench environment. After waveform generation, power consumption is analyzed using CSR's established power estimation flow — the new methodology requires no changes to it.
Using the new methodology, gate-level waveforms can be generated for every relevant scope and time interval, eliminating the need to run simulation from time zero. It can also be applied in verification runs where internal testbench stubs are used to drive the design, for example a CPU stub instead of the CPU RTL.
Visibility automation technology
The new methodology employs two main tool features — "What-if Replay" and "Correlation" — to re-run gate-level simulation with RTL simulation waveforms as the input stimuli.
"What-if Replay" re-simulates the user-specified design block with the previously-generated waveform database as the input stimulus. The user can also specify the time window for the simulation.
"Correlation" maps the signals from the RTL to the gate level and vice versa. For power analysis, this technology is used to map the RTL signal waveform to the gate-level signals in order to drive the re-simulation.
The waveform database — known as the Fast Signal Database (FSDB) — is an open component in SpringSoft's Verdi Automated Debug System, and is supported by many third-party tools.
Just as the new methodology requires no changes to CSR's power estimation methodology, so the visibility automation technology requires no changes to CSR's tool flow. The flow continues to use physical design tools such as Synopsys' Design Compiler, IC Compiler, and PrimeTime PX, while simulation continues to use tools such as the Cadence Incisive Unified Simulator.
The visibility automation tool inputs, mapping file generation and execution flow are as follows:
Tool inputs
The tool uses the following input data in order to generate gate-level waveforms (see also figure 1):
- RTL FSDB with waveforms from RTL simulation, including the scope that must be regenerated.
- Gate-level to RTL mapping file that points from every essential gate-level signal to the corresponding RTL signal in the RTL FSDB. The user can also map the signal to constant values to tie it to a fixed value during the re-simulation.
- Gate-level file list containing the commands for compiling the gate-level netlist (minus any testbench). The file can also include "defines" and any other compilation flags.
- Configuration file that specifies the user settings for the What-If Replay run. Key parameters include:
- The gate-level design scope on which the simulation is executed and from which the gate-level waveform is generated
- The time scope with start and end times of the gate-level waveforms
- The simulation compile script with simulation compile settings
- The simulation run script with simulation run settings
- The SDF file with the path to be used, if any
Figure 1: Tool inputs and flow
Mapping file generation
The mapping file generation tool — developed by CSR — contains both flip-flop mapping and input mapping.
Flip-flop mapping can be derived from the output of an equivalence checking tool or that of the synthesis/place and route tool. For example, in Synopsys Design Compiler, the saif_map command generates an output file which contains all of the flip-flop mappings.
Input mapping at the gate level is simple when gate-level hierarchies are maintained. When they are not maintained, it is necessary to map the inputs at the top level of the hierarchy, which are maintained just like the top level of a physical design macro. In this case, it is sufficient to map the clocks, design-for-test (DFT) signals such as built-in self-test (BIST), and scan, as well as specific control signals. This mapping drives all of the appropriate clock and control inputs to the desired scope. It also loses some data at the interfaces, such as output from memories until the first sample, and toggling information from the input to the first sampling flop. However, this loss has a negligible effect on the total power estimation.
Execution flow
- The execution flow has three stages: extract, compile and simulate.
- In the extract phase, the tool uses the input files and user settings to generate two main components:
New design-under-test (DUT) source files by performing design extraction for the selected scope. This is the DUT for the re-simulation.
New testbench files which use the RTL simulation result (FSDB) as input stimulus to drive the extracted DUT in re-simulation.
The design is then ready for compilation and re-simulation. The tool automatically drives the compilation and then launches the simulation task. Using common simulation tools such as Synopsys VCS and Cadence Incisive Unified Simulator (IUS), simulation of the design compiled in the compile phase generates the waveform.
After generation of the gate-level waveform within the scope and time range of interest, it can be processed by any popular power estimation tool. If a given power estimation tool cannot accept FSDB directly as the input, there are utilities that can convert FSDB outputs to other formats such as VCD and SAIF files, which can be used in any power estimation tool.
Next: Analysis results
An interesting idea and really helpful. What would be the differences of this flow compared to the flow when RTL VCD along with gate-level netlist is loaded into Primetime PX and tool propagates RTL activities into gate nodes?
The first big difference is that at the end of the suggested flow you have waveform file that you can use for other needs too (and other tools too)…
Also – while working with PTPX with RTL VCD you must make sure that only Flip-Flops are mapped between RTL to netlist. Usually more than Flip-Flops are mapped, and since the RTL simulation is zero delay simulation, the propagation is not done well (and the results are not accurate). It is mostly critical and problematic around adders and multipliers, but not only.
The suggested flow can overcome partial design – RTL which contain stubs or other testbench that replace part of the RTL. You can't overcome this in PTPX.
In general – you must be PTPX expert to be able to run with RTL VCD, and it is not accurate. In the SpringSoft flow anyone can generate netlist VCD/SAIF, and no need to be an expert to run it on PTPX.
Another issue – PTPX runs in this mode taking too much time. While generating GTL waveform in the new flow took about 1 hour, and the total power estimation was 2 hours, using this on PTPX (when it can be done) took more than 24 hours.

A charley horse is the common name for a muscle spasm, especially in the leg. Muscle spasms can occur in any muscle in the body. When a muscle is in spasm, it contracts without your control and does not relax.
Muscle spasms often occur when a muscle is overused or injured. Working out when you haven't had enough fluids (you're dehydrated) or when you have low levels of minerals such as potassium or calcium can also make you more likely to have muscle spasms.
Some spasms occur because the nerve that connects to a muscle is irritated. The classic example is a herniated disk irritating spinal nerves as they exit the back, causing pain and spasm.
Spasms in the calf often occur while kicking during swimming, and can also occur at night while you're in bed. Upper leg spasms are more common with running or jumping activities. Spasm in the neck (cervical spine) can be a sign of stress.
When a muscle goes into spasm it feels very tight and is sometimes described as a knot. The pain can be severe.
Your health care provider can diagnose muscle spasms by the presence of tight or hard muscles that are very tender to the touch. There are no imaging studies or blood tests that can diagnose this condition. If the spasm is caused by nerve irritation, such as in the back, an MRI may be helpful to find the cause of the irritation.
At the first sign of a muscle spasm, stop your activity and try stretching and massaging the affected muscle. Heat will relax the muscle at first, although ice may be helpful after the first spasm and when the pain has improved. If the muscle is still sore, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications can help with pain. In more severe cases, your health care provider can prescribe antispasm medications.
After you get treated, your health care provider should look for the cause of the spasm so that it doesn't recur. If an irritated nerve is involved, you might need physical therapy or even surgery.
The most common cause of muscle cramps during sports activity is dehydration. Often, drinking water or sports drinks will ease the cramping. However, drinking water alone at times is not sufficient. Salt tablets or sports drinks that can replenish loss minerals can be helpful.
Muscle spasms will get better with rest and time. The outlook is excellent for most people. Proper training techniques should prevent spasms from occurring regularly. If an irritated nerve caused the spasm, you might need more treatment and results can vary.
If you have a muscle spasm with severe pain, contact your health care provider. . If you have weakness with your muscle spasm, contact your health care provider.
Even if your spasms are not severe, your health care provider can help you change your exercise program to reduce the risk of spasms in the future.

1. | catholic school | ||
the place where catholic kids go to school because their parents make them. they wear uniforms, and dont care what they look like. they are cheating experts, and don't act catholic at all. they dont care what the public school kids think because theyre having plenty of fun. once you go to a catholic school, your a catholic school kid forever. public school kid: howd you pass biology?
catholic school kid: the kid next to me was smart. |
2. | Catholic school | ||
First off, anyone who is going to leave uneducated comments, should get an education. Catholic school is where parents may try to send their kids for a better education and since when was wanting a better education a bad thing? sure catholic school education is almost the same as anywhere else. Except for God is actually recognized, and a few other USUALLY positive qualities. School is very similar whether its millitary, public, private, or catholic. Uh, if you havent forgotten, the PURPOSE of school is EDUCATION. Not whether the kids wear uniforms or not or whatever else you concern your life with. Jealous Misguided person : Ew. Catholic school. They think their better than everyone else.
Wereas in real life they're just normal people with normal lives like everyone else in every other kind of school Open minded person : Uh, Catholic School is just like were you go. Don't be a hater. |
3. | Catholic school | ||
It's a school...except with uniforms that most kids find annoying, but are helpful in that you never have to bother about picking out an outfit to wear for the day. Alot of the times the uniform involves khaki pants and plaid skirts, but there's exceptions. There's also religon class and the occasinal Catholic mass that normally takes place in either the school gym or a church located on school grounds. In the morning, the Pledge of Allegiance is said along with a short prayer, and the normal morning announcements.
Also, despite popular belief, there aren't usually nuns walking around hitting children with rulers and no, not everyone who attends a Catholic school is snobby/preppy/stuckup/a self-righteous Catholic/whatever stereotype you can come up with. Usually, the majority of the student population of a Cahtolic school are of the Catholic faith, but there are Catholic schools that have many non-Catholic students that come from other faiths/no faith at all and are only attending the school because they or their parents think they'll get the best education there. As for the quality of education in a Catholic school, it all just depends on the student himself/herself. It's up to the student to decide exactly where to be educated, whether it be Home-schooling, Catholic school, Private school, or Public school. In short, Catholic schools, Public schools, and non-religious Private schools are relatively the same, just with a few differences. |
4. | catholic school | ||
I go to Catholic school, what I like best about it is the uniforms (much less discrimination based on clothing) and the sense of community you feel...and that you can actually mention God. Students at Catholic school really aren't that different from public school students, though. btw there are preppy and snobby people everywhere, Catholic school or not.
5. | catholic school | ||
A school that makes you wear uniforms , go to church, and take religion class. 50% white, 47.5% filipino, 2.5% latino.
The cause of approximately 40% of all atheists. my parents sent me to catholic school as a kid. im an atheist now
6. | Catholic School | ||
A school with uniforms, and no nuns or priests wandering around the hallways. They have religion class, which is a waste of time becasue half the people that attend catholic high schools don't give a shit about God. Catholic schools are much like normal schools, but, they have better weed and more drunk people at the school dances. People that attend catholic school aren't always catholic.. it doesn't matter, people that work at the school hardly ever believe in God. Religion teachers don't care if you believe in Jesus or not... they just want their paychecks. Catholic Schools are full or stoners, losers, emos, preps, jocks and bitches. So what's the difference between Catholic Schools and Public schools? Catholic schools have SAINT in front of there name, and have God on there side. Public school have satan... according to God. biblebitch= "I go to a catholic school, excuse me as I whore my way around the entire football team and snort coke!"
publicebitch" i go to a public school, excuse me as i sleep with the entire football team and smoke weed." |
7. | catholic school | ||
a catholic school is a school that is 90% white and 10% asian. generally kids cheat their way through and are convinced that they are smart and religious when in reality they're not. wow kids from catholic school are douche bags.

I am looking for a new panel but have limited dollars. I know this is an older model but DJ in Melbourne still have new sets at discounted price of $700.
I dont really care about 3d, smart or media playback capability. My existing 2 panels are 768p 50inch pana and samsung panels which I have been more than happy with but due to a family split I am back in the market for a new panel.
Does this panel at this price still stack up against current offerings? eg -I know I can get a 50inch LG smart / 3d for not much more but am more interested in picture quality than the extra capabilities I know I wont use much. Any advice appreciated.

The S20 was a fairly cheap set from Panasonic. It's not a bad buy at $700, but for $800 you can get the newer u30 or maybe push for a UT30 model.

Thanks Mick - will look further. It's been a while since i've researched and just trying to get a feel for values.
Posted 06 January 2012 - 07:08 AM
Yeah Hodge i concur with diesel for sure,prices will keep going lower as CHina is going to flood our shores with there electronics more then ever this year so hopefully you can grab a U30 for around the same price but yeah maybe steer clear of that s20a mate as you'll do better for the same if not a little bit more

Tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world after water, and Camellia sinensis -- the plant from which it is derived -- is cultivated on more than six million acres (2.4 million hectares) around the globe. But how is it grown, and what do you and your customers know about the tea you sell?
This document profiles five major tourism businesses in Latin America that are working towards sustainability. Four hotels and one tour operator that have participated in the Rainforest Alliance's sustainable tourism program present their main challenges and achievements, including their relationships with indigenous cultures, participation in community development activities, efforts to conserve biodiversity and their inclusion of local women in tourism initiatives.
In this chapter from the book Dream of a Nation, Tensie Whelan discusses the ways that sustainable agriculture and forestry are essential to meet the needs of our planet's rapidly growing population.
Help your students understand the unprecedented challenges facing our Earth -- and empower and inspire them to help protect it. The Rainforest Alliance makes it simple. Recognizing that teachers are continually challenged to meet intense curricular demands using limited resources, we have created comprehensive education tools to help you connect your kids to conservation.

At 62, Kathy Baker juggles a busy schedule on screens big and small, and stage. She plays part of a quartet in Joanna Murray-Smith's provocative comedy "The Gift" at the Geffen Playhouse, which opens Wednesday. Her upcoming films include "Saving Mr. Banks" and "Model Home."
"The Gift" is a play about two couples, and you play half of one of them as well as a kind of narrator. But this is a comedy, and you're not really known for that. Was comedy on your to-do list?
I love to do comedy, and I don't think of things as drama or comedy. I think that if it's a funny line, it's a funny line. If it's a funny moment, it's a funny moment. I try to give all my characters a sense of humor, so I guess I feel like I have done comedy, but maybe I'm better known for drama. I loved the funny moments in "Edward Scissorhands," and I did lots of comedies when I started out in the theater. Any challenge is on my list, of course.
What else intrigued you about this play? Did you see Joanna Murray-Smith's "The Female of the Species" at the Geffen in 2010?
I did not. I did not know Joanna Murray-Smith's work before, and when I read it, I thought it was so beautifully written, so smart. I was actually afraid of it. The part is so big, I never leave the stage. I talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, and I was terrified of it. And then I read it again that weekend and I realized I was being kind of silly.
How did you get over your stage fright?
I guess just diving in and doing it, and my director, Maria Aitkin, is one of the best directors I've ever had. She gives me the confidence to fall off the building, and she'll catch me. And the cast as well — the four of us are quite bonded now.
You have tons of experience but do you find theater scarier than camera work, where you can always do another take?
I think it depends on the role, what's scarier, but I find this particularly scary because as I get older, I worry about my memory and my stamina. I worry about my creaky physicality. There are a couple of physical things we have to do in the play that I was worried about. It really depends on what's scarier — to walk on a set and know you have to hold your own against Tom Hanks, or if you're going to do an hour-and-a-half play in front of 500 people.
That's a nice problem to have, especially when you're an older woman in entertainment.
Exactly. Maybe we should say the scary thing is to not have those chances.
Other women in Hollywood have told me that the industry disappears for them at 40 until they can play older roles at 50, and yet you've been working all along. Do you feel that your film career is having a renaissance?
I've always believed that if you are willing to play your age that you will work, so it's the thing of continuing to play your age and accepting it when you're younger and you suddenly realize, oh, now I'm playing the mom, oh, I'm playing the grandma. Some parts are smaller.
Then it's a tactical decision for you not to have plastic surgery.
Oh, yeah. I'd like to be the only actress in America to not have plastic surgery. I worry about my face not having expression. I've never been known for glamour, so it's probably easier for me than it is for someone who has been known for her incredible beauty and glamour. I always wanted to be Geraldine Page, who was just a fabulous actress with just a nice, normal, expressive face.
Your big break was actually in the theater, when you originated the role of May in Sam Shepard's "Fool for Love" in 1983. Soon after that, you took a 20-year break from the stage.
Yeah, I had kids. I found it easier to do film and television with kids. Also, you don't earn any money. I was supporting my family, and luckily I was able to keep working.
So what brought you back to the theater in 2006 when you joined the cast of Tracy Letts' "Man From Nebraska" at South Coast Rep?
That was just a great offer. Tracy Letts was so much on my mind with "August: Osage County." It was a Tracy Letts play, and it was Billy Friedkin directing. I always wanted to work at South Coast, so I wanted to see if I could still do it.
Is this your stage debut in Los Angeles then?
Boy, that never occurred to me. Get out! That's crazy. Now I'm even more nervous. Thanks.
I'm always impressed by older actors who memorize so much dialogue. Do you have any special techniques?
No, I was worried about that as I got older. My doctor told me that the ability to memorize is a different part of your brain than the ability to remember your friend's name when you see them on the street. But those other things.... I'm always saying to my husband, "Honey, will you hand me the thingy because I have to do the dealy-bob," but I somehow can remember lines.
So what's coming up for you? You mentioned Tom Hanks.
I have a small part in this film, "Saving Mr. Banks." Tiny, tiny part. I play a secretary. We were in San Francisco recently and there's a wonderful Walt Disney museum in the Presidio. We saw the exhibit about the "Mary Poppins" thing and how it took 30 years for Walt Disney to get [author] P.L. Travers to say yes [to the film]. That's what the story's about, how long it took Walt Disney [Hanks] to get P.L. Travers, played by Emma Thompson, to agree to give him the rights to the movie. She didn't want animation, she didn't want a musical.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Haugen deserves the win
October 12, 2012 · Updated 4:19 PM
To the editor:
Attention Whidbeyites:
We need Mary Margaret Haugen more than ever. Haugen deserves to be re-elected on the merits of her record, but thinking somewhat selfishly, we need Haugen to do one more big favor for us, then she can retire if she wants. We need a new Mukilteo ferry terminal and that is going to take a knowledgeable negotiator with some clout. Haugen, as chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, is in the perfect position to be that advocate, as she's demonstrated on ferry issues several times over. Recently, her efforts have helped bring ferry work to Nichols Brothers.
The Mukilteo terminal needs replacing for several reasons. (1) It is only a single slip, so one ramming or major problem would have us sailing to Edmonds. (2) There is no parking and Mukilteo officials feel no need to accommodate the ferry users. (The new site has lots of room). (3) The new location gives much closer service to the commuter train. (4) A new terminal would have overhead passenger loading, shrinking trip times and allowing more efficient two boat use.(5) A convenient multi-modal, terminal-transportation hub will help island commuters continue to live here as well as encouraging tourists to come.
We have a small window of opportunity to get this done. With past funding sources gone (Motor Vehicle Excise Tax), and shrinking revenues of gas tax with more fuel-efficient cars, and the rest of the state saying ferries should be funded entirely by users, Haugen is our best bet, sitting as she is in a position of power as the chair of Senate Transportation Committee.
In this swing district (evenly divided between Rs and Ds), she has a tough race on her hands. Her opponent has access to almost unlimited national funds thanks to the Citizens United ruling. Haugen has already had a number of highly inaccurate and negative mailers run against her, and I'll guess we haven't seen anything yet. She deserves re-election based on her record, her concern for the well being of this whole district and the unique position she is in to influence ferry issues.

Cavaliers 113, Bucks 108: New guys help Cavs rally from 20 down
Cavaliers coach Byron Scott put an unorthodox unit out on the floor to start the fourth quarter.
Many were shaking their heads at the five players who had never been on the floor together.
But it was Scott and the Cavs who had the last laugh in their 113-108 come-from-behind victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday before an announced crowd of 15,098 at Quicken Loans Arena.
Newly acquired center Marreese Speights and shooting guard Wayne Ellington, playing in their first game for the Cavs since Tuesday's four-player trade with Memphis, were on the floor to start the fourth. They were joined by power forward Luke Walton and guards Shaun Livingston and Daniel Gibson.
"Thank God for our second unit tonight," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "They won the game for us."
The Cavs (12-32) whittled down a 20-point second-half deficit. Ellington's 3-pointer with 6 minutes, 31 seconds left in the game handed the Cavs a 96-95 advantage they never relinquished.
They started the fourth on a 15-5 run. When the fourth quarter was done, they had outscored the Bucks, 32-18.
The 6-foot-10, 255-pound Speights contributed 10 points and six rebounds and two steals. Scott was most impressed with his ability to communicate on defense — a season-long problem.
"I had no idea," Scott said. "(Big men) see everything that happens on the floor. They are the last line of defense. Mo did a heck of a job communicating."
Speights has had three big games against the Bucks this season, the first two when he played for Memphis. Continued...
"I told them, 'Different team. Same results.' " he said.
"We got stops and started to make some shots. I like playing with the second unit. They all know how to play defense. I'm glad coached rolled with us."
Ellington had just the one field goal, but defended Bucks swingman Mike Dunleavy, who had just four points.
"Both of those guys were big," Scott said. "Wayne did a terrific job on Mike Dunleavy. He challenged his shots. They helped us win this game tonight."
All-Star guard Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 35 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals. He was 12 of 17 from the field, 2 of 3 from the 3-point line.
"The bench came in and gave us energy," Irving said. "It was fun to watch."
And watch he did for most of the fourth. He didn't enter the final quarter until 4:01 remained in the game. He still scored eight points in those four minutes.
The Bucks (22-19) shot 14 of 28 from the 3-point line. After three quarters, they outscored the Cavs from behind the arc, 36-9.
Power forward Ersan Ilyasova was scorching hot in the first half. It was Walton who was credited with slowing him down in the fourth.
"Luke was showing what game plan was," Scott said. "He was showing and communicating. Our biggest thing (had been) lack of communication," Continued...
The 6-10 forward had 15 of his team-high 30 points in the second quarter. He made 6 of 8 from the field, 3 of 4 from the arc, in the second. The Bucks led at halftime, 59-50.
The Cavs also got a season-high 12 points and three assists from Livingston, and five points, five rebounds and seven assists from Walton.
Power forward Tristan Thompson had 18 points, six rebounds and three blocks for the Cavs, who have now won three of their last four games. They've also won three in a row at home.
Guard Monta Ellis had 21 points, six rebounds, nine assists and two steals for the Bucks. Sidekick Brandon Jennings, snubbed for the All-Star Game, added 14 points and a game-high 12 assists.

OMG PD: Accidental Starbucks Shooting, Mayor's Gun Stolen
We compile the odd, unusual "oh my gosh" police items from throughout the Tampa Bay region.
Forget the shot of espresso. A woman having coffee at Starbucks in Tyrone Square Mall in St. Petersburg this past weekend was shot in the calf when her friend's gun discharged from inside her purse. According to an article in the Tampa Bay Times, 38-year-old Amiee Peterson of Pinellas Park did not even realize that she had been shot until she saw blood oozing from her leg. Her friend, 51-year-old Pamela Back, also of Pinellas Park, told police that she kept the gun in her purse, but had never taken it out or cleaned it, since her father had given her the .25 caliber firearm. Two men are charged with stealing used cooking and fryer grease from a Wendy's in Sarasota and may be responsible for similar crimes in Pinellas County, authorities …

A blast from the past will hit the Sampson Community Theatre stage this Friday night. The actors will produce seven lively and funny skits from the famous 'The Carol Burnett Show' in their rendition of the famous television program from the 1970s.
The curtain is set to rise Friday night. Shows will run Fridays and Saturdays, Aug. 24, 25, 31 and Sept. 1 at 8 p.m. and Sundays, Aug. 26 and Sunday, Sept. 2 at 3 p.m.Ticket prices are the customary $10 for general admission and $8 for seniors and students.
Show director G. Wayne Melvin is expecting the production to appeal to many of the older citizens as they reminisce on the memories of the show's stars Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vickie Lawrence, Lyle Waggoner and Tim Conway. Local actors will be filling the roles those actors portrayed in the original show as they reproduce about seven skits from the show.
"Carol Burnett has taken about 100 of the skits they did on the show, published them and made them accessible to small theater groups, high schools, colleges and other small groups for production," Melvin explained.
"I am excited for the show to get under way. We have three totally new actors that will be appearing on the Sampson Community Theatre stage for the first time. In fact, it is the first time they have ever performed on stage. The show should be very entertaining to all who come. Some of the humor is a little dated for today's youth but I think they still might enjoy it," added the director.
Melvin has also cast himself in several of the skits. Lila Maxwell, Sue Blanchard and Bettie Williams will appear for the first time. Other more familiar faces will includ Lisa Cain, Bruce Creech, Guy Padgett, Josh Owens, Sue Winfrey, Gary Wilson, Jessica Watts, and Jack and Abigail Whipkee.
"The skits will range in length from about two to three minutes up to 10 minutes. And the show will be fast-paced. We hope everyone will come out and support the community theatre and have a very enjoyable evening with us," remarked Melvin.
The cast is excited about the production and shared their feelings during a recent interview.
"This is my very first ever play," shared Maxwell. "It is something I had on my bucket list to do. I have found the experience very enjoyable and that I love acting.It is something totally different from anything I have ever done and I enjoy trying different things," expressed the novice actor.
Maxwell and Wilson will perform the skit entitled "Bonnie and Clod," a takeoff on Bonnie and Clyde, but Clod is definitely not as successful as Clyde in the crime business.
Both Blanchard and Williams also shared that being in a performance on the SCT stage was on their bucket lists. They will perform in the skit about a coffee commercial where things tend to get out of hand.
"This skit is so not me, but it is so much fun playing the part," shared Blancahrd. "The practices are exactly what I expected, and it is fun. Being someone you are not — as the county club, garden club ladies we play in the skit are so different from what I am in real life — makes it fun. Sometimes you just want to be a little bad," explained Blanchard.
"My biggest fear is when I get in front of the large audience I will freeze. It is easy in front of everyone here but I think it will be different when the curtain goes up that first time. But I am looking forward to it," added Blanchard.
Williams is originally from Clinton but moved away to Rhode Island for 40 years and recently moved back home. She said she had always wanted to become active in the local theatre. She is an SCT patron but decided to take it a step further and get up on stage.
"I am totally enjoying doing this skit with Sue. She and I get a chance to be someone we are not and we really are able to get into it as the skit's plot develops. It really is funny. I am not sure I realized how much actors have to put into rehearsal and preparing, to put a play on stage. I certainly have learned a lot and have a deeper respect for actors now. I never realized we would be here most every night rehearsing," stated Williams.
Owens is certainly no stranger to SCT. The second year Campbell Divinity School student shared that he thought it would be something good to do and the timing was right just before he returned to school.
"I get to play a farm hand who takes a likin' to the farmer's mail order bride. It was a part played by Lyle Waggoner, and it is a lot of fun playing this role," said Owens.
Guy Padgett is the farmer who is bit older than his mail order bride but he brings his experience and humor to the stage in the role.
"I remember watching The Carol Burnett Show and I just loved it then and I love it now. This skit is a lot of fun and I am so appreciative to have Josh playing in the skit with me. I am just happy to be a part of this production," cited Padgett.
Watts is a freshman at Mount Olive College. She is not only performing in a skit, she is also Melvin's assistant director.
"I wanted something to do this summer while I was waiting to go to school and this fit the bill. Being on stage and working in the theater helps you to better understand the real world. You learn to interact with people by being a part of what we do here. Acting makes your life more interesting and you might even learn something from it. I am looking forward to Friday and getting to finally perform for the public," expressed Watts.
Creech is another veteran actor of SCT. He will portray the part of a dentist working on his very first patient, even using a textbook to ensure he does the procedure correctly, yet it is obvious he is very inept as a dentist.
"This skit is one of the funniest even though it is very short. I hope those who make it to our show will be able to enjoy the production. It is a different concept for the SCT but hopefully the actors will be able to pull it off," stated Creech.
Winfrey blamed Tom Wilbur for getting her started on stage at the SCT.
"It is nice to do something different. Tom talked me into trying it and I found it a lot of fun. I wish more people would take the step to give it a try. It is a great outlet to be someone you are not. It is a high energy activity but it is very enjoyable. I am looking for the curtain's rise on Friday night," remarked Winfrey.
"This is my 28th production, but who is counting," said Wilson with a slight laugh. "We are going to have to really ham it up on stage if this is going to be a funny show that is should be. We have a lot to live up to as we attempt to portray some of the funniest scenes to ever appear on television when the aired on The Carol Burnett Show, but we are going to give it our best," expressed the veteran actor.

With all precincts in three counties reporting, the unofficial results showed Dugan with 3,299 votes, or 87.6 percent, to Libertarian Party challenger James Camp's 467 votes, or 12.4 percent.
Voter turnout was low, with less than 4 percent of eligible voters in the district casting ballots.
"I'm happy with the results, and it says to me that the voters in District 30 have enough faith in me to be their voice in Atlanta," Dugan said after the votes were counted Tuesday night. "I'm looking forward to serving, and I'm ready to start doing the job."
Dugan, a first-time office seeker, will replace Bill Hamrick who resigned the seat in September to accept an appointment to a Coweta District Superior Court judgeship. Dugan will be sworn into office Monday, in time to catch the opening gavel of the Georgia General Assembly.
Camp congratulated Dugan and said, "He's a good man and will serve District 30 well."
Commenting on his overwhelming loss, Camp added, "I had pretty much the same conservative message that Dugan had, but people can't get away from the two-party establishment that dominates elections."
He said he currently has no plans to run for office in the future.
Dugan won all 26 precincts in Carroll County, with the closest vote being in Camp's Temple County precinct, where Dugan won by a two-to-one margin, 54-27 votes.
In Carroll County, Dugan had 2,620 votes, or 89.5 percent, to Camp's 308 votes, or 10.5 percent. There was one write-in vote in Carroll County. The voter turnout in Carroll County was about 4.9 percent.
In Douglas County, Dugan had 446 votes, or 81.4 percent, to Camp's 102 votes, or 18.6 percent. The voter turnout was about 2.7 percent.
In Paulding County, Dugan had 233 votes, or 80.3 percent, to Camp's 57 votes, or 19.7 percent. The voter turnout was about 1.4 percent.
Dugan, a construction contractor and retired military officer, repeated his platform message throughout the campaign process, which started last September, saying he's a conservative Republican with the same core values shared by most of the people in the district.
"I'm still pushing for term limits and caps on contributions," he said. "I pledge to hold town hall meetings once a month in different parts of the district."
Camp, a Temple IT technician, directed his campaign toward reaching what he termed the "super voters," those who cast ballots in every primary, general and special election and every runoff.
"I'm asking them to come out and vote and ask their friends and family members to vote," he said last weekend. "I'm telling them this election could come down to whether the Republicans will get a 'super majority' in the Senate. With a super majority (two-thirds), they can pass any agenda they want and get it through without opposition. That takes away the will of the people and puts it in the hands of the party bosses."
The long path to the state Senate seat began with a Nov. 6 special Republican primary, with four candidates seeking the seat being vacated by Hamrick. Former state Rep. Bill Hembree of Winston was the top vote getter in that election, with 48.3 percent of the vote, but lost to second-place finisher Dugan in the Dec. 4 runoff.
As a third-party candidate, Camp qualified early for the Jan. 8 special general ballot and did not have to participate in the earlier Republican contests.

Community meetings target traffic cameras, schools, guns
February 11, 2013 · 4:42 PM
From staff reports:
The Federal Way Police Department is inviting the community to the first of three "Chief's Call" community meetings.
The first meeting will run 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 28 at the Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club, 3583 SW 320th St. Topics that will be covered at all three meetings this year are red light and school zone photo enforcement; school safety; gun safety; and active shooter situations.
The other two meetings are scheduled for May and September. Those meetings will be held in the northern and southern parts of the city, respectively. Dates and locations will be announced.
According to the city, a Chief's Call group has existed within the police department since 2001. Chief Brian Wilson wants to change the format and make it more community oriented. Wilson and other senior FWPD personnel will be present to lead these conversations and answer questions. Members of the department's Crime Prevention Education and Analyst team will also be present, according to the city.
"I look forward to going into our neighborhood communities and discussing the topics that are in the headlines, and concern our citizens daily," Wilson said in a news release. "We appreciate the opportunity to continue and foster excellent partnerships."
