While 3 may not seem like a significant number in an organization of 1.2M, but when it amounts to what makes it ⅓ of your active membership when they are inducted as members of the RC Portland-Westside, it is significant and notable.
On Tuesday evening, April 1, 2014 starting at 6:30, we gather at the Old Spaghetti Factory in Tanasbourne to bring 2 active and one honorary member into the fold.
Ashley Lanson, recent RYLA recipient, PCC graduate and student will not only become a very young Rotarian, but she'll also be our Young Professionals Service Director. Ashley has her own blanket making business and is pursuing her bachelor's degree.
Adam Ross Branch bleeds Rotarian red, coming from a family of Rotarians, with his grandfather being a charter member of the Roseburg Club in District 5110. Adam has a background in finance and insurance. he and his wife Sarah and their two children call Hillsboro home. Adam has an interest in developing membership so he will take over that chair.
Bilbo (yes Baggins) Ballard is my son of almost 40 years. When I made the decision to ride across country on the "Pledge-A-Penny to End Polio Now Bicycle Odyssey" last year, he offered to keep me company. 2,901 miles in 55 days, raising $2,700 and meeting several family members most for the first time later, we returned to the great northwest.
Bilbo has 5 sons ranging in age 17-3 and he is settling his affairs so he can spend more time with them.
Being an honorary member is of great pride to him and an important step in making the commitment to put Service Above Self.

Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff has pledged a nationwide overhaul of public transportation, improved funding for schools and a crackdown on corruption in response to sometimes violent anti-government protests that have roiled the country for the past week.
In a 10-minute address broadcast on Friday, Rousseff broke her silence on the protests, saying she would spend more money on public transportation and divert some of the country's oil revenues to pay for education, The Associated Press reported. She also addressed widespread anger over government corruption.

It was once the cattle farm of a former congressman, but now his stately house in the western Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul is a burned-out shell. Thatch huts are being built in the shade of flowering palm trees. Once the purview of one farmer's family, it now is occupied by dozens of indigenous ones.
Indian activists say this is just the beginning.
Originally published on Fri June 21, 2013 7:34 pm
By some estimates, about a million people marched in cities across Brazil on Thursday, airing a wide array of grievances. As O Globo frames it, it was a day marked by violent demonstrations, vandalism and intense clashes with military police.
Originally published on Wed June 19, 2013 9:33 am
For a second night in a row, tens of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets to protest everything from the cost of living to government corruption.
The AP reports that during Tuesday's demonstrations:

Cruelty-Free Leather Credit Card Holder
Our vibrantly colorful credit card holder has lots of slots for all the plastic you carry, plus a window for your ID. Made from cruelty-free leather, respecting the lives of all animals.
The leather used to create our holder is made from the skins of animals that have died of natural causes. The leather is sourced in India from local "Haat" markets in villages where the predominately vegetarian population revere goats, cows, and buffalo for their value as milk animals, and where a live animal is considered to be worth far more than a dead one. Without economic incentive to kill animals for their skin, the artisans instead reclaim skins from animals that died naturally, and their practices are geared towards respect for all lives and for the environment.
- Blueberry, Lime, or Raspberry
- Cruelty-free leather
- Six card slots, including one with clear plastic front
- Center pocket for bills or more cards
- 4.5" H x 2.75" W (11.4 x 7 cm)
- Handmade in and fairly traded from India

Trinidad Trifacial— a unique, if somewhat heterodox, depiction of the Holy Trinity as Christ with three faces. I have posted this image before, with a sizable number of notes to boot, but never of sufficiently high resolution. It was painted by an anonymous artist of the Cusco school in the 18th century.
Definitely heterodox but delightfully bizarre.

BOOK REVIEW: When conservative youth looked ahead
By Wayne Thorburn
Jameson Books, $37.50, 576 pages
Nearly 100 bright, young conservative students from universities and colleges across the country gathered at the elegant "Great Elm" family estate of William F. Buckley Jr. in Sharon, Conn. on Sept. 10 and 11, 1960, to challenge America's leftist lurch and turn its political compass to the right.
The seeds for this student gathering, and the larger conservative movement to follow, were planted by Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater at the 1960 Republican National Convention in Chicago where a gang of precocious young conservatives (Youth for Goldwater) and other politicos were promoting him for the vice-presidential nomination.
Goldwater knew he wasn't going to be on the ticket, but he went to the podium to ask he not be considered, with a scolding admonition to the convention's conservatives that would eventually put them in charge of a national party apparatus and change the policy course of the country on a broad range of issues.
"Let's grow up, conservatives," Goldwater growled. "If we want to take this party back - and I think we can someday - let's get to work."
And get to work, they did. Goldwater met with the student leaders at the convention's end and urged them to turn their group into a permanent organization. And that led to the Great Elm conference where a ringing declaration of conservative political principles was written, known as the Sharon Statement, and Young Americans for Freedom was born.
These were a remarkable body of talented students, virtually all of whom went on to stellar careers of their own in politics, journalism, government, education and business.
They included William Schulz of Antioch College, who rose to become the influential Washington bureau chief and executive editor of Reader's Digest; David Franke who went on to become a noted book and magazine editor who authored numerous books of his own on politics, public policy and travel; Lee Edwards, a public relations executive who played key roles in numerous campaigns and on Capitol Hill and has authored numerous books.
Those who came to work for YAF, first in its New York office, then in Washington, honed their skills in a broad range of fields that were the tools of the movement's future success.
Richard Viguerie, YAF's executive secretary who became its in-house fundraiser, went on to parlay what he learned in those early years to lift political direct-mail fundraising into the stratosphere that bankrolled the movement and led to its increasing financial success, spawning dozens of conservative organizations. Money was now no longer an obstacle.
In all, YAF produced 26 members of Congress, eight U.S. Circuit Court judges, and battalions of college presidents, professors, journalists, campaign strategists, fundraisers and political warriors at every level of the nation's election process.
The Sharon Statement was written by M. Stanton Evans, who at the age of 26 became the editor of the Indianapolis News, who wrote it on the train to Connecticut. It touted limited government, individual and economic freedom and warned of the threat to that freedom from communism.
It declared "That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties; That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistence with, this menace"; and added, in a warning that is especially relevant today, "That American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States."
The organization grew into hundreds of chapters at colleges and universities across the country where professors were challenged over their leftist views, conservative leaders, like Buckley and many others, were invited on campus to speak, and conservatism found a new and youthful voice in the unlikeliest of places - academia.
A sign of YAF's ambition and ultimate influence came early in its young life in 1962 when it held a massive conservative rally in the bastion of American liberalism - New York City - a political feat no conservative youth group had attempted before. It packed Madison Square Garden where YAFers heard a bevy of rising conservative stars, including Texas Sen. John Tower and its keynoter, Goldwater, deliver a call to arms against liberalism and the rise of communism. Buckley's brother-in-law, L. Brent Bozell - long before Ronald Reagan rose to power - demanded that Nikita Khrushchev "tear down the wall" in Berlin. The next day, an aghast New York Times ran a front-page story headlined "Thunder on the Right."
Mr. Viguerie and Mr. Franke noted years later in a book on the movement that "If you are looking for a birth date when the conservative movement emerged out of the womb and announced itself to the public, no other event would qualify better than YAF's Madison Square Garden rally."
That monster rally, reported in newspapers and newsmagazines across the country, further fueled the Goldwater movement, which, in turn, led to the rise of Reagan that made conservatism a permanent fixture in American political life.
Wayne Thorburn, who joined YAF in 1961 and eventually became its executive director, has written a great book, filled with the stories behind YAF's rambunctious history and political growth. There were numerous internal battles along with its successes and YAF is no longer the force it once was, as other groups like Young America's Foundation have come along to fill much of its mission and extend its influence.
But it is worthwhile reading this absorbing political history of YAF if only to understand anew how a youth organization of like-minded conservatives with energy, imagination, ambition and grit can take on a seemingly insurmountable political foe and triumph in the battle of ideas.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl. John Paul II

Or you can take them to your local dry cleaners. They normally have a seamstress that hems pants. Another option is a shoe repair shop as they have a heavy duty sewing machine.
I hand sew my straps, just make the same size loop you would make with machine and start your stitch inbetween the straps to hide the excess line after the knot.
Overlap your stitch in a leapfrog maner by going up through the strap, over(follow your intended path), down both straps, 1/2 way back to the starting stitch, then up again through both straps, over(follow your intended path) leapfrog the down stitch, then down and 1/2 way back again, repeat in a double Z path and finish between the straps to hide the excess. I hope this makes sense. |
Beyond that, I wonder what (if any) strength you lose in tying a knot vs. sewing it (as compared to splicing vs. tying Amsteel). |
+1 on shoe repair shop. Will often do it will you wait. They've repaired packs for me several times. Heavy duty machines.
Larks head is guaranteed stronger than sewn. You lose about 2 inches and sacrifice 2 in weight which is like 2 grams?
i gots a thread injector dude, just hollar at me and ill sow em up!
Timber hitch around tree and marlin spike hitch for your whoopies. No loops required

Foods That Fight Stress Go Ahead, Eat That Anxiety Away! Foods That Fight Stress by Michele Foley 11/08/12 8 Reactions 267 Shares Print 71 134 61 0 1 With the holiday season upon us — presents to buy, meals to prepare, hardly a moment to hit the gym — it's easy to become stressed. While it's natural to choose a not-so-healthy snack to put stress at ease, there's a better solution when it comes to food. Just read on to find out which healthy foods can help conquer stress and boost your mood. Source: Thinkstock Start Almonds What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Munch on almonds and other nuts as a healthy, stress-fighting snack. Nuts are loaded with vitamin E, which boosts immunity. A healthy immune system means you're less likely to fall victim to that cold making its way around the office, and a healthier you means a much less stressed you, too. Source: Getty 1 / 8 Dark Chocolate What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Here's some great news: a small portion of chocolate as a pick-me-up isn't such a bad idea. This sweet treat helps to boost serotonin levels, which plays a key role in dealing with stress. In a study conducted by Duke Medical Center, researchers found that lower levels of serotonin actually cause a more extreme reaction when the body encounters stress. Source: Getty 2 / 8 Oranges What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Good-for-you oranges deliver some serious vitamin C. In addition to aiding the immune system, vitamin C is also credited with reducing the physical and psychological effects of stress on the body. Source: Getty 3 / 8 Spinach What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Turns out Popeye knew a thing or two about stress management. Spinach and other dark leafy greens like chard and kale are loaded with magnesium, which has been credited as a major stress fighter, helping to relax muscle fibers and put you at ease. Source: Getty 4 / 8 Fish What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon, is a perfect stress-fighting dinner option. Omega-3s have been shown to boost mood and brain function, and can aid significantly in dealing with anxiety and depression. Source: Getty 6 / 8 Complex Carbs What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chips, cookies, and cake are all classic cures when feeling stressed. But the feelings of elation are only momentary since fat- and sugar-laden foods almost always come with a crash-and-burn effect. Since carbs do raise serotonin levels, which helps decrease stress, choose complex ones instead. Things like whole grains and legumes digest slowly in the body, which allows for a steady stream of the feel-good chemical. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 8 Beef What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 B vitamins are part of the front line in defending the body against stress; meat lovers will be happy to hear that beef is one of the best ways to naturally get these essential nutrients. We recommend eating lean cuts a few times each week, and always opting for organic, grass-fed beef (it's richer in nutrients, tastes better, and less harmful to the environment). If you don't eat meat, there are still plenty of vegetarian options. Source: Thinkstock 7 / 8 Milk What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It seems that milk really does do a body good — especially when warm. Multiple studies link a glass of warm milk to reducing anxiety and mood swings, especially when PMSing. To keep things healthy, opt for a glass of low-fat to calm your nerves.

A Delaware judge said Royal Bank of Canada should be held liable to former shareholders of Rural/Metro Corp because it failed to disclose conflicts of interest that tainted the $438 million buyout of the ambulance operator. Bankers at RBC Capital Markets were so eager to collect higher fees that they convinced Rural/Metro directors to sell the company in June 2011 to private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC at an unreasonably low $17.25 per share, wrote Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster of the Delaware Chancery Court. Former Rural/Metro Corp shareholders are seeking about $172 million from Toronto-based RBC, representing the difference between the buyout price and what they believe the company was worth, according to published reports.

(The story corrects organization name to American Action Network in paragraph 15, from American Action Forum. The Network is an affiliate of the Forum that is allowed to engage in political activities under U.S. tax law.) By David Morgan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans, looking for ways to turn November's congressional elections into a referendum on President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, are trying to portray Obamacare as a danger to Medicare. The aim is to court one of the biggest and most reliable voting blocs in midterm elections, senior citizens and people near retirement, by depicting Republicans as defenders of the federal healthcare program for 42 million seniors. It's an attempt to turn the tables on Democrats, who in the 2012 presidential election attacked Republican Mitt Romney over Republican proposals to overhaul Medicare. More »

By Drazen Jorgic and Philippa Croome KAMPALA (Reuters) - With a World Bank scholarship and top grades in the first year of her masters degree in agriculture, 27-year-old Cleo Kambugu should be well on the road to her goal of an academic career in Uganda. Instead, she's working out how to leave after the passing of a law that toughens prison sentences for homosexuality and a tabloid campaign to "out" gays. "There is totally no hope right now," said Kambugu, still legally a man despite a sex change in the last year that is not recognized by Uganda, a nation that now has some of the toughest anti-gay laws on a continent where 37 states ban homosexuality. The bill, signed into law by President Yoweri Museveni on February 24, has forced embattled gays deeper into the shadows, by threatening life in jail for "aggravated homosexuality" and a seven-year term for "aiding and abetting homosexuality".

Does anyone know how to get the width and height of text in a TRichEdit control, in the same way that you would use TextWidth and TextHeight on a TCanvas?
The reason I need to know this doing this is I have a RichEdit on a non-visible form that I copy the contents of to a canvas using Richedit.Perform(EM_FORMATRANGE, ...). The problem is that the EM_FORMATRANGE requires a parameter of type TFormatRange in which the target rect is specified, but I don't know what the rect should be because I don't know in advance the size of the contents in the RichEdit. Hope that makes sense.

(with apologies to Mussolini) We want to take a train from Monterosso (via La Spezia) to Civitavecchia to start a cruise (on a Monday next fall). The guidebooks say that the trains to and from Cinque Terre are unreliable. I suspect the La Spezia to Rome train is reliable, but we will need to take the puddle jumper to La Spezia. There are only two trains that day that will allow us time to get to the cruise, so our window is small. Has anyone had experience with the Cinque Terre trains? How reliable or unreliable are they?
If the train is too unreliable, we'll probably have to go to Civitavecchia the night before, but I'd like to add another night in CT if possible.
Do the Italian trains still run on time? Cinque Terre question

NEVER leave yourself too little time to make a cruise. The cost if something happens to delay you can be enormous. (I always think the night before is safer.)
Report Abuse
The guidebooks are telling you "facts" based on what? Previous experiences? If so, on how many? One? Several? A whole lot?
It is very VERY easy to overcome any possibilities that a train might be so late to make you miss your cruise: go a night ahead of time>
I am sorry if that means you are spending more money and if you can think of a more foolproof way to ensure you make that cruise then please let the rest of us know exactly what it is. -
Report Abuse
>>>There are only two trains that day that will allow us time to get to the cruise, so our window is small.<<<
Not sure how you can determine this when summer schedules aren't even out yet (won't be until June).
I would plan to arrive the night before unless your cruise departs late in the day.
>>>I suspect the La Spezia to Rome train is reliable<<<
Just as reliable as the CT trains. -
Report Abuse
I rode the Cinque Terre milk shuttle trains several times in one day recently and they were always on time but yes leave as much time as possible - there were running about twice an hour at that time so take an earlier train and then wait an extra half hour for your other train.
Report Abuse
Another vote for going the day before - in my experience it is not only CT trains that can be "off schedule" in Italy.
Report Abuse
Put me in the "day before" column. I know of too many instances where people, like mu in-laws, missed cruises because they tried to cut it close on same-day transportation.
Report Abuse
the fact that Mussolini got the trains to run on time is I hear a fallacy - a fact a fallacy - a few mainline trains did or were coerced to run to schedule but not nearly all the trains as is often what is said.
Mussolini did knock down lovely old train stations like in Rome, Venice and Florence and erect in their places sleek modern ones of the so-called fascist school of architecture. -
Report Abuse
The whole Mussolini trains running on time thing is a myth. Most of the repairs that had been done to improve the rail system were completed before the fascists came into power in 1922, and those repairs didn't contribute much to trains running on time anyway.
But back to the original question: I never put myself in a situation where a late train might seriously mess up my plans. I've been on hundreds of trains in Europe, including Italian ones, and have had more than a few occasions where trains were late. Cows on the track, serious weather issues, passenger with a heart attack, flooding, mechanical malfunction...are just a few of the things I remember that made trains late. It's not the norm, of course, but all it takes is one instance and your plans are blown. Go the night before. -
Report Abuse
We're changing our plans and will go directly to Civitavecchia and take day trips to Cerveteri and Tarquinia before our cruise. Thanks for all your responses.
Report Abuse
And as a final note adding to the cautious statements of others here...they are liable to be on strike! That happened to use in October in the CT. Have fun on your cruise and relax now!
